PAGE TWO LA FOLLETTE MASS MEETING THURS. The formal opening of the La Follette campaign in Orange-co. will be launched in Anaheim with a public luncheon at the new K. of P. Hall Thursday noon at which Rudolph Spreckles will be the guest of honor. Following the luncheon, which will be served by the Pyrhian Sisters, there will be a public address by Mr. Spreckles at 2:00 p.m. This is the only opportunity to hear Mr. Spreckles, who has consented to stop in Orange-co. on route to San Diego, where a monster La Follette meeting will be addressed by him that evening. Mr. Spreckles has been actively connected with good government movements in California for 20 years, it having been due to his efforts that the San Francisco graft prosecutions were prosecuted during the Abe Reuf regime. Mr. Spreckles is regional director for five states and a member of the National La Follette committee. The public is cordially invited. TRYING TO REOPEN ORANA FOR DANCES The subject of controversy several months ago, which dispute culminated in its lights being dimmed, the Orana boxing pavilion became an object in the lime-light again today when the board of supervisors at Santa Ana were scheduled to consider a petition asking that the lights again be allowed to burn at night, only that they be shaded and colored for dancers. Presenting the petition was Jacob D. Bryan of Huntington Beach. Presented at the clerk's office, it was turned over to the district attorney and sheriff for NEW SIX-WHEEL U. S.

K. on his breast and believed to have been tortured for days, an unidentified man, aged 38, believed to be Thomas Stolp of Cudahy, Wis., was found bound, gagged and blindfolded in a deserted cottage at Winthrop Harbor, Ill., today. Dying from thirst, starvation and the tortures which he endured, the man was taken to the Lake-co General hospital here, where, in moments of consciousness, he rises and shouts: "Damn you, burn me to death. If you want to, cut my throat and be done with it, but don't torture me any more." Incoherent murmurings lead police-to believe the man has a wife and three children at Cudahy and that he left that place about a week ago to visit his father-in-law in Detroit. It is believed he was kidnapped from there. From Detroit it is that he was thrown into a truck and hauled into Indiana. He could remember nothing further until the time when he found Paul Jenson, Winthrop Harbor policeman, bending over him in the cottage there. It was Jensen who found him. No effort to question the man has been made on account of his condition and no clue as to the possible motive for the attack has been learned.

ARMY TRUCK WILL TRY OUT BAKES ON FOUR REAR WHEELS IN SEPTEMBER BALTIMORE, Md., Aug. 30.—One of the interesting aspects of the maneuvers of the brigade of Marines from the Quantico base which are to be concluded with the refiguring of the battle of Antietam next month will be the tests to which the Marine Corps is putting a new Army six-wheel truck, which drives the brakes on four rear wheels in tandem axle assembly. Developed by the engineering section of the motor transport division of the United States army at Camp Holabird, in experiments and tests extending over a year, the Marine Corps now proposes to further demonstrate the results obtained in the army tests of the truck. Automotive engineers of the army who have conducted the six-wheel research and experiment work assert that the new vehicle can be stopped in one-half the distance of the four-wheel vehicles in use by the Quartermaster Corps; that it is capable of car- DISLIKES SCHOOL, BOY RUNS AWAY Declaring that he would rather run away and die than go to school, was the gist of a note left to his parents, K.r. and Mrs. E. A. Harker, 747 No. Lemon-st, by young Charles Harker. The boy is five feet two inches tall, weighs about 100 pounds, has bushy hair and dark blue eyes. He carries a scar on the bridge of his nose. When last seen he was wearing blue overalls without a bib, either grey or black and grey wool shirt and brown shoes. He also was wearing a leather belt with brass studs. The Harkers are grieved over his disappearance and anyone knowing of his whereabouts are requested to notify them at the above address or call 394-J. BURGLARS ENTER HARDWARE STORE The Dean Hardware store on No. Spadra-rd, Fullerton, was entered Saturday night or early Sunday morning and two safes jimmlied open, it was learned today. This is the second time in a few weeks that this store has been entered. Entry this time is thot to have been by means of a passkey. The burglars are said to have obtained only a few dollars. LONE BANDIT GETS $25,000 IN JEWELS CINCINNATI, Sept. 2.—In one of the boldest and cleverest daylight bolldups in Cincinnati records, a lone bandit obtained $25,000 in cash and jewelry today when he entered the Sterling Jewelry Store near the busiest corner in Cincinnati. BEGINS REGISTRATION Developed by the engineering section of the motor transport division of the United States army at Camp Holabird, in experiments and tests extending over a year, the Marine Corps now proposes to further demonstrate the results obtained in the army tests of the truck. Automotive engineers of the army who have conducted the six-wheel research and experiment work assert that the new vehicle can be stopped in one-half the distance of the four-wheel vehicles in use by the Quartermaster Corps; that it is capable of carrying greater loads, at a higher rate of speed, and with a road impact only 25 per cent of that of a four-wheel, solid tired truck of similar capacity and weight. Greater speed and braking capacity of the six-wheeler, say the army authorities, would in actual practice at least double the capacity of highways when using a train of vehicles of this type, as compared with a train of four-wheelers in general army use. More than 3000 Marines will take part in the maneuver, and a large truck train will be required to transport the mass of impediments. In this train will be the six-wheeler. The six-wheeler is capable of speeds as high as 45 miles an hour, and the manner in which load and road impact are distributed over the six wheels results in a corresponding increase in comfort and reduction in wear and tear on the vehicle. The pressure which the truck exerts upon the ronda is also so distributed that it is less than one-third that of similar four-wheel solid tired vehicles. Tire mileage obtained from the 38x9 inch pneumatic tires with which the truck is equipped is highly satisfactory, the army officials say. HOLD YOUTHS FOR CRASH FATALITIES CALDWELL, Idaho, Sept. 2. Carl Mountrie and Roy Tolliver are held in jail here today pending a coroner's inquest into an auto crash on the Parma-Nampa road Sunday which resulted in the death of three persons. The dead are: Mrs. Wiley Payne, 63; Mrs. Edward Stemper, 27, both of Parma, Idaho; William Demster, 40, of Emmett. Five other persons, riding in the car in which the three met their deaths, claim that the two boys deliberately slowed down directly in front of their car, causing the big car to strike it and overturn. The young men allege that they were forced to slow down their car suddenly when they encountered what they thought to be a live wire stretched across the road.

NOTES ABOUT WOMEN With women taking such a prominent part in the politics of NOTES ABOUT WOMEN With women taking such a prominent part in the politics of the country the question arises, should they use their feminine charms to persuade men to do their will or should they appeal to man's intellect only? Women who took part in the three recent national conventions certainly endeavored by appearance as well as brains to make a pleasing impression. Several prominent and charming women were recently interviewed on this subject and declared unanimously that while "vamping" in the vulgar sense should not be tolerated, "projecting your personality," using all your arts—dress, personal charm, etc., was perfectly permissible in a good cause. "Men vamp each other all the time," said Mrs. Dudley Field Malone, a member of the National Council of the National Woman's party. "Why is one man advanced over the heads of others with more ability? Because he has a more engaging personality. He is a good fellow. Men are the worst vamps in the world and they have been at it longer." Mrs. Mary Houdek of Lakeland, Minn., is 76 years old but she fishes for clams in the St. Craix river every day when it isn't too cold. Bution factories are her best customers for the shells. Occasionally she finds a pearl worth from $25 to $100, and once she found one that sold for $1000.
