XXIV—No. 181 FIND LOOT HIKE Incorporate Anaheim PEGGY REVELS IN DISPLAY OF NEW SPRING FASHIONS Beautiful Garments Shown at Formal Opening of Spring Style Show Tomorrow. By Peggy With the approach of spring, one's thoughts turn to the preparation of a new wardrobe, and the first thought that comes to Milady is, in what fashion shall we dress? What are the prevailing styles this spring? We can only suggest a visit to the different shops, and a view of the windows, as they will be opened tomorrow for the first day of the annual spring fashion show, which will continue for Saturday. Peggy made a visit to the shops this morning and fairly revealed in the beautiful things that were down by the very obliging sales ladies. When one views the beautiful garments that each day are arriving at the different stores, one cannot help but be delighted with the planning of spring and summer. Bonds Will Be Placed On Market in Two Mos. Plans were made last night at the meeting of the Anaheim Post of the American Legion for the incorporation of The American Legion Building Ass'n of Anaheim under the benevolent association act. This will permit the owning and holding of property and looks towards the raising of funds for the erection of a new clubhouse here. The Legion has definitely decided to erect a coliseum seating 2000 in connection with the clubhouse. Bonds are expected to be placed on the market within 60 days, it is stated. The attorney is already drawing up the papers of incorporation. A comprehensive campaign will also be put on in the meantime to round up all the ex-service men in Anaheim and get them into the Legion. There are 200 or 300 ex-service men in Anaheim who do not belong to the Legion, it is stated. These will be given an opportunity to join the post, it is stated. A favorable report was given by Raymond Hicks in charge of the theatrical program to be put on by the Legion at one of the local theaters within the next month. Following the business session and We can only suggest a visit to the different shops, and a view of the windows, as they will be opened tomorrow for the first day of the annual spring fashion show, which will continue thru Saturday. Peggy made a visit to the shops this morning and fairly revealed in the beautiful things that were down by the very obliging sales ladies. When one views the beautiful garments that each day are arriving at the different stores, one cannot help but be delighted with the planning of spring and summer clothes. At the S. Q. R. store my eyes fell on the most wonderful display of afternoon and street dresses one can imagine. Among the many beautiful gowns I especially admired one made of dark blue georgette crepe, beaded, and made over a foundation of that new tomato colored georgette. The waist was the long effect, so decidedly good at this season. The girdle was of the two shades of georgette, and where it fastened at the side was a bunch of grapes, giving it that frenchy touch. Another very clever creation was a combination of gray and black taffet. The foundation was of gray taffeta, with the black taffetta overdress, this being heavily braided. It was made in the prevailing style of long waisted, and had the very short puff sleeves. A dark blue taffeta combined with Henna silk embroidery was still another very attractive model. If you must be strictly in the swim, one gown must at least be appliqued in a contrasting color. Peggy saw a very clever frock in Kitten's car crepe, appliqued in bisque crepe meteor. The waist was made in the long effect, basque model, with short sleeves. The prevailing colors are gray, navy and brown. In the wool materials, while in silks we find taffetas, moon glow and tallyho. The separate skirts are to be found mostly in stripes and a few plaids, while silks, prunellas and serges are very good. The blouses are mostly in the two tone effects in the over blouse styles. Many beautiful spring coats are being shown, they are in the loose back effects, and the cape coats. Some are plain while others are elaborately braided. From one store to another I traveled, and finally at FALKEN-STEIN'S I found they were showing a wonderful display of silks. National silk week being observed. They had patterns and materials suitable for every occasion. The sports silks are being featured in an exceptionally strong showing, while Canton crepes, taffetas come in for an extensive display. In the ready to wear department I found some wonderful creations in coats, dresses, suits and blouses, which are being shown in every conceivable color and material. In the department devoted to the sale of accessories they are showing many articles that are decidedly new, hand bags, neckwear, etc., repainted. The attorney is already drawing up the papers of incorporation. A comprehensive campaign will also be put on in the meantime to round up all the ex-service men in Anaheim and get them into the Legion. There are 200 or 300 ex-service men in Anaheim who do not belong to the Legion, it is stated. These will be given an opportunity to join the post, it is stated. A favorable report was given by Raymond Hicks in charge of the theatrical program to be put on by the Legion at one of the local theater within the next month. Following the business session and the entertainment, refreshments were ANAHEIM WILL MEET SANTA ANA FRIDAY The Anaheim high school will meet the Santa Ana high in a track meet at Santa Ana Friday afternoon.

