BLIzzARDS IN
 SO.CALIFORNIA
 NOW PROMISED

 So. Cal. University

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Dec. g. A conquest over the elements which enables science to make snow fly despite the balmy climes of South ern California, is revealed today in the announcement of Dr. John Mead Adams, Associate Professor of Physics, of the University of Cali fornia at Los Angeles.

REV. SAUNDERS IS INSTALLED
 AS MINISTER
Special Services Are Held at Northern Light
 Presbyterian

The installation of the Rev. C. c. Saunders, as the new pastor of the Northern Light Presbyterian church took place at o'clock last night, following a sermon by the Rev R F. Pederson, of Skagway.
 The Rev. David Waggoner gave the obligation which binds the new minister to the Presbytery of Alas ka, and then asked that he might be permitted, as an older minister, to speak "as a father to his son. ? He read quotations from the Book of Paul, dwelt at some length on the duties of a pastor, offered few words of advice about the course to pursue in preserving the tenets of the church against shift ing fads in religion which are con- stantly encroaching on the old faith and asked him to lean on the con- gregation in times of trouble.
 The Rev. R. F. Pedersop then traced the history of the Presby- terian Church in Alaska, and turn ing to the Rev. Saunders, told him of the great opportunity which had come to him and charged the con- gretation to accept Rev. Saunders as shepherd, asking for loyal sup port and faithful Christian life in the home and in the office.
 The Rev. Waggoner offered resolution expressing the apprecia- ton of the congregation for the services conducted by the Rev. Hen- " Young, of the Methodist Church, while the pastorate was va ant through the illness of former pas- tor O. A. Stillman. He then asked the congregation to go forward d and greet their new minister.

 Plot in Theatre

NEW YORK. CITY, Dec. g.

 The "talkies" scared the intrud- CTS away.
 The robbers entered the theatre and strapped Edward Jones, watch man, aged 68, and his son Charles, also a watchman, to orchestra seats and then started to pull a cord tight aroung the younger mans throat in an effort to make the father tell the combination of the safe.
 Then a faint sound of voices was heard.
 one of the roboerS ran and open ed the door of the managers office and the voices grew louder.
 Frightened. the robbers ran to the exit and escaped.
 The watchmen investigated and back on the stage found electricians working on the talkie mechanism which had been out of order. They were so far back in the theatre they had not heard the robbers.

 provement Proposed

An official survey of lower Front Front Street to determine the exact line of the thoroughfare will be made before any definite improve menu program is adopted. This was determined by the City Council Saturday evening when it held the meeting postponed from Friday night owing to lack of a quorum.

 Mayor Judson announced that there was little probability of the new City float being constructed this winter. It has been found impossible to get the piling driven for the floats. he said. However, the road around the face of the Alaska Juneau rock dump will be constructed during the winter and the float put in early next spring, it was said.
 The major Improvements on the City dock property have been com pleted, it was reported to the Coun- cil. The big warehouse has been cut through and completed, The warm storages are almost finished. A large and modern waiting room will be added in the immediate fu- ture.
 The passage of the ordinance to curb radio interference by requir- ing certain spark machines to be licensed was deferred by the Coun- cil Saturday. The bill, in third reading, was postponed until the next meeting in order to allow two minor changes to be made in it.

 Saturday was the first day since Eielson disappeared on November 12 that weather conditions were anything like favorable for flying. said a telegram received by Gov. George A. Parks from c. L. Thonp- son of Fairbanks, manager of the Airways.
 Four Planes Starting With five planes ready for serv- ice in addition to the one cracked up by Dorbandt last week all efforts to get them through to Seward Peninsula have failed owing to se- we're weather conditions. Saturday the first of these got in motion when Pilot Barnhill and Mechanic Mueller hopped off from Fairbanks in Standard plane for Teller via Ruby and reached Nome Sunday.
 A second standard plane left Anchorage Sunday. It was piloted by Matt Niemenen who was &C., companied by Mechanic Cope. It is destined for Teller.
 Today Pilot Ed Young was schad- uled to have left Fairbanks flying in a Stearman plane, and Pilot Gilman was due to have left the same field in Swallow plane, both headed for Teller.
 These machines. with Joe Cros- sons ship, now repaired, puts five airplanes at the disposal of the Airway for rescue work. Grahams plane, operated by an independent company of Nome people. is not suitable for the undertaking. Its gas capacity is so small that it cal carry only enough fuel for a round- trip to the Nanuk, which would prevent it from taking part in the search.
