SANTA ANA INVITES YOU
7(T IS THE LEADING CITY in the “biggest little county on earth.” You
^ wouldn’t guess that Orange County produces twice as much oil as the
state of Pennsylvania—though you may have heard that it produces
more wealth from the soil than any other equal area in America.
Orange County is first in the state in both total production and in
yield per acre of walnuts, sugar beets and Valencias, and second in lem
ons and truck crops.
It produces 40% of the walnuts, 30% of the sugar beets, 21% of the
truck crops, 20% of the lemons and 15% of the oranges. It has five
sugar mills with an output of $9,000,000 annually.
Its total soil production is over $40,000,000 and its oil flow brings
more than $52,000,000 annually. It is running close to a hundred million
production and is sometimes spoken of as the “biggest little county on
earth.”
You can see that prosperity, wealth, happiness and health are logical
consequences and natural conditions for the inhabitants of this dynamic
little kingdom.
Do you desire to share these blessings? Of course you do, and any
one of the following Realtors, members of Santa Ana Realty Board and
licensed by the state, will help you in every way possible. Write or call

J. B. FITZPATRICK, A. M„ Editor
Editorials
OUR CRIMINAL RECORD
A FEW years ago, Mr. Raymond Fosdick
published some comparisons between
crime-records, American and foreign,
which were not flattering. Mr. Fosdick
seemed to think that if records could prove
anything, they proved, in this instance, that
we were a criminal people. With this con
clusion the American Bar Association, at its
meeting in 1922, agreed. An American sta
tistician of unusual balance and accuracy,
Mr. Frederick L. Hoffmann, now comes for
ward with the deduction, drawn from the
reports of twenty-eight American and ten
Canadian cities, that murder is five times
more frequent in the United States than it
is in Canada, the respective rates per unit of
population being 8.5 and 1.7.
Mr. Hoffmann’s analysis of this shocking
condition is enlightening. We do not take
murder and other crimes of violence seri-
nisly. Our police methods allow too many
criminals to escape. Is there an American
city today without its long list of “ unsolved
murders” ? If the criminal is caught, an
indictment may follow, and, again it may
not. If arraigned for trial, he has a far bet
ter chance of acquittal than the law has of
vindication. “ In England,” Judge Quinn,
of Boston, is quoted as saying, “ it bardic
takes an hour to select a jury, and some-
tunes only thirty minutes in Canada.” In
the United States, the tedious process may
drag on for weeks. Even when conviction
is secured, delay follows upon delay; if sen
tence is imposed, a commutation is often se
cured. Hence the public becomes accus
tomed to loose methods of dealing with
crime and imperceptibly there arises “ a
public apathy as regards capital crimes.” A
lawyer of long experience once remarked
that it was a perennial source of surprise to
him to learn how many good citizens sym
pathize with the criminal, if not with crime.
The effect upon law-enforcement could
hardly be worse if their sympathy was de
voted to the crime itself.
It is certainly true that “ it is of the very
first importance that sentence be carried out
without unnecessary delays,” but the real
remedy, as Mr. Hoffmann recognizes, calls
for something more than swift justice.
“ We are falling short of the accepted
standards of Christianity.” Even more
necessary than a consistent policy of pun
ishment of crime is a consistent policy of
prevention of crime. Punishment is a
weak deterrent, and prison rarely reforms.
The best way to train our children to re-
pect the law of the land is to teach them to
respect the law of God.
MARRIED WOMEN AND THEIR
NAMES

ation for the social uplift bears the
name of Lucy Stone. Like the eccentric

Editorials
slave of domineering man, and in their
judgment, the woman who assumes her hus
band’s name permits herself to be regarded
as a chattel or a servant.
This position is, of course, absurd. What
name a woman bears after marriage is, in
itself, a matter of no great moment. The
taking of a husband’s name is commanded
by no law and, like the general use of fami
ly names even by men, is of comparatively
recent origin.
In our day and country, we speak of Mr.
and Mrs. John Smith, and not of Mr. John
Smith and his wife, Miss Jane Jones, not
because we believe that Miss Jane Jones is
a serf, but simply in conformity with a con
venient custom. As long as this custom,
recognized by law and generally approved
by society, remains in force, it is well to con
form to it, although difformity is banned by
no law of God or man. In any case, hus
bands who are determined to treat their
wives as slaves or chattels, probably will not
be deterred by the fact that these ladies
have retained their own names.
THE DECADENCE OF THE SHORT
STORY
I T IS REFRESHING to read an honest
criticism of modern American fiction. In
the January Bookman the short story is
evaluated by a writer who appreciates this
literary form and deprecates its decadence,
llis contention is that the short story has
deteriorated as the magazine has developed.
The magazine that calls itself popular, and
counts its circulation in the thousands and
hundreds of thousands has pandered to the
cheap and the thoughtless in American life,
estimating its success by its advertising re
turns.
It is by means of the blue pencil that the most
debasing effect on our fiction is achieved. For in
the interest of advertising the blue pencil well nigh
eliminates the modern short story as the medium of
self expression. Today it is a commonplace of the
trade to have an author deny responsibility for the
action and character development in his story be
cause one-quarter or one-third of it has been cut off
by some literary Procrustes. This is done without
notifying the writer or seeking his permission, and
there is no redress, since the fact that the story has
been mangled is known only after it has appeared
in its final form. The excuses given are various but
the main reasons for lopping are the last minute
increases and the unexpected cancellations in orders
for advertising space.
One contemplates with a shudder what the blue
pencil put to it to find space for a column ad on
“ Self-Supporting Suspenders” might have done to
“Rip Van Winkle” or to “ The Fall of the House of
Usher.” There was a time when the world admitted
our claim to this literary form for a number of
reasons. . . . But we have failed signally to live
up to the promise of our early writers and have
gradually ceased to achieve esthetic expression
through the short story.
Only recently the editor of one of our
advertising mediums called popular maga
zines lamented the fact that our fiction had
reached its lowest ebb. No change however
has been noticed in this magazine which
continues to run its stories from page one
to page one hundred and then in and out
of a page of beautiful pictures of house fur
nishings and wearing apparel. This is sure
ly one block to building up a short story lit
erature. No sane reader is going to submit
to a game of hide and seek in an endeavor
to get the unity of impression which is the
short story’s aim. Admitting even that, the
editorial SSolons of our popular magazines
really did not hack a good writer’s effort
for a good advertisement’s financial return,
it is next to impossible for the writer to
deliver his message on the printed page if
that page is to be broken up by pictures of
soap suds or washing powder. Poe or Haw
thorne or any of the real short story writers
of America in the past would have gone
down before the modern onslaught of soap
or suspenders. Their readers could not
have been reached, 'for the human mind
cannot take in the word picture in all its
power if it is faced by the “ ad” picture
with all its color and flare.
This is why our popular magazines block
anything like real writing, and whether
their editors have any true literary sense or
not, until they keep advertising copy in a
section by itself no true writers can have
a chance to display their power, nor true
readers a chance to appreciate that power.
There are a number of things the matter with
our popular magazines as the Bookman
points out. But one thing that can be rem
edied by a gentleman’s agreement among
editors of American magazines is the glar
ing defect of mixing “ad copy” with liter
ary copy. Here is a use for the blue pencil.
Let it run through the “ ad” page and move
it into a distinct section. This should be
the first step in the campaign for better
American short stories.

THE PUBLIC PAY-ROLL
T O BRING HOME the significance of
the fact that the number of public
.servants in the United States is not
less than 2,000,000, and that out of every
twenty men and women employed in mines,
mills, factories, stores, offices or farms
throughout the land, one is on the Govern
ment payroll, the Budget, published bj the
National Budget Committee, writes:
Distribute these employes, for the sake of illus
tration, equally throughout our population. You
step out of your office and every twentieth man or
woman you meet on the street is a Government
employe. You ride home in the subway, every
twentieth one there is working for the Government.
You take a train; of the 120 persons thereon, such
is the average, six are on Government pay rolls.
You go to the far places of the West; one out of
every twenty workmen devotes his full time to the
business of serving and governing the other nine
teen and at their expense.
But let us not imagine that only one out
of every twenty dollars earned by the work
ers goes to maintain the Government ma
chine. The fact is that eveiy week every
one of us is at work approximately one day
without pay in order to produce our share
of the Government upkeep. On the basis
of five persons per family the cost of Gov
ernment is about $400 per family per year.
The total cost of the American Government,
Federal and State, in 1921 was $8,460,011,-
587, a figure eluding even the imagination.
REVISION IS NEEDED
HE CONTROVERSY over text books
of history in the public schools is be
ing waged quite vigorously. While
it is not altogether the result of the war our
association in it has been an influence. That
there is need of cautious revision can scarce
ly be questioned.
We do not believe that history should be a
paean of glory but rather should be a rela
tion of facts. The early histories of our
country fed our children on the glories of
America and Americans, frequently at the
cost of historic truth. While it may be said
that recent histories are more truthfully
written, yet we find in some of them a spirit
of sycophancy that is disgusting. The early
struggles of the American colonies have
been made to appear little better than a re
bellion by an unruly mob. Some of the text
hooks speak in scathing terms of the militia
that refused to obey orders in our second
war with England. Whatever may have
been the actual facts in early American
struggles, they were exhibitions of the high
est courage. Even the untrained militia
who refused to obey orders in 1812 were not
moved by cowardice nor by want of patriot
ism but by what they believed to be con
scientious objection to aggression against
Canada. The final blow that brought on
the War of Independence was a trifle but
it represented the end of a long series of
injustices. The greatest declaration of hu
man rights was forged in a living fire and
conceived by men who put high value on
things spiritual. We want our children to
learn the truth, but we do not want to raise
a generation of cynics. There is ample rea
son for prudent glorification in the history
of our republic.
The histories that are placed in the hands
of our children should inspire a respect for
their country and their forebears and
should properly emphasize the glorious
ideals of the fathers of our country. At
the same time history should not palliate
some of the mistakes and injustices that
may have been committed in our rather
brief national life.
Under date of June 6, 1923, The Ft.
Wayne Journal-Gazette says editorially:
The time has come now for real 100 per cent
Americans to assert themselves as to the character
of history to be taught in the public schools and in
the public schools of Indiana.
It- is up to the American people to say whether
English, propaganda belittling the story of our Rev
olution and sneering at the heroes of those Plu-
tarchian days shall be forced upon the impression
able minds of the children by any aggregation of
educators in the country.
The Muzzey history has been adopted in this state
and out of this bitterly partisan, and, as we believe,
miserably unpatriotic volume, your children are to
be taught.
This is the history that the commissioner appoint
ed in New York to investigate has denounced as
unfit to be taught in the public schools.
It is the history that the Sons of the American
Revolution excoriated in their national convention
in Nashville last week.
It is the history that the Grand Army of the Re
public and Spanish-American veterans have con
demned.
And it now develops that in Indiana this history
was denounced as unfit and unpatriotic by the
American Legion in a protest lodged with Mr. Bur
ris, the state superintendent of public instruction.

