UNITED THEATRE 306 EAST CENTER STREET TONIGHT AND TUESDAY THE MERRY-GO-ROUND GIRL The Rose Paris Starring MARY PHILBIN A Startling Story of Paris Underworld—a Rose Transplanted to the Very Heart of the Devil's Garden! SHE'LL STEAL YOUR HEART AWAY! —SPECIAL ADDED FEATURE— "BABY PEGGY" In Her Latest Comedy "The FLOWER GIRL" LADIES ONLY MATINEE — WEDNESDAY at 2 p.m. MISS ARLENE FRANCIS Will tell the ladies some inside secrets on "How to Become Beautiful" EXPERT GOLFERS WILL COME HERE George Duncan and Abe Mitchell, internationally known British professional golfers, are enroute to California where they are scheduled to play a number of exhibition matches against the best West can produce. This makes their third trip to America but their first to the Pacific Coast naturally, their coming is being eagerly awaited by thousands of golf enthusiasts up and down the Pacific Seaboard. The fame of both Duncan and Mitchell as being among the world's most brilliant golfers is known wherever the Royal & Ancient game is played and the enviable records the established during their two four mer sojourns in this country have marked them as the most brilliant and colorful team that ever crossed the seas. When in one of his brilliant moods George Duncan has no peer here or abroad. Bobby Jones, who played alone with him during the open championship at Skokie two years ago at that time declared that he never expected to live to see such extraordinary golf as was unfolded by Duncan from tee to green. Was his weak putting that prove his undoing. In addition to his spasmodic brilliance he is also conceded to be the fastest player that ever lived. His partner, Mitchell, is a different type of player. What he lacks in brilliance and quickness he fully makes up for in his extraordinary driving powers. He is called the "humane siege gun of professional golf" because to see him smite a ball much like watching a 16-inch naval gun doing its stuff. He can hit a ball farther than any living being. Mitchell simply pays no attention to dogleg holes no matter how severe the carry is. It truly is the Babe Ruth of golf. A 300 yard carry means nothing to his life. It has become an everyday occurrence with this fellow. SHE'LL STEAL YOUR HEART AWAY! —SPECIAL ADDED FEATURE— "BABY PEGGY" In Her Latest Comedy "The FLOWER GIRL" LADIES ONLY MATINEE — WEDNESDAY at 2 p.m. MISS ARLENE FRANCIS Will tell the ladies some inside secrets on "How to Become Beautiful" AT THE UNITED THEATER Scene from "The Rose of Paris" Universal Jewel Starring Mary Philbin SAME OLD GANG BACKING TICKET The U. S. A. club, which has the support of all the bootlegging element of the community, announces as its candidates in the recall effort against the four dry councilmen, the following: Perry Mathis, rancher; Louis Miller, former hardware store clerk; Wm. Grafton, proprietor Anaheim Feed & Fuel Co., and Wm. Franzen, building contractor. It was pointed out today by astute political observers that whereas the claim would be made for the four men that they were "reasonably dry" they were being backed by identically the same forces which last spring attempted to re-elect Wm. Stark and other recognized "liberal" candidates. "No group of men would ever go into office more completely tied and bound than would these, should they be elected." declared one observer today. "The bootleggers, of course will vote for them to a man, as they are disgusted with the law enforcement policy of the present council." "What assurance do we have that two or more of them would not resign, if they were elected, and their places be taken immediately by Stark and others of the old political machine thru appointment?" "Rev. J. A. Geissinger, chief spokesman for the U. S. A. club and warm advocate of former boss Bill Stark, has conceded that the only hope for the ticket is from the 'wet vote.'" "G. J. Stock, the other candidate of the U. S. A. club, is of course an avowed 'wet' and has opposed consistently efforts of the four dry councilmen to enforce the prohibition laws." SPORTS DONE BROWN BY NORMAN E. BROWN One of these days Jack Dempsey is going to be flattened for the long count and a new champion set up in his place. Dempsey being a very able-bodied, sure fisted young man at the present time, over a number of second raters during Jeff's period of idleness. Johnson, who clinched the championship by beating Jeffries at Reno, dates the beginning of his service in the ring at 1890. What he lacks in brilliance and quickness he fully makes up for in his extraordinary driving powers. He is called the "human siege gun of professional golf," because to see him smite a ball much like watching a 16-inch naval gun doing its stuff. He can hit a ball farther than any living being. Mitchell simply pays attention to dogleg holes, no matter how severe the carry is. He truly is the Babe Ruth of golf. A 300 yard carry means nothing to his life. It has become an everyday occurrence with this fellow with wrists of steel. Duncan and Mitchell will arrive in Los Angeles about Christmas Day and during their stay they will take part in the California State Open Championship at San Francisco. They will play at the Hacienda Country club, La Habra, Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 7th at 1:30 against Harry Pressler, professional of the Hacienda Country club and Chas. Guest, one of California's youngest golfers. NEW YORK ENJOYS BUSY BOXING WEEK NEW YORK, Dec. 15.