WEDNESDAY, MAY 6, 1925 MOTOR BUSINESS OUTLOOK ROSY Judging from factory production and sales this spring, the business outlook is excellent, according to C. L. Gardner, associated with George N. Nolan, Jr., Willys-Knight and Overland dealer. Output at Toledo is far behind orders and a banner year appears to be in store. The Overland all-steel models particularly are creating an excellent buying demand. The tougher steel used on the Overland, its Duco finish and vacuum feed system with gas tank in rear are the features of the new models. "Today, engineers admit that the all-steel design is the nearest approach to perfection in a motor car body because of its greater strength, safety through higher visibility, endurance, proof against fire economy and beauty," says Gardner. "The all steel construction permits use of smaller posts of steel between doors and windows and at windshield corners. This minimizes traffic hazards and insures better vision, besides adding to the graceful appearance of the car. It also gives the body greater rigidity, lessens body vibration and minimizes squeaks and rattles resulting ordinarily from morticed wood joints." "Bodies that once took three days to bend and tap into shape by sand are now being turned out at the rate of 100 an hour in giant presses. Another result of engineering ingenuity, in the development of automotive manufacturing equipment, which has materially reduced manufacture cost and which is reflected in the attractive price of the Overland line. Golden State National Joins Bank Of America It has been a fact well known to the business men and the community at large, that the Golden State National Bank has had a close affiliation with larke banking interests in Los Angeles. Control of a majority of the stock has been vested in the Americommercial Corporation. Therefore it was reasonable to suppose that as soon as feasible, the local bank would become a branch of one of the large banks controlled by the Americommercial Corporation. Word comes to this paper that at the close of business Thursday, May 7, the Golden State National Bank, Anaheim, becomes a branch of the Bank of America. A permit has been received from the State-Banking Department for the take over this announcement coming from the office of Mr. Orra E. Monnette, president of the Bank of America. This is another deal brought about through the activity of the Americommercial Corporation, which is the holding corporation for the Bank of America and the Commercial National Bank, Los Angeles. The affairs of the Bank of America are presided over by Mr. Orra E. Monnette and the Commercial National Bank is directed largely by Mr. L. M. MacDonald, senior executive vice president. ORANGES EASIER NEW YORK, May 6.—Seventeen cars oranges, one lemons sold, oranges slightly easier on 176 size and larger; slightly easier, nigher on 288 sizes and smaller; others unchanged. Averages ranged $4.55 to $7.73. Highest Both these gentlemen are lending their efforts to the consistent building up of the Americommercial Corporation through bank quisitions and additional branches where needed for both the Commercial National and the Bank America. The parent holding company, the Americommercial corporation, already has assets in excess of $23,000,000. It is evident that the connection of the Golden State National Bank into a branch of the Bank America brings an immediate monopolist bank service to Anahale. The local institution has been pioneer banking institution of community. Under the able management of Mr. Adolph Thou President, and E. E. Smith, Officer, local deposits have exceeded $1,100,000. Under the chair now effected Mr. Thomas because vice president of the Bank America and Mr. Smith became the local manager of the Bank America. The big financial interests in Los Angeles which thus become interested in a heim by the establishment of a branch Bank of America, shown their faith in this company. Increased banking facility are available for the bank's cash tele because of this uniting of local institution with the Bank America. The former directors of the Golden State National Bank serve as advisory board member for the Bank of America. Adolph Thomas, Louis Dale Fred Koesel, W. A. Bonynge, Stark, C. F. Grim, E. E. Smith, W.

YORBA LINDA YORBA LINDA, May 6. (Spl.) Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Eichler were host and hostess to their evening bridge club on Thursday evening. Various beautiful spring blossoms were used as decoration and tally cards were symbolic of spring. Prizes were awarded Mrs. Stanley Tutton, Mr. Charles Paline and Mr. Tutton. At a late hour the hostess served a dainty two course supper menu. Guests included Mr. and Mrs. Tutton, Mr. and Mrs. Paline, Mr. and Mrs. H. Hoben, Mr. and Mrs. Grover Beale, Mr. and Mrs. B. M. Selover, Dr. and Mrs. R. Cochran, Mr. and Mrs. Gallerd Page of Anaheim were guests of the club in the absence of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Murray. The garden committee of the Woman's club are sponsoring a dance which will be given in Masonic hall on Friday evening. A splendid four piece orchestra from Santa Ana has been secured for the evening and tickets are on sale at Cannon's Drug Store. There will be tables for card players arranged in the banquet room of the hall for those who do not dance. The social committee of the Yorba Linda Woman's club held a May breakfast party in the club gardens on Friday. The tables were beautifully decorated with large bowls of spring flowers and a delicious menu served from 11 till 1 o'clock. A program which included a flower playlet by the pupils of the second grade with Miss Irene Marshburn as teacher, songs by Mrs. J. J. Alexander of Fullerton; instrumental by Mrs. B. M. Selover, solo by Miss Guyanne Kellogg with Ramona Fuller accompanying and an act by the "Merry Makers Club," directed by George Quigley, was much enjoyed. There were a number of out-of-town guests and Mrs. Kellogg as chairman of the social section feels that the affair was a social as well as a financial success. Mr. and Mrs. H. E.