Eight THE ORANGE COUNTY REVIEW
Editorials
It is a history that has no space for the mention
of Paul Revere’s ride, which dismisses Concord and
Lexington in forty-one words, and devotes but seven
out of 538 pages, to the American Revolution, the
most momentous movement for the liberty of man
that the world has ever known.
It is such a history of underhand attacks on
American characters and movements as would not
be tolerated by the most backword, least self-re
specting nations on the face of the globe.
In its letter of protest the American Legion of
Indiana says:
The American Legion, department of Indiana,
does hereby most earnestly and emphatically enter
its objection to the acceptance of either of these!
books for use in the public schools of Indiana for
the reason that the spirit in which they are written
is manifestly unpatriotic and biased.
This office is advised that these histories have
been rejected by many schools over the country.
Our objections are solely on patriotic grounds
as we have no knowledge as to the names of the
publishers of either book.
We most respectfully urge the rejection of these
two histories.
Not only is the Muzzey book adopted in this state
but the other book by Professor West, “ A History
of the American People”—which is the other book
against which the legion protests.
It is up to the American people, whose children’s
impressions of their country and the things for
which their country has stood and stands, to deter
mine whether they shall have forced upon them
books of alleged “ history” bearing all the earmarks
of un-American propaganda, which have been de
nounced and damned as unpatriotic by the—
American Legion.
The Sons of the American Revolution.
The Grand Army of the Republic.
The Spanish-American W ar Veterans.
It would be unfortunate if it should become nec
essary for the parents to take their children from
their classrooms to point out the slanders, the be-
littlement, the sneers, and the falsehoods that had
been taught them during the day in the schools.
That, we s'jbmit, is an intolerable outrage.
The issue has been made and must be met.
For, as has been said, “ any nation that will not
defend its defenders and protect its protectors is a
disgrace to the map of the world.”
It is to be hoped that the full protest of the Am
erican Legion and these other organizations may
be published to the world, and that real Americans
will make it their business to protect their children
against this poison.
SPECIAL HARBOR NUMBER
HE ORANGE COUNTY REVIEW
expects shortly to publish a special
Orange County Harbor number that
should claim the interest of every citizen
and property owner in each of the three
counties benefited, San Bernardino, River
side and Orange. We ask your loyal co-op
eration to the end that this special number
may be worthy of the great project it seeks
to promote.
LATEST JEWISH STATISTICS
The Jewish Year Book informs us that the
Jews throughout the world now number 15,-
4-00,000. About 9,250,000 of these are in the
various Slavic countries, and in Hungary and
Austria. Various estimates have been given
of the Jews in Palestine, but they are said
to number at least 85,000, or somewhat over
twelve per cent of the total population. For
the United States the figure given by the Am
erican Jewish Committee of 1918 is used. It
places the Jewish population at 3,300,000. Of
New York City the American Israelite inci
dentally writes in a recent issue that: “ It
has a larger Jewish population than any city
in the world, its 1,500,000 citizens of the Jew
ish faith constituting almost half the total
Jewish population of the United States, about
one-tenth the total in the world, and more than
twice the 600,000 population of Jerusalem be
fore its fall.”
SAN JUAN MISSION CHIMES ARE
RESTORED
SAN JUAN.—Another of the 21 original
Spanish missions in California is under way of
restoration. Recently the double chimes of the
Mission San Juan Baptista sounded, proclaim
ing to the world that damage from age and
long-forgotten earthquakes was to be repaired
and rebuilt.
The Mission San Juan Baptista is the largest
in Northern California. It was founded in
1797, and completed in 1809. It is located in
the little village of San Juan, San Benito coun
ty, on the old coach road ,or king’s highway,
between Sargent and Hollister.
Southern California alone bought more goods
in January than the combined states of Oregon,
Washington, Delaware and New Hampshire, ac
cording to the statistics.
All of which goes to show that the Los An
geles trade territory is fully justifying its repu
tation as the “white spot” of the nation when
it comes to prosperity. People do not buy in
record quantities when the pinch of poverty is
upon any great proportion of the population.

To candle-light, each hour
Piled up disaster.
* * * At night the red sun
Skulked adown the sky as one
Who looks not back upon
His work. * * *

Fell on houses where women hugged
their babies;
And moaned, and starving men who
fought and failed, lifted on high their
Empty hands * * *
* * * Fromi out the ruin’s
Midsts “There is no God!”
They cry.

With bounty and the songs
Of men * * *

Moved unto his rest as one who leaves
Behind benign remembrances

And women softly sang. * * *

Must We Rob Our Enemies?
By Elbridge Colby
O NE OF THE last things which happened
at the last session of Congress, was the
passing of an Act (Public; No. 536; 67th
Congress), providing that certain money and
property held by the Alien Property Custod
ian be returned to the owners, but not in any
case in amounts to exceed $10,000. On March
7 the New York Tribune referred editorially
to the enactment under the heading “ Passed
in the Dark” and started a vigorous discus
sion. As a matter of fact, there was no last
minute speed or masquerade about it at all.
The matter had been avowedly under advise
ment since June, 1922. In public hearings and
executive sessions, Senate and House Commit
tees had considered the matter. The Chamber
of Commerce of the State of New York had
framed and adopted a resolution on the sub
ject. Yet there has been running in the daily
press a nice little controversy on the matter,
a controversy which has brought up the whole
question as to whether the property should
be returned, or whether it should be confiscat
ed and the proceeds applied to the settlement
of claims of Americans against the German
Government.
This is a question which affects all citizens
of this country, and not merely those with
pecuniary interests in pressing diplomatic
claims. It is to be hoped that a New York
gentleman is in the minority when he an
nounces :
I am glad to say that the House of Representa
tives refused to adopt an amendment declaring it
to be the policy of our Government never to apply
any of the proceeds of this property to the Ameri
can claims.
It is much more reassuring to see that the
Alien Property Custodian can remark:
This Administration does not advocate the policy
of confiscating private property to pay national
debts.
When the New York State Chamber of Com
merce on March 1 adopted the resolution al
ready referred to, one of the gentlemen pres
ent argued thus:
Read section 5 of the peace treaty, providing that
the United States might hold the property seized
at the beginning of the war until all claims were
settled and that the Alien Property Custodian might
use the funds to pay off claims against Germany.
They cite the Treaty with Germany as am
ple justification for the wrong they would do.
Just so they might have cited the Treaty of
Versailles, Articles 231-244, together with an
nexes 14, which insist on Germany’s responsi
bility for all damages, direct and indirect,
growing out of the war suffered by allied Gov
ernments or their nationals and which furth
er provide that the reparations commission
“ shall not be bound by any particular code
or rules of law” or rules of evidence. In other
words, as has been well said, “ No modern
treaty of peace has done international law
such violence. . . . The treaty appears to
discard many vital principles of the customary
as well as the conventional law of nations.
. . . The reparations commission must nec
essarily be freed from any such obligation if
it is to carry out certain terms of the treaty.”
Things may be done in the heat of action
that are contrary to international law. Even
the treaty which puts an end to that terrible
litigation of nations may be oppressive and
unfair and improper from the standpoint of
international law. Simply because a thing is
in a treaty is no guarantee of its righteous
ness, particularly in a treaty which the defeat
ed nation has had to sign on the dotted line
without discussion. We may pardon errors
of judgment of this sort committed in the heat
of belligerent animosity. But five years later
more reasonable views should have an oppor
tunity to prevail.
Have we forgotten the words of the Presi
dent who said, “ We have no quarrel with
the German people!” Have we forgotten the
terms of the resolution by which “ the Gov
ernment and people of the United States” de
clared war on “ the Imperial German Govern
ment?” The matter of claims is a matter be
tween our citizens and the German Govern
ment, to be settled by the interposition of our
State Department. The matter of Alien Prop
erty is a matter between our Government and
individual Germans and their property. It is
private property which we still hold. It is
private property which these extremists want
confiscated. It is private property which they
desire to endanger and to continue to hold as
a guarantee and eventually to use to set off
the claims.
Slowly decent humanitarian motives have
managed to build up over a space of many
hundreds of years an immunity of private

protections. Since its very foundation the
Government of the United States’ has consist
ently advocated this principle in international
relations. As early as 1785 we concluded a
treaty with Prussia which said:
All women and children, scholars of every faculty,
cultivators of the earth, artisans, manufacturers,
and fishermen, unarmed and inhabiting unfortified
towns, villages, or places, and in general all others
whose occupations are for the common subsistence
and benefit of mankind, shall be allowed to continue
their respective employments, and shall not be mo
lested in their persons, nor shall their houses or
goods be burnt or otherwise destroyed, nor their
fields wasted by the armed forces of the enemy,
into whose power by the events of war they may
happen to fall. And all merchant and trading ves
sels employed in exchanging the products of differ
ent places, and thereby rendering the necessaries,
conveniences, and comforts of human life more eas
ily to be obtained, and more general, shall be al
lowed to pass free and unmolested.
The doctrine grew. When we entered Porto
Rico and the Philippines, not to mention Cuba,
we announced ourselves as enemies only of the
enemy army and promised protection to the
individual citizens. We had done the same
in Mexico in 1846-1848. The principle ap
peared in Hague Conventions. In 1835 Gal
latin wrote to Everett:
The British in case of war, seize .every vessel in
their ports belonging to the enemy. With this single
exception, the relic of an age of barbarism and
piracy, I am not aware that any civilized nation
does at this time, .even in case of war, seize the
property of private individuals which in time of
peace had been trusted to the hospitality and good
faith of the country.
And there is the crux of the whole situa
tion. It is a matter of national honor, of na
tional principle, of national policy, and of na
tional pride. The sums of money involved
are very small. The amount to he returned
by the new legislation is only forty-five mil
lions, merely about an eighth of the total
amount held. But it should all be returned!
It should not even be held as a “guarantee”
for no guarantee worth calling such, implies
the liability to future confiscation. And fu
ture confiscation is the evil that must be
avoided. As a man of business remarked, the
merchants of New York in supporting the con
fiscation idea are trying to establish a prece
dent. though they probably do not know it,
which will jeopardize their own private prop
erty in time of war. Revert to the theory of
confiscabilitv, and the work of generation upon
generation of publicists and statesmen will
pass away in the wild plunder of future con
flicts. Are we to progress during the coming
century or to retrograde1? In 1909 the Eng
lishman Bentinck remarked:
Until the end of the eighteenth century, the com
mon opinion held that one of the aims of war was
to. enrich the State and impoverish the enemy by
despoiling his individual subjects. The French Rev
olution brought into prominence again the idea of
a natural law and a state of nature, and asserted
throughout Europe the rights of the individual man
against the powers of government. This great
change in thought brought with it a new concep
tion of the proper purpose of belligerents. In the
widespread awakening of the human race, and in
the questioning of all law and all existing ideas, a
new theory of the relation of war and conquest to
private property was enunciated. Its basis has
remained until the present day . . . It is true
that these ideas were for a long time mere theories
which were travestied in action, but their utterance
marks the beginning of a change in feeling which
in the nineteenth century had had far-reaching ef
fects on practise. We may take it that the great
principle which governs modern usage is to elim
inate all wanton violence and damage from war, and
to restrict the passions of greed and cruelty in bel
ligerents. The French Revolution heralds and
ushers in the democratic age in Europe, and the
democratic principle in war is to pay regard to the
private property of the peaceful inhabitants. The
absolute monarphs who went to war to enrich them
selves maintained spoliation. The sovereign peoples
regard peace as the normal and desirable condition
of mankind, and only resort to war to secure some
great national end which is not furthered by seiz
ures of private wealth.
Shall we, who fought to make the world safe
for democracy; .shall we, who fought to ex
tend the frontiers of freedom against the en
dangering might of our enemy, shall we, who
believe in fairness and decency, shall we, Avho
have always been in the very foremost rank
of the nations on every occasion where the
advancement of international law and order
are concerned, shall we stoop to such a subver
sion of proper principles? Shall we confiscate
private property simply because some money
is owed to some of our nationals? Shall we
stand alongside of the French commissioners
who confiscated German private property in
Alsace and Lorraine? Our only excuse might
be the properly discredited tu quoque argu
ment. The reasons against such a step are
legion. Chief amongst them is the selfish
reason that if we foster and further the theory
of confiscability we endanger our own prop
erty overseas and imperil every American
merchant and trader and financier who has in
terests or commercial relations or invest
ments in any foreign land; and the most pow
erful reason that as a nation we have always
stood for the right and for the advancement
of international law, not for the wrong, and
for the subversion of law.

