RECORD COLD WINTER
IN NORTH U. S. FORECAST
French Meteorologist Foresees Bet
ter Weather Setting In About
Middle of December
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CAEN, France, November 30.-It
is going to be cold Winter all around
the forty-tirst parallel of latitude, as
cold as the Winter of 1740 in England,
when the Thames froze over. This
prediction is made by Able Gabriel,
Frances most distinguished meteorol-
ogist and professor in the University
of Caen.
New York, Chicago, all of Canada
and the whole of the northern part of
the United States will have a bitterly
cold Winter, which ought to set in
about the middle of December or early
in January" said the priest-meteorol-
ogist to the Associated Press.
This is my prediction, based on my
system of weather forecast. I may be
wrong, of course, but if the Winter
is cold as l have said it will be, it will
be proof that astronomic cycles do ex-
ist, and it will go far toward estab-
fishing a scientific basis for meteor
ology. France. Germany and England
will have big share in the cold
weather"
With the advent of cold weather
yesterday there are not a few persons
who believe that Able Gabriel's pre-
diCtion will come true

Children Burned to Death

Hobart, Okla.-Fire, stalking the
tracks of Santa Claus, turned a coun-
try schoolhouse into an inferno at
Ba5b's Switch, seven miles from here,
and snuffed out the lives of at least
thirty-two persons, many of them
children, who had gathered for a
Christmas eve celebration. A tiny
candle on Christmas tree ignited
ball of cotton. Little jewellers grip
ped their sacks of candy and stood
spellbound, while their elders at first
tried to put out the fire and then, as
the flames spread to the dry wood of
the flimsy structure, broke for the
single exit at the rear-a mad, scram-
bling mob fleeing from the leaping
terror at their heels.

SALT LAKE CITY
HAS COSTLY FIRE
EARLY MORNING FIRE DESTROYS
MAIN STREET BUSINESS
BLOCK
Firemen Battle in Zero Weather
Against Fire That Threatens
City; Loss Is Estimated
at $4,000

salt Lake.-One OF the rlcheSl
business blocks in Salt Lake was
threatened with destruction early
Christmas morning, when flames
practically destroyed the Hooper Ell
bridge building, 80 to 81 South Main
street.
The damage was estimated by Fire
Chief William Bywater, at $125,000,
when he surveyed the ruins. The
loss is only partially covered by IN
surance.
The damage is estimated as fol-
lows:
Western Barber Supply company,
| $4,000 to $4,000.
Hardwood Candy company, $4,000
to $4,000.
Edward E. Jenkins, $4,000 to $780,
900.
E. L. Sheets, 100000.
Martin Coal company, $4,000.
Coop Furniture company, $500.
Ashby Snow, $500.
Kelly Ice Cream company, $500.
Trinket Jewelry Shop, $4,000.
Beesely Music company, $4,000.
Owners of the building were E. L.
Sheets, E. E. Jenkins, w. R. Wallace,
John F. Bennett and the Francis Arm
strong estate.
The fire is one of the most serious
in Salt Lake in the past decade. In
many respects it resembled the La
fayette school blaze on January 10,
1922, when the State street building
was destroyed in the early morning,
with a temperature lowering below
the zero mark.
The blaze was far harder to combat
than the school fire, which caused
damage estimated at more than $780,
900.
The cause of the conflagration will
probably never be known, Chief By
water said. No clues are to be had
from the blaze, owing to the proper
lions it had assumed before the ar
rival of the department.
The alarm was turned in to the fire |
department at 1929 a. m.
The major portion of the destruc-
ton wrought by the flames was CEN
tered in the quarters occupied by the
Candy company and the
Western Barber Supply company, as
and AZ South Main street, respective
ly.
Both establishments were devoured
by the blaze, the fire eating a path
from the rear entrance of both stores
to the front doors, taking all in its
course.
The Trinket Jewelry shop, Al IL
South Main street, was one of the
heaviest sufferers, practically the en-
ire stock being destroyed either by
lanes or water.
The Coop Furniture company,
which maintained a salesroom over
he stores at SO, al and 43 South
Main streets, lost furniture in the
laze, the exact value not being de-
ermined.
The Beesley Music company, with
fly pianos stored on the second and
bird floors of the building at 81
outh Main street, suffered the loss
r damage to many of the instru-
lents. I
