WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1924 THE P METCALF TALKS TO CYPRESS C. of C. In the address given by E. H. Metcalf last night before Cypress C. of C., many important features of today were discussed. He stressed cooperation by which the C. of C. may further the best interest of a community to the limit. He voiced his approval of the Newport harbor development although he acknowledged his former disapproval. Good citizenship, with regard for the rights of others, patriotism, etc., were named as the duty of every American. He touched upon the crime cost to the country and quoted some appalling figures recently compiled. G. G. Priddy brought up the matter of street drainage, Walker-st, especially being ramed. He also brought up the matter of petitioning for the extension of the street to Orangethorpe, ultimately putting Cypress on the direct boulevard line between Whittler and Huntington Beach. The suggestion for an auto parking camp grounds was an interesting topic which brought no particular action from the chamber but was heartily approved. Several locations are available, but the gum grove half mile east of Cyprus was favored. The "Kitchen Sink-o-paters" were introduced who proceeded to give a novel musical treat. Miss Edna Rennie, through the spout on a teapot, Miss Roberta Cawthon, with a comb, and Miss Blanche Cawthon, on a musical (?) galvanized tub, played many Hawaiian airs. Miss Mae Priddy accompanied the young ladies at the piano. All were in "attractive" costume and played with wonderful ability. Mrs. Ben Seance and Miss Wilma McClintock each played several plane numbers and little Margaret Bernott, aged 4, gave a fancy dance. Miss Priddy played her accompaniment, also. Refreshment of cantaloupe a la medo was served by the "sink-o-paters." Thwarted in Effort to Comply With Dying Wish of His Wife It was his dying wife's wish, so Crist Hanson walked all the way from Colorado to New York, carrying his infant son in his arms, in the hope of being able to work his way back to Sweden. But he could not find a sea job that would enable him to take his boy along, so he is walking back to his former home. YORBA LINDA ZOO TROPIC BEASTS FEEL HEAT MOST CINGINNATI, Aug. 20—"What GLASS FACTORY OPENS SEPT 10th The McBride Glass Co.'s new factory will open Sept. 10, according to an announcement made to the Anaholt C. of C. by Thomas P. McBride, head of the concern. City Engineer Hapgood now is busy examining the grades of the 128 acres in the new tract annexed to the city, preparatory to laying water and sewer pipe to connect with the glass works and the industrial district generally. The money for both kinds of pipe is already available. According to Secretary George W. Reid of the C. of C., a temporary 2-inch water pipe will not be laid, but a permanent pipe of larger size. The glass works itself requires only about 100 gallons per day to be used by the help for drinking, etc. The laying of the sewer pipe will take place as soon as possible. The work of cutting through the new 60-foot street immediately south of the glass works and running east and west will be another thing now in order, says Secretary Reid. This street and all others to be laid out will be carefully graded and oiled. Other streets will not be cut thru until required. Bids will be opened shortly on the first lot of water pipe, four-inch and six-inch, to be used by the city. DIES AS BOLT STRIKES 2ND TIME ALBUQUERQUE, Aug. 15. The theory that lightning does not strike twice in the same place was dispelled recently by reports from the forests of New Mexico. Some time ago Victor Ortega, fore lookout in the Carson Forest, was killed by lightning. Details were lacking. A report to the district office here has just been filed. Ortega was struck by the first bolt about 3 o'clock in the afternoon in the lookout cabin on the top of Canillon Mountain. His leg was severely burned. While Mrs. Ortega was dressing the wound the second bolt crashed in, striking Ortega on the head. He was killed instantly. YORBA LINDA, Aug. 20. Mrs. W. J. Murray delightfully entertained the Yorba Linda Bridge club at her home on Wednesday afternoon. After several hours spent pleasantly around the card tables prizes were awarded Mrs. Harry Hoben, first; Mrs. B. M. Selover, second, and Mrs. C. H. Elchler, conglation. The hostess, assisted by Miss Marsha Vernon and Mrs. Lee Vernon, served dainty refreshments. Members present were: Mesdames Gallerled Page, C. H. Elchler, B. M. Selover, H. R. Brown, M. F. Hoben, R. C. Cochran, Ward Holland and Miss Marsha Vernon. Guests of the club were Mrs. A.W. Miller, Mrs. A.P.Yerington and Mrs. Lee Vernon. Mrs. Mary B. Gale returned Thursday from a vacation trip spent at Oceanside. A crowd of young people to the number of 22 motored to Balboa Palisades on Saturday and camped until Sunday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Roscoe Cram sponsored the party and all present reported a jolly time. Fumigation for black scale is now in