How “Home Sweet Home” Was Written
By Maude Gardner.
An exile from home, splendor dazzles in vain:
Oh, give me my louiy thatched cottage again!
IT IS THE SORROW in the voice that makes
the song so sweet; this song, born of suffer
ing and sadness, like all immortal things
made perfect through suffering, is John How
ard Payne’s song of triumph. It seems the
very irony of fate that the poet from whose pen
came the immortal lyric, Avhich has touched re
sponsive chords in the heart of the king as well
as the peasant, was himself a homeless wan
derer.
It was on a dreary October evening that John
Howard Payne found himself in the upper story
of a cheerless lodging house in what is now the
throbbing heart of the city of Paris. His
theatrical ventures had proved failures; he was
broken in health and reduced in fortune; and
as he stood by his window and looked down on
the happy crowds that promenaded the streets
below him, a feeling of utter desolation and
loneliness crept into his heart. Everyone seem
ed going home,—home to lighted houses where
loved ones were waiting. A light in the window
and somebody waiting! But the Atlantic Ocean
separated him from those he loved and who
loved him. He was a stranger in an unsympa
thetic multitude where silitude is more oppres
sive than that of any other. Thoughts of the
old home of his grandfather at East Hampton,
on Long Island—the friendly old house where
much of his boyhood and youth had been
passed,—came to him; and far-away America
became glorified through the mist of homesick
ness,—the longing for dear familiar faces, the
seeing of alien places through sight-Avearv eyes
and the poignancv of memory.
Bereft of all other consolation, the words of
the song came rushing into his mind; and from
the aching heart of an humble exile came the
little song that has expressed the sentiment of
millions of exiles in every clime and country,—
the song that makes us forget the disappoint
ments and the heartaches of life and takes us
back to childhood days.
But not even in death did John HoAvard
Payne haA7e a home; for he died in the Ameri
can Consulate at Tunis, on April 1, 1852, at
tended onlv by his faithful Moorish servants
and tAvo Sisters of Charity. TTe was buried on
a hill overlooking Carthage, and there in alien
soil the poet slept for more than thirty years.
And then in the mind of Mr. W. W. Corcoran,
the great philanthropist of Washington, D. C-,
there was conceived the idea of bringing the re
mains back to America, to rest in the soil of
his native land. It had semed to him almost
a desecration to allow the precious dust of an
American citizen who had sung so sweetly in
praise of “ home, sweet home,” to mingle Avith
any other than American soil. And so from
that distant land they brought the remains of
John Howard Payne; and on the ninety-second
anniversary of his birth—June 9, 1883—they
were reinterred in his native land.
In beautiful Oak Heights Cemetery, just out
side the city of Washington, D. C., and in front
of the little vine-covered chapel, they made his
grave. A plain Avhite marble shaft, surmounted
by a bust of Mr. Payne, one half larger than
life-size, marks the hallowed spot. The slab
which covered the grave in Tunis, and which
with the body was brought to America, lies
near. On one side of the shaft is the poet’s
name, Avith the dates of his birth and death;
while on the other is the inscription:
Sure when thy gentle spirit fled
To realms beyond the azure dome,
With arms outstretched God’s angels said:
“Welcome to Heaven’s home, siveet home!’’
John Howard Payne had lived in Washing
ton, and this cemetery, which was then only a
Avoodland, was a fa\Torite haunt of his. He fre
quently visited the charming spot with friends,
and Avas always enthusiastic in his praise of the
beauty of the place and the picturesque scenery
surrounding it; little dreaming that, after his
mortal remains had rested in alien soil for more
than thirty years, they would be brought
thither by a friend whose loyalty to his memory
Avould cause them to be consigned to their final
resting-place beneath the very trees in whose
grateful shadow he had once loved to A\mnder.

days.—A. Theuriet.

Fourteen THE ORANGE COUNTY REVIEW
The People of Palestine
By A. H. Atteridge
HE BRITISH COLONIAL Office has
published the preliminary results of the
new census of Palestine. The country
that is now thus officially described is the Pal
estine of the “mandate,” Earl Balfour’s “Na
tional Home for the Jewish Race”—and thus
excludes some portions of the historic Pales
tine. East and west its boundaries are the line
of the Jordan and the seacoast of the Mediter
ranean. The country beyond the Jordan is now
the Arab State of “ Trans-Jordania” under
British protection. The northern boundary of
the new Palestine cuts off and assigns to the
French a small portion of the extreme north
of the older Palestine. In the south the his
toric boundary is maintained, namely the mar
gin of the desert country beyond Beersheba and
Gaza.
Until the census was taken last year the esti
mates of population for this new Jewish State
were based on the last Turkish census, correct
ed by local inquiries. These figures made the
total population of Palestine, when the new
Government came into existence in 1919,
amount to 647,850. The census figures show
either that there has been in three years a re
markable increase of the population, or that
the result arrived at in 1919 was an underesti
mate. The latter is almost certainly the true
explanation of the matter.
The census has been very carefully carried
out and is based on a complete enumeration of
the people, except in the extreme south around
Beersheba, where the Bedouin Arabs regarded
census-taking as having some malign purpose
and refused to cooperate in any way with the
officials. In that district the enumerators had
to rely on estimates based on local knowledge.
But the numbers involved here were in any case
unimportant, and we may take it that they do
not affect the general result. The total arrived
at for the whole country is 755,858, in round
numbers 750,000, an increase of about 100,000
on the estimates of 1919.
Out of these 750,000, the Jews, who now con
trol the new Palestine, number only 83,794;
though since 1919 they have been reinforced by
more than 20,000 Jewish immigrants, drawn
chiefly from Russia, Poland and the Balkan
lands. We have thus a minority of some 80,000
Jews dominating a non-Jewish majority of
about 675,000. Was there ever a more glaring
violation of the principle of nationality and
that of democratic rule! The position is even
worse than these figures suggest, for among the
Jews themselves a not inconsiderable number
of the older residents in Palestine are opposed
to the Zionist adventure.
In the non-Jewish majority the largest figure
is that of the Mohammedans—589,564. Next
come the Christians who number 73,026. The
remaining 9,474 of the population are made up
of some 7,000 Druses in the northern districts,
bordering on their stronghold in the Lebanon;
a few adherents of unorthodox Moslem sects,
Bahais, 265, and Metwallis 156; a handful of
Samaritans, 163 in all, the remnant of what was
once a nation; and finally some 1,800 Hindus
and Sikhs, apparently garrison troops and po
lice from British India stationed temporarily
in Palestine.
Leaving these unimportant denominations
out of account, we have, as forming the active
opposition to the rule of the Jewish minority,
more than 650,000 Mohammedans and Chris
tians. They are commonly classed together as
“Arabs,” for though they are not all of Arab
descent, and large numbers of them represent
races that have been longer in Palestine than
most of the Zionists, the language of all the
Mohammedans and all the native Christians is
Arabic. The common danger resulting from
Zionist rule has drawn Moslem and Christian
together for united defense. The Arab delega
tion which came to London last year included
an Arab-speaking representative of the Catho
lics of the Holy Land. The delegates are again
in London. They have had a first interview
with the head of the Colonial Office, the Duke
of Devonshire, and he has told them that there
is no prospect of the present system of govern
ment in Palestine being modified. But Moussa
Kazim el Husseini and his colleagues are not
discouraged by this first rebuff. They say it
was just the kind of official reply they expected
at the outset. They are staying on in London
and hope to have their case brought before both
houses of Parliament. If they succeed in their
purpose, the result will be interesting.
The Zionist propaganda persistently repre
sents the Arab majority in Palestine as an alien
race, inferior in every way to the ruling Jew
ish minority. The fact is kept in the back
ground that some 70,000 of these “Arabs” are

