TUESDAY, MARCH 31, 1925 THE CONTEST TO LINE UP C. C. MEMBERS Beginning tomorrow, a friendly contest will be waged between four luncheon clubs in enlisting members in the Anaheim C. of C., the latter announced today in a letter from A. E. Hargrove. Hargrove is chairman of the Greater Anaheim committee. April 1 opens a new quarter. At the end of the quarter a new copilation of the members of each club will be made and a suitable memento awarded the winner. Another project of the C. of C. is the creation of a life underwriters' division of the chamber. "A great many people from other states, and a surprising number of local folk, drop into our office to inquire where to find the agent of certain life insurance companies," states Hargrove. "There are something like 24 people in Anaheim licensed to represent life companies, and of these 10 are actively associated with the C. of C." Secy. Geo. W. Reid is arranging to create a Life Underwriters' Division and invites agents to make use of this division as freely as they will. He will keep for ready reference the list of agents, and if the agents themselves will co-operate with him a little bit, he will be glad to keep on file data relative to the kind of insurance they write and other information that will be of great benefit to the insuring public as well as to the agents interested. He will be glad to give this data to anyone desiring it. M. Roy Easton, district manager of the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Co., is chairman of a special committee in charge of the life underwriters' division. Every life insurance agent is cordially invited to become affiliated with this division and to help make it one of real service to the community, as life insurance is said to be a service rather than a commodity. Mr. Easton Lead Fight for Sinclair in Trial of Government's Teapot Dome Suit This is the galaxy of legal talent assembled by Harry P. Sinclair to fight the government's Teapot Dome suit in the federal court at Cheyenne, Wyco. They are seen leaving the courtroom. Left to right: John W. Lacey of Cheyenne, Martin W. Littleton of New York City, chief counsel, and George P. Hoover of Washington, D.C., Sinclair's personal counsel.

WON'T RESORT TO FORCE OF ARMS Following is an authoritative analysis of the German elections by Ferdinand C. M. Jahn of the United Press Staff. Mr. Jahn was a member of the Berlin staff for a number of years before coming to this country and is thoroughly informed on German political affairs. By FERDINAND C. M. JAHN United Press-Staff Correspondent. NEW YORK, March 31—The German people will not seek to cancel the Versailles treaty by force of arms nor does it want to restore the Hohenzollerns to their throne. The nation has shown by Sunday's elections that Germany desires the maintenance of the Republican Weimar constitution and is satisfied to continue to seek by peaceful means a revision of such peace stimulations as she regards unbearable. Faselam is dead in Germany—filed by the Dawes plan, the operation of which has within a few months brought about spectacular progress in the nation's economic condition. General Ludendorff preaching the war of revenge against France, barely obtained one percent of the votes cast. Nations and Folks party combined—the Junkers, industrialists and big business men—based by probably two thirds of the nation's wealth, obtained but little more than a third of the votes. The liberal parties—Centrists, Democrats, Socialists—did not present a united front at the first polls, principally because Socialist leaders were afraid of Communists charges of "betraying the interests of the Proletariat" by accepting a Bourgeois candidate. On the other hand Centrist and Democratic leaders might have had difficulty in explaining to their more conservative followers the acceptance of a Socialist candidate. For the final campaign, however, they must unite with Republicanism in German has abdicated. The Solialists probably will demand to furnish the candidate, which on the face of the returns, HILL SPEED NOW IN LEGISLATURE (Continued from First Page) Inman calling upon the district attorneys of the several counties to enforce the alien land act. The committee on agriculture considered the measure. Today's files in both houses were crowded with matters of interest. In the upper house Senator Arthur Breed's bill apportioning the highways of the state into primary and secondary systems was up for consideration. A measure by Senator E. H. Christian of Hayward, regulating the practice of Optometry in the state was set as a special order for 11:20 a.m. today and a number of individual road bills were expected to be taken up. It was believed another attempt would be made today to amend Breed's road bill to place the San Francisco to San Jose bay shore highway in the primary system. Reapportionment, as proposed by Assemblyman H. L. Heisinger of Selma, was to occupy the time in the lower house during today's session unless the author of the constitutional amendment proposing a repeal of the poll tax was another matter of special interest that seemed probable to come up for action during the day. One of the most debated and spirited contests seen in the assembly so far this session was precipitated yesterday over a bill by Assemblywoman Eleanor Miller. The measure would have permitted children to be excused from school from one to three hours weekly for religious instruction. It was defeated 41 to 23, after more than three and one half hours of debate. The Los Angeles-Long Beach port unification bill was among the measures on file for consideration today. Delay in the engrossment of the measure caused its postponement yesterday.

