Half the ill-will of Europe could have been avoided if American poli- ticians had told its people-in the first place that the entire war debt would be canceled and our friends the Allies required to repay only what they borrowed after the armis- tice, but that would have involved telling the American people.

Christmas spirit grips the National Capital. Slowly but surely the enthusiasm of the holiday season has been creeping upon those who dwell within the lim- its of Greater Washjngton until today, two days before Christmas, good will and peace toward fellow men is the watchword of the hour. “A Srighter Community Christmas” has been the appeal of The Washing- ton Post, and Greater Washington hag responded as only the heart of the Na- tion can respond to a worthy cause. A bright star of Bethlehem guided the three wise men to the manger of the Christ-child 1928 years ago, and since that moment symbols of light have marked each succeeding observ- ance of Christmas. This year’s Christmas program in Greater Washington indicates a desire to spread cheer and joy to every home, with giving to the needy, 4 source of happiness for all who can afford to aia in such a cause. Good Will Spirits in Evidence. Few will be overlooked as Christmas Day arrives for individuals and char- ity organizations, through annual ap- peals and private donations have ar- ranged comfort and assistance to the poor, the sick and. the _ friendless. Through all these preparations runs a spirit of good will to all. For the United States. of America, | the Christmas season will be officially opened tomorrow night at 8 o'clock when President Calvin Coolidge, ac- companied by Mrs. Coolidge, attends the ceremonies at the national Christ- mas tree in Sherman Square. The President has consented to turn on the lights illuminating this huge tree and the throwing of the switch, deco- rating the national tree will be the signal for similar demonstrations all over the ‘country. Many Homes Decorated. Washington, with its reputation for beauty which brings visitors from all parts of the world, will uphold that reputation during the holiday period Homes of Washingtonians will be decorated as artistically as those in any other city. Communities within the borders of the District of Columbia will have celebrations and community trees Washington will be the show place ol the Nation between Christmas and New Year’s as it is during the remainder of the year. In the churches of the District the observance of Christmas begins today Sermons on the birth of Christ pre- dominate on programs for the morning and evening services with special choral singing.of Christmas carols as addi- tional features of the usual program. Pageants by children of Sunday school age and by the young people’s societies will be presented throughout the holiday week. Many churches have Christmas tree celebrations planned, at which candy and gifts will be dis- tributed to the boys and girls of the congregations.

LADUE DECLARES Easy to Evade Prosecutions, Commissioner Says; May Appeal for Congress Aid. Approximately 500 cases of allged vio- lation of local fire regulations were re- ported yesterday to Col. John W. Oeh- mann, District Building inspector, in a report submitted by Fire Marsha! L. V. Seib. These alleged violations, Seib said. represent only a part of those believed tu have been committed inasmuch as these. figures were gathered as a re- sult of a partial survey only. Due to the many loopholes and ap- parent inadequacy of the present law, enacted in 1906 and amended in 1907, Col, William B. Ladue, District engineer commissioner, yesterday declared Dis- trict officials are giving the matter their thorough attention, to determine the advisability of asking Congress for a more stringent act governing fire regu- lations If a new law deemed advisable. Col. Ladue said, it will be presented to Congress for their consideration in order to be placed on the December calendar of tne next Congress. Col. Ladue said he did. not believe Cong- ress would have time to consider a new act at the present session or during special session if one is called by Pres!- dent-elect Herbert Hoover matters more important is a because’ of « Keport on Tragedy Submitted, A complete report of conditions, with to fire regulations, at 201 C northwest, where two persons lost their lives as a result of the fire | ! ! c i Sunda late today by airplane to return to her | W hich wrecked the building last Su v night also was submitted to Col. Ladue yesterday The commissioner said he had not had time enough to consider the report, but would study it tomorrow, and then determine whether the fire regulations had been violated. District officials yesterday pointed out. that, due to the inadequacy of pro- visions in the present act, it is an easy mater in most instances to evade the fire rgeulations without fear of prosecution. One of the provisions in the present act is that it shall be the duty of the owneér of any building three or more stories in height, or over 30 feet in height, constructed or used or in- tenced to be used as a tenement house, apartment house, flat, hotel, hospital, seminary, academy, school, college, institution, dormitory asylum. sanitarium, hall, place of amusement or office building or store, te have erected one or more fire escapes. It will be noted, officials point out, that no reference is made to the owners of rooming houses Proprietors Evade Law. As a result of this loophole in the present act, many proprietors of small hotels, evade being licensed as such and also evade the necessity of build- ing fire escapes by not serving meals in their establishment, thereby being able successfully to have their estab- lishment come under the» technical classification of rooming houses In some of these so-called “rooming houses,” but which are nothing more nor less than small hotels which should come under the provisions of the act, Fire Marshal Seib said his inspectors reported persons living on the upper floors would not have a chance of es- cape should fire break out at night. It is for the purpose of forcing pro- prietors of houses of this character to install fire escapes and other neces- sary equipment that District officials are considering asking Congress for a4 new law. Another provision in the present act governing fire regulations which Dis- trict officials believe needs amendinz is that governing the giving of notice. In referring to a recent case by way of explanation, officials said the pro- prietor of a rooming house installed certasn equipment which automatically changed the premises into an apart- ment house, Notice was given that the fire regula- tions would have to be complied. with. They were, and the premises reverted again into the classification of a room- ing house. After a fire had occurred, however, it was discovered the estab- lishment was teing, operated as an apartment house. The owner was not liable to prosecution, it was pointed out, inasmuch as he had complied with the first order and had not been. given notice concerning the change of the ‘premises again tu one of an apartment house.

Several hours passed and a son-in-law called the house.

STRUCTURE IS RAZED AFTER 200 ARE SAFE Boy Scout Leads Little Child From Scene of Blaze; Panic Prevented. Tragedy was barely averted at Laurel, Md., about 7 o’clock last night when more than 200 patrons filed out of the Red Wing Moving Picture Theater @ few minutes before it became a roars ing furnace of flames. The frame building was wrecked and although Philip Merrill, the owner and manager, curtly refused to discuss the fire in any of its phases, G. B. Ti- manus, fire chief, estimated the loss to be between $10,000 and $12,000. Panic on the part of the little city’s theater-going populace in attendance at the first of the usual two Saturday night shows was averted by the prese- ence of mind of Mr. Merrill and othe ers, who, immediately the fire was dis- covered, set about calming. the more alarmed of the spectators. “You can put in what you damn well please,” said Mr. Merrill, when ree quested for information concerning the fire, but from others it was learned ape proximately how many men, women and children were in the theater, how they were told there was no danger and how, orderly walking out, took the leaders at their word. Boy Scout Helps Child. Arthur Reming on, 13-year-old Boy Scout, and his scowytmaster, Henry R. Coates, were two of the outstanding figures in preventing a panic, While Coates stood up and called to the movie patrons to be orderly, young |Remington jumped over the back: of his seat and went to the aid of @ bee wildered little child who had remained in his seat. Fearing the child, whom he said he had never seen before, would. be crushed in the rush to the exits, Ar- thur placed him ahead and held back the crowd until he could lead the little boy to safety. Coates had gone to the theater with his two daughters, Grace, 8 years, and Laura, 7 years. Suddenly, he said, “in the midst of the comedy the film stopped and the lights flashed on.” Turning toward the rear to see the cause, Coates said, “he saw flames breaking through the ceiling.” It was at this point that Coates was one of those who stood up and called to the boys and girls to be quiet. After the theater was almost vacated Coates took his children and left by the exits near the screen. Wiring Blamed for Blaze. The possibilities of the blaze spread- ing to other buildings in the heart of the business section of Laurel prompted a call to the fire depart _ ments of Hyattsville, Mount Rainier, Bladensburg, Cottage City and Camp Meade for aid, and the fire departments Index to Today’s Issue Pages.

In addition to the large crowd which was in the theater, several hundred ad- ditional citizens of Laurel assembled tn the square to watch the fire. As the volunteers of the Laurel department, assisted by fire fighters from fhe neigh- boring towns who came to their aid, got the flames under control. however, interest diminished until only a few were still on hand at 10 o'clock. Grave anxiety was displayed by: the entire city during the early stages of the fire, and this was not lessened un- tit.it was definitely learned that every- body had left the theater. Mothers and fathers who had permitted their children to attend the show rushed down the street panic stricken when they heard the theater was in flames, and did not calm down until they learned the whole family was safe. Mr. Timanus was among the first to arrive at the scene. He entered the theater before the patrons had left and assisted in keeping them quiet and or- derly. Among the others who assisted in fighting the fire were Fire Capt. G. W. Baker, J. Skaggs, H. W. Skaggs, F. Y,. Brwin, H. Poist, L. A. Fulton, Charles Ruby, E. W. Stanton, Milton Baker and Trank Owens. This was not all, by any means, however, only those whose Names could be obtained after the fire was under control. Offer Aid. When the smoldering tar paper cov- ering the roof of the theater burst into flames many passersby ran to tele- phones to notify the volunteer fire de- partment. Dr. Heberson probably was the first to reach the fire house and give the alarm, which was followed a secona later by the: screeching of the siren calling the volunteers to- gether. Ellsworth Fatrail, of 312 Washington boulevard, saw the flames from his home, two squares away, and immediately called the volunteer fire department at Hyattsville. From there the alarm was spread to the other towns. The motion picture machine in the theater was operated by W. A. Higdon, of 736 Tenth street southeast, an em- pioye of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, who works in the Red Wing at night. Firemen were told that it was while Merril! was in the profec- tiolt! room talking to Higdon that he first saw smoke and sent in the alarm.

STATE ASKS THAT TWO DIE Chicago, Dec. 22 (U.P.).—The Mafia’s future in Chicago rested with a jury tonight at the end of a trial in which Black Hand terrorists murdered the State’s star witness and made threats of death against the judge and prose- cutors. Never before had justice in Chi- cago labored under such a burden of wholesale intimidations as in the trial oOo. three men accused of kidnaping 10- year-old Billy Ranieri, rich real estate man’s son, and holding him thirteen days for $60,000 ransom. It was an open-and-shut case of life or death for the extortionists and they fought with their backs to the wall. When Ol2 Scully, wealthy contractor, was subpenaed and promised to tes- tify against the “blackhands” they trapped him in a cafe ic.w hours be- fore he was due to appear in court and beat him to death. Next day Angelo Petittl, one of the defendants in the Ranier; case,,and alleged head of the extortion ring, was quoted as saying In court that Mike DiVito, another State witness, “will be the next man te die.” Today while prosecutors were de- manhding that the jury impose the death penalty on Petittl and Andrew Capellano, a Black Hand note was re- ceived by Alex Frank Ranieri, father of the Kidnap victim, saying, “You die after Mike DIiVito.” Judge Robert E. Gentzel. who had after the murder of Ole Scully, warned to “quit the case now or die, too.” Sam Huffman and his staff of assist- ant State’s attorneys became so alarmed Over the wave of intimidations—Huff- man was threatened with -bombing— that they sent their wives and children out of town and registered under sumed names at Loop hotels. Every principal jn the case was civen elaborate police protection throughout the trial Little Billy Ranieri himself was guarded day and night by police and detectives who carried him tween his home and the courtroom tn a large squad car.

Shuey Reealls Debates Famous Orators. me ee + Historic by Whether the United States senators of today are the peers of thelr prede- cessors is a question the asking of which can only end in an argument, but there is one thing about them that must be true--they talk better. Anyway, that is the bellef of The- odore F. Shuey; and Shuey ought to know, for yesterday he rounded out 60 years as a shorthand reporter in the Senate. The occasion was noted by Vice Presi- dent Dawes, who, in a brief speech, called the attention of the Senate to Shuey’s long service. While Dawes talked, Shuey was bent over his short- hand book, taking down what was be- ing said about him. Senator Heflin, of Alabama, declared that the records of Shuey and those of Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, of the Supreme Court, and Senator War- ren, of Wyoming, went far to refute the doctrine of Sir William Osler that a man should be chloroformed at the age of 60. Shuey and Warren are 84, and Holmes is approaching 88. The fastest talker that he ever had to “catch,” Shuey said yesterday, was Senator William A. Clark, of Arkansas, who died in 1910. So rapid and so indistinct was Clark’s speech, the vet- eran said, that is was virtually im- possible to note his words. Shuey believes that the finest orator in his time was Senator Charles Sum- ner, of Massachusetts, but he believes that the most effective was Senator John Sherman, of Ohio. Shuey just throws his hands up in the air when he is asked to estimate how many words he has taken down in his long career. However, there is one way the figure might be estimated. Reuel Small, the dean of the short- hand men in the House, has estimated that in his 30 years in that chamber he has taken down about 50,000,000 words. 7 Thus, in a period twice that long, the Niagara of oratory that probably tumbled on to Shuey’s book, must have amounted to about 100,000,000 werds. “The Black Crook,” given heré in December, 1868, was responsible for Shuey’s becoming a reporter in the Senate. While on his way to Balti- more to work on a newsppaer, Shuey stopped off to see the play, and here he met Richard Sutton, who headed the corps of reporters in ‘the Senate. Sutton, an omy rere who had sat in the press gallery. of the House of Commons with Charles Dickens, hired Shuey, and the latter has been in the Senate ever since. When he started there were-no type- Henry Miller Service. THEODORE F. SHUEY. writers and no dictaphones, and hence the work was twice as hard and twice as long. His notes had to be tran- scribed in longhand, and he rarely got home before midnight. Now he and the others are finished an hour after the Senate adjourns. Shuey was born near Staunton, Va., and still makes his home there. He began the study of shorthand when, as a farm boy of 14, he came into pos- session of a Pittman’s manual, He con- tinued to study it when he went to Otterbein College, in Westerville, Ohio. After he was” graduated, Shuey worked on several newspapers, includ- ing the Richmond Whig, before settling here, In his long career, Shuey has sat through a score of celebrated filibus- ters. He helped to take down the words of Senator Jones, of Washington, when that indefatigable member talked for 13 hours and 55 minutes against the administration shipping bill during a 54-hour session in the Sixty-third Con- gress; he also did his 15-minute spells while Smoot, of Utah, was talking for twelve hours without a break against the same measure, and he also cov- ‘ered the famous La Follette filibuster. of 1908. Back in 1876, when a senatorial com- mittee was conducting a hearing on the West Coast, Shuey took down tes- timony from 9 in the morning until 11 at night with only a break of one hour for dinner. ' real BROWNING'S PARTY WILD RIOT; & HURT Broadway Blocked as Women and Children Fight to Get “Daddy’s” Gifts. 150 POLICE CALLED OUT New York, Dec. 22 (N.Y.W.NS.).— What was to have been a peaceful, though huge philanthropy by Edward W. Browning, turned into.a riot this morning, when hundreds of children tried simultaneously to get into the estate man’s office at No. 1860 Broadway for his annual Christmas party. A sudden surge of the crowd sent two dozen or more women and children crashing through the large plate-glass window of the Nathanson Automobile Exchange on the ground floor. a result five youngsters and one woman were hurt, and two of them were taken to hospitals. Dozens of others were trampled and bruised. Riot Calls Sounded, Riot calls brought out 150 extra policemen from four stations. It took them an hour and gq half, however, to clear space for even the semblance of traffic to move on Broadway and it was several hours before things were moving normally. In addition, 24 children separated from mothers in the frenzied mob kept the West Sixty-eighth street police sta- tion tn a turmoil until the last of them was Claimed and taken away. The riot was the climax of a day in which some 115,000 persons, according to police estimate, after standing in line for hours, passed into “Daddy Browning's” silver and gilt and crystal office on the second floor, received gifts of beads, whistles, colored tassels, hand- kerchiefs and perfume, from two dozen Santa Clauses, and moved out again. A line of women and children four or five deep extended all the way around the block from 6 in the morning until evening and police judged that they got into the “party” at the rate of 12,000 to 15,000 an hour Browning's own guess was a total of 40,000 visitors. Police Are Overwhelmed, The police on duty were overwhelmed in the mob. Browning, learning what had happened, called the West regis eighth street police station, but the reserves and the ambulances that soon arrived could not get through to the injured. Calls for additional police- men brought a total of 150 Browning said he had bought 800,000 | presents at a cost of $100,000, all con- tributed by himself.

Canton, Ohio,:Dec. 22 (A.P.).—Ques- tioned for seven hours today, Wilbur O. Heldman, husband of Mrs. Margaret Heldman, who declared she confessed to the slaying of Bernard E. Fearn, Waco coa’ dealer, December 6, and took her own life, will go through another ex- amination Monday in the attempt of Or: Slater, of Cincinnati, special de- tective, to determine what caused the death of the two persons. The authorities declined to say whether any progress had been made in their attempt to break down Heldman’s story of his wife’s suicide. A close check of all circumstances in the case has revealed certain discrepancies in his stroy, which he told to Sheriff Gib- son, to whom Heldman brought his wife’s body a week after the slaying of Fearn, Heldman has insisted that when he learned that his wife had slain Fearn he brought her to Canton intending. to turn her over to authorities and that as they neared the city she took her own life.

He was sentenced to two years In prison, At that time he was serving his ninth term as a member of the House and was chairman of the public buildings and grounds committee. After the Supreme Court declined to review Langley’s case he resigned from the House and began his sentence in Atlanta in January, 1926. He appealed to the voters of his district to send Mrs. Langley to take his place in the House “to save our home.” Mrs. Lang- ley won the election and was reelected last November.

VIEW IS SENT CONGRESS (Associated Press.) The question whether the President killed the Muscle Shoals bill or allowed it to become law by failing to sign it at the fag end of the last session of Con- gress still was undecided yesterday after a Department of Justice memorandum on pocket vetoes was transmitted to Congress, The 99-page statement, dated last Oc- tober 10 and forwarded to the House with a brief letter of transmittal by the President, contained no conclusions and merely went into the history of bills sent to the President within less than ten days of adjournment of Congress and remaining unsigned, Instances were cited as far back as 1815 where such measures were not al- lowed to become law, but the only ref- erence to Muscle Shoalg was the fact that the measure still wag at the White |House with a penciled memorandum, “Pocketed,” attached, Lewis Deschler, House parllamenta- rian, expressed the opinion, however, that the “weight of the cases and prece- i'dents cited tends to bear out the con- ‘clusion that a bill not signed within | the ten days’ limitation as prescribed i|by the Federal Constitution does not become law, irrespective of whether the | ten-day limitation 1s at the final ad- |journment of Congress or between ses- i|sions of Congress,” | ~The Muscle Shoals bill was receiy.d ‘at the White House May 26, 1928, three days before Congress adjourned. Sen- jator Norris (Republican), Nebraska, has leontended that Congress was merely in irecess after May 29 and until the sec- ond session of the Seventieth Congress |began and that failure of the President |to sign the bill automatically placed it | on the statute books. A case involving ithis point Is pending in the Supreme | | Court. | The Attorney General's memorandum ‘related that unsigned bills are found in 'four places—-in the custody of the Sec- ‘retary of the Senate, the manuscript 'division of the Library of Congress, the ‘archives of the State Department and the White House.

Spread, Water Route Employed. The movement has been by the water route on boats up the Paraguay River, the correspondent said. He added that in spite of orders prohibiting women from accompanying the soldiers, several hoat loads of women camp followers had left for the border district.

Paraguayans fear that the presence of Bolivian forces in the Chaco country may provide new fights, despite the re- ports from Washington that the Pan- American Conference is making satis- factory progress toward adjustment of the dispute, La Prensa’s correspondent said.

HOOVER Rio Janeiro, Dec. 22 (A.P.}.—Herbert | Hoover, replying to President Washing- ton Luis of Brazil, at a banquet in the | National Palace tonight said: “You have given expression to the noble and elevated friendship of Brazil for my country and you have formu- | lated in words of courtsey the welcome which has overwhelmed myself and my colleagues since our landing yester- day on your shores. “It is difficult indeed to make a reply which adequately represents the re- sponse of all our hearts to the atmo- sphere of charming kindness and friendliness of the people of your great city. I hope my visit here will. be ac- cepted as the responsive sentiment of 110,000,000 of my countrymen toward the people of Brazil. “I know that on these occasions it is usual to refer to that unbroken span | : | definitely organize and greatly enlarge | of good will which traverses the whole history of our two continents. Nor is it trite or commonpleace to give voice to these facts for when true friends | meet the renewal of their expressions | ; responsive human heart. “It has been good will far beyond the formal relationships between na- tions. It has been proven by sym- pathy and mutual support in times of trial and by mutual satisfaction times of success and triumph. Affection. “Never has a cloud passed even in our dry words of diplomatic communi- cation. Public opinion betwecr our two peoples has always been most happy. “No one could fail to be moved by the hundreds of thousands of smil- ing men and women and joyous chil- dren who lined your streets in demon- stration of the feeling they have toward my countrymen. No language can in- terpret the overwhelming waves of sentiment they have extended to us. “It is itself proof of complete confi- dence in the serene and helpful friend- ship between our countries. “We have established between us a powerful tradition of earnest cooper- ation to common welfare. To main- tain that tradition is not only an ob- ligation but a satisfaction to every leader in my country. To impair or destroy its growth would be an act of unparalicled wickedness, for in it les the most benevolent of all *human forces, that of peace, not through fear but through affection. “Friendship. between nations is far more dependent upon sympathy and understanding than upon material in- terests. But the cultivation of forces which lead to this end does not pre- clude mutual economic interest. “Some persons seem to think that trade between nations is solely for money-making purposes, and therefore is more often a source of friction than of good will. Yet, as a matter of fact, economic interchange is a part of the whole and mutual civilization. Exchange Vitally Important. “I know of no better instance of eco- nomic mutuality of nations than that of Brazil and the United States. A large part of Brazil Mes in the trop- ical zone and possesses unlimited op- po-tunity for tropical productions. My country is wholly in the temperate zone. “With every advance of human com- fort and luxury, with every step of in- vention, the exchange of products of the tropical and temperate zones, whiah n2ither can itseif produce, has become Oo: @ more vital importance. “A century ago our countries could and did live a primitive life without the exchange of products of the tem- perate zone for coffee, rubber and a score of other articles. Today. however, but for the products we exchange, not # single automobile would run, not a single dynamo turn, not a telephone, telegraph or radio operate, and a thou- sand daily luxuries would disappear. In fact, without these exchanges of com- modities huge masses of humanity who lave become dependent upon an intens- ive and ‘high attuned civilization, could not be kept alive. “I could point out the same depend- ent relations on trade in almost every country. Therefore, let none think that Liternational trade is only the noisy d:ckeririg of merchants and bankers—it is the life blood of modern civilization. Other Forms of Exchange. “Another form of exchange where mutual interests rise to the highest as- pects is the exchange of scientific ideas, experience in government, intellectual thoiight and cultyre. “In our two great continents we are still in the making of a material civili- zation. We are still engaged in ex- pansion of transportation, electrical power development and improvement of agriculture. We are still pushing high- ways across plains and mcuntains, we are still bridging streams, digging har- bors and waterways, we are still com- bating the ravages of disease. We are about to undertake communication by airplane, “The experience in applied science and in administration which each vf us gains from these undertakings is the joint fund of us all. Science and tech- nology knaw no fears and know all languages. Nor is this field of intel- lectual ideas and exchanges confined to science and technology and the results of scientific research. The development of literature, art, music and drama, the inspiration of lofty thought, morals and ideals are forces which: make for in- creasing satisfaction and nobility among men. “I should like to see a more definitely organized effort not only between cul- tural institutions—especially students. teachers and professional men—of my country and your country, but between all our\ Western nations.

S NAMED SENATOR 37 Chosen by King as Mem- bers of New Body; Duce Laids Progress. FINAL SESSION IS HELD Rome, Dec. 22: (A.P.).—Premier Mus- solini wound up the last session of the Italian senate tonight with a speech voicing the utmost faith in Italy's destiny. After paying tribute to the memory of the late Marshal Cadorna and com- | plimenting the senators on the pa- triotism they had shown, he extolled the “gigantic steps” taken in the six years of Fascism, adding that the Italian people had “a road of future” before it which it would traverse con- scious of its strength and position in the world. The premier closed with homage to King Victor Emmanuel, to the armed forces of the nation and the ItlIalian people. New Senators to Be Announced, It was the last time the senate wil) meet as at present constituted. The names of 35 new senators probably will be published tomorrow. After Tomaso Tittoni, retiring presi- dent of the senate, had made his last ' address, Premier Mussolini thanked the ' dent Tittoni, senate for its work. He praised Presi- saying the latter had conducted the senate’s discussions with much tact and patriotism. Announcing that Tittonl was determined in his intention to retire for a rest, the pre- mier said this would be learned with disappointment by all. “To sweeten | this abandonment,” he added, “another in jurisprudence, are | eminent and no less important post will be offered to him.” Pays Tribute to King.

And again I should like to ex- press appreciation for. the gratitude which I and my colleagues feel toward you and the people of Brazil for the reception which we have received. ‘It demonstrates the charming cour. tesy and hospitality so highly developed in your people. ‘In conclusion I pray that Divine Providence may continue to guide the leaders of our countries in those courses which uphold and maintain our mutual faith. And I wish to express my admi- ration for the leadership you have given a great nation.” Mr. Hoover, in responding to the welcome given him by the President of the Brazilian Senate, said that modern invention has lifted the burdens of man so that the individual may rise by his own accomplishment as never be- fore. The text of his response follows: “I cherish as an honor this opportunity to meet the men selected by. various communities to enact into law the will of the people of Brazil. We are en- gaged in the common task of working out effective government by the people. “This great experiment in public wel- fare rests upon our confidence that the majority of conclusions by an in- structed people will in the long run be right and wise. Rule of Majority Wise. “We know that mistakes will be made and that failures may discourage those who .look for the millenium overnight. “But in a survey of a century of ex- perience in the Western Hemisphere we see that we have made more prog- ress in human welfare than there has been in any such period of history. “We can emphasize further that the methods of justice and ordered Mberty have been built upon foundations more firm and more promising for the future than ever before. “The road of opportunity for the individual man to rise by his own ac- complishment was never clearer than today. The world has entered upon a great period of economic expansion. The energies of the world were stirred by the war but, of far greater im- portance, we today are receiving the powerful impulses from years of ad- vancement in education and technical training; from great scientific dis- coveries and their application through the invention of myriad appliances; from enlarged skill in workmen and in leaders of organization. ‘Mr. President, adequately Governmental Problems Increase. “Transportation and communication have been quickened by improvements in steam, by automobile, aeroplane and radio. The splendid advance in ap- plication of electrical power has lifted the burdens from the backs of men and relieved the drudgery of women. “From it all productivity of men is increasing a thousand fold and with growing productivity the standards -f living are rising and surplus capital of the world for new ventures and for building up the open spaces is accum- ulating. | “But with these advances the prob- lems of government greatly increase. It is indeed the function of each’ leg- islature to accept and encourage these discoveries and to incorporate them within the economy and culture of each country. “New forms of greed and tyranny grow also from these new discoveries which must be kept in wise restraint. “Therefore with the increasing com- plexity of our civili ation the burdens upon our legislative bodies increase. It is fortunate that we have many in- dependent governments, for each of them becomes an experimental labo- ratory in dealing with these forces. By the interchange of these experiences we all profit. “I wish to thank you for your ex- pressions of welcome anc your expres- sions of friendship for my country. Our countries throughout their history have an unbroken record not only of peace but of mutual goodwill and help- fulness which has become a precious tradition between us. I wish again to repeat my gratitude for the honor which you have paid my country.” Response to Chief Justice, A second welcome was given Mr. Hoover by the chief justice of the su- preme court, to which he responded: “I am honored in meeting che men intrusted by Brazil with the most ex- alted function in the gift.of organized society.

C., Dec. 22 (A.P.).—There might not be any Santa Claus as far as Patrolman Jack Taylor is concerned, but he is busy explaining to a city full of children today that the report of Santa’s death was grossly exaggerated. It all happened when Taylor inno- cently remarked to a friend that as far as he was concerned Santa might just as well have met untimely demise in an automobile accident. Two little girls standing nearby heard the news with open-mouthed consternation and the report spread rapidly. Soon Taylor found himself surrounded by childfen, who demanded the facts on Santa's health. “Oh, no,” he explained for the 200th time. “There isn’t anything wrong with Santa. There has been a grave mistake. It wasn’t Santa Claus at all— it was somebody else.” Joseph H. Shea Dies; , Once Envoy to Chile Indianapolis, Dec, 22 (A.P.).—Joseph H.

Probably the greatest vicarious thrill Which a good showman can offer his public is a parachute jump. To most of us who scurry around in cities all day long, like so many fright- ened rabbits, intent on following. the kind of routine that will yleld the largest pay envelope with the minimum amount of emotional wear and tear, there is something hypnotic about a grotesque bundle that will get into an airplane,.go up thousands of feet, walk calmiy out onto a wing and deliberately jump earthward when nothing but steady nerves, a thin bit of silk and an inordinate amount of good luck will enable it to reach the ground in safety. Professional Fliers Oppose It. It is a performance that awes the most voluble adventurer in the crowd watching below. speaking, almost without breathing, at the parachute jumper all during the course of his slow descent. Why? Not because they hope he'll fail; nothing could induce the average person to go near an exhibition if the end was cer- tain to be disastrous. ing a human being deliberately death for the sake of a thrill, or a | People stare without | However, watch- | risk | % stake of money, or the admiration of | . ‘ee the crowd, and then come out somehow restores our wavering in Santa Claus, Cinderella, or the un- expected legacy that everybody hopes for alive That's the way the conservative lay- man, huddled on the ground, reacts to exhibition parachute jumping. Profes- sional aviators have quite another viewpoint. They discourage all forms of jumping and stunting, because fail- ure in a performance reacts badly on their profession. A_ pilot, they say, must be trained in acrobatics and cer- tainly he must be prepared to jump from his plane in an emergency, but not simply to make a Roman holiday ‘for the crowd. As a vocation para- chute jumping seems to be doomed. Perhaps it never was extremely prof- | itable, but it was one of those: free- lance occupations that yielded a maxi- mum of satisfaction, according to both old-timers and the present generation of professionals. Its forerunner was the balloon ascension at the county fair, with a beautiful lady in spangled tights walking majestically out to the basket | Staked to the ground | it swayed darkly above the crowd, and | of the balloon. privileged, indeed, were the small boys who were allowed to soil their best clothes holding its greasy ropes just before the ascent. Great excitement prevailed as it arose, floated away, and the graceful figure descended with her outspread parachute, meadow nearest the fair grounds. Now Wears Sports Attire.

