The Anaheim course will continue to be popular with the lack as there are no traps, bunkers, canyons or baganeas; and with male golfers who wish to perform their iron shots or who have a limited time for golf while new course will offer all that heavy swatter could desire. Walker will continue to conduct classes at the Anaheim courses give individual instruction after the new course is in operation, will divide his time between the two courses conducting regular classes at both courses.

STOCK SELLING MOVEMENT GROWS NEW YORK, Aug. 23.—Industrial and railroad stocks worked down to a lower price level in the short session of the stock market today as offerings continued to flood the market in extension of the selling movement which started in the last hour on Friday. Fractional losses at the opening of the market were gradually extended as the session proceeded, and only in exceptional cases, principally in the rails, were the market leaders able to stem the tide. At the end of the first hour stocks like American Can, Cast Iron Pipe, Baldwin, Atlantic Refining and New York Central were depressed about a point on the average, after which there were signs of another rally in the making. Industrial reports at the weekend and economic surveys by prominent authorities were available and sentiment in the market place was improved rather than depressed by the flurry in the stock market which concluded yesterday's active session. It was generally accepted as a corrective movement in a market that has been moving forward quite briskly of late. The money market is now being watched for additional signs of hardening, and while not depriving the stock market of necessary funds, such a development would be an evidence that the long heralded business revival is at last within hailing distance. Reactionary trends were also evident in the bond, grain and cotton markets tho in each of these declines were moderate and based on special influences. Cotton was hesitant on account of the proximity of the government's report at noon, the market closing fifteen minutes earlier in order to avoid confusion. The motor stocks were offered in large volume today and declines took place in stocks which were prominent in the last bull movement. Chandler sold today at 46 3-4 against 50 1-4 earlier in the week; Mack Truck at 99 3-4 showed a loss of about 6 points from Wednesday and White Motors at 62 was down 3 points. Coppers dropped some of their recent gains as stocks like Kenncott, Anaconda and Chile were pressed for sale and high priced industrials received further attention from the bears and profit taking long traders. Oil stocks were unusually passive, there being apparently few stocks in this group for sale at the present price level. Atlanti: Refining was active and fairly strong and Standard Oils showed a dispersion. DAWES SPEAKS AGAINST KLAN (Continued from Page One) a general breakdown in respect for law. "A thousand members of the Ku Klux Klan without disguise—they were brave men—marched to the office of the sheriff of Williamson county to protest against the lawlessness in that section. If a secret organization to uphold law and order is justifiable anywhere in our country, it was justifiable there. "But what happened? Immediately the lawless element formed the Knights of the Flaming Circle and then both sides were afraid to go out at night and a condition was created which actually culminated in civil war and the loss of life. And how, again, was peace established? By the only proper way in the sending of the militia of the state of Illinois to the scene of the trouble, as provided by law in such cases. The critical situation was settled without shedding a drop of blood and the troops was quickly removed. "When minority organizations—whatever high purpose they claim—take the law into their own hands, force rises to meet forces; lawlessness is to meet lawlessness and civilization comes in the disintegrate into the savagery from which thru the ages it has evolved. "App appeals to racial, religious or class prejudice by minority organizations are opposed to the welfare of all peaceful and civilized communities. Our constitution stands for religious freedom and tolerance. This happy country has never been thru a religious war such as those which devastated Europe and brot untold misery to its inhabitants, but to inject religious and racial issues into politics is contrary to the welfare of all the people and to the letter and spirit of the constitution of the United States." "Josiah Quiney was right when he said 'society is never more certain in the path of destruction than when it trusts itself to the guidance of secret societies.'" "I have told you why I am opposed to the klan. Take what I say into your hearts and consciences and think it over calmly. However, it may be with the mind, there is no acrimony in conscience."

He thinks his club has a good chance and that is all. "Our team is young," Cobb said today in an interview. "It is a club which has been put together only in the last three or four years. We have a strong organization but you know it takes a team collectively at its best to maintain a pennant winning pace. Youngsters who have not played long together are apt to become a bit distracted when the going gets hot." "I figure the Tigers will be stronger next year and may reach the zenith of their strength the following year. It is certain we have not reached our peak in this campaign." "I am intensely pleased at the showing we have made this year. I am not giving up the ghost in this fight for a pennant, but if the team does not win the pennant I will be well satisfied if we finish near the top."