As a whole, the April election is expected to reiterate what was made clear yesterday, that the nation is as little inclined toward Communism as toward Fascism. FARMER FLOGGED Okemah, Okla., March 31 — Four of his neighbors were in jail here today charged with the abduction and flogging of S.A. Lewellyn, 36, a former, near here. It was the second time he has been the victim of floggers. Lewellyn said he had been warned to sell his farm and leave the community. He is reported to have testified several weeks ago at a court of inquiry investigating liquor law violations. HOUSEHOLD HINTS I MENU HINT Breakfast Baked Prunes Brown Rice with Cream French Toast Apple Butter Coffee Luncheon Vegetable Soup Pear and Nut Salad Presto Cake Milk or Tea Dinner Omelet with Nuts Baked Potatoets Cabbage and Apple Salad Steamed Presto Cake with Chocolate Sauce Tea or Coffee TODAY'S RECIPES Vegetable Soup—Purchase 10 cents worth of soup greens at the vegetable store. This includes about two carrots, some celery, turnip, a leek or two and some parsley. Put all these with the addition of two potatoes, through the food chopper, cover with cold water, season with salt and pepper and simmer for at least two hours. The soup should be rather thick—if it is too thin the flavor is not as rich. On the second day the soup may be varied by adding a can of tomato soup, consomme—in fact, any kind blends well with it. Presto Cake—Put one cup of granulated sugar, one-half teaspoon salt, one and one-half cups flour, two teaspoons baking powder into mixing bowl. Melt one tablespoon butter in a measuring cup or in cooking oil. Put one egg in cup with fat, fill cup with milk, stir around and add to dry ingredients.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS I Cooking in a casserole dish is an excellent method of cookery — slow but sure in retaining all the flavor and goodness of the food. It is also an economical way of cooking, and an oven dinner leaves the top of the stove for the cookery of vegetables and coffee. If a pottery or glazed dish is used, it must be carefully taken care that it does not chip or crack. To this end never set it on the stove or in the oven without its having water or fat inside. Never set it down on a metal surface hot, or it is apt to crack and the contents be lost. Sudden changes of temperature are a menace to the hot dish. The metal casserole dishes do not require as much consideration. DRY SHOES SLOWLY Wet shoes dried before the fire or on a steam radiator are almost sure to be injured. And good leather will be damaged just as much as the poor. Very few people realize how extremely sensitive leather is to heat. The best pair of shoes in the world will 'go right through' when worn out in all kinds of weather, in spring rains and mud, in melting snows and in sloppy streets, if the wearer is careless about drying them properly afterwards. It is important to know that perhaps of all things, heat harms wet leather the most. This applies to all leather, but most particularly to sole leather, and to the vegetable tanned "uppern" of shoes. Wet leather will stand, with out damage, a heat greater than 120 degrees Fahrenheit, or about what the hand will bear. Dine late and mourn early. A bed on the porch beats two in the hall. On the second day the soup may be varied by adding a can of tomato soup, consomme—in fact, any kind blends well with it. Presto Cake—Put one cup of granulated sugar, one-half tea-poon salt, one and one-half cups flour, two teaspoons baking powder into mixing bowl. Melt one tablespoon butter in a measuring cup or in cooking oil. Put one egg in cup with fat, fill cup with milk, stir around and add to dry ingredients. Beat well add any desired flavoring, and bake. Nice in loaf, cup cakes or layers. This cake may be used warm for lunch, and for dinner it may be steamed in the double boiler and served with chocolate or other preferred sauce. Chocolate sauce is made with one cup sugar, a little salt, one tablespoon cornstarch or flour, a teaspoon butter and one cup boiling water. Mix and cook until thick and smooth. Butter may be omitted and a little vanilla substituted. An inexperienced cook should always cook a thick sauce like this in a double boiler mixing the ingredients in the order given and not putting them on the fire until all are in. Omelet with Nuts—Make a cream sauce with a tablespoon of butter, two tablespoons flour, and three-quarters cup of milk poured in slowly. Take from fire, season, add three-fourths of a cup o fany kind of nuts ground up, and pour the mixture on the lightly beaten yolks of three eggs. Fold in the stiffly beaten whites, pour into a hot buttered baking dish and bake twenty minutes in a moderate oven.

Withholds Reward 23 Years GRAND JURY WILL PROBE CULTISTS OROVILLE, Mar. 31—Mrs. Anna Rhodes, "roaring lion of the House of Judah," will be arraigned with her husband to morrow on a charge of criminal assault on Herman Schalow, who died after burns inflicted in a religious ceremony. The grand jury will be summoned to further investigate the cult death case, according to Dist. Atty. Wm. E. Rothe. The jury probe will be extended to ceremonies and rites of the Pentecostal church, membership in an offshoot of which was held by Schalow and the Rhodes. Insurance investigators announced they will contest the $2,000 policy taken on Schalow's life a few weeks before his death basing the contest on the claim of Mrs. Rhodes that Schalow willingly submitted to the branding ceremony. This consent, insurance men say, amounted to suicide and invalidates the policy within a year of issuance. Residents of Biggs and Gridley are behind the grand jury probe of the Pentecostal church ceremonies. Rothe indicated. Alto the Rhodes and Schalow families had withdrawn from that cult to form a new one of their own, it is claimed extreme rites also are practiced by the Pentecostal adherents. ABANDONE HOPES OF SAVING MINERS NEW CASTLE, Eng., March 31.

Hi school committee points out that Placentia is not fighting to break away from the present Fullerton district, but to have the present law amended so that people can decide for themselves whether to vote on the question. This was the organization meeting of the Lions. Some 25 were present, including Garden Grove and Brea Lions. FIANCE MISSING LONG BEACH, March 31—Police searched the Marshland section between Long Beach and Wilmington today for trace of William Leroy Brown, 25, who has been mysteriously missing since last Wednesday night.