—A busy week in boxing will be terminal Friday with the first world championship bout held in New York ring the current latter season of the occasion. Abe Goldstein, best tamweight champion, will defend his title against Eddie Cannou ball Martin, the Brooklyn contender. Martin is granted better than an even chance to win by the crises. The week's activities will be augmented tonight when Charlott Weinert, recent conqueror of Fargo, will meet Jack Sharkey, Bon Ton heavyweight, in Newark and Tony Vacarrelli will take on La Paulso, Salt Lake featherweight at the Lenox Sports club. Wednesday, the Garden ring will see Joe Clivant attempt to get revenge from Mike Fehara of Chicago known as the little Firepoo. Farrara won on a questionable knot out the last time out, many claiming the blow was foul. STUDY WINDBREAKS The U. S. Weather Bureau said representatives by authoritative speakers at one of the most important field tours held under auspices of the Agricultural Insurance Service and the Farm Bureau during today. Accorded to H. E. Wahlberg, county cultural agent, an educational task was being arranged to observe affects of windbreak protection during the recent desert win. The tour had been scheduled afford an opportunity to see actual conditions in the fields connection with good windbreak management and soil moisture practice. Dozens of requests have been received during the last days concerning the efficiency SPORTS DONE BROWN BY NORMAN E BROWN One of these days Jack Dempsey is going to be flattened for the long count and a new champion set up in his place. Dempsey being a very able-bodied, sure fisted young man at the present time, when we seek to visualize the man who ultimately will wrest the title from him, we are prone to picture some raw youth now tolling in a mine, a shop or on a farm ignorant, as yet, of the destiny which awaits him. As a matter of fact—and this particular fact has its basis in the record books—the man who will beat Dempsey is fighting today. Moreover, it is a two to one shot, according to the book, he was fighting when Dempsey battered Willard into submission at Toledo. So says an eastern sport scribe, who continues. The book contains the following information for the compiler of dope: John L. Sullivan won the heavyweight championship from Paddy Ryan in 1892 and held it for ten years, when he was beaten by James J. Corbett. Now Corbett did not embark upon his ring career until 1885, three years after Sullivan won the title but with the exception of Willard, who was a product of a peculiar situation in boxing. Corbett was the only man to win the championship who was not fighting at the time the championship was won by the man he defeated. Corbett last to Bob Fitzsimmons in 1897 and Fitz's record reveals he first boxed professionally when he took part in a tournament in 1880, that it was not until 1899 that he may be said to have begun to follow the game for a living. At any rate this later date preceded Corbett's winning of the title by three years. Fitzsimmons, in turn, lost to James J. Jeffries in 1899 and the book shows the conqueror of Lanky Bob took up the business of fighting in 1896, when Corbett's reign still had a full year to go. Jeff retired in 1904, but came out of retirement in 1910, to meet Jack Johnson, who had beaten Tommy Burns, elimination of the title as a result of his victories over a number of second raters during Jeff's period of idleness. Johnson, who clinched the championship by beating Jeffries at Reno, dates the beginning of his service in the ring to 1899, the year in which Jeff first knocked out Fitzsimmons. Then Willard loomed on the scene. Willard, a farmer and horse trader in Kansas, was one of the horde which flocked to the ring in response to a call for a white man to beat Johnson, who had made himself obnoxious to followers of the game, and his first appearance within the rope was not until 1911, a year after Johnson had reached the top of the heap. Winning the title in 1915, Willard surrendered in 1919 to Dempsey, who