BIG LAUGH SHOW COMES TO UNITED Tonight marks the opening of the big indoor circus at the United Theatre, Harry Pfau's dog and Pony Show, those intelligent animals will be seen in Anaheim for the first time, direct from a tour of the big vaudeville circuits and those in attendance will have the pleasure of seeing these wonderful canine actors perform in an astonishing manner. Another added feature on this splendid bill is Billie Bell, who is unquestionably one of the best entertainers seen in this city in a long while, being a high class instrumentalist, he plays the banjo, musical glasses and produces many musical novelties. If you are looking for a high class entertainment don't miss this show. The feature picture is a thrill- Sees Japan as Aid To World Peace The possible prevention of any future world war rests on full cooperation between Japan, the United States and the rest of the English-speaking world, in the opinion of Dr. Alfred L. P. Dennis of Clark University, author of "The Foreign Policies of Soviet Russia," we gave his interpretation of the significance of the new Russo-Japanese treaty at a dinner in New York. "In the first place," said Dr. Dennis, "it is a very popular treaty in Japan, for it gives her the right to fisheries, to rich concessions and to trade. Whether she will ever realize these prospects in dealing with Soviet Russia is another matter. It is the desire of Japan to avoid the partition of China and by this Russian treaty forstall any possible increasing influence of Russia in China. The fact that Russia is also a Pacific power of immense possibilities and that eventually she may accede to the Four-Power treaty is perhaps in the minds of some Japanese. "I question, however, whether the facts would warrant Japan in assuming, if she does, that Russia, China and Japan can dictate to Asia. The treaty is hailed in Moscow as a freeing of Japan from Anglo-Sexon co-operation, but I am doubtful if that will turn out to be true. I believe that it is to the best interests of Japan that she should continue to be in full co-operation with the United States and with the English-speaking world, because if we give that co-operation we can possibly prevent any future world war."

U. S. attorney. Harris maintained Quadra was over 12 miles off shore from Paralone islands when captured with a $1,000,600 liquor cargo. The prosecution, thr Atty. Gillls, persisted vessel was less than six miles west of Paralones and subject to legal seizure. Late yesterday, after prosecution rested, when defense moved case be dismissed because Quadra was seized beyond three mile limit Judge Partridge promptly denied the plea.

CONNIE, MACK IS AFTER SHORTSTOP FORT MYERS, Pla., Mar 18 Show Connie Elongated Mack shortstop who can roam beyond confines of a thumb tack and he will show you balt club that will run one-two-three in American League race. That, at least was purport of few well chosen remarks from Corneilus today. He is intimated rather strongly that success or failure for Philadelphia Athletics of 1925 rested almost entirely with Clarence Galloway, regarded by some as cream of American League shortstops two years ago. Last season cream turned a bit cool. The young man, in fact, fared so badly many critics were pleased to look upon his earlier showing as mere gesture with neither permanence nor definite meaning. Jornelius, of course, hopes for the best. "Galloway looks need this spring," Mack declares today. "And I have come to regard his showing of last year as one of those things that happen to all ball players. If he comes thru I don't see how they can keep us out of third place at very least. I'll say this much: The team that wins the pennant will have to beat Yankees." Perhaps Connie believes he has the club in question. Certainly he has something highly gratifying. He usually has a harried look in his bleak grey eyes. Today he was genial as a Rotarian on vacation. He fairly beamed and all those close to ball clubs allege his glee is occasioned by fact he looks for Robert "Lefty" Groven, $100,000 pitcher, to add at least 20 victories to total compiled by staff already rated within bounds of adequacy. Cornellus, to cover purchase, has given notes to Jack Dunn, of Baltimore, that will keep ball club meeting payments 15 years. If this bit of Smallest State Has Giant Ruler CYPRESS C. OF C.

George Raymer, secretary of Pullerton C. of C., talked of C. of C. in general and of A. C. of C. in particular. Owen Wilson, principal of Cypress schools, spoke of educational activities, and Cuthbert Miller, of Cypress, a quarter of a century ago. He brought many thoughts of this thriving town thru comparison of the then and now. Program included singing "America" as opening number; Claire Barnett gave two readings; Mrs. L. Stillings piano solo and two readings. Five little girls sang and performed cute little song, "We're Walter Girls," and they were dressed to part in tiny caps and aprons. They were Anna Mae Browning, Margaret Inskeep, Marguerite Burgett, Wilma McClintock and Frieda Priddy. Miss Mae Priddy accompanied them on piano. Robert Jones, Buena Park, sang three numbers, which concluded entertainments. "GIFT NIGHT AT CALIF.