Usually the blanket fee advanced ranges from $500 to $2,000, and for reasons not difficult to understand the money is collected and put in the bank before the stunt takes place. But if the occasion is merely a nor-| mal Saturday or Sunday afternoon at! the neighborhood flying field, and the | parachute jumper and pilot collect the | money in person, the harvest is apt to! range from $50 to $100, depending upon | the willingness of the crowd to part with quarters, halves and dollar bills. | If the crowd is not inclined to be lib- | eral, the parachute jumper retaliates by merely wing walking or cial encouragement. Thrill Is the Real Secret. That thrill is the veal secret of the | parachute jumper’s love of his work. In| this rather limited profession they still talk about one old-timer who used to enhance the thrill of wing walking and | ch nging planes in midair by a place. The result was that when he hung from the own plane, ready to grab for the top of the one passing beneath, his over- wrought nerves found relief in tears. If he missed his grasp at the plane, the sorrow of it all was almost more than he could bear, For ten years he went through every performance with tears running down his cheeks and wracked by sobs. Finally he met death in: an airplane accident that was in no way his fault. The change from the status of an amateur to professional parachute jumper is abrupt or not at all. Pilots tell fantastic stories of inexperienced performers who leap from planes and in their excitement fail to pull the cord until within a few hundred feet of the ground. Some of them use the kind of chute which opens while they are still on the wings and drags them off. Others simply step off into space and pull the cord when clear of the plane. Queer accidents happen too, even to the most expert. Not long ago one man alighted quite properly on a railroad track, only to stumble back- ward over one of the rails, falling and crushing his head cn the opposite rail ——an injury from which he died almost immediately. There are few field accidents now, for field managers are extremely careful of ambitious but imexpert performers, Eager for money, thrill or notoriety, they apply by the hundreds for a chance to take part in these exhibi- tions. One man, an experienced steeple jack, did succeed in climbing up a pole mounted on a plane and sitting there rather precariously through the course of a half hour flight. Stimulated by this feat, anotber man made applica- tion for a pilot and plane to take him aloft so that, dressed in a straight jacket, he could try to change planes in midair. He was refused. Effect on Humans Is a Factor. Hanging from ladders attached to airplanes, swinging from the wings by the toes and changing planes in the air are all looked upon as foolish and unnecessary hazards by the_ expert pilots. Their chief interest in the parachute is as a means of getting themselves out of a plane that is in trouble or perhaps, in tim¢, landing a digabled plane by means of a big para- ‘chute. This theory was tested ot long ago at Alameda, Calif.. when a para- chute 92 feetin diameter floated earth- ward bearing a weight of 3,000 pounds. They also talk of the possibility of landing machine-gun detachments by air during war, as experiments at Brooks Field, Tex., recently showed t be practicable. . effect upon human beings landed these’ conditions is, of course, an ig . extremely important factor to) be con- faith | Christmas holidays, ' viously the winner had is to do a jump! sh usually wears a smart sports skirt, | | Frederic W.

Best Essay of Entire Although it was printed when he won the first week’s high school i1- ision prize, the winning essay of Ray Miller on “The Sinking of the Ves- tris” is reprinted today. It is as fol- lows: “The event Contest. that I consider the News’ of the week occurred last day morning, when the British Vestris sank in the north Atlantic. The disaster is not !mportant merely be- cause @ great ship foundered in a spec- tacular way. The prosaic puttering of an old man in & musty laboratofy may have vastly more far-reaching effects Nor is it of first magnitude solely be- cause more than 100 human beings were drowned. The departure of a President-elect on a neighborly visit nations, the cooling of a ‘Big liner has a direct and personal influence on the happiness of a greater part of the world. It is not that such an appall- ing number of women and children perished, In the bickerings of a group of statesmen assembled to give the decided or prevented much more terrible sufferings and deaths of immeasurably more of this planet’s women and children, “These auxiliary points do have thelr place, but they do not give the event its distinction. It is reserved for the principal factor to do that, ‘the fac- tor we are beginning to see. Man has been getting too sure of himself, too reckless in prevention of danger, too disregardful of his frailty. Forgotten was the lesson of the si1.‘cing Titanic. The Vestris has _ . rearoused him. A world’s eyes are opened, and surely there will be a much-needed and long-deferred resumption of progress toward the goal of ultimate safety.” Writes on Bolivia-Paraguay. For the fifth week Frederic W. Keough’s essay on “The Significance of the Bolivia-Paraguay Dispute” won the prize in the high school division. It is as follows: “At this Christmas season, after 1928 years, it is interesting to note in the news of the preceding week to just what extent the nations of the world have practically applied the principles of Christianity in thgir international affairs. “Today we see two apparently civil- ized and progressive South American nations on the verge of war, if war does not already exist. This is only ten years after the World War, which was Christianity’s most recent setback. At the same time Herbert Hoover, President-elect of the United States, is sidered. Before men were subjected to this test, the Army officials felt it was only fair to forecast, if possible, the effect in terms of nervous reaction, blood pressure, heart action and rate of metabolism. The flight surgeons feit that preliminary data of this sort should at least be offered the volun- teers, so finally it was decided to try out the experiment on sheep. Accord- ingly some prize sheep were carefully selected, taken to an Afmy field near New York, and given a thorough phy- sical examination. Parachutes were strapped to their backs, and they were put aboard a plane. At the proper height they were pushed overboard in a forced descent. Below stood the sur- geons with their instruments ready to revive the sheep, if necessary, and nearby were stationed soldiers to grab the sheep before they tore the expen- sive parachute as they ran about in their terror. Instead the sheep came to earth ‘some little distance from the cal- culated spot, and calmly *began to graze. In fact, they had eaten most of the grass in their immediate neigbor- hood before the excited surgeons and the soldiers got to them. To sheep. if not to the rest of us, parachute jumping.seems to be the mildest of sports.

The Pan- American conference for the peaceful settlement of international disputes 1s in session. And the two quarreling nations are members of the League of Nations, supposed automatically to settle such a difficulty as theirs, “There is-no more important event at this time than the present South American situation. Its significance ts not determined by the extent of the actual trouble between Bolivia and Paraguay. Which of the two acquires possession of the disputed territory Is not the vital issue. The significance of this affair in its world relation Is the fact that it is a test for Christian- ity and whether its principles are to endure against a reversion to barbar- ism depends on the manner in which the Christian nations of the ‘world unite in the peaceful settlement of this dispute and then proceed to fol- low the precedent for similar difficulty in the future.” Another topic was chosen by Doris Griffin, whose essay took the prize in the grade-junior high school division, Her essay is as follows: “‘*Lioyd George Warns of Drift to Hos- tility by Great Nations’ is, I think, the big news of the week. Is it not im- portant whether we have another war, perhaps as destructive as the World War? Over 10,000,000 men were killed and nearly 30,000,000 wounded. Fam- ilies lost their homes, destruction was everywhere and Europe changed from a creditor to a debtor continent. “What are the probabilities of an- other war? Lloyd George thinks that they are slight at present, but will in- crease as the nations of Europe begin to recuperate. He said, ‘We are headed for war, not because any one wants it, but because nobody has the courage to stop the runaway horse of the war chariot.’ ‘ “At present England and Russia are busy with internal affairs. France, having regained the rich Alsace-Lor- raine territory, has no reasons to fight, and Germany, though she may wish to fight, can not because of her limited finances and men-at-arms. However, there is danger ahead unless sincere friendship can be establjshed between Germany and France before Germany is allowed to rearm, 7 “The most immediate danger lies in the dictatorships of Italy and Poland, as dictatorships tend to end in war. Also the Balkan situation is critical. Bulgaria and Hungary are dissatisfied, especially Hungary, which has been mutilated unjustly. But the gravest Balkan danger lies In their constant intrigues “Lloyd George’s warning is impor- tant. There is no time to lose if an effectual end to war is to be attained.” Prize winners in the “Big News” contest may obtain their ‘prizes by calling at the city desk of the Wash- ington Post Monday afternoon, MOVEMENTS OF STEAMSHIPS New York.

Such is the story which Mrs. WiIlis- son, who is 34, told Detective Sheehan tonight when she walkéd into the West Thirtieth street police station to charge herself with murder. Herbert Willisson, the whom she chose to cast her lot, died today in Bellevue Hospital of stab wounds. He was admitted to the hos- pital early last Thursday. Accompanied by his common-law ‘wife, they told a story of a gang fight at Eleventh avenue and Thirty-sixth street in which he received his wounds, and from which she assisted him to the hospital. The story seemed to ring true, Its truth, however, was night by Mrs. Willisson. facts, she says, were these: Suspecting that their romance, sordid as it may have been, was approaching its end when she was convinced her husband was consorting with other women, she trailed him shortly after man with denied to- The actual with a woman, she Somehow, she got him back to home.

With less than 2,500 inhabitants, the town has more than 40 buildings and private residences built in Colo- nial times. These will be restored as nearly as possible to their original con- dition. Other bulldings of importance that existed in early times will be com- pletely rebuilt. There may be over 70 of these. Modern Things to Be Taken Away.

Instead the lead- ing street was named to honor Anne’s son, the Duke of Gloucester, and the two parallel streets were named Fran- cis and Nicholson—the governor's given and surname. The cross streets intersecting the other three are Nassau, King, Palace and Queen, marking boundaries in the form of a parallelo- gram which includes the whole of the area Of restoracin. The Duke of Gloucester street, which is the heart of Williamsburg, is 100 feet wide and nearly a mile long. It stretches from the Christopher Wren College Hall to the place where stood the House of Burgesses. Near the site of the old capitol still stand the old prison and the office of the clerk of the House of Burgesses. On the right of the Christopher Wren Hall is the President’s House, where the presidents of the college have lived since 1752. On the left is Brafferton Hall, the free Indian school, bullt in 1723. On the east edge of the street is where the Raleigh Tavern stood. Among the beautiful colonial residences left on the Duke of Gloucester street are the Vest House and Paradise House, each with an interesting history. In the restoration plans nearly 100 bulld- ings have been condemned for re- moval—nearly the whole business sec- tion of the town which centers on that main thoroughfare. The three large public Greens will also be cleared of all the buildings added since the Revolution. The re- stored Court Green will contain only the Powder Horn and the little Colonial Court House. Most of The Palace Green, running north from the Duke of Gloucester street, ends at the grounds of the Governor's Palace. All that are left of the bulld- ings that were grouped around the Governor's Palace site are the gover- nor's office and two small brick bulld- ings.

DENOUNCED BY PASTOR Baltimore, Dec. 22, —- Baltimore County police were searching today for the occupants of a sedan automobile that raced through Laverne avenue early yesterday and sprayed the Lans- downe Methodist Episcopal Church and parsonage with gunfire. Three of the bulle* broke three tall frosted windows ‘in the church and the fourth bullet shattered a window in the parsonage and lodged in an inner door.

Ossining, N. Y., Dec. 22 (A.P.).—Dem- onstration of a “gastro-camera” which takes pictures of the stomach from the inside was made before 100 physicians and surgeons at Sing Sing Prison to- night with a convict as#the ‘-boratory One of the doctors who arranged the demonstration said that the invention was expected to be of great aid in the study and treatment of cancer and stomach disorders. The camera is the invention of Franz Gerard of Vienna, Austria. Dr. Law- rence Cremin, a specialist, of Ossining, was in charge of the demonstration. Alexander Vollero, a 40-year-old pris- oner from Brooklyn, serving a sentence of 20 years to life swallowed the camera He was selected because he recently had been operated o1 for a gastric ulcer and the doctors wished wounds had healed, The apparatus used consists of a rub- ber tube about 25 inches long and about five-eighths of an inch in diam- eter. About 2 inches from the end of the hollow tube, which is shoved down the throat, is a small cylinder-shaped camera, 2 inches long and about half an inch in diameter, equipped with tiny lens and tiny films Just above the camera a short section of the tube is perforated, and through it at this point inclosed in quartz glass runs a fine wire. This wire, when the camera is operated, lights up like the wire in an ordinary electric lamp, only more bril- liantly. Just above the perforated part of the rubber tube ts another camera of the to see how the EE Post Thrift Plan Will Open Your Saving Club The Washington Post is offering to open and maintain a Christmas savings account for each subscriber to The Post.

With the one “shot” sixteen different sections of the stomach on the SUNDAY. DECEMBER os. 1928, Finger Prints Bare Records Of Postoffice Applicants Numerous men with bad records who sought jobs at the Washington post- office during the Christmas rush period were discovered through finger print sectional films. ‘The films are enlarged manyfold for inspection. The cameras are so constructed, it was said, that if they ever got loose which was considered unlikely, they would pass through the body without difficulty. The operation, the doctors said, is only a little more difficult than swal- lowing a stomach pump, and it was believed would have no ill effect on the patient. “This invention ts expected to be of great aid ‘to medical science,” one of the doctors aiding in the demonstra- tion said. “It will, by photography disclose a cancer in its very earliest stages. A hundred thousand persons die yearly from cancer which, in many cases, if found in their earliest stages could be cut out or cured. It will show corrosion, growths and other unnatural records, Civil Service Commission of- ficials revealed yesterday. Among typical cases cited by com- mission officials was one of an appli- cant who was an inmate of the re- formatory at Cheshire, Conn., in 1925 for burglary and larceny; a second ar- rested in 1917 for false pretenses, and a third arrested at Pasadena, Calif., in 1920, for passing bad checks; at Oak- land, Calif., the same year for em- bezzlement, and at Dallas, Tex., in 1925, for theft. Each time he gave a different name. Many others with police records were found among applicants through finger printss The full value of the system is not shown by the number apprehended, commission officials explained, but by the fact that most men with criminal records fail to apply when they learn they are to be finger printed.

He recalled his mention of a Lans- downe bootieg place in his sermon last Sunday night, but said that as a rule he pleads only for law enforcement of all kinds. Mr. Jones’ home its at 144 Laverne avenue and the church is some little distance away, at the corner of Laverne and Baltimore avenues. It was some time after midnight when the sedan sped through Laverne avenue with gun barrels bristling from its side. The clergyman, his wife and nine children, most. of whom are small, were sieeping and the house was dark. The entire neighborhood was qulet, except for the low drumming of the automo- bile motor. Believed It Was Backfire, The car was traveling south. Ags it arrived abreast of the parsonage the ei arly morning stillness was cracked by ne sharp report of a shot, followed by the crash of giass as the window in the parsonage was split. Most of the Laverne avenue residents who heard the report concluded it was ' the backfiring of an automobile and, ; as the night was cold, they did not ' even bother to investigate, they said. But one did, William Pyle was still up and sald | he recognized the crack as the report of a pistol. He ran out of doors, he continued, in time to see the car turn- ing around. It raced north and three more shots were fired as it passed the church. The car was moving swiftly and the three shots aiftmed at the church came closely after the one sent at the par- sonage, those who heard them said. Mr. Pyle said the sedan’s single tall light was out, and he could not see its license plate. ° $1,000,000 IS GIVEN TQ YOUNG VANDERBILT a CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1. are photographed conditions.” | civil service service will be finger printed.

Worthless stocks said to aggregate $608,000 had been peddied to his friends on the strength of forged guarantees of the erstwhile editor, he learned. “I think we know the name of the man who has been forging my name to the stock guarantees,” Vanderbilt de- clared. “He is a so-called New York society man and our investigators re- port he has just fled to Canada. “I have been told this man was able to induce a friend of mine to part with $52,000 for worthless securities after he had been shown a forged letter in which 1 was purported to guarantee them.” Young Vanderbilt declared he would pass Christmas on his ranch, 40 miles from Reno, Nev., where he has estab- lished a home for his bride, the former Mrs. Mary Weir Logan, of Chicago. Their marriage took place a few hours aiter the divorce decree which parted Cornelius and his first wife, the former tachel Littletown, became final. Checks to be Mailed: Going into the details of his big Christmas gift, young Cornelius ex- plained that the $1,000,000 in cash from his father and mother would be- come available to him on Christmas Eve at the Citizens Trust & Savings Co., in Los Angeles. From there checks will be sent out to those who lost money in the launching of the now defunct Vanderbilt papers in San Fran- cisco, Los Angeles and Miami. It was only a year ago that young Vanderbilt, writing for a paper then employing him, told of Christmas in the Vander- bilt mansion, and declared: “The memory of many a dreary Christmas spent within the walls of our huge Fifth avenue mansion haunts me to this day. I was so starved for a word of genuine affection that I often bit my lips to keep the tears from my eyes. The atmosphere in the family circle on Christmas was so formal I was never able to express my thoughts. The affectionate phrases I had on my lips were never uttered, and cold dignity took the place of the loving embrace I had expected. “The first jar on Christmas Day was the valet’s salutation in a frigid voice, ‘Time to get up, Master Neil.’ and as an after thought—‘it is Christmas morning, sir,’ also in a frigid tone. “Every Christmas we were not al- lowed to speak unless spoken to and were supposed to rest for the strenuous * evening ahead.” a Cairfarx identia Fetet of Distiretio MAssacnusetts AVE. _ NOW AVAILABLE 2 AND 3 ROOM SUITES Service entries—large closets—tile bath with shower—two exposures. $80 to $150 Monthly Furnished, with Full Hotel Service.

Convicts in Federal prisons who hoped Santa Claus would bring them pardons are going to be disappointed this year, for the Department of Jus- tice yesterday announced that the prac- Justice Department May Act. tice of recommending Christmas par- dons had been abolished. It has been the practice of the de- partment to p rmit wardens of Federal penal institutions to recommend a few convicts for pardons at Christmas, but the practice, it was said, was abused. The department said the only appli- cation for parole before Attorney Gen+ era Sargent which might be acted on before the holidays is the recommen- dation of the parole board that Thomas W. Miller, former alien property cus- todian, be granted his freedom. It was believed, however, that, the routine work in connection with Miller’s parole could not be completed in time to be approved by the Attorney General be- fore next week.

Sale of other materials, including wearing apparel has been so substan- tial that more stock constantly is needed from friends, who wish through the donation of cast-off things to help the agencies.

HOME AND KIN FIL TD DISPEL ANSI Georgia Man Does Not Recall Familiar Surroundings .on Visit for Christmas. WAS LOCATED IN TEXAS Macon, Ga. Dec. 22 (A.P.).—Tom Scott Goolsby, 22 years old, awoke this morning in a bed in the room in which he had slept for years, at his home where he resided during his youth, and surrounded by his parents and rela- tives, but he did not remember the fa- miliar surroundings nor the faces of his nearest kin because he still is suf- fering from amnesia, which has afflict- ed him nearly two years. Goolsby dropped from view July 23. 1927, and his parents, Dr. and Mrs. R C. Goolsby, of Forsyth, Ga., near Ma- con,; spent a large sum in a Nation- wide search, which ended recently when their son was found and identi- fled in Tyler, Tex., where he held a re- sponsible position with a large firm and went by the name of J. C. Morri- son. When greeted by his parents and con- fronted by undisputable evidence of his identity, young Goolsby said he did not femember the faces of his father ani motrer and could recall*no events of his life prior to a sudden awakening shortly after the date of his disappear- ancé. on the water front at New Or- leans. Goolsby said he was suffering front a wound of the head when he be- came conscious. A stranger befriended him in New Orleans, Goolsby declared, and suggest- ed that he adopt the name of J. C. Mor- rison. The original Morrison, the stranger had informed him, was the son of a*physician of Miami, Fla., and had been lost at sea. Goolsby went to Texas later and re- sided in Tyler until his parents ap- peared Dr. and Mrs. Goolsby accom- panied their son to their home to spend the Christmas holidays, believing this would cause a restoration of memory, but ‘the familiar surroundings had no effect on him. Name in Death Notice ‘Nets Georgia Fugitive Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 22 (A.P.).—To a funeral notice listing his name as a survivor John F. Walsh can attribute a losing encounter with the law. Walsh i had operated an ‘employment agency’ here.in 1922, requiring applicants for positions to deposit from $100 to $200. He left after a short time and was in- dicted for taking the money with him. Recently Mrs. Mary Pinson, who alleged she had been victimized of $200, read’ in a local paper the announce- ment of a death in which the name of John F. Walsh was listed as a survivor. She communicated with the authori- ties who found him in Warwick, R. I. Walsh pleaded guilty in court here to- day, was fined $250 and sentenced to serve 12 months. The latter sentence was suspended when he agreed to make | restitution. Sunday School Tree, Decorated, Is Stolen Atlanta, Dec. 22 (A.P.).Another can- didate for the meanest thief has quali- fled here. He is the man who made off with a Christmas tree which the Sun- day school of Central Presbyterian Church had decorated lavishly and placed in readiness to shed gifts on its child members. Thursday night was to have been the festal occasion. Committee members left the tree in the church for less than an hour to bring in the gifts. When they returned only a trail of tinse! was left to show where the ‘hief had dragged the tree away. Trawler, With 25 Men, Believed Lost in Gale Halifax, Dec. 22 (A.P.).—A dispatch to the Halifax Chronicle from St. Pierre today said that owners of the French trawler Pacificque feared the _ vessel with its crew of 25 went down in a storm off Cape St. Mary. One of the ship’s lifeboats contain- ing a body was found yesterday at Ship Govce, Placentia Bay. ARTHUR B. WHITE, Widely known Washington actor who will enact the role of Marral in “A New Way ‘to Pay Old Debts,” which will be staged tomorrow night at the Chevy Chase School. $1,000,000 Gift Offer To College Withdrawn Minneapolis, Dec. 22 (A.P.).—Because at no time in the last four years has the University of Minnesota indicated whether it would accept a_ proposed $1,000,000 gift from the Rockefeller Foundation, that organization has withdrawn the offer. The gift was of- fered the State university in 1924 to es- tablish a medical center here, combining the work of both the University Hos- pital and the Minneapolis General Hos- pital. Decision of the Rockefeller Founda- tion was contained in a letter today from President Lotus B. Coffman, of the university, to the local Board of Pub- lic Welfare. The letter quoted Dr. George E. Vincent, president of the foundation, and former president of the University of Minnesota, pointing out that failure to accept the offer had resulted in its withdrawal.

MUTCHLER. | The text of a letter written by World Champion Alekhine to former cham- ion J. R. Capablanca appeared in full um the December 16 issue of the Herald- Tribune and throws further light on the present status of a championship Match. The letter reads: “Having accepted, in principle, the Challenge of E..D. Bogoljubow, under date of August 29 last. for a match to take place in 1929, I regret that I can mot now consider the proposition of another match for the championship. ~ shall from now on keep your letter in mind and at the same time write to Mr. Bogoljubow giving him until January 15, 1929, so that he may ar- Tange for and give me the guaranties a" for under the rules of London, 2. “In case these guarantics should not be forthcoming, I would hold myself ready, after the above mentioned date (January 15, 1929), to accept your challenge on the exact basis of the ‘egulations of London, 1922. In order > avoid a misunderstanding of any Kind, I may add that a match between us should not take place before the pecond half of 1929. In case my match with Mr. Bogoljubow should take place and I should be fortunate enough to retain my title (to the championship), I would then be ready to accept your challenge, after the end of that en- counter.” At last reports the AlekhinegBogol- jJubow negotiations were regarded as doubtful. Bogoljubow, it appears, has een depending largely upon the ex- ected financial backing of those in charge of the recent Bad Kissingen Durnament. The managers of this tournament have now definitely de- cided to make no apprprolations for matches or tournaments for the coming ear. Bogoljubow must needs there- lore seek further, and quickly. Some- vhere, he must raise a purse of $10,000, In the meantime, Capablanca pro- seeds calmly and is about to accept an invitation to participate in an in- ternational masters tournament at Ramsgate, England, during Easter. One of Capablanca’s games from the recent Bad Kissingen tournament is appended. tubenstein, his opponent, was once re- Garded as a logical contender for titu- Jar honors but in recent years has lost prestige. It is curious to note, how- ever, that the Pole is one of the very few of master players from whom, if memory serves us rightly, the former champion has never won a game. ROUND 3—QUEEN’S GAMBIT. Capablanca. as a Cie Oboe J SNES BOO DAD UMOM—OOD-1— 3 A ” F3) Ww Aa OO OO Draw n Notes, Norman T. Whitaker informs us thet Ome grave misstatements have ap- peared in the English magazine, the hess Amateur, concerning the late Washington versus Londop-_ cable match. The trend of these statements are given in a letter which Mr. Whita- “Many do not know, who shoud have been told in the official organ of the federation, why I was prevented from playing at Bradley Beach. Dozens of in- ‘quiries have come to me about my non- participation there. The attitude. of some who follow the game may perhaps be expressed by unsolicited letter sent me from a chess editor. * * *” The letter then follows in full. Un- less the said chess editor is courageous enough to publish his views in his own column, however, we feel that they are not entitled to space here. Sufficient it is to say that he apparently regards th- past tournament at Bradley Beach as an utter faijure, due partially, at least,. to Whitaker's nonparticipation, and attacks in almost vindictive man- ner one of America’s foremost chess editors, who, he thinks, is in part re- sponsible for present conditions. “lutions to Problem. The key to No. 293, two-mover by Mr. Mclivaine, is K-B2. A.nong those sending in solutions were Jacob Frech, Clair J. Bressler, J. W. Harris, H. W. Wiley, jr.. Forrest V. Wheeler, J. W. Harris, P. L. Reed, F. B. Walker, and Paul Davis. Jacob Frech writes: “Although white has choice of 42 moves, the fact that black, if not prevented by a check or K move, can by P-R7 disastrously check, simplifies the process of finding the following middle term for 293: A problem in which white can soonest mate by one of the following four series, relevant to black’s move: 1 K-B2; 2 Q-KR or -QKt or Kt-B3 (or the latter’s near equivalent Q-B); for none of white’s first possible checks can result in mate in two, and the K's best move is to B2 where he can com- mand B3 and K3$ for certain contin- gencies. Black P at R6 prevents Q-K2 being also a key move.” Clair J. Bressler comments: “The fact that black threatens a check by play- ing his RP, also all flight squares on the bishop's file are doubly guarded by white except B38, suggest the keymove at once” H,. W. Wiley, jr., remarks: “Another soft one. In the first place the key is bad, inasmuch as it threatens two mates, Q@xP and Kt-B3, and, after a short inspection, is the obvious ‘move to avoid the threatened check. Then there seem to be several unnecessary black pieces particularly Kt at R2, Ps at Kt2 and Kt4, and B at QKt2.” Forrest V. Wheeler reasons: “The salient feature of this problem is that white king is threatened by black pawn. Therefore, if’ white king is | moved out of danger, and to the sup- ; port of white bishop, white queen can | effect the checkmate in another move.” Today’s offering is a three-move com- | position by Harvey W.

COMMITTEE OF HOUSE SUSPICIOUS AND ALOOF Calling of Rally on Lincoln’s _ Birthday Seen.as Phase of Fight for Power. By CARLISLE BARGERON. With ‘announcement yesterday that the Republican senatorial campaign committee had accepted the hospitality of the national committee and taken up abode under its roof, National Chairman Work moved on to another hoped-for accomplishment, that of having, his committee act as the na-/| tional patronage dispenser. If he ac- complishes it, he will, indeed, be glad. Offices have been set aside in the Barr Building, the national committee headquarters, it was made known, fof Senator Metcalf and his senatorial committee and this means that there will be coordination between the two in the campaign of 1930. -The Republican congressional com- mittee, weighted down with tradition and a feeling of importance, has not accepted Dr. Work’s invitation to make its home under the national commit- tee roof, It is Dr. Work’s idea, how- ever, to have the three committees all on the fourth floor of the Barr Build- ing so that there will be such Co- ordination of the three Republican campaign elements as the Republicans have never known. While waiting for Chairman Wood, of the House committee, to act, he is moving on toward a higher goal. Eriefly, it is the setting up of the national committee as the political arbiter of all things Republican. It would take out of President-elect Hoover’s hands all matters dealing with patronage. The national com- mitteemen would become the patron- age dispensers of their respective States and the final arbiter would be Dr. Work, the chairman. Mr. Hoover would not be bothered with such mat- ters as have occupied the time of Presidents in the past. He would, in fact, have to do nothing more than be President. Dr. Work’s plan is to relieve him of all related duties. Expects to Relieve Hoover. It is Dr. Work’s understanding that Mr. Hoover has great things fn store for the country, that he is going to set out to put the American home on a high perch of happiness. This was, in fact, a promise of the Republican cam- paign.. But Dr. Work has been here in W shington, as a part of the adminis- tration, for several years,‘and from his experience knows that a President js encumbered by 50, many extraneous »-Matters that he has comparatively lit- tle time to devote to effectuating his high ideals. Dr. Work wants to remove this governmental defect. If his plan should succeed, the Presi- dent could devote his entire time to the business of being President. The ques- tion of patronage would be of no con- cern to him. While the countless ap- piontments that go annually to the Senate, would, of course, have the President’s signature, they would really be the outcrop or the conclusions, so to speak, of the national committee. The great obstacle in his way to ac- complishment is, of course, the Senate. There are many senators who have their own political organizations built up and maintained on patronage. The Senate’s power lies in its patronage. Scattered about the country there are national committeemen who have worked their way to positions of in- fluence and affiuence, but they are few and far between, and those that there ate of them have progressed better by cooperating with the senior senators from their States. Dr. Work Seeks Power. There are some national committee- men who determine who is to be sen- ator, but more often it is a case of the senator determining who is to be the national committeeman. This order Dr Work would reverse. Obviously, it would have far-reaching results. It would break the power of the Senate in mat- ters political, at least. In the breaking up of the senatorial oligarchy it might be said that Dr Work or somebody connected with the Hoover campaign made progress even before the Kansas City convention. This was done by playing the House against the Senate. Should Dr. Work be successful in completing the job, in transferring the Senate patronage power to the national committee, Mr. ‘Ioover’s administra- tion will, indeed, be unique. It would mean, in the first place, that Mr. Hoo- ver would not have to be dickering with the Senate, trading with it, bargaining with it. He would not have to be ap- prehensive of breaking with it. He would feel free to advance his plans of administration and to press them, whether the Senate liked them or not. Senate Resistance Likely. Mr. Hoover could go about his ad- ministration with no doubt as to his being renominated in 1932, because the Senate would be powerless to stop him. Obviously, under the new arrangement he would have the national committee with him, and the national committee could handle the convention delegates. - Things are moving slowly but surely, however, toward a clash between the Senate and the national committee, a ‘battle for power. Only recently Dr. Work sent out letters to all national committeemen and committeewomen and State chairmen and State chair- women telling them there should be a rally of Republicans on Lincoln’s birth- day. This seems innocuous enough, but Dr. Work will have the people under ey meeting and rallying from time to me. f As predicted, Senator Metcalf and his senatorial campaign committee ¢ame willingly enough within the ex- tended arms of the national committee. Bluntly speaking, the Rhode Island é tor needs “coordination” for the 1980 campaign, that is, for himself, be- cause all is not well in his State. There gome in the Republican organiza- there who would throw him over- a House campaign committee is g back from Dr. Work’s invita- because it is afraid it will be ab- . in the chairman’s’ national of things. RIDDLES IN CRIME “The Dix-Wilson Mystery” By JOSEPH KAYE A boy, 13 years old, sends in a correct solution of last Sunday’s “Riddle in .Crime—The Hotel Room Robbery.” Mystery fiction fans are having a great time with The Washington Post’s series of crime tales and.some solutions showing real ability as detectives have been received. One other correct solution has been received from a reader while a third guessed wrong on how the author would complete last week’s mystery. Readers are urged to send in their solutions to the weekly “Riddle in Crime” and compare their deductions with those of the author. By HAROLD MOORMAN (13 Years Old). In your latest mystery story, “The Hotel Room Robbery,’ Brainy Falk was guilty. The clerk had been told that the rings were the only valuables Miss Mil- ler owned or at least all she had with her. With this information he hardly would have taken the risk of being caught by remaining in the room longer than necessary. On the other hand, Falk Knowing little or nothing about Miss Miller, on seeing the two rings probably believed her to be quite wealthy and went in search of other valuables. —_-——-=- By RALPH FREUND. The clerk committed the robbery. He was on,.the fifth floor for a sufficient length of time after being in the poker party to have committed the robbery. He ransacked the drawers to make it. “The Diz-Wilson Mystery” is the title of the seventh of The’ Washington’s Post series o ( presents several new angles in crime which have not been covered in previott» stories of This series. look like a professional had done it, for if he took only the rings suspicion would be attached to him and he would be convicted, for Miss Miller had told him the rings were her, only jewelery. As for Falk, the clerk should have seen him if he came in while the clerk was downstairs and the elevator boys should have seen him in any case. Therefore, I believe Falk's story true. By GEORGE PALMERTON. The following is my version of the hotel room robbery: Brainy Falk was the thief. If the night clerk had done the job he would not have bothered the dresser draw- ers. For his visit would have been for the rings, which he knew where they were. ed By THE AUTHOR. Falk was guilty of the theft. This was proven by the following fact, which became evident as the in- vestigation of the case proceeded. The drawers in the dresser of Miss Miller's room were rifled. Had the clerk come upon the thieving mission why should he have gone to the dresser when he knew the rings were in the ash tray. on the table near the girl's bed? And especially since she had told him she possessed no other jewels? The clerk would have gone straight to the ta- ble, picked up the rings and left with- out further loss of time. The searched drawers showed, how- ever, that the thief had no knowledge where any vatuables were located and had to hunt through the room before he found the rings. Under the cir- cumstances the police could have no doubt that the criminal, Falk, had done the job.