had begun to fight the same year Willard toped the negro in Havana. Encouragement for Contenders Which brings us down to the present. The leading contenders for the heavyweight championship at this writing are Harry Willis, Tom Gibbons and Jack Renant, with outside chances accorded for the sake of argument to Luis Angel Firpo, who already has had one crack it it, and Ermin Spalla. If these men seek encouragement in their quest they must get it from their records. Willis began to fight in 1911, Gibbons in 1913, Spalla in 1918 and Firpo and Renait in 1919—either before or in the same year that Dempsey scaled the heights. It may be that one of the younger heavyweights around the country—Tony Fuente, for instance—will become the next champion, but as the foregoing illustrates, the dope is against them. Whether or not the dope proves to be good in this case, it illustrates clearly one point; that it takes a man of considerable experience in a rough school to win the title. When gripe meets grippe, doctors follow. Another dry subject is house heating. So often the finished after dinner speaker should be before. In one of Dickens' stories is an anecdote concerning men, who were about to be hanged at a public execution. They were already on the scale in preparation for the supper moment, a bull being led to a ket broke loose and ran amou thru the great crowd assembly witness the hanging. One of the condemned men the seafair turned to his felicitation and remarked: "I say, mate, it's a good thing we're not in that crowd." Goggles invented by a Mary scientist to protect the eye workers from intense light heat are made of yellow glassing a thin plating of gold. A Glass Ad is best little raise...

The kiddies who are taking part in this, of which there are over 50, are all from Anaheim and Orange-co and are pupils of Miss Claire Coutant of Los Angeles, who conducts a school in dancing here every Thursday. The costumes worn by these little artists are all being made especially for this revue and with the special scenery it will create a fervor among lovers of beauty. Miss Coutant herself is a dancer of great note. She has appeared in a number of big film productions, prominent among which are "The Ten Commandments" and "The Spanish Dance." She is a pupil of Theodore Kosloff and the Dennishawns of Los Angeles. CULVER CITY HAS FASTEST SPEEDWAY Culver City has the fastest speedway in the world. That was shown yesterday when Benny Hill competed the 250-mile race in 1 hour 58 minutes and 18 3-5 seconds. The former record, held by Miont, was 117.7 miles an hour max.

Calif. track teams will meet here next spring, local university officials announced today. The date has not been set. BODE WILL SPEAK The first of a series of talks by business and professional men will be delivered tonight before the Orange County Central Labor Council by Rex A. G. H. Bode, pastor of St. Michael's church. His topic will be "The Past and Picture of the Organized Tuber Movement." AT THE CALIFORNIA TONIGHT Harold Goodwin, Milton Sills and Nagimova in "Madonna off the Streets" played the greatest game of the year against Notre Dame, they say, and a man who can do that once will do it again. McGinley of Pennsylvania, a remarkably fast man on the charge great tackler and far faster than his enda down field, is the second best in a really fine field. Pondelik of Chicago and Diehl of Dartmouth were the big factors in the success of their respective teams, altho their work was the sort that failed to catch the eye of the crowd. Horrell of California; Lovejoy, Yale; Ecksein, Brown, Johnson, Pittsburgh; Walsh, Notre Dame, and Garbusch, West Point, stood out as centers with almost equal brilliance. Horrell was the most consistent, however. The backfield needs little elaboration. Grange was the greatest back of the generation, Crowley and Layden almost indispensable and Stuhldreher easily the best quarterback of the year. The writer saw him make several mistakes but they were of minor significance. He was the best quarterback on a game to game analysis. In the same connection, it was said that Baker of Northwestern outplayed the Horsemen individually, when they met. But it is the writer's idea that he didn't do so over a complete campaign and that is what an all American team stands for. In passing, it might be remarked that many players are unmentioned with regret and a vague wept at the heroine's hardness. And then after the question, it came about the Philbin found herself a Critic at least before the camel "The Rose of Paris," is ella story in great part there is no glass slippin' pumpkin coach, and she proved the fairy godmother actuated by selfishness and any desire to ameliorate ditions that surrounded ella.

