SIMPILICITY MARKS NEW FALL DRESSES Simplicity of design mark the new fall coats and dresses which have just reached one of the prominent local stores. The coats are in the wrap around and straight back styles, with fur collars a common feature. Belts are not being used. They are sport garments for the most part, with olive greens, tans and plaids predominant. For later fall the darker shades are common. Camel's hair is the material in most frequent use. The dresses are in the darker shades for the most part, skirts are shorter, there are no belts, sleeves are long as a rule, and braid and embroidery are more in evidence than lace for trimming, altho some lace is being used as at present. Charmeuse, satin, canton crepe and charmeuse are the favorite materials employed. Both ready-to-wear garments are smart, without being loud, and will not distract from the main event. CAPACITY HOUSE AT THE UNIT The screen version of Stratton-Porter's famous movie "A Girl of the Limberlost," feature attraction at the U.S. Theatre, is certain to please who see it. Especially those have read the book, for Else seems to step from the pages onto the screen in a wholesome, tender love story. The story of "A Girl of Limberlost" is that of a young girl and her struggle for an education in spite of the opposition of her mother and her district hatred of the child because of consuming and misplaced love. An erring husband who met an irritable death on the night she girl was born. The love affair the girl and the victory of sweet and loving nature over jealous opposition of her secluded companions is simply and intently told.

The role calls for wide range of emotional work all of which Miss Grey is enlightened. Gertrude Olmsted, is the painter and pampered daughter of a family and who insists on flaunting her social position. Emily Fitfroy is the most mature Kate Comstock, the love-benefited creature whose pathetic treatment of her patient daughter and whose heart-breaking experiences bring to the part an emotional sympathy that leaves everlasting impression on her conscience. Cullen Landis, always a play of excellence, has one of the major male roles. The other sympathetically played by Monk McKee, whose work as star of "Down to the Sea Ships" established him on the Furniture for living-room, dining-room and bed-room is here, to say nothing about the kitchen, the humbler assortment of which is quite as necessary to a well-balanced home. The Chicago fair, by the way, was held in the Wrigley building, the largest exhibit structure in the world. The San Francisco exhibit now is semi-annual instead of annual and attracts its thousands instead of hundreds.

DEPOT WASHINGTON, Aug. 6 — The city of Los Angeles today requested the interstate commerce commission to direct certain railroads entering that city to construct and operate the union passenger depot.

Halliwell against the Clausen Furniture Co. of Santa Ana, asking $15,846.10 damages based on an automobile accident, was continued today until October 1. Announcing Tonight Sebastian's Removal Sale! FLAT FEET IS COMMON AILMENT "An army has to go on its feet, and its capacity for going is limited by the capacity of the feet of the men to function." This interesting reminder serves to introduce an article in the current weekly number of the "Boot and Shoe Recorder" on "Our Flattening Feet," by a well-known foot specialist. It is quoted from a book "Defects in Drafted Men," published by War Department, which observes further that "a breaking down of the arches of the foot, flat-foot, is the commonest cause of disfunctioning and, therefore, the most serious single obstacle in the formation of an effective army from men in civil life." The book was prepared under the direction of the U. S. Surgeon General. "Passive amusements" are blamed for weaknesses of the arch, the auto being hit among other things. Occupational tasks that require people to stand on their feet too much of the time is another cause. Foot exercises in particular and walking in general are recommended as cures. CAN WHITE RACE COLONIZE TROPHY Whether the tropical part Australia and other countries can ever be successfully located by white races and while the colored race can fitably associate were questioned and answered today Professor J. W. Gregory, the tinguished geologist and grapher of Glasgow university. Dr. Gregory first dealt with increase in population in more times and the new political actions to which it has given quoting as examples of the U. S. limitation of immigration and the White Austrian policy. The white race, he pointed, governs eight ninths of the table land of the Globe, is therefore, a very heavy pean responsibility. This sponsorship, said the professor, becoming an almost dangerous burden, for the colored race increasing in numbers more than the whites and the personal authority which the man held at the end of the century has suffered a modest decline. After brief mention of the graphical principles of racial relations was drawn white colonists have no chance of successfully occupying near the crowded parts of or accessible to the fast plying negroes of Africa. The policy of co-residence with social separation is our trial at the present day in U. S. A. There, in spite efforts to promote good fe A new low priced 1925 MODEL is coming.

