BUSINESS GOOD SAYS PEPPERDINE George Pepperdine, president of the Western Auto Supply Co., four of whose 114 store are in Orange-co, was speaker Tuesday at the Kiwanis club's luncheon meeting. His speech was on "Confidence and Efficiency in Business." In an interview after the meeting Pepperdine spoke with enthusiasm of Anaheim. He declared that in the nine years since he first visited here, Anaheim had been "transformed from a small town to a city." "Business in Anaheim compares very favorably with that of other cities of the same size in So. Cali," he added. "Business here is considerably better than a year ago." Manager J. J. Hunt confirmed this declaring business in the Anaheim store was the best it had ever been. Discussing industrial expansion, Pepperdine, when asked whether So. Calif., didn't have a big field for development in utilizing to a fuller extent its agricultural products, answered in the affirmative, and instanced Orange-co beans, which might be canned and consumed here, he asserted, instead of being shipped East, canned and then brought back again. The Los Angeles C. of C. reported 600 new industries started in So. Calif., in 1924, said Pepperdine. In the South as a whole business is "firm and promising," said the chain store chief. The Western Auto Supply Co. is adding 20 to 30 stores annually to its chain, which began eight years ago with one store in the south. The Kiwanis Club yesterday observed the anniversary of its founding, which took place 10 years ago at Detroit. There was a big birthday cake from which D. G. Maltsby, Southern Pacific Agent took the winning piece. Former President Roscoe B. Young read a letter telling of a monument to be erected at Stanley Park, Vancouver, B.C., to the Woman Devotes • Life to Children Miss Jullette Sessions, of Columbus, O., has devoted her life to children, as teacher and member of Columbus board of education.

Lemon St. FIGHT ON ROADS COMING TO HEAD SACRAMENTO, Jan. 21.—The fight over high way construction in California was expected to come to a head today before the state legislature when the highway committee presented its report to Gov. Richardson. The report it was said, will recommend an increase in the gasoline tax, increased registration fees, increase in weight of truck fees and other methods of raising revenue for road building. Bitter fight over the recommendations of the committee was waged with E. E. East of Los Angeles and J. B. Gill of San Bernardino battling for early construction of highway's in Southern California. They asked that roads in the southland be classified as among the first construction work to be done. The question of classification of highways and the priority of them in the plan for construction has been a bone of contention in the committee. The chief differences have arisen out of demands of one group that southern California should take first consideration in the new work in its proposed completion of main trunks and laterals that will bring the southern tier of 13 counties directly into the main system of the state. On the other hand, there has been an urge from some of the committee that the program of specified roads under the original bond issues shall be given precedence and that after these are completed a division of the expenditures may be considered. Striking at "uncrupulous men who, under the guise of religion, are trafficking in liquor," Assemblyman Edgar C. Levey of San Francisco, announced today he will place a bill before the legislature regulating the use of sacramental wines in California. "Certain so-called rabbits, most of whom have never been properly or at all ordained," declared Levey in a statement. "have been deliberately violating the intent of the 'Its Flag Girdles the Globe' DR. S. PARKES CADMAN President Federal Council of Churches, whose Y. M. C. A. addresses on Sunday afternoons are heard by hundreds of thousands. THE radio has made millions of us familiar with the great. Probably more people know the voice of the Rev. Dr. S Parkes Cadman, president of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, than that of any other great spiritual leader of the time. His Sunday afternoon addresses before the Bedford Branch Y. M. C. A., Brooklyn, N. Y., are, according to an official of a national broadcasters' organization, "the most popular radio feature in the country." It was to a vast unseen audience as well as to a packed auditorium that Dr. Cadman spoke on his re- millions of Americans of every sort will be upraised and blessed by the outcomes of the conventions to which I refer." In a remarkable tribute to the Y. M. C. A. he said: "We are not to allow our sense of lasting obligation to this tremendous agency for brotherhood to be dulled by usage and familiarity. The home centers of the Y. M. C. A. are in nearly every town and city: its circumference sweeps around Europe, Asia, Africa and the major islands of the sens." "Its flag girdles the globe with a more spiritual meaning than that of any national ensign. It is the flag of Christ, white with His purity and red with His oblation." "TOO MANY EDUCATED CITIZENS STAND ALOOF FROM POLITICS." SAYS SEN. ATOR-ELECT According to Prof. Hiram Bingham of Yale, Republican governor-elect and senator-elect of Connecticut, the American people should no more expect a 365-day politician to seek advice from "distinguished citizens" than they would expect a college football coach to seek the advice of the university's champion chess player during a crucial game. That, in effect, was what he told members of the New England society, recently. His address was taken as a forecast of his attitude in the Senate as successor to the late Frank B. Brandegee. Prof. Bingham spoke on the duties of American citizens. He is known to be an opponent of individualistic development, an opponent of centralization in education, and an advocate of referendum on all future proposals of constitutional amendments. Champions Home Rule In a recent message to congress President Coolidge pointed out the dangers of seeking to escape from state responsibility by laying additional burdens on the central government," he said. "Shall we undermine the individuality and self-reliance of our citizenry by providing them with a paternalistic government, or shall we endeavor to follow in the footsteps of our forefathers and develop a self-reliant citizenry who ask no favors except the inalienable right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. "It has been pointed out by a distinguished historian that when there is a rising standard of comfort the wealthy and well-to-do, including professional men as well as financiers and merchants, are likely to be so much wrapped up in their private business or avocations as to have little time or thought for public affairs." Thus they place great powers in the hands of the minority of citizens, who, like Abraham Lincoln, are willing to take an active role in the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, than that of any other great spiritual leader of the time. His Sunday afternoon addresses before the Bedford Branch Y.M.C.A., Brooklyn, N.Y., are according to an official of a national broadcasters' organization, "the most popular radio feature in the country." It was to a vast unseen audience as well as to a packed auditorium that Dr. Cadman spoke on his return from his recent election as president of the largest church confederation. At the same time that the Federal Council of Churches had been meeting, the National Council of the Young Men's Christian Associations of the United States was in session. Dr. Cadman's address was based on the significance of these two great gatherings, of which he said: "It would be hard to find a more thoroughly equipped and effective body of delegated Americans In both of these notable groups some of the best qualities of our American religious life could be gauged. It produced them and they have reciprocated to its clear advantage. Now do I exaggerate in saying that fully the responsibilities of citizenship. A citizen without responsibility ceases to be a citizen and becomes a subject." Pneumonia weather is hot house weather.

