Lodge made his statement in addressing the radio society of Great British of which body he is president. Vision, Lodge declared, is actually electrical radio action. He suggested that atoms throw off electrons which stimulate the nerves of the eyes, causing vision. CLIMB ABOVE CLOUDRO FOR OPEN BIG LODGE-IN ANA Odd, Fellows 53rd Annive Fitting M Marking the 53rd of the founding of which falls on Jan. Fellows on Tuesday their first regular n More Hit Sawdust Trail At Bulgin Tabernacle Last Evening A much larger tent was erected today in place of the big tent which has proven inadequate to contain the crowds attending the Bulgin revival services at Wilhelmina and Claudina-sts. A crew of 25 men was employed today to make the change in time for the services tonight. Parking space has proven a problem also. More vacant lots in vicinity have been loaned for this purpose, it was announced last night. Another great crowd was out last night. More responded to the invitation to "hit the sawdust trail," coming forward and grasping the evangelist by the hand, while great numbers raised their hands for prayers. Rev. V. K. Ledbeter, pastor of the Calvary Baptist church, responded to opposition of certain ministers and individuals thru a newspaper to the revival efforts, particularly the cottage prayer meetings. "There is not a demon in hell big enough to stop the power of prayer. I wish you could have been at one of these prayer meetings today. There were 22 present and not a dry eye as mothers prayed for erring sons and daughters and wives prayed for husbands. People's hearts are opening and we are going to have a wonderful revival. I am certain. "There is just as much truth to the assertion that politics has been discussed at these prayer meetings as the assertion that Leon Myers was at Newport Tuesday night when you all saw and heard him speak from this platform. "None of those opposing this revival are big enough to anger the members of the Butgin evangelistic party. Bulgin made a plea for people to stop their blicking and to love one another. "When you resort to slinging mud it shows your case is nearly lost. Whichever way the election goes Feb. 3 be big enough to accept the decree of the majority and stop your quarring. "I have been all over the United States and I have never seen a fighter city than Anahim with fine buildings, wide, clean, well-paved streets. You should be a happy people. The outside metings are proving very successful. After attracting a large and interested crowd to a meeting at 1 a.m. Tuesday in the plaza at Orange, Bulgin was approached by a large number with a request that he conduct a revival campaign there similar to NEW YORK, Jan. 22.—The government weather bureau added tension today to the universal interest in the eclipse of the sun Saturday by declining to forecast whether or not the sky will be clear for this great solar event. There will be, however, a "special eclipse forecast" issued Friday. But man, in his ingenuity set about months ago to defeat possible unfavorable weather conditions. The giant dirigible "Los Angeles" now at Lakehurst, N. J., will travel the aerial highways and make scientific observations and take photographs of the phenomenon. So too will twelve De Haviland army observation aeroplanes under the direction of Maj. Wm. N. Hensley, Jr., commandant at Mitchell Field, Long Island. The De Haviland planes will soar three miles above the earth if necessary, it was said. They will be equipped with numerous instruments for scientific and astronomical deduction and with cameras as well. From the ether; Maj. Hensley will send back to earth radio reports of the aeroplane eye view of the eclipse. This radio report will be relayed thru station W. J. Z. The most favored location to view the eclipse will be those in a pathway 70 miles wide, which begins roughly speaking, northwest of Duluth, Minn., and stretches eastward to New York City, New Haven, Conn., Newport, R. I. and on into the Atlantic ocean. New Haven, Conn., and its famous university, Yale, will be the mecca for astronomers and physicists, special trains will be run to New York for laymen and scientists of world wide fame already are there adjusting their sensitive instruments.