THE ORANGE COUNTY REVIEW Fifteen
Christians, a more numerous body than the
Jews of Palestine before they were reinforced
by the organized immigration from Eastern
Europe. The Zionists trade upon the popular
idea that the Arab is a rude dweller in tents,
of the Bedouin type. But there are very few
Bedouins in Palestine; these are chiefly to be
found on the desert margins about Beerslieba.
The Arabs of the Holy Land-----Moslem and
Christian—are small farmers in the country,
artisans and traders in the towns. Among
them, too, are many highly educated men, and
successful men of business. The only part of
the Holy Land where the Jews, apart from the
privileged position given them by the Zionist
regime, form an important element in the popu
lation is in the South. In and around Jerusa
lem they outnumber slightly the Moslems and
the Christians, if each denomination is taken
separately, though, they are in a minority com
pared to the two combined. In Jaffa Jews and
Moslems are about equal in numbers. In the
North about Haifa and Carmel the Christians
form the majority of the population. In view
of these facts it is not a matter for surprise that
another delegation has come from Palestine to
protest present conditions in that land.
The Tragedy of Thrace
By E. Christitch
T HE REINSTATEMENT of Turkish rule
in Thrace is a woeful landmark in his
tory. Thrace was once a kingdom, and
an independent kingdom; but it was success
ively subject to Persia, Macedonia and Syria,
till it fell under Roman sway fifty years B. C.
It lies to the south of the Rhodope mountain
chain; and Western Thrace is situated between
the Mesta and Maritsa rivers. All Trace is
claimed by Turkey, whose policy of extermina
tion enables her to point here, as in Armenia,
to the diminished Christian population and to
rely on its being sufficiently cowed to make a
plebiscite a safe venture. But Greece, Serbia
arid Bulgaria, were able to prevent at Lausanne
the imposition of a plebiscite. Western Thrace
or Gumuljina as it is otherwise called, has cer
tainly now a large Moslem, if not a Turk, pop
ulation. It is inhabited by numbers of Pomaks
(who are Bulgarian Mohammedans), and a ma
jority of Christian Greeks. The land has long
been disputed between Greeks and Bulgarians,
and at the end of the second Balkan War in
1913 Bulgaria got possession of a large Thra
cian area. The Turks, as a rule, fraternized
better with the Bulgarians than with the
Greeks; and when at the close of the Great
War almost the entire province of Thrace, East
and West, was given by the Allies to Greece,
both Turks and Bulgarians departed.
Both peoples are now looking to resettle
ments in this fertile province, so vast that if
has been proposed as a refuge ground for the
Armenian nation, for whom the Turks have de
cidedly no room in Asia Minor. The eminently
industrious Greek population was thriving in
this congenial region, when the terrible collapse
of the Greek army beyond Smyrna, and the
cession at Mudania of Eastern Thrace to the
visitors, suddenly flooded AVestern Thrace with
hundreds of thousands of Greek refugees seek
ing asylum from the returning tyrants.
There is no geographical line of demarcation
between Christendom and Islam ; for in the bor
der lands of Asia and Europe creeds are inter
mingled, and Christianity fluctuates as the Mos
lem scythe moves hither and thither mowing
down, as relentlessly as it dares, those who re
sist Mohammed. In Europe, the Turks are
moving into silent and deserted Thrace, whence
the Greeks fled in panic, but the fugitives are
already hoping and planning for a future re
turn to their homesteads. A gallant little Greek
contingent still holds the fort of Karagatcli
at Adrianople, in spite of the protests of the
French mandatory force, so that Christians still
assert themselves even here. Islam, indeed,
has regained a foothold in Europe that it had
lost, but it has not wiped out the Christian
religion in Asiatic Turkey by expelling the
Greeks.
The deathless Armenians are again lifting
their heads and clamoring for territory on
which to live within Cilicia. They will not go
to Thrace, where neither Greeks nor Bulgar
ians want them; but they will stay in Asia and
exist there as Christians, decimated, tortured,
but ineradicable. Their normal existence is one
of revolt, and it was a new, proud experience
for them last year to join up with a regular
army like that of the Greeks. They had
harassed the Turkish army as best they could
during the World AArar, and paid the penalty.
One reads in Sir V. Chirol’s “ Turkish Em-

pire” that sufficient ammunition was still pos
sessed by the Ottoman troops after the Meso
potamian and Palestine campaigns to enable
them to shoot the Christians in batches. Tied
together in droves, and huddled into the small
est possible space, they were exposed to the
play of machine guns till the last was laid low.
'file decency of a light covering of earth was
often given to the mound of corpses. Far dif
ferent was it with the doomed victims later on,
to whom military parsimony grudged such a
merciful end to their sufferings. Stripped of
every tattered garment that still hung on then-
shrunken limbs, they were chased at bayonet
point into the mountainous regions of eternal
snow, and left, thus unclothed, to perish of
exposure and starvation. Bitterly, indeed, must
the Christians of Asia Minor rue the temerity
of the Greeks when, prompted by the Western
powers, they challenged Turkey-in-Asia, with
the hope Jiidden in their hearts of resuming the
interrupted liturgy in Santa Sophia. Still does
the legend run of the priest, interrupted while
celebrating the Holy Sacrifice, who miraculous
ly disappeared in the wall behind the altar
when the Turks rode into the sacred edifice.
Simple folk on the Greek Islands still dream of
being among the Faithful to receive the Sacred
Species at the hands of this priest, when he
reappears to complete the unfinished Mass
while the Cross glitters once more on Hagia
Sophia.
The loss of Thrace to Greece does not mean
the loss of Greek aspirations. Turkey is cer
tainly less formidable than she was a century
ago; she is no longer a power in Africa; Her
sway in Asia has been reduced; and she will
have to act warily in Europe with the eyes of
the little neighbor States fixed upon her. It is
calamitous that the close of the war did not see
proper restrictions applied to this malignant
anti-Christian factor.
The Turkish army had dwindled to ono-
fourth its size in 1914; and, to take England's
case alone, there was sufficient reason for stern
measures One-third of the British prisoners
taken by the Turks succumbed to neglect, and
the fate of missing thousands was never made
known. Vet. while Germany was forced to sur
render her armament, Turkey was exempted
from like penalty. Her heavy artillery, as the
Greeks discovered when prompted by the West
ern Powers to try their luck, was in perfect
working order. Turkey’s success was so com
plete that after 3,000 years the Greek race ex
ists no more in Asia Minor! Military victories
always find admirers and acclaimers, and so
we find that suddenly Mohammedanism lias be
come fashionable. Some months ago there was
an impressive Moslem celebration in a town of
Sussex, where sixty converts to Islam were re
ceived, and many in the assembly promised to
recruit actively for augmentation of the num
ber. One of the kindly patrons was a British
peer, Lord Headley, most influential of the
“ true believers’’ in England, who is responsi
ble for the building of an imposing mosque in
Liverpool. Turkey has plenty of friends nearer
home, where doubtful or tepid coreligionists
have gained fresh ardor by the triumph of Mus-
tapha Kemal.
“ The time has come,’’ said the Afghan En
voy, congratulating the conqueror of Smyrna
on the rout of the Christians, “when Heaven
sees fit to uplift the Moslem world, and pre
pare the restoration of the Caliphate to its pris
tine splendor.”
In Smyrna, the people, reliant on French
sympathy, manifested their joy so boisterously
as to alarm the French residents, who felt keen
ly that in the eyes of the turbulent masses they,
too, were “ Christians’5 like the “ Greek dogs”
just defeated. There were amicable remon
strances from the French authorities, which
had little result. A wealthy" Syrian had offered
a reward to the first Turk who planted the ban
ner of the Prophet on the walls of Smyrna, and
this man now became the hero of the hour.
The Arabs themselves, discontented at the
small territory given them for -a kingdom,
held moreover in tutelage by England, although
still.hostile to the Turks whose l’ule they dis
carded, are impressed by the hero of Angora,
the indomitable Kemal. The link of creed with
a victor is more potent than dislike of the sov
ereignty of the Sultan.
In Palestine it was seriously considered
whether Kemal should not be invited to relieve
the citizens from the Zionist domination foisted
on them by England. One cannot even hope
that the sad prospect of Islam, once more in
control of the holiest places on earth, should
bring together the nations built up on Christian
civilization, and inspire them to sink their
differences for the sake of their common de
fense, so long as the ominous move of Turkey-
back to Thrace is not only tolerated but conced
ed as a welcome event.

Eighteen THE ORANGE COUNTY REVIEW
The Count gambled heavily with a Pole
named Rogulski. Later his body was found by
gendarmes, frozen to death in a wood. Rogul-
ski explained, when questioned, that the Count
had lost severely while gambling with him and
that he was so enraged at this that he rushed
out of the house and so met his end in the
freezing night air. This explanation would
have passed muster but for the fact that the
Count was wearing patent leather slippers.
These slippers disproved the glib tale of the
Pole. There was no sign that the Count had
walked in them. They bore no trace of mud
nor any indication that he had been out of
doors at all.
The truth, as it came out later, was that Ro-
gulski was the loser and had paid his debt by
murder. He had drugged the Count with a
powerful narcotic, placed his helpless victim
on a sledge, dragged him into the wood and
then callously left him there to die.
The apparently insignificant point that all
tlie glass splinters from a broken window lay
outside a room convicted Courvoisier the
French valet of Lord John Russell, of the mur
der of his master. With calculated cunning he
stripped himself completely before he com
mitted the crime. So it left no trace upon
his clothes. Then lie broke the window of the
room to support his story that the murderer
had broken into the house. But he had forgot
ten to go outside to do it and so insure that
the broken glass would fall inside. It was this
fact that gave the clew to the criminal.
A curious error, due to the criminal’s ignor
ance of science, actually kept the evidence of
one murder intact for twelve months. The
murderer, after killing his victim, a woman,
placed the body in a dry cellar and covered it
with chloride of lime. He thought the lime
would destroy the identity of the body whereas
it did exactly the opposite. The body was in
such a good state of preservation a year after
the medical experts had no difficulty in estab
lishing through it the vital clew to the crime
and the criminal. If the man only had mixed
some water with the lime he might have escaped
detection.
A gold chain hanged another murderer. He
killed his wife and so cleverly destroyed all
possible clews on the scene of his crime that
the police were baffled completely. But he
made the fatal mistake of giving away to a girl
the gold chain which his wife had worn. This
was identified and led to his arrest and execu
tion.
A similar oversight caused the downfall of
the infamous Dr. Crippen. He was clever
enough to know that the use of liyoscin would
be safe, as its presence in the body of his wife
could not be traced. But he, too, despite his
coolness and calculation, made a fatal mistake.
This was to give his dead wife’s jewelry to his
sweetheart, Le Neve, to wear. It is possible
that even then he might have escaped if, at the
last moment, he had not taken to flight, with
the result that the police visited the house and
dug up the cellar, where he had buried the body
of his victim.
Another notorious murderer, who devised a
scheme as cunning as it was diabolical, did not
allow for the fact that while one crime may be
kept secret a succession of them must in the end
arouse attention. This was Smith, the man
responsible for the “brides in the bath” case.
He drowned no less than three women in their
baths and secured their insurance money. His
plan was to marry a woman with money, to
get an insurance on her life, and then to ar
range an accident in which his bride had appar
ently been suffocated in her bath after a faint
ing fit. It was so cleverly a fainting fit. It was
not until three women had met their ends in
this way that suspicion began to be directed
towards him. As a matter of fact at the first
two inquests verdicts of “ death from misad
venture” were returned.
When the third case occurred the co-incidence
was too ominous to be overlooked. It was im
possible to believe that all these women could
have married the same man, only to die by acci
dent in the same way, in each case enriching
the widower, without some human intervention.
Smith, like many cunning criminals, had over
reached himself. Though clever enough to
evade suspicion twice, he forgot the little fact
that even “ the long arm of coincidence” does
not reach quite so far as a third death of the
same kind among one man’s wives.
It is a good thing for society that the crim
inal often gives to the police, through the sim
plest of slips, the vital clew to his guilt. The
“ foolishnessproof ” criminal would be too great
a menace. Happily he does not Seem to exist,
except in the romantic pages of fiction.