Meanwhile readers may form, their own conclusions and submit their opinions to The Washington Post for publication The Facts in the Case. Marian Dix, a maid serving Mrs. Nina Wilson, was accused of the murder of her mistress. Mrs. Wilson was a young divorcee, of some wealth. She lived alone in an expensive apartment with Marian and a cook as the only other members of her establishment. Mrs. Wilson was found lying in her bed with three vital shots thru her forehead and temple. The police had been called by the maid over the tele- phone and she herself was shot through the right side, the bullet grazing the lung but doing no more serious damage. The cook was out that night and could throw little light on the affair. The investigation uncovered the fact that Ralph Orr, a wealthy sportsman, had been friendly with both mistress and the maid, both being handsome and the maid possessing intelligence and good breeding. It was assumed that a quarrel had occurred between them about this man and Marian shot Mrs. Wilson in a jealous rage, turning next week with the author’s solution. the weapon then on herself. Marian was held on the charge of first degree murder. The Accused’s Version. Marian said that the reverse of. the police story was true. It was Mrs. Wilson who had tried to murder her and then had committed suicide. “It is true,” she stated, “that we both loved Ralph Orr. I came to know him when .ne began visiting Mrs. Wilson. He’ often telephoned to find out whether Mrs. Wilson was not in, and when that was the case he used to come to see me. At first I tried to avoid him. Then 1 learned to like him and finally he had my love. “Mrs. Wilson found out something about this when she was home unex- pectedly one afternoon ang: listened in on the extension telephone on which lI talked to Mr. Orrr Finally she dis- covered enough to make her positive Mr. Orr had an affair with me and on the right of this—this accident, she called me into her bedroom and began te question me closely. “Of course, I couldn't conceal the facts and I was forced to admit them. Then she seemed. to grow insane with rage and jealousy. She snatched out a revolver from under the pillow on her bed and shot at me. I suppose she in- tended her aim. to be at my heart When I fell down on the floor and the blood flowed from me over the rug she gave an hysterical cry and shot herself in the head, 1 dragged myself to the telephone and called the police.” To this story Marian stuck despite all questioning. Mrs. Wilson's neigh- bors could not help much. There was only one apartment on the floor and the people living in it were out. The elevator runners were downstairs at the time and did not hear the shots. Nor could Ralph Orr add to the facts He could only admit. his connection with the two women, The Problem. Did Marian Dix shoot her mistress and then attempt suicide or did Mrs Wilson attemp, to kill her maid and then do away with herself? POSTS IN CABINET DENIED 11 oTATEs New York Leads All With 45 Out of 337 Places Filled ; by Presidents. 29 ROOSEVELT CHANGES As inauguration day draws near that delightful political pastime of guessing the members of Mr. Hoover’s Cabinet is attracting more and more attention both from politicians, big and small, and from the public and the news- papers. dearth of any word from him on the composition of his official family, Is adding. zest to the game. More and more politicians are getting themselves “mentioned” for this or that Cabinet job. It is a poor possibility that can’t even get himself “mentioned.” At the present writing’ every section of the country is boosting a favorite son just as is the case before a Presi- dential campaign. There are already enough candidates for the ten port- folios at the disposal of Mr. Hoover to fill two or three Cabinets. In view of the interest in the Cabi- net selections of the new President, it would be quite as interesting to go back and look into some little known facts and figures about the President’s Cabinet since its inception in 1789. Five in Washington’s Time. When Washington was inaugurated he had only five Cabinet officers, the Secretaries of State, War and Treasury, the Attorney General and the Post- master General. The Secretary of the Navy was added in John Adams’ ad- ministration. Not until 1849, in the short-lived Presidential term of Zach- ary Taylor, was another Cabinet posi- tion created. In that year the In- terior Department was given Cabinet rank. The “farm problem” of the 1880's was the demand for a Secretary of Agriculture and under Cleveland the demand was heeded, exactly a hundred years since the first Cabinet took of- fice. The Department of Commerce and Labor was advanced to combined Cabinet rank in 1903 and during Wil- son’s first term was split up into two departments with a portfolio for each. From 1789 to 1928 a total of 337 men have held the various Cabinet posts at the disposal of 31 Presidents, an ayer- age of a little more than 10 each. These figures take on added significance when it is recalled that 12 Presidents had put 6 Cabinet jobs to fill and 22 Presi- dents had only 7. President Roosevelt has the doubtful distinction of having had the most Cabinet officers during his terms of office—29—but Roosevelt had 9 places to fill. men to head his executive offices, al- though there were only 7 offices. Jack- son, because of his fight over the United States Bank, had 20 Cabinet officers, filling 6 posts. Tyler with 21, Wilson with 20 and Coolidge with 19 are well up in the list. The compara- tively neglected Franklin Pierce was the only President to serve out his full term with his original Cabinet intact. Presidents William Harrison, Zachary Taylor and James Garfield also ended their period in office with the starting Cabinet, but none of these Presidents liver to get his term. Fifty-three Attorneys General, Of the 337 men who have held Cabi- net dffices 53 have been Attorneys Gen- eral. Fifty-one have been Secretaries of War and 47 have each been, respec- tively, Secretaries of State, Secretaries of the Treasury and Postmasters Gen- eral. A total of 43 men have been at the head of the Navy Department and 30 have bossed the Interior Depart- ment, New York, which has had 1 of its citizens in every Cabinet office but Secretary of Agricultyre and Secretary of Labor, leads all the other States with 45 Cabinet officers. Pennsylvania and Mass@*husetts are tled with 34 each. Next jn order among the 10 highest are Ohio, 24; Virginia, 22; Ken- tucky, 14; Indiana, 11; Tennessee, 11; Illinois, 11; Missouri, 19, and Georgia and Iowa with 9 each.-.

And. it ts true’that he is not seen ‘at the head of ‘the Middle Western Progressives as 'Borah was, but the Progressives are not insurging. Forsoothe. insurgency is at a low ,ebb, but of what there has been of it in the Republican ranks at this session, Moses has been the promoter. Tne Kellogg peace pact is the only project that has been insurged against, and the New Hampshire senator has not only been the leader in this moyement but almost the movement itself. Apparently President Coolidge recog- nized him as the leader, because when he took steps to get the treaty to mov- ing, he did not work upon the senater but, rather, he sought to remove the senator's forces from behind him. He called Senators Shipstead, McLean and Johnson to the White House. At the time, Shipstead and McLean seemed to compose Moses’ forces and Johnson ap- peared as a potential addition to them. For once the President seems to have miscalculated. In whimsical mood he has told correspondents who predicted he will go back to Northampton at the .expiration of his administration that their guess is about as good as any and at any rate he has no oodjections to such stories because they advertise his town. Inasmuch as he expects to live there, the President hae facetiously let it be known that he would very much welcome a boom. But has he given the question any deliberate study? Now were he a property holder in Northampton a boom would be desired, of course. Real estate values would go up, the population would be added to and industry would hum. But he is not a property Holder. He merely rents, paying $32.50 monthly, or is it $37,50, for his home. Now if there is a boom in Northampton, the inevitable result will be an increase in his rental, A lot of people miscalculate on matters of this kind. ; | Accepting the statement that a man ts influenced in later life by his child- hood surroundings, how in the world did Representative Vinson, of Georgia, ever develop to be a big naval author- ity?

The oddest fact about all these figures is in the number of States that have never had one of their citzens honored. by a place in the Canintt. There are eleven such, but only Rhode Island was one of the Thirteen Colonies. Some one might make a novel historical contribu- tion in satisfactorily explaining why that State has been slighted al) these years. Florida is the only other State admitted to the Union before the Civil War that has never been honored by the appointment of one of its natives to the Cabinet. Hidebound States Passed By. A posible explanation of this poltical phenomenon is the hidebound Democ- racy of the State. When the Democrats were ‘n office other more pivotal States had tu jet the plums, and when the Republicans were in the saddle a Flori- dan was hardly considered. The nine other States that are still looking for- ward to their first taste of Cabinet dis- tinction are Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Arizona and Oklahoma. The latter group of States haven't yet produced many men of Cabinet caliber, although Senator Borah, of Idaho, is prominently talked of as the next Sec- retary of State. In Montana, Senator Walsh's political star has unfortunately been on tite rise during Republican ad- ministrations. Whether or’not the list of Cabinet-less States will be reduced after Mr. Hoover announces his Cabinet cators to speculate upon. f i ‘ 7 of | is something for the political. pregnosti-+ | $A. of Illinois, is easily understood in such a role. Presumably, as a boy, Britten stood 'on the shores of Lake Michigan and watched the lake-going vessels and the men of war, and as he grev to man- hood became jJmpressed with Chicago's accessibility to an enemy fleet. But in the case of Vinson, if there !s any stream around or néar the town of his birth and upbringing, it is hardly deep enough to float a rowboat. His | town, Milledgeville, Ga., boasts one or two military schools, and Vinson at- tended one. But why did he grow up to. throw his legislative influence be- hind the Navy? It may be that he got his military training at school; a boyhood fancy de- veloped his strategy out in a rowboat It would not be strange at all had he envisioned the rowboat a battleship. the rails manned and everything. You can tell he has had no such broad playground as Lake Michigan, because he contents himself with do- mestic affairs, while Britten’s view has broadened to include international arms | settlements. » It is only within the last three months that Vice President Dawes has learned the location of the Senate ap- propriations ‘committee. We ran into the Vice President the other. day going around tn circles in a Senate corridor, “Where is the appropriations com- mittee?” he asked, and to make the story complete, it should be said that we were stumped before we could tell him. There are mysterious recesses about the Capitol Building, of which the country’s honeymooners know consid- erably more than the Capitol habitues, but it would seem that the appropriaa- tions committee should not have to advertise its location. Friends of President-elect Hoover feel he should deliver his first message to Congress in person. Washington judges Presidents by what they do at the outset of their terms. An indelible appraisa] is especially based on some one thing done on the first day that lends itself to slogan form. Dawes will always be remembered as aggressive, because when he first stood up before the Senate he lectured it.. Now should Mr. Hoover go to the Capitol and read his message, it will be taken as a signal of vigorous adminis- tration leadership, it is insisted. Instead of merely sending his views on things, he would, by taking the message to the Capitol and reading it, put himself in the light of saying: “This is what 1 want and expect you gentlemen ‘to give me.” When Congress two years ago passed a bill permitting women to sit on juries here if they wanted to. it was unwit- tingly acting as Santa Claus for 1928. District Supreme Court attaches: report that in the last two months they have had feweggpefusals to serve on the jury from the women than at any time before, and the reason may be gleaned from the attitude of at least three within our ken, who are serving to make Christmas spending money. Jury service pays $4 a day. Two days net $8, two.months service runs up to $200 or so, and $200 is not to be despised.

WANG, CHINA 3 FIGHTING DIPLOMAT, THAIVES UPON WORK Minister of Foreign Affairs Faces Task of Altering Nation’s Treaties. TOILS DAY AND NIGHT, PLANNING FOR FUTURE Statesman Is a_ Veritable Commuter Between Nan- king and Shanghai. Shanghai, .-Dec. 22 (A.P.).—C. T. Wang, China’s minister for foreign affairs, faced with seemingly ever-in- creasing responsibilities and more diffi- cult tasks, seems to thrive on the strain of it all. As China’s Government, now called National and not Nationalist because it ig considered to represent all China and not a faction, slowly increases its stability, C. T. Wang's responsibilities become greater in direct proportion. China's international relations loom large in the eyes of the Nanking regime and it is to C. T. Wang, often called “China’s fighting diplomat,” that it looks for their successful direction. “China is at this moment without doubt united on the question of our international relations, althouch critics may question her unity in other respects,’ Dr. Wang said, describing the present state of affairs in this rapidly changing country. “Revision of our treaties with foreign nations, includ- ing every consideration mentioned in these pacts, is a subject receiving the major attention of my government and it is my responsibility to further that program.” Christian and Revolutionist. Dr. Wang, although only 46 years old, is experienced in the diplomacy of his country. Educated in China, Japan and at Yale and Michigan Universities in the United States, where he acquired a half dozen degrees and made Phi Betta Kappa, he returned to China to become.a Y. M. C. A. secretary, a Stanch Christian and an early ad- yocate of the Chinese revolution. Wang has been a member of the Kuomintang or Nationalist party since its beginning. He was named to China's first parliament, later became minister for foreign affairs in the Peking government and acting premier, served on the Chinese delegation to the Paris Peace Conference, negotiated for China the agreement whereby Japan evacuated Shantung province after the Paris Conference, was China's chief delegate at the International Tariff Conference in Peking in 1925 and 1926, conducted negotations with Soviet Russia and signed a preliminary treaty, later served as minister of justice and last summer became minister for foreign afiairs of the Nationalist regime. Not Easy to Deal With. C. T. Wang has his ups and downs. He has been in and out of the above named jobs and more of lesser note. He is a politician, a statesman and he knows his China. “C. T.." as he is generally known, is not famed for being an easy man for a foreign diplomat deal with. Wang is working for the interests of China and he does his own thinking. In re- gard to China's foreign relations he knows his subject and it is these he is seeking to shift about to a status more acceptable to China. Dr. Wang believes his government is here to stay. His recent successes in negotiations with several foregin gov- ernments have given him great cn- thusiasm for the tasks yet to be ac- complished. His success in negotiating a new commercial treaty with the United States and the latter's willing- ness to raise the status of the Ameri- can Legation in Pekinz to the rank of an embassy are the outstanding ac- complishments of the Chinese foreign minister since he assumed office nearly six months ago. Believes in Calmness. Wang states he is “playing for high stakes,” but with it all he never gets excited. “I believe in keeping calm,” he says. “Sane talk and mature consideration will accomplish more than hasty words and snap judgments.” “Many of China’s ills are the fault of no one but herself,” he quite can- didly remarks, “but others we feel are the result of agreements with other governments which are not equitable to the Chinese. The time has come for these to be changed and we believe the nations concerned realize it and will not be opposed to making alter- ations in existing agreements. That is my job. Many of China’s treaties with various countries, have expired. These are simply dead and unless’ those countries concerned see fit to negotl- ate new agreements on a basis satis- factory to both sides the relations be- tween China and the country con- cerned will simply comé to a stand- still. To those countries whose treaties with us have some years yet to run we are hoping they will see fit to vol- untarily revamp them. “The United States is taking the lead in this direction. Our faith in America is strong. She seems willing to help us along whenever she can. Thankful to : America. “The new Sino-American commercial treaty is an evidence of this, as well as her. decision to make her legation in China am embassy... These things strengthen China's position in the fam- ily of nations, and we have the United States to thank for them.” Wang lives his job day and night. He is almost a commuter between here and Nanking. He has a house in both places and his duties demand that he go back and forth every few days. It is a night’s ride between Shanghai and Nanking, trains leaving either place at 11 p. m. and arriving at the other city in time for a full day’s work. Wang uses this schedule and loses no time, and frequently keeps a secretary or two working half the night to dispose of his dictation. The ministry of foreign affairs is virtually a “one-man show,”” and C. T, Wang is that individual. Mat- ters of small import are referred to him, but he seems to find time to dis of them and atill retain his principal energy for the larger international mat- ters in which he is so interested. Not Hard to See. — Although busy day and night, seven days a week, the foreign minister is not a hard man to see. He always has time to greet a caller or receive thése who have business with him. News- required to make appointments days in advance. If. Dr. ang can be “caught up with” he usu- ally can. be seen. He is on the go and moves fast.

EEPING healthy in the Presil- K dency, I am beginning to believe, is largely a matter of tempera- ment. Calvin Coolidge furnishes con- vincing evidence of it. I recall how Woodrow Wilson’s health broke under the great strain of the war, and how in the last year of his administration he became an invalid. Warren Harding looked like a man of strong physique when he entered the White House in 1921, and he died two years later. The cry went up then that the duties and burdens of the Presidency had been so multiplied that it had been converted into a man-killing job. It would take a man with the physical strength of an ox to withstand four years in the White House, they sald. Something would have to be done to lighten the demands upon the Presi- dency. All sorts of proposals were sug- gested. Some were introduced in Con- gress. One of the most interesting of them called for a sort of Assistant President to take some of the load off the Chief Executive, especially in -mat- ters of official entertaining, glad-hand- ing and in ordinary routine. People looked at Warren Harding’s frail successor and shook their heads sadly. He would hardly last a year, they thought. The Vice Presidency ceased to be the consolation prize in politics and became a much coveted office. Then Calvin Coolidge proceeded to demonstrate how wrong they were. The fragile little man from Vermont turned out to be a piece of tough Yan- kee fiber. He has thrived on the Presi- dency. After five years in the man- killing job, he is fitter than ever. He is probably the healthiest President we have ever had. It is all due to his extraordinary calmness and self-control. He takes his job seriously, but he never lets it get on his nerves. I might add here that 1 think I ob- serve in Washington now the develop- ment of a widespread feeling of gen- uine regret at Calvin's retirement, even among those who a year ago were pull- ing hardest to get rid of him. December 11. OHN RASKOB'S well-intentioned J proposal for a good-will powwow of Democratic senators appears not to have taken hold. My Democratic colleagues are able to get along with® each other in the Senate itself, but a caucus might impose too severe a strain upon senatorial courtesy. With Carter Glass and Tom Heflin ard Furnifold Simmons and William Cabel Bruce pres-, ent, the suggested harmony conference] might become a Donnybrook fair. Unless powerful sedatives can be ap- plied soon to high-strung Southern nerves, Dixie senators who come up for reelection in 1930 will have to com- bat some plain and fancy knifing. Ven- dettas growing out of the last campaign have sprung up in nearly every State in the South. Hoovercrats are waiting to take revenge on Glass Harris, of Georgia; Pat Harrison, Morris Sheppard, J. Hage DWIGHT W. MORROW. 0! Texas, and Tyson, of Tennessee, be- cause they supported the Smith-Rob- ingon ticket. On the other hand, the Democratic regulars in North Carolina and Alabama are sharpening their cut- lasses for Simmons and Heflin when they. expose themselves in the 1930 pri- maries. Offhand, I should say none of these senators would be defeated, but they may be in for a lot of trouble. It looks as, thouvth Southern politics would be full of zest for some years. Incidentally, I hear no more talk among my Democratic friends about disciplining Simmons and _ Heflin. Neither do I on the Republican side about Norris and Blaiflie. The party lash has lost its sting. — December 12. HE Farmer-Labor party may be as ft dead as the Populist, but its rep- resentation in the Senate re- mains intact. It may continue to re- main intact for six years more. Henrik Shipstead’s reelection in Minnesota guaranteed that. When the Kandiyohi dentist defeated Frank Kellogg in 1922 and hurled him to future fame in international diplo- macy, it was regarded as one of those freaks which sometimes happen in farm-belt politics. But now Shipstead has proven himself a miracle man. As the candidate of a party supposed to be deceased, he won out over his Re- publican opponent by a narrow. mar- gin of something close to half a mil- lion votes. They haven’t been,able to get the final figures, because some of them have to be brought in by dog team from the Northern wilds. But whatever the ultimate majority is, enough is available now to break all Gopher records. ss Henrik is back, beaming as any sen- ator should, with a bright new election certificate in his packet. During the campaign he proved himself a past master in the art of correct political balancing. His stance at all times dur- ing the campaign, I am told, was well nigh perfect. He never declared for Hoover and he never indorsed Smith. Being the candidate of a supposedly ex- tinct party he didn’t fee] that he had to. He just sat tight and gathered in the votes. With all his independence, there is a certain faint color of Republicanism about Henrik. He takes his seat on the Republican side of the aisle and votes Republican at least as often as Bob La Follette or George Norris. One of these days, ' am told, he is going to have a caucus with himself and decide to cast a straight Republican ballot on the or- ganization of the new Senate just as he did last year. December 13. HE anguish of the Cabinet guessers is something appalling. Herbert Hoover relieved the starving Bel- gians and now he ought to take pity on are those of China, he ts especially ac- cessible. China is not yet sufficiently unified. for there not to be clearcut factions. He has his enemies, and plenty of them. There is strong Opposition to Wang and his methods.

Washington has never hnown a situation like this before. Usually we have had strong hunches, if not pos- itive information, about the make-up of the new Cabinet long before this Stage of an incoming administration. One day 1 hear Hoover has made up his mind about the entire Cabinet, and the next day I learn that nothing is settled. We used to think Coolidge was close- mouthed, but that was »efore we knew Hoover. Met my old friend Senator —— to- day. He is as close to the new admin- istration as any one. I undertook to extract a little information from him about who’s to be who in the Hoover Cabinet. “Search me!” said he, with a gesture of despair. “I’ve been trying my best to find out, and the only thing I feel pies about is that Mellon is going to stay.” I hear of not less'than six entries in the running for the Secretaryship of State. To the original trio mentioned —Dwight Morrow, Houghton and Borah —have been added three more: Roland | Boyden, of Boston; Henry M. Robinson, of Los Angeles; and Henry P. Fletcher. Of Pennsylvania. Boyden is a Boston lawyer, who acted as our unofficial observer with the Reparations Com- mission. Robinson is a Los Angeles banker, who served as a member of the Dawes committee and in 1927 as chair- man of the American delegation to the International Economic Conference. Fletcher has had a wide experience in international affairs as ambassador to many countries and as Undersecretary of State. Propinquity may help him get the job. He is at Hoover's side con- stantly now as his official guide through South America. Col. Bill Donovan, I hear now, is slated for the Secretaryship of War, in- stead of the Attorney Generalship, but I don’t pretend to have any real infor- mation to bolster up the report. I have an idea that the grapevine will begin to give better service after Hoover reaches Miami. I overheard some of my younger col- leagues gravely planning to side- track the rivers and harbors bill to December 14. HAD a good laugh today when I HENRY P. FLETCHER help wipe out the impending deficit in the budget. I've seen that tried before. The justly celebrated Chinaman’s chance was a sure bet by comparison. You might as well try to convince Tom Heflin he didn’t beat Al Smith. If there wasn’t a red cent in the Treasury the pork barrel would have to be filled just the same. The Senate has been planning to sit in the rotunda next year while the chamber is being remodeled to provide better air and light. Then members suddenly remembered that in the ro- tunda there could be no gallery to listen to thelr oratory, so they pro- ceeded to renege. They are willing to endure the bad air and poor light rather than have their eloquence go unheard. The remodeling will have to be put off ipdefinitely. R. B. S. Canada Contracts For 2 ‘Destroyers Vessels to Be Constructed in England at Cost of $3,500,000.. Ottawa, Dec. 22 (A.P.).—Two desroy- ers were under contract for construc- tion by the Canadian government to- day, the first real ships of war to be built by the dominion. Contracts were awarded Thornycroft, Ltd., of Southampton, England, at $3,500,000 for delivery in 1931. The ships will replace the destroyers Cham- plain and Vancouver loaned to Canada by the British government. These, with @ number of mine sweepers, at present comprise the royal Canadian navy. The new destroyers will be of the Amazon class, 320 feet long, have a speed of 35 knots and carry a comple- ment of 150 officers and men. They will be armed with four 4.7-inch and two antiaircraft guns and have two triple 21-inch torpedo tubes. Features to meet the demands of Canadian cli- matic conditions will be embodied in the ships. The dominion, during the great war built a large number of mine Sweepers. The royal Canadian navy now has a personnel adequate to man the two ships, many of its men hav- ing reenlisted as a result of passage at the last session of parliament of a meaure making them eligible for pen- sions after fourteen years’ service, En- listments are for seven years.

Baty i000 CENSUS JOBS FOR WORKERS HERE PROVIDED IN PLANS Total Throughout Country Will Be About 100,000, Director Announces. COMPLETION OF TASK DUE IN THREE YEARS Cost Estimated at Nearly $40,000,000; Stewart Warns Against Delay. The taking of the decennial census of 1930—the fifteenth in the Nation's history—will require the services of a great army of workers, not a few of whom will be employed here {n Wash- ington. William M. Steuart, director of the Census Bureau, estimated yesterday that about 5,000 additional employes would be put to work here. They will be obtained through the Civil Service Commission, and will bring the total number of census employes here up to 8,000. The employes in the field—those who will do the actual counting of noses—will total about 100,000. It will be the task of the workers here to compile the information which they send in. The taking of the census will require three years, 1930, 1931 and 1932, and will cost nearly $40,000,000. The. in- itial appropriation at this session of Congress will be $19,000,000. Conflict As to Date. When the extra employes will be put to work depends on what date is set by Congress for the launching of the job. The House has adopted a bill designat- ing May 3, 1930, as the day; the Sen- ate census committee has amended this so as to have the work started Novem- ber 1, 1929, five months earlier. How- ever, the Senate itself has not yet acted on the amended Dill Cirector Steuart is strongly in favor of the Senate bill. He points out that there are more people at home around November, and the farmers are in a better position to supply data about their crops. ‘If something isn’t done about the bill soon,” Steuart.said, ‘the census is going to be wrecked.” This census will be followed with un- usual interest on account of the likeli- hood that Congress will pass legislation providing reapportionment of seats in the House. Under the Constitution, there is to be a reappottionment after each decennial census. The provision, however, was ignored after the 1920 census, and the States which think they are entitled to more seats have been setting up a clamor ever since. Once Made By Marshals, From: 1790 to 1870, the decennial enumerations of population were made by United States marshals and thelr assistants. In the first census, the marshals made their returns to the President directly, although the results were compiled and published under the supervision of the Secretary of State. “The State Department,” explains Mr. Steuart, “continued to have charge of census enumerations until the Interior Department was established tn 1849, when the work was transferred to that: department. From 1780 to 1900, the census office was not a T- manent establishment; it was a tém- porary organization—being assembleti for each successive enumeration. In 1902, it was established as a permanent agency of the Government, and in 1903 it was transferred to the Department of Commerce and Labor. “The earlier censuses were primarily a count of the population, classified by sex and broad age groups. As early 43s 1810, however, some information was collected, in addition, concerning manufactures, and in 1820 information was collected concerning persons en- gaged in agriculture, commerce, and manufactures. Expansion of Work Steady. “In 1830, data were collected relating to the deaf, dumb, and blind. It was not until quiries were printed for the use of census enumerators. Social statistics were again collected in 1840, together with information concerning popula- tion, manufactures, mines, and quarries and agriculture. The field of census inquiries has steadily expanded since that date. “With the establishment of the permanent Census Bureau in 1902, some of the inquiries that had been made in connection with the decene- nial enumerations were fixed for dif- fefent dates during the intercensal period. “Miscellaneous” statistical inquiries developed in other Government bureaus have since been transferred to the Bureau of the Census, and many special inquiries have been added by Congress. “Today the bureaw’s work covers the collection of statistics concerning popu- lation, agriculture, manufactures, mines, quarries, electrical industries, transportation by water, births, deaths, marriages, divorces, wealth, indebted- ness, taxation, municipal and State finances, current business, and other phases of our industrial and social life.” Subways Tied Up Amid Record Rush New York Elevated Also Hit by Short Circuit; Big Crowds Mill About. New York, N. Y., Dec. 22 (U.P.).—A general tie-up of subways and elevated trains sent a record crowd of last- minute shoppers milling around the platforms of Times Square and Grand Central in hopeless confusion today. A short circuit caused the power to be shut off for a time on the Interbor- ough lines and prevented the heavily loaded trains from moving. When they got ‘to Times Square Station, the waiting crowd was so large passen- gers were unable to get off the trains. The’ Brooklyn Manhattan lines were similarly delayed when a train devel- oped door trouble and was held up for seven minutes. | At Grand Central Station a woman crowded out of « local train and fell in a faint. An attendant fought the crowds off from trampling her. She revived when she reached the street. The Third Avenue elevated trains were delayed when a train went “dead” and had to be pushed out of the way by ancthge: igi | . i) r : a OBR, FY «em A ee eee 1840 that schedules of in- “ ~

A new version of the Nativity of Jesus. Christ ig revealed in a thirteenth cen- tury manuscript in Latin which recent- ly came to light in the Chapter Library of Hereford Cathedral in England. The manuscript was discovered by Dr. M. R. James, provost of Eton. In addition to disclosing that Joseph, father of Christ, had a son named Symeon, the chronicle | introduces other distinguishing fea- tures, among them the indication that Christ did not have an ordinary corpo- ral body. Dr. James believes that the manuscript is a portion of the Gospel of St. Peter, and that tt was written about 200 A. D. The new Nativity ac- count, as translated, follows: Now Joseph came forth from the cave and stood in the forecourt and said aloud: Ah! This strange city! Ah! This new birth of today How it cometh about that I am a father I know not; yet, behold, this ~ay is born to me a son who is Lord of all. And thus speak- ing he went forth upon the road, say- ing: It is but right that I should look for some good cheer for us, seeing this is the Child’s birthday; for I think that today there is great glory in the heavens, and rejoicing of all, the arch- angels and all the powers of heaven. So it is right for me to honor the day wherein the glory of God hath appeared to all the earth. And as he spake thus, he saw three shepherds hastening toward him, and when they drew near he heard them saying one to another: See, we have gone over all Bethlehem, and not yet have we found that which was prom- ised us. Let us then go outside the town and search in the places hatd by. 38 >y lamb | Joseph said to them: Have ye @ | hasting toward the cave. or a kid to sell, or fowls, or eggs?

James, provost of Eton, discovered recently in ‘the chapter library of Hereford Cathedral a thir- teenth century manuscript in Latin. The manuscript gave a new version of the Nativity; part of the narra- tive was cut up into lessons for the Feast of the Immaculate Concep- tion of the Virgin, the rest was a continuous story. The fact that it mentions Sy- meon, a son of Joseph, and intro- duces other distinguishing features, such as the indication that Christ had not an ordinary’ corporeal body, makes Dr. James believe that we have here nohting less than a portion of the Gospel of St. Peter, which would take this version back to the second century A, D. aa NEA thou hast vouchsafed to receive wus peacably and suffered us to enter into thine house and see the g'ory of God, we entreat thee to come to the as- sembly of us all, that we may make merry together, for: all we shepherds shall offer gifts this day unto Al- mighty God. We pray thee, therefore, think not shame to come and feast to- gether with us, Joseph saith unto them: Ye do well in that ye speak thus, and I thank you; but it is not fitting that:I go with you and leave the Child and His mother. | Yet know ye that my heart is with you. The shepherds said unto him: Seeing that is thy will, we will go our way and | send you the cream of milk, and honey, | and fresh cheeses. them. Joseph saith to them: Go in peace. And they departed, rejoicing ana glorifying God. Now while they were still abiding in the same place, after some days, Joseph, coming out of the cave and looking toward the high road from the east, saw afar off no small company of travelers And when he saw them he said to Symeon: Wha. thinkest thou, are these that come hither to us? Methinks they are come from a far country to meet them. So, as they went, he said to Symeon: Methinks that these | who are coming are diviners, for, see. | every moment they look at the heavens and dispute one with another.

