England had delivered an ultimatum with a time limit to the Turks. COUNCIL INSPECTS LIGHTING SYSTEMS IN BEACH CITIES The city council, en masse, accompanied by Vard Hannum, city electrician, and C. of C. secretary Malcom Fraser, visited Wilmington San Pedro and Redondo and Hermosa Beaches, yesterday in a driving rain to see what the latest is in places in the way of ornamental street lighting standards and fixtures.

W. Sandilheim Orange & Leathe only way the l for a rain gauge on only .33 of an inch IN BEACH CITIES The city council, en masse, accompanied by Vard Hannum, city electrician, and C. of C. secretary Malcom Fraser, visited Wilmington San Pedro and Redondo and Hermosa Beaches, yesterday in a driving rain to see what the latest is in places in the way of ornamental street lighting standards and fixtures. The party was welcomed at Wilmington C. of C. by Lou Johnson, secretary, who invited them to lunch, but the officials pushed on to San Pedro, meeting at the C. of C. with C. J. Colden, president of the C. of C. and R. Dupuy, chairman of their street lighting committee. Quite the most advantageous step taken in municipal lighting is evidenced at San Pedro where they have begun an installation of marbleite process for street lighting which is fabricated in Los Angeles. This process requires 30 days constant treatment and many different steps are taken in perfecting the finished article which it is said will withstand all climatic conditions peculiar to coastal regions. It was ascertained by the city council that the prices for lighting standards of all kinds have advanced considerably since Anaheim was in the market eight years ago. Along the coast, steel posts have been found to disintegrate rapidly owing to the extreme dampness caused by fog and action of the ocean waters. In Hermosa Beach iron posts eight years old have had to be strengthened with steel collars to prevent collapse. Expert authorities state that these weather agencies do not affect Anaheim reference to such posts. San Pedro standards are 18 feet in height from the curb to the top of ornamentation above the globe and are made in classic design affording a most beautiful improvement to the general appearance of the streets. It is understood that several parts of Los Angeles' residential area have adopted this style and that inland towns are also putting them in. The city council is interviewing suppliers of various sorts of ornamental street lighting units and has by no means completed its survey. WAGE REDUCTIONS HIT MANY WORKERS LONDON—Wage reductions in Great Britain during the first eleven months of 1922 affected 7,546,000 workers in the principal industries and decreased the weekly payrolls by 4,170,000 pounds December 1, compared to the amount paid at the beginning of the year. The heaviest reductions were in the building, iron and steel, and engineering and shipbuilding industries. Workers in the iron and steel industry sustained a reduction of approximately £1 in their weekly wages in the above period. Workers the British delegation to Lausanne, headed by Lord Curzon, today was forced to withdraw its ultimatum and grant the demands of Turkey for additional time.

SANTA ANA MOTOR CAR DEALER SUED In a suit for divorce filed today by Nina E. Atkinson against Robert Atkinson, former well known motor car manager in Santa Ana, the plaintiff charges that the defendant never informed her he had been married before, altho at the time of their marriage in San Francisco he already was paying, or supposed to be paying for the support of a previous wife and child. The plaintiff charges "grievous mental and physical suffering," and asks for a divorce, allmony, the costs of the action and attorney's fees. On or about December, 1918, Atkinson with all the money and his luggage, left her at a San Francisco Hotel, and she had to pay the hotel altho she she without means, she asserts. Judgment for back altho amounting to $2000 was rendered in favor of the former wife, she declares. The defendant always was very untruthful, she charges, and also withheld facts which she should have known. While they were living in Santa Ana he wrote repeatedly to a woman addressed as "Peggy" in San Francisco. WARRANT ISSUED FOR A. H. EDWARDS A warrant issued for A. H. Edwards on a charge of obtaining money under false pretences reveals the fact that M. N. Jay of Santa Anna was victimized to the amount of $900, when he purchased 100 shares of stock in the United Candy Shop Corp. On other deals Jay lost an additional $500.

The deceased, Mrs. Cornelia F. Kellogg, was granted a preliminary decree shortly before her death last October from Cecil N. Kellogg, a salesman, believed to be living in Texas. James W. Kelly, attorney for Mrs. Kellogg in the preliminary hearing, asked the court to sign a final decree in favor "to clear up formalities in connection with the case." It is believed the effort to secure the final decree was made in order to exclude Kellogg as an heir to his wife's property. RAINFALL “SPOTTY” THIS SEASON SAYS PACKING MANAGER Rainfalls this season have been the "spottiest" in the recollection of Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n. This is the only way the latter can account for a rain gauge measurement of only .33 of an inch for the 24 hours FIVE PRIS DISARM BAPTISTS TO ERECT FINE EDIFICE Site Purchased For $10,-500 at Citron Street and Broadway Anaheim Baptists are soon to have a church home of their own.