Miller on a charge involving a 15-year-old girl of Santa Ana. He is in the county jail pending arraignment scheduled late today. Chris Chigaras left suicide notes in their home in an effort to frighten her, and on one occasion in Los Angeles threatened to kill her. Mrs. Gena Chigaras of Anaheim alleged in a suit for divorce she filed in the superior court at Santa Ana. Married at Riverside in 1921, the couple separated Jan. 12, according to her petition. As further ground for a decree, Mrs. Chigaras accused her husband of cursing her and of striking her, inflicting injury to her body. A lot in Anaheim and an auto, now community property, was asked decreed to Mrs. Chigaras. A suit to quiet title to 13 acres of land near Stanton, brought by Oliver S. Baker of Santa Ana against William F. Peltzke of Anaheim, was ordered submitted on briefs after Superior Judge P. C. Drumm had heard testimony on the matter in dispute. The city of Huntington Beach was facing a $7300 damage suit today, when Mrs. Hortense Vernon, who declared she stumbled and fell on a sidewalk that had buckled, filed an action in the superior court. Joining her in the action was her husband, Charles Vernon, who asks $2600, for "loss of her services" since the asserted accident, last Sunday. Mrs. Vernon asks $5000 for alleged permanent injuries to her spine and knees, and $300 for medical expenses. CHARGES HUSBAND HIDING CHILDREN After Mary and Hollis McPherson separated a few months ago their two children, aged 3 and 4, were left with a Mrs. Miller ILLICIT LOVERS IN SUICIDE PACT PEORIA, Ill., Jan. 21—A man and girl were dying here today, physicians say, victims of a love which was not countenanced by the girl's parents. "She wanted me to shoot her and then go away," says Fred W. Lichtenberger, 28, explaining the shots fired in his automobile as the approach of the girl's father put terror into her heart. The girl, Mary Eitenmiller, 20, has been able to volunteer no statement. Her death from two bullet wounds is expected momentarily. Lichtenberger, in a less serious condition, however, told the story of his love for Mary, of his desire to marry her, of her fear of taking the step because of the objections of her parents to the match and finally of her plea to her lover to kill her when she learned, he says, she was about to become a mother. The shooting, Lichtenberger said, followed two days and nights spent in his automobile. The second night, the car was parked in a field near the girl's home after they had run out of gas. Lichtenberger said, and the following morning they saw the girl's father approaching. The girl became terror-stricken and begged him to kill her, he said. She grabbed a gun which he had with him. Lichtenberger said, and threatened to shoot herself but he took it away from her and shot her once. "She told me to shoot her again," Lichtenberger told attendants at the hospital. "And I did. I closed my eyes. I couldn't look. I don't know where I shot her. Then I shot myself twice." Mary's father, frightened by the shots, returned home for aid, and returning, found Lichtenberger and his daughter unconscious in the car. DEATH MYSTERY NEW YORK, Jan. 21—A death mystery confronted police today in the body of a young woman. CHARGES HUSBAND HIDING CHILDREN After Mary and Hollee McPherson separated a few months ago their two children, aged 3 and 4, were left with a Mrs. Miller in Orange for keeping, the husband to pay $10 a week for their support, according to Mrs. McPherson's suit for divorce, on file in the superior court at Santa Ana, where the complaint accuses McPherson of obtaining custody of the children later and of creating them from their mother. McPherson appeared at the Miller home and said he wished to take the children for an auto ride, the suit alleges, adding that he failed to return with them. As grounds for a decree, Mrs. McPherson alleges non-support. She asks custody of the two tots.
