The attendance this year will be more than three times that of any similar Christmas party given for poor children by the super-gTOcery firm.

Tickets will be provided the local children and no one without a ticket will be permitted to sit at the first table, W. A. Gates said. This Is done to avoid confusion. Miss Lillian M. Roberts, American Red Cross secretary In charge of the guest list, announced today that 550 children already had been registered for the Medford area and about 600 for the rural districts. Tickets, she stated, were to be mailed today. Miss Roberts arranged with Mr. Gates today to send dinners to the homes of needy children unable to attend because of illness. Transpor tation for those living close to Med ford Is still needed. Mrs. Roberts said, and asked for volunteers who can assist. The food list today showed these Items: 750 pounos of turkey, 300 pounds of potatoes. 40 gallons of peas 200 pounds of cranberries, 200 loaves of bread for dressing, 2,000 dinner rolls, 75 gallons of milk, 200 big pumpkin pies, 200 bunches of celery, 100 pounds of butter, 20 gallons of olives and 2,000 Christmas cookies.

According to city police records. Toshl has been a source of trouble for some time In Medford. Last night the proprietor of a local Japanese restaurant called city police and told them that Yoshi had tele phoned them, warning them that he was coming in to "get even" with them for turning him in to police on a drunk charge. Police went to the restaurant and arrested him and Kay Takao, 45. the moment they put in an appearance. Yoshl is the man who received le vcre finger cuts when he deflected the knife with which it was claimed Myles Randall attempted to stab a woman in a brawl several weeks ago. Randall committed suicide in the county Jail rather than return to the state penitentiary for parole viola tion, after being arrested on a charge of assault growing out of the stab bing fray. Takao was also at the "party." Takao, arrested Saturday night on a charge of drunk and disorderly con duct, was to have appeared in city court Monday morning to face charges, but failed to put In an ap pearance. This morning, because of a serious nose-bleed, he was unable to appear, and was still In jail this afternoon. SEMI -ANNUAL. SALE Now in progress ETHELWYN B HOFFMANN. CRATERIAN Beauty Shop 41 8.

GRAND JURY FACES FRESH ENIGMA IN DEATH OFACTRESS Wife of Dead Beauty's Partner Saw Her in Molly wood at 11 P.

The garage was below the home owned by Mrs. West. A coroner's Jury deciding the ac tress death was caused by carbon monoxide poisoning, "probably acci dental," recommended further inves tigation. Mrs. West whose estranged husband was co-partner with Miss Todd in a seaside cafe venture, said she was positive the blonde haired woman was the actress.
