THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1924 NAVY TO PROBE PLANE DISASTER SAN DIEGO, Dec. 11.—A naval board of inquiry was expected to be appointed today by Capt. Stanford E. Moses, commander of the air craft squadrons of the battle fleet to investigate the crash of a navy seaplane of the H-16 type here yesterday which resulted in the death of three officers and two enlisted men and seriously injured three others. The dead: Lieut. G. Varini, pilot of the ill-fated plane, survived by a widow in Pensacola, Fla., body found. Lieut. K. H. Roby, assistant pilot, widow lives here, body not yet found. Lieut. A. P. Thurston, assistant pilot, survived by mother in East Orange, N.J., body not recovered. P. C. Cruell, aviation machinist's mate, widow resides here, body found. B.

Varial attempted to make a right turn while going 85 miles an hour and traveling at an altitude of about 1200 feet, when the plane was half a mile off point Loma.

CASE WASHINGTON, Dec. 11—Demand that the U.S. treasury take action in the California community property case was made today by Sen. Shortridge, Rep. of Calif. After a conference with Atty. Ben. Stone, Shortridge declared with Secy. of the Treasury Mellon that he would arrange a meeting in whose hands the community property case now rests. Sen. Shortridge said that he understood the attorney general had ruled in favor of the taxpayers of California thus entitling them to refunds of approximately $33, 000,000 on taxes paid from 1918 to 1924. "Assuming the attorney general has ruled that husband and wife in California have the legal right to make joint income tax returns it is up to the treasury department to execute the law by making the refunds due to taxyers," Shortridge declared. The California case originally was decided for the taxpayers by former Atty. Gen. Daugherty and preparations were made by the treasury to pay the refunds. Atty. Ben. Stone, however, withdrew the Daugherty opinion for future condideration. Stone sent his ruling on the case to Secy. Mellon some time ago. The treasury, however, insisted that there were other points to be cleared up and has not made the decision public. The treasury still contended toway that the government must go nowly, pointing out that refunds might be made, only to find later that such refunds are illegal. It was that possible that the treasry would refuse to make refunds, thus putting it up to California expayers to institute federal court proceedings to collect. In each case the matter eventually could come to the supreme court or judicial interpretation. STOPPERS TUESDAY. Mr. and Mrs. John Page and Mrs. James Watson and Mrs. E.

Cole of this village, who has no immediate desire for the friendship of a healthy cow. While driving near the David Love farm one brown-eyed, sleek, haired bossy, bored by the dire monotony of rural life, leaped on the radiator of his automobile. "Come, let us fly or flee," she "mooed." But Cole "mooed" right back and bovine, thinking better of her hasty proposition. Alld over the other side of the machine.

STRAUS, President American Society for Thrift.) We have reached the final month of the year. We are approaching another 12 months period. It is a good time to take stock. What has the past year meant for you in the way of success or failure? What are you going to make of yourself during the year that lies just ahead? If you have been living beyond your means, now is a good time to pull yourself together and start on a new basis of spending less than you earn. Byron said: "The best prophet of the future is the past." If, during the past you have failed to get ahead and make provision for possible days of adversity, you can expect nothing but continued misspent time and neglected opportunities unless you make radical changes in your methods of living. Some of the happiest people in the world are those who, having made their mistakes, have learned at last the value of prudent habits. They have found that no form of pleasure offers the substantial joy that comes with the realization that one's routine of life is well ordered and that each day means something saved and something gained. The man who starts next year with a definite resolution to save money and get ahead will find that before he is far along in 1935 these fixed habits will accomplish far more for him than he ever dreamed could be the case. If the old year and the ones preceding it have brought only failure and disappointment to you, do not be discouraged. Let all the unpleasant memories of the past be buried with the years that have gone. Let this new year, so rich in opportunities, bring a firm resolve to pull yourself out of the old rut of thrifty ways. Make of it a portal to the temple of success. In this endeavor your very first step must be a firm resolution to practice thrift.

HOW CHINESE CITY WIDENS STREETS SHANGHAI, China, Dec. 11—Several months of propaganda work by the Chinese Red Cross. Young Men's Club and missionary organizations to have the city of Fowchow, in Szechuan province, widen the ancient streets proved woefully unsuccessful recently, and the workers were on the verge of abandoning their efforts. One night fire broke out in a temple, and within a few hours several of the principal streets were in ruins. Renewed vigor on the part of the "City Beautiful" workers has since resulted in the construction of new buildings a few feet farther back, so that the streets, once impossible to navigate without fighting your way through on foot can now be negotiated in a rikisha. SCHOOLS CLOSED DEC. 16 to JAN. 5 As a result of the decision of R. P. Mitchell, county superintendent of schools that there will be no county teachers' institute this year, Orange-co teachers will have to go to Los Angeles for their annual institute.