And at the sight we were But he spake to us with a loud voice and said: Feer not, shepherds, for lo, I am come to bring you good tidings of the glory of God and of a great joy that shall be not unto you only but unto al] peoples; for today is born unto us Christ the Lord, who is the Saviour of all the powers of the heavens, yea, and of men. Behold, this day is He manifested in Bethlehem the city of David. Go therefore, and ye shall find Him wrapped in swaddling clothes, and laid in-a manger. He is the Son of God, who ts come to give unto the Gentiles, and to all that believe on Him, life eternal. And when he had so spoken unto us, we heard from héaven: the voices of many angels singing and say- ing: Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men of good will. These things and many more that were sweet to hear they said in their song; and therefore are we come hither that we might see and receive the gift of God, according as it was said unto us: When Joseph heard that, he said: Far be it from me to hide from you this mystery. Come therefore and see; for, behold, that Child that is born ts here in my-lodging. He is Christ the Lord. The shepherds said: Then blessed man, show us that Child that we may worship Him. Joseph saith unto them: Enter in and ' see where he is laid in the manger. And they went in together And when they had looked into the Manger and seen the Child, they fell down and worshiped Him; and there- after they came forth unto Joseph and said: We have seen the Child, full of the grace of God, and we have wor- shiped the mystery of Him. a . 7 ~ And He, when He looked upon us, smiled on us most sweetly; yea, and He did change His aspect into many like- nesses, for first He showed Himself merry and joyful, and thereafter stern and fearful, and again sweet and kindly, and yet again small, and anon great. Also of a sudden, when He opened His eyes, a great light came forth of them. and out of His mouth proceeded a fragrant perfume.

Joseph saith unto them: It were right that ye should first inquire at Jerusalem, there is the temple and sanctuary of the Lord, They answered him: We have indeed been at Jerusalem, and shewed to him that seemeth to rule there that the Christ was of a truth born in his realm, and that we sought for Him, But he said unto us: we Ll indeed know not where He is born. | And forthwith he sent unto all them that searched the scriptures, and to all the diviners and the princes of the priests and the doctors of their and they came unto him. And he asked them where the Christ should be | born, and they said: In Bethlehem of | | Judah, for thus it is written of Him: And thou Bethlehem, land cf Judah, shall not be the least among the princes of Judah, for out of thee shall go forth a Governor which shall rule My people | Israel. + - . . Then the King, when he had heard | these words of theirs, was afraid, and | secret, | calling us together to him in inquired diligently of us the time when first the star had appeared unto ub, | and when we accordingly answered him that which he asked, ne us saying: Go then and carelully seek out the child that is born in the City of Bethlehem, and, when ye _ have found Him, come hither again and tell me. that IJ also may go to Him with | you and honor Him with my gifts.

And he did so; and he said to his father: Be- hold, they have entered in and saluted the Child, and are fallen on their faces or, the earth. And they are worshiping Him in an outlandish fashion, and each of them kissing the Child's feet. What is it that they do? I know not. Joseph saith to him: Watch carefully.

For, see, they have offered Him out of their pouches, gold, frankincense and 'myrrh; and to Mary also they have given many presents. Joseph saith to him: These strangers from a far coun- try have done better herein, that they have not Kissed the Child for naught; | not like those shepherds of our people, which came hither without any pres- ents.

CHRISTMAS CAROLS SUNG With fresh laurels won in a European concert tour last summer, augmenting its. 115 years of successful choral sing- ing as an organization, the Yale Glee Club scored another triumph last night in its concert at the Wardman Park Hotel. Yale alumni and friends of the Glee Club members were on hand to keep the spirit of Old Eli alive in the ap- plause. An informal dance followed the concert, Among the notable achievements of the Glee Club last night was its work in capella numbers, that is singing without accompaniment. Directed by Damon deB. Wack, '29. leader of the Glee Club, the members sang without absolute pitch and unity of attack which might be envied by any choral group. The program opened with the stirring “Mother of Men,” sung as only Yale men can sing it, followed by a group of little-known Christmas carols by Bach, Preatorius and R. L. Pearsall! which were given with artistic inter- pretation and sympathetic treatment A group of tenor solos by J. V. Griggs, ‘29, were pleasing and then the Glee Club appeared again, 44 strong, to sing a group of secular songs, including several negro spirituals The double quartet acquitted itself in its group with distinction and rous- ing Yale songs concluded the program in a creditable manner. The was given. under direction W. Watkins, acting director. concert Two Sentenced to Death. Louisville, Ky., Dec. 22 (A.P.).—John A.

I a op — a. ~y *, Fort Myer, where a large part of the National Capital’s Army garrison is sta- ‘ tloned, was founded as “Fort Whipple” im 1863. Across from the city on the Virginia side of the Potomac, it is a part of the Arlington reservation, which includes the National Cemetery and is ‘ more than 1,000 acres in area, being a part of the Parke Custis and Lee és- tate, confiscated by the Federal Gov- ernment in 1861. Mrs. Robert E. Lee was the holder of the title to the estate at the time it was taken over by the Government. Later a part of the reservation was set aside as a national cemetery and part segregated into what was originally called Fort Whipple. When the Unknown Soldier of the United States in the World War was buried in Arlington National Ceme- tery, the attention of the world was drawn to the tract, containing the Original Parke Custis mansion of best classical colonial style and built after Grawings of the Temple of Paestum Bear Naples, Italy. Fort Whipple, now Fort Myer, is part of the Arlington reservation immedi- ately adjacent to the cemetery. The board of officers deciding on its estab- lishment, recommended construction of a fort at this point on the Potomac here it would of use in the de- ense of Washington. Actual construction did not begin, however, until 1872, long after the need for protection against Confederate raids up the Shenandoah Valley had passed. The original fort is still standing. In in 1881 the post was designated a signa! school, and its buildings were used as warehouses. In 1887, it was enlarged and has served from that time as a station for cavalry and field artillery. During the World War it became one of the first officers’ training camps. While cavalry and field artillery pre- dominate in the personnel of Fort Myer, there are units of the signal corps, medical and quartermaster corps and ordnance department stationed there. The fort is best known for its mounted service, however, as it is often called on for ceremonial purposes. The garrisons of the forts about Washington, such as Forts Myer, Wash- ington, Humphreys, and Hunt, might be compared in a way to Windsor, St. James, the Horse Guards, and Bucking- ham stations of London, in that they are under the eye of the highest Army officers and like all troops under those circumstances, apt tobe fit in uni- form, accoutrement and in drill. The post is, well-equipped with utilities and has its own chapel, hospital, and fre department. While connected with no great his- torical events, Fort Myer has distinc- tion from its nearness to the Nationa! Capital and from its own -beauty.

C 7. Special Plans for Ruel and Judge; Latter May Be Rested. By FRANK H. YOUNG. ITH the opening of the regular baseball schedule moved for- ward, the Nationals will report later than usual at their Tampa train- ing camp next spring, the first con- signment of players being due to ve ready for work at Plant Field on Mon- day, February 25, according to plans outlined by Manager Walter Johnson yesterday. Johnson and President Clark Griffith have spent considerable time working out a reporting schedule and spring plans in general and have divided their forces into four squads, with three res porting dates. The group reaching the Smoker City Sunday, February 24, will be made up of Cathers Muddy Ruel, Clifton Bolton and Albert Bool and the following rookie pitchers: Lloyn Brown, Bob Burke, Henry Campbell, Guy Can- trell, Paul Hopkins, Ad Liska, Paul Mc- Cullough and Jim Weaver. On Sunday, March 3, two squads— termed by Johnson “old pitchers” and “young regulars’’—-are due to make their appearance. ‘These include the quartet of mound stand-bys, Garland Braxton, Irvi-g Hadley, “Sad Sam” Jones and Fred Marberry; Catchers Ed Kenna and Bennie Tate; Infielders Harley Boss, Joe Cronin, Jack Hayes, Charles Gooch, “Jay” Partridge and “Pete” Yoter; and Outfielders “Red” Barnes, Sammy West, Melburn Simons and Spencer Harris. This leaves only the “old regulars’— Ossie Bluege, Joe Judge, Sam Rice, “Stuffy” Stewart, Goose Goslin and “Buddy” Myer—and they will be ordered | to report on Sunday, March 10. In connection with these assign- ments, Johnson declares that “every little movement has a mean- ing of its own.” With the first exhibition game booked for March 10, the date on which the final group of players report, the Nat leader made his plans so that he would have a fair team ready, with every player’s case given thought and allowances made to meet spe- cific conditions. His idea is to use youngsters almost exclusively in the first few games, espe- clally as regards battery-men, and he will not have his so-called “old regu- lars” ready until the Nats and Cin- cinnati Reds clash at Tampa on March 23 and 24. In early games, Bool and Bolton will divide the catching burden, Boss, Hayes, Cronin and Yoter likely will make up the infield, with the out- field duties taken care of by Barnes, West, Simons and Harris. Ruel, it will be noted, is due to re- port with the first squad, but this is | because a new system will be tried in his development. His arm has been slow in rounding to for the past few springs. This winter, it is understood, the little backstopper is taking regular exercises and the plan is for him to report with the first consignment and to work slowly over a long stretch. He will not be given any more work than he wants and will not be rushed in any way, Johnson being satisfied if he is ready to work when the regular season opens. In the case of Joe Judge another experiment will be made, this at the first baseman’s own suggestion. In the past, Joe has been termed as “brittle” and has lost much time each season. Last year, however, he was ready ‘or action practically every day. He attributes this to the fact that while George Sisler was get- ting the call, he sat on the bench during most of the 1928 Grapefruit League games. Consequently, he wants to take things easily in the preseason games next year and Johnson agrees with him that the idea is a good one. Joe loves to play, however, and the chances are that, once the Nats start actual competition, the veteran first baseman, like the old fire horse when the gong rings, will be “rarin’ to go” and will forget all about his nicely worked-out plan. Boss, however, will be given plenty of opportunity to de- velop, for he will be carried all season as first base understudy... Regarding the four regular pitchers, Johnson plans to use them often enough to get them in tip-top shape, but the chances are that the rookies will do most of the preliminary mound workeg, Pladner Nears Top; Beats Ernie Jarvis Paris, Dec. 22 (A.P.).—Emile “Spider” Pladner, crack French flyweight, over- came another obstacle in his drive to- ward recognition as a leading con- tender for the world’s title tonight, when he outpointed Ernie Jarvis, of England, in 12 rounds. The Frenchman, who recently con- quered Izzy Schwartz, one of the lead- ing American contenders, had a hard fight with the English boxer.

By DINON STEWART (United Press Staff Correspondent), HICAGO, Dec. 22.—Tommy Lough- ran, of Philadelphia, world’s light- heavyweight champ, will make his bid for the heavyweight title in the Chicago ring. Loughran signed a with Paddy Harmon, president of the Chicago Stadium Corporation, calling for him to meet the best heavyweight obtainable on or before March 31. The fight is to take place in the new sta- dium, which will have a seating pacity of 25,000 for fights, 8,000 than Madison Square Garden in York, “Loughran looks to me to be the logical successor to Gene Tunny,” Har- mon said in announcing the signing of the contract. “Any heavyweight who thinks he can whip Loughran can get a shot at him in Chicago. contract tonight Cae more New “Tt haven't decided nent for Loughran’s first bout at the stadium, but the date is open for dack Dempsey, Jack Sharkey, ‘Young Stribling, Paulino, Johnny Risko or any other heavyweight im- portant enough to attract the cus- tomers, ‘“T have what can be termed a call’ contract with Loughran, it because he assured me hat he would meet the best the heavy- weights as fast as they could be matched against him.

After watching Jim Maloney, Bos- ton, and Con O'Kelly, of the County Cork, Ireland, go ten rounds with- out deciding anything tn the last Garden show, fans will welcome a pair of middleweights if their fight- ing ability approaches their reputa- tions. Hudkins has been working con- tinuously at another gymnasium and is radiating confidence. “No one will catch me napping,” he declared after his workout today, “Tam in shape to fight now and Vil be better Friday.” Hie was even willing to bet $10,000 on himself—if offered odds of 2 to 1.

Heydler’s suggestion hitters be *)*) oe we Mr. John that ghost- | | represent the pitchers at bat has been received engaged to as though it represented a new principle in the the principle is quite mature and familiar to all persons who are at all familiar with the industry. Mr. Heydler has merely extended the principle of ghost- writing, one of the most important sub- sidiary activities of baseball, to cover another phase of the baseball player's work. : : And the proposed new type of ghost- ing is relatively trivial because the hitting of the pitchers has never been nearly as important as their writing, which has always been committed by proxy. A good pitcher has been known to earn, or at least to accumulate as much as $10,000 a year for his litera- ture, but the general run of pitchers, if they were to be paid for their hit- ting, as such, probably would owe their employers money at the end of a league season. Obviously then the proposal to appoint ghost-hitters represents an unimportant departure from baseball custom. baseball business, whereas es Pitchers, Like Pickpockets, Find Own Ilk Poor Prey. I have never been able to obtain a satisfactory explanation of this failing of the pitchers. Mr. Jack Hendricks, the manager of the Cincinnati Reds, is a fallen-away lawyer who still has rational moments now and again when he can apply logic and the rules of evidence to the facts of a situation. In such a moment he once explained to me that the futulity of pitchers when facing other pitchers was roughly simi- lar to the futility of pickpockets or confidence men when singled out, by chance, for the professional attentions of other pickpockets or other confi- dence men. “Tt all reminds me,’ he sald, “of the case of a very prominent manager of pugilists, who once took a champion of the world out for a tour of seventeen Midwestern and Southern cities in the course of which the champion met his favorite sparring partner and knocked him out seventeen times under seven- teen different names. One night the sparring partner would be introduced as Hyman Silver, the New York Ghetto terror. Another night he would be Kid Panther, of Arizona; the next night he would be Terry Hogan, the Irish cham- pion, and again he would come into the ring as Ah Hooey, of the Celestia] Em- ire. r “The whole affair was quite un- scrupulous as the champion, the spar- ring partner and the manager used to ride from town to town in one drawing room and the patrons of the sport were led to believe that the two boys were strangers to one another. Ah! The Mysterious Stranger Finds Way Into Case. “In the course of the trip they ac- cumulated a large sum of money, of which the manager received 30 per cent. But on his way home to New York he stopped in St. Louis, which in those days was the headquarters of the nar- |cotic drug trade, and was approached with a proposition by a mysterious stranger who offered to sell him five pounds of raw cocaine for $5,000. He explained that this commodity could be retailed in New York for about $1 a pinch and said the $5,000 investment would return a profit of about 500 per cent. “So the manager purchased a five- pound package and hid it in his suit- cree," Ghost Hitters for Pitchers New Version of Old Idea By WESTBROOK PEGLER He had never seen cocaine be« fore and was much afraid of it, but on the train ride he became curious and thought he would taste it on the tip of his tongue. And then he discovered that he had been deceived. He had paid $5,000 for five pounds of best qual- ity of epsom salts, “If “you ask me to give you an aphorism to cover the futility of pitch- ers when facing other pitchers, I should Say that those who live by the sinker, the slow ball, the spitter and the swift Shall perish by the same.” What Will You Have Today? Stockholders Decide. As the wisdom of Mr. Heydler’s recommendation, the proprietors of the major league baseball firms will decide it they have not decided by now. But this proposal of his presents an inter- esting peculiarity of the so-called na- tional game which the colleges may deem worth their consideration if there are any colleges now which regard baseball as an important sport. It ap- pears that the rules of the game of baseball may be changed at will to serve the business interests of the stockholders of the major league teams and that these rules are the official rules. That might be all right if the stockholders could always be trusted to revise the rules only in the interests of the sport and not strictly in the inter- ests of the business. When the stock- holders discovered that their own ‘ule regarding the size and weight of the baseball permitted of great variation in the temperament of the ball they pro- ceeded by stealth to. effect . those changes, with the result that the na- ture of the game was changed. As the rule now stands they are able to regu- late the home-run hitting from week to week by ordering one dozen gross of frisky balls one week and a consign- ment of possum balls the next week. size and weight alone bain amacdtine by rule. Inasmuch as the game is their game by right of preemption or what- ever right, that may be fair enough. but if it is fair, it seems curious that they should have made the change by stealth. A manufacturer of baseballs has told me that in the heat of the competition to turn out a baseball con- taining the maximum number of home runs his firm once went so far as to produce sample copies of a ball which was merely afi oversize golf ball, cov- ered with horsehide, “It was a legal’ baseball, too,” he stated. to CARLYLE TO COAST, Oakland, Calif., Dec, 22 (A.P.).—Roy Carlyle, an outfielder, has been pur- chased by the Oakland club from Bir- mingham, of the Southern Association. | eleven ia dogged ia | best California 5-4 Choice Over Ga.

SCHOOL FIVES INACTIVE OVER HOLIDAYS 17 _ RE noe Ot me Only One Fray On Program This Week ee es +. ee Central Meets Alumni in’ Annual Contest on Wednesday. Major Season Opens for Colleges After New v Year’ Ss. OLLOWERS of local college and scholastic basket ball must content themselves this week with virtue ally what they have seen and, what they hope to see, for the week will witness nothing in the way of combat among their favorite court gladiators until De- cember 31, with the exception of the annual clash of the Central High School Varsity and Alumni next Wednesday night. The college players have shelved their uniforms to go home and find out What will be left them by the big, iat fellow with the red coat and the flow- ing whiskers. The lull is at hand again with activi- ties ceasing during the Yuletide vaca- tion period, A week from tomorrow night Gallau- det? will roll up the curtain again in a game with the Flint (Mich.) Silents, who will be making a tour of the East. But in the meantime the fast-traveling Georgetown troupe will resume action On out-of-town courts, meeting the Knights of Columbus Quintet in Brook- lyn, N, Y., on Thursday night in the first of five foreign battles. George Washington will take its initial splash of the season after the holiday period. The courtmen of Coach Crum will) entertain some opponent, probably High Point College, of High Point, N. C., on the night of January 5 in the Il Street Gymnasium. Followers of the downtown jnstitu- tion have reason to expect a fair show- ing by the Colonials now that a fairly capable group of candidates has re- ported for practice. The once-gloomy outlook that seemed to.envelop George Washington has taken on a few streaks of pink. The Maryland Five will get up steam again on January 7, playing the Uni- versity of Kentuc a, at Lexington, Ky. It is probable that another game will be scheduled for the Terrapins while on this trip. Catholic U. Will resume the grind with Gallaudet as its opponent on January 9, at the big Brookland Hall, ai. American will return to scheduled comp. ition on January 11, in a tussle with the Baltimore U, Quintet, at Bal- Limore, The jaunt of the Georgetown passers will be followed with in- terest by many of the local bugs, since Coach Ripley’s men made quite an impression on their audi- ences in their first three games here this month, The Hilltoppers won easily in that trio of contests and caused much fa- vorable comment on their future pras- pects, especially by persons associated with the sport as officials and coaches. The objective of the Georgetown Quintet on the road is the conquest of the teams entered in the Yale Univer- sity tournament in New Haven, Conn., on January 2 and 3. If the Blue and | Gray can get over the hurdles there presented by Yale, New York U. and Holy Cross, there will be left very little doubt about its strength. “KRESSLEYS BEAT GUARDS. The Kressley Athlectic Club basket ball team found an easy victim in the Company D five of the National Guards last night scoring a 30-13 victory over the Soldiers at the Coast Guard Armory gymnasium. With Bucca lead- ing the attack with 7 field goals, the Kressley’s held an 18-4 lead at half time. Kressley. GFG c eager lf. Buce a. ; F. Rashthen: Cc. VanGuider, lg. F.Thomas, rg.

By MIKE K@BLby (Kastern High Selouol Coach). ESPITE the fact that the inter- high basket ball series is but two weeks away, the opening double- header coming on January 4, very few opinions are being heard in schoolboy circles as to the ultimate winner this season, tending to prove that either not much is known as yet concerning the relative power of the five squads or else every one expects a closely fought series with no present outstanding fa- vorite. At the present moment, chiefly due, perhaps, to the fact that the two clubs have played more engagements than the others, Central and Eastern have given cause to their supporters to look with much favor on their chances for success in the 1929 series. Central, with a new team, where the squad of last season left off and has won all but two of the halt dozen or more contests played since the regular schedule was commenced. From the form displayed thus far, one can not figure the Blue and White any- thing but a worthy contender for the title that Central is defending this year. Kastern, too, has begun to gete going in a manner befitting the known ability of the members of the squad and gave evidence of it in the game with C, U. Frosh, a team that the local high schools are going to find hard to beat, los- ing by 4 points in the latter part of the game. Once Coach Sanborn settles on his regular line-up, his team should advance quickly to a rating along with. Central in the preseason dope sheet of the critics, These ratings of necessity have been niade hecause of the fact that the two clubs haye swung Mito action rapidsy, seems to have begun’ | fifth or yet ohe cah not get away from the fact that both have exhibited signs of hav- ing good teams this year. Western certainly ran up a score on George Mason High, larger than either Eastern or was able to muster, and more learned in the hext two weeks as to what. may be expected of the team. Coach Moore seems to be working with some of the boys who composed his lightweight team last season and mav be building further ahead than the mresent year if he can keep the group together. Right now it. would be hard to place the squad on a par with Cen- tral and Eastern, though it ig to be hoped that such will be the case in the interest of a spirited series. Tech to date has only played one gume against a scheduled opponent. The squad has two members of last year’s five, Goldblatt and Brown, and a permanent coach. Coach Boyd is the sixth new mentor of basket ball at Tech in as many years, a condi- tion that has kept the Maroon and Gray court squads below the level of its football and track aggregations and with his coming, McKinley supporters are hoping for a revival of basket ball interest and basket. ball honors, Business has yet to swing Into action and nothing is known definitely of the capability of the Stenographers. For contenders at this early moment the writer nominates Eastern and Cen- tral mainly as previously stated, be- cause these two teams have. warranted consideration from the games they have put up and they ‘should be able to hold their own with any of the others in the series. Later Tech, West- ern or Business may horn into the spat- light before the series opens and at least one of them should do so. Still, the writer believes Central and Fastern are sure to be contenders. large much Central will ve iin last | Northern | will settle | this after- | which n mei decide the | of | | That's Union | all | i strength in both Southwest | ithe regara same us before decision at th the week rhe championship Palace can | place honor Palace wai) play-off will the the field The game of ne tlhe less the the said ‘ Quit better. teams, but both po the ling departments Hackensmith Northerns’ big threat, while Ti backbone of the Palace back field men and able to hit mkel Both | punt and pass. the | League | The game which has take: pects of the Capital City Lea tle of the century,” will b three capable officials They ar Mitchell, referee; Thomas, unipire, Simpson, head linesinan Manager Leonardo, of the Northern requests his players to report at Ubiou League Park at 12 o'clock 1 for liminary practice prior to ge to work in wibning the gume Perrone’s Palace warriors will probab get to the park about v half hour | for the same kind of pregame practice The Southern A.

As no definite action was on turning the President’s Cup to this committee, at a meeting of tie Corinthian Yacht Club several days ago, it was inadvisable to call the com- mittee together. It was fo. this rea- e£0n that no further action was taken by the committee, and not as stated in the article in your paper, due to pro- crastination and lack of cooperation among members of the committee. “An impression is further given that the money could not be raisec for the purpose of building a defender boat, which is also incorrect, as no attempt was made to solicit any furds for this purpose, except at the meeting al the Carlton where several thousands dol- lars Was subscribed in five minutes.

HISTORY PR OMISED RichmondCit Is Backing Tourney New England Expects to Send Fifty or More Teams. ~ a ee ee Hooper Midas As- sistant Secretary of Title Event. Bm westonel Dv is the keyword for National Duckpin Congress Bowl- ers for their second annual tour- hnament. to be held March 11-30 in Richmond, Va. The event is destined to be one of the largest duckpin pro- grams ever known in the East. The city of Richmond is working Overtime in making ready for the tour- Nament, with city officials, including Mayor J. Fulmer Bright, giving all the cooperation possible. C. R. Cook, a Native of Richmond and an official of the C. & O. Railroad, is Richmond’s director of the National Duckpin Bowling Congress, and he, with John R.. Hooper, secretary of the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Athletic Association, is working hard to accom- modate the many visiting bowlers to come for the tournament. Hooper has been elected assistant secretary for the tournament. The reception committee is led by M. G..Finnigan, well-known Richmond eportsman, which in itself assures the visiting bowlers an enjoy- able time. More enthuslasasm than ever known before is being shown by all concerned and especially by the New England teams, of which a large number are expected to send entries. Fully fifty teams from the State of Connecticut alone are ex- pected. Two noted New England teams who have signifiec their in- tentions of entering are led = by Frank Englebrook, of Rock and Englebrovok’s, Inc., Providence, ii. 1... and ‘immy Ross, of Hardy and Ross, Lawrence, Mass. Englebrook is well known to local bowlers. He is a pioneer Rhode Island alley owner, who came into promi- mence when he discarded the sand- papered alleys at his establishment and reinodeled with National Duckpin Bowling Congress equipment. Ross, it will be remembered, Ieu his team on an invasion ol this city back in 1916 in a match for the championship with the Royals, led by Pop. Halley. Al- though defeated, Ross’ team put up a wonderful battle and Ross himself Showed the local bowling public some Spectacular duckpin shooting. DISTRICT LEAGUE, King Pin retained the leadership of this league by the narrow margin of 2 percentage points, .694 to .692. King Pin won two games from Northeast Temple during the past week; while Convention Hall was. winning three gamer Stanford Paper Co. King Pin’s margin is the result of a post- poned set with Petworth. The Progressive Printers not only won three games from Curb Cafe, but also established an all-time District record with its 669 games. This bet- tered the former record of 668 held by the Waverlys by one pin. The King Pi-. and Rathskeller Clubs jointly held the former District League record of 666. Meyer Davis lost three games to Cor- nell’s Lunch and Petworth won two games from Arcadia to conclude the schedule before the league recessed until after the holidays.

While they still occupy the cellar berth in the Washington Ladies’ League, the Colonials are no longer the “de- Spised” tail-enders, for not only did they meet and conquer the champs by a 2-to-1 count, but broke the deadlock that has existed between the Com- mercials and Beeques for first place. While Beeques were losing to Colo- nials, Commercials grabbed three from the Hilltoppers and now have a com» fortable two-game lead. Doris Goodall was ‘argely responsible fo: Colonials’ triumph. Her nifty 126 in the first proved to be the decisive counter, while a well-placed 103 helped in the second clash. She finished with 99, to give her a nice 328 total for the set. Bertha Greevy was high scorer for ee gy getting 304, with high game at : Marie Frere is apparently back in form as she turned in another set well over 300 to help Commercials beat Hilltops. Marie shot 315, with a nice single count of 119 in her final effort. Elaine Palmer also kept up her good work by socking the maples for 311, while her teammate, Margaret Miltner, garnered 308 for the string. Pauline Ford was best for the iosers, getting 809 for the set Florence Rembold's record slashing performance was the outstanding fea- ture of the night’s play, however, her ' splendid: counts of 110, 120 and 130, for a total of 360, puts her on top for high individual set honors for the sea- son.

A scoreless tie resulted in the first annual game of the two in 1926, while a 6 to 6 deadlock was the score last year. The Petworths will enter the fray slightly the favorites because of their recent showing against the Northern Preps, but the Pennants expect to give plenty of fight. Both teams have done well in games this season. The Petworths, in the Capital City League, flashed exception- ally after a miserable beginning, while the Pennants, organized too late to en- ter the league, played extremely well against independent teams. Their best feat was of scoring against the National Press Building Cards, who before that time had not been scored upon by any team. CALVARY REDS WILLING. Calvary Reds want more games.