BUSINESS MEN LACK BACKGROUND NEEDED IN COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP" The statement that business men lack "an intelligent background" such as men in the professions must have and that therefore leadership in the community goes to professional men, was made recently in a paper by Wallace Donham, dean of Harvard School of Business Administration. Business must be prepared to take an increasingly important part in the leadership of community life." Dean Donham wrote. At the present time and in the past that leadership has undeniably been held by members of what we term the professions. Lawyers, doctors, teachers and engineers have been the ones who have been most interested in the social gratifying. He initially has a barried look in his bleak grey eyes. Today he was genial as a Rotarian on vacation. He fairly beamed and all those close to ball clubs allege his glee is occasioned by fact he looks for Robert. "Lefty" Groves, $100,000 pitcher, to add at least 20 victories to total compiled by staff already rated within bounds of adequacy. Cornellus, to cover purchase, has given notes to Jack Dunn, of Baltimore, that will keep bail club meeting payments 15 years. If this bit of luxury should prove a "Hop", Cornellus will have plenty of time in which to thorny grash incursors. He, however, expects to mastigate in moderation and grow old gracefully. "Groves is one of the greatest left handers I have looked at in years," he said. "He has terrific speed and what is unusual in left handers, great control. He will give me my first good pitching staff since days of Beider, Plank and Coombs. The rest of the staff will be Rommel, Harris, Heimach, Grey, Meeker, Baugartner and one or two others." "Outside of Rommel my pitchers lacked steadiness in other years. I think experience has taught them to overcome this drawback." DUNDEE SMOTHERS SEATTLE ASPIRANT SEATTLE, March 18.—Mike Dunede of Kock Island, Ill., gave boxinf lesson last night to "Doc Snell, local aspirant for national featherweight laurels. It was Dunede all way thru six rounds, Snell failing to land single solid blow and taking terrible beating. In semi-final, Danny Edwards, dusky bantam from Oakland, essayed comebreak against Benny Ferral of Manila. His long absence from ring has slowed him up, however, and Philipino got call. Spec Woods, of Portland, won unpopular decision over Pep Webster; Billy Quilter- and Al Gallagher drew and Red McCauloy won the decision in his go with Sam Cimiaella. SAILOR SWAMPS MEXICAN CHAMP LOS ANGELES, March 18.—In one of best heavyweight clashes ever witnessed here Sailor Eddie Huffman, won decision over Tony Fuente, so-called Mexican heavyweight boxing champion, at Doyle's arena last night. The fight was fast and furious one from opening bell and Huffman took nine of ten rounds. Fuente managed to get edge in the sixth. It was simply a case of Huffman carrying too many ounces for Fuente, who put up brilliant battle. Ernie Owens won semi-windup from Lew Rollinger in handy fashion. PLAN COAST H. S. CASABA TOURNEY SALEM; Ore., March 18.—A tournament to decide high school basketball championship of Pacific Coast appeared likely today with announcement school champions of various states had tentatively accepted dates of March 23, 24 and 25. Rupert High school, winner of Idaho title, is last champ to enter. Yakima High will represent Washington. Piedmont of Oakland represents California. Oregon winner is Salem. DINNER STORIES A visitor who was stopping at a hotel was much disturbed by the snoring of one of his friends sleeping in an adjoining room. Suddenly the snore ceased, and the death-like stillness oppressed the listener. He thought something had happened to his friend. He therefore went into his room and found the friend sitting up in bed. The friend said: "I was sleeping with my mouth open, and I thing I swallowed a mouse." The hotel doctor was sent for, who adopted the novel expedient of calling in the services of the hotel cat, and placed a piece of toasted cheese some little distance from the invalid's mouth, the theory being that the mouse, smelling the cheese, would come out to eat it, and would thereupon fall a prey to the cat, while the remedy was working, the doctor went downstairs to have a drink. The patient's mind being relieved, he fell asleep and resumed his snoring. When the doctor returned he missed the cat. He said "Great guns! He's swallowed the cat." A public dispensary patient was placed on a strict and scant diet, on which she did not improve as was expected. The doctor sent a social worker out to investigate. The patient admitted that she was much worse, but protested, almost tearfully, that she had eaten everything as the doctor ordered. "What else did you call?" asked the inspired social worker. "Nothing except my regular meals," said the truthful patient. A Class Ad will bring you results.