THE ORANGE COUNTY REVIEW Twenty-Three
A Convention in Perspective
By Katherine Elspeth Oliver
O RANGE COUNTY had a rare privilege
recently: that of entertaining the annual
convention of the state federation of
music clubs.
The daily papers in accordance with their
particular function gave the affair generous
publicity with the result that the details of the
conference are now an old story. The more
pertinent and permanent impressions of such
a conference require some measure of perspec
tive in order to define them and time is required
to “ register” their effect in the community in
which the event is held.
Personally the writer w7as one of many who,
outside the trend of music affairs, felt not a
little curiosity as to the functions and purposes
of a music convention.
A political convention, a business convention
—a convention of the Elks, the Lions or other
members of the zoo-logical brotherhood—a con
vention of the Amalgamated Window Wipers
of the World—we are all acquainted with such
assemblies: these have their .society’s politics
to do, wires to pull, offices to fill, things to be
put over. But a convention of music people.
We have never associated the aforementioned
activities with such folk. We’ve always thought
of the artist and the musician as a people apart
—formed to live in a realm of idealism and art
from which should they descend to common
soil and offices would certainly lose their use-
fulness to the world.
Just what is the object of the State federa
tion of music clubs—what do music people
want of organization—what will a convention
of music clubs accomplish? These were ques
tions asked with some skepticism by the mere
layman, previous to the coming of the confer
ence to Santa Ana.
The first justification of the music people’s
convention appearing to those in attendance
was of a personal character. The pleasure of
listening to such musical treats as the Orange
County Choral Union’s splendid rendering of
the “ Golden Legend,” under the accomplished
direction of Mr. Ellis Rhodes, the evening of
American Music prepared by some dozen of
the State’s best known musicians, and that im
perial musical offering, the Flonzaley quar
tette—to say nothing of the afternoon with
the accomplished young winners of the amateur
music contest, and the superb closing entertain
ment by the Broadway chorus—such a feast,
alone, would justify an annual assembly of the
musicians of the state.
Again, the pleasure of having a face to face,
and hand to hand acquaintance with the music
people of the state, distinguished folk, house
hold names gratefully enshrined because of the
cultural gifts they have contributed—this again
is another fine privilege of the convention.
The social features of the convention—the
luncheons, banquet and reception hours—were
noteworthy as occasions—not of dry formality
but real pleasure. These were no “kid glove”
affairs but a sort of family reunion of the mu
sic folk into the cordial spirit of which even
the hardened pen men and women were irre-
sistably drawn and yielded gratefully to the
charm and bonhomie that prevailed.
That eminent trio of presiding geniuses, Mrs.
Lillian Birmingham, Mr. Gustlin and Mr. Be-
heymer, invariably keyed the after-dinner feli
cities to an informal pitch—a sort of “ toss
ball” affair where the surprised guest had no
time for conjuring oratorical effects or fine
phrasing, and real spontaneity and wit pre
vailed.
Another distinguishing feature of these occa
sions was the fact that in no instance was the
object of the convention—the business in hand
-—made an object for jocular remark or a theme
upon which the speaker whetted his wit. Some
deep personal reverence for the ideals in the
name of which they were met, spared reference
to the name of music in a flippant relation. This
may seem a small matter, yet how often the
fun feature of a convention has been turned
into an occasion of such raillery as had the ef
fect, even in the minds of the “hard boiled”
reporters of absolutely annulling the motives
and ideals for which the meeting was called. A
real lover of art and beauty does not use his
classic vase upon which to scratch his match,
and a man’s, or an assembly’s ideals may be
judged by the handling they receive when the
devotee is at play.
Altogether, as a rather “ case hardened” con
vention goer, the writer was more than pleased
with the seriousness with which the music peo
ple considered their responsibility in regard to
musical ideals of musical art.
The theme of the artist’s passion for his
ideals has been so capitalized by films and

Twenty-four THE ORANGE COUNTY REVIEW
fiction as to have its significance and even cred
ibility impaired, but the fact remains, that art,
music, is a real element in life—an appeal to
the spirit, indisputable; and that the real ar
tist who yields himself to this appeal, who
makes the art of music a study and a consecra
tion—grows a loyalty to that art that takes
the form of an ideal: precious, inviolable—a
religion, a faith—perhaps it is not too much
to say—a way to God. And that this Ideal be
comes thereafter an object to he championed—
defended—exalted—with all the power of his
will and strength.
Something of this fidelity and zeal, like the
flash of the gold in the quartz, was revealed in
the many addresses and conferences of the con
vention, and the unstudied utterances of the
musicians at the informal assemblies, causing
the heart to thrill with the knowledge that the
servers at the shrine are keeping pledge. The
same zeal spoke in the unfeigned pleasure of
the older musicians present in the accomplish
ment of the younger. The young amateur’s con
tests which the federation is fostering is an
exemplification of the same spirit—the passing
on of the “ torch.” It was with pride that
Orange County members acclaimed one of their
own young musicians as among the successful
contestants. Little Miss Hardy of Balboa, who
is expected to give a fine account of herself next
month at the annual convention of the national
federation of music clubs.
The day devoted to public school music was
an illuminating one to the man or woman un
familiar with the amazing development of this
phase of public school instruction. It is prob
able that the average citizen and taxpayer has
no idea of the amount of money and attention
expended upon music—that which fifteen to
twenty years ago was considered a mere accom
plishment. Four years of musical training in
practically any line of musical accomplishment
he elects is now available for the public school
student by means of the school glee club, or
chestra, band and the individual lessons avail
able for him in many schools.
With the conviction that this education is
as valuable in its particular service to the
mind and heart of the child as any other study
of the school course, the federation is drawing
under its expansive wings—to promote and to
foster—the various music organizations of the
school.
Church music was another aspect of the con
vention’s theme given discussion and able ex
emplification.
Personally, if “ Sunday School Music” or
“ Young People’s Music” had been the theme
some of us would have been given outlet for
long pent up emotion.
AYe have banished in the public school, the
primer containing the ancient inanities of
“John and Mary” and substituted little class
ics for the Beginners. We have made the dis
covery that the child is peculiarly susceptible
to the ideals in art, and we have set him to
learning the music of the masters. Why then,
do we impose upon him in the Sunday School,
music utterly lacking in elements of beauty or
appropriateness—mere tinkle set to a denatur-
ized kind of jazz, evidently with the motive of
cheating him into feeling that he is attending
the “movies” !
Why, instead of the noble hymns that breathe
reverence, zeal and the militant voice of the
advancing church are our young people as
signed the sentimental jingles with their syn
copated choruses (“ sing and repeat, whist
ling”) that are invariably collected in the song
books “ for the young.” Have we not heard
that youth—adolescence—is the hour for the
High Call and the Splendid Challenge, the time
when the heart of the normal boy and girl
repudiates the common and cries for the Ideal!
Perhaps the next music convention will come
to their help.
“ Industrial music”—the convention conun
drum !
The uninstructed mind easily conjures the
song of the sewing machine, the music of the
vacuum cleaner; the “ anvil chorus,” perhaps,
or the high staccato of the builder’s rivetter on
the twentieth story girder.
Nothing of the kind. This is “ sure ’nuf”
music—music of humans—the music of eighty-
two humans—to be accurate—members of the
industrial chorus of the Broadway Department
Store of Los Angeles, in their superb rendition
of the cantata, the Rose Maiden, the conclud
ing number of the convention.
It was an impressive and splendid revela
tion.
And later we heard Ben Pearson, one of the
department heads of the great store, speak—
not of commercial successes—stories of profit
and loss—but with an enthusiasm and sincerity
not often heard, telling of the inspirational
value of the big chorus to the sales force and
heads of his store and his personal sentiments
in regard to music as a definite spiritual ele
ment, elevating and purifying the mind of the
individual and harmonizing the aspirations and
sympathies of the working body.
Others, members of the chorus and men of

responsibility and worth, seconded Mr. Pear
son’s testimony. It was an impressive endorse
ment from practical men—men of the material
world—concerning the value of art as an ideal
possessed of definite human functioning of in
valuable nature.
Many other phases of music and its interest
were touched upon: the emphasis upon the Am
erican—the home artist as opposed to the im
ported was made; the defeat of “jazzmania”
determined, matters of state and national fed
eration discussed. The entire justification of
adding a music convention to the convention-rid
times was proven by the useful fruits of the
federation’s activity.
In the face of the organization’s more than
full program of work it might seem presump
tuous for a mere layman to have conceived of
one thing more the federation might usefully
do; namely to encourage the graduates from
our music departments of the public school to
maintain alumni musical organizations—for
the benefit of the community which has paid
so generously for their musical training. The
community chorus—the community orchestra
and band, formed of the young people gradu
ated from our public schools making grateful
return for the favors they have received.
If music is indeed the fine and useful and
beautiful thing its disciples claim and such
conventions and assemblies as that recently
held testify, then it is indeed a great privilege
and an act of real citizenship and patriotic ser
vice to charm with the magic of that supple
bow—the art of those accomplished fingers and
voices, the dissonent elements of one’s home
town, to invite the fagged business man and
the tired worker, busy and anxious women,
to an hour of relaxation and pleasure—an
hour of delightful oblivion from which they
will emerge rested, cheered, to mingle with one
another and do their work in a new spirit of
harmony and understanding because they have
known together the great experience of a high
emotion shared.
This would indeed be a great and fine thing
for any boy or girl to accomplish for his “home
Twenty-five
town” and his “home folks.” It would be a
nne and great thing for the State Federation
of Music to help tiie boys and girls do it, and
thus set the capstone of accomplishment upon
the projected program for the benefit of Cali
fornia and her people.

SUPERVISORS HEAR EINAL REPORTS
OJ?’ HARBOR COMMISSION
SANTA ANA, June 26.—Final reports of the
Orange County Harbor Commission, active for
late m 1915 in the development of the harbor
at Newport Beach, was tiled with the board of
supervisors shortly before noon today, in which
the harbor commission recommends a million
dollar bond issue at once for further develop
ment and details how all of the $500,000 voted
was spent.
The report was taken under advisement by
the board, and if accepted the commission will
be discharged and their bonds released. A new
commission is to be appointed, according to I he
laws, to carry on the development work.
The following is a summary of the recom
mendations :
Immediate $1,000,000 bond issue for building
east jetty, dredging entrance and lengthening
west jetty, and deepening and dredging en
trance to harbor.
Appointment of committee to go to Washing
ton in November to work for federal appropria
tion for harbor.
Immediate construction of $40,000 wharf and
warehouses.
County owned railroad belt line.
Court actions at once on land titles. All
titles approved by courts.

