CLOUDS STILL
CONTINUE To
REPLACE SUN
Valley Weather Remains Stormy
Despite Brief Appearance OF
Old Sol At Noon.
REPORT MORE SNOW SEEN
Cold Spell General Throughout
State Breaks Records Stand
ing More Than SO Years.

Old Sol struggled manfully with
heavy grey clouds today in an at
tempt to bring back Imperial VAL
ley's famous brand of sunshiny win
ter weather. The venerable god was
successful for a few moments snort
ly after noon and shone brightly
before clouds again cloaked the
sky.
Light snow fell in the valley
again last night, beginning shortly
after 8 O'Clock and continuing for
about two hours. The snow was
SO fine that many residents de-
clared it was rain. Weather bu-
reau representatives, however, re-
ported it as snow and snow it was.
The flakes melted as they arrived.
Conditions still are unssttled, ac-
cording to Fred "a. 3aughman, frost
expert and valley representative OF
the government weather bureau,
and one of several things may
happen tonight
The greatest danger from frost
at this time threatens citrus trees.
A severe frost would damage the
trees and would result in great loss
to growers, said B. A. Harrigan,
agricultural commissioner.
Huge snowballs and snowmen
constructed during the snowstorm
of Monday night were unmelted
today in many instances. They are
regarded as proof that the entire
valley was not under the influence
of universal nightmare.
Central Union high school closed
today as roads in some places made
it impossible for pupils to reach
the buildings from their homes.
The argument as to the date of
previous SHOWS in this section con-
tinued unabated today "The big
snow" is expected to be main to-
pic of conversation until hot wea-
ther" again takes the lead
LOS ANGELES, Dec. IA. U,Py-
A second rain storm which swept
in from the coast last night saved
citrus growers from a night of
sinudging by keeping temperatures
for the most part above freezing.
The precipitation was slight, am
ounting to .09 in Los Angeles for
the past "a hours, bringing the
storms total to lao and seasons
mark to 1862.
Redland'S reported a minimum
temperature of % degrees, San Ber-
nardino 81, and Imperial 33, but
the overcast sky and rain prevent
ed extensive freezing.
Snow was still piling up in the
mountains and was falling in San
Bernardino this morning, the wea-
ther bureau reported.
Continued occasional rains will
fall today and tonight, with cloudy
weather clearing late tomorrow, the
official forecast said. Low temper
atures will predominant.
The cold spell locally has set a
55-year record for so early in De-
cember, L. H. Daingerfield, official
observer, said today. The mean
temperature here since last Friday
has lowered around the as degree
mark.
Farmers were not so hard hit by
the codld wave this year, the county
agricultural commissioner said, for
oil for smudging this year sells for
IS cents barrel against $104
year ago.

British Uiti11atun1
Defied BY Persia

TEHERAN, Persia, Dec. IA. U.P)
The Persian government today
defied the British ultimatum de-
manding withdrawal of the recent
cancellation of the Anglo-Persian
oil concession by tomorrow.
A Persian note delivered to the
British legation justified cancella-
tion on the ground that the con-
cession was obtained as the re-
suit of pressure" The government
claimed the right to call the at
tention of the League of Nations
to alleged British pressure and al
legged unfair calculation of royal
ties. The Persian government, the
note charged, had not been al
lowed to check Anglo-Persian ac-
counts.

There was cracking sound,
and Ming fell to the ground,
jolted by $4,000 volts of cleo
tricity. A singed tail was his
only injury.

Doomed Battalion 'Hasty Marriage and Lesson
 in Golf Shown

The Lost Battalion" with Luis Trenker and Tela Birell in the leading roles; "Hasty Marriage, D featuring Charley Chase, and "A Lesson in Golf" having Leo Die gel as instructor and Cliff Ed wards as pupil, will be present ed tonight at Che Capitol theatre.
 In The Lost Battalion" there are spectacular scenes showing the destruction of eCollalto,' great AL pine peak. Sixteen men were in- jured by falls and results of the terrific explosion.
 Carl Hatl, responsible for the adaptation of the gripping story of strife in the Tyrol, lost an eye as the direct result of this scene "T1le Doomed Battalion is replete with scores of stirring action scenes a nd unparalleled photographic shots of the ragged Dolemites.
 Besides Trenker and Miss Bi- rell the film features Victor Var conf and Henry Armetta.
 In "Hasty Marriage" in one se- quence Chase was securely fasten- ed in the front guard or cow catcher" of a street car. While thus imprisoned he was forced to undergo in five minutes more torture than the average person goes through in life time.
 Rough Road Bew
 First he was bumped along over an extremly rough road-bed; then the seat of his trousers were set on fire. With the speed of the car flaming the fire into near blaze the car finally was halted at al cross street. A sprirlkling cart came by at the opportune moment and extinguished the fire.
 Charles was then thoroughly soaked with a liquid mixture of mcrtar and swallowed several sroonfuls endeavoring to make the scene realistic.
 To top off the havoc which had taken place, Charley discovered he had completely ruined the SITS tailored suit he was wearing.
 Gil Pratt directed the picture.
 In "A Golf Lesson" the differ ence between English and Ameri- can golf technique is demonstrated in slow motion by Diegel, noted Ague .Caliente golf pro" In the picture Edwards drives a hole in one. # @ r Tt.e #

Houston, Retired
U. S. Navy Officer,
Sides With Hawaii
Son of Rear Admiral
Aligned With Forces
Opposing Service.

Standing steadfast in his longtime
contention that Hawaii is ready for
statehood, Victor S. Kaleoaloha Hous-
ton. Hawaiian delegate in Congress,
presents the somewhat unusual spec
tacle of former naval officer aligning
himself with civil authorities and in
conflict with the service Of which he
was once a part.
While in his veins flows some of the
native blood of Hawaii Houston's father
was a rear admiral. and he himself
served in the Navy following his gradu-
alton from Annapolis. through two wars
and until his retirement in 1926.
On Hawaii's right to home rule, Dele
gate Houston took his Standard was
surprised. he said, and hurt, when that
position brought him letters upbraiding
him for countenancing the events which
led up to the Fortescue-M assie case.
Entire Affair Disagreeable.
"I have never tried to excuse the
happenings in Hawaii am not excuS-
ing them now" Houston said. The en-
tire affair has been so disagreeable to
me I don't care to even talk Of 1t
further"
Houston was born in San Francisco,
son of the late Rear Admiral Edwin
Samuel Houston, United States Navy,
and OF Caroline Poor Kahikliola Brick
wood, part Hawaiian, and member Of
one of Honolulu's oldest and proudest
families.
In the wandering way of Navy chill
dren, Houston went to school to Ores
den, Saxony, Lausanne, Switzerland and
Washington, and then to the Annapolis
Naval Academy finishing with the class
of 1897.
Retired as Commander in 1926.
He served on the old U. S. s. Iowa
throughout the Spanish American War,
the ship commanded by William Thomas
Sampson, who was sent to investigate
the destruction Of the Maine in Havana
Harbor
Houston rose In rank, served in China
and through the World War, finally re-
firing in 1926 as a commander.
AS Hawaii's delegate in the House, he
has no vote, but can introduce bills and
debate them on the floor. He also has
on-voting, but vocal place on several
committees which deal with Hawaiian
affairs.