T the last annual meeting of the District of Columbia Golf Asso- ciation the appointment of two important committees was authorized and at a later date their personnel was announced by the president, C. Ches- ter Caywood. Upon the first commit- tee devolved the task of redrafting the constitution, by-laws and rules and regulations of the association with the view of making them conform to pres- ent purposes and objects. The second committee was directed to formulate a definition of an amateur golfer which is to be incorporated in the revised constitution. The proposed revision is now in prog- ress under the direction of a commit- tee composed of Albert E. Steinem, Town and Country, chairman; Norman B. Frost, Indian Spring; G. H. Chasmar, Columbia; Robert Stead, jr., Chevy Chase; Guy Mason, Congressional; Dr. T. J. W. Brown, Bannockburn; C. B. Garnett, Washington Golf and Coun- try; David L. Thomson, Manor; Col. H. W. Fleet, Army War College, and Presi- cent Caywood, ex officio. The commit- tee will meet again shortly after the year upon the call of the chair- man to complete its work. One of the principal reasons for re- drafting the constitution was a doubt whether the member clubs in the asso- ciation are at present compelled by any of its provisions to be subject to the rulings of the organizations. An ex- amination of the document demon- strates that only a few minor changes in the wording will be necessary to bring about this result. hew The mek date of the annual meeting the first Monday in March which next year will be in- auguration day. In order to avoid this conflict of dates in the future it is probable that the second Mon- day in March will be named in the new constitution. is will be the directing the the associa- probable of of Anot] Insertion presence tion at riven under ler change rae an paragraph official of its authorization. It will be remembered ‘that junior championship last year clation was unrepresented, but. with the proposed addition the constitu- tion this can not happen in the future. at the the as- ae The status Tay lor, committee to define is composed of Dr. Congressional! George James, Columbia; Dr. Mel- ville B. Fischer, to and Country; Middleton Beainan, Bannockburn; Perry B. Hoover, Indlan Spring, and C. Chester Caywood, ex officio. “The committee will be called to- gether within the next week or ten days,” said Dr. Taylor last week. “U.» to the present time we have not con- sidered the matter except informally. When I was out in Minneapolis and Chicago during the summer I discussed the question with golfers who are prominent in the Western Golf Associ- ation and since then I have tal’ ed to members of the Metropolitan Associa- tion. amateur Bruce lL. chairman; P “All of them agree that the sub- ject is a difficult one to handle and most of them seem to be con- ient with the definition and rul- ing of the United States Golf As- sociation. Our easiest way would be to adopt the wording of the national organization as a part of our constitution, especially if it is satisfactory to the parent body.” “But “Tt “No, that is not the case.” is not?” for President Taylor, in his in- augural address at the last annual meeting of the association, admitted that the definition and ruling were by no means perfect and invited sugges- tions for improvement.” “With that fact in mind,” replied Dr. Taylor, “our committee would certainly be justified in approaching the subject from our own point of view. If we de- cided upon new wording we could sub- mit the result of our efforts to the of- ficials of the national association and ask their judgment. We will have plenty of time between now and next Marck to go thoroughly into the matter and if we can be fortunate enough to frame a new definition that will prove comprehensive and satisfactory, we will be amply repaid for our time and trouble.” “If you lose your temper you are likely to lose your match,” is one of the wise sayings of Horace G. Hutchinson, who was for many years the dean of the golf players and writers in Great Britain. Roger D. Lapham, the Pacific Coast member of the United States Golf As- sociation executive committee, writing from Del Monte, Calif., where the na- tional amateur tournament will be played next September on the Pebble Beach course, predicts that the event will be conducted along the same lines as last vear, viz. two eighteen-hole matches on Wednesday, with the suc- ceeding matches played at thirty-six holes. He says that Bobby Jones will defend his title and among those whom he expects to compete are Roland Mac- enzie and George J. Voigt. The entry list will be limited to 150 players. Kenneth McRay, playing as a guest at the Indian Spring Club last week, had the thrill of a lifetime when he made a birdie 3 on the eighteenth hoie because, with a score that usually aver- ages 100, a birdie on his card is as rare as hens’ teeth, He missed his drive and his second shot sliced the ball into the rough. Then, with a spoon, he sent the ball toward the green, at least 150 yards away, and when the _ ball struck the putting surface it rolled into the cup. As the quartet with whom he was playing was paying bonuses for birdies, pars and syn- dicates, McRay’s 3 on the final green was lucky in more ways than one. Some time ago this column called at- tention to the practice initiated by the Massachusetts State Golf Association of issuing cards to golfers belonging to member clubs certifying their mem- bership status and eir handicaps. These cards are furnishéd at the nomi- nal price of $1, and the plan has proven so successful] that it insures an annual revenue to the association of about $6, The Metropolitan Golf Association, composed of clubs in the New York section, has now adopted the plan and already more than 4,000 cards have been sold. At the annual meeting of the association last week the first card waa sold at auction for $50 to a nonresi- dent member whose handicap is 17, the card being autographed by Jess Sweetser. New York golfers going South for the winter will carry their certified handicap cards with them and can play without question in all handi- cap events. There is no reason why this plan should not be adopted by either the District Golf Association or the Middle Atlantic Golf Association, A very large proportion of Dis- trict golfers would willingly pay $l. for a credential of this charac- ter and the money paid in would not only place the association on a Sound financial basis but would provide for the expense of clerical work necessary to prepare and issue the cards and to keep track of handicap changes. If some one would only start the ball rolling, the plan could be easily and effec- tively handled, Dr. Robert L. Eller was playing in a four-ball match on the Columbia course last week, with Clark C Griffith as his partner, and with James E. Baines and E. B. Eynon on the op- posing side. It was a rainy day ana the ground was soft and sloppy. Al- though Eller wore smvoth-soled shoes he started with four pars, 4, 4, 4 and 3 By the time he reached the ninth green, however, he was slipping and sliding and his well-intentioned shot: went all awry. Alongside the tenth fairway is barn. Into this barn Eller disappeared, He rummaged around and presently found some stiff wire that had been used for baling hay. With a few in- genious twists he fashioned the wire into a sort of antiskid chain for his right: foot, which he secured to his shoe by several turns of the wire around his ankle. Thus equipped, he a all championship tournaments | went back to the course and thereafter had no trouble. He played the second nine in 40 strokes, only 5 over par. “There's a story for the Tee to Green column in The Post,” said the quar- tet as they admired the contraption on Eller’s shoe. And so it is. Dr. Thomas J. Rice and Dr. B. &. Taylor have been having a series of battles-royal on the course of the Washington Golf and Country Club. Their first six matches re- sulted in each winning two and losing two, with the other two halved. Last Wednesday they played their seventh match with Dr. Taylor com- ing through as victor, although only by the narrow margin of 1 up. He was 2 up at the turn, putting for a 39 on the ninth green, but Dr. Rice won the incoming nine by 1 up. “I was beaten but not disgraced,” said Dr. Rice. The executive committee of the United States Golf Association has set- tled the problem of the future conduct of the national public links champion- ship. It will be remembered that at the last tournament held in Philadel- phia there were two colored golfers, one from Newark and the other from Chi- cago, and when they were disqualified they took their case into court, Their reinstatement was ecrdered by the court, notwithstandnig the fact that they had disqualified themselves, but in order to avoid further complication they with- drew. The association has decided that the qualifying round, which is the only satisfactory method: of determining eligibility, shall not be abandoned and that all players on public links shail be entitled to enter the qualification competition. For the first time since national public links championships were inaugurated, however, the formal announcement of the event will contain a notice to the effect that the erecutive committee reserves the right to reject any entry. ‘This discretion is exercised in connec- tion with all national amateur championships and has never been questioned, When contestants have qualified they will be required to fill out a blank giv- ing their names, age, nationality and color. It is easy to see that upon an examination of this card the commit- tee will be able to decide whether the contestants shall be allowed to play in the national event. The committee decided to assume this responsibility rather than place it upon a local rep- resentative of the association. “The season’s greetings from your locker boy” is the heading of an at- tractive Christmas card sent out by Clarence Washington Jones, the popu- lar locker boy at the Washington Golf and Country Club. It is appropriately printed in red and green, with a fac simile of Clarence’s signature. The greetings are conveyed in the following original verse: I hope, your tee shots go straight down the In Ninteeen Hundred and Twenty-nine. Whether zon play like a dub, a Jones or & At the snineteenth hole you will get an eagle. All the golf club champions in the District have received invitations to participate in a national championship tournament to be held on the St. Agus- tine course January 16 to 19, inclu- sive. Johnny Farrell will be in charge of the event. A qualifying round of eighteen holes will be followed by match play. A large attendance of club champions is expected. De Mar, on Jury, Ran To and From Courthouse Clarence De Mar, veteran marathon champion, in order to serve on the jury of Middlesex County Superior Court and keep in trim for the Olym- pics at Amsterdam at the same time, ran back and forth daily to the court- house from his home in Melrose, Mass. A room in the Sheriff’s office was assigned to De Mar for the changing of his running togs to street attire. A large crowd watched the arrival of | the Sunday school teacher, printer, . marathon runner, Juryman. De Mar was on jury duty three weeks. :

ee | qt NOTION WAL BP - BY SENATE. BELIE Protests on Confirmation, Due to Merger Stand, Is Held Not Serious. QUESTION OF PUBLIC HEARINGS IS IN DOUBT Decision to Be Reached After Return From Christmas Holiday Recess. The nomination of Col. Harrison J. Brand, jr., to serve another term as a member of the local Public Utilities Commission will be approved by the Senate, according to indications yes- terday. Although members of the Sen- ate District committee have received protests against confirmation of Col. Brand, it is understood that none of these protests is regarded as ‘serious enough to disqualify him. Whether there will be a hearing on Brand’s nomination will be decided after the Senate returns from its Christ- Mas recess. Even if there is one, it is not likely that any testimony will be offered that will hurst Brand’s chances. Opposition Due to Merger. Much of the opposition to Brand grows out of his action in joining the other members of the Public Utilities Commission in approving the agreement entered into by the local traction com- panies for a merger. This is the agreement upon which Is based the joint merger resolution now pending in Congress, which recently Was condemned by Dr. Milo R Maltbis, the New York utilities expert. As for the merger proceedings, Har- ley P. Wilson and the other traction Officials wave not yet completed their reply to the report of Dr. Maltbie. Will Point Out *allacies. They were told to prepare a reply at @ meeting of the merger subcommittee of the Senate District committee early last week. It is expected that the traction men will complete their statement some day this week, but it probably will not be made public until it is turned over to the Senate District committee after January 3. Wilson, owner of the Washington Rapid Transit Co., and author of the present merger compact, already has announced that, so far as the reply to Maltbie’s report is concerned, he and his colleagues will devote them- selves to pointing out the “fallacies” in it. Liquor Book Delay Stirs Medical Men Doran Starts Investigation; Whisky Needed to Fight Flu Outbreak. Dr. James M. Doran, prohibition com- missioner, yesterday began an investi- gation of complaints from physicians in the District of Columbia that their to prescribe been applications for blanks liquor to patients had not honored. The prohibition commissioner has not personally received the compleints, but it is understood that a number have been forwarded to the Baltimore headquarters. The physicians were particularly aroused over the delay in receiving their books because of the prevalence of influenza in the city. In some cases the books were not sent promptly be- cause the applicant had failed to send in the stubs of the book previously issued to him. Physicians were able to renew their applications for books December 6. Fall From Auto Truck Is Fatal to Workman Walter Botts, colored, 48 years old, of 101314 Half street northwest, died yesterday afternoon at Freedmen’s Hospital from injuries received earlier in the day, when he fell from the back of an automobile truck at Fifth and Q streets northwest. Botts was working as a helper on the. truck, which is owned by T. [f. Keane Co., of 621 B street northwest, when the accident occurred.

Fowler, District Health Officer, yesterday, mak- ing a total of 219 cases for the month. At the same time public health offi- cials were considering ways and means to combat the possibility of a second and more severe wave of the disease, which already, curing the present epi- demic, has been contracted by more than 150,000 victims, with several thou- gand deaths, in this country. No deaths, however, were reported during the last 24 hours, making the total fatalities for the month stand at 13. Dr. Fowler feels that no alarm should be felt over the increasing num- her of cases reported, since in practi- cally all cases they have been of a mild nature. Dr. Fowler reiterated his warn- ‘ing, however, that the best way to combat the epidemic now sweeping the country is to keep away from all known cases and to build up the body by getting the proper amount of sleep, sunshine and diet. While the program of public health Officials for combating the possibility of.a second epidemic was not com- pleted, Federal authorities indicated they -would seek to add to their al- ready meager knowledge of the dis- ease through further laboratory and ld studies. The percentage of cases ughout the country for the week ended December 15, public health of- ye asserted, was as great as it was g the month of October, 1918, when the disease carried off millions of persons throughout the world.

Retirement Plan Not Costly, Alcorn Declares at Capitol From Fund Soon Chairman of Joint Conference on Dale-Lehlbach Bill Urges Passage at Short Session; Says Interest Will Pay Charges. The Dale-Lehibach bill to liberalize the civil service retirement law would cost the Government nothing in the near future and might never cost it anything, Robert H. Alcorn, chairman of the Joint Conference on Retirement, declared yesterday at the Capitol. ‘Alcorn is working to have~the. bill d before the short session ad- journs March 4. Had it not been for the Republican leaders, who deliber- ately blocked it in the closing. days, the bill would have passed at the last session, for the House was ready to it if it came up. The Senate already had passed it. nuity from $1,000 to $1,200 a year, and aged employes.to retire two years earlier than they now are per- mitted to-retire. Alcorn pointed out yesterday that the initérest on the retirement fund which is being built up by contributions from the employes and from the Government will eventually be so great that it will almost take care of the annuities. Ex- plaining this, he said: The bill increases the retirement an-/ Dr. Alvan H, Thompson, of the Pension Bureau, plus the contributions of the Government in the last session, the most conservative estimate places our fund in 1941 at $537,332,944,: with in- terest at more than $20,000,000 a: year. “This together with more than $30,- 000,000 from -the salaries of the em- _ployes ana nearly $20,000,000 from Gov- ernment contributions would soon build this into a tremendous fund. Dr. Thompson estimates the expendi- tures in the fiscal year of 1941 at less P85 | than $35,000,000 with an income of more than $70,000,000. This does not seem necessary. Our own estimates based on the best figures to date give us ap- proximately $620,000,000 in the fund of July, 1942, with. interest of nearly $25,000,000 annually with no additional appropriations by the Government ex- cept those now in force. “Who can say these estimates are not correct?

GENERAL COMMITTEE IS AGAIN INCREASED James B. Reynolds Accepts Post; Publicity Committee to Meet Thursday. Plans for the inauguration of Her- bert Hoover were given additional im- petus yesterday when President Cool- idge transmitted to Congress a recom- mendation for an appropriation of $45,- 000 to cover expenses of the formal ex- ercises at the Capitol. This brought the total sum being sought to $145,000, the inaugural committee having previ- ously agreed to raise $100,000 to defray expenses of the civic ceremonies. Coolidge’s recommendation was trans- mitted to the House yesterday, and is approximately the same sum usually asked of Congress for inaugurations. The money, when appropriated, will be used for the erection of stands at the Capitol, hiring of extra police and other expenses. As customary, this fund will be disbursed by the joint committee from the House arid Senate, of which Senator Moses is chairman. The other $100,000, which is to be raised by the committee’s subcommittee on finance, under the direction of Robert Fleming, chairman, will be used to meet expenses of decorating the city, erecting review- | ing stands and other activities.

Under the present law, enacted January 30, 1925, the commissioners are not authorized to close streets that have been dedicated or opened even though later developments may demon- Strate that change would be desirable. Scream for Aid Results in Arrest Woman, F reed From Room, Charged With Drinking; Two Men Held. Attracted by feminine screams of “help, murder,” Patrolmen P. F. Pat- rick and G, H. Browning, of the First Precinct, early yesterday invaded 1006 H street northwest and rescued Miss Mildred Brown, 22 years old, who was located in a room in the house, then arresting her. Two men, Irving Zirkle, 23 years old, and Lawrence Fowler, 20, and 27 pints of liquor were found in an adjoining room, the police said, and they were also taken. Failing to answer charges of intoxi- cation and disorder, $15 collateral posted by the young woman was de- clared forfeited in Police Court. Zirkle pleaded not guilty to a charge of pos- sessing liquor and was freed in $500 bail. Fowler was also liberated on $500 bond on a charge of possession, but hearing of the charge was postponed in court yesterday when it was re- ported Fowler was ill. Miss Brown told the policemen she accompanied a man named “Woods” to the H street house and he locked her in the room and left the building. The man, she said, told. her he would return.

Michael Joseph Roman proved him- self the noblest Roman of them yesterday—to all but the police of the Thirteenth Precinct, who held him for further investigation, Preliminary police investigation has Shown that he decided he needed a disguise. So Mr. Roman, a 41-year-old mechanic who lives at 62 Massachusetts avenue northwest, shaved himself un- usually close yesterday morning, dab- bed rouge on his cheeks, splashed his face with powder and put on a wom- an’s dress in place of his working clothes. It was in the Colony Theater, 4935 Georgia avenue northwest, that the stylishly-dressed mechanic first aroused suspicion. His garb might have passed muster except that his feet which, though encased in neat slippers, were a trifle too large to be called dainty. The manager of the theater called the police who whisked Mr. Roman—in no fem- inine fashion—to the precinct station. Negro Academy to Hold Annual Meeting Friday The thirty-second annual meeting of the American Negro Academy was an- nounced last night by Robert A. Pel- ham, corresponding secretary, for Friday in the parlors of the Musolit Club, 1327 R street northwest, when Chief Amoah 3d, of the Gold Coast, Africa, will be the principal speaker. He will discuss the commercial possibilities of West Africa. At the same time:-the Rev. Charles S. Martin will present stereopticon views of Palestine. Arthur A. Schom- burg, of New York, will preside at the sessions of the ceremony. i all |F street Row Out of Danger. Douglas Hog, 40 years old, of 1819 northwest. who early yester- day was found in an unconscious con- dition in the street in frant of 1214 Ward’s court northwest—presumably suffering from injuries received in an altercation—was believed out of dan- ger last night at Emergency Hospital. His skull is not fractured, as was at first believed, ana his recovery is ex- pected. Although Hogg regained conscious- ness yesterday, it was thought that he was still too shocked to be questioned by the police, and the identity of his supposed assailant has not been estab- lished. A colored man and woman are be- ing held for investigation in connec- tion with the case at the Third Pre- cinct Station, but they are said to have denied any knowledge as to how Hogg was injured. An unconfifirmed version given the police was to the effect that Hogg had been hit over the head and thrown out of a house in Ward’s court. He is an employe of the Fuller Con- struction Co. Holdup Men Slug Victim With [ron Pipe Struck over the head with a piece of iron pipe when he resisted two col- ored bandits who held him up as he came out of a house at 323 Missouri avenue northwest, last night, John Weaver, of 337 Missouri avenue, was robbed of $10 and suffered lacerations to his scalp, which, however, are not serious. He was treated at Casualty Hospital by Dr. W. H. Peacock, and later went to his home. Weaver gave the police a description of the colored men. Senator Curtis’ Sister Has Little Time for Inaugural Named to Subcommittee on Legislation of General Group to Arrange for Swearing Him in With Hoover and Accepts Appointment. Although her brother, Senator Charles Curtis, will be inaugurated as Vice President of the United States March 4, Mrs Edward E. Gann, of 3508. Macomb street, does not believe that she will have much time to devote to inauguration preparations. This de- veloped yesterday with announcement that Mrs. Gann had been named a mem- ber of the subcommittee on legislation for the inaugural as well as a member of the general inaugural committee, of which Lieut. Col. U, 8. Grant, 3d. U. S. A., is chairman. . Questioned +if she} had accepted the appointment, Mrs. | ann stated last night that she had, but qualified her statement as follows: “I don’t see how I'll be able to do much work; I really haven't the time to devote to the com- mittee.” Mrs. Gann.does not have any specific inaugural ideas in mind. She went on record as approving “anything Mr. Hoover wants for anything that pleases him. 2 She declined to say anything about herself, but did admit that her dis- tinguished brother resides at her home when in Washington. She also refused to be quoted relative to whether he would continue to live there when he is Vice President, | bill. ee ] WELCH’ SALARY BILL DATA SHOWS MCARL KNOCKED OUT RAloES Intent of Congress Changed by Ruling, Is Claim; For- warded to Lehibach. LATTER WOULD MAKE HIS BILL RETROACTIVE Hopes to Obtain for Employes Money Lost; Budget Bureau Report Awaited. The first batch of data on which a bill to revise the Welch salary act will be based was received at the Capitol yesterday. It was taken there by Gv Moffett, the representative of the Civil Service Commission on the Personnel Classification Board, The data was immediately dispatched to Representative Lehlbach (Republi- can), New Jersey, chairman of the House civil service committee, who pro- poses to draft a new pay bill while’ he 'is at home during the Christmas recess. Eariy last week Chairman Lehlbach called upon the Personnel Classification Board and the Bureau of the Budget to supply him with the information he needed before he could draft the new It is expected that the Bureau of | the Budget will have its information | ready early this week. | again scored | Charles Carrico | Ambrose Preece | Shows Effect of Ruling. The report submitted yesterday by | Moffett is understood to show specific |instances of how the ruling of Comp- troller General McCarl caused hundreds of employes to get more or less than Congress expected they would get when the Welch bill was passed. It also is expected to show instances where em- ployes in the field have been neglected. The report of the Bureau of the Budget will have an important in- fluence on the drafting and the ulti- mate fate of the bill to revise the Welch act, for it will deal primarily with its cost to the Government. Hundreds of employes whom Con- gress thought would get a raise of $120 got only a $60 raise, hundreds of others who were supposed to get $200 got only $100. There were many mofe employes who failed to get their raises for one, two, three or four months after the Welch act went into effect. Cost Will be Shown. The Bureau of the Budget is expect- (ed to show how much it would cost ‘the Government if a retroactive clause were put into the bill that Lehlbach is about to draft, a clause that would give these employes all the money that Congress intended they should get.

Woman Faces Drug And C heck eck Charge ‘Mrs. L. M. Cook, Held in Frauds, Alleged to Have Narcotics in Cuff. Charges of violation of the Harrison narcotic law yesterday were preferred against Mrs. Lynn Marshall Cook, 34- year-old nurse, of Baltimore, Md., who Friday was returned to this city from on a warrant charging false pretenses. The latest charge was ordered made Rakusin, Federal revenue agent | ot Baltimore, following the alleged find- ing of a syringe and a quantity of drugs sewed in a fur cuff of the wom- an’s coat when she was searched Fri- day night by matrons at the House of Detention. Mrs. Cook, who is understood to be the wife of a prominent Baltimorean, is said by the police to have secured approximately $200 worth of merchan- |dise from Washington merchants and paid for them with bad checks. De- tective Sergt. Ira Keck said last night, however, that most of the merchandise has been recovered.

The cruiser bill is now the unfinished legislative business of the Senate, and the Kellogg treaty is the unfinished executive business. The cruiser bill stands in an advantageous position and if it has the support of a majority of senators it can pass in spite of the fili- buster that is coming. No doubt an effort will be made to prevent a vote on the cruiser bill by thrusting in appropri- ation bills and conference reports; but the filibuster can not beat the bill unless the Kellogg treaty is delayed also. A filibuster against the Kellogg treaty could defeat both the treaty and the cruiser bill at this session, but this event is unlikely to occur, as the opponents of the Kellogg treaty are anxious to pass the cruiser bill. Much store is laid by pacifists upon the advantage that would be gained by approving the Kellogg treaty before the cruiser bill is brought to a vote. It may be that several senators will press for a vote on the treaty for the purpose of killing the cruiser bill. If they become too eager in this direction the treaty will have hard sledding and may go into the Hoover administration along with the cruiser bill. The treaty must have a two-thirds vote; therefore a minority can make much trouble for it, and a bare majority can attach reservations. The cruiser bill needs only a majority ; hence a minority can not obstruct it as easily as a treaty can be obstructed. ‘“The assumption that the Kellogg treaty is as good as ratified is not borne out by present conditions in the Senate. It offers opportunity for interminable discussion, particularly when the inter- pretations made by Great Britain and France are considered. These interpre- tations can not be waved aside by the mere assertion that the treaty will be construed hereafter without regard to the understandings expressed by the parties when they adhered to it. The understandings are as much a part of the treaty as if they were in the text. If the understandings are not acceptable, now is the time to ascertain the fact. The scrutiny of the Senate is invalu- able in tha making of treaties. Much as the Kellogg treaty is desired by the American people, it must be admitted that careful examination of an _ inter- national compact is always prudent. If the pact is a pure and simple renuncia- tion of war it will survive any amount of senatorial dissection. If it is a danger- ous commitment, examination will dis- close the fact. In any event the United States must keep its Navy up to the strength required for the national security. The Kellogg treaty encourages peace, but does not insure the Nation against the injuries of war. Whether the treaty becomes effective or not, the American flag will fly on the high seas, and American guns must and will, if necessary, protect the flag. THE AUTOGYRO. Juan de la Cierva’s autogyro has been _ * given a successful test flight over Amer- _- ican soil. When he was abroad last year Harold Pitcairn, airplane manufacturer, _ became interested in the novel machine __ invented by De la Cierva and purchased - y r me, : a ‘; i yoy Ks ae ory ee. 5 * 4 i See etna ta oS URE se ee oe eee : a ‘fe a) Oe en ea Ae! i a ae a j E Daily Only. $8.00 a model with which to experiment in the United States. On Friday it was flown in Philadelphia. The autogyro is neither airplane nor heliocopter. In appearance it resembles a windmill turned on its side. Its fuselage resembles that of the conventional air- plane and to it are affixed stub wings. Extending vertically from its center is a shaft, upon the upper end of which are mounted four blades that revolve hori- zontally in a 25-foot arc. These blades, the so-called windmill, give the machine a lifting power of. approximately two tons. Forward motion is attained by a conventional airplane propeller mounted at. the front of the fuselage. The autogyro possesses two revolution- ary traits. It can rise from a field prac- tically vertically, and it can descend upon a given spot absolutely vertically. De la Cierva has demonstrated to the sat- isfaction of experts that the autogyro is practical, and his flight across the Eng- lish Channel last September testifies to its air-worthiness. Mr. Pitcairn says that the machine is not yet practicable, but that it has so many points of su- periority over existing planes’ that further experiment with it is advisable. Unquestionably, he says, the autogyro is much safer than the airplane. Development of the device will be watched with intense interest by the aeronautical industry. Inasmuch 4as the autogyro demands a greater expenditure of power for the mere purpose of keep- ing itself aloft than does the airplane, it does not seem likely that it will super- sede the conventional design. Since the autogyro, however, needs only a small landing field, it may have an important function to fulfill in serving as a ferry to connect ‘urban centers with the huge flying fields of the future, between which air liners will be routed. “CANCEL OUR DEBTS AND LEND US MORE.” Cautious feelers have been put forth to test public opinion in regard to the flo- tation in this country of an enormous amount of German bonds for the pur- pose of extinguishing reparations and war debts. A committee of experts is to meet soon to’devise a plan for com- mercializing Germany’s obligations to the late allied powers. If the plans now on foot can be worked out, it is proposed to adjust the entire liquidation of the war over a period of about 35 years. During that time Germany will be paying off the bonds about to be issued. The allies will pay part of the proceeds of the bonds to the United States in full pay- ment of their reduced war debts, and the balance will be used for reconstruc- tion of devastated areas, the increase of armaments, &c. The entire operation hinges upon the possibility of inducing the United States to scale down the war debts. Thus, in the long run, Europe proposes to liquidate the war by sad- dling most of the remaining burden upon American taxpayers, who must pay off all the debt contracted by the United States for the purpose of financing the allies during the war and afterward. “And afterward” has a meaning that no American should forget. It is blandly stated by European spokesmen that the United States is morally bound to scale down or cancel the debts, because allied armies stood the brunt of the fighting after America entered the war. “It was a common cause,” they say; “we paid in blood for your delay, and now you de- mand that we should pay back the money we used in fighting for your defense.” A plausible argument, indeed; but it is smashed when the record is examined. The United States lent great sums to the allies after the armistice, when there was no fighting, and when the money was used in part for commercial purposes. These after-the-war loans, with interest, are as follows: | $660,000,000 1,655,000,000 258,000,000 . 800,000,000 The value of the debt agreement made with the various debtors is as follows: $3,297,000,000 1,681,000,000 192,000,000 426,000,000 Thus it will be seen that the United States will receive from each debtor, ex- cept Great Britain, a total repayment amounting to less than the loans made after the war had ended. In effect, the United States is not collecting anything for money loaned during the war, except from Great Britain. Great Britain is more than compensated by collections from the others and from Germany. All the debtors ask that the debts be scaled down or canceled, but not one of them expresses any concern for the American taxpayer, who must pay in full at see 7 all the debt contracted by the United States in behalf of its associates in the war. What will these taxpayers say when Europe asks them to scale down the debts still further, or cancel them altogether? Will the United States Government pro- tect the taxpayers, or will it join in a scheme to stabilize Europe at the Ameri- can taxpayers’ expense? Billions of dol- lars have already been written off the European debt to the United States, but not a dollar of the taxpayers’ obligation to the Treasury has been written off. In- terest rates to European debtors have ‘been reduced or canceled, but American taxpayers are paying in full the, prin- cipal and interest nominated in the Lib- erty.and Victory bonds. If the European nations were striving solely to recuperate and live at peace among themselves the American people would not regret having made conces- sions on the debt; but some of the money that should have come back to America has been devoted to armies, forts, war- snips, and naval bases. Great Britain has made Malta the greatest naval base in the world, and Singapore is becoming another stronghold. The British navy is much stronger than the United States Navy. France has spent huge sums in military preparations, meanwhile ignor- ing its debt to the United States. President Coolidge said in his Armis- tice Day address that Americans did not propose to finance another foreign war. The plans now on foot in Europe con- template a settlement that will be equiva- lent to that. Americans are to be asked to lend addi- tional billions to Europe, on the ground that the billions already borrowed are a crushing load upon Europe. It will be up to President Hoover, if he approves such a scheme, to convince the people that the only manner in which they can make res- titution to Europe for the brutal act of lending it money is to lend it some more. BEAUTY IN AMERICA. Summarizing the artistic achieve- ments of the year, H. W. Kent, secretary of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, pre- dicts that America is on the verge of the most remarkablé development in the his- tory of art. He visions a revolution which will put art on a democratic basis, combining the influence of mass produc- tion in this country with the general growth of culture resulting from univer- sal education. We can no longer rele- gate our artistic expression to the mu- seum, he says, pointing out that the strength of the present movement lies in its sincerity, its lack of artificiality and its directness of purpose. This optimistic view of the art possi- bilities of the New World should be add- ed to many other predictions that America will ultimately gain leadership in both art and literature. There is un- mistakable evidence that an artistic sen- sibility is developing in the United States; and it will not be a covy of Old World estheticism. It will be founded on a new conception of art which will be in keeping with life as it is now lived. Art will be employed to adorn,. not only the interior of chirches, galleries and pala- tial residences, but it will enrich the architecture of cities and will affect the design and decoration of homes. It will be manifest in the building of parks, in statuary, and in the landscaping of high- ways and boulevards. The fact that America: has developed the most advanced economic civilization in the world, yet still lags behind the older nations in the development of art and literature, has brought severe criti- cism from many quarters. But it was necessary to build from the ground up. Poetry, sculpture and painting do not spring from an uncultivated soil. The pioneer must precede the home builder, the merchant and the manufacturer, and all these must be well estab- lished before the fine arts can be expect- ed to appear. America has been a na- -| tion for only a century and a half, and during that time all her energy has been required to push civilization across the continent. Not until the present century has the groundwork been laid for the cpp of life by beauty. onditions are changing now. Wealthy men are beginning to foster literary genius. Patrons of the arts are increas- ing with the extension of higher educa- tion. Machinery is doing the work of the country and the people have more time ‘and inclination to turn their thoughts to beauty. The task of ridding the land of ugli- ness is a tremendous one. But America is undertaking the work with the same spirit in which her pioneers spreat civil- ization from ocean to ocean. Much has already been accomplished in art and ° literature. Out of the new movement, ._~ ~~ "- nd Pee ge, Se ts 9 af f ay er eee a * , 3 2 a - 7 The Early Birds Are on the Wing. ae and the universal encouragement of American pajnting, sculpture and writ- ing, should blossom some of the finest art and literature of all time. STEEL RAILROAD TIES. What may easily prove to be a revolu- tion in railroad construction in Britain has just been inaugurated by the placing of an initial order, on behalf of the South- ern Railway of England, for 70,000 steel ties. Steel ties have been for some time in use in other countries, but the con- servative British railroad magnates have hitherto fought shy of them, and thus the Southern Railway Company becomes in this respect a pioneer. It is calculated that with 70,000 ties, which will require 5,000 tons of steel, 35 miles of track can be equipped over a period of two years. The motive for the change is twofold— practical and patriotic. In the first place, a ton of steel, costing about £11, will make some 14 ties, complete with the “chair,” at a price estimated at 15s. 6d. per tie. The “chair” has at present to be separately fixed to the wooden tie. For the steel tie only the “key” and two small plates will have to be provided. Besides, the price of wooden ties has been steadily increasing, and all the best timber for the purpose has to be imported into Britain. If the life of both classes of ties be as- sumed to be the same, namely, 20 years, the cost of installation, maintenance, and renewal would, at present prices, be about the same; but experience in other coun- tries shows that the steel tie will outlast the timber one. For example, in Ger- many a life of 30 years for the steel tie is estimated. Thus the item of cost would be in favor of the latter. If the price of imported timber were to go up even slightly, as is not unlikely, then the bal- ance of cost would be greatly on the side of the competing material. The patriotic motive is seen in the help that would be given to the British steel industry, if steel ties came into general use and orders for them were placed with British firms, as has been done by the directors of the Southern Railway. The consumption of ties on British railroads is about 4,000,000 every year, and if all the mileage were steel equipped and if the same ratig of consumption were maintained, it would mean orders for some 300,000 tons of British steel an- nually. ely The Southern Railway is not going into this matter blindly. Its directors have for some years been making experi- ments on the London-Portsmouth line, over which the heaviest locomotives and the most up-to-date rolling-stock pass \ 7 daily. The results why satisfied the toe technical experts that the steel tie is equal to the strain. It is by no means improbable that by this new turn of events the British steel] industry may enter on an era of much- needed prosperity. BRITAIN AND THE TARIFF. . That the British government, by in- creasingly applying the safeguarding of industries act, has gone a long way in the direction of the establishment of a general protective policy is a fairly self- evident fact. That it may go farther and set up a universal high tariff law, with, perhaps, some discrimination in favor of certain needed foodstuffs and raw material for manufacturers, is well within the bounds of possibility. At all events, it is receiving some significant encouragement to abandon, either once and for all or as a worth-while tempo- rary experiment, the traditional British doctrine of free trade. At the recent annual luncheon of the Empire Industries Association the prih- cipal speaker: was Lord Melchett. As Sir Alfred Mond and a Liberal, Lord Mel- chett used to be a free trader, but he saw a great light, abandoned free trade, and threw in his lot with the Conservatives. His speech the other day was a reasoned demand for protection. He contended that it is as clear as crystal that, unless the British Empire is speedily welded into some economic whole, there will be a tendency to economic divergence, which must in time undermine the slender bonds that hold the empire together. He maintained that the eyes of Britons must be turned, not to Geneva, but rather to Ottawa and to Sydney. He thought that, if courage enough were forthcoming to put a ring-fence, a tariff wall, around the empire, there would not be one free trader who could oppose such an exten- sion of the free exchange of goods as that plan would involve. In support of his case, Lord Melchett naturally turned to the United States, declaring that the American people had never hesitated to defend their position by means of high tariffs, and he asked if it were possible for Britain to go on without some measure of the same kind. He admitted that he had been a free trader, but he contended that not merely had conditions altered but also that the -whole of British national sentiment had changed. People, he said, no longer be- lieve in cut-throat competition as the salvation of industry. Such sentiments as these, emanating | from one of the great leaders of British industry, are bound to have weight. It | will be interesting to observe the reac- tion of the present Conservative British administration to the overtures thus pub- licly made, especially as considerable _ te Anes Ca ay Te ee ori a eit nee es ~ Oe, Oe 5 tes "2 . numbers of its own thick-and-thin sup- porters are avowedly and enthusiastically in favor of a policy of protection, and have been so for a long time. GOV. ROOSEVELT’S PROGRAM. Governor-elect Roosevelt has set for himself the task of giving New York a scientific administration. In an address before a large group of business men, legislators and ‘politicians he pledged himself to put the State government on an efficiency basis. Mr. Roosevelt prom- ised especially big things in tax read- justments. ‘“‘We have a system of taxa- tion in this State, as in the Federal Gov- ernment,” he said, “‘which has in large part grown up like Topsy. Some ingen- ious legislators, some ingenious governor, or President, would come forward with some new thought. And there has been the matter from time to time of the re- peal of taxes, and that, too, has been the thought of some individual or some small] group pushing it. The result is that our whole system in the United States is a patchwork, a growth rather than a care- - fully thought-out plan. One of the things we shall undertake in the next few years in the State of New York is a study of its business and the whole subject of taxation from a scientific and economic point of view.” | The plan is full of promise, and it will be interesting to see how far the New York Governor-elect can carry it owt without the inevitable interference of political powers. New York has a budg- et of $250,000,000 per year to spend; compared with $40,000,000 less than 20 years ago. The tremendous increase in expenditures has resulted from new de- mands for highways, better and more complete education, research activities, social welfare and hundreds of improve- ments within the communities of the State. Millions have:gone for hospitals and parks. Obviously collection and dis- bursement of funds for these purposes require a maximum of business sagacity and a minimum of political influence. Mr. Roosevelt’s plan to appoint a non- partisan commission of experts to study State taxation should commend itself to other governors. The scheme may not result in reduction of taxation, as the governor-elect hopes, but it may correct inequalities and curtail wastes of the present system. Any movement to place government on an efficiency basis will be welcomed by the people.