There are so many time and labor saving devices the market and they all help bride to do her housework in scientific manner. For instance there is the range with the automatic oven regulator in which food can be placed, the regular set to the desired temperature, food left to cook without further supervision. The steam pre-cooker is another cooking device that is well worth investigating. For the cooking utensils the its of aluminum and enamel should be investigated. Enamel chips eventually but is often cleaned and most attractive to especially in white or blue white. Then there are various glass baking dishes that are particularly appetizing.

PACITY HOUSE AT THE UNITED The screen version of Gene ton-Porter's famous novel, Girl of the Limberlost," the rare attraction at the Unitee atre, is certain to please all see it. Especially those who read the book, for Elnora us to step from the printed onto the screen in a gooq, esome, tender love story. The story of "A Girl of the overlost" is that of a young and her struggle for an eduation in spite of the opposition her mother and her distorted of the child because of a ruming and misplaced love for raring husband who met a terd death on the night the baby was born. The love affair of girl and the victory of her tet and loving nature over the ous opposition of her school opportunities is simply and interestted told. Horria Grey is the delightful horra Comstock of the story, a who rises above the objecsions, scoldings and harsh treatment of he rmother, and keeps afast to her desire to win an aation. The role calls for a range of emotional work in of which Miss Grey is excellerude Olmsted, is the petted pampered daughter, of a rich ly and who insists upon entering her social position. Emily Fitzroy is the mother, Comstock, the love-benumbreature whose pathetic mismeasure of her patient daughter, whose heart-breaking experiries bring to the part an emoial sympathy that leaves an asting impression on the audiallen Landis, always a player excellence, has one of the two or male roles. The other is pathetically played by Raydol McKee, whose work as the of "Down to the Sea in" established him on the top- SARGUM PROUTINGS The bill which would legalize ten round boxing bouts in California is sure of a place on the ballot of the reading election. The necessary signatures have been procured and Secretary of State has ordered the amendment to be placed on the ballot. It is very doubtful that the proposed measure will carry although boxing is more generally popular than ever before. The American Legion has been a big factor in popularizing boxing. The men that had to train found boxing to be one of the important parts of their conditioning and they became interested in the game. After the war was over and they came back to civil life, naturally looked to boxing for their thrilla. Boxing had become a part of their life and they no longer looked on it as a rough sport but as a sport that might be shared with their wives and sweethearts, so the women folk became interested and today a large portion of any boxing audience is made up of the fair fans. As long as the four round bouts are permitted the people might as well have ten rounds. There really is not as much danger of the contestants receiving injuries in the longer bout as in the short bout, because the contestants may enter the short bout with little or no training while they know that they must be in condition to go longer route. As long as an athlete is in real condition he stands very little chance in being injured to any extent in a boxing bout. The seat sale for the WillFirpo bout indicate that the fraca will be pulled off before the largest crowd ever assembled for a fight where a title was not included. NOTABLE ARTISTS APPEAR TONIGHT Preparations for the concert this evening in the Fairyland, which is a benefit for the fresh air camp in Trabuco canyon, are completed. Artists from all over the north half of the county have volunteered their assistance and tickets have been selling briskly. Placenta Round Table Club Dramatic Section under direction Mrs. Herbert Sullivan will stage "The Trials of a Hostess," a merry comedy splendidly interpreted by the Mesdames Fred Cline, Nina McLellan, J. Bender, C. McFarlard, C. P. Smith, S. Sullivan, Monroe, A. Pierotti, and T. L. McFadden. Jose Sanchez who is soon to appear on the concert stage, and whose voice needs no introduction to Orange-co, will represent the community of Yorba. Mrs. Emma J. Seamans a well known Yorba Linda, planiste, will entertain with plano selections. Mrs. Seamans is also a concert artist of note. Mrs. J. J. Farley who won national fame as the soloist in John McGroarty's Mission Play, will lend a Fullerton contribution to the program. Mrs. Estella Walker will sing a lyric selection which will place Richfield on the list of artistic talent. Lennie Tanner, the infinitable child orator will be a drawing card, for his talks over the radio and his clever readings have made him a county favorite. Dorothy Winters a clever whistler of Anaheim high school has two numbers. Mrs. Hemus of Olinda will give one of her clever readings and Little Lorce Denton one of the baby stars of the county will give a fancy dance in costume. Billie Summers the five-year-old