The storm came down from Canada along the crest of the Rockies and switched eastward. It swept the Great Lakes region and speeded the plains and across the Alleghenies.

Though abating somewhat along the Rockies today, the storm was still gripping almost the entire district. Shipping was being kept to the Great Lakes harbors and snow was falling at mnay points. It was the coldest weather thus far this winter in the eastern and middle western states. Here is a summary of conditions as reported from the various sections: NEW YORK—New York's thermometers registered 21 degrees at 9 a.m., today, a drop of 18 since 8 a.m. Monday.

"TIGER" THREATENS TO HAUNT U.S. NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—Georges Clemente, the "Tiger" of France. RECORD XMAS BUYING IN ANAHEIM Shoppers of Anaheim and adjacent territory are not being phased by rain, according to the merchants of the city, who declares that even the mornings are bringing shoppers to the stores from all sections. Center street, as well as many of the side streets, are well filled with shoppers' motor cars during the morning hours, and the postoffice is likewise the scene of a line of people making mailing Christmas packages. According to the general belief of the merchants, holiday shopping will be on its last legs by the middle of next week. However, for the eleventh hour shopping, the members of the Anaheim Retail Merchants' Protective Ass'n will keep their stores open in the evening the last three days of next week, Dec. 21, 22 and 23. "The shoppers are more systematic this year than I have ever noted before," said one prominent merchant, "for they come to the store with lists, and as they eliminate, they check their lists and then go elsewhere and do the same thing. This is getting holiday shopping down to a science. It is hardly probable that these shoppers will be among the eleventh hour crowds." Anaheim stores in general, are offering a greater variety of holiday gifts this year than ever before, and it is believed that the holiday business in Anaheim this year will exceed, by almost double, any previous year in the city's history.

SUIT Changes in Plans Involved Additions in Materials Costing $17,839 Changes in plans involving additions of materials costing $17,839.56 are among the things alleged in an answer filed today by L. F. Pomeroy, one of the defendants in the suit of H. M. Adams et al vs the Anaheita Union high school et al. Pomeroy declares that there was erected a building of an entirely different shape and larger size than the gymnasium-cafeteria planned and specified and for which bond of more than $73,000 was given. Pomeroy makes general denial of the allegations in the complaint. He Turkey a Lonesome Bird, Likes Company Lives there a housewife in Anaheim who believes that it is better to buy a Christmas turkey and feed it at home until the day of execution? If so, banish the thought, housewife, for facts are "agin" the proposition. "It can't be done," says Joseph E. Stroup, who yesterday had the pleasure of having a sold turkey thrust back upon him to be fed up until execution day. "Turkles like company," said Mr. Stroup, "and they will not eat alone. Nevertheless, I like to accommodate our customers, so when a lady called me the other day and asked me to send her a live turkey to "feed up" for Christmas," I obeyed orders. Her husband came in my back door yesterday morning and with hat in hand, asked me if it would be all right to return the turkey and get one already assassinated and dressed the day before Christmas. Most certainly, said I, and when I weighed the turkey, upon its return to my shop, it had lost over a pound and a half." Moral: If you must feed your own turkey to fatten it for Christmas, make it two, for one will not eat alone. KIWANIS PLANS HI JINKS WED. NIGHT The Hi Jinks at the United Theater next Wednesday night, Dec. 20th promise to be "something else again," according to the program committee in charge of the evening's entertainment.

The feature will be Colleen Moore in the Wallflower. An excellent comedy picture is also to be presented. The usual prices will prevail for both performances, but if any man, woman or child cares to add something to the "kitty" as they enter the lobby, they will not be arrested, according to the program committee. FEELS SMALL HOPE FOR LOST AVIATORS NOGALES, Ariz., Dec. 13.—Unless Col. Francis Marshall and Lieut. Charles Webber, missing army aviators, have found a desert water hole and are waiting there for help, little hope is held out for them by searching army authorities.

EXPECT WILSON TO RE-FNTER POLITICS WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—Former President Woodrow Wilson may MOVED OFTEN TO ESCAPE CREDITORS Custody of a daughter, Lucille, 15 alimony and support are asked by Clara L. Minnik in a suit for divorce. Pomeroy makes general denial of the allegations in the complaint.

Among the extras demanded by the change of plans was, he says, excavating for a domestic science building, plastering for a lumber room and glue room and alterations in heating and electric lighting systems. Pomeroy declares that A. L. Gribling, contraction, agreed to submit to arbitration the dispute, but the trustees refused. He also declares that the financial connection of H. M.

XMAS SEAL SALE WELL UNDER WAY Sale of Red Seal Tubercular stamps for the equipment of a local dental clinic is well under way. Get these little stamps early and add them to your Christmas packages. Mary needs her tooth fixed. Johnny wants his glass of milk; little Walter has a badly swollen face and cried all night long from an abscessed tooth. Let's all help. PRISON TERM UP TO PARADE BOARD The State Board of Parole has more to do with the penalty that a convicted offender shall pay than the judge himself, a county official of long familiarity with Orange-co legal procedure remarked today in connection with the case of R. N. Deck, convicted embezzler. The State Board on an indeterminate sentence of one to 14 years has given Deck three years to serve, the term to date from Oct. 16, 1921, when he was sent to San Quentin. The board cannot determine the length of the term until the minimum sentence has been served. Mike Crispin, who committed rape on an Anaheim woman more than a year ago, knocking out her teeth and fearfully assaulting her, was given the maximum penalty by this same board of 50 years and his brother Emil, for assault with intent to commit rape on another woman, 14 years also the limit.

The defendant is permitted to take the child once a month for a day. The final decree and judgment will be awarded a year hence. The case is one of the most remarkable in some respects ever tried in the county courts. The married life of the two consisted mostly of differences' and reconciliations, the husband moving all the way to Honolulu, building a nice home at Montebello and taking various other means to make his wife contented. The two were married at Fullerton June 23, 1915. Frequent absences from home, dancing with sailors aboard U. S. Navy vessels in Honolulu harbor, extravagances, ermelties, neglect of their child, etc., are charged. Repeatedly the wife says the complaint, went to live with her father in Brea, leaving him alone with the child, and finally she took their frugiture with her there. She left him again and in May, 1920, the divorce suit was filed. But on Aug. 21 of the same year all three went to Honolulu. She left him for good on Sept. 8, 1921, at Huntington Beach, where they again had moved to please her.

House of Commons In All Night Uproar SUSPECT PLOT TO OUST SHERIFF LOS ANGELES, Dec. 13.—Clara Phillips may have been aided in her escape from the county jail by a powerful "dope" ring plotting to oust sheriff Treager from office because of his plans for a war on narcotic smuggling and peddling, according to information received at the sheriff's office today.
