SOCIAL AND FRATERNAL
WED BY FORMER PASTOR; COUPLE TO RESIDE HERE
MISS Esther Lee, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Lee, of 574 South Los Angeles-st., and Mr. Herman Oelrich were married Sunday at 2:00 p.m. in Los Angeles, at the parsonage home of the Rev. and Mrs. J.H. Peters, former pastor of Grace Lutheran church now with a large Los Angeles Lutheran church, Rev. Peters officiating.
A wedding dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George P. Phillips, of Los Angeles who accompanied the young couple to their marriage, followed the service, and the return to Anaheim was made the same evening.

She has recently graduated from a school in beauty culture and plans to establish a place of business in that line at once. She wore a pretty dark blue satin dress with smart little panne velvet hat in the same color.
Mr. Oelrich came to Anaheim soon after the Lee family, all being former residents of Sidney, Ohio, and has been connected with the American Laundry. Their home will be with the Lees on So. Los Angeles-st, for a time, where they are receiving their many friends of the Lutheran congregation, of which both are active members.

BILLY WHISKERS
BY FRANCES TREGO MONTROSEY
You will remember that the moving picture men had just driven off to the studio with Billy in the limousine.
"I can tell you what, Dates, I am glad we got our goat back, for now we can go on with our play," said Mr. Siroel.
"Careful there, Burns, or you will ditch u! That was a close call you had passing that big truck," warned Mr. Strobel.
The smoke of the city and a few straggling buildings on the outskirts were appearing when they met a load of hay. Burns footed and footed his horn, but the man who was driving must have been deaf for he never turned out the least bit. Growing impatient, Burns decided to try to pass anyway. But as he got half way past the driver of the hay wagon turned his horses squarely in front of the machine which shut off their passage, and as the road was narrow and slippery, too, when the hay wagon hit the auto it made it skid and into the deep ditch it went.
They all clambered out as best they could and hurriedly trying Billy beside the road. Mr. Strobel and Mr. Dates went to help them stuff in right the car. But they found they could do nothing with the heavy machinery and Dates was about to walk to the nearest farm house for assistance when they saw a farmer coming down the road, so they waited until he came up to them. They asked if he would not be so kind as to hitch his horses to the car and drag it out of the ditch, and he consented. While they were all busily engaged in doing this, Billy was pulling and working at his halter, trying to get it untied. At last he pulled so hard that the stake to which no was tied gave way, though the halter did not, and down the road he ran, dragging stake and all with him. This was not at all comfortable as frequently the stake would catch on a root or wind around a tree and pull him back nearly breaking his neck. But this he had to stand or be recaptured.
"They will see me if I keep to the road. I must get through this fence somewhere and hide in the woods. But how I can jump with my wounded leg is more than I can tell. Perhaps I can find a board off the fence, or a hole to squeeze through."
He had no more than thought this when he spied a piece of the bank caved in under the fence where it started to go down a hill.
"Here is my chance!" he thought, and like a shot war off the road and through the hole under the fence. He came out of a soft clayey bank near a forest street.
(And whether he really got away or not will be told in tomorrow's story.)

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
Eleven women will sit next New Hampshire legislature.
A recent visitor in New en route from Europe to her far-off Patagonia, was B. De Valenzuela, owner of most southerly sheep ranch world.

