I would have been glad if we had been able to carry on our policy, which I believe was for the promotion of the commonwealth. "It is a question of dissolution we will discuss first." A demonstration marked his departure from the palace after three-quarters of an hour in conference with the king. Crowds cheered the premier as he drove back to Downing street. The streets along the way were crowded by this time. Clynes later told the annual labor conference, now in session: "We were unable to get fair treatment from commons last night, but we are getting it from the throne today, in authority for the dissolution of parliament.

Opposition newspapers had urged that the king deny "the right of a minority to force dissolution of parliament." According to present plans, parliament will be prorogued Oct. 20, nominations will be made Oct. 29 and the election held Nov. 8. The election falls at an unfavorable time for the Labor party. Unemployment is mounting. The cost of living has ascended in the nine months of labor rule. Last night's deafest was the eleventh suffered by Premier MacDonald. He followed the adverse vote by the immediate suggestion of adjournment. "Pussyfoot" Johnson, about to sail for Europe, replied to a New York reporter who offered to buy him a drink: "I am not worrying over prohibition enforcement, son. Why worry? A man once rang Russell Sage's door bell in the middle of the night. Russell hopped up in his big white nightshirt and put his head out of the window. "'What's wanted?' he said. 'Mr. Sage,' said the man, 'I can't sleep. 'What's that to me?' growled Russell, shivering as the night wind whisked about his bare, lean legs. 'That note falls due tomorrow, Mr. Sage— 'I know it does,' snapped Russell. 'And I want to tell you, sir, I can't sleep because I won't be able to meet it.' 'Go to the dickens,' roared Russell Sage. 'Now I can't sleep, either.' The young are particularly susceptible to diseases that lurk in the vicinity of insanitary camps. For that reason recreation camps for boys and girls should be permanent, supplied with sanitary sewage disposal systems and with limited water of known purity." THE PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIF.

FRIDAY - SATURDAY "Sinners in Silk," a Metro Goldwyn picture, will come to the California Theater, Friday and Saturday. This picture is described as something new in the way of jazz stories. It contains not only the younger set getting older, but also the older set getting younger. The rejuvenation theory of Dr. Steinach, the famous Viennese specialist, is the foundation of the plot. In the picture an elderly man, not far from death's door, takes the treatment and enters the world of pleasure in which the younger set of today is surrounded. The role of the roue of other days who becomes a jazz enthusiast of the present is played by Adolphe Menjou, whose characterizations have become a by-word for suvity, finish and humor. According to all advance reports, he has his biggest opportunity yet in "Sinners in Silk." Eleanor Boardman, who has come to the fore rapidly of late in roles depicting the typical American girl, is the heroine. Conrad Nagel, whose last success was the leading male role in "Tess, of the D'Urbervilles," is the young man WEEKLY REVIEW OF OIL INDUSTRY Something of a surprise was created in oil circles yesterday with the Pac. Oil Co.'s announcement that it would offset the Standard Oil Co. at Inglewood. The Standard Oil Company's Los Angeles Investment well No. 1-1 drilled to 2134 feet continues on the pump at a 150 bbl and seems to be the only evidence of production in the much prospected Inglewood district. The Standard's Los Angeles Extension has passed the 5990 mark, the Los Angeles Investment 1-2 is 4015 feet deep, the Farrel well is 5400 feet and the otter-Smith No. 1 down 4400. None of these wells have shown any indications of production so far. A lot of disappointment reigns at Rosecans. The General Petroleum's new producer Vaghn No.1 at 4752 feet came in a respectable oil well doing 1100 barrels of 35 gravity oil cutting 15 per cent. After 24 hours on production the well turned out water. POTHIER DEFEND WINS MAJOR POINT TACOMA, Oct. 9.—The in the trial of Sergeant Bunk land Pothler charged with murder of Maj.

According to all advance reports, he has his biggest opportunity yet in "Sinners in Silk." Eleanor Boardman, who has come to the fore rapidly of late in roles depicting the typical American girl, is the herdine. Conrad Nagel, whose last success was the leading male role in "Tess, of the D'Urbervilles," is the young man who falls in love with the filtruous Penelope Stevens—(Miss Boardman). Others in the long cast include Hedda Hopper, Jean Herasholt, Edward Connelly, John Patrick, Miss du Pont, Virginia Lee Corbin, Bradley Ward, Dorothy Dwan, Frank Elliott, Ann Luthery Peggy Elinor, Eugenie Gilbert, Mary Aitken and Estelle Clark. The action of "Sinners in Silk" takes place in and around New York, among the haunts of the so-called smart set. The elderly man who years for a return to youth's excitement. Merrill, is tempted to undergo a rejuvenation treatment by a physician friend, a disciple of Dr. Sleighn. Friday night is gift night and there are many valuable gifts to be given away.

