MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1924 PICKELL ISSUES STATEMENT TODAY In a statement today Jack Pickell, former member of the state motorcycle squad assigned to Orange-co, declared that he did not offer to withdraw from membership in the Ku Klux Klan in order to secure a position as motorcycle officer for the city of Orange. Pickell said that he merely asked City Marshal Jemison of Orange if the city marshal too the position that he should withdraw. Pickell said today Jemison gave no answer. The following is Pickell's statement: "In Friday's Santa Ana Register appeared an article in which my name was used and with your permission I would like to make this matter just a little clearer to the public and my friends. It is true that I tried to get a position on the Orange police force and the question as to whether or not I was a member of the Klan was not denied by me and when it was asked of me if I would withdraw from the organization if I was given work brought forth a reply which has to some extent been misconstrued according to the article mentioned above. "Whether one may belong to an organization and that any part of his obligation to that organization may conflict with his duties as a citizen or an officer of the law is a question that if answered by me would be that any obligation I have taken makes me feel that I am more qualified for such a position but if it has come to the point that a man, in order to protect his family from want, in securing a position, must sever his connections with a society of men whose ideals are beyond reproach and whose obligations are to help aid and assist the law in all its branches then I truly feel that the officers of the law deserve but litter for their ingratitude. The Klan is not fighting any sect or creed and if a member finds it necessary Letters From the People Communications to this column should be limited to 150 words, and signed, altho signature will not be reproduced if that is the desire of the writer. Editor: Here are a few more questions and answers on Defense Day which may possibly answer some of the people who are asking. Q—How does this present plan differ from the system used in 1917? A—In 1917 our plans and their execution were co-incident Under the present system, we have the plans and specifications made, the architects drawing completed and a part of the foundation laid for our new structure of National Defense. In 1917, owing to lack of sufficient number of trained leaders, it was necessary to establish large training centers. Here the young men of the nation were assembled, separated from family and friends, and their training conducted under the most trying and difficult conditions. The present plan contemplates "local mobilization" where our citizen soldier will be mustered and trained in or near his home town. The community will know just what provision is being made for supplying food, clothing, shelter and medical care, and the unit commander will have the co-operation of the community in finding the best and most economical solution to these problems which differ in each locality. On "Defense Day" there will be an opportunity to "talk it over." Q—On what are these "local plans" based? A—On the Corps Area Mobilization Plans which, in turn, is based on the War Department Mobilization Plan. Q—By what authority are these plans made? A—By authority of Congress, as specifically directed in the National Defense Act of June 4, 1920. Q—Where does Congress get authority to pass such a National Defense Act? A—In the Preamble of the Constitution "National Defense" is given as one of the principal reasons for forming the federal government, and Congress, by the Constitution, is charged with the duty of making the necessary legislation to effectively carry out the provisions of the Constitution and specifically to "provide for the common defense." Q—What are the missions of the various components of our organized peace establishment? A—the regular army must provide the peace and war garrison of our foreign possessions, and must stand ready in case of internal disorders and other emergencies at home, but its paramount mission is to assist in organizing and training the civilian elements provided by the basic law. The National Guard is the component upon which we must depend in situations requiring immediate action beyond the very limited power of the small regulatory army. These two components form the first echelon of our National Defense. The Organized Reserve constitutes the final reliance against any formidable aggression. Its ranks are to be recruited from the great body of available men, who would respond to the call of service. This forms the second echelon of our National Defense. Each component has its mission and each has a relation and dependency upon the other—the three together forming the army of the United States. M. W. MARTENET, JR., Commander Anaheim Post No. 72, American Legion. have taken make me feel that I am more qualified for such a position but if it has come to the point that a man, in order to protect his family from want, in securing a position, must sever his connections with a society of men whose ideals are beyond reproach and whose obligations are to help aid and assist the law in all its branches then I truly feel that the officers of the law deserve but little for their ingratitude. The Klan is not fighting any sect or creed and if a member finds it necessary to withdraw his membership nothing could take from him the effects of righteous and upright teachings which should become a part of his daily life and for any mans to set aside such ideals and teachings in order to secure employment would disqualify him as an American citizen. "It's those who understand little and listen to weird, untrue stories who are apt to condemn a society of men banded together with an earnest endeavor to help all true Americans regardless of who or what they may be. "With kindness toward all and malice toward none I am yours truly."