ANAHEIM RATIFIES JOINT SEWER PLAN Anaheim city council last night ratified the joint agreement with Santa Ana for the construction of an outfall sewer to the ocean. The agreement provides for apportionment of cost of construction, engineering and attorney's fees and costs of litigation. CROWN STAGE WON'T BID FOR FRANCHISE The Crown Stage will not be a bidder for the litter franchise. Santa Ana city council proposes to offer the highest bidder. The Motor Transit company filed with the city council several months ago an application for a permit to operate a line. That T. R. Carpenter, who is operating a service in Anaheim may be in the field to secure the franchise was indicated when Carpenter went over to Santa Ana to discuss the institution of a service in the residential districts. Carpenter was in consultation with Everett A. White, president of the Santa Ana Realty board, who is a strong booster for supplying the county seat city with transportation facilities. Carpenter is operating six 15-passenger buses at Anaheim under a permit granted Harry Riley by the state railroad commission. Rily inaugurated the line some six of seven weeks ago, and today declared the buses were handling around 450 passengers a day at five cent fare. The line is not a paying proposition, but it is thought that it will become so in time. The cars operate east and west on Center-st and north and south on Los Angeles-st, offering convenient transportation to a large portion of the city. Half-hour service is maintained a portion of the day with 15-minute service in the rush hours. The stages start at 6:30 a.m. and operate until 9:30 p.m. PROMPT DESPONDENT WOMAN FOUND LYING ON LOT LOS ANGELES, Dec. 16.—Found lying on a lot near second and Columbia-sts by Patrolman M. C.

PROMPT REBATE IN OVER-ASSESSMENT A treasury decision is issued today, which provides for prompt adjustment of claims for refund and abatement of federal taxes. Heretofore when an over-assessment or overpayment was disclosed by the audit of an income tax return, the taxpayer was invited to sue a claim in Washington D.C., the claim was registered and filed away until reached in due course for consideration. Because of the large number of such claims filed, delay in adjustment necessarily resulted. "After Dec. 15, 1921, taxpayers will not be advised of their privilege of filing a claim for the refund of taxes which have been paid in excess of amounts legally due, but instead will receive a certificate of over-assessment and a check in correction of the error, or if an assessment is outstanding against the taxpayer for income or excess profit taxes, the overpayment will be applied as a credit against the assessment and any balance immediately refunded. This will be a distinct financial advantage to both the taxpayer and the government. It will do away with the necessity for the taxpayer filing a claim for refund and will greatly reduce the amount of work to be done by the bureau in the adjustment of claims." MAGNOLIA SCHOOL PROGRAM Magnolia school children had a happy evening last night when the annual Christmas treat was given at the school. A large tree, all trimmed in glittering ornaments and lights, was the center of attraction.

The entertainment was enjoyed by a large crowd of patrons of the school and all enjoyed the evening to the utmost.