They are cooperating with the proper agencies in distributing knowledge to the jwomen and to the owner. of forests and lands just how and which trees should be cut in order not to impair the supply of trees for other years, and to prevent a wood shortage. The jwomen have informed themselves on what the experts on this subject re- @ard wasteful cutting of trees and the mecessary steps to preserve them.

Approved by Coolidge. The official stamp of approval was placed on the living community tree | by President Coolidge, Christmas 1924, when he dedicated the community tree in the park back of the White House. This tree was a Norway spruce donated by Miss Smith. Many of the local women’s clubs having grounds, especially those in the suburbs, have planted Yule trees in their gardens and make alittle bit of Christmas for those who pass by decorating them. Many women in Washington at Christmas time have no home but their club or organization home to celebrate their Christmas in, sO many of the Washington women are giving Christmas teas in their homes or as- sisting at those at the club head- quarters.

There are many rumors around the organization head- | quarters that real recognition will be given to women and some woman will be given an assistant secretaryship or perhaps a secrétaryship. The wish expressed in a recent speech in Lexington, Ky., by Ruth Hana Mc- Cormick, the newly elected representa- tive at large from. Illinois, that the women who have done good work in the Government bureaus will be pro- moted and that a woman Assistant Secretary of Agriculture will be ap- pointed has pleased the large follow- ing of women Mrs. McCormick has in Washington as well as women leaders all over the country. It is pointed out that the Department of Agriculture through its home extension division and other bureaus has taken a special Interest in matters which affect the American woman and the American home and has beén most useful not only to the women on the farms but in the cities as well. Aiding Cause of Women. The American Association of Uni- versity Women is sponsoring a national program for the development of new business and professional activities for women through surveys and the estab- lishment of a clearing house for in- formation on the entrance of women into various fields. This work will be done in cooperation with the Institute of Women's Professional: Relations, which has just been established at the University of North Carolina. The women will cooperate with the various businesses and professions in working out facts on necessary train- ing and plans for training and edu- cation necessary for women who wish to enter these fields. They will also make a study of better adjustments between the home and woman's busi- mess and professional interests. This is in line with the determined efforts being made by the General Fed- eration of Women’s Clubs with the as- Sistance of other organizations to have home making, the daily duties of wife and mother and housewife, listed as a profession or at least an occupation in the census lists of the United States.

OWEN. the National Capital, where so many na- tions are represented, the Christmas sea- son is a time when the members of the Dip- lomatic Corps take special opportunity of sending greetings to each other and the spirit of Christmas is felt on all sides. In spite of the many social functions of the past week, every one seems to have taken time to join in the usual rush of Christmas shopping and the shops have rivaled after- noon teas lately as meeting places for society. This will be the seventh Christmas that President and Mrs. Coolidge have been in Washington, and, as in former years, they have been showered with presents from all parts of the country. It must be hard for them, however, not to have their son, Mr. John C. Coolidge, with them for the holidays, but as he is working this year, his vacation is probably too short for him to take the trip to Washington. He will doubtless pass Christmas day with the family of Gov. John H. Trumbull in Hartford, Conn. aS od w x HE last Cabinet dinner was on Tuesday T night, when the Secretary of War, Mr. Dwight F. Davis, entertained in honor of the President and Mrs. Coolidge. As Mrs. Davis was ill at the time, her daughter, Miss Alice Davis, acted as hostess. Mrs. Coolidge left the following day to visit her mother, Mrs. Lemira Goodhue, at Northampton, Mass., but she is expected to join the President for Christmas. Following the usual custom, President ana Mrs. Coolidge expect to be present at the community tree tomorrow night and after- ward to hear the Christmas carols sung at the White House. On Christmas morning it is always Mrs. Coolidge’s custom to help the Salvation Army distribute toys, food and other gifts to needy families, so she is con- sidered by many in'the city as ‘“‘Lady Bounti- ful.”’ The Vice President and Mrs. Dawes already have gone to their home at Evanston, IIl., where they will remain for’the holidays. ™ + ” y AST Sunday began a busy week, socially, ‘in Washington. The Chief Justice and Mrs. William Howard Taft were the honor guests at a luncheon that day, when their hosts were Judge and Mrs. Samuel J. Graham. In the evening there were several enter- tainments. The Ambassador of Turkey, Alfimed Mouhtar Bey; the Minister of Persia, Mirza Davoud Khan Meftah, and the Second Secretary of the Persian Legation, Prince Firouz, were entertained at a buffet supper by Maj. and Mrs. Walter Evan Prosser, when there were 42 guests. Dinners were given by the Charge d’Affaires of the Legation of Salvador and Senora de Leiva for the new American Minister to their country, Mr. Warren Delano Robbins, and Mrs. Robbins; by Representative and Mrs. Fred A. Britten for Senator and Mrs. Charles S. Deneen, and by Representative and Mrs. Sol Bloom for the retiring Counselor of the Legation of Czechoslovakia and Mme. Lipa, who will sail Friday for France. Monday was an especially gay night, when there were dinners at three embassies. At the dinner at the Italian Embassy two other ambassadors and their wives were present, the Ambassador of France and Mme. Claudel and the Ambassador of Japan and Mme. Debuchi. Then the Ambasador of Brazil, Mr. _ §. Gurgel do Amaral, entertained that night ee ‘THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY, settlers enema command ac ae mao ne one o nak Sockies.

McNary, Admiral and Mrs. Charles F. Hughes, and Mrs. Henry F. Di- mock, whose guests of honor were the Am- bassador of Belgium and Princess de Ligne. Tuesday afternoon was marked by a bril- liant reception given by the Vice President and Mrs. Charles G. Dawes for the delegates to the International Conference on Arbitra- tion. Their guests had also an opportunity of meeting the wives of the Cabinet officers and one wife of a former member of the Cabinet, Mrs. Charles Evans Hughes, has many friends here, who That evening society was well represented at the concert of Latin-American music by the United Service Orchestra and assisting artists. This was given by the Director Gen- eral of the Pan-American’ Union, Dr. Leo 8S. Rowe, in honor of the delegates to the Pan- American Conference on Arbitration and Con- ciliation, and was largely attended by the Dip- lomatic Corps, The delegates to the arbitration confer- ence, who have had numerous functions in Washington, had several more entertainments given in their honor lately. Ambassador Morrow was their host at a luncheon Wednes- day, the Minister of Panama and Mme. Alfaro entertained at dinner for them that evening, and on Friday there was an afternoun recep- tion in their honor, given by the Minister of Guatemala and Senora de Recinos, who were assisted by the ladies of the staff of the lega- tion. Today the Minister of Colombia, Dr. Enrique Olaya, will be their luncheon host. ac sa cs % S OCIETY was well represented at the Junior League benefit Wednesday night. This year that popular organization gave a cireus and it proved a big success. These entertainments of the Junior League not only help a worthy cause, but show much tal- ent by the younger generation of Washing- ton. Most of the dinners that evening pre- ceded the circus, so the Washington Audi- torium was a gay scene. Retiring diplomats are always much en- tertained before they leave the country and there have been so mary changes in the corps that a great many of the social activities have been in their honor. On Thursday night the dean of the.corps,.Sir Esme and Lady Isa- bella Howard were dinner hosts for the re- tiring Minister of the Irish [ree State, Mr. Timothy A. Smiddy, who went yesterday tu New York to sail January 4. The Ambassador of Peru, Dr. Hernan Ve- larde, was the ranking guest at another din- ner Thursday night, given by the Minisier of the Dominican Republic and Senora Ge Morales.

Debuchi were the honor guests at a : HAMUS EWING dinner given by Senator and Mrs. Wilder Keyes, Heuryv * a i * RIDAY night the Ambassador of Ger- F many and Frau von Prittwitz were again dinner hosts. Later in the evening society was well represented at a ball given by Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Hubbard for Miss Carolyn Huston Thompson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Huston Thompson, at the Mayflower. This was attended by a number of out-of-town guests. ie *. — “ (: HRISTMAS will be celebrated by two large balls.

Market for Dolls’ Clothes, Most of the designers of modish cos- tumes here and overseas make a limited number of costumes complete in every detail for dolls, for which they find an eager and ready market. Some women like to have their dolis dressed to match the costume of the hour or the occasion of their own. In other centuries one of the cour- tesies between queens was the exchang- the countries, In the most elegant Style possible. Many times, as an added compliment, the dollmakers would mold the face and figure of the doll—usually of wax—-to resemble that of either the sender or the receiver of these dolls. History indicates that hundreds of these puppets made jour- neys from one country to another carried by special couriers, in coach or on horseback, often undergoing many adventures on the journey. Just as the women of today scan the fashion pages of the magazines and CONTINUED ON PAGE 7, COLUMN 2, ing of dolls dressed in the fashion of ton, for the holidays. ~ a Miss Margaret Reese, of the faculty of Rosemary Junior School, Greenwich Conn., will pass the holidays with her. parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Miller Reese, and will have as her house guest, Miss Agnes Veech, of Louisville, Ky.

CORCORAN ART GALLERY HAS CHASE EXHIBIT By ADA RAINEY. T= holiday season in art was ush- ered in at the Corcoran Gallery yesterday when a group of paint- ings was placed on view in the upper hall. The paintings are by Susan B. Chase and are in transparent water color and in gouache. They. are the result of a summer's work in Portugal and are as unusual in quality as is the subject matter. ’ Mrs. Chase, who tis the secretary of the Washington Water Color Club, which is holding its annual exhibition at the Corcoran on January 6, went to Portugal with the sketching class of Henry B. Snell. The group landed in Lisbon and went immediately to Cintra where they made most of their sketches They were delighted with the quaint- hess and charm of the little town, which is about an hour’s run from Lisbon, high up in the mountains. The artist has been most successful iri catching the brilliant sunlight and the vibration of color of the southern town in her water colors. She has caught the unique quality of the place and has added a youthful touch, bril- ant and impelling. This is by far the best work that Mrs. Chase has pro- duced, and she has gone ahead with her art by leaps and bounds. She has the modern touch of vitality and the sound construction and the reason- @bleness of the best in the traditional manner of painting. In short, she gives a vivid and vital impression of pic- turesque and interesting scenes . There are a number of large water colors, street scenes and characteristic buildings that stand cut from others. Of these “The Square at Cintra,’ “One of Cintra’s Streets,” “Military Alley, Cintra,” “St. Martino” and “The Palace of Queen Maria Pia” are among the most important. The color in these paintings is rich and harmonious, the light playing on the surfaces of the old buildings is striking and brilliant. “Then there are some landscapes more informal, but which have the vital touch nevertheless. “Among the Pines ot Portugal” and “Just Trees” are de- lightful. There is someway the holiday spirit in these water colors, perhaps be- Gause they are joyous and free, al- though they have in them nothing of the subject matter df the season. They will be on view until January 6. Yorke Gallery Exhibition. At the Yorke Gallery beginning to- morrow there will be placed on exhibi- tion water colors by a group of painters that are well known in the art world, which includes such men as Arthur B. Davies, Child Hassam, Gifford Beale, Charles E, Prendergast, Maurice Brown, Gordon Grant, Robert Hollowell, Hay- ley Lever and Elizabeth Price. Arthur B. Davies, who heads the list, exhibited three paintings in the recent Diennial exhibition at the Corcoran. One of his paintings was bought by the Corcoran Gallery, a landscape of the hills of Italy. Interest wil! be further increased when it’‘is brought to mind that the past week brought to notice the death of this brilllant artist in northern Italy, where he had been living for two years. Davies was one of the most important American artists who has recently come into increasing prominence, and his paintings have become valued as understanding of his work has been brought about. For years he was not understood and was rather scoffed at because his works were not of the representative and pho- tographic variety which can be seen at @ glance. But his was that choice and rar. art which has in it a true poetic quality. He lived in a world of dreams, which was to him the real world and he peopled his world with lovely forms that were allegorical and enchanting. There are anumber of his paintings in the Phillips Memorial Gallery. Mr. Phillips has written a monograph on Davies’ paintings. Child Hassam, also a _ well-known man, is represented in the present group, by two of his well-known New York street scenes. One is called “The Fourth of July.” Gifford Beale is show- ing “Docks at Rockport;” Gordon Grant, the “Frisco Tug;” Robert Hallo- well, “Ponte Vecchio,” and Elizabeth Price, who has a strong decorative qual- ity in her paintings, “Quimper,” which is a street scene. There are also a number of etchings, including works by Alfred Hutty and George Taylor Arms. The exhibition will be on view until January 5. At Arts Club. At the Arts Club, beginning this aft- ernoon, there will be an exhibition by the commercial artists in the ctiy, in- cluding those of The Post. To this group will be added three or four landscape artists, who will show models of their work in plaster and the drawings of their gardens. This should be stimulating to those who are interested in planting gardens; and who does not want to have a garden these days, when the country is so ac- cessible? The work of John Small, Horace Peaselee, Rose Greely and Mr. Eaton will be represented. The commercial illustrators will be represented by Charles A. R. Dunn, of the Nation’s Business, who assembled the exhibits; Felix Mahoney, Mar- guerite B. Neale, Rochan Hoover and staff. Clifford K. Berryman will have several original cartoons, while John A. Curtis, Newman S. Sudduth, James T. Berry- man and William Edwards will show pen-and-ink and wash drawings. Louis Janof, J. D. Irwin and Iris Johnson, of The Post, will show water colors, black and white wash drawings end pen and ink drawings which have @ppeared in The Post and in the Ad- vertisers Art Studio. The exhibition is the outcome of the activity of the chairman, Anne Abbott, who has a large number of original and interesting ideas which add zest and tang to the current exhibitions at the Arts Clubs. The exhibitions at the club this year have been unusual, vital and “different.” A number of sales were made of the etching: at the past exhibition of the club, !ncluding those of Alfred Hutty and Morgan Dennis. This afternoon Felix Mahony and Miss Aline Solomans will be hosts for the opening of the exhibition at the tea, which will take on the festival air of the season. Preparing for Ball. The Abbott School of Fine and Com- mercial Art is doing all the research work for the costumes fo: the Bal Boheme, which is to be Egyptian in design.

How the artist is able to con- vey his feeling or mood to the spectator is what one should seek first of all. The lecture was illustrated by lan- tern slides of well-known paintings. The difference was emphasized between the really artistic painting that seeks for beauty and the mere photograph which gives a view instead of presenting a unified whole in a subject. Mr. Baliley’s presentation was rather elementary and was helpful to the au- dience especially to those who have had no pravious training in esthetic ap- preciation.

At! present he is director of art in the! Cleveland public schools. Miner School Display. At the Miner Normal School an ex- hibition of paintings by Laura Wheeler Waring was on view last week. Mrs. Waring’s work is remarkably good. She has landscapes and portraits. The por- traits are well constructed and the drawing is exceptionally well done. There is an excellent use of color in these portraits, which is managed skill- fully. Most of the portraits are girls and children, and the .painter shows much sympathetic interpretation of character. She received the William | Harmon award in 1927, which is| given for distinguished achievement among negroes in various fields of en- deavor, for the portrait of Anna Wash- ington Derry. The portrait is a fine characterization of the former slave girl, who is por- trayed as an old woman, cheerful and serene. The drawing in this is ex- ceptional. Other good portraits are of two little boys, “Dorothy,” “Two Girls” and a “Portrait Study,” which shows excellent use of the background har- monizing with the figure. Many of the landscapes were done in France and show good construction and color. Mrs. Waring is a member of the fac- ulty of the Cheyney State Normal School, Cheyney, Pa., where she holds the position of director of art. She has studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Art, where she won the Cresson traveling scholarship, which enabled her to continue her studies in Eurpoe, where she studid with Boutet de Mon- vel, She has made a second trp abroad and has painted in northern Africa and France. A large number of the paint- ings have been sold, They have also been exhibited at International House, New York, in an exhibition of negro art. Her work is outstanding in her race, as there are few who can com- pare with her in her achievement. Russian Paintings Coming. An exhibition of Russian paintings, all produced since the revolution, is on its way to New York where it is sched- uled to open about the first of Feb- ruary. A million dollars, according to a Soviet spokesman, is a small estimate to be placed on the works, which con- sist of paintings, sculptures and draw- ings. A similar exhibit has been shown in Tokyo, Buenos Aires and other cities, and has met with cordial re- ception. A great effort is being made by the Soviet art and commercial organs to obtain American interest in this ex- hibit to the end of bringing about “culture rapprochements” between the two countries. It is the great de- sire to stimulate Soviet-American re- lations following the recent contracts with the General Motors and the Radio Corporation of America and other com- mercial groups. — se - ~ + That the beginning of the year 1929 finds America on the verge of the most remarkable and most promising de- velopment in the history of art, is the asservation made by H.

It is a “mass production” art which Mr. Kent sees. “Through the econo- mies of mass production and distribu- tion we have the capacity to put art on the democratic basis where it be- longs. And aiding in this tendency are art coming into the increases in leisure time and in average income, as well as the growing | culture which is resulting from empha- sis on universal education. “Art in the form of good design for articles of general use the market place where i{t can not) be ignored.

BOOKS NEW TALES OF NATIVITY MANY, BUT BIBLE STORIES ARE STILL UNMATCHABLE By ELISABETH E. POE. The Christmas story has been the fa- vorite theme of author and bard since the first Christian century. This yule- tide is no exception to the general rule. Publishers’ presses have worked overtime bringing out new variations in the Nativity story. Yet, it must be confessed, the master writers on this theme are St. Matthew and St. Luke, whose beautiful and simple narratives of this happening in ancient Judea remain the surpassing literary recitals of the historic event. These Scripture stories possess the charm of the classic because of their ap- peal to all kinds and conditions of men. Take, for instance, St. Matthew, the first chapter at the eighteenth verse, where he tells in about 225 compact and me- ticulously chosen words the whole story of the birth of Christ. A modern ‘vriter would have devoted at least a column to it, but St. Matthew found fewer than 250 words all sufficient for this task. Washington is to be congratulated that a special building is to be built adjacent the Library of Congress to house the priceless Shakespeare folios, the collection and the gift to the Amer- ican people of H. C. Folger. This ac- tion will discredit the contention re- cently in England that the acquiring of literary treasures by rich Americans means “their relegation to oblivion.” On the contrary, every effort is being made by the officials of the Library of Congress not only to carefully preserve such literary collections but to exhibit them to the people as fully as possible. That this policy 1: appreciated is shown by the fact that upward of a quarter of a million persons yearly visit the marble shrine on the main floor of the Library of Congress, where are dis- played the original Declaration of In- dependence and the Constitution of the United States. Latin-American Pens Busy. Just now the spotlight is turned on South America, due to the visit of a certain distinguished North American to those parts, It is recalled that there has been a renaissance of literature in many Pan-American nations, particu- larly in Mexico where revolutions have not halted the brilliant pens of realis- novelists while there is a decided literary movement in Argentina which has resulted in the publications of many important books there. It Is pleasant to read that the United States has taken the lead in countries in furnishing important technical, scientific and educational books, thus opening a new and fasci- nating field for American authors. Norway has found a “Jack London” among her writers in Lars Hansen, whose new offering, “A Son of the Sea,” is being much praised by Norwegian and foreign critics alike.

It is doubtful if any modern English author is more widely read in foreign countries than John Galsworthy. His William Lyon Phelps on Making Christmas Last I suppose it is almost sacrilegious to say that it is not necessary for children to believe in Santa Claus. I am well aware of the famous editorial years ago in the New York Sun, written in answer to the query of a child. Yet so far as I can remember, Santa Claus was never mentioned in our household, nor did 1 ever hear of him until in reading books and magazines I found frequent mention of his name; by that time I could not in any event have taken him seriously. But I am certain that no child under any circumstances had a happler Christ- mas than mine. About four weeks ahead of the great day, I began to be- come excited; all the time, no matter how much I may have been engaged in other things, there was a warm glow in the center of my being that kept me in high spirits. By Christmas Eve, this had become a monstrous, almost unbearable joy. Father and mother on that fateful evening were doing all sorts of queer things in a certain room; there was the sound of mysterious packages, of wrapping paper; and I was sent to bed long before they had completed their preparations. My brothers and 1 thought it would be quite impossible to get a wink of sleep; we planned to lie awake all night in the delirious rapture of expectation. But as we were healthy boys and had spent the whole day out- doors, sleep invariably mastered us. We woke up early, too early; there was “nothing doing.” Father and mother refused to get up; refused to allow us to enter the secret room, which was firmly closed under lock and key, until after breakfast. This was not cruelty on their part; it was a delicious tantalizing, which made the climax all the more dramatic. Finally we sat down to breakfast, and it seemed as if our parents deliberately Fletcherized every morsel of food. We were not in the least hungry, but we were forced to wait. Then, when breakfast was finally over, came the ritual of family prayers, something never on any account omit- ted or scamped. It always seemed on Christmas morning as if an unusually long chapter were selected, and as if father’s prayers were unnecessarily crowded with details. Ah, then! We lined up in a proces- sion, in single file, and advanced on the fortress singing a song of triumph; there was much ‘usiness unlocking the door; the key would not fit; there was always delay. Finally the door swung open and we entered into Heaven. If the veritable Paradise is as satisfactory as this earthly one was, I shall not have even the faintest tinge of disappointment. We saw five tables, one for each member of e family. Every table was loaded with presents, and often s can not remember a single Christmas that did not more than fulfill our highest expectations. You see we need- ed no Santa Claus, no supernatural saint of any kind; father and mother were 100 per cent angels. And now comes something that will surprise many of my readers. It is far better to give the children presents after breakfast than at the break of dawn Keep up thelr expectations as long as possible, so that the delight will not too soon or too early in the day be over. But while this is true psychology, I am thinking of something even better. When I was a boy I remember seeing a picture in three parts, called, respec- tively, “Christmas Eve,” “Christmas Morning,” “Christmas Afternoon.” In the first, a small boy was happily ex- pectant; in the second, he was bliiss- fully examining his gifts; in the third, weary, tired, cross, and disillusioned, he sat among his toys, some of them already broken; and along with the in- evitable reaction came the thought, “A whole year before another Christ- mas!” How did our parents, as wise as they were good, provide first against the disillusion, and, what was more important, against the reaction? In our house, we celebrated New Year's Day in exactly the same manner as Christmas, All the boys in the neighborhood envied us. They found such a thing almost unbelievable. But it was liter- ally true. The same secret prepara- tions, the same locked door, the same expectancy, and exactly the same pro- fusion of gifts. New Year’s Day never fell below Christmas either in quantity or in quality. Thus, our joy all day long on Christmas was heightened by the fact that a similar delight was coming in one week. I recommend this customr to dll pa- rents. Christmas is primarily a day for children; it is their day, and it should be remembered happily as long as they live. No father and mother can make a better investment than giving pres- ents to their children; and the surest method to provide against any dis- illusion or setback is to have another celebration a week later. How well I can see and hear my mother, as, after the last package had been opened on Christmas morning, she invariably said, “Remember, New Year's is coming!"

Prof. Phillips’ prize-winning manu- script, a history of the South, will be published next May under the title of “Life and Labor in the Old South.” Pamela Grey, Viscountess of Fallodon, who recently died in London, had been heard to say that all her life she had devoured books, reading without scheme or purpose everything that came her way. What she did not say was that she evidently read with a keen appre- clation for beauty and a praiseworthy habit of copying bits which seemed to her worth treasuring. These she col- lected in “The White Wallet,” a per- sonal anthology, full of surprises, de- lightful and interesting.

Washington has learned to expect de- lightful things from the versatile pen of Isabel Anderson (Mrs. Larz Ander- scn) @ social as well @s literary celib- rity of the National Capital. “Circling South America,” by Isabel Anderson (Marshall Jones Co., Boston), is bound to win a lar audience here where pleasant memories are cherished of Mrs. Anderson’s previous books. In the first place, the book is a triumph of typographical art and its many illustrations enhance its value. Mrs. Anderson approaches her subject from the sure point of view of the ex- perienced world traveler who has ac- quired the not easy art of knowing just what to see and explore in other lands. It is this fascination that will endear this book of travels to her readers. The last 25 years has seen a new and most desirable revival of interest in our sister republics of the western hemisphere. Such authoritative volumes as that of Mrs. Anderson will do much to develop this trend in the right direc- tion.

This book on the exploits of the war birds in the World War will appeal to the young boy or girl who takes a Sserl- Ous interest in aviation. The stories take the reader through the scenes when the British officers and the American officers met On a common ground to win the war and soared above in. machines which bore little resem- blance to the type of planes used today. Fighting in the air, scouting and two men who didn’t like life in a German prison camp and escaped to Holland at the risk of being shot as spies, make this book particularly readable. THE BOYS’ LIFE OF THE WRIGHT BROTHERS. By Mitchell V. Charnley. (Harper & Bros., New York.) Adventure and achievement mark the history of two boys who as young men became known the world over as pio- neers in conquering the air. This is:a book for every boy or girl who dreams of future achievement and for the boys and girls who like to read about the exploits of the ambitious. These two boys, slow of speech and retiring and modest, struggled against all obstacles to make their dream come true. Early in their lives they showed their inventive genius by building a crude printing press in the kitchen of a neighbor’s house. Then they made their own bicycle. They experimented with man-carrying kites. It is a cour- ageous story, this story of Orville and Wilbur Wright, and graphically told. It was a brave deed every day when they embarked into the misty skies on the unsubstantial looking structures they had built to fly. But fly they did. They kept on flying and, what. is more, progressed and still led with the rapid development of aviation until there but they were both happy, they en- joyed life. I am also inclined to believe, that I, in common with millions of other chil- dren, owe an incalculable debt to Charles Dickens, blessed be his name! Father and mother read him constant- ly.

AMERICA’S PART. By Brig. Gen. Henry J. Reilly, O. R. C. (Cosmopolitan Co., New York.) This is a splendid presentation of America’s part of the World War, writ- ten by a soldier with a family military tradition and a distinguished record of his own, both as writer and fighter. Gen. Reilly points out that, as was the case in the Civil War, the smoke of battle had to clear away before we could get the facts and a true perspec- tive of the conflict. ORLANDO. By Virginia Woolf. (Har- court Brace & Co., New York.) While this talented member of the London Bloombury group has classed her book as a “biography” we are led to believe that it is pure fiction. Mrs. Woolf has created a character who begins as an Elizabethan noble- man and ends as a twentieth century lady. Orlando is first seen growing up in the family castle in the days of Queen Elizabeth and as a favorite at her court.. But in the reincarnated heroine at the age of 36 in the year 1928 the writer has cleverly depicted many of the characteristics of the Elizabethan youth. The book ends there, leaving much to the imagination of the reader but giving a finished product nevertheless. Wit and humor, pathos, human ideals and human weakness and the likeness and lack of likeness between the mas- culine and feminine is most entertain- ingly portrayed. The book abounds in witty and subtle comments on life and literature. FROM NOW TO ADAM.. By J. Brett Langstaff. (Harper & Brothers, New York.) A series of Bible stories told in a way, to interest the young in some of the characters in the sacred history. It does not by any means cover all the Bible heroes, but. beginning with Adam in the Garden of Eden, it runs along through Cain slaying Abel, Noah and the Ark, Elijah and Elisha, down to Jonah and the Whale. As is cus- tomary with Bible writers and with preachers, one incident is wrongly illustrated. Elijah is taken up to heaven in a fiery chariot, which is not what the Bible says.

This is a historical romance, based on the mingling of the Spanish, the Creoles of New Orleans, and the early American pioneer trader.

From Havana the scene shifts to Panama, reached through plrate seas. Mrs. Anderson, with her traditions of the sea coming of a noted naval line of ancestry, stops her narrative to discourse on famous pirates of yesterday in an entertaining manner.

E. E. P. TWO QUEENS’ LIFE STORIES ARE PENNED Out of the stack of biographies which crowd the reviewer's desk at this season of the book year, two life stories O: queens stand out in relief against the back- ground § of literary characters, world figures and celebrities of the sterner sex. Strangely enough in the titles of both of these books the word “tragic” appears, recalling to mind the truism that queens as well as kings “must play a weary part.” Contrary to popular belief, the bed of royalty is not often one of roses, and the ermine and scepter has hidden many an ach- ing heart. The time and country in Which the queen ruled does not seem to have made much difference. For “Elizabeth and Essex.” master biagrapher, Lytton Strachey (Harcourt, Brace & Co., New York), and “The Tragic Empress,’ by Maurice Paleologue (Harber & Brothers, New York), were written of women who ruled over empires at two different periods of world history, but strangely akin in the sorrow which came to them from their high positions. Mr. Strachey has confined his book to the later years of the great queen’s life. It is a new Elizabeth Strachey re- veals to our eager eyes. Not a queen, although seldom out of her queenly by that role, but a loving woman, lonely with | the dread loneliness of power, vacillat- ing as women often are, and torn be- tween unquestioned love and righteous anger for the one who has been to her most dear. On: of England’s brilliant courtiers, | Robert, Earl of Essex, plays opposite Elizabeth in Strachey’s moving drama as hero-villain. Just which he was 1s hard truly to determine at this dls- tance, but so far as it can be dis- tinguished Mr. Strachey has done s0 in satisfactory form. The book leaves us tn no doubt as to one point. Elizabeth really had an abiding affection for Robert, Earl of Essex. But she was a great statesman and a true patriot. And when Eng- land’s good conflicted with the dic- | tates of her own heart, her emotions | had to be suppressed for the sake of the State. It was that force which drove her trembling fingers to sign the death warrant for Essex, it was the failure of her womanly love When staked against the ruler that finally led him to deach. And one can not but feel that that must have been the real surprise in the whole affair for Essex. With all of masculine arrogance he trusted to his powers of persuasion and fascination to save him. But, my lord, Elizabeth was no ordinary woman. There is where you made your great mistake. She had her father’s spirit in her as well as Anne Boleyn’s and it stood her in good stead during those terrible days after she had condemned Essex until that hour on February 25, 1601, when life ended for the man who had wooed a queen, and who lives in history thereby as a romantic, tragic, warning figure not to put too much faith in prin- cesses—or princes. Mr. Strachey has“put us all in his debt by his vivid picture of this great ruler. He has added to his already con- siderable fame and made a valuable contribution to the literature of this queen and her age. We turn to the nineteenth century for the other tragic story of a queen. M. Paleologue has as his subject the late Empress Eugenie of France. When this noble woman died in 1920, the world awakened anew to a knowl- edge of the heavy sorrows she had borne with such dignity and quietness and without complaint. It was ru- mored at that time that she had left alu autoblography. Later it was an- nounced that this was not true. Great disappointment ensued which has been assuaged by the recent publication of M." Paleologue’s book. His volume is based on a series of intimate talks with the Empress Eugenie. It seems that her husband had forbidden her to write memoirs. Womanlike, she cast about for a means of telling her story to the world—after her death, without breaking her word to her husband, She found it in her conversations with the historian and fully authorized him to write it for posterity after she had de- parted this life. The author has fulfilled this trust, it would seem, to his readers, with meticulous care. He is most chary about drawing conclusions without ample historical basis. The friendship between Queen Vic- toria and the former empress is re- lated in great detail and sheds credit on the stories of both royal women. Much light was given by her to the historian on disputed passages in the history of her husband’s reign, and she skillfully sketched the background of the World War and showed that it was in the making years before it came. When the end of her earthly sorrows came in her ninety-fifth year, hav- ing outlived all that she loved, M. Paleologue felt a solemn obligation that “history should take into account all that she told me, in terms of such |. consistent nobility, for the clearing of her conscience and the solace of her soul.” E.