SECRET Scientific Argosy Seeks Unexplored Faces of "Sea of Missing Ships" to Plumbers of Weed-Girt Tropic Waters It is very hot. The sea rolls sluggishly under a mast sky with a sun in it like a rotten orange. The surface of the water is patched and granulated every direction with a mat of pallid green yellow. There is no sound but the occasional wash of wave beneath the weed, and the hoarse crying of the sands of sea birds hovering and wheeling above. In all the lonely circle of the horizon the Sargasso Sea stretches without sign of human life, unless it be the solitary hulk of a derelict, sunk to the water-line, which wails almost invisible in its trappings of kelp and strange, snake-like marine plants, dotted with reeting gulls.

There is no sound but the occasional wash of wave beneath the weed, and the hoarse crying of the sands of sea birds hovering and wheeling above. In all the lonely circle of the horizon the Sargasso Sea stretches without sign of human life, unless it be the solitary hulk of a derelict, sunk to the water-line, which wallets almost invisible in its trappings of kelp and strange, snake-like marine plants, dotted with reeting gulls. But far to the north a faint smudge of smoke appears against the sky, mounting and growing darker. The masts and funnel of a steamer come into view beneath it, and in an hour's time the ship is well above the horizon, ploughing her way stubbornly through the floating fields of vegetation. Clouds of chattering birds fly about her, raising their voices in angry vociferation at this invasion of their age-old domain. A mattress of weed trails thickly from her advancing stem, like an incongruous green mountache, and in the open water of her wake the sharp fins of sharks are sliding along, silent as pursuing wolves. A Strange Craft An unusual craft this, which has poked her blunt nose into this untraveled wilderness of the sea. Suspended over her fore-foot is a small platform, swung outboard from the cut-water, from which a man with a long-handled ladle is dipping and scooping beneath the surface. Right, left, right, left, he probes the still-untroubled waters as they advance. The spoils he deposits in tin pails ranged about his feet. Lining the rail above him is a group of fourteen people who peer eagerly at the warm mistiness of the sea, talking in excited persa. Except for them the ship seemed deserted, a small freighter preternaturally clean, with the name "Arcturus" gleaming in gold letters upon her bows. But she is not an ordinary cargo-cadger.

PUSH PROBE OF HINDU HEALER SEATTLE, May 9 — Department of justice officials here today continued their investigation into the operations of Dinshah P. Ghadiall, 52, Hindu healer, self styled metaphisician and claimant of the title of colonel in the New York police reserve aviation force. During the day federal proceedings will be filed to remove him to Portland on a charge of Mann Act violation in connection with his alleged companionship with Miss Geraldie McCann, a daughter of a respected family of the Oregon metropolis. The suspected psychologist was captured yesterday in a downtown hotel after a pistol duel. His grips packed for a journey to Philadelphia, his ticket in his pocket, with plans apparently well laid for a hurried getaway, Ghadiall was completely surprised by the officers. Chief Marshal M. E. Berstein of the Seattle office, and inspector L. C. Wheeler of the Los Angeles district co-operated here in the probe of Ghadiall's recent affairs. Miss McCann is reported to have made a complete confession involving the Hindu in a series of serious charges. He is accused of transporting her from San Francisco to Portland on April 30. Her parents rescued the girl in her home city and Ghadiall came on here. Prior to that time he was charged with traveling in various parts of the country with the girl and another woman whom he is alleged to have introduced as his wife. In his effects a chock was found made out for a week's salary to Miss McCann drawn on the Pitman Trust Company of Pitman, N.J., the amount was for $15 and the check had not been cash-ed.

