PAGE TWO ANAHEIM CENTER CONDEMNS PITS There will be no more sand pits scattered among our farming lands if the members of the Anaheim Farm Center can prevent it. Action condemning the practice was taken at the recent center meeting and an active committee is seeking ways and means of stopping what they claim to be a nuisance, and in its stead substitute the practice of securing sand from the river beds. "By taking sand from the river bed instead of sand pits, we could kill two birds with one stone. We can clean the river and cut out these holes," stated T. F. Shea, president of the Anaheim Center in explaining the action. "The county is rapidly developing large industrial plants and the construction and operation of these plants will call for the use of more and more sand. This will mean more and more unsightly sand pits unless the river bed sand is used. "After the flood of a few years ago the people of this community were called upon to contribute large sums of money to build banks to keep the river in bounds. Now it is a well known fact that these banks must go higher and higher because of the continual deposit of sand. This, of course, means ultimate defeat in the attempt to keep the river in its old bed and finally the formation of a new river bed. "The deposit of this sand by the river has been considered a problem by engineers, but rightly handled it would seem that it ought to be regarded as a God-send inasmuch as it furnishes a continually replenished supply of building material." In speaking about the situation J. H. Hedges of Anaheim said: "In 1866 when I lived in Los Angeles the river bed was level with First and Seventh streets.

"The deposit of this sand by the river has been considered a problem by engineers, but rightly handled it would seem that it ought to be regarded as a God-send Inasmuch as it furnishes a continually replenished supply of building material." In speaking about the situation J. H. Hedges of Anaheim said: "In 1866 when I lived in Los Angeles the river bed was level with First and Seventh streets. When heavy rains came it caused floods, the water ran down First street, then down Alameda street and spread all over the town which was on a level with the riverbed. I think it was in 1885 the bad flood came. My friends told me there were several houses washed away and a lot of property destroyed. The council took notice then and gave the contractors permission to take sand from the bed of the river so as to lower it, now the river bed is about thirty feet deep and they have no fear of a flood, in fact they built storm water culverts to drain off the water from the streets into the river bed. "Orange-co. can do the same to the Santa Ana river. That would avoid floods and save the approaches to bridges (which the county has gone to the expense of building) and at the same time it would stop the county from being called a hole in the ground which will happen in the near future if they go on digging holes for sand much longer. The officials of the county could help a great deal by not letting contracts for road work and all other county improvements unless the sand is taken from the river bed. Orange-co. is a beautiful county and it is a shame a few should destroy the profile of the land when they can be doing some good by taking sand from the river bed."

HANOVER, Germany, Dec. 10 Edgar Allen Poe would have gloried in describing the scene of Haarmann's murders. I went there again today and came away wishing I had the genius to describe my emotions and all I saw. Haarmann lived at number 2 Role Rehe, which when translated means "red row" and whatever the origin of the title it most certainly deserves being called "red row," after being christened in human blood by Haarmann. "Red row" is in one of the darkest quarters of the city. The murder house bears all the car marks of the scene of dastardry. There is not a single corridor of the gloomy ing. Only gas jets flitting room of the tenants, all have been called as witty in whispers, recounting will say in court. One marvels when to these people that Haarmann came under their suspicious body in the whole hour mit ever having heard slightest evidence of gory deeds. I entered Frau Engel just as she was placing steaming spare ribs kraut in front of her h a man boarder. A little daughter was helping as she bused herself stove.

Dan Gilkey, capitalist, of Long Beach is featuring a plan which bids fair to do to the game of golf what Henry Ford did with the auto. Mr. Gilkey's plan is to put the game within reach of the average citizen who has an inclination to play, but has had to forego the pleasure owing to the high cost of golfing. Even as Henry Ford made it possible for the great majority to own autos, so Dan Gilkey is working to give golf to the man of moderate means. He has already earned for himself the appellation "The Henry Ford of Golf." "Golf," says Mr. Gilkey, "is a game over 500 years old, but not until the last few years has it gained a popular interest in America. During the past five years the phenomenal growth of golf in the United States has caused a demand for courses far ahead of the supply. From the Atlantic to the Pacific the great wave of enthusiasm for this game has swept everything before it. It is becoming a national institution. It is high time that the growing numbers of golf devotees be given an opportunity to enjoy the game without paying prohibitive prices.

During the past five years the phenomenal growth of golf in the United States has caused a demand for courses far ahead of the supply. From the Atlantic to the Pacific the great wave of enthusiasm for this game has swept everything before it. It is becoming a national institution. It is high time that the growing numbers of golf devotees be given an opportunity to enjoy the game without paying prohibitive prices. "Golf in past years has been considered by many to be an old man's game or the pastime of the idle rich. It is no longer considered in this light. Golf fans are being recruited from every walk of life—business, banking, professional and trades. The universities have taken up the game and even in our high schools and grammar schools we find a constantly growing interest." In furthering the plan for the lowering of the high cost of golfing, Mr. Gilkey has established a community country club in River-side-co., near Corona, to be known as the Parkridge Country club. Men and teams are now at work in the construction of the golf course which is being supervised by John Duncan Dunn, well-known golf architect. The course is to be of championship length and to have grass greens and fairways throutout, it is said. The club plans further provide for other diversions such as tennis, dancing, boating, etc. Plans for a $60,000 club house are being drawn. According to Mr. Gilkey the price and terms of the membership cost will be low enough to enable those or modest means to enjoy country club privileges. PROTEST PLAN TO COLLECT DAMAGES WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—A note from Great Britain protesting against the right of the United States to collect war damages out of the reparations payments which Germany makes under the operations of the Dawes plan was received by the state department today. Beyond admitting that the note had been received and that it will be answered, the state department declined to discuss the missive or to make it public. Still, many people who are not Nordics have that superior feel- of the scene of dastardly crimes, which revealed nothing new, I There is not a single light in any asked: "I understand Haarmann used to come down to this kitchen and use your pots an dpans." "Yes, he did," said Frau Engel simply. "You see that big pot on the stove? that is the one he always used when he cooked anything." It was a large black pot the very one in which Frau Engel had cooked the spare ribs and sauer kraut. With an unsteady glance she added quickly: "But we don't know what he cooked. Sometimes he gave us meat to eat which we were sure was horse meat." The husband then emphatically confirmed this opinion, declaring: "Yes, that wasn't human." The Engels asked me if I would not join them at their dinner. I glanced quickly toward the big jured. 100 AUTOS BURN DENVER, Dec. 10—One hundred automobiles were destroyed in a fire here today that resulted in damage estimated at $200,000 and for a time threatened to wipe out "Automobile Row" in Broadway.