You should be a happy people. The outside metings are proving very successful. After attracting a large and interested crowd to a meeting at 1 a.m. Tuesday in the plaza at Orange, Bulgin was approached by a large number with a request that he conduct a revival campaign there similar to the one being held here. The meeting at Santa Ana yesterday morning also was largely attended. Today the evangelistic party went to the school auditorium at Buena Park. Tonight the evangelist will speak on "The philosophy of faith, or how much faith does it take to save a man." Friday evening his subject will be the "Unpardonable Sin." Saturday night he will address a meeting of men only, members of secret organizations especially being invited, on "The divinity of Christ, or the man of Galilee." There will be four great services Sunday—at 11 a.m., two at 3 p.m., and at 7:30 p.m. Mrs. J. S. Norvall, leading laywoman of the Baptist church, will address a meeting for women only at 3 p.m. Sunday at the First Christian church while Dr. Bulgin will address a meeting for men only at the tabernacle. In the preliminary service, Rev. J. Pike of the Moody Bible Institute, old schoolmate of Dr. Bulgin, and Rev. Alvin Carter led in prayer. Sarter and Gourley were warmly applauded when they sang two negro spirituals, "Swing Low Sweet Charlot," and "The Old Ship of Zion." Mrs. H. McFarland and Mrs. J. Pepperdine sang verses of "When the Veil is Lifted," the audience and choir joining in on the chorus. The sermon subject last night was "The Old Lean Cow, or Pharaoh's Dream." The text was from Genesis 41:20, "And, the seven lean kine came up out of the water and ate up the seven fat kine." The evangelist did not dwell long on the usual angle from which this text is approached, the calling of the wise men, their inability to tell the meaning of (Continued on Page Two) pathway 70 miles wide, which begins roughly speaking, northwest of Duluth, Minn., and stretches eastward to New York City, New Haven, Conn., Newport, R.

New Haven, Conn., and its famous university, Yale, will be the mecca for astronomers and physicists, special trains will be run to New York for laymen and scientists of world wide fame already are there adjusting their sensitive instruments. New Haven is the mecca because it will be directly in the full shadow of the eclipse and the scientists will have a maximum of two minutes in which to make their observations. Harvard and Princeton Universities, in co-operation, will attempt to fix the position of the moon at the time of the eclipse. The government has assigned a special aeroplane to make observations for Amherst College. There is in fact, hardly a university or scientific body of any importance in the world but what will take some part in the event. Scientists themselves do not know what to expect, new stars may be discovered; the Einstein theory of relativity may be definitely proven; the heat of the sun will be measured; photographs will be studied; radio instruments will be closely watched for potential reactions. The laymen will have their own highly interesting free show. The most important manifestation for the layman will be the approach of the eclipse. The apparent shadow of night will come toward him out of the west at a speed of sixty miles a second. It will be an eerie sensation. There will be an awesome stillness. If the layman is in the country he more than likely will hear rooers crow and dogs barking as at night. The layman looking skyward must beware, the astronomers warn of "sun blinkness" smoked glasses should be worn. The layman will see the most marvelous of solar pyrotechnics, the corona. He will see "prominences as the astronomers term them, shooting out from behind the moon. These "prominences" are flames of sun explosions and they rise in the air anywhere from 20,000 to 100,000 miles, some astronomers say 500,000 miles. Strange and as yet unexplained "shadow bands" about two inches wide, may appear on the earth. This will be the lair for people now living eclipse for the next year.