JOINT MEETING OF TRUSTEES ON
COUNTY SEWER PROJECT
Members of the city boards of trustees of
Santa Ana, Orange and Fullerton were pres
ent at the meeting of the Anaheim board of
trustees on the evening of July 12 when bids
were opened for construction of the last part
of the sewer to the sea project of these cities.
According to City Manager O. E. Stewart
of Anaheim, the bids probably will be referred
to a committee for final award at the earliest
possible date in order that work may get under
way as soon as possible.
The sewer line will pass through Garden
Grove and that community is desirous of join
ing in the project. As yet however, no plan has
been worked out by residents of that commu
nity but several prominent residents and prop
erty holders there are trying to devise suitable
means to join the project.
As the time for starting work on the sewer
project approaches, many other communities of
Northern Orange county are contemplating
plans for joining in the project, either on a
rental basis or by paying for their share of con
struction. Efforts are under way at La Habra,
Brea and Placentia to join the project in some
manner that will care for the sanitary condi
tions of the prospective communities.
The cities of Anaheim, Fullerton, Orange
and Santa Ana, through their boards of trus
tees, it is understood are favorable to letting all
of these communities join if they can devise a
feasible way to finance the plan.
TWO MEMBERS COUNTY BOARD OF
EDUCATION RE-NAMED
C. C. Smith of Anaheim and Geo. C. Sher

extension of the present city delivery district,
embracing the Elk’s Park Tract, N. Clementine
street, extension of Zeyn Tract, Diamond and
Pearl street Tract, Nut Grove, Rose and Bush
Streets, Cherry Street and West Broadway,
beyond Walnut street. The contemplated ex

delivery territory.
“ Rural Extensions are also contemplated,
comprising upward of 10 miles additional ter
ritory to be served.
“ Both, rural and city delivery extensions
are now pending and it is confidently expected
that all of these contemplated improvements
will be granted at an early date.”
EIGHT STORY ANAHEIM BANK IS
ASSURED
ANAHEIM, June 29.—Anaheim will have a
new bank in a new building which will be the
highest building in Orange county, it became
known today at the conclusion of a meeting of
directors of the Anaheim Savings Bank held
in the directors’ room of the First National
Bank.
The proposed building will be erected at the
corner of East Center and Claudina streets by
Samuel Kraemer, plans for which are drawn
by Architect M. Eugene Durfee and work will

PREPARE TO DRILL WELL IN EAST
ANAHEIM
ANAHEIM, July 4.-----Lumber for the first
rig in what is believed to be the next big oil
field is being assembled on the “ Billy” Wag
ner property in the East Anaheim district
where the first oil well will be drilled, it was
announced today by some persons who were
in Anaheim and who are Vitally interested,
having land in that vicinity under oil lease.
The rig is being constructed for the Stand
ard Oil Company which has leases on approxi
mately 1,000 acres from the eastern city limits
of Anaheim to the river. Work of drilling the
first well is expected to be underway within
60 or 90 days, it is said by parties who have
leased their oil rights to this company.
From the date the first drill starts, everyone
will be watching this field until something
definite is known of the oil possibilities.

Twenty-eight THE ORANGB COUNTY REVIEW
BOARD ACCEPTS CITY HALL PLANS
FOR FULLERTON
FULLERTON, June 13.—It is anticipated
that specifications for construction of the new
City Hall in Fullerton will be completed by
July 15 and immediately following this, actual
construction will start, following final approval
of the revised drawings by the city hoard of
trustees at their regular meeting last night,
when Architect Horace Austin of Long Beach,
appeared in person and explained the plans as
redrawn.
The final plans call for a large auditorium
in the basement, where public gatherings can
be held. This room will be provided with a
projection room from which motion pictures or
stereopticon pictures can he flashed. When the
occasion arises, this large assembly room can
be used for a ballroom with dancing. Just
across the hall from the auditorium is a kitchen,
where refreshments can be prepared and at
each corner are large lodge rooms, one for
women’s organizations, and another for men’s
organizations.
On the main floor is located the offices of the
city clerk and water departments with their
respective clerical accommodations. The offices
are arranged so as to provide the best possible
efficiency for all. A large court surrounded by
colonades is in the center of the main floor
and extends on up through the second floor.
It is the hope of the city trustees to have
the building under way in the immediate future
that it may be completed during the present
year. \
INCREASED SCHOOL ATTENDANCE AT
FULLERTON
There is no surer indication of the growth
of the city than its school population. At the
opening of the fall term in 1922 there were
approximately 1000 grammar school pupils en
rolled. With the opening of the new term in
September there will be in excess of 1500, ac
cording to figures now in the hands of the Ful
lerton educational authorities.
This means that at least 200 families will
have made their home in Fullerton during the
summer months.
PROF. PLUMMER REMAINS AT HEAD
FULLERTON HIGH SCHOOL
FULLERTON, June 26.—Louise E. Plum
mer, supervising principal of the Fullerton
union high school and junior college, ended his
four-year contract with the close of the present
term. He has entered into a contract with the
trustees for another four-year period, it was
announced after a meeting of the high school
board of trustees Friday.

FULLERTON PERMITS $148,785 THIS
MONTH
Building permits were issued in Fullerton
during June covering improvements amounting
to $148, 785, more than double the same period
last year, E. S. Richman, Fullerton building in
spector, announced today.
Richman said that permits have more than
doubled every month this year, except March.
The California hotel permit was taken out in
March a year ago; and this year’s permits
were not able to overcome it, he said. Most
of the permits taken out this month were for
residences, he said. The permits for June last
year amounted to $66,625.
New permits issued include: Tom Vernon,
residence on W. Ash street, $3300; L. J. Ellis,
residence E. Ash street, $3500.
FULLERTON LIBRARY CIRCULATION
82,780
The total circulation for the year up to June
23 at the Fullerton library was 82,780, accord
ing to the report of Miss Minnie Maxwell, li
brarian. This is an increase of , 12.7 per cent
over last year’s circulation, which was 73,401.
The total cost of library service for the year
has been $10,119.07, an average of 12.2 cents per
volume circulated. Many thousands of books
and periodicals have been used in the library,
but of those no record has been kept.

THE ORANGE COUNTY REVIEW Twenty—nine
Brooks and Skidmore Brothers interests have
purchased of the Yoche corporation the site in
Laguna Canyon at the 90 degree curve 41 acres
of the most beautiful mountainous country near
Laguna Beach for a consideration of $12,000.
This wonderful strip of land running from the
curved road to the top of the foothills will be
dedicated to Laguna Beach in commemoration
of the late Nathan Brooks, the father of Laguna
Beach, by Mrs. Brooks and the children, who
hold their step-father in such high esteem.
A bronze tablet will be placed on “ Pulpit
Bock” on the property, dedicating the park to
the memory of this grand old man. The site
will be given to the city as soon as it is in a
position to accept the deed.
Joe Skidmore has formulated plans for ex
tensive improvements on the several acres of
level land at the foot of the wooded rocky
slope. Tennis courts and a baseball diamond
are planned. There is a wonderful site for a
natural theater on the hillside, where a stage
50 feet across is planned. The acoustic powers
are perfect, the ordinary speaking voice carry
ing to the top of the opposite hillside where
a gradual slope will make ideal seating arrange
ment, possible for thousands of people. An
open dancing pavilion is planned amid the
trees, a straight wall of rock forming a natural
background. There are fine old sycamore trees
overhanging winding paths over the hills back
into flower sprinkled dells—ideal lovers’ lanes.
There are endless possibilities for the enthusi
astic hiker.
Mr. Skidmore plans to improve the property
gradually and will make certain restrictions in
the deed for the carrying out of his ideas. Mr.
Skidmore will build a small stone lodge for his
own private use near the summit where a great
rocky ledge overhangs the hillside. The be
quest to the city will be made with the under
standing that the park is to be always for the
use of the public. No charges are to be made
except for the raising of public benefit funds.
The deal is now in escrow at Santa Ana.

Thirty THE ORANGE COUNTY REVIEW
AUTOMOBILE, TRACTOR AND TRUCK
WORLD CENSUS OF AU
TOMOTIVE VEHICLES
A rather strong side light is
cast upon American civiliza
tion, in a material way, by the
latest registration census of
motor vehicles completed hy
the United States Automotive
Division. It shows that out of
every six motor cars and
trucks in the world, five are
operated within the United
States. The world’s combined
total of passenger cars and
motor trucks is given as 14,-
622,161, of which 12,357,376, or
eighty-four per cent, are with
in our boundaries. The motor
trucks, numbering 1,763,378,
account for only twelve per
cent of the total world regis
tration ; the remaining eighty-
eight per cent consist of 12,-
858,783 passenger cars. In
many foreign countries econ
omy has made motorcycles
more popular than low-priced
passenger cars. There are
683,365 such machines owned
abroad, or three times as many
as are registered in the United
States.
ROAD HOGS DE LUXE
The road hog has changed a
lot in the past 10 years. Occa
sionally he will burn the road
and give everybody his dust,
but his methods are more skill
ful nowadays and far more an
noying and dangerous.
When you are trying to pass
by him on the road—and when
you have every reason to be in
a hurry—he will speed up a
little, just enough to keep yon
guessing as to whether you are
going to get by or get hit by
the car approaching.
When you are in a hurry to
buy gas you will find him
parking his car directly in
front of the pump while he
tinkers with his engine. When
you have pulled up ahead of
a parking space which you in
tend backing into he will come
up behind you and sound his
horn because he wants the
space.
His methods are so de luxe
nowadays that he doesn’t both
er to confine his hoggishness.to
the highways. As a matter of
fact he plays road hog just as
expertly when he is in the gar
age. For doesn’t he invariably
race his engine or let it idle
whenever the man next to him
is trying to work on his car?
A favorite stunt is to park
his car so close to yours that
you couldn’t get away with a
shoe-horn. If he has bumpers
on his car he doesn’t care if he
does hit you; it’s nothing to
him. If there is parking space
for two cars he will always
leave his in such a way that
you could make use of the oth
er space by cutting your car
into two sections.
He may have all the latest
equipment but if you will look
him over carefully you’ll see
that he is none other than the
time- honored road ho g,
brought down to date. Let’s
make automotive pork out of
him!
DIESEL ENGINE RACK
AGAIN
Will the Diesel engine final
ly be adapted to replace the
spark ignition engine now used
to propel automobiles
This question, recurrent al
most annually since the inven
tion of the automobile, faces
its last repetition with the an
nouncement from Paris of the
invention of a semi-Diesel type
of engine for motor cars.
At the very beginning of the
automobile industry, use of a
Diesel engine was attempted
on automobiles. But, although
used for stationary purposes
and in submarines, the engine
would not work well in a mov
ing, vibrating machine.
The engine, with spark igni
tion, that has replaced the
Diesel, however, uses up costly
gasoline, while the air-com
pression engine feeds on a
cheap, low grade of oil. A
combination of the good in
both of these engines, there
fore, would make an ideal pow
er plant for automobiles.
This ideal—or the nearest to
it—French automotive engi
neers believe is finally attained
in the semi-Diesel automobile
engine tested recently on a trip
between Paris and Bordeaux.
The engine, according to re
ports, burns low-grade oil
which costs 12 cents a gallon
in France, as compared with
Special Body Building, California Tops, Body Covering, High Class Painting