A woman accompanied coffee was among the transports passengers arriving at New the other day. The women been a widow for 20 years; loyalty to her husband's life is such that she cannot be thought that they might be in separate graves. She thiever books a passage with proviso that she shall not lead at sea. She has to cry Atlantic a number of times year on business, and that is always placed in her cab.
I know not where we go notions That when we swallow potions All our ills will disappear Patent pellets are never When old Nature's laws heeded And we get fresh atmosphere.
Tailored Underthings Hold Popular Appeal
Tailored Underthings Hold Popular Appeal
The tailored underthings seem to appeal most strongly to the woman of today. On the left an orchid colored silk knitted step-in and vest; center, a comfortable, well-fitted step-in chemise fine glove silk; and right, snug pantelites of rose silk designed to foil winter's chill; all three developed on strictly tailored lines.
SAY CHAPLIN HAS 'MOTHER COMPLEX'
HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Nov. 25—Charlie Chaplin, famous comedian, reported today to be in Guaymas, Mexico, where he was to be married to Miss Lita Grey, his 18-year-old leading woman, has a "mother complex," according to his Hollywood friends.
"Charlie thinks more of a home and children than anything in the world," his friends declared.
It was pointed out that Chaplin's production, "The Kid," with his discovery, Jackie Googan, in the title role, showed his love and great understanding of children.
Chaplin was crushed by the death of Charles Spencer Chaplin, Jr., a son born to his wife, Mildred Harris, the well-known actress. Not long after his son died, the comedian and his wife came to the parting of the ways and Miss Harris obtained a divorce.
Club Chinese Dinner
Thirty-five members of the Business and Professional Women's club enjoyed the monthly evening meeting last night when a Chinese party was held at the home of Mrs. Helen Harden, president of the club. Many of the members came in Chinese costume, giving consistent and picturesque touch to the affair.
The Chinese dinner was served at 7 o'clock, the greater number seating themselves on the floor and hugely enjoyed the show mein and chop suey which composed the menu.
Little Helen Raische danced two numbers very cleverly with Mrs. Gladys Liewelyn at the piano. Stunts were presented by groups, many in costume. A popuar one was "half off," somewhat new, perhaps, but simple, nevertheless.
New members were introduced by Dr. Bessica Raische, parliator.
TROOP ONE SCOUTS BECOME VETERANS
Boy Scouts of Troop One were honored at the Father and Sons banquet last night, in being presented with a five-year veteran certificate. Mr. Whitaker, chairman of the troop host committee, was master of ceremonies. He caused upon Mr. V. Teaney, assistant county scout executive, to present the certificate to Mr. Webb, a member of the troop committee, who, in turn, gave it to the scout master, John E. McKim, who has served four years.
Mr. C. C. Smith, superintendent of Anaheim schools talked of the history of the troop and drew attention in particular to the standard maintained in the troop. He also complimented Mr. Kim in the service he has rendered as a scoutmaster.
After the dinner and other formal ceremonies the fathers and the sons adjourned to the scout room where stories of adventure and travel were told. Here C. C. Smith told a story which aroused much curiosity and with its close gave every boy a thrill.
The fathers were then asked to tell stories, all of them being most interesting, but the one by Mr. Alexander "capped the climax."
Hosts of the evening were the Messrs E. H. Metcalf, E. E. Smith, W. P. Webb, Jr., J. P. Probst. Fathers present were the Messrs C. C. Smith, Van Meter, Dulam Alexander, Morecraft, Landah,
Maas, Mills, Rose, Coats,
Tong,
LaMont Scott, P. Wa, Hart, Jensen, Neal, Bonney; Scoutmaster,
J. McKim; scout executive, V. E.
Teaney; assistant scoutmasters,
Wm. Reed, who served as chef,
and Paul Sloop and Randall Maas,
his assistants.
Club Play Coming On
"Good Night, Nurse," will be remembered a long time, and why?
It is a real comedy in three fast and clean. The cast is growing up splendidly in rehearsal and the situations in the play are many, sometimes hilarious.
The play is being sponsored by Business and Professional woman's club staged by Anaheim Immunity Players and surely will be attended by the elite of the community. Tickets are going old and by the date of presentation, Nov. 28, in the high school library, it is not likely there will be a seat unreserved.

A recent visitor in New York route from Europe to her home far-off Patagonia, was Mme. S. De Valenzuela, owner of the first southerly sheep ranch in the world. Possessed a fortune of out $12,000,000, Madre De Valenzuela gives her personal attention to a ranch comprising 20,000 square miles, grazing 2,000,000 sheep. She estimates her annual golf club at about 5,000,000 yards.
A woman accompanied by her fiancé was among the transatlantic passengers arriving at New York on other day. The woman has a widow for 20 years, and her quality to her husband's memory such that she cannot bear the thought that they might be buried separate graves. She therefore ever books a passage without the proviso that she shall not be buried at sea. She has to cross the Atlantic a number of times each year on business, and the coffin always placed in her cabin.
Know not, where we get such notions that when we swallow patent potions our illis will disappear patent pellets are never needed then old Nature's laws are heeded and we get fresh atmosphere.
POOR HEALTH EAR TO LOVE
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young man whose age is 22. I have been going with a very nice girl two months my junior. My folks certainly appreciate her for when I met her I was practically good-for-me—I admit I drank and gambled but she pleaded with me and after many promises I broke away from it all and led a clean life. She was very proud of me then. She often spoke of marriage and birth also. Then I was taken sick and was given orders to leave work and build up by rest. To my borrow my funds gave out and I tried to tell her to seek other pastimes and not rely so much on me. She insisted on taking me to shows now and then. This hurt me very much, but if I didn't go it hurt her very much. I have been keeping steady company with her for two years and four months. About a year and six months of this time I could not work. I know love each other and wish to marry. I have one week left to work and then I will be back near her. We are too lonely apart and she is willing that we start life together and both work and save because she is in constant fear I will go back to the old life, but I never will. I am gradually regaining my health but dread to ask the folks about my plans.
DOUBTFUL EDDIE.
You have not told me the nature of your sickness but it sounds very much like tuberculosis. If that is the case, regain your health before you consent to marriage. I am sure your doctor will agree with me in this. After marriage you cannot tell how long your wife will be able to work. There interesting, but the one by Mr. Alexander "capped the climax."
Hosts of the evening were the Messrs E. H. Metcalf, E. E. Smith, W. P. Webb Jr., J. P. Probst Fathers present were the Meers C. C.