full blast over this district and ranchers who have groves that are infested with this pest are urged to have fumigation done at this time while the hatch is stated to be in the best condition for a complete kill. A special train will leave Yorba Linda depot at 5:30 p.m. Thursday and will take a large number of local people to the "Pilgrimage Play" at Hollywood. A special rate for fare and for the play was secured by the local C. of C.on a guarantee of 50, but it is expected many more than that will take advantage of the offer. The board of directors of the Yorba Linda Water Co., at the meeting last week voted to have the office kept open on Saturday afternoons, beginning September 1. The board also reported the new gas engine recently purchased has arrived and is being installed. The directors voted to give $80 to the support of the utilities department of the Farm Center, A.M. Stanley and A.W.Miller appearing before the board. Dr. and Mrs. R.C. Cochran spent Sunday at Redondo. Mr. and Mrs. R.A.Knight and family and Mr. and Mrs.G.Besett and son returned Friday from a two weeks' motor trip spent in freshment of cantaloupe a la mode was served by the "sink-o-paters." ZOO TROPIC BEASTS FEEL HEAT MOST CINCINNATI, Aug. 20. What wild animals do you think feel the heat most?" asked Colonel Sol A. Stephan, general manager of the Cincinnati Zoo. "Why, polar bears and wolves and other things that come from 'way up North,' of course," answered the reporter. "It not in ten million years," remarked Colonet Stephan, as he watched two gobs of perspiration racing down the reporter's face. "The animals most affected by hot weather are the lions, tigers, giraffes, elephants and other beasts from Africa and India. "I'll admit it's hotter in Africa and India. But the flora and tigers and elephants don't stand out in the sun like you and I are doing now. They hide away in the daytime in the jungles, where it is nice and cool, and come forth at night to get their meals." "We have to keep turning the hose on these tropical creatures during hot weather." One day last week we found old "Abe," one of our giraffes, whom we consider the finest specimen of his kind in captivity, nearly gone. We lost no time in giving him first-aid treatment; for he is worth a lot of money." Lil., the elephant, wasn't feeling any too good, so we gave her a good cold bath also. "The polar bears don't mind the heat, as they stay in the water most of the time. Neither do the they may find refuge from the sun." TO PEDAL BOAT ACROSS OCEAN WARRINGTON, Mass., Aug. 20. William Cidham Warrington engineer and ex-soldier, has constructed a midget all-steel boat, 12 feet long, in which he intends to cycle across the Atlantic. This strange craft has taken two and a half years to construct. It is built like a submarine, with six water-tight compartments, and is equipped with saills. The only means of propulsion will be a pedal arrangement, worked like a bicycle, connected with the screws. Oldham estimates the voyage at 40 days. A serious shortage of women with nothing to say is reported—Edwardsville (Ill.) Intelligence from the forests of New Mexico. Some time ago Victor Ortega, fore lookout in the Carson Forest, was killed by lightning. Details were lacking. A report to the district office here has just been filed. Ortega was struck by the first bolt about 3 o'clock in the afternoon in the lookout cabin on the top of Canjilion Mountain. His leg was severely burned. While Mrs. Ortega was dressing the wound the second bolt erased it, striking Ortega on the head. He was killed instantly. Times are so bad now that some people are having to go to work—Edwardsville Intelligencer. "Easy" Vacuum Washer EASY TO OPERATE EASY TO OWN EASY ON THE WIFE Anaheim Electric Co. 209 West Center St. Anaheim, Calif. THE PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIF. COUNTY POLITICAL HONOR AT STAKE Atty. Geo. Varnum, in an expression today on the local situation, unhesitatingly and emphatically stated that there could be no middle ground among the moral forces of the community as to Kline for the senate. "Political honor must be observed or political confidence will be wholly lost. When Riverside-co gave Eden to Orange-co the last time without opposition on the agreement, that Riverside should have the senator this year it made it impossible for Orange-co to honorably present a candidate. I do not believe that the voters of Orange-co will stand for such an affront to Riverside-co. It is exceptionally poor politics for Orange-co to incur the enmity and resentment of the rest of the district when friendship, goodwill and co-operation are essential to the largest results for the good of Orange-co herself. "As to the assembly and supervisor it will be indeed fortunate when Perry Woodward represents the best elements of the third district assuring an administration in full harmony with the need for economy, lower taxes, elimination of all luxury expenditures, and recognition of present conditions as