THE ORANGE COUNTY REVIEW Thirty-one
56 cents for gasoline. At the
same time it retains the advan
tages of the spark-ignition en
gine now in use.
Besides, its inventors say,
the semi-Diesel costs less for
upkeep and is simpler and
therefore cheaper to make
than the present type. Exper
iments are still going on, with
the idea of installing the en
gine on Paris busses.
STIRRING CLAN SPIRIT
While the nation concerns
itself with the Ku Klux motor
ists may be interested to know
that plans are afoot for the
revival of that clan spirit
which prevailed in automobile
circles in the old days. Once
upon a time if a man met an
other man who drove the same
make of car a salute was
passed. Folk who cast their lot
with a particular make of car
felt that they had joined a
club; and as loyal members
they made it a point to be club
by with all who boasted of the
same radiator monogram.
Frequently motorists stuck
to their clan because thev knew
tbev were “ stuck.” Misery
loved companionship. But
this “ root for your home
team” spirit did much to en
gender a spirit of rivalry
among competing manufactur
ers and those who supported
them; and any old timer will
admit that the benefits enjoyed
by the car owner were in direct
proportion to his interest in
his particular clan.
Then came an era of tremen
dous expansion, with all kinds
of people taking to the wheel,
and little time for the further
development of the clan idea.
We are just at the fag end of
this period with the beginning
of the new year; and the new
tobacco which we are urged to
put in our pipes and smoke is
to be the old clan spirit done
up in a new package.
One of the large quantity
producers of motor cars has
discovered that thousands of
its stockholders are driving
other makes of cars. It is go
ing to try to make rooters of
investors, and discourage the
habit of deserting one’s clan
“ just for a change.” It seems
logical. And if it will help to
revive some of those ideas of
courtesy and motor chivalry
we’ll say it’s essential as well.
TEST YOUR MIXTURE
Carburetors can be made to
supply safe mixtures or dang
erous ones— a fact which very
few drivers appreciate. Your
carburetor should be adjusted
so that stepping on the accel
erator will make the car jump
out of danger. Test it today
and be on the safe side. If
stepping on the accelerator
chokes the motor and causes it
to slow down your mixture is
as dangerous as brakes that
fail.
TWO TRAFFIC TRICKS
Watch out for street car
switches when driving in the
car tracks and abreast of other
machines. The front wheels
may follow the curve of the
switch and swing the front of
the car into the machine beside
it.
In an emergency where the
quickest possible stop means
everything don’t be afraid to
shift to reverse after locking
the wheels with the brakes. It
is true that a car cannot be
shifted to reverse while it is
rolling forward, but when it
is sliding the rear wheels are
not revolving and shifting to
reverse is as easy as though
the car were standing still. But
let in the clutch before releas
ing the brakes. The wheels
will then tend to pull the car
backwards.

WHY?
THERE’S A REASON!
Here’s the Answer in a Word
“Superiority”
*
Courtesy of the Local History Room, Fullerton Public Library
THE OKANliK COUNTY REVIEW Thirty-three
DID YOU KNOW—
That engineers are at vari
ance regarding the proper
weight for a crankshaft? One
eight-cylinder car developing
105 horsepower uses a shaft
weighing only 30 pounds while
an SO horsepower six carries
a 110-lb. shaft. Both cars base
freedom from vibration on the
shaft they use. The mystery
of it is that the claims in both
cases are well founded; vibra
tion is at a minimum in each.
The layman might conclude
that perhaps the weight of the
crankshaft is not so important
a factor in vibration as the en
gineers believe. Else why
should one extreme be as sat
isfactory as another?# * #
That a battery gives less
trouble if it is not entirely cov
ered with metal? Fumes from
a battery should not be con
fined, for if they are the box
will suffer and the cells will
eventually leak. It is a good
idea, however, to see that the
bottom of the battery is pro
tected against water, dust, oil
and stones thrown up from the
road.
PRIDE AND POLISH
Public garages are not al
ways as we would like to have
them, particularly in these
days when our cars are often
mistaken for sardines, but the
public garage has one very in
teresting advantage over the
private garage. When you
climb over bumpers and trunk
racks to get to your car in the
morning you are certain to
note that the hood of your car
isn’t quite as highly polished
as someone else’s, and a sense
of pride is bound to encourage
yTou to spend a few minutes
making the car look better.
When you keep your car in a
private garage, however, the
bus looks good enough to you
in the morning. You discover
your mistake later in the day,
but then it’s too late to doll
up. It’s a fact that one new
car in a public garage will sell
more bottles of polish than a
thousand form letters address
ed to car owners.
AVOIDING THE SKID
Locking the wheels is almost
as certain to produce a skid
with chains as without them,
for the reason that the cross
chains tend to spread and per
mit the tread of the tire to
come into direct contact with
the road surface. The most
effective stop can be made by
locking the wheels momentar
ily, releasing them and locking
them again, repeating the pro
cess if necessary. In this way
the cross chains do the work
of gripping the road before
having a chance to spread.
WHEN BRAKES CAPER
Don’t be alarmed if the
brakes seem to act strange
some winter evening. Fre
quently during the thawing
process of the day water will
be splashed all over the brake
assemblies only to freeze when
the temperature drops at sun
down. When this happens the
emergency brake may be hard
to release, while the service
brake will take hold with the
slightest pressure of the foot.
After a few miles of action,
however, the brakes will act
normally again. But in the
meantime it is well to guard
against too sudden application
of the brakes.
USE MORE LUBRICANT
Few car owners realize that
the one time in the year when
the spring shackle bolts and
other exposed bearings of the
chassis need constant greasing
is winter. Driving over hard
packed snow and ice is exactly
like bouncing over a country
road in summer. Add to this

the fact that oil and grease do
not flow as freely in cold
weather as in hot and the im
portance of lavishing these ex
tensively is readily seen.
HANDLE WITH CARE
Polks who are enthusiastic
over the automobile and its
great importance in transpor
tation too frequently skip over
the fact that an automobile
also is an article of danger.
Probably half the accidents in
the country are due to the fact
that drivers do not appreciate
the hazardous nature of auto-
mobiling. A new driver never
learns how careful he should
be when driving a car until he
has run into something and
had a taste of the danger that
is ever present. One promi
nent traffic expert has stated
that the only way to reduce the
number of accidents is to im
press upon drivers the thought
that a motor car is a dangerous
article. He believes that when
they see the fact clearly they
will face it with common sense
driving.
When a driver passes an ap
proaching street car he gets as
far away from it as possible,
not because he is afraid of
damaging the traction com
pany’s property but because
he instinctively feels that a
street car is a dangerous thing
to meddle with. Yet he will
pass a motor car weighing four
or five thousand pounds so
close that the hubs almost
touch.
How many drivers realize
that at a speed of 30 miles an
hour their car is traveling
through space at the rate of 44
feet a second? How many
drivers have any conception of
the amount of damage 3.000
pounds can inflict when hurling
through space at such a furi
ous rate? When a freight car
rolls along at only five miles an
hour a motorist will shun it
like poison, yet it is not capa
ble of doing any more damage
than a heavy machine doing
60.
The sooner we cease to re
gard the motor car as a toy the
sooner will motorists cease to
figure so conspicuously in the
accident reports.
LET’S LOOK AROUND
Texas led all other states in
the matter of road building in
1922, having added 933 miles
during the year. The average
for all states was 200 miles.
Sometimes it is a good idea to
stop planning what we’re go
ing to do just for a moment
in order to contemplate what
we have accomplished. Five
years of this sort of progress
and traveling salesmen will be
the envy of all who know the
joy of a good car and a good
road.
THIS AND THAT
Looking back over the list of
once famous cars that are no
more it is apparent that every
car has its day. Perhaps some
of the cars named after astro
nomical bodies will break the
spell by shining at night as
well.# # #
Finally the riddle of the cen
turies has been solved; a chick
en crosses the road for the
same reason that a motorist
crosses railroad tracks without
looking.# # #
It’s a wise man who knows
his own Ford when he goes to
the service station to take it
home again.
In one respect big cars can
not excel small cars—neither
can go any farther than its
owner’s bankroll—or credit.

BUILDING AND REAL ESTATE
SALE CONTRACT IMPORTANT TO
REALTY MEN
By Carlos G. White
Attorney for Oakland Real Estate Board
The law of California draws a distinction
between contracts between brokers to share
commissions and contracts between owners or
others employing an agent or broker to sell
land. The latter type of contracts, those em
ploying agents or brokers to sell land, must
be in writing in order to be enforced by legal
action.
Even though a broker can produce a score
of witnesses to testify that an owner orally
authorized to sell the land and that he fully
performed and made the sale on the owner’s
terms, such testimony will not be received, and
the law can afford the broker no relief against
+he owner’s denial of a contract. A moral
obligation is c rea ted , but none that can be en
forced by law.
However, a simple writing in such a case
would protect a broker. For example, the fol
lowing has been held to be sufficient written
evidence of the broker’s employment to sell:
“ John Jones, broker—I own premises known
as 1)999 First street, Oakland, Cal. My price
is: $10 000. Get me an offer. John Smith, Nov.
1, 1920.” Such a writing is not to be recom
mended as a general form, but in an emer-
gencv some such simple written evidence of au
thority should be secured instead of merely
relying upon an ora! request that may be for
gotten or disputed.
Originally oral contracts on all subjects were
valid. Subsequently the law required certain
specified kinds of contracts to be in writing in
order to be legally recognized. California, how
ever, does not require a written contract as
between brokers where they either enter into
a partnership in the real estate business or
agree to divide as between themselves the com
pensation to be secured by one of them from
an owner, nor in the case where one of them,
having a contract from the owner, agrees to
pay another broker for assisting in the sale.
The law requiring a written contract of em
ployment in cases of real estate brokerage was
designed for the protection of owners and buy
ers against unfounded claims of employment
and not for the protection of one broker against
another. Contracts between brokers for the div
ision of commissions are legally recognized and
enforced, even when such contracts are entirely
oral.
CAL. MECCA FOR HOME SEEKERS,
SAYS KEISER
Stating that California is virtually without
competition as a mecca for colonists and home-
seekers, Edwin T. Keiser, state real estate
commissioner, pre-cast a rosy future for the
state.
Having returned only recently from the con
ference of directors of the National Real Estate
association held at Jacksonville, Fla., Mr. Keis
er based liis statements on observations and
studies made in several states and on utterances
of prominent realty brokers of the South and
East.
“ I found on my trip that many persons ev
erywhere are looking toward California as
a place where they expect to make their
homes,” lie said, “ despite my former belief
that certain states visited were dangerous com
petitors for colonists and home-seekers.”
“ On considering now the favorable condi
tions and great potential resources of Califor
nia, I am sure we need not fear any competition
whatsoever. • California has virtually every
thing that any other state in the Union pos
sesses.
“ When it comes to products we can raise
almost any kind of grain cultivated in the na
tion. Cotton is harvested in abundance in the
Colorado river and San Joaquin valleys. Cali
fornia grows virtually every fruit. And when
it comes to manufacturing we find almost every
thing that is essential in that line.
“ Our mountain streams hold the potential
power necessary to smelt our ores and run all
our plants. Our location on the Pacific ocean
gives a water outlet to every country in the
world, and we have the markets.
“ Europe is bankrupt, but the Oriental na
tions have money, and Japan is now our best
customer for many products. China is trading
with us more and more, which is very encour
aging when we consider her 400,000,000 popu
lation.
“As for real estate, it seems to me that we
are justified in concluding that in the very near
future there is going to be a much more active
demand for California land.