COMEDY PRESENTED BY DRAMATIC DEPT.

It is the story of a boy who had a falling out with his girl and in his hurry left his silk hat in the parlor. He tried to hire someone close to go get it and there is where the fun began and it kept up until the last.

Twenty-four bicycles were stolen during January, making the number of thefts from the first of the year well over fifty. ful hats, such an array it was difficult to tell which was the prettiest. Consulting the sales lady she told me that large picture hats in horse hair, malline, lace, in drooping effect, irregular shapes with broad sides, soft floppy effects, sash effects in ribbon, lace and georgette were very good. Turbans are medium sized nets, mitzie sailors, off-the-face hats, turkish turbans, sailors in roll and straight brims, with rainbow shades of georgette pugares, also silk sport hats. All these are the very newest. As to colors there is a regular jumble of shades from the darkest to the brightest. Tomoto, panrika, henna, blue, apple green, black and white combination, all black, nicley, gray, zinc, battle gray, flame red and brown. The trimmings are varied, but if you are fond of flowers you will be easily suited, as the hats this season abound in bright flowers, lots of them, and of many different kinds. Field flowers, those pretty old fashioned kind, are very good, iridescent cellophane, cherries and grapes, gluerine ostrich, and the new sash effects in georgette, ribbons are much used and fancy novelty pins are in vogue. In the juvenile hats, the milans and leghorns in roll, straight and drooping effects are in favor. Anaheim Is Fastest Growing...

O.K.S FRENCH MOVE LONDON, March 2.—Preliminary movements of French forces to compel German obedience to allied reparations demands were approved by the allied supreme council today. A further session was scheduled for this afternoon to determine the part each ally shall play in exerting pressure on Germany. The supreme council went into session at noon in St. James palace. Several Japanese officers were among the military group, which included Field Marshal Wilson, Marshals Foch and Weygand and Generals Maglinze and Mariettl. The allied leaders, surrounded by famous military officers, legal advisers and economic experts, had not completed their war council at 2 o'clock and adjournment until 5 p.m. Marshal Foch's plans for occupation were spread before the supreme council, which was informed also of the progress the French have made in preparing to reinforce the army of occupation. It was semi-officially admitted that French forces are on the move and that the Ruhr valley will be occupied by them. The French were said to plan seizure of all German custom houses along the frontier, levying a 50 percent tax on all German exports. The premiers met military leaders to draw up an ultimatum to Germany and decide what steps to take if the Germans persist in their re-entry to pay the $56,000,000,000 indemnity. The delegation whose offer of reparations yesterday was branded generally as "an absurdity," is to meet the supreme council tomorrow. The German delegation insisted that its proposal to pay $7,200,000,000 is the best that can be offered. They argued the weakness of German industry, the unfavorable rate of exchange and the effect of a long term debt on the workers. FRENCH READY TO STRIKE AT GERMANY Paris, March 1.—French railroads were ordered today to hold themselves in readiness to transport troops to the German frontier. The order was the most important of a series issued by military and government authorities to prepare for a military movement to force obedience to the allied reparations demands. French forces now on the frontier were announced to be as follows: 110,00 infantrymen, three corps of cavalry, 1000 guns, 300 airplanes. The most important feature of the military preparations was believed to be the concentration of cavalry at the Rhine bridgeheads, serving as a threat to the Germans before the actual advance is begun. Colonial troops again are arriving by way of Marscles. GERMANS AT MERCY OR ALLIED INVASION LONDON, March 2.—German deli ways enter the county. These will be used in weighing heavily loaded trucks, where there is any question as to whether they exceed the legal limit. The plan is in accord with the policy of Dist. Atty.

