DOUBT ABILITY TO DEFEND CANAL COLON, Pamana Canal Zone, Jan. 16.—The question of America's ability to defend the Panama Canal from a theoretical "enemy" was in grave doubt today as naval maneuvers involving about 100 United States aircraft of all classes got fully under way. The mimic "war" situation in the Canal Zone to test the defenses of the canal, is as follows: The "Blue American fleet" began moving thru the waterway from the Pacific side to form a juncture with the American fleet of destroyers and submarines which will lead the way for the "advance." The "black" or "enemy" fleet, is somewhere in the Carribean preparing to attack. The military defense situation is serious. Military officials admitted they were able to man only one-third of their defensive guns at the eastern entrance. Also, they admit that more than one half their high angle (anti-aircraft) guns are either dismounted or have not arrived yet. This gives the "enemy" bombing and scouting squadrons a big advantage. The movement of 9,000 United States troops in the canal zone from Pacific to Atlantic side is under way. The delay of the maneuvers in getting under way was due to an unique "tomato bombing attack." Two airmen from the canal zone station—Captain A. W. South and Lieut. Odas Moore—had been sent to Costa Rica to help that country handle its mail following washouts which delayed railway mail service. On their way back they brot with them a quantity of large tomatoes. On Sunday night, while flying over the Caribbean they encountered the "black" (enemy) fleet. The airmen flew low and bombarded the big airplane carrier Langley with tomatoes. Upon reaching their base at Colon they reported their stunt to the commander. The discovery of PLACENTIA PLACENTIA, Jan. 16 — Spl.

Renner, local maintanant in an open letter to stockholders of the old Foundry Machine Works explains affinity of former company and unmoral co-operation and immediate financial support for the new industry. He fears local indifference lack of support may force new corporation to accept finance and locate elsewhere in So.C. To the stockholders of Anaheim Foundation & Mac Works formerly the Oil Tool Service Mfg. Co. Fellow Stockholders: This is to inform you regarding the affairs of the corporation of which you are a stockholder. As you have been previously visited, the old corporation been practically in a bankrupt condition for many months. The fact that an actual condition of bankruptcy is not existing is due to two things namely: First: That the tangible physical assets were not of enough value, in the opinion of a majority of the creditors, to liquidate the debts through the process of insolvency courts as realizing this they arranged with Mr. Roscoe to endeavor to create a new enterprise which could use the machinery, plant equipment and pay for them at a higher price than could be obtained from forced liquidation in the insolvency courts. This arrangement was made thru the efforts of our local Chamber of Commerce. Second: That Mr. Roscoe may make a conditional agreement which he or a new organization would assume a major portion of the old corporations' indebtedness. The condition being that satisfactory extensions of time be paid for same be given by the creditors in order to arrange it.

Defies Age by Using Ordinary Buttermilk, Beautify Complexion This Pretty Girl Tells Druggists Not to Take Anyone's Money Unless This Delightful New Vanishing Cream Shows a Decided Improvement. Buttermilk Cream creates beauty almost like magic. The most wonderful thing about it is the fact that whilst it turns the dullest, most lifeless complexion to radiant beauty and makes red or rough hands or arms snowy white, yet there is not the slightest sign of its use after application. It actually vanishes from sight and the most heated atmosphere will not produce the least shininess or greatness of the skin. No matter whether you are troubled with a poor complexion, wrinkles, puffiness around the eyes, freckles, crowns feet or lines around the mouth, ugly finger nails, or just a simple roughness of the face, hands or arms caused by wind or sun, you will find that any or all of these troubles will quickly disappear with the use of Howard's Buttermilk Cream.

For the purpose of obtaining capital, temporarily pending the final financing of the new industry the stockholders in the old Anaheim Foundry & Machine Works, their friends, local merchants, bankers, professional men and ranchers are being invited to subscribe to a loan at seven percent interest, secured by a deed and bill of sale of the company's property valued at over twice the amount of the loan. In common with some other merchants of Anaheim I am vitally interested in having a payroll here, built up on manufactured products which are either used locally, so that local expenditures will benefit local tradesmen or products which are sold to other communities and the proceeds and profits of these sales brought back to Anaheim and reinvested in salaries which in turn will find their way into TUBBY Far OUTSELLS ALL other brands WHY? An Anaheim Sell Itself to New Metal Industries, Asks Renner Cear H. Renner, local merchant, in an open letter to stockholders of the old Foundry and mine Works, explains affairs of co-operation and immediate social support for the new industry. Fears local indifference and lack of support may force the corporation to accept finances located elsewhere in So. Calif. The stockholders of the Anaheim Foundry & Mining is formerly the Oil Tool Serfing, Co. New Stockholders: It is to inform you regarding affairs of the corporation which you are a stockholder. You have been previously advised that the old corporation has practically in a bankrupt condition for many months. Fact that an actual condition of bankruptcy is not now due to two things: 1. That the tangible physical assets were not of enough value in the opinion of a major creditor, to liquidate the debts through the procedure of insolvency courts and bring this they arranged with Roscoe to endeavor to create enterprise which could manufacture, plant etc., pay for them at a higher than could be obtained by liquidation in the insolicitous courts. This arrangement made thrue the efforts of our Chamber of Commerce. And that Mr. Roscoe made conditional agreement by the or a new organization assume a major portion of old corporations' indebtedness. The condition being that factory extensions of time for rent of same be given by the firms in order to arrange a bank deposits and home building and give increased business to our retail stores and professions. It was with this thought in mind that my partner and myself and Mr. Armbrust first became interested in the old Anaheim Foundry & Machine Works and it is for the same reason that the three of us and others are putting money, time and effort into the new industry. The problem now confronting us is having invested in this enterprise all that we can safely take from our own businesses, are we going to have some financial co-operation in our endeavors to give our city a much needed payroll through a sound manufacturing enterprise. This new Anaheim Metal Industries is expanding its business very rapidly and has a conservative management, competent department, heads and employees and has overcome most of the trials and tribulations usually incident to the development of a new business with one exception. This exception is the lack of capital and co-operation which it expected and is entitled to and which it would have and may be forced to accept in any one of a dozen other cities in Southern California, where merchants, bankers, professional men, landowners and ranchers have organized committees with definite plans and ample funds for financing industries. Immediate action and support of our new industry is imperative and I would appreciate a personal call or letter from any stockholder or other Anaheim well-wisher who will co-operate with services or with money, secured by the above mentioned assets.