AIN DEAL READING NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California, Friday, December 16, 1921 ICE WANTS SCOTCH ASK FOR FULL FREEDOM Gaels' Demand "Free State" Modeled on Plan Offered to Ireland LONDON, Dec. 16.—Copying the success of Ireland, the Scotch today launched a full-fledged movement for entire liberty. They have demanded a Scotch "free state" modeled on the plan that has been offered to Ireland. The Gaels, both in and out of Scotland, have rallied to the new movement, which already has become of sweeping proportions. A league has been formed with Angus Clarke as president to work for NEW RECORD FOR SCHOOL GROWTH Total of High and Grammar Attendance Reaches 1863 Just Before Holiday When Anaheim public schools let out this afternoon for the two weeks' Christmas holidays, the total enrollment had established a new record. The total enrollment of grammar and high schools today was 1863, an enormous increase over last year and unmistakable proof of the rapid growth of Anaheim's population. Anaheim grammar schools today had an enrollment of 1378, announced Supt. C. C. Smith, compared with Rules on Right To Powder Noses KNOBEL, Ark., Dec. 16.—Do school girls have a legal right to use face powder? That question was up here today, when Circuit Court Judge Marion Futrell ruled on a writ of mandamus boot against the board of education of this town of 500 population, by pretty Miss Pearl Pugsley, 18. Miss Pugsley was dismissed from the local high school by Principal N. E. Hicks because she used powder, and is seeking "restoration of her rights." Some time ago the board decreed: "Peekaboo waists, transparent hoslery, the use of lip sticks, paints and all cosmetics by students are prohibited." NORWALK MAN NEW DEPUTY MARSHAL LONDON, Dec. 16.—Copying the success of Ireland, the Scotch today launched a full-fledged movement for entire liberty. They have demanded a Scotch "free state" modeled on the plan that has been offered to Ireland. The Gaels, both in and out of Scotland, have rallied to the new movement, which already has become of sweeping proportions. A league has been formed with Angus Clarke as president to work for Scottish home rule. Clarke said today that the league will ask all Scotch members of parliament to withdraw. The Scots are establishing headquarters in Glasgow and have begun publication of an official organ called "Liberty." This newspaper will be distributed throughout England and Scotland in furtherance of the liberty movement. Among the grevies cited by "Liberty" are the following: 1. The act of union of 1707, which was characterized as "an insidious piece of legislation." 2. Seventeen of the 33 Scottish counties show a decrease in population since the 1911 census. 3. Five counties have populations below that of 1800. 4. One fifth of the land in Scotland is reserved as deer forests and game preserves. 5. One Englishman owns a preserve of 200,000 acres, which stretches across Scotland from sea to sea. 6. All attempts to recover Scottish land for the peasantry have proved futile. 7. One land recovery act passed was mangled by the house of lords. 8. The officials of the new liberty movement claim England is responsible for the unfavorable conditions in Scotland. Germany May Be Declared Bankrupt PARIS, Dec. 16.—France plans to throw Germany into bankruptcy, it was semi-officially stated here today. At the London conference between Premiers Lloyd George and Briand the following plan will be suggested: 1. The allies are to recognize the bankruptcy of Germany. 2. An allied commission is to take charge of German tax collections and assets just as would be done in the case of a private bankrupt. 3. The issuance of paper marks is to be halted. 4. The commission is to control the customs and tobacco and coal monopolies. 5. The agreement would be binding under an agreement similar to that of Weisbaden. When Anaheim public schools let out this afternoon for the two weeks' Christmas holidays, the total enrollment had established a new record. The total enrollment of grammar and high schools today was 1863, an enormous increase over last year and unmistakable proof of the rapid growth of Anaheim's population. Anaheim grammar schools today had an enrollment of 1378, announced Supt. C. C. Smith, compared with 1034 at the opening of school. “This is actual enrollment and does not include those who entered and later departed,” said Supt. Smith. “If we counted everyone who entered school since Sept. our total would exceed 1500.” The high school office announced this afternoon that the present enrollment was 485, compared with 463 at opening in Sept. and 437 at the close of school last June. At the end of next month, the mid-year entrance of freshmen will add about 40 more to the high school total. Anaheim Bargain Day Proves Great Success Anaheim and the trade territory which the city covers had a bargain day today, instead of after Christmas, which opened the eyes of even the steady run of buyers to the wisdom of trading at home.

Cohen, proprietor of the Jewell Box, had to send in two hurry calls to Los Angeles for more help, he said at noon today.

MAY EXPORT OIL BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 16—Continued development of the oil fields of Argentina and the entrance of considerable amounts of foreign capital into the country have led observers to form the opinion that within a few years Argentenia will probably be an oil exporting country.

In the Comodore Rivadavia field the government continues successful drilling. In the other fields and potential fields throut out the country exploration is going on rapidly.

TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR TS SHIPS GREAT BRITAIN REQUESTS SUBMARINES BE BARRED WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.—Two brand-new complications came today to threaten the complete disruption of the agreement for the limitation of naval power and the suspension of warship construction. An official statement was issued by the British conference spokesman in which he made public the fact that France has served notice on the powers that, regardless of whatever agreement England, Japan and America may enter into, the French government will build 12 superdreadnoughts of the late-design during the 10-year period beginning in 1925. The French announcement came as a complete surprise just at the time when the so-called "big three" were congratulating themselves that they had completely settled the naval problems of the world.

BIBLE CLASS AIDS VERY NEEDY FAMILY That there are isolated cases really in need of Christmas cheer has been discovered by the Howe Bible class of the Christian church which discovered a family of father, mother and four children residing in one room board shack at Richfield. "When representatives of the class walked in, the only thing in the shack that could be classed as eatable was a can of baking powder," said Ray. Loren Howe today. The family recently came from Imperial Valley. The father was flat on his back for six weeks. A 14-year-old boy's legs were crushed by a truck, the flesh being torn from the bones of both limbs; the mother, normally a strong woman able to work in a packing house, has recently given birth to a child; another child re- France has served notice on the powers that, regardless of whatever agreement England, Japan and America may enter into, the French government will build 12 superdreadnoughts of the lates design during the 10-year period beginning in 1925. The French announcement came as a complete surprise just at the time when the so-called "big three" were congratulating themselves that they had completely settled the naval problems of the world. The second disrupting announcement came from Arthur Balfour, heading the British delegation, and indicated that Great Britain will insist upon the total abolition of the submarine as a naval weapon. In the sessions of the "big three" —America, Britain and Japan—to determine the naval policies of the world. France was given little attention. She had protested that she wanted a rating equal to that of Japan, but this protest had been passed over with something like a smirk by the other powers, which appeared to think that France must be contented with whatever she was allotted. Now, however, the statement that France will upset the naval program and will build 12 thoroughly modern super-dreadnoughts places her virtually in a position to dictate terms to the "big three." For with France building 12 modern naval fighting machines it would not be possible for the other nations to adhere to their plan for a 10-year naval construction holiday. If they did so France would build herself into a position of naval preponderance, for it must be remembered that by far the majority of the battleships in the navies of the "big three" are pre-Jutland ships, which means they are vessels not equipped with the latest design of fighting qualifications. France, on the other hand, would have 12 brand new ships, capable of dominating the ocean. This neither America, England nor Japan would countenance. GETS 1 TO 14 YEARS FOR PASSING CHECK Alfred Frank Reynolds today was sentenced by Superior Judge West to spend one to 14 years an San Quentin for passing fictitious paper. In passing sentence, West scored the defendant for his alleged attempt to hide behind the skirts of Miss Anna Violet Walters, 16, associated with him in his operations at Santa Ana. Miss Walters, a ward of the Los Angeles juvenile court, is the mother of a seven-months-old child of which Reynolds had been reported to be the father. Today she was quoted as naming another man as father. STUDENTS PETITION FOR J. C. COLLEGE Petitions are now in circulation by students of the Santa Ana junior college petitioning the county school superintendent to call an election for the creation of a junior college district, the boundaries to be identical with those of the union high school district. It will be necessary to obtain the signatures of 500 voters in the district to make the petition effective. With the filing of the petition it will be incumbent upon the county school superintendent to call an election. If called, the election probably will be held the last Friday in March, when grammar school districts will vote on boards of trustees. The Santa Ana union high school district includes the grammar school districts of Delhi, Diamond, Panlarino, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach and Greenville. Formation of the college district will result in an increase of the state allowance per pupil. The apportionment for junior college pupils is greater than for high school, the increase amounting to $70 a year. Under the present law the state appropriation is $30 per high school pupil, the same amount applying to junior college students. The new law makes provision for a state appropriation of $2,000 for each college district plus $100 per pupil. Moonshiner Raid Results Fatally CORNELIA, Ga., Dec. 16.