singer who was a star at the California theater on the recent Children's program, will sing one of his patriotic songs. A clever reader of Garden Grove has volunteered her services. Brea will be represented by a saxophone artist who is consid- COMSTOCK, the love-benumb-creature whose pathetic mis-ment of her patient daughter, whose heart-breaking experi-ment brings to the part an emo-ral sympathy that leaves an asting impression on the aud-ence. HILEN LANDIS, always a player excellence, has one of the two or male roles. The other is pathetically played by Ray-Lawrence McKee, whose work as the author of "Down to the Sea in" established him on the top-rung of juvenile successes. The other roles of the picture excellently cast and the fea-tures directed with an under-standing and care for detail that gets much credit upon James Mechan. The settings are realistic and the camera work out flaw. Girl of the Limberlost" is one of the sort of pictures that into the worth-white class. It remains at the United The-for two more days. IN WHITE RACE COLONIZE TROPICS Whether the tropical parts of Australia and other countries ever be successfully populated by white races and whether the col-red races can pro-lyse as examples of the latter U.S. limitation of immigra-ration and the 'White Australian' race, he pointed out, three eight ninths of the habi-lance land of the Globe, there therefore, a very heavy Euro-currency responsibility. This re-liability, said the professor, is among an almost dangerous men, for the colored races are causing in numbers more rap-ble whites and the per-nal authority which the white held at the end of the last century has suffered a moment-decline. After brief mention of the geo-historical principles of inter-relational relations was drawn that colonists have no chance successfully occupying land in the crowded parts of Asia accessible to the fast multi-aging negroes of Africa. The policy of co-residence in social separation is on its at the present day in the A. There, in spite of all efforts to promote good feeling. Dazzy Vance, who is hanging up another good record with the Brooklyn Dodgers, is frank enough to admit that he has a boxing bout. The seat sale for the Willie Firpo bout indicate that the fraca will be pulled off before the largest crowd ever assembled for a fight where a title was not involved. The betting is at even money at present. Odds will favor the case that shows up the best in the training. Firpo is far from being in the condition as when he fought Denpsey. The Big South American is young and in all probability respond to his trailing stunts rapidly. Wills is in fair shape and may not show up much better as the fight draws near. "Pickles!" Heinz, who managed the Gene Murphey ball club in their two appearances on the local diamond last spring, died Saturday from blood poisoning. Fureral services were held Monday morning at the W.A. Brown parlor, Los Angeles. Heinz was one of the most ardent and best liked men in the semi-pro ranks. He thoroughly understood the game and had acted as unplease in many of the important college and high school games played in and around Los Angeles. Old Hans Wagner, the greatest shortstop that ever threw a ball, is to don the spangles and play in a veterans game to be staged by the Cleveland Amateur Baseball and Athletic Assn. The game will take place Aug. 17 at Dunn. Old Hans was a credit to the game, a real sport at all times. If he were at his prime today he would be worth a real fortune. The Tigers have a real man's week ahead of them if they but a crimp in the rush pennant world of Del Howard's gang of wild Oaks. The great Duster Malls will have two cracks at the Easie men this week and if the erratic one is right, the Tigers will have a very tough time searching the home port. The other teams can not stop the Oaks so it is up to the Tigers for the Oaks must be stopped. Bill Essie is having a lot of hard luck trying to fashion a winning pitching staff. Penner and Shellenbach have been carry- Announcing Tonight Sebastian's Removal Sale! ing the burden of the pitching. Young Bryan has helped out a lot since his arrival, but others of the would-be great fallen down on Bill. With a couple of dependable mounsmen the Tigers would be very much in the race. Bill Rogers, who used to manage the Sacramento team and also at one time played second base for McCruze on the old winning Portland round, has asked for the position as manager of the Beavers. Bill is a peppery guy that takes well with the fans but if the Portland crew can keep up the great work under Brazil, why change? Eight straight wins with a tail-end club is some record, and the Portland owners should be satisfied so far... Roy Maboe is going about getting into shape in a business like banner. They say that there is a wonderful change in the old Roy since he wrestled Miller. Roy claims that he had trouble with his muscles kinking on him while training for the Miller match. He says that he was bothered to such an extent that he got in very little real training. His muscles are pliable now and he can work as long as he pleases without any ill effects. He is going to try just once more to throw the Brea lad. He says that win or lose it is his last wrestling bout. Maybe so, maybe no.