Rosetti, Shakespeare, Swinburne, Keats and Charles Tennyson were masters of its use. In this generation, in the United States, at least, there are few poets who handle this verse form adequately. For that reason, if for none other, the volume of “Sonnets,” by Edwin Arlington Robinson (The MacMillan Co., New York), is all the more wel- come. Mr, Robinson is an adept in the fine art of packing a vivid drama mto fourteen lines. In effect, he says to his : “It can not be done? Well, here Louis Undermeyer, hi...self a poet of no small ability, in reviewing Mr. Rob- inson’s new volume, said of it: “Some of Robinson’s sonnets are barbed satires; a few have almost the quality of meditative lyrics.” His verdict is justified by a perusal of the evidence. He might have added that irony, the twin brother of satire, could be found also in the poet’s anew product. For instance, its trace is in Sheaves:” “Where lang the shadows of the wind had rolled, Green wheat was ylelding to the change assigned; And as by some vast magic undivined The world was turning slowly into gold. Like nothing that was ever bought or sold It waited there, the body and the mind; And with a mighty meaning of a kind That tells the more the more it ig not told. “The |“*So, in a land where all days are not fair, | Fair days went on till on another day |A thousand golden sheaves were lying there, Shining and still, but not for long to stay— As if a thousand girls with golden hair Might rise from where they slept and go away.” There is a grim humor in his work now and then as in the sonnet on “New England.” Whether it is a true plic- ture of the Puritan of 1928, however, well it might have fitted the earliest |of the Pilgrim Fathers we will leave to | the Boston Transcript or the. Spring- field Republican to challenge while itheir Southern contemporaries rejoice |in what appears to be an apt descrip- tion of the country northeast of New York City. Here is the sonnet to “New England:” “Here where the wind is always north- north east And children learn to walk on frozen toes, Wonder begets an envy of all those Who boil elsewhere with such a lyric yeast Of love that you will hear them at a feast | Where demons would appeal for some repose, Still clamoring where the chalice over- fiows And crying wildest who have drunk the least. “Passion is here a soilure of the wits, We're told, and love a cross for them to bear; Joy shivers in the corner where she knits And conscience always has the rocking- chair, Cheerful as when she torttired into fits The first cat that was ever killed by Care.” This poet can strike a tenderer note when he will. Like a true bard, he finds a theme congenial to his pen when he is in a gentle mood. E. P. Every Book of | New and Popular FICTION You read them only once!

* LEAGUE OF WOMEN ND TO DEFENDERS Club Supported in Capital for Soldiers, Sailors and Marines. DATES FROM CIVIL WAR To clear up somewhat general con- fusion regarding the scope of activities of the four service organizations—the Navy League, the Navy Relief, the Army Relief and the Woman’s Army and ! Navy League—the last named yesterday issued an announcement of its purposes and aims. The Woman’s Army and Navy League, the announcement says, promotes the general welfare and renders financial and other assistance to soldiers, sailors and marines of the United States and their families. It was founded during the Civil War, by a few patriotic women, who, realiz- ing the limitations of soldiers at far away posts, organized themselves into a small society to create an atmosphere of contentment and happiness, to shorten the lonely hours in barracks and to relieve the boredom of distant stations. Indeed, the suttler’s store Was then the only resort of soldiers. These women then, as they do now, cooperated with the commanding offi- eters and the chaplains in cheering and comfortnig the men with books and music. They aided in church services, and, as our industrial life changed, the Woman's Army and Navy League grew with the times, adding graphophones and records to their cheer for soldiers, Sailors and marines. Magazines, writing materials and games were added to the amusements, and, with vision, a Soldiers, Sailors and Marines Club became an especial ac- tivity of the league. Located at 1015 L street northwest, this is the only club of its kind itn the city. Here the men of the service find a comfortable and attractive home dur- ing their stay in the Capital; tn fact, in addition to transients, there is a~lim- ite“ number of permanent boarders. The home is equipped with billiard tables, reading and writing rooms, well- ' kept bedroom and dining rooms—one dying marine even willing his last pay roll to endow a room in the club, in token of his appreciation of past kind- ness. Control and management of the af- fairs, funds and real and personal prop- erty of the corporation is vested in a board of managers, consisting of the president, four vice presidents, the sec- retary, assistant secretary, treasurer and ten other members. At the present time Mrs. Alfred E. Bradley takes the ‘place of the resigning president, Mrs. Alexander Sharp, until the next annual election. Mrs, Louis Kingsley and Mrs. Edward J. Dorn, representing the Navy; Mrs. Henry T. Allen and Mrs. St. John Gre- ble, representing the Army, are the four vice presidents. Miss Emma Nourse has been secretary for fourteen years’ She has as her assistant. Miss Katharine Rawson, daughter of the late Prof. Raw- son, of the Navy. Mrs. Ormond M. Lissak is treasurer, assisted until re- certly by Mrs. C. C. Smith, now Mrs. N. C. Barney, The other members of the board of Managers are Mrs. Emerson H. Liscum, chairman; Mrs. William H. Carter, Mrs. George W. McIver, Mrs. Richard D. La Garde. Mrs. Henry T. Allen, Mrs. Theo- dore Jewell, Mrs. E. H. Campbell, Mrs. Arthur Willard, Mrs. Frank B, Freyer and Mrs. Richard Cutts. The finance committee is headed by Mrs. Henry T. Allen, assisted by Mrs. Richard Gutts and Mrs. Edwin St. John Grebie, vigorously promotes—and most ably—the various entertainments ty which money is raised for liquidating the mortgage on the clubhouse. Mrs. Charles P. Summera!! is chairman of membership, and Mrs. Charles F. Hughes Is in charge of books and maga- zines. Mrs. J. C. Kelton has charge of the telegraphic code. Last winter Mrs. G. E. McIver took the place of Mrs. Edward S. Kellogg as chairman of the club. She has as her assistants, Mesdames L. D. Green, Courtland Nixon; I. E. Backstrom, A. D. Shoup, Riley McConnell, J. H. .Shafroth, Mand the club manager, Sergt. Marion Stone. When the various prospective enter- ainments are given for the purpose of raising funds for a continuance of eague work, the committees in charge nope and believe that a generous re- sponse will come from the community t large. ngineers Qualify As Second Lieutenants The following enlisted men of the 2ist Engineers, District of Columbia ational Guard, have qualified in com- petitive examination for commissions S second lieutenants of engineers, and ave been placed on the eligible Ist of ppointment.

To clarify confusing designations of bdivisions of the Army and War De- tment, a general order has been is- ed changing their nomenclature. Various terms heretofore have been a which, though sanctioned by cus- orders, regulations and law, differ | and tend to confusion. For ex- . the term “bureau” although ly used with reference to all sub- visions of the War Department as a ; establishment, will be applied in future to the bureaus of militia 4 insular affairs only. he terms “arm” and “service,” will ‘used to designate subdivisions of the ny and use of such terms as “com- oll and “noncombatant” will be ntinued. The “arms” are the , infantry and field artillery and ¢ artillery, air, engineers and signal ys. 'The ‘services’ are the adjutant ner’ ‘al’s, inspector general’s, judge ad- general's, finance, medical and departments, the quarter- ers’ and chaplains’ corps, and the warfare service. of various subdivisions have signated from time to time in i: r Congress and nothing in the | ee one a change in these, | terms “corps,” “service,” and “de- mt” applying whenever the title P ic subdivision is concerned. 4 “eae “ Si. ee- ve ace Pa 8 Do THE WASHIN' GION POST: SUNDAY, SS eee me ee eee [ACTIVITIES OF CAPITAL VETERANS . VETERANS OF FOREIGN WARS. The meetings of National Capital, Federal and Front Line Posts, sched- uled for this week, have been called off, due to the holiday season. There will be a meeting of T. N. T. Ten‘, of the Coot- les, at Woodmen’s Hall on Friday even- ing, at which time the new officers for the coming year will be selected. A snappy vaudeville program and refresh- ments will follow the meeting and all Cooties and prospective Cooties are urged to be present. Regardless of the coming holidays, the department entertainment com- mittee, under the direction of Comrade Abe Grudd, is going right ahead with their arrangements for the two big functions on the V. F. W. calendar tor January, the joint installation and dance and the midwinter department smoker. These two attractions are al- ways eagerly looked forward to by the local. vets, and the committee is sparing no effort to make them both gala af- fairs. The colors of each post and aux- iliary will decorate the main audito- rlum of the L’Aiglon on the occasion of the installing of the newly elected officers of every post and auxiliary in the District, by Department Command- er Frank Lockhead and his staff, on the night of January 9. This very impres- sive ceremony will be followed by an evening of dancing, the music to be dispensed for the occasion by Rudy Albrecht and his orchestra. The smoker will again be one of those peppy affairs for which the V. F. W. have become famous throughout the land of veterandom. Members of the V. F. W. Departments of Maryland, Vir- ginia, West Virginia and Pennsylvania will be honored guests of the District vets at this big get-together. The posts have responded generously to the eppeal of Commander in Chief Eugene Carve for toys, &c., for the chil- dren at the National Home of the V. F. W. at Eaton Rapids, Mich. Every post and auxiliary in this department have dug into their relief funds and con- tributed to this good cause and it Is an assured fact that the Ilttle orphan wards of this organization will know that there is a Santa Claus. While in Washington recently Mrs. Bessie Hankins, of Revere, Mass. the national president of the Ladles’ ‘Aux- iliaries of the V. F. W., made the decla- ration that the auxiliaries will present the National Home with a hospital building by the end of this year, and she hoped that the posts would see to it that the home got a school bultiding. There is little doubt in the minds of the local vets that both of these much needed institutions will shortly be erected at the home, for the organiza- tion as a whole ts evincing much more interest in these little wards at the present time than it evet has and this is due largely to the visit “made by twelve of these wards to the last en- campment of the V. F. W. at Indian- apolis, where hundreds of delegates and visitors were enabled to see the great good that the organization is doing for’ the children of departed comrades. Recruiting Is Encouraging. The recruiting drive now on in this department is showing a material growth in the - ranks of every post. Since the drive began on November i, the six units of this department have waged a merry battle for eligibles and the result is that the fight for the grand prize donated by. the depart- ment, will be contested right down to the closing day on January 31. Accord- ing to the figures of Chief of Staff F. R. Heise, who is in charge of the drive, Equality-Walter Reed Post is at pres- ent slightly in the lead in the number of new members coralled, while Na- tional Capital Post is leading in at- tendance at meetings. But as the con- test still has over a month to go, and the other posts on their heels, these two big posts are none too secure with their present leads and they will have to keep on hustling to keep ahead. With a uniform selected and orders to proceed with the formation of a musica) un{lt, the drum corps commit- tee of Front Line Post are going pte with their plans for a V. F. W. drun and bugle corps. Realizing the need rs recruiting musicians from other posts, the committee is drafting a letter to be forwarded to all post commanders asking that all buglers and drummers in their respective posts be urged to affiliate with the Front Line Drum Corps. It is hoped to eventually absorb this unit into one big department drum corp. The start is being made by Front Line Post because it feels that a post is the proper agency to inaugurate such a venture, the department being handicapped by its lack of numbers. This post, the “baby post” of the Dis- trict, is showing much spirit these days and its growth in the pas J year has necessitated a change of meeting places, the present hall being inade- quate to comfortably seat all members attending meetings. Beginntng with the first meeting of the New Year,. Front Line Posé will hold its sessions in the clubrooms of the Army, Navy and Marine Club at Eleventh and L streets northwest. The degree team of the post will also begin to function at that time. $100 for Christmas Work. The relief committee of National Capital Post was presented with a check for $100 for its Christmas work, at,the last meeting of the post. This ‘post has always been a leader in veteran relief work and has a very active com- mittee visiting the hospitals every week. The post also ‘voted. $10 to the toy fund for the National Home. Columbia Post was host to. the department commander, Capt. Frank Lockhead and his staff at the last meeting of the post on Wednesday evening at the Circle Club. Election of officers for the coming year was the main business of the evening. The entertainment committee of Columbia Post put on a show at the Naval Hos- pital on Thursday night that was very finely received by the boys down there and the post is to be highly compli- mented on having such a live-wire com- mittee at work. Comrade Johnny Hart is in charge of the committee. This post has forwarded a check for $50 to the treasurer of the V. F. W. National Home and one for $25 to the relief committee of the District of Columbia Department. All post commanders ate again urged to have all delegates on hand for the constitutional encampment of the District of Columbia Department, to be held in the board room of the District Building, on the night of January 6. Post adjutants are to see that all changes of address and all additions on the rosters of their respective posts are immediately forwarded to the depart- ment adjutant, William I. Jenkins, 1901 Lawrence street northeast. Federal Post.

On receiving his honorable disch on ? | May 30, 1919, he entered the empioy of the Weather Bureau as a printer, where hs is stil) serving. Officer of the day Thomas L. Clinton, elected for the second time for that office, is the oldest man in the post, having just recently passed his 70th birthday anniversary, and has a dis- tinguished record in the Indian Wars. All post officers will be installed on January 9, 1929. at the joint eepart- ment installation to be held at the L’Aiglon. Front Line Post. Front Line Post No. 1401, having Outgrown its old meeting place, will hereafter meet in the Soldiers, Sailors and Marines Club, Eleventh and L streets northwest on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month.

Front Line Post is receiving applica- tions from. prospective members of the ; W. Drum and Bugle Corps. Mem- bers of other posts are invited to join provided they do not already belong to other active drum and bugle units that would turn out at the same time as the new V. F. W. organization. Applications for membership In the new Drum and Bugle Corps should be forwarded to Front Line Post, V. F.. W.., Room 303, 508 Fourteenth street north- west. National Capital Post.

Hollingsworth, will be accompanied by thelr officers, newly elected and outgoing officers, includ ing many post members and thelr fam- ilies. This being the first general Christmas party given by the ladies auxiliary, it Is anticipated that a large gathering will be present, offering an opportunity for both members of the auxillary and post members to become acquainted and extend season's greet- | ings to all newly elected auxiliary of- ficers. — The post received notice through the D. C. department that a constitution convention will be held Magiday eve- ning, January 7, at the boardroom, Dis- trict Building, for the proposed changes in the department by-laws.

Welfare work 1s being carried on in other States and the problems with which they are beset was included in his remarks. At his suggestion, a donation was.made for the tubercular veterans who have mi- grated into the States of Arizona and New Mexico, and where there is much need among those who are seeking to regain their health in those States. A roll call of the posts comprising this department, showed that with the exception of about four posts, healthy membership returns had been made to the department during the closing days of the membership campaign for paid- up members for next year.

TIME TO GOVERN MUSIC Changes in regulations governing mil- itary honors and ceremonies have ts made by the War Department. Included in the revision ts one whith prescribe a salute of nineteen guns for the general of the armies, instead .of seventeen, Present regulations prescribe the same salute for the general of thé armies as is given a general. Inasmuch as the general of the armies Is senior to every general, hereafter exceptional honors will be rendered him. The new salute prescribed for the genera] of the armies of the United States, therefore; will be on a par with those prescribed for the admiral of the Navy or a field, marshal. Keturn of Salute. By another change the reviewing of cer will return the salutes of unit coni- manders down to and including the battalion or squadron commander. This’ differs from present regulations of long" standing, which prescribe that he. #6-« turn only the salute of the commander of troops. Thereby the reviewing officer was enabled to observe the without the interruptions and diversion” incident to being on the alert to return salutes. Further changes prescribed in greater detail the time honors are to be rend- ered by escorts or honor on the ap~ pearance of the distinguished person-' age, including a requirement that the escort of honor be brought to attention when the personage takes position from. which to receive the salute. At thet: moment. and not before, the uswtal* salute will be rendered. In the future the honors rendered him by the escart... Left to Discretion. Methods of cannon salute are left to the discres’ tion of the personage in whose honot. The individual may acknoW-~* ledge it by standing at attention either throughout the firing or any portion thereof. Acknow ledgement of salutes by per- sons in civilian dress may be made by, standing at attention. An individual in a military status. and. wearing . civilian clothes may salute hand on appropriate occasions. Another change governs the time element by the ruffies and flourishes | and the music which follows them. Heretofore this time element has not been prescribed. The amended regula=, , tions, however, prescribe that the music. will be considered an inseparable part of the honor and will immediately fol=~, and flourishes wit thout low the ruffies pause.

| MUSIC AND MUSICIAN | By ELISABETH E. POE. bb LLELUIA” is the. keynote of A ee and choral music for uf. Yuletide. From choir loft, ra+ dio dial and street singers comes the Bame musical message of “Peace on earth, good will to men.” Christmas music has been the source of inspira- tion to many of the world's greatest composers and the traditional hymns of the day reflect the interest taken in it by music masters of all ages. The feast of Christmas carols and hymns is a rich one, indeed. From “Shout the Glad Tidings,” with its legendary basis of “Miriam’s Song,” cherished by the Jewish people, to “Hark, the Herald Angels Sing,” with its measures the work of the freat Mendelssohn, to Bishop Phillips Brooks’ | immortal “O Little Town of Bethle- hem,” the story is ever the same—that of the wonderful event which took Place in Judea more than nineteen hundred years ago. Christmas carols also are rich in tradition. From year to year one notices a rise in popularity for certain carols, often revivals of interest in them. For the’ past two Christmases, “The First Noel,” to its traditional melody has become most familiar. Yet many are true to the standard carols endeared by generations of use, such as “We Three Kings of Orient Are,” “Silent Night, Holy Nizht” and “When Christ Was Born of Mary Free,’ with its quaint words. Washingtonians privileged to hear “America,” the new symphony written by Ernest Block, director of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, dedi- cated to Abraham Lincoln and Walt Whitman, played at its premiere by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, with Walter Damrosch conducting, cn Thursday, had much to say in its praise. “America” won a $3,000 prize last summer in a contest sponsored by Musical America. It is a “sort of national historic pan- orama in music,” according to one ob- server, and embodies in its score many of the songs beloved of the American people, such as “The Battle Cry of Freedom.” A Chippewa war song fur- nishes one of the themes, the hymn “Old Hundred” another. Washington probably will not hear the new symphony until next year. A unique program was given in the Chamber Music Auditorium of the Li- brary of Congress on Thursday, when compositions of W. A. Mozart and Ga- briel Faure were presented. In the Mozart sonata for violin and piano in Cit was interesting to note that Mrs. Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge; donor of the chamber music auditorium, was at the piano, while William Kroll was the violinist. More and more these concerts given at the Library of Congress under the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge Founda- tion are achieving renown for their sound qualities of musicianship and the high ideals sustained by. those in charge of their presentation. The only drawback is that the auditorium itself is sO small that many music lovers who would like to attend do not have the opportunity, although this difficulty is met somewhat by broadcasting most of the concerts over the radio, thus per- mitting thousands of unseen listeners to enjoy these musical treats as well. The Christmastide music assemblies in the public schools have been in full swing for the last two weeks, directed by Dr. Edwin N. C. Barnes and Mrs. Lillian G. Brosseau, with Misses Edith B. Athey, Marv E, Garrett and S. Alleta Hannon as accompanists. There have been assemblies at all the high and junior high schools, and in about 65 grade schools, the groups ranging in size from 100 to 1,800 pupils. A feature has been the use of the sOhg slide in the place of books and song sheets. This is a screen age, and the song slide assembly is a thing of joy to the pupil and teacher alike. Another Yuletide joy to the junior high pupils has been the music under- standing lectures of Mrs. Eveline New- comb Burgess on “The Great Christ- mas Music of the Nations.” These have been profusely illustrated with fine recordings of great choruses and symphonic offerings. Apropos of the recent local interest in American composition, it is worthy of note that the Interhigh School Fes- tival Chorus of 300, with one chorus unit in each high school, is preparing, under the direction of Dr. Edwin N. C. Barnes, Cadman’s new and dramatic cantata, “The Father of Waters,” for presentation at the school music fes- tival, April 19 and 20, in the McKinley High School auditorium. Eva Whitford Lovette,,mezzo soprano and pianist, will give a Christmas re- cital at her studio, 1731 Connecticut avenue, Wednesday evening. There will be a program of carols and choruses by the Lovette Choral Club, and a group of soloists will be presented. Assisting will be Mrs. Lula Wood Volland, presi- dent, and the members of the board of governors of the choral club. The Women’s City Club Chorus will give its annual program of Christmas carols for the club and friends this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. A feature will be a melody from the twelfth cen- tury which will be a capella, the solo part sung by four children from the choir of Keller Memorial Lutlkeran Church as the chorus hums the ac- companiment. ‘irginia Belt, Catherine Donch, Kathleen Birnstein and Virginia Wood are the children on this program. Another feature‘ will be a French carol arranged for the W. C. C. C. by the director, Gertrude Lyons. The pro- gram, which will include well-known traditional carols, includes “Silent Night, Holy Night,” German folk song; “Draw Nigh, Immanuel,” old French, words from twelfth century Mazarabic Breviary; “The First Noel,” traditional: “Lo, How a Rose e’er Blooming” (a ca- pella), M.

SOME USED IN WAR FETES The Christmas tree is not a Chris- tlan symbol, but was borrowec from the pagans, according to Dr Forman T McLean, supervisor of public edu- cetion at the New York Botanical Gar- den. Other Yuletide customs, he says, are of pre-Christian origin, so that the holiday season really perpetuates prac- tices not always associated with peace and goodwill. “Our tall slender spruces and pines did not belong in the Holy Land,” de- clares Dr. McLean, “and our use of them was borrowed from our Anglo- Saxon forebears, who celebrated the winter solstice. when the sun began to rise again in the sky, by a festival to their god, Thor. “This was a time of rejoicing and of presenting gifts, which hung from a tree. From this custom comes the Christmas tree. So one of the symbols of the Teutonic god of war is now used to commemorate the birthday of the Prince of Peace. Holly of Pagan Origin. “The holly, which is so greatly sought. for Christmas greens, was taken from the Saturnalian celebration of Romans They used the PBuropean holly as a token of goodwiil tc accom- THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY.

They also decked their public places with branches of the holly plants. | “The early Christians, in order not offend their pagan neighbors did likewise, and since the Saturnalia co- incided with the Christian Christmas celebration, the use of holly has per- sisted, though we can very clearly credit ir to the ancient Romans and their pagan worship. “The mistletoe, about which so much sentimental interest now centers, was severely condemned by the early Chris- tians because it was adopted directly from Druid priests, who used it in their ceremonials, so it had distinctly dismal associations for the early Christians of England. Used by Pagan Priests, “The reverence for it inspired by the Druid priests persists, however, even down to our own day, and this inter- esting parasitic plant. ‘vhich is a de- stroyer of the trees on which it grows, is still held in high esteem, though perhaps few of us realize that it belongs properly among the pagan _ supersti- tions of the ancient Britons “Thus we see that practically all of the customs which we so devoutly as- sociate with Christmas are not Chris- tian at all, but. really go much deeper into the past race consciousness of Our people. Of course, all of us like to associate the beauties of trees and wild berries with our winter festivals, 80 the use of Christmas trees, evergreen boughs and bright berries is a happy custom, whatever its origin. “The people of the East, who give us our religion, used plants in their religious ceremonials, but with them the palm, the olive and other sub- tropical things took the place of our Northern evergreens.” Jungle Has Advantages.

Brumbach Development Ad- joins Grounds of Washing- ton Golf Organization. ROADS WIND GRACEFULLY Work started last week on the first homes in Country Club Hills, the new development the Brumback Realty Co., Va., which of in Arlington County, | adjoins the grounds of the Washington | Golf and Country Club. While the subdivision has not yet formally placed on the market, officials state the locality has attracted such attention, that a number of homes have already been contracted for in advance of the opening. According to officials of the develop- ing company, there is not a straight street in Country Club Hills. Every natural coritour of the development has been taken advantage of in the plan- ning of streets and homesites, it is said, with the result thay many gracefully winding roads have been provided with- out rendering any homesite difficult of access or remote from the main high- ways bordering the subdivision. Homes of English’and early Colonial types will predominate, the developers state. In accordance with its usual policy, the Brumback Realty Co. an- nounces that it plans to build exten- sively in Country Club Hills, construct- ing homes of harmonizing architectural design for sale, and undertaking con- tracts to build for those who prefer to select designs for their homes. The developers announce that the most modern improvements are planned for installation in Country Club Hills in time for the formal opening of the subdivision early in 1929. Catholic U.

SIMPLE RULES LAID DOWN By LOUISE BARGELT. One of the first questions to be con- sidered in the modernizing of an old house is the betterment of the exterior. Not. every house can be successfully modernized, nor is every house worth the money necessary to bring it up to first class shape. But where a house is structurally sound and the alterations de not require tearing out more than one-third of the interior, it is safe to assume that by remodeling the owner will not only achieve pleasure and in- creased comfort for himself and family but profit financially from the added monetary value of. the house. Considering the exterior, in the case of the house shown today, we see be- fore the modernizing was accomplished, an extremely plain, old-fashioned home. A new root has “been substituted for the old one, with smartly sweeping lines, the frame exterior has been given a veneering of face brick, stone steps and platform have replaced the old ones, the second story bay has been removed and double substituted. hung windows The result surely compares favorably | with most new houses built new from | the foundations up. By veneering with brick, paint and repair bills have been reduced to a minimum, the house has been given | added warmth, and unquestionably added beauty and longevity. In veneering with brick the first thing to be considered is the selection of the brick. | Many Types of Brick. One of the many methods of skintled common brick, now so much the vogue, may be applied to the old | house or one can choose from the various soft and effective shades of the ever charming face brick. To veneer an old house with brick it is necessary to have a support of some kind at the ground level, upon which the brick may be started. It may be that occasionally the existing founda- tion is the native rock, or it projects far enough beyond the frame of the house to give the necessary bage. But in most cases the foundation and the wall above are in line. A footing must be placed in the ground outside the existing foundation wall. For. this a trench should. be dug 6 to 8B inches wide, or the width of the average spade, and it should always be carried | Maj. to a depth below the frost line and to good solid soil. A Concrete Footing. The footing should be of an average concrete mix in the proportion of one | part cement. three parts sand and six parts crushed stone or gravel. As the concrete fills the trench completely, no form is necessary except in the case of a sandy or shifting soil, where a form would have to be set for the outer face. The top should extend a couple of inches above the ground and be finished level, with a straight, smooth outer edge. Where porches occur the brickwork on the house starts at the porch floor on an angle support. The brickwork is now starte on the base provided. It should be set so as to leave an inch space between it and the face of the siding, shingles or stucco, which is not to be removed. This space gives room for the mason’s fingers and allows for the variation In the width of the brick when the face of the wall ts plumbed. Must Anchor Brickwork. As the brickwork progresses it ntust be anchored at intervals to the frame wall by ties. These ties may be corru- gated metal strips, known on the mar- ket as “wall ties,” or the use of 30- penny nails, as anchorage is also prac- tical. These nails are driven into all the studs, every fifth or sixth brick course in height. These nails must be driven in with an upward slant at a point somewhat above the brick and then tapped down with the hammer to the level of the joint so that they extend about an inch into the brickwork. Brick for sills should be laid on edge and pitched approximately at an in- cline of one inch in six to shed the water. They should project at least an inch from the face of the wall to form a drip, and be laid in rich cement mor- tar composed of equal parts of cement and sand, with joints completely filled and finished with a smooth, hard sur- face. The back end of the brick should be clipped to set against the siding and it should be brought up snug under the projecting wooden sills of the ex- isting windows. Placing of Steel Angles. Steel angles eight inches longer than the openings and resting on the brick- work on either side are placed over the windows and doors to support the brickwork above. They should be 3 by 4 inches by 5-16 inch for spans up to 4 feet, and 4 by 5 inches by 5-16 inch for spans from 4 to 6 feet, with the 4- inch leg outstanding in both cases. Where there are still larger openings to be bridged the 3 by 4 inches by 5-16 inch angle should be used by punching or drilling holes in the vertical leg about every four fcet for lag screws and attaching it to the framework over the windows. Where the veneer is to be carried over porches, kitchens, or other low addi- tions, the siding immediately above the roof should be removed and a 3 by 4, inch by 5-16 inch steel angle placed against the sheathing and attached to every third stud with 4-inch lag screws so that no weight of the brickwork comes on the roof. Where the roof has a steep pitch a metal flashing should be placed on the angle extending down to the roof to close the gap and give a finished appearance. Where the roof is comparatively flat, this, of course, is not necessary. Two Inches of Door. The brickwork is laid up to within two inches of door and window open- ings and in the angle thus formed a staff bead molding is securely nailed to the old trim, making a tight joint. Similar moldings should be placed at the underside of roofs, porch ceilings, and like places where the brick meets the old frame finish. So far as the porch is concerned, in case the base of the old one to be re- tained is inclosed with siding.or stucco i of | list for prdomotion to the grade of sec- /ond it may be veneered in the same way as the walls of the house.

Many Specialized Fields. Real estate, like most professions, is fast developing into specialized fields, where individual realtors devote their entire energy along certain restricted lines. These individuals and the larger organizations covering the entire field will concentrate their efforts in tHe respective divisions affecting their business and in this way there will be practically three organizations func- tioning within the board. The former sales managers’ division, Webster stated, will become a section of the brokers’ division. This section is composed of executives personally dt- recting the sales forces affiliated with the board, and it will cooperate in de- veloping ideas and information in con- nection with the details of actual sell- ing methods. The chairman of this sec- tion is J. G. Beitzell, of the Cafritz or- ganization, and Milton F. Schwab, of the Boss & Phelps organization, is vice chairman and Ernest W. Farley, associ- ated with J. E. Douglass Co., is secre- tary. Committees to Be Organized Above—The made-over residence of C.