Teaner; assistant scoutmasters, Wm Reed; who served as chef and Paul Sloop and Randall Maas his assistants.
The fathers of scouts who were unable to be present missed a rare treat.
LOCALS
H. Gatjens and Wm. Baink made a business trip to Los Angeles yesterday.
Mr. and Mrs. H. Gatjens and daughter returned from a two-day trip to San Diego and Juana.
HEART-HOME PROBLEMS
married woman 45 years of age and have two children. I work hard all day and even after super I am busy. I have very little time for outside pleasures and I am very lonely as my babies go to bed early and my husband never stays home with me except long enough to eat a hasty meal and then he is gone until midnight and sometimes later. He never talks with me except when necessary.
When I ask him where he goes at night he gets very angry at me and tells me it is none of my business and threats to leave me if I don't quit nagging him. I try not to make him angry, but I have begged him to be more of a companion to me. I guess it is no use. Would you advise me to get a divorce or let him ruin my life forever? He goes with other women, but never has time for my babies and me. Kindly tell me what to do.
HEART-BROKEN MOTHER.
A woman in your position has to consider the future of her children when she considers divorce. Would you be able to provide them with as good a home? Even if the court gave you alimony there would be great chance that it would not be sufficient to cover your needs. To beg your husband for his companionship will do no good. You will have to earn his regard by hard work, but work of a different kind than you have been doing. No man likes to feel and see his wife tied down with household tasks. When he gets home from work he wants his companionship and if she is kept busy with the supper dishes, putting the children to bed, left over ironing etc., he is very tired...
lonely apart and she is willing that we start life together and both work and save because she is in constant fear I will go back to the old life, but I never will. I am gradually regaining my health but dread to ask the folks about my plans. DOUBTFUL EDDIE.
You have not told me the nature of your sickness but it sounds very much like tuberculosis. If that is the case, regain your health before you consent to marriage. I am sure your doctor will agree with me in this. After marriage you cannot tell how long your wife will be able to work. There may be babies who will keep her at home. Besides considering the financial side of the matter you must remember that in order to give your babies a fair chance in life it will be necessary for you to be well. Bend all your efforts to complete recovery in health before marrying.
MORE ADVICE FOR SUE
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have had a great deal of experience in hair bobbing and I think you gave HEART-BROKEN SUE wrong advice. She and her parents want her hair bobbed, but her fliance seems to be afraid if she does she will become popular. Probably he is a little jealous. If he tells her what to do before they get married she will have a hard time with him afterward. If a man would really quit a girl over anything like that it is best she find out before the knot is tied. Almost every young girl has her hair bobbed. The ones that have not are thinking of Bobbing it. I bobbled one the other day who was at least 75. Why shouldn't SUE be as up-to-date as the other girls? But just because she is afraid her sweetheart will quit her she will have to wear her hair long. If I were SUE I would give the fellow a test. I would have my hair bobbed if I wanted it. He will think a good deal more of her in the long run; if she has a little spunk, SUE might just as well get in line. Bobbed hair has come to stay.
FEATHER-EDGE SHINGLER.
Your advice to SUE is excellent and very true. I can see that SUE would gain more by carrying her point than by keeping long hair merely to please the man she loves.
WIFE'S LOVE PROBLEM
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a them with as good a home? Even if the court gave you alimony there would be great chance that it would not be sufficient to cover your needs. To beg your husband for his companionship will do no good. You will have to earn his regard by hard work, but work of a different kind than you have been doing. No man likes to feel and see his wife tied down with household tasks. When he gets home from work he wants his companionship and if he is kept busy with the supper dishes, putting the children to bed, left over ironing, etc., he is very apt to go away for the evening. After he forms the habit of spending his evenings away from home, it is not an easy matter to regain his interest. Doubtless you have far more work than one woman ought to handle. On the other hand even your work could be cut so that you would have your evenings free. It would be better to clean less often, spend less time cooking, iron fewer articles, and teach the children to help more than to be so occupied that by the time you are free your husband will be out of the house.
Dr. A. B. Lewis, New York state commissioner of health, recently issued a warning to the public to beware of gas fumes. Among other things he said:
"Care in lighting gas stoves should be used at all times. Often people turn on the gas before they apply the match, with a resultant flaring-out when gas and flame meet. This not only increases the gas fumes, but there is danger of one's clothing catching fire. Many accidents have occurred in that way."
"There is always danger of asphyxiation from the exhaust of an automobile in a small closed garage. Before starting the engine a door or window of the garage should be opened. There have been a number of cases where people have been made sick by the fumes from the exhaust of an automobile. There have been no deaths from this cause, however."
"It is very unhealthy to sleep in a room after shutting off the gas unless there is thorough ventilation. Windows should be opened in all sleeping rooms. There is no danger from asphyxiation if insufficient fresh air is permitted to enter the room."