COUNTY HOSPITAL BREAKING RECORDS WITH 142 INMATES RAINFALL "SPOTTY" THIS SEASON SAYS PACKING MANAGER Rainfalls this season have been the "spottiest" in the recollection of Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n. This is the only way the latter can account for a rain gauge measurement of only .33 of an inch for the 24 hours ending at 8 a.m. today. For the storm the rainfall was .95 and for the season 5.55. The Joe Carrol ranch west of Anaheim reported .77 of an inch rain for the storm. Max Nebelung's gauge registered .37 for the 24 hours and .99 for the two days. The Yorba Linda Citrus Ass'n., reported .38, 1.05 and 5.18 for the 24 hours, two days of storm and season, respectively. The LaHabra Citrus Ass'n., .23 for the storm; the Placentia Orange Growers, Fullerton, .35 for the torm and 5.44 for the season. Orange-co is behind the normal for this time. Taking an average of 30 years the county has received half its rain or about seven inches before Jan. 24. This proves nothing, however, for the present season, because in certain years, the season of 1917-18 for example, most of the rain has fallen in February and March. In February last year 3.47 inches fell. The average in February over 39 years has been 2.60 and for March 2.40. This would bring this season's total to 10.55. DESIRES LAW TO CONTROL GUN SALE The United States Ravolver Ass'n asks that influence be brought to beer upon merchants and citizens in general to enact a law similar to the Capper bill now pending in Congress to make it difficult for criminals to obtain or retain firearms. To be effective, laws dealing with the matter should be uniform in all the states, it is declared. The object of the bill is to make it possible for law-abiding citizens to possess a pistol or revolver for protection of life and property and at the same time to provide penalties sufficiently severe enough to deter criminals from using such weapons.

Such tickets were strongly urged by the commercial travelers of the country and congress recently passed a bill authorizing their issuance. COUNTY HOSPITAL BREAKING RECORDS WITH 142 INMATES All records were smashed at the Orange-co. Hospital during January, when 142 new patients were admitted, Supt. Harry E. Zaiser reported today. This is a larger number even than during the height of the flu epidemic in 1918 and 1919. It is 36 ahead of the next largest month, last November, when there were 106. Six mental and nervous cases were sent to the State Hospital at Norwalk, compared with one in December. Only three drug addicts were admitted to the hospital, indicating that the county's number of drug users probably is rather small. Many cases were received from the county jail, and this swelled the aggregate for this month, said Dr. Zaiser today. The addition of a psychopathic ward enabled the hospital to accommodate more patients than previously. All wards now are practically full, altho with the withdrawal of several patients back to the jail today eased conditions a bit.

Jan. 31.—An announcement was made in the legislature this morning that a conference with the new highway commission last night of Imperial, San Diego, Orange and San Bernardino county representatives convinced Chairman Harvey Toy and associates of the necessity for carrying out the contract calling for ten miles of nine-foot pavement on the Holtville-Yuma route connecting with plank road. Toy assured them if funds were available the strip would be widened to 15 feet. The commission will tour in the route in the near future, according to Assembly George Davis of Imperial. ITALY INCREASES USE OF HOME STUFFS ROME—A substantial increase in home consumption, coupled with an ever growing confidence in the government's economic policy, has effected an entire recovery of industry, and the period of financial crashes is definitely past. Although Turkish trade is practically gone, owing to the crisis in the Near East, and the Ruhr occupation has already had its effect here, business has registered gains elsewhere. Textiles have enjoyed a double demand in home and eastern European markets, particularly in Jugoslavia and Bulgaria, and cotton is being bought in large quantities in New York, whereas a year ago it was acquired bale by bale from warehouses in Genoa. NARROWLY ESCAPES CRASH Narrowly averting a serious accident, an automobile went in the ditch when the high school bus which goes to Los Alamitos stopped suddenly at Moody-road and Artesia blvd to pick up two girls. The driver of the automobile failed to see any signal to stop, and in taking the ditch narrowly avoided a crash. Nobody in the auto was hurt, and the car damaged but slightly.
