BRITISH WOULD MEET AMERICANS By DAVIS J. WALSH (I. N. S. Sports Editor) NEW YORK, March 11.—With the commendable idea of providing diversion for dear old London, a plot is thickening whereby the Olympic teams of the United States and Great Britain will take issue in an international dual meeting, subsequent to the Olympic games in Paris this summer. The idea is strictly England's own and it has even gone so far as to dispatch one Richmond Temple, director of the London Ass'n, to New York to see what can be done about it. Temple hopes to convince A. A. U., officials that the enterprise will be for the best. He will go into immediate conference with them, armed with pleas calculated to prove that the meet will react favorably upon the amicable relations between the two countries and can be conducted with slight expense to either, to say nothing of the prospect of much profit. It is understood that Temple can promise the use of a stadium seating 250,000 for the affair. In this case, an attendance of 50 per cent would go some distance toward underwriting the expense of the entire American trip, he declares. Present plans call for a program of 12 events, most of the standard variety, with first places only to count, according to the continental system of scoring. There is no catch in the thing. Mr. Temple intimates. The British have nothing up their sleeve, behind the ear, or under the armpit. They expect to lose.

OF C. CYPRESS, March 12.—The C. of C. went over big at its booster meeting last night. It was the most enthusiastic meeting ever held in this district. The spirit of good fellowship prevailed and the many new comers to the little town became acquainted with the old resident and the old resident learned who his new neighbor was; it was a regular come on let's go, booster meeting. W. C. Miller presided and called the large gathering to order at 8:15 and all joined in singing the Cypress "Booster" song, after which the minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. The following programme of home talent was enjoyed. A quartette composed of Mrs. H. LaRue, Mrs. G. G. Priddy, W. J. Rennie and W. C. Miller rendered two numbers; reading Margaret Inkeepe; song by little Reva Francis Fridley; reading Clair Barnette; reading Grace Ledford; piano solo; Mrs. Edith Source; reading Walter Martin and another selection bp the quartette. The chair then introduced Mr. G. A. Raymer of Fullerton and secretary of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange-co who delivered a very inspiring address. Mr. Raymer pointed out with the great influx of home seekers into our Southern California each community had great probes before it in housing and establishing industries so that the new comer would not only have a place to live but would also have a means of making a living. He pointed out that no one man could build up a town but that it took the co-operation of the bulk of the citizenry of that town, the greater the co-operation the greater the growth of projects. He also gave a word of cheer to the booster concerning those that held back. He said that everything of benefit to a number had been accomplished by the efforts of only a part of that number, every con- DEMPSEY DENIES GIBBONS BATTLE MINNEAPOLIS, March 12.—Jack Demsey, passing thru here today from Chicago to his home in Salt Lake City, told newspaper men that he would not meet Tommy Gibbons of St. Paul this year and that his only big fight probably will be a return engagement with Luis Firpo in New York Labor Day.

A 15-minute recess was then taken and a membership drive launched. The result of which was 54 new memberships. The meeting was then called to order and after some discussion it was decided to elect the board of directors for the coming year.

MUSCH INTEREST IN AIRLINE HIGHWAY The next step in promotion of the proposed airline highway from Los Angeles to Orange-co will be the organization of committees three from each community interested. Supervisor Wm. Schumacker stated today. Another conference will be called at Norwalk as soon as these committees are named and then will follow the work of obtaining a 100-foot right of way. Schumacker expects that committees will soon be appointed by most of the cities in the country. He has asked Anaheim, Fullerton, Placentia, Yorba Linda and Buena Park to name them. The supervisors will also have such a committee. It is not believed that Los Angeles-co, which has the right-of-way most of the way along the Manchester-ave route to Orange-co line will be able to pave for three years and Orange-co will hardly be able to do better. It is planned to pave 25 feet wide at first and then broaden as traffic demands later. "It was very evident at yesterday's meeting that considerable impetus is being given the project in Los Angeles-co and Orange-co will also have to promote it," said Schumaker. The Los Angeles-co planning team has been an active part in the development of this airport. BANK CLEARINGS San Francisco, $26,900,000. Seattle, $8,572,152. Portland, $7,078,998. Oakland, $2,540,900.

TRY A CLASSIFIED AD A Better Way To Treat All Croupy Colds An External Treatment That Replaces Internal Dosing. Nothing to Swallow—You Just Rub It On. Today millions of modern mothers treat croup and children's cold troubles by the waver method. They use Vicks, the vaporizing salve, because it is externally applied. There's no going to upset a delicate little stomach. When rubbed on over throat and chest Vicks acts like a liniment or macer. At the same time, the ingredients, released as vapors by the body heat, are inhaled directly into the affected air passages. For spasmodic croup you rub Vicks well in over throat and chest until the difficult breathing is relieved, then spread on thickly and cover with a warm flannel cloth. An application at bedtime will prevent most night attacks. Vicks is just as good, of course, for the other gold troubles of children and also for adults. 11th Annual Wall Paper SALE!
