Five people were injured when four

a delivery truck driven by Pritts and
travelling in the opposite direction.
The machines collided in a binding
snowstorm and two trucks few min
utes later plowed into the wreckage.
One truck, owned by the Pittsburgh
Provision and Packing Company, was
operated by Melvin L. Steckman, of
Cumberland. The other was driven by
French V. McElroy, of Morgantown,
w. Va, and was owned by the Blue

RECORD SCATTERING COLD
WAVE HITS THIS COUNTY
Binding Snow Storm Strikes
Yesterday-Mercury Sinks To
20 Degrees Below Zero
TOUGHEST NIGHT IN YEARS

Heralded by binding snow storm
late yesterday, the seasons record
SCATTERING cold wave last night swept
Garrett county and the tri-state area.
Termed the toughest night since
we have been keeping records" at
Weber's south of town, a low of 20
degrees below zero was recorded this
morning with strong winds prevailing.
While the mercury has gone lower
than this it has never occurred while
accompanied by high winds, since rec
ords have been kept here. 49,.
Yesterdays blizzard struck Oakland
about the middle of the afternoon and
soon had three or more inches Of snow
added to what had already fallen over
the weekend. 1t was impossible to
see for more than 20 feet and the
heavy snowfall continued until late at
night.
High winds whipped the snow about,
closing several state roads in the coun-
ty and causing traffic to be almost at
a standstill. The State Roads COM
mission announced that all state roads
would be open this afternoon. The
Deer Park-Sand Flat road and the
National highway west of Keyser's
Ridge were drifted over in spots.
Several State trucks were out of COM
mission early this morning but were
repaired and put to work.
Mr.. Weber predicted colder weather
for tonight.
Schools Close
With less than 100 pupils reporting
to the Oakland Grammar school this
morning school was ordered dismissed
and it was uncertain whether there
would be any classes tomorrow.
A school bus last evening failed to
deliver it's passengers to their homes
and returned to Oakland where the
pupils stayed with friends.
About $50 attended High school this
morning and F. D. Bittle, principal,
stated school would probably dismiss
this afternoon. Only two school busses
were able to make the trip this morn
ing.
Heavy Snowfall Over Weekend
Just as Garrett county had about
fully recovered from the huge snow
fall of a month ago, Old Man Winter
handed this section another blow
which put conditions back where they
were-fourteen inches of snow, near
zero weather, county roads blocked,
and business in general handicapped
by the inability of farmers to get to
town.
The storm struck Saturday evening
and was general throughout the east
esn section of the United States, with
sections just east of Grarett county
getting larger amount of snow than
fell here.
All the snow from the last storm
had not entirely disappeared when this
latest storm struck the county. A
total of IL inches fell in the open, ac-
cording to government records at
Weber's, while Ralph Weber, in charge
of the station, said the fall was much
heavier in the woods and sheltered
areas.
During December and January thus
far more than so inches of snow has
fallen, and old-timers have stated
there has not been such winter for
many years. The winter of 1917 would

White Is Fashion FavOrite In South
Shorts Favored
For Sports Wear
At The Resorts
BY Doris Lockett

THE opening of the southern
resort season finds white once
again the fashion favorite, but
white with an entirely new
personality, white used as a bril-
liant foil for color, white as
background for fantastic prints.
Whether the scene is the deck of
a smart cruise liner or the sun
drenched patio of an important
desert resort, white is going to
dazzle the eye of the beholder and
fiatter, as nothing else can, the
creamy sun-tan complexion of the
fashionable follower of the sun.
The costumes of shorts and
shirts pictured on this page are
forerunners of the southern sea-
son, the sort of thing that women
of chic collect for winter vaca-
tons. Shorts are highly favored
for beach, deck and casual resort
play hours. Many of the shorts
are pleated all the way around,
or have an inverted pleat at the
front that practically conceals the
trouser division. Blouses that go
with them are frequently made
like old-fashioned shirtwaists, yet
are fetchingly young and so
simply designed that they have
the tailored air that is so utterly
correct for play clothes.
Pictured is a new shorts cos
tune of an interesting printed
fabric with a white ground. This
is the newest theme in the cool
smooth acetate material known as
sharkskin which has taken the
world of fashion by storm for
sports things. Here the vivid color
is applied in a gay print, nautical
in theme, and the dark buttons
placed to give flattering slim
look through the hips, match the
color of the print. One of the new
est examples of the advance
sports fashion of color used to
make white whittier, and the whole
costume more striking.
~ FF to the sunshiny places of
~ the world are going cottons
gay in pattern and interesting in
weave, as well as linens often of
the rather coarse peasant type
and the new uncrushable ones that
are more loosely woven Pictured
on this page is costume of linen
shorts and a polo shirt of nubby
inen; just the thing for an all
around play costume for winter
resort wear. Here the shorts are
smartly tailored of white linen,
and the simple polo-type shirt is
of a creamy natural shade. This
unexpected combination of white
and off-white is decidedly becom-
ing.

youthful wearer. Around her trim
waist she has fastened belt that

a certain international chic to the
entire outfit.
All these costumes have the
virtue of being tubable.
All the new southern clothes
give one sense of exhilaration.
1t arises, perhaps, from the way
in which they are fashioned. From
them one gains an impression of
freedom of motion. Nearly all the
dresses have skirts cut to give
them a swing at the hem. The
fullness starts below the hips.
