New Autos Follow Hues In Frocks NEW YORK, Dec. 27.—Car colors will follow clothes in 1923. Blues and fawn hues will predominate and wheels and tires will be much smaller. This was predicted at the Grand Central palace here today, where preparations are in order for the national automobile show, opening Jan. 6. The show will reveal more cars than have been shown at any previous exhibition. Every attempt has been made to keep the new models secret. Paris and New York modes in gowns have been studied in working out car color schemes, and in a number of oases Parisian and American interior decorators have lent their talents to the creation of limousine interiors.

FEW ACCIDENTS IN ANAHEIM JUST NOW Serious auto accidents in Anaheim are becoming a decided rarity, according to reports to the district office of the Auto Club of So. Cal., the garages and City Recorder G. B. Brown, Judge Brown said today. There are fewer accidents of consequence even than crimes. Anaheim has been very fortunate, whether because of stricter law enforcement or good luck. In fact, the last serious accident was when two Fords came to town in West Broadway near the city limits and a woman was pretty badly cut up. That was two or three months ago. Five were tagged over Sunday and Christmas and about 12 cases before that awaited action. Speeding continues to be the most common offense. SON AND MOTHER CALLED BY DEATH Former friends and neighbors of Edd Jenkins, who lived on Diamond street, will be saddened to hear of his death which occurred in his eastern home in Illinois, of tuberculosis, Dec. 9.

NEW RECORDS AT LOCAL POSTOFFICE FINGERPRINT EXPERT IS BUSY MAN December will witness all records broken in the number of fingerprints taken and filed for reference by Deputy Sheriff Herman Zabel. Zabel, who has held office only about two years, approximately the same length of time as his predecessor, Charles Holbrook, expects to quadruple Holbrook's total by the end of the year. Holbrook went to the State bureau of identification at Sacramento. In December so far he has taken 119 fingerprints and will have taken 130 by Jan. 1, he said today. He has taken all told 1182, his first number having been 1920 and his last 3102. In answer to the query regarding additional aides in the Sheriff's office, particularly in his department, Zabel said that this was entirely out of the question. The growing business of Zazel's department is due not so much to the increase of crime as to the increase in means of its suppression and to the growth in population. HARGROVE REALTY OPENS HOUSE DEPT: Hargrove Realty Co. announces that Jan. 1st, it will open a special house and lot department to take care of their ever increasing demand for properties of this kind. Had this new department will be in charge of Mr. Earl A. Mackey of Los Angeles, Hargrove's company has enjoyed the nicest business this fall in the history of the office, but it is realized by Mr. Hargrove that with his force heretofore he has been unable adequately to take care of the demands made upon his office for lots and homes for the reason that he has had no one especially working on this end of the business, and this is an age.

This man abolishes fingerprint n NEW RECORDS AT LOCAL POSTOFFICE The Christmas postoffice business this year was nowhere near equalled in former years. Postmaster J. F. Alhborn said today. Alhborn voiced confidence that the $40,000 total business (money order business not included) for the calendar year would easily be reached and the local office be put into the first class in the fiscal year beginning July 1. The new office made a vast difference in the handling of the mail and the crowds of purchasers of stamps, etc., Alhborn added. The more commodious quarters enabled the formation of two waiting lines instead of one and the place was not completely blockaded as was the case a year ago. An extra clerk and extra carrier, however, were not enough, and all employees were obliged to work long hours overtime to make possible the handling of the mail.

WASHES TELL TALE PRINTS OFF SAFE Why purchase gloves when you want to blow a safe? Soap and water, or water alone for that matter, is required. This marvelous fluid abolishes fingerprint marks so that the most astute investigator cannot detect their former presence. But the first case that Deputy Sheriff Herman Zabel ever came across was that of the Palm Cafe, Capistrano. The dial was blown out of the safe Tuesday morning, after tablecloths had been used to muffle the sound, and then the safe was nicely cleaned off. Zabel says there's a safe blower who operates in just that way, and indicated that he had therefore a clue to the would-be thief. KIWANIANS HEAR EFFICIENCY EXPERT J. C.

BANK LOOT FOUND SEEK 10,000 BBL. GUSHER NEW YEARS With Oil Operators A. T. Jergins is preparing to make the city of Long Beach a New Year's gift in the shape of a ten thousand barrel well. A. T. Jergins Trust No. 2 has been drilling in the oil sand for nine hundred feet and if depth and richness of the sand has anything to do with production Jergins will set a new mark for the Long Beach field. It is the intention to go another hundred feet and give the well a full 1000 feet of oil bearing sand to draw on. A conservative estimate of ten barrels to the foot of sand would make the Jergins Trust No. 2 one of the biggest wells ever completed in the West. It will only be a matter of a short time now until the Fred-B. Foster Co. will have production for its stockholders at Lon Beach, Californian No. 1 has set casing, the 8 1-4 at 3677 and a couple of hundred feet more will bring the well into the pay sand. The Dabney Oil Syndicate's success at Long Beach continues. Recently No. 10 was given a production test at 2965 and made seven hundred barrels. This means a thousand barrel well in a couple of weeks. The Dabney Syndicate has six other wells drilling and new rigs up for five more. The Macmillan-Davis Syndicate's well is still the premier producer of the Long Beach field and is holding steadily at 4700 barrels daily. The well is a masterpiece of development work and huch credit for the wonderful success of this well is given to the Elliott Core Drilling Co. The big well is producing 28 gravity oil, absolutely free from water or a grain of sand, and demonstrates conclusively that the work done by the Elliott Core Drilling Co. in locating the water stata has been successful. Wells like the United Haas 2, Fisher 2, and Keck Syndicate 4 in the immediate vicinity set the water string at a higher level than the Macmillan-Davis, and each finished with a bad job. Had the casing in these wells been set at points designated by core drilling the story would have been different. The Elliott Oil Well Core Drilling Co. has made one of the greatest contributions of the year to the petroleum industry, in that it has taken the guess work out of drilling and enables the operator to set a string of casing just where it ought to be set. The Metropolitan Petroleum Co., one of the famous "Blue Tank Group," brought in the biggest well BANK LOOT FOUND AS ARREST IS MADE NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 27.—Arrest of two men and two women at a local hotel led today to recovery of $3000 in currency believed to have been part of the $97,000 loot obtained Dec. 11 by highwaymen who held up and robber a messenger of the Druvers National bank of Kansas City and escaped after a gun battle.