The railroad stocks were the first to put the way to higher levels of a number of stocks in this group featured in sensational ad-cesses in prices. Not in ten years has Atchison sold at to-morrow's record price of 120 1-8; central of New Jersey at 270 Baltimore and Ohio above 80, ordered the highest price since 1917. Great Northern, New Ha-nd and a score of well known is enjoyed an active market generally at advances from Thursday's closing levels. Good buying of copper, equip-ment, sugar and even the oils revealed the comparatively all floating supply of many stocks in these groups and prices moved forward at a brisk rate. Pools in Worthington Pump, Logie Steel and other industrial and specialty stocks, dis-eyed them to the best advan-ce and price gains in some of those stocks exceeded 3 points. Bulls in the oil stocks pointed the enormous increase in the current resumption of oil projects and the prevailing belief that the next move in prices would be upward. Gen. Elec. was the outstanding leader in the high priced indus-rial group. In unusually active trade, the stock pushed up to 4½, a gain of 8½ points and new high since 1902; Castiron gained nearly 8 points and up to 144.

Is castor oil a good lubricant? Answer Yes, castor oil is a good lubricant, but is not a commercially practicable one. During the war a great many rotary axi-tion motors were used. This type of engine had its gasoline vapor intake in the crankcase, the gases being transferred to the cylinder head by special passage in the same manner that a two-cycle stationery engine operates. Due to the fact that the gasoline was taken in through the crankcase, it was necessary to have a lubricating oil that would not be diluted or thinned down by the fuels.

Thirty-three players no more represent the entire backfield of stars than rites represent thumb tacks. good lubricant, but is not a commercially practicable one. During the war a great many rotary axiation motors were used. This type of engine had its gasoline vapor intake in the crankcase, the gases being transferred to the cylinder head by special passage in the same manner that a two-cycle stationery engine operates. Due to the fact that the gasoline was taken in through the crankcase, it was necessary to have a lubricating oil that would not be diluted or thinned down by the fuels. This is one of the important properties of castor oil—it will not mix with gasoline. Consequently, it is very valuable as a lubricant for a rotary type of engine. Castor oil has certain shortcomings which render its use commercially impracticable. The principal one of these is its cost to manufacture, and more important than this, the deposits which it will leave in cylinders of an internal combustion engine. Aviation motors and racinog car motors are overhauled at frequent intervals, so that the deposits from this oil may be removed at the same time. A commercial vehicle, which would not be overhauled except at long intervals, would be badly carbonized by the use of this oil. Question: What is the best lubricant for a disc type of clutch? Answer: There are two common types of disc clutch, tread plate type and the other type, which operates in a bath of oil. The correct lubricant for the latter type is a very light, pale colored oil, similar to light motor oil. The dry plate type requires no lubricant on the plates, as its name implies. Both types of clutch have provision for lubricating in the thrust collar and thrust bearings. This is usually done by hand oiling and care should be taken that these parts be frequently lubricated. Question: What is the best method for lubricating the rear axles of my car? Answer: The rear axles are generally lubricated from the differential housing. In this case, the differential lubricant flows along the axles thru the rear housing and to the wheel bearings. The lubricant in the bearings is built-in by felt washers. Occasionally leakage results due to the holdening of the oil in these washers. It is important, there- Madonna of the Streets," Edwin Carewe's latest picture featuring Nazimova and Milton Sills, opened yesterday at the California Theatre, where it will be shown today and Tuesday. The picture is the first the famous Russian actress has appeared since she deserted the cinema for vaudeville and the legitimate stage two years ago. "Madonna of the Streets," a story of London, is taken from "The Ragged Messenger," by W. B. Maxwell, an English author of worldwide popularity. The book has been acclaimed as one of the most notable literary products of the modern school of English authors, and the scenario is the best that Nazimova has ever chosen. The picture is not only interesting in itself because of its story interest, but it allows both Nazimova and Sills to show their best acting ability. Nazimova is cast in the role of the friend of a Fifth-ave millionaire, who cut off in his will when he leaves his vast fortune to John Morton of London, sets out to make Morton pay the ungrateful millionaire's debt to her. Morton played by Sills, receives the fortune and begins to give it away among the poor of Limchouse. The former friend marries the clergyman and objects to his using the fortune in this manner when she believes she is entitled to some consideration. How it all works out is told in a tremendously powerful manner which finds Nazimova registering with more dramatic effect than in anything she has ever achieved before. Lloyd Hamilton appears in one of the funniest comedies ever shown on the California screen and the capacity crowds last night shook the walls of the theatre with their laughter.