AN ADVENTURE IN
ALASKA
By Arthur Barry
Johnnie Flannagan lived,
with his father and mother, in
a rustic hut, covered with
branches and skins, away up
in Alaska. His father had
come from Ireland many years
before to seek his fortune in
Canada. He had failed to find
that fortune in either Montreal
or Quebec; and Johnnie had
experienced pretty hard times,
poor clothes and dry bread,
even before the father, Tim
othy Flannagan—“Wandering
Tim” as he had been called in
his native Tipperary,—caught
the gold fever and started for
the Alaskan district. Johnnie’s
mother and Johnnie accompa
nied him throughout the whole
long, fatiguing, and very often
dangerous journey.
At last the trip was com
pleted ; and father, mother and
Johnnie (already well-grown,
though he was only twelve
years old), were installed on
the banks of a river in whose
bed they sought for gold dust
and nuggets. While others
around them, however, seemed
to find the sparkling metal in
paying quantities, the Flanna-
gans had very bad luck, and
it was as much as they could
do to support themselves and
put away some provisions for
the long, long winter.
Just now the sun, red and
dull, showed only halfway
above the horizon. The waters
of the river were asleep under
a thick blanket of ice; and, on
this particular day of which we
are writing, Johnnie’s sorrow
ful eyes were watching the
slow-falling, monotonous snow
flakes increasing the thickness
of the white robe covering the
wide-extending plain. What
was to become of them in this
solitude? It almost seemed to
the boy that horrible phantoms
were passing in the sombre
twilight.
Suddenly a dark shadow ap
peared at Johnnie’s feet. It
had come silently over the
snow; and, as the boy turned
to see what it was, all that was
visible were two sparkling eyes
and an indistinct form. John
nie uttered a cry of terror and
stepped back. But then he
heard a plaintive whine, and
the next moment a rough
tongue was licking his hands.
It was a half-frozen, half-fam
ished dog.
“ Poor fellow!” said John
nie. “You are a good Esqui
maux dog, all right; but you
have either lost your master
or he is dead. And now I won
der who will want to feed you
in these hard times ? ’ ’
The dog continued to lick
the boy’s hands, and his eyes
wore a piteous look, while his
sides shook as he stood tremb
ling on his feet.
“ Come, Johnnie!” cried the
father’s voice from inside the
hut. “Do you want your sup
per? It’s a rather lean meal,
but we won’t die of hunger yet
a while, please Gfod.”
Johnnie went in, and on his
steps followed timidly the
gaunt shadow with the appeal
ing eyes.
“ Hello! What’s this? A
dog? Are you bringing us a
guest? Turn him out and let
his owner feed him. He’s
probably better off than we
are. ’ ’
“ 0 father, let me give him
a little soup tonight! Tom
Morris, I know, is looking for
an Esquimaux dog to buy. To
morrow I ’ll take this poor fel
low over to him.”
The boy had his way. The
dog ate with relish; and when
the family retired for the night
he stretched himself at John
nie’s feet. On awaking the
next morning, Johnnie felt the
dog pulling at his sleeve. Then
he barked softly, ran to the
door, came back to the boy,
caught him by the sleeve again.

and tried to pull him towards
the outside of the hut.
“ He evidently wants to taks
me somewhere,” thought
Johnnie; and, telling his par
ents he was going out for a
while, he folloived the animal’s
lead. The dog turned without
hesitation to the north and
trotted along, with the boy be
hind him, for a full hour. Then
as they skirted a hill and en
tered a narrow valley, the dog
stopped and began to howl.
Looking closely, Johnnie saw
that, the snow carpet seemed
to he a little above the level
just behind a big rock. Using
the light pickaxe that he al
ways carried in the belt
around his waist, he cleared
away some branches and skins
that had formed the roof of a
cabin that had collapsed; and
all at once he came upon a hu
man hand, that of the owner
who had been buried in its
ruins.
A thpill of terror passed
through the boy at the grue
some sight; but he pluckily
resolved to uncover the entire
body in order to give it proper
burial—if, indeed, the man
were really dead. He worked
for a good while, the body be
ing under a lot of debris, but
finally he succeeded in remov
ing it, and found before him
the corpse of a miner, lying
with his face on the ground.
There was a gaping wound on
the back of the skull. Evident
ly the heaviest beam of his
house had fallen on him as he
slept. One hand was pressed
against a leather bag suspend
ed from the neck. Johnnie op
ened the bag and uttered a cry
of astonishment: it was full of
dull but precious nuggets. And,
moreover, the miner’s belt (a
hollow one) was filled with
sparkling gold dust.
Johnnie hurried home and
brought back his father. They
searched everywhere to find
some clue to the identity of the
dead man, but in vain. They
inquired of other goldseekers,
with the same result. The
dog’s master had been an un
known adventurer; and, ac
cording to the custom of the
country, all his effects, even
the claim lie had been working,
became the property of Mr.
Flannagan.
A month later a large and
solid cabin sheltered “Wan
dering Tim” with his wife and
son. The snow was still whirl
ing about, even to the horizon;
but Johnnie’s thoughts, as he
watched it, were no longer sad
or gloomy. There was a dark
shadow at his feet also, but the
brilliant eyes shone now from
a body that was no longer ema
ciated. “Nugget,” as Johnnie
had named his (which of
course he had not sold to Tom
Morris), was comfortably
stretched out at the feet of his
young master, to whom be
cause of a little soup he had
brought a little fortune.
Not far away, under some
spruce trees, is a mound with
a wooden cross to mark the
grave of “ Nugget’s” unknown
owner.
THE FIRST OMNIBUS
The first London omnibus
was a gorgeous vehicle, bright
ly painted, with accommoda
tion for twenty-two passengers
inside, and was drawn by three
handsome bay horses. The
coachman and conductor were
dressed in livery that matched
the fine coach; the conductor
being so fine a French scholar
that many persons took pas
sage merely for the purpose of
chatting with him in order to
improve their French accent.
Newspapers and books were
provided for the passeng'ers,
so one could travel and im
prove his education at the
same time at small expense.

TO PET A HORSE
“ Not many people know
how to pet a horse—from the
.horse’s standpoint, at any
rate,” said a trainer. “ Every
nice-looking horse comes in for
a good deal of petting. Hitch
a fine horse close to the curb,
and you’ll find that half the
men, women and children who
go by will stop for a minute,
say, ‘Nice horsey,’ and give
him an affectionate pat or two.
The trouble is they don’t pat
him in the right place. First
rub his eyelids. Next to the
form of endearment, a horse
likes to be rubbed right up be
tween the ears. In petting
horses, most people slight
those nerve centers. They
stroke the horse’s nose. While
a well-behaved horse will ac
cept the nasal caress compla
cently, he would much prefer
that nice, soothing touch ap
plied to the eyelids. Once in
a while a person comes along
who really does know how to
pet a horse. Nine times out
of ten that man was brought
u,p in the country among
horses, and learned when a
child their peculiar ways.”
TO BE RE AT) EITHER
WAY
The following sentences
make sense, whether you read
word by word backward or
forward:
Solomon had vast treas
ures—silver and gold—things
precious. Happy and wealthy
and wise was he.
Man is noble and generous
often, sometimes vain and
cowardly.
Carefully boiled eggs are
good and palatable.

PL A T AND STUDY
By Dennis A. McCarthy
When you study, study
hard;
Then, to keep you stout
and ruddy,
When you play in street or
yard,
Play as hard as when you
study.
Work or play, every day,
Act as if you meant it,
Buddy,—
Play when you’re supposed
to play;
And when supposed to
study, study!
No half-hearted tv ays for
you:
Lazy trains are mischief-
brewing.
Whatsoever thing you do,
Give your mind to what
you’re doing.
Work or play, that’s the
way,
Be intent upon it, Bud
dy—
Play when you are out to
play;
And when you’re in for
study, study!
A TOPSY-TURVY
COUNTRY
If you should visit China
you would think it a very top
sy-turvy land. If you met a
citizen who wished to salute
you, he would shake his own
hand instead of yours, and
would keep his hat on instead
of taking it off. You would
notice that if he had just made
a fine toilet, his boots would
be whitened instead of black
ened. The needle of his com
pass would point to the South
instead of the North. If he
ate a melon he would include
the seeds. If he received had
news he would smile blandly.
He would consider the left in
stead of the right the place of
honor.

An attorney in Los Angeles advertised for a

were being questioned as to qualifications and
whether married or single. Finally, turning

The little son and daughter of a railroad
magnate were overheard in the following con

Muriel—Bobby, did grandma go to heaven
before we were born?
Bobby (noncommittally)—She started.
Muriel—Then how is it we didn’t meet her?
Bobby—She hadn’t arrived when we left.
Maybe she didn’t make connections.
“ There ain’t no sense in watsin’ anything.

A New York minister visited a small town
church. During Sunday school hour he asked
a small boy how many animals they had at
their house. “ Four, sir,’’ replied the boy.
“And what four are they?” asked the min
ister.
“ Mama’s the deer, the baby’s the lamb, I ’m
the kid and dad’s the goat,” he quickly re
torted.
According to the American Legion W7eekly,
it was during the impanelling of a jury in a
New England town that the following colloquy
occurred between the judge and a talesman:
“ You are a property holder1?”
“ Yes, your honor.”
“ Married or single?”
“ I have been married for five years, your
honor. ’ ’
“Have you formed or expressed any opin
ion?”
“ Not for five years, your honor.”

GETTING AT THE ROOT
IiEN YOU are ailing, Chiropractic will find the cause and at its root cor
rect it. The human body possesses the inherent power of recuperation
and self-preservation. It has within it all the essential elements which
promote health and combat disease. It is its own laboratory, which
creates and manufactures the product needed for its reconstruction,
repair, comfort and repose. In other words, the human body is a machine that
can mend itself, do its own repair work and building from the material it appro
priates as a result of the power that is generated in the brain and carried by the
nerves to every part of the human machine.
The nervous system is the vital link between physical life and death—all
sensation is transmitted by means of the nerves which emerge from the
brain and spinal column. That a better knowledge of Chiropractic may
be gained, these nerves that reach every part of the body have been
studied, traced, numbered and classified.
By analyzing the backbone, the Chiropractor can detect any subluxation (dis
placement) and by simple adjustments can remove the cause of disease at its root.
Good health follows naturally.
Look into Chiropractic, the new Health Science, and pass the good word along to
some suffering friend.
Have your spine adjusted and enjoy hea 1th, strength and vitality. There will be
no charge of any kind for a consultation md no cases taken that cannot be bene
fited.