COURTHOUSE NEWS Articles of incorporation for Shipkey and Pearson, gasoline service station at Anaheim, were on file today; capital stock $25,000; directors, H. B. and A. C. Pearson, A. H. and Catherine Shipkey and C. F. Leonard, all of Anaheim. Owen Handy, 83, who died at Yorba Linda Sept. 11, left an estate valued at $10,000. It was shown in a petition to probate the will, filed by a son, J. H. Handy. A daughter Celind J. Conley of Yorba Linda, and three sons, Joel Harry and Robert, all of Orange, were listed as heirs. Ada K. Marshall, widow of the late J. R. Marshall of Fullerton, who died Sept. 25, filed a petition asking for letters of administration. The estate value was given as $9000. A son and a daughter, both of whom live in Missouri, are the only other heirs. An estate valued at $25,000 was left by the late Hiram P. Hendricks of Anaheim, according to a joint application for letters of administration asked of the superior court by Al Cheek, Carl Martin and Mel Casey. Mr. Hendricks district has been awarded by the Los Angeles Extension has passed the 5990 mark, the Los Angeles Investment 1-2 is 4015 feet deep, the Farrel well is 5400 feet and the otter-Smith No. 1 down 4400. None of these wells have shown any indications of production so far. A lot of disappointment reigns at Rosecrans. The General Petroleum's new producer Vaghan No.1 at 4752 feet came in a respectable oil well doing 1100 barrels of 35 gravity oil cutting 15 per cent. After 24 hours on production the well turned to water. The water carries a little salt and the problem now is to locate and shut off this water. In the extreme northwest area of the field the Dabney-Delaney Oil Co. has forged ahead of the Sentinel's test well and is now making hole below the 5100 mark. To date neither the Sentinel at 4050 nor the Dabney-Delaney at 5150 was shown anything that looks like production. C. C. Julian with two wells a little south and east of the Sentinel-Delaney tests has shut down and will await field developments. The Julian Corp. appears has spent considerable money in the Rosecrans district and will halt operations until the field warrants further continuation of drilling and development work. In the central west section of the Rosecrans wield attention is called to the nion Oil Co.'s Trust No.1. The Trust well has passed the 5100 mark without finding anything and Union Oil officials are beginning to wonder a bit about the location. This well is not far from the original Potter well and should have picked up the sand at 5000 feet. With the addition of the Shell Company's big well at Reyes No.11 a 5000 barrel initial producer, now settled to 4374 barrels the Domingues field took a new place in production of the Los Angeles Basin. From 30,000 barrels the production has increased to better than 34,000 bbls. The production of Domingues will get immediate and further increases is evidenced by the fact that the United-Henderson has started another well, the Marland Oil Co. has three underway drilling, and the Associated Oil Co. has five wells drilling on the DeFrancis. The Globe Petroleum Co. has decided that the Domingues structure does not extend to east Compton and has abandoned the Valencinto well after making a little over 2000 feet of hole. A ray of hope for deep sand production was cast over the Redondo section of the Torrance field last week with the findings of the Chanalor-Canfield Midway Oil Company on its Francis No.1. At 5229 a substantial showing of oil sand makes the well appear like it will make something. A string of 8-1-4 was set a few weeks ago at 5170 and the act excited some attention as it was thought the Chanalor-Canfield... is staying on this lease them to spend the week-end. and Mrs. Bert Weick and spent Sunday at Tustin Mr. Weick's sister and fam. and Mrs. Stone.

E., Billig and Mrs. Billig of 1210 East Ninth-st., Long Beach, formerly of Anaheim, narrowly escaped death Sunday while on their way to Kernan to attend funeral services of Mrs. B. H. Fisher, wife of Mrs. Billig's cousin, when their machine skidded, turned around, and crashed down a 350-foot embankment near the National Forest Inn, Murphy Cut, on the Ridge Route. Hurting over rocks and plunging through thick brush the Billig machine did not turn over. Mrs. Billig was badly bruised. She came home with friends. And was offered by the Southern California Auto Club and Long Beach motor parties. Fully 250 machines stopped and offered aid. A Mexican had stopped on the route to change tires. Two cars ahead of the Billig machine skidded and blocked the road. Mr. Billig endeavored to stop his automobile, but the machine skidded and turning around, went hurtling down the embankment. SMALL BOYS HELD A small Mexican boy was picked up this morning by Marcus Andrade on the charge of petty larceny. He is said to have been trying to steal some tools out of an electricians wagon in front of the local telephone office. Andrade later picked up some other Mexican youths on charges of stealing old wheels. It is said that the youths may be turned over to the probation officer. The Laura J. Oil Co.'s subsidiary of the Jameson Interests has decided to try out the central Domita section of the field for a deep sand. The Laura J., has 4400 feet of hole and to-date has had some showings but nothing particularly strong. Long Beach pulled up and made a good production showing last week. The Shell Company is credited with the major increase of the field with an 1800 barrel well on the Nea property and a 700 barrel well at Hutton. The big well was drilled to 4735 and Hutton 2 went to 5000. Both are making 23 gravity oil. The Davis-Lacmillan Oil Corp.'s long and successful development campaign at Long Beach with a 700 barrel producer a No. 9. No. 9 was completed at 4857 feet and is making a 23 gravity product. Hunting Beach continues to keep on the development map and is now featuring east side development. The General Petroleum Corp.'s started a new well on the Dabney property, the Pan-American a new well on the Johnston lease, and the Union Drilling and Petroleum Co.'s taken over the well and holdings of the Golden Dome Oil Co.'s Dome has good possibilities and no doubt the Union Drilling Co.'s will make something out of the Golden Dome well.