Shore here in the depths of almitable sea-meadows, worklight and day upon a host of scientific problems, the party will first-hand information upon one of the least-known and most widely misrepresented portions of the earth's surface. Much has been written about the Sargasso Sea. Its time-honored appellation, "The Sea of Dead Ships," has captured the imagination of a veritable army of writers who, never having been there themselves, have permitted their fancy to run riot among the clustering weed and the hot currentless waters. Sargasso Superstititions There are weird tales of ships caught in the Sargasso Sea and unable to get out, found centuries later with the skeletons of all their crew lying in the tatters of their garments, victims of starvation and thirst. There are alluring stories of Spanish treasure galleons floating with all their gold in the deepest fastnesses of the weed. These have been highly colored romances based upon the idea of strange kingdoms in the secret depths of the sudd, great collections of derelicts peopleled by lost men, ruled by fierce-eyed, hairy sailors. Such is the Sargasso Sea of fiction. In actuality it is vastly different. As a result of the circulation of ocean currents about a certain spot in the North Atlantic, a thick accumulation of floating seaweed and other vegetation has formed there, as flotsam forms in the back waters of running streams. This spot, generally northeast of the West Indies, is roughly bounded by the latitudes 25 to 30 North and the longitudes 38 to 60 West. A Little Known Field But of the actual teeming life which swarms in and about, above and below this matting of twisted plant growth all too little scientific data are available. From the zoological point of view the Sargasso Sea and the depths beneath it are almost virgin territory. It is this field which the Arcturus and her little company of students have come to explore.

Huge tropical medusae, filling a whole cask with their long, poisonous tentacles. Fish with brilliant stripings and mottlings in every hue, which glitter like jeweled ornaments. And at last a specimen of that rare thing, a Sargasso Fish, draws a delighted cry from one of the boats. The others gather round until their thwarts touch, while their occupants peer at the curious little fish flapping in the rays of the flashlight. Not so remarkable in appearance, but very scarce—a female antennarius, lured away from the nest she had spun in the weed for her eggs, while her spouse kept watch. In the days that follow, other work is done. A small platform is swung from a boom and lowered over the ship's side. A man takes his place upon it, ciad in a bathing suit, and wearing a huge copper diving helmet on his head. The air pump is started and man and platform sink slowly beneath the of the boat, with another knife. Heroism is not entirely confined to battlefields. Many nights are spent in deep-sea dragging, steaming slowly through the matted vegetation while along the bottom of the ocean, thousands of feet below, a great steel mesh gathers in the strange creatures of the abyssen. The night is chosen, the better to observe the natural illuminating devices with which many of these fish are equipped, living as they do in the perpetual darkness of the profound depths where no sunlight ever penetrates. De Profundis Up comes the dragnet, dripping, and its ice-cold contents are emptied upon the deck. Under the combined rays of a dozen flashlights the black and shining beam of ooze is examined. Shapeless masses are separated out and laid aside, contorted almost out of re-ogination by their convulsive expansion when taken from the enor- the dark waters alongside are lit with a greenish glow. Aboard the Arcturus there is a堡 of preparation. Hurrying figures pass and repass before the lighted ports; there is a creak of rocks and a gleam of flashlights in davits are swung out and the small boats prepared. Oars thump rowlocks, and parallel whorls of phosphorescence mark their progress away from the ship. The Flashlight's Lure At a little distance they pause, the flashlights wink and creep on the weed, or glisten on the leaving swells. Nets are dipped and emptied, bringing up strange small creatures and fantastic fishes, fascinated by the lights. Microscopic algae are scooped up millions and poured into receptacles, to be studied and classified in the laboratories aboard the ship. For hours the work goes on. Minute sea-horses, feathery and ragged as the weed itself, are brought met gives the signal to raise the platform. From his belt he draws a long, sharp knife. The Shark Attacks Almost at the surface, but now the shark comes with a silent rush, turning over as it tears. The man, crouched with one hand clutching a ringbolt, lunges at the close white smear. The weapon strikes, in turn from his hand, and he emerges through the clinging weed like some strange monster rising from the sea, fugitive but triumphant. Within half an hour he is under the water again, on the other side are slowly filled. Thousands of photographs are taken, and hundreds of feet of motion-picture film. Vast quantities of notes are made; bookfuls of data accumulated. Special care is observed to set aside a series of specimens, well preserved, to be used in the submarine Sargasse Sea section which will be installed at the Museum of Natural History in New York. And when all is completed the arcturus nudus her way out of the weed and sets a homeward course bearing with her a glorious treasure-trove of new knowledge and discovery.