demanding SAVING and as little taxation as possible. "It is high time that Orange-co should cease to be a pawn to serve the ambitions of those outside the county. In Allen there is sure to be at least ONE member who can be independent on every issue raised. One thing is sure—Allen's friends will vote for him without wavering and his FLAMES THREATEN TOWN OF JULIAN SAN DIEGO, Aug. 20. — After sweeping within 50 yards of the town of Julian, 50 miles northeast of here, volunteer fire fighters, consisting of men, women and children, armed with wet sacks, planks and shovels, today had saved the town and mastered one of the worst forest fires in this section. The fire, believed to have started from a cigarette, swept over more than 160 acres of fine timber land and did damage estimated at $16,000. Only after a hectic battle of five hours were the volunteer fire fighters able to save their homes by backfiring. election should be assured by those who know him as honest, able, informed, and courageous. I understand that Allen does not hesitate to say that he is for OUR OWN harbor on the greatest possible scale. He is as "dry," as the law not only politically but personally as well. He is not "dry" simply because it IS the law, but because it OUGHT to be the law and he has helped make it the law. In the assembly he will not only maintain the present enforcement laws but favor every effort to make them so effective that even the police will have little to do—for the bootleggers will have sought more favorable locations." Mr. Varnum could not refrain from saying that he is highly gratified that Santa Ana has the opportunity to elect such a splendid citizen as Bert Dawson as supervisor to work with Perry Woodward for the best administration of the county affairs that it has ever had. TIMES' CAMPAIGN HAS FALLEN FLASH "The Los Angeles Times recently made the assertion," L. A. West, Santa Ana, president of the Orange-co Swing-for-Ogress club, "that Congressman Swing had little or nothing to with closing the border. That a statement in line with the campaign of misrepresentation carried on by the Times because of its self interest in the water of Colorado river. The Times systemate wants to take the waters to Mexican lands. Swing wants to keep it in the United States. "Swing has letters from chieftain representatives and others know the facts, showing that was responsible for closing border. At the time the close of the border looked to be a failure, the Times pooh-hooed ability of Congressman Swing was willing to credit Swing with the proposal while the prop seemed to be a failure, but that it is an achievement and great moral victory it tries to prove him of the credit due him." West said that the campaign misrepresentation in its efforts show that Imperial valley farmers are against the all-American canal has fallen flat. Swing while here, pointed out that civic organization, every American Legion post in the valley passed resolutions in favor of All-American canal.

DANCING MASTER GETS COMEBACK NEW YORK, Aug. 20—Dancing masters who expected to wiggle out of being blamed for the scrimmage effect of modern steps by blaming it on the way dance orchestras play, got their comeback today. It came from Ben Bernie, leader of an exclusive New York hotel orchestra, who has played in theaters from coast to coast. He took exception to statements of Edward S. Hurst of Atlanta, Ga., new attending the convention in Chicago of the Nat. Assn of Masters of Dancing, who said jazz music was so harpful to the nerves that sedate dancers could not control themselves or their jerking, jumping muscles. Bernie indignantly declared that jazz did the opposite. He said it had tonic qualities that came little short of making the blind 'see and the lame walk. "Jazz music," said Bernie, "is a tonic for young people. It unravels tangled nerves, frayed by the worrisome existence most of us lead. It tears down inhibitions to a certain extent and makes people act more natural. It gives them something of an outlet for the over-civilized state. We all as one time or another take on the New England conscience or demeanor. Jazz music losens the tension and makes us a bit gayer, happier, more free, if only for a brief space of time. "Take away jazz music from the young people and they will supplant it with something less wholesome and buoyant. We need DISLIKES SCHOOL, COMMITTS SUICIDE SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20—Instead of starting him to school today, parents of Donald Myatt, 16, prepared to bury him. "Folks: Well, I don't go to school," said a note. His parents had not taken his protests against returning to school seriously, they said, and had insisted that he re-enter Mission High school. Monday he was missing. Tuesday police were asked to search for him and today his body was found in the basement of his honte, a shotgun by his side revealing the manner in which he had taken his life and the note the cause. jazz, but we ought to take it in moderation."