The encampment will hold its first meeting on Friday evening. The Rebekah Lodge used the new quarters for the first time last Friday. On Feb. 12 the three bodies will give a public reception and dance with some of the principal state offices present to address the throng of well wishers. Among the high officers expected are Past Grand Master Carl Brueck of Stockton Mrs. Steinman of Pasadena, State President of the Rebekahs, Grand Warden C. A. Palmer of Olive and possibly the Grand Patrish of the Grand Encampment. From the cellar, with its foundations capable of accommodating six more stories, to the lodge rooms on the third floor, which are leased to many other local bodies, the new building is a model of fine and substantial construction. The lodge room, which measures 50 by 74 feet with a 20-foot ceiling, is a new step in progress of construction of such rooms. It is lighted by ten hanging lamps, which comprise 50 separate globes of 6200 watt power, and a dozen ornamental wall lamps, while 12 double windows afford natural light. These windows, like three windows at one end of the room, consist of florentine glass. The X-ray lighting system is used. The ventilation, like that of all the rooms in the building, is done by means of vents in the floor, thru which fresh air is pumped, and vents in the ceiling where it emerges separate fans being used. The air can be completely changed in 12 minutes and the place thoroughly warmed in even less than that. Two hundred stationary upholstered seats are provided, while there is ample space for several times that number in addition. The trim of this room is southern gum. Spanish rope columns of solid gum is the feature of the decorations. A handsome dark green Wilton carpet covers the floor. Adjoining, outside, is a fireproof vault riveted to the framework of the structure, so that in case of fire the vault will not only withstand the hottest flames, but remain suspended even after the flooring has been burned away. Other second floor rooms are a Withdraw Challenge On Report of Plan For "Rough-house" A report today that members of the U. S. A. club and their pathisers planned to "rough-house" the rally of law enforcement advocates at the big Bulin tabernacle next Monday evening, resorting to tactics similar to those indulged in at Newport Beach Tuesday evening, prompted Mayor E. H. Metcalf today to withdraw his challenge to opponents to meet him in a public joint discussion of the baseless charges that have directed at the four dry councilmen. "My challenge has been open since Tuesday of last week, ten das ago," said the mayor today. "It has been apparent for several days that our opponents had not the slightest idea of accepting it in good faith. It is getting late for them to do so, even if they desired, as such a meeting would require certain arrangements, including agreement upon chairman, division of time and other regulation." "Reports coming to me today were that our opponents planned to attempt a coup at the last minute, claiming that they had finally decided to accept the challenge. This could only result in beckling and general unpleasantness. Therefore it seems best to withdraw the challenge." Instead, we will go ahead and hold our own meeting. If the U. S. A. club desires to hold a meeting it, of course, can hold its own when and where it pleases. There will be no heckling at the meeting next Monday night as there will be ample police protection. Everyone who wishes to hear a full and free discussion of the affair of the administration for nine months since our election last April may come without any fear of embarrassment." Answering the charge that a large part of the public had instituted a boycott on the Anaheim Beef Co., and that the company was planning to remove its plant to Vernon to save freight both ways since an increasing amount of its product goes back to Los Angeles, a prominent independent meat store proprietor asserted today: "The public has nothing whatever ever to do with the failure of the Anaheim Beef Co. to sell more of its products locally. The Anaheim Beef Co. is alone responsible for the plight in which it finds itself." The Anaheim Beef Co., when local butchers found it more advantageous to buy some of their meat from other provision companies, attempted to club the local dealers into line by instilling rebelism.

Girl Slayer Never Received Spanking SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22. Dorothy Ellingson, the child who killed for a dance, admitted today she had never been spanked. "I can't remember getting a spanking in all my life," the "jazz" girl said. "Mamma loved me too much. I guess and no matter what I did she never punished me. Perhaps if she had—but don't think I blame mother. It was all my fault." This will be the last opportunity for people now living to view an eclipse for the next 220 years. JURORS DISAGREE IN LIQUOR CASE JERSEY CITY, N. J., Jan. 22. Judge Charles M. Egan today dismissed the jury in the Hudeon-co liquor cases who heard the evidence in the case of ten police men and two civilians, when the jury reported at 10 o'clock this morning that it was hopelessly divided. The jurors had been out since 3:07 yesterday afternoon and appeared to be tired. Gentlemen, have you reached a verdict? The judge asked. Henry A. Lauenstein, the foreman, replied: "I am sorry to say judge, we have not—we were unable to reach a verdict." The men on trial charged with conspiracy to frustrate justice were: Wm. F. Griffin of Jersey City, alleged leader of the bootlegging "ring;" Harry J. Stearns, councilman and chairman of the police committee of Wehawken; Captain Chas, McNamee of the Hudson County Boulevard police; two police lieutenants and seven patrolmen. When the foreman said the jurors were "hopelessly disagreed" the judge said: "Under the circumstances and in view of your sincerity, I am compelled to discharge you from service during the balance of the term of this court." It was understood that the jury stood 9 to 3 for conviction when dismissed. The defendants in the main seemed to accept the disagreement as they would a verdict of acquittal.

The Johnson-Swing bill for development of the Colorado river irrigation project, was laid aside today by the house irrigation committee and extended hearings ordered on a similar measure by Rep.

Richardson today sent a special message to the legislature warning that "when the crash comes teachers who have been paying into the fund "will receive nothing whatever in return."
