NOT MUCH LOCAL DELINQUENT TAX Tax delinquencies amount to only a few thousand dollars, Miss Helen Kraemer, deputy tax collector, indicated today. Approximately $20,000 was paid in on Saturday and Monday and Miss Kraemer estimates that the mails, unopened for three days, will yield another $4000 or $5000. Up to Saturday noon $93,700 had been collected at the City Hall outside of the city assessor's collections of $7000 or $8000. The total taxes to be collected this year were $128,700 compared with $86,000. Any payments mailed not later than Monday of this week are receivable, and delinquencies take effect only in cases where actual payment or mailing was made after Monday. ROMANCE STILL LIVES IN ANAHEIM Romance is not dead in Anaheim. As one travels back and forth through the city past the various big trees and possible places, where there is room for a pair of initials, one finds pair after pair that have been made. Memories of 1000 forgotten loves are above the newly-carved initials, true to all traditions scrollled within a heart. The big pennknives are still at work, although there is a tendency today to make the initials smaller and work in a verse now and then when they have time.

TOKIO HOTEL IS AMERICAN'S MECCA TOKIO, Dec. 7.—"Main Street" in the United States promises to have nothing on the Imperial hotel, Tokyo, this winter, so far as the American community in the capital is concerned. Once the meeting place of the diplomatic group, the great building where came the flappers from the tourist ships for a dance, and the American officers from the visiting ships in Yokohama, the Imperial hotel has been transformed into a meeting place for the burned-out American colony members of the city. Indeed, the American community has already given the Imperial hotel a vote of thanks, for that hostelry was just about the only building of any size left after the great quake and fire of Sept. 1. Monday morning, after the quake, found the Imperial hotel housing the American embassy, most of the American firms which had begun to gather their staffs together again, and the American Red Cross, which was headed by Brig.-General Frank McCoy. From that day, through the two weeks during which bully beef was issued from Peacock alley, once the promenade-place of Tokio's younger folk down to SPEND $1200 ON AMATEUR FANTASY Theatergoers of Anabeheim was predicted here today, help swell the attendance Temple theater, Santa Ana, on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights, the munity Players' association that city will produce "R. fantastic melodrama based on manufacture of mechanical man beings."

ENGLISH COTTON WORKERS SUFFER MANCHESTER, Eng., Dec. 7. Tales of human suffering which almost equal the famine stories out of Russia are coming to light in the Lancashire cotton districts, where trade depression has brought widespread unemployment. Dr. J. Buchanan, medical officer of health of Crompton district, declared he has found many families in abject poverty and too proud to seek poor relief. The doctor said he found numerous instances of children going to school without breakfast and having only half a slice of bread for their mid-day meal, and had gone into homes where potato peelings were boiled for dinner. Councillor Mellor corroborated many of the statements of Dr. Buchanan and said he knew of families formerly well off, but now reduced to dire poverty, whose pride kept them from seeking aid. Councillor Taylor, who is also secretary of the Operative Spinners' Ass'n., said: "We are only at the beginning of a fourth winter of trade depression, and unless something is done, the consequences are likely to be very serious." GNAWS ROPE TO RESCUE SUICIDE LONDON Dec. 7—Gnawing the rope with her teeth, Elizabeth Clark, a 17-year-old girl of Poplar, London, vainly attempted to save the life of Carl Anderson, a seaman, who committed suicide by hanging.

She told her brother to chase after them for a knife, but all declared they did not possess such a thing.