"Alimony," a picture of the hectic whirl of modern metropolitan life, at the United Theatre, Sunday and Monday, strongly pictures the evils of present day modes of conduct. CLAIM FRENCH ORIGINAL AD. MEN PARIS, Aug. 23—American advertising men recently on a visit to the French capital were surprised to learn that the French, and not the English, are responsible for the first advertisement printed in a newspaper. That was on July 4, 1931, when the sixth number of the Gazette de France contained the following passage: "From St. Germain-en-Laye, July 2, 1631—The dry season has greatly increased the value of mineral waters, among which those of Forges are here in general use. Thirty years ago Mr. Martin, a great physician, made them vogue; the public approved them. Today M. Bonnard, the King's chief physician, has set them on the pinnacle of popularity which his great loyalty, skill and experience can give by recommending to His Majesty whatever deserves the honor, and the King and nearly all the Court are now drinking these waters daily as a precaution." Though written nearly 300 years ago, it is more than likely that this little advertisement helped to keep the water of Forges famous until the present day. BUILDING PERMITS J.

News of her entanglement has left the talk of Hollywood for months. Anyone can imagine the situation caused when Miss Terry turned from screening "The Arab" in Africa with Kada-Abdel-Dir in town. Everyone turned to look him over. Handsome he was, without doubt, with those finely chiseled features and the glowing color that make the Arab, when good-looking, superlatively decorative. His manner was disarming, on those who disapproved most be compelled to acknowledge it. Kada had irresistible charm who came to scoff were comedied to yield to his fascinating life, his laughing eyes, his acely manners. Kada has established himself in Hollywood, and shows no sign of returning to his nativeocco. Utterly lacking in self-consciousness, he goes about clad in his native costume—a white been, a flaming red cloak, baggy to trousers and shining black skirt. His only fault is a dangerous ousy. Not a man in Hollywood can even look at Miss Terry admiration—and it's almost impossible not to—without incurring the deadly emuity of Kada. That is, not a man except Rexram, who is Miss Terry's husband. Kada is their ward. The young Sheik is eight years old, and into those years he has added a life of as much adventure as a Jackie Cougan crocodile in Morocco, he was discovered by a French artist who used as a model for a cherub. A fashion astonishing beauty, he had been from a home of squalor, Hotel baths are used twice as often by transient guests as by permanent ones. Office employees wash regularly at lunch time, but not so regularly at the end of the day. Scrubwomen do not use much hot water. MISS TERRY promptly fell in love with the boy, and after he had been with her and "The Arab" company to Algiers and Tunisia were the exterior scenes were seen, she could not bear the sight of parting from him. Negotiations with the boy's guardian resulted in the transfer of guardianship to Miss Terrie. So Kada came back with them to the United States, and gave Hollywood a senator. Kada plays a small role in "The Ab," which is an adaptation of Star Selwyn's stage play. A fable, "A Trip to the Pole," Kinograms round out a very bill.

Ad for results. One old feature of Paul's short ring career to date has been that all his fighting has been done in or near New York. His recently scheduled fight with Hambone Kelley in Boston took him farther from home than any other scrap in which he had ever participated. Berlenbach's rise after he deserted the amateur rank in 1923 was meteoric. He made his prodbut on Oct. 4 against Jimmy Roberts and knocked him and nine others for a goal before meeting Delaney March 14. Delaney was chosen as another stepping stone for Paul but fooled the wise boys by knocking the aspiring youngster into dreamland in the fourth round. In his next fight, however, Paul showed that his courage hadn't been hurt by the k. o. He knocked Harry Krone, tough man that he is, into oblivion in the fourth round. Umpires, while calling balls and strikes day in and day out, see much baseball pass into history. Much of it is good—more punk, probably. They seldom discuss the things they see or opinions they form. Especially the opinions. The average umpire expresses his opinion and then spurns all efforts of players to reopen the case for discussion. But no one can say that the arbiters aren't human. The other day Art Nehf, veteran left-hander of the Giants, carried his arm to the mound and humbled the Chicago Cubs in masterly fashion. Most fans present admitted he pitched superb ball. They apprised him of the innings went by. After the game Umpire O'Day approached Nehf. Perhaps the pitcher wondered if he had erred during the game—had spoken a thoughtless word. Then O'Day set his mind at rest. "I just wanted to say that you never showed so much stuff as you did today, Art," said the veteran umps. Coming from a baseball judge of O'Day's caller that one sentence ought to go far with Nehf and bear some weight with the fans. It shows, too, that umpires can see the good as well as the bad in a ball player. Moses Selomon, Hebrew lad whom McGraw tried out last Do You Need Money?