The cleverest criminal escapade to come under the notice of officers of Orange-co in many months was discovered late yesterday at the Fulerton jail when search was made for stolen furs which Frank Becker and J. W. Fallin, Chicago boys, picked up last week on the charge of beating their way on the train and sentenced to 30 days each in jail, confessed they had hidden there. The furs were discovered in the mattress in the jail where the boys admitted they had hidden them. The express car next to the one in which the boys were riding had been broken into and Fred Volmer, Santa Fe detective, made a thoro examination of it. He found a rubber shoe heel that one of the boys had lost and also a transfer ticket on the street railways of Chicago. The boys held out firmly for nearly a week that they had not broken into the car but the rubber shoe heel and the transfer ticket was too much and they finally confessed. Ninety-eight boxes in the car were broken into, and the loot taken included silkworms. SPRING VACATION IS WEEK OF APRIL 4TH Spring vacation for Anaheim high and grammar schools has been set for the week commencing April 4.

ASSERTS ORANGE MAN HAS TWO SIGNATURES That a man may possess a "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" signature developed in Federal Commissioner Long's court, Los Angeles, when Willie Wright, a bootblack of Orange, was held to answer on a charge of bootlegger. The complaining witness was the wife of a well-known Orange citizen, who is doing her best to encourage her sometimes thirty-hour band to refrain from associating with bootleggers and their liquid warms. In order to assist the bootblack out of his predicament with the prohibition enforcement officials, the husband attached his name to an affidavit, testifying that Willie Wright never sold him any liquor of intoxicating caliber. The affidavit also aimed to satisfy the maker's wife, but it didn't, according to Commissioner Long. The express car next to the one in which the boys were riding had been broken into and Fred Volmer, Santa Fe detective, made a thoro examination of it. He found a rubber shoe heel that one of the boys had lost and also a transfer ticket on the street railways of Chicago. The boys held out firmly for nearly a week that they had not broken into the car but the rubber shoe heel and the transfer ticket was too much and they finally confessed. Ninety-eight boxes in the car were broken into, and the loot taken included silks and furs. A bolt of silk was thrown off the car near Corona. It was found by a hobo and taken to a mercantile company in Los Angeles to which it was addressed. The officers could not believe that the furs taken from the car were hidden in the Fullerton jail because the boys had been searched by Marshal Thwing, Joe Marilla and Fred Volmer before taken to jail. However, the mattress in the jail was serched twice without result and the officers affirmed that if the furs had been hidden there they had been removed by some one else. But on the third search they were found. The boys had ripped open the mattress with a safety pin, neatly parted the cotton, slipped the neck furts into the clavices and smoothed it back together until it was not noticeable. When searched, the furs had been wrapped around their waist underneath their clothing. They stated that when they finished their 30-day sentence they had intended to come back to Fullerton, ask for a night's lodging at the city jail and take the furs away with them the next morning. Officers agree that it was the cleverest trick they ever witnessed. The car in which the boys are alleged to have traveled in "de luxe" style from Chicago was a thrue car from New York to Los Angeles. It was filled with valuable silks and women's wearing apparel. They entered the car through the ventilator on the roof and one of them lost a rubber heel when it became wedged between two boxes. A Fullerton shoe repairer was given a quarter and a pair of shoes to replace this heel. The train of which the express car was a part left Chicago Feb. 20 at 10 p.m. It passed through Fullerton at 11:50 lined Wednesday and the two boys were arrested about an hour later when found leaning around the tracks. The Chicago street railway transfer which one of them had in his possession, its twin being found in the car, was dated Feb. 20, 7:30 p.m., indicating it was issued a few hours before the train left Chicago. Seals on the express car were not broken. Detectives in Los Angeles found upon opening the car that the two boys had made their beds on a pile of silk dress goods and other valuable wear-ing apparel. The boys stated when they got off at Fullerton they thought they were getting off in Pasadena. The complaining witness was the wife of a well-known Orange citizen, who is doing her best to encourage her sometimes thirsty husband to refrain from associating with bootleggers and their liquid waters. In order to assist the bootblack out of his predicament with the prohibition enforcement officials, the husband attached his name to an affidavit, testifying that White Weight never sold him any liquor of intoxicating caliber. The affidavit also aimed to satisfy the maker's wife, but it didn't, according to Commissioner Long. Shown the affidavit and asked if she recognized the signature as that of her spouse the wife said: "Yes, that is his drinking signature; he writes differently when he in sober." HOUSE REJECTS ARMY LIMIT WASHINGTON, March 2—The house today by a vote of 240 to 81 refused to agree to an army of 175,000 men as proposed by the senate in the army appropriation bill.
