He was prominent * during the war as correspondent of a paper in Budapest, but maintained a strong anti-war attitude thruout. He even wrote as late as 1916, a violently anti-war play.Born at Vienna in 1880, Biro received his early education in a small Hungarian village. Later he studied layf In Budapest but soon decided to enter the field of Journalism,, where he made his reputation as a writer of Sketches and short stories. He is the writer of a number of plays which have been produced in the United States.

But without question the library would open its doors as would the pool-halls. This being Tuesday the K. P. Lodge would likewise hold a meeting this evening. The first meeting in the different churches will be tomorrow evening when prayer meeting will be held.Chief of Police Redans, a member of the health hoard stated this morning that the number of cases of influenza was so small at the present time that it was thot safe to lift the ban. Nevertheless all children will be kept off the streets and as a suggestion he says it will4be a good plan if all mothers will aid the authorities bykeeping their children at home. Also to safeguard the public and to insure against theoutbreak of the epidemic again the new cases as well as the old will be under strict quarantine. * It is not known as yet when the public schools will re-open but it seems that it willnot be until after the first ofthe year.Haines on November 2b at the age of 10 years, 7 months and 16 days.Both young men resided with their parents and other brother at theirhome in the East Vale District.

The alternate plan of graveling the fills and using the road for a year has also been considered by the supervisors. Much of the road has been cut out along the side of the hills and the roadway there is firm and reasonably smooth. The view from the summit. Mr. Finley says, is one of the finest to be had anywhere in this section.Mr. Finley brings the good news.that it is the purpose of the Orange county supervisors to pave the three miles between the lower end of the new road and Peralto the coining summer. That is the worst part of the canyon road at present. He believes a good detour can be maintained along the road while paving%is in progress.Imperial Highness Higashi Ftishi-mi of Japan passed thru Corona last evening in company with his suite.