There are so many and labor saving devices on market and they all help the do her housework in a tittle manner. For instance is the range with the auto-o oven regulator in which can be placed, the regulator to the desired temperature and left to cook without further revision. The steam pressure meter is another cooking device is well worth investigating. The cooking utensils the merchant aluminum and enamelware did be investigated. Enamel chips eventually but is easily used and most attractive to see, initially in white or blue and red. Then there are various baking dishes that are practiced. The casserole in which the is cooked and serve saves washing; and the food thus direct from the even looks circularly appetizing. Dazzy Vance, who is hanging up another good record with the Brooklyn Dodgers, is frank enough to admit that he has a pitching fault. That is his inability to change his pitching pace. Vance doesn't refer to any lack of a fast and slow ball to use interchangeably. He refers to his inability to "breeze along" when the going is easy. "I have to bear down almost every minute I'm in the box," said Vance in a recent chat. "Some pitchers, when they have a good day, can pitch at an easy gate, except in the pinches. They save their arms and strength that way without endangering their chances of winning a game." "With me it is different. I seem to be unlucky when I let up a bit. If I take it easy for an inning, or two I find myself with a couple of men on base. Then my troubles begin. I have to pitch in earnest until I get out of the tight place. One the other hand, if I keep "bearing down" all the time I seldom find myself in hot water." Vance's remarkable strikeout performances and his earned run averages show that he seldom forgets his fault and "lets up." When the opposition runs up a cluster of runs it is because they have found Vance off form or are on a rampage. Ordinarily they find themselves searching in vain for base hits, even if the Dazzy's own team has staked him to an easy lead early in the game. Dazzy Vance is too busy most of the time striking out National league batters to talk. He's a quiet gent, anyhow. The other day he discoursed at some length—for Vance—on the business of pitching as he saw it. And he sprung some rather novel ideas. Most pitchers have classified the batters who face them into two groups, the "tough" ones and the easy victims. Grover Alexander, for instance, says that Rogers Hornsby and Frank Frisch are the two hardest men in the league to outguess. Vance was asked who, he figured was the hardest man to pitch to. "There isn't any such animal," came back Vance. Then he pointed out that last year Hornsby seemed the hardest man to turn back. On one occasion the Cardinal star collected four hits in one game off the Dazzling one's shoots. "A while ago I tackled Hornsby," went on Vance, and struck him out three times in one game." "To go further," said he, "I struck out George Kelly five times in a row last year. This year Kelly broke up the two games the Giants took from me. Figure that out. "The clubs are the same as the individual players. Two years ago I licked the Cubs five times in a row. Last year they gave me a bad day every time I faced them." All of which shows that Vance has been studying pitching and batters while doing his daily for the Brooklyn team. And all of which also kicks the "jonah" idea in the head. Pitchers for years have carried in their heads a list of batters that they believed were "Jonahs." Likewise, batters always have found one or two pitchers in their leagues that they believed to be "hoodoos." Lou Gehring, hailed as a second Babe Ruth by many critics while he was with the Yanks last spring and then sent to the minors for a second spell of seasoning, is ready to come back to the big show and prove that he is a second Behemoth of Swat. Gehrig, who won his rep with the Columbia University nine, was shipped to Hartford in the Eastern league by Huggins early this year. He has been playing first base in wonderful style and hitting at a terrific galt. The Yanks tried him out once before and sent him to the same team, Hartford. Be was much greener then, however.

ILLINOIS FARMS FAIL TO PAY URBANA, Ill., Aug. 6—Illinois farmers fall short of making 5 per cent on a conservative valuation on land, to say nothing of the farmer’s labor and management, according to a study of representative records kept by farmers in 11 counties of the state and summarized by the College of Agriculture, University of Illinois. A summary of the records examined showed the earnings slumped to the point where the owners lacked $12 of getting anything for their labor and management after a fair amount of interest had been deducted. Expressed in another way, the earnings of the farmers, whose records were examined, were such that even if they were allowed labor wages comparable to a hired man’s wages, they still made only 3.47 per cent on their investment to pay them for the use of their capital and their managing ability.
