Fitts, chief deputy district attorney of Los Angeles Co., and first state commander of the American Legion, who at the meeting of the local post of the American Legions. Fittts talked on Americanization, the crime wave and the boy and girl problem of today and auditors pronounced it the best address that he has ever given. Fittts said that in organized banditry a mere youth is always picked to do the killing. The average age of the killer of today is 17, of the highwayman or sack man 18 to 20; of the small-job man 19 to 20, and of all kinds of criminals 22. He said it is the work of the Legion and other organization to assist the home to overcome this by offering the proper education and environment. The moral delinquency of the modern girl was also pointed out by Fittts as an alarming feature of the lack of restraint among youth. He said the average age of the girl of the underworld is 17. This he said is a problem that should not be left for the school teacher minister and social worker to solve, but should be met by American parents giving the proper training and teaching in the home. He advocates more time spent in the home in studying and teaching the constitution of the United States, the ideals of Americanism, the laws of the land and the laws of God (and less time in reading rotten stories, salacious news of murder and licentious divorce cases). He says that the home is the place to begin to solve the crime and moral delinquency problems. Along the line of Americanization work he brot out what the Legion is doing towards the fostering of the boy and the girl scout movements, and their education and their parents education in overseeing them in the teachings of the ideals of the constitution. Speaking along the line of law enforcement, he said the average citizen believes in khe enforcement of the law so long as it does not interfere with himself. So long as it effects only the other fellow that's very thing to do, but he expects leniency in his case. If he oversteps, He expects the peace officer not to enforce MILLER LEADING IN MARKSMANSHIP Evan L. Miller, circulation manager for the Plain Dealer, yesterday won first place in the marksmanship elimination contest at Orange-co. park. Competing were officers from Anaheim, Fullerton, Orange, Santa Ana, Huntington Beach, Seal Beach. Mr. Miller is a special officer of the Anaheim police department.

ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE KING BORIS SOFIA, April 15 — Loyal troops today sought six assassins who ambushed King Boris while motoring yesterday. Two of his aides fell dead in the volley and the royal chauffeur slumped over the wheel, badly wounded, while a part of King Boris' moustache was clipped away by a bullet. The king leaped from the auto and led an attack on the assassins, who escaped. The ambush was laid between Sofia and the town of Orchanie. A hall-of-fire came without warning from some bushes at the roadside and bullets spat all about the king, who himself stopped the royal auto as the chauffeur fell wounded. Boris, revolver in hand, led pursuit of the assassins until Orchanie was reached and then dispatched troops to find them. An auto bus carrying valuable mail and wealthy passengers, was following the royal auto on the road from Orchanie to Sofia, and it was suggested that the attack might have been aimed against the auto bus by robbers. It is thought most likely, however, in view of the fact that General Georgehelf was assassinated in Sofia almost simultaneously with the attack, the attempt against King Boris came from revolutionists. VAN SWERINGENS ALASKANS Kasson and Dogs, Who Took Serum to Nome, Arrive Tomorrow Two picturesque heroes of an exploit unique in the history of America's passing pioneer days tomorrow will be the guests of Anaheim. Balto, whose canine faithfulness and courage made possible the saving of snow-bound Nome, Alaska, from a diptheria scourge will arrive here for a two day stay at noon tomorrow. Gunnar Kasson, the dauntless "musher" who drove him on his death defying dash across Alaskan wastes, will be with him. And in their wake will come the entire pack of Siberian dogs that followed Balto's leadership on what was pictured as a forlorn hope. The two visitors who probably have attracted wider attention than any two living creatures in the United States are coming, ostensibly to fill a two day engagement at the West Coast California Theater. But the delegations of various organizations both from Los Angeles and Anaheim, who are participating in his welcome, give the trip more the aspect of a triumphal tour. When Balto and his following arrive here at noon tomorrow he will be greeted by Mayor Mathis, Chief of Police Nichols, and a reception committee which will include numerous local notables. A Boy Scout band is scheduled to provide the music to which the dog hero's bushy tail will wag. With the arriving party will be Major L. J. Suydam, president of the Alaska Yukon Club, Sol Lesser and Mike Rosenberg, who are translating the Nome exploit to the screen, and representatives of half a dozen ogranizations that participated in the Los Angeles reception to Balto and Kasson. Balto will be presented with something more characteristic of Anaheim than a key to the city—possibly a dog biscuit done in the shape of an orange. After which he and his eleven comrades will be escorted to the luxurious kennels being prepared for them at the California. The trip from Los Angeles to Anaheim will be one of the numerous novelties of Balto's new life. Instead of pulling—"mushing" is the word he understands for the action—he will along the line of law he said the average believes in the enforcece law so long as it does effects only the other the very thing to do, expects leniency in his oversteps. He expects officer not to enforce that are unpopular, and breakens all laws, and officer to become himbreaker by ignoring his price.