—JACK PICKELL." PICKWICK STAGE DEPOT WILL COST $100 000 Continued from page one tion of California's scenic charms, passing through the orchards of So. Calif., skimming the edge of the ocean for miles, dipping into wooded valleys and traversing the broad fruited valley of Santa Clara. Six de luxe through stages now cover this route at very convenient intervals throughout the day. In point of territory covered, the greatest stride of all was made in 1919, when Pickwick stages began to make daily trips to Portage, Ore., passing along the very base of towering Mount Shasta and quite close to smouldering Laspen. All the timbered grandeur of No. Calif. and Oregon is opened to the traveling public through this daylight trip. The Santa Ana lines through the rich fruit land and oil territory of Norwalk, Santa Fe Springs, Anaheim and Orange was purchased by the northern division in 1924. Santa Ana is now serviced by a half hour motor stage service. In 1912 the principal assets were represented by one rebuilt auto. Just by way of comparison, the assets of the Pickwick Corp., today are $2,377,822. The Pickwick Corp., owning the capital stock of both northern and southern divisions, was formed late in 1922. Immediate results of this incorporation were the acquisition of new lines, the building of finer terminals, the addition of modern improved motor coaches HEART AND HOME PROBLEMS ELIZABETH THOMPSON SHE'S TOO JOLLY Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am going with a boy and I like him real well, but when we go anywhere with any other couple he thinks I am too jolly. The other night we went to a show with another couple and before we went home we took a little ride. I was driving and not even sitting beside the other boy and I hardly said anything to him, but he got very angry at me. When I go anywhere I do not like to sit and act as if I were mad at every one but him. I think if he really liked me as he says he does he would not take it as he does. Would you advise me to give up all my friends or him? I hate to do either. PUZZLED. If you have to make a choice between the one boy or your other friends, choose your friends, because his jealousy is ridiculous. I think, however, you can keep his friendship and your independence if you insist on doing as you please. SUITOR TROUBLES Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl nearly 18. Some time ago I became acquainted with a young man two years my senior. I liked him very much and I know he liked me. He wanted me to go out with him, but this I did only once, for at that time I considered myself too young to associate with young men. The second time he wanted me to go I refused, saying I would soon be old enough. He has never been to see me since. I didn't realize at that time the extent of my feelings for him, but I do now. For a while I worried myself sick because he didn't come, trying to comfort myself by saying if he really cared for me he would come to see me. I have never lost faith that some day he will come. Is there no way in which I may ask him to come back? I am now going with a young man five years my senior. He is very nice and kind, but I cannot love him as I do the first boy. When I am alone with him I like him well enough, but in a crowd I feel ashamed. I am sure I should not feel this way, but hope he will come. Do not urge, and try not to show how much you care about his coming. If you are unhappy with the second young man and ashamed of him, I do not think you ought to accept his invitations. When he invites you places, say it will not be convenient to go. LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl in my teens. Recently I became acquainted with a young man and instantly fell in love with him and with me. He has very good habits. He does not smoke, drink, swear or do anything out of the way. He has asked me to marry him and I could not refuse. On the other hand, there is another young man whom I have known for two years. He asked me to marry him also, but since I have become acquainted with the other one, I do not think as much of the first one. I know I could never break my promise to the one I love. Please tell me what to tell the other young man. If a mother consented would a girl be able to get married at the age of seventeen? M.R.P. Tell the first young man that you love some one else. Although you have not said so, I can read between the lines that you find yourself engaged to both, having accepted the first when he proposed. If that is the case ask him to release you because you no longer care for him. I think you are too young to be so sure of your love and would not advise you to tie yourself to any one for at least a year. If your father is dead and your mother consents to your marriage, you could get a license. If both parents are living the consent of both would be required. TOO YOUNG Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am 16 and have been going with a fellow who is almost 19 for about a year. We go with a "bunch" of other young folk and we never go to public dances or such places. This fellow used to go around with another boy a lot but after he graduated the friendship broke up. In 1912 the principal assets were represented by one rebuilt auto. Just by way of comparison, the assets of the Pickwick Corp., today are $2,377,822. The Pickwick Corp., owning the capital stock of both northern and southern divisions, was formed late in 1922. Immediate results of this incorporation were the acquisition of new lines, the building of finer terminals, the addition of modern improved motor coaches and the smoother operation of the entire system. The Packard line to Bakersfield was purchased in 1924, bringing into the system a new and different route to Bakersfield and the San Joaquin Valley—by way of the desert garden, Antelope Valley, with but few mountain grades to pass. The very latest pickwick addition, the auto stage line from Bakersfield to Paso Robles, makes possible a trip to San Francisco via Majove, Babersfield, Paso Robles and San Jose, following the cool sea coast much of the way.

Girls! By WINNER MISS AMERICA IS BEAUTIFUL GIRL ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Sept. 8—Miss America of 1924, 18, year-old Ruth Malcolmson of Philadelphia, the new "most beautiful bathing girl," is a startling combination of athletic prowess and femininity. She runs the 50 yard dash in 6½ seconds with her long brown curls flying, plays any position on a baseball team, swims, and is an expert gymnast. She also sings soprao in her church choir. "I have no rules for beauty except plenty of exercise and going to sleep as early as possible," she said today. Miss America has sent the following telegram to President Coolidge: "The crown of honor of being Miss America was bestowed on me in the national beauty tour. Saturday night. To be worthy of this honor I will endeavor to live the principles and traditions of a real American life." Miss Malcolmson thinks the flapper type of girl is disappearing.