Christmas Cards Now Very Modern Discs, ‘Angles and Curves Displacing Trees, Santa and Halos. New York, Dec. 22.—Christmas greet- ing cards and wrapping papers have “gone modern.” Traditional designs of Christmas trees, candles, halos, Santa Claus and plum puddings this season are giving way to the same ideas ex- pressed in discs, angles and curves, For those who prefer the old form there are cards with reproductions of the favorite snow scenes and stage coaches, but even these are bigger than ever and are touched by the modern vogue in the lining of the envelopes, which display profusions of &ngles and curves in pink, purple, red, black, gold, gray and green. In wrapping paper silver triangles are imposed one upon the other against a red background, to make Christmas trees. Winter landscapes are conven- tionalized into wavy bands, and much of the paper is striped. In most of the card and paper designs there is noted a tendency to replace the holly spray and Christmas tree motif with pictures, Anything to Oblige.

os a = + a PSWING OF PRIGES |2 CONTINUES BROADLY Stocks’ Gains Far Outnumber Losses in Rather Puz- Zling Market. MONEY REMAINS ivi Special to TThe Washington Post. New York, Dec. 22.—Even sotne ultra- conservative interests Joined to a con- siderable extent in the stock-buying procession todey and the upswing of valyes continued broadly. Although gains were not large in the main, they were aS common as holly, and sizable recessions were as scarce as mistletoe. By and large the market thus com- pleted. laying the foundation for a thogoughly merry Christmas. Wall street’s prognosticators contin- ued to be thoroughly baffled. The com- Placence of those on the side of the advance is a thing remarkable. Plain- ly the outlook for record business pros- perity in the coming year has out- weighed all other considerations, and the prolongation of the determined climb in stock values through the fourth consecutive day in the face of rising money rates is little short of as- tonishing. The 9 per cent holdover rate for de- mand funds apparently had scant tn- fluence on sentiment. The year-end pied gency is certain to show in the ij situation next week, but there ts iam indication now that call loans Will, not ascend to the rate heights freely predicted for them a week or 60 back. Estimates at that time ranged as high as 20 per cent. Turnover Substantially Increased. Absence of a considerable number of traders who began their holidays early did not show in the volume of dealings, Thewturnover approximated 1,900,000 Shares and outside participation was substantially increased. Profit- -taking kept the rise within moderate bounds but Again offerings were very easily ab- sorbed and in a broad sense the market took, on the best aspect of the entire week Short covering again was a prime factor, but increasing public. participa- tion was reflected in many issues, par- ticuléfly the coppers, rails and steels, with the first named @ecidedly in the van. Various of the sensational climbers of the preceding session furthered their advance withopt interruption, although Radio fell back more than 10 points. Victor, contrariwise, added 2 points to its value. Oils, motors and merchandising t{s- sues"as groups lagged, but Packard Swung over a 3-point arc and finished 2% points down. . Aviations Move Narrowly, The aviation ‘issues also moved nar- rowly, but the long-dormant équipment Stocks showed increasing demand. Early interest centered very largely in Good- year, Tire & Rubber, which pushed into | the speculative limelight as it advanced On heavy buying to new record leveis, with.a net gain of 814 points On the whole, traders committed to the bullish side were quite satisfied With the brief session. The way im which recessions were resisted augurs well for'a strong market on Monday. although a good deal of profit taking is inevitable then, too. Diifing today’s session fifteen -new highs and three new lows for the year or niore, although several issues scor- ing new tops closed well below their peaks for the day, and gains outnum- bered losses by a large margin. Prominent among the net gainers, aside from Goodyear, were Columbia Graphophone, up 6%; Jewel i 3% Warner Bros. Pictures 4%; uyame) Fruit, 24%; Mullins, 3%; Alt Co, 4%,;° McCrory B, 5; Martin-Rockwell, 3 Adams Express, 714; Abitibi, 3; Amer- ican International, 4%; American Woolen, 3%; Cerro de Pasco, 214; Chile Copper, 2%; Kennecott, 2%; Victor Talking Machine, 2; Consolidated Gas 1: Liquid Carbonic, 2%: Internationa Cement, 514; General Cable, 21%4;, Du Pont, 3; National Bellas Hess, 7; Stan- ley Co., 2%, and many others.

Bears Are Discovuraged. The failure of the widely predicted secondary reaction to develop during the week has discouraged the bear ele- ment. The bull crowd has brought the market back to almost the levels pre- valling before the three-day setback at the énd of the first week of the month A fortnight ago the opinion was held in most quarters that the bears would have, the market in hand at the Yule season In’ epeculative circles the situation at present is in sharp contrast with the gloom that overhung the com- munity early in the month and the demonstrated ability of the market to ascerid in the face of the recognized possibilities of a disturbance of the money mart next week and for a short time: after t*> dawn of the néw year has ‘restored confidence among long- side ‘speculators and investors alike. : Dominate Copper Division. Kennecott and Aaneconda were pre- dominant in the copper division once more, but the sharpest gain was in an odd lot transaction in Utah. The big companies are expected to seek to ac- quire outstanding minority stock of their various subsidiaries in the near future. Evidence of that trend was had in the Calumet and Arizona board's proposal to increase its capital stock to a round million shares to provide for acquisition, through ex- change of shares, of the minority stock of its subsidiary, New Cornelia. The recently spectacularly rising Na- tional Bellas Hess breasted the 200 level] with impressive ease. Acquisi- tion of several more large stores is in sight and largely expanded business is in prospect. Business in foreign exchange was of a preholigay character in nearly all centers. Sterling was 1-16 higher at $4.85 7-16 and a slight decline oc- curred in Italian. Danish moved up 14 to 26.7114 for cables. Japanese was in continued supply, dropping 9 points, to 45.91. Canadian was weak at \% per cent discount. BALTIMORE SECURITIES.

Aside from the matter of December deliveries, the wheat pit had a‘decidedly preholiday aspect. and the general luli in dealings went hand in hand with only fractional changes -in price Steadiness of Liverpool quotations helped to keep the market here on an even Keel, although the fact was noted that Eu- ropean demand for wheat was predicted to be small until after January 1 Wheat bears put particular stress mean- while on gossip about whet was described & the annual outpouring of wheat from the Southern Hemisphere now due. In this con- nection advices were received from Argen- tina and Australia tending to confirm esti- mates of a big exportable surplus of wheat to come from south of the equator Latest fizures on Australian wheet rrodrection this season were pgiven as 50,000,000 bushels more than last year and the Argentine wheat export surplus was said today to total 220,- 0,000 bushels. If there was any difference, corn wee the most active grain here today, The outstanding feature was persistent ab- sence of liberal offerings from the country, despite favorable weather throughout the corn belt. Receipts of corn in Chicago today amounted to but 205 cars, compared with cars a& week ago. Corn export demand today was slack. but better trade is in gen- eral anticipated after the turn of the year Oats today followed the lead of corn and was responsive to commission house buying Provisions acted easier as a result of scat- tered liquidation and hedging pressure. but geelnee were limited, hogs being steady to 10c hieher Cash grain: HEAT--No. 2 hard. 1.19%. eer No. 3 #£4mixed, B31; No. § Oo mines.

A \Open| | High 3 Low t Last Issu¢., FOREIGNS MORE ACTIVE New York, Dec. 22 (A.P.).—Prices firmed up a bit after early weakness in the bond market today, buying ap- parently being in sympathy with the advance in stock prices. Trading was dull and light, total sales being slightly less than $4,000,000. _ Coppers again were in the head, Ana- conda 7s rising 4 points and Andes 7s 2 points. Barnsdall 6s were bought at fractionally higher levels in contrast to declines in most other oils, especially Transcontinental Oil 613s, which yield- ed a point. Small gains were regis- tered by Westinghouse 5s, Loew's 6s, International Cement 5s, Bush Termi- nal Buildings 5s and others. There was some profit taking, caus- ing declines in Republic Iron & Steel 51,8, General Asphalt 6s, Certainteed 514s, Kayser & Co. 5428 and Youngs- town Sheet & Tube 5s. 15\Bolivia 8s, 1947 18|Brazil, 13 Buenos Aires, 118.

This figure, however, showed a recession from the $14,296,- 962,000 total reported for the -week ended December 13. Morris Plan Is Explained, President Robert O. Bonnell, of the Morris Plan Bankers Association, 1s anxious to correct an erroneous public impression, that the Morris Plan banks comprise a “chain banking system.” “With but few exceptions,” he said, “banks operating the Rorris Plan are locally owned and controlled, he states. They are not subject to any central supervision and their only affiliation with each other is through their volun- tary membership in the Morris Plau Bankers Association, with headquarters in St. Louis. “Each institution has its own board of directors, composed of successful munity. While Morris Plan service is available in 130 cities in the United States, and while the combined re- sources of these banks amount to ap- | proximately $175,000,000 and their com- bined volume will run in excess of $200,000,000 this year, the use of the words chain or system might lead de- positors in any one institution into be- lieving that these combined resources are back of his particular deposit. No Morris Plan saver, however, has evér lost a penny since the first Morris Plan Bank was established in 1910.” Food Prices Show Rise. An increase of about one-third of 1 per cent for the month ended No- vember 15 is shown in the retail food price index issued by the Department of Labor. This marked an advance of a | little more than one-half of 1 per cent since November 15, 1927. Thirteen. articles increased in price during the month, and eighteen decreased. Twelve showed no change. Bank Declares Dividend. The board of directors of the Liberty National Bank have declared a dividend of $3.50 per share out of the earnings | ot the bank for the six months ended | December 31, 1928. payable December 31. 1928, to stockholders of record at the close of business December 22, 1928.

fHE WASHINGTON POST: ee ee ~~ SUNDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1928. een ee ee ee 'THE WORLD'S GREATEST DAY. .A GOOD BOOK AND A PANNING By NELSON. B. BELL- ; HE melancholy days are come, the saddest of the year, in the view of the showman. Of wailing winds, and naked woods, and meadows brown and sere, being no William Cullen Bryant, I Wouldn't know, but my surmise would be that in point of utter barren- mess the sterile picture so deftly painted would take on an astonishing Tesemblance to the overflowing horn of plenty as compared with the Productiveness of today and temorrow in even the most rococo of our cathedrals of the cinema. These are the days upon which the sportively inclined may with entire impunity toss a piano about the orchestra floor of any of the downtown mosques of the movies without fear of bashing the bean or imperiling the physical intégrity of any surreptitious pewholder intent upon the images reflected upon the screen. There are none such. The orchestras toot to empty stalls; the organs moan futilely in the vain hope that some @ar will hear; the house cats creep timidly through the deep-piled aisles terrorized by the racket their velvet footfalls do not make. ness, an empty playhouse! people insist. Eerie busi- Eerier business, an empty coffer, the theater But by Tuesday night they will have forgotten that. The Christmas tree denuded, the toys bent and broken, the turkey reduced to nothing more than a skeleton of its former self and a dollar by some miracle of mercy remaining in the kick, the populace will fare forth for frolic under the mazdas and the delusion of the drama, For only a moment can it be said that it is the night before Christ- mas.when all through the flat not a creature is stirring, not even a rat! And it is wholly fitting that it should be momentarily tough for the showshops. The theater can well afford to surrender a brief day or two to the festival of the Yuletide, glorified by the joyousness that attends the recdégnition that Peace and Good Will are even remotely existent on earth and sanctified by the fleeting consciousness of the Supreme Event in the history of humankind. I doubt if any theaters were even so much as open in the Little Town of Bethlebem a score of centuries ago. v vw a I procrastination, like myself, who are in a quandary, not to say puz- zled; about what to get tq put in that still empty stocking hanging by the imitation gas logs, I can think of nothing that should prove more welcome to the amusement lover with a leaning toward the films than Will Irwin’s fascinating tale of ‘‘The House That Shadows Built.” an nnblushing ‘““plug’’ for Paramount, which, despite its obvious partisan- ship; traces with more accurate knowledge and firmer touch than any other book I have ever read the true story of the inception and the de- velopment of the silent drama as a dominant factor in the entertainment of America. F’ at this belated moment there are any other submissive apostles of To be sure, “The House That Shadows Built’ goes into a few ex- travagances with regard to Mr. Adolph Zukor’s personal qualities and natural endowments that even he must look upon with some slight de- sre@ of skepticism, but in its unimpeachable charting of the course that pictures have followed to their present high estate it is minutely and infallibly correct. This I am able to corroborate in some measure by my own contacts in the course of a considerable participation in at least one aspect of the cinema’s development. There was a time, shortly after I had had something to do with the opening of the Rialto Theater in association with Tom Moore—whose dream of a “‘Temple of the Muses,” artistic, commodious, acoustically perfect and all on one floor, it realized—when I also was concerned in making known the many advantages that would accrue to Washington theatergoers from attendance at one of the Actors’ Fund benefits then about to be given in the National Theater under the personal sponsor- ship of Mr. Daniel Frohman. It was natura) that I should have wanted Mr. Frohman to see what then was looked upon as a picture house worthy of national attention. It was equally natural, I presume, that he should have wanted to see it. In the course of the conversation thus given its initial Mr. Frohman remarked casually, it seemed to me: “This interests me immensely as an indication of the general direc- tion in which pictures are progressing. While in your newspaper and theatrical experience, the name of ‘Frohman’ probably always has sug- gested the legitimate theater, it may interest you to know that only a few years ago I was supporting Paramount; now I am letting Para- mount support me.’’ The full significance of that cryptic comment never was quite clear to me until about three days ago when I read in Mr. Irwin’s romance of big business just how vital a part Daniel Frohman—and indirectly his distinguished brother, Charles Frohman—played in stabilizing an industry which, at the time, under the leadership of Adolph Zukor, you may take my word for it was in dire need of stabilization! + a uv a T HE surest thing I am of—to filch a line from Octavus Roy Cohen, the Birmingham biographer—ts that a reading of “The House That Shadows Built’ ,will convey an immediate conviction that at no time since its introduction to the masses has the camera drama under- gone any such process of retrogression as has overtaken Washington theater audiences. I am at a loss to account for this manifest and lamentawle degenera- tion of the mass theatergoers of the Capital. There was a time well within my memory, and yours, when the picture palace was nonexistent and my professional attendance at the playhouse was along the groove now pursued by Mr. Daly, my office mate; when an evening in the theater was hedged about with a bit of formality and something of the smack of ceremony. The President, like as not, was in a stage box and notables of many nationalities lent the occasion a glamour and an importance that now strangely seem to be lacking. It had been my suspicion for an appreciable period that the laxity of public conduet was an outgrowth of the lower admissions assessed by the tabernacles of the titillating tintypes and the absence therefrom of the spoken word and the presence of the actor in the flesh. The advent of the talking film dissipated the premise that sound had anything to do with it, and attendance a week ago at a notable event in the Auditorium has confirmed me in the belief that there is no gther ex- planation for any aspect of the Capita] City’s sudden flair for bad man- ners than a deliberate predilection for ill behavior. In one of the foremost of the town’s motion picture houses one night, when the sound device was not functioning as it should have, re- serves should have been called out from No. 1 to subdue the demon- stration of disapproval that resulted from a circumstance beyond the management’s immediate control. impetus, BEE ic. opine rig a Ne Pola Neart in “The Woman From Moscow”’ —Palace. HOLLYWOOD HAS MORE RUSSIANS THAN COMMUNE! Aside from Russia itself, there are more Russians in Hollywood today than in any other part of the globe, accord- ing to Paramount studio casting offi- clals. Nobleman, baker man, merchant and every other occupation that can be classified may be found among the thousands of Russian film extras who have turned to the movie capital for the things that have been taken from them in war. Recently a notice was sent to a cast- ing agency by Paramount that 50 Rus- sian types would be needed for Pola Negri’s picture, “The Woman From Moscow” now showing at the Loew's Palace. Among the 50 were to be at least six persons who could play Rus- sian instruments. The agency picked 50 of the types from among its hundreds of appli- cants and they were notified to appear at the studio gates at a certain hour. The 50 appeared at the given hour, but along with the original 50 were at least 500 more. By virtue of the grapevine method of information news had circulated among the others that Paramount wanted Russian’ types. Studio of- ficials were in a quandary for a time as to how to disperse the crowd that clung steadfastly to the gates de- spite being told they could not be used. Finally the police were called and the extras left. However, it was brought to light that since the Rus- sian upheavel thousands’ who knew not how to care for themselves in their own country had fled to Holly- wood, there to earn a bare living by furnishing Russian atmosphere for the movies. Auxillaries. On the stage Wesley Eddy and the Palace Syncopators are presented in the Loew-Publix unit staged by Paul Oscard, “Topsy-Turvy Town,” which features Ferry Corwey, Ford and “Whitey,” the Phelps Twins and the Gamby-Hale Girls. The surrounding program consists of contributions by Harry Borjes and the Palace Orchestra, Charles Gaige at the console, the Fox Movietone News, the M-G-M News, and several novelties pre- sented under the personal supervision of Colby Harriman, managing director. DISCIPLINE IS ESSENTIAL FOR STAGE SUCCESS Lewis Stone, star of stage and screen, who has a leading role in the latest John Gilbert and Greta Garbo costar- ring film, “A Woman of Affairs,” which synchronized with sound, is now play- ing at Loew’s Columbia, was asked re- cently what single asset .he considered most valuable in a young actor. “I think the most valuable asset any young man can possess is a habit of discipline and the physical well-being that comes from military training,” was the reply. “I never could have stood the strain ot the many years on the stage and screen had it not been for the training I received as a boy in military school,” Stone continued. ‘The figorous physi- ca: culture program was drilled into me so thoroughly that it became a part of my everyday life and I have never for- John Darrow, ® Nancy Drexel and Dar THE SECRET OF GHOSTLY MAGIC HERE REVEALED Apropos of “The Haunted House,” First National sound picture, the screen feature of the Christmas week program at Crandall’s Metropolitan, and said to be a thriller among thrillers, Benjamin Christensen, who directed the film, gives some interesting sidelights on how ghosts are “made,” as ada Bs bs ae \id Rollins in “Prep and q John Gilbert and Greta Garbo in “A Woman of Af fairs’”’—Columbia.

Butler’s current picture, “Prep and Pep,” featuring David Rollins and Nancy Drexel, now at the Fox Theater, is a fast moving story of prep school days with a wealth of humorous and intimate incidents that fill cadets’ everyday life. The greater part of the picture was filmed at Culver Military Academy, Culver, Ind. the story The Stage. On the stage “the greatest show earth’’ will be offered. As the publicity men of the circus would have it, here “are the world’s best entertainers all | gathered under one big tent to amuse you.”” The true atmosphere of the cir- cus will be created with many real stars of the big tops as the featured artists. The highlight of the stage program will be the return of Mary Read’s six- teen Fox Tilerettes. This group of pre- cision dancers have several new rou- times, all suggestive of the circus. Others will include the talking crow, Jocko; the seven Daredevils, a group of whirl- ing, twirling Arabs; John Maxwell, half man, half woman; the Paul Brothers, creating plenty of thrills high itn the air; the dashing troupe of Japanese ac- robats: Bear and Wahl, comedians, and the invisible-visible master of cere- monies, Lawrence Downey, as the ring- master. BEBE DANIELS, SOUND COMEDY, MUSICAL HITS All comedy arises from incongruity, and the greater the contrast between the incongruous objects or persons the greater is the humor. This is the theory of Edward Suth- erland, the young motion picture di- rector, best known for his hilarious comedies with Wallace Beery and Ray- mond Hatton, including “Behind the Front” and “We're in the Navy Now.” Sutherland directed Bebe Daniels in her newest Paramount comedy, “What a Night!” the screen feature of the current week’s program at the Earle Theater. “‘What a Night!’ is about a fight between a newspaper editor and a crooked political- faction,’ Suther- land explained, “and into this situa- tion of pure melodrama we injected a girl who is completely incongruous. “We played the melodramatic story ‘straight,’ or, in other words, seriously. We started our story in just the same way that any newspaper of underworld melodrama would be started. AND THERE ARE THOSE WHO DEEM TALKIES PASSING FAD ARKING the culmination of a M two year period of intensive research and experimentation Jesse L. Lasky, first vice president of Paramount Famous Lasky Corporation, has announced the talking, singing and synchronized pictures which will be released betwen January and July, 1929. “For seventeen years our company has produced the finest quality silent pictures,” said Mr. Lasky. “For the past two years we have been working in this new field. We installed in our studios at Hollywood and Long Island City, the finest equipment for making pictures that talk. We assembled the best technica] staff available. We made rigid tests of our players and dis- covered that most of them have ex- cellant recording voices. “Realizing the value of stage ex- perience in audible pictures, we signed many of the outstanding stars of the spoken drama, including Jeanne Eagels, O. P. Heggie, Claudette Cobert, Walter Huston, Ruth Chatterton, the four Marx brothers and Edward Robinson. “We also enlisted such Broadway producers as George Abbott, Robert Milton, Joseph Santley, John Crom- well and Edwin Knopf. The famous Charles Frohman Producing Co., under the leadership of Gilbert Miller, is a part of our organization. “As a sample of what could be ac- complished with the new medium of artistic expression we recently pre-re- leased ‘Interference,’ which was greeted on all sides with superlatives. After viewing ‘Interference’ the Morning World, stated: ‘Paramount takes an easy lead in talking pictures.’ “Following is the list of talking plic- tures which will be released starting the first day of the new year. There will be 22 all-star all-talking feature pictures and 17 full length productions which willl have talking and singing itn addition to a synchronized music score. Approximately 50 short talking features will be distributed during that period. “This does not mean a cessation of silent picture production. Of the 39 sound pictures 24 will also have silent versions. These, in addition to three pictures which will be produced entire- ly In silent form, make a total of 27 feature length pictures which willl ne available for theaters not sound equipped “We will release a series of four units comprising a full program with one feature and two short feature subjects.

The title EXPERT WARNS NOT TO BE THE STAR IN STARVATION On | LMOST every feminine movie star A in Hollywood is 10 to 15 pounds under the weight necessary for good health. The careers of a dozen of them already have been wrecked by tubercu- losis, anemia, or nervous aflments re- sulting from their frantic efforts to keep the slender figures which they believe the public demands of them. What is more important, women all over the country are endangering their health by following the starvation diets of the stars—because they don’t know that the movie camera enlarged) the figure and that the player must border on a haggard state in order to present the desired appearance of slenderness on the screen. These are the startling facts brought out by an investigator for Photoplay Magazine, who, assisted by leading phy- sicilans, has compiled statistics on the diet, weight and health of 150 of the most envied starring women in Holly- wood. “This stupid, atrocious style is affect- ing the health of women all over the world,” declares Dr. H. B. K, Willis, prominent Hollywood physician and dietitian, in an interview published in the January issue of the magazine. “The girls could stop all this nonsense if they would. They could band to- gether and refuse to take off this ridiculous amount of weight. They get the kind of clothes they want when they protest, they get what they want in dressing rooms, lighting and so on. But they are willing to starve them- selves sick and do nothing about it.” Alice White, the report shows, re- duced from 126 pounds to 96 in a few weeks to get a part for which the director demanded a slender figure. Renee Adoree cut her weight from 125, which was normal, to 97, for the same reason. “Flobelle Fairbanks, niece of Doug, has endangered her health by indulging in a lime-juice diet. Lina Basquette has just come through an enervating reducing process. Molly O’Day is con- valescing from an operation for the re- moval of superfluous flesh.” “High school girls of 15 to 16 who need wholesome body-building food are actually putting their ves in_ peril when they cut down their rations and refuse everything but a hard-boiled egg and an ounce of spinach, or attempt to live on lamb chops and pineapple.” The lissom figure seen on the movie screen is not the real figure of the ac- tress, but an illusion created by the camera, the Photoplay writer points out. “When a woman steps in front of 2 camera she adds from 5 to 20 pounds— in appearance, because the camera pho- tographs but two dimensions. ‘This tends to flatten a round object, making it seem larger,” it is shown. Incidentally, Anita Page, whose figure is such that she can appear successfully at her normal weight of 118 pounds, ap- pears to be disproving the directors’ theory that audiences—men and women —-demand a straight-line figure in their screen heroines. Although she is a relative newcomer to the films, her fan mail is mounting to star propor- tions, Here's difference weight and movie star between norma! ‘ee cobes ceccnen lbs. «eee Pe =") ae : ore wiht oae : fog a

In the case of Adolphe Menjou requires 20 suits, 3 dozen shirts, dozen hats, 40 or 50 neckties, 10 pair of gloves and a dozen pairs of shoes a year, Jack Holt’s screen wardrobe needs are simpler. A “10-gallon” hat, a pair of leather chaps, a “six gun” and car- tridge belt, some riding boots, and he is equipped for the roles which have brought him his motion picture fame. The wardrobe problem has been sim- plified recently for Gary Cooper. In two of his last roles he wore an Army uniform. In his current part for “Wolf Song” he wears the buckskin Slothes of a rough-and-ready trapper. All of Cooper's parts aren’t so easy on the pocketbook, however. From twelve to fifteen sults a year are re- quired to keep him equipped, with a corresponding supply of accessories. Charles (“Buddy”) Rogers has to run a fairly close race with Menjou for wardrobe honors. He is a little easier on the evening clothes than is the lead- ing exponent of well-dressed sophisti- cation. Like Cooper, Richard Dix has had a good break in the wardrobe situation recently. In his last picture, “Red- skin,” he takes the part of an Ameri- can Indian. Before that he wore the uniform of a Leatherneck In “Moran of the Marines.” Dix is known as one of the best dressers in the motion picture col- ony, however, and private wardrobe needs continue even when good clothes are not required for the films.

George’ Bancroft has had about a 50-50 break so far as clothes for the screen are concerned. In a good share of his pictures he has taken the part of a hard-boiled roughneck and has dressed as such. In his current pro- duction, “The Wolf of Wall Street,” he takes the part of a stock broker, and his private wardrobe will have a num- ber of new additions when the picture is ended.

Of them all, Menjou is the hardest hit when it comes to Keeping up an extensive Wardrobe. The screen char- acter he has created would be utterly out of keeping in anything but the most. correctly fastidous clothing. As male motion picture players have to provide their own wardrobe, ex- cept unusual “character” clothes, this moral might be drawn for any man considering conquering the film world —think carefully of the Western or comedy fields.

Hollywood boulevard, one of the most, widely talked and written about streets in the world, has been renamed Santa Claus lane for the duration of the holi- day season. It was the idea of the Chamber of Commerce, of course, and intended to stimulate Christmas shop- ping in this film community. But to many who stroll’ the celebrated street the new signs would be just as appro- priate the year round. The boulevard is emphatically Santa Claus lane to the thousands of screen-struck who flock here hoping for fame in the films. They are fervent believers in a cinema Santa Claus when they arriye; and sometimes, in very rare instances, when they leave. Santa’s Voice Test. And speaking of Christmas, that historic anniversary is being in- fluenced by the prevailing excitement over talking pictures. Richard Arlen is sending nis Yuletide greeting this year on a strip of sould film. He spoke his “Merry Christmas” in front of a sound camera, and had copies of the resultant celluloid sound track made for mounting on his greeting cards.

Louls Wolheim, who is often called “the screen’s ugliest actor,” has his first sympathetic role in “Square Shoul- ders,” in which hé appears as the fa- ther of Junior Coghlan. Larry Banthim, who was a deck hand on a San Francisco tugboat three months ago, and who is now playing in pictures, has just been given a part in “The Man and the Moment,” with Billie Dove. Additions are still being made to the cast of “The Charlatan,” the Broadway stage play in production at Universal. Monte Montague is the latest player signed for this production, which has a notabie cast, including Holmes Her- bert. Margaret Livingston, Rockcliffe Fellows, Philo McCullough, Anita Gar- vin, Bud Marshall, Rose Tapley, John George and Wilson Benge. George Mel- ford is the director. “Gamby,” the famous Maria Gam- barelli who is known to millions over the radio and to hundreds of thousands because of her appearances in Broad- way stage shows, in person is directing the troupe of Gamby-Hale girls in the cabaret scene of the all-talking film. “The Hole in the Wall,” in production at Paramount’s Long Island Studio In a cabaret setting representing the most lavish type of night club, the girls drawn from Boris Petroff’s ‘Blue Revue” appear.

For the first time in 22 years’ active service in the theater, Mr. Stephen : E. Cochran, manager of the National, will enjoy Christmas dinner at home. On all other Christmas Days there have been matinees. This year, with ‘Strange Interlude” as the attraction, a play that gets started at 5:30, and runs on, and on, until 11 o’clock at night, with time eut for luncheon, or dinner, or whatever the patrons favor at the 7 e’clock hour, the boss doesn’t have to come dewntown until after the turkey is carved and the presents distributed. Santa Claus is also good to the other side of the street, where Mr. T. D. Bonneville holds forth as manager of Poli’s. There, the new musical comedy offering, ‘Well, Well, Well,” does not get started until the very night of Christmas. So that Mr. Bonneville can have several dinners, at home and abroad, and then come down to enjoy a good show; for this one, with the idea back of it, the authors and composers, and the cast, seems to have what the department store people call ‘‘the goods.” Up on Lafayette square, where Charles Emerson Cook, disciple of David Belasco, has ensconced the Savoy Musical Comédy Company, there will be precious little time for Christmas dinners, or even hurried luncheons, for the Savoyards have devoted themselves, this week, to an altruistic attempt to bring back a piece of glorious memory, “The Gingerbread Man’’—something certain to please the children, of what- ever age A piece of good news in connection with this effort is that Philander Johnson, dean of dramatic critics hereabouts, has written a prologue to “The Gingerbread Man,” and this has been set to music by Vincent J. Colling, musical director for the Savoyards. . STRANGE INTERLUDE IN NINE ACTS Cast Includes PAULINE LORD, RALPH MORGAN, HARRY C.

The back-log was good 6 feet long—diameter was two, It took a yoke of oxen to snake it from the slue, And two strong men with cant-hooks to place it trim and true Behind the giant andirons, and underneath the flue.

Old England had her Yule log; old Buckeye had his, true. A day of feast and frolic, with no one ‘in his cups,’ Then, as a special present, one of Old Sweetlips’ pups, And lastly from the paddock they led a pony fine With flowing mane and fetlocks, and said that he was mine.

The airplane, too, goes in quest of comfort. Newest.cf mankind’s modes of travel, it offers no exception to the rule that to get patronage it must give relaxation of mind and ease of body. Just as the day coach has got away or is getting away from red plush and un- carpeted floors, as the automobile is boasting of form-fitting seats, as Pull- mans have hedrooms instead of berths, as steamers have beds instead of bunks, so has the airplane turned its back on the period when it was as uncomfort- able as the seats in the old “opery house.” In every quarter of the industry, from that which produces planes to give thrills to exuberant youth to those which create aircraft to transport busy business men from one sector of the commercial front to another 3,000 miles away, there is evidence of a thought for comfort. Especially is this the case where the plane is to function as a pas- senger carrier. The big transport planes reveal beyond a doubt that com- fort is a competitive consideration along with reliability, speed, carrying capacity and other characteristics that one might more readily associate with air- craft. Head room, leg room, sufficient illumination for day or night, seats that are easy on the spine, windows that are easy On the eye, racks that get the luggage out of the way, warmth, venti- lation—these are things that the plane designer of today must think about and is thinking about. It may give a laugh to the cynical old-timer who flew his plane while sitting, projected into space, On an undertaker’s chair. At the same time, it gives the public a desire to ride in airplanes. Desired by Industry. “That,” says one prominent plane op- Obviously, he speaks for the multitude. When one opens the door of a mod- ern airliner, he is immediately im- pressed with its inviting comfort. The interior represents, approximately, a combination of the iuxurious limousine and the Pullman. It is, of course, much closer to the former than the latter. The kinship is established first, per- haps, in the shape of the cabin. The upholstery, of mohair, broadcloth or leather is like that of the fine auto- mobile in both tone and texture.

In the smaller cabin ships, of course, the arrangement is more like that of the automobile. The aisle dividing the seats is dispensed with for the reason that the width of the fuselage and its shape are resistance factor of big values which must be kept within the limitations of the single motor It ts the tri-motored craft that has that ex- cess of power which permits of more comfortable as well as more seats. Illumination for day and night pas- sengers is adequate in every case, A wealth of window space quite natural- ly would be provided since the incom- parable view it provides is one of the aspects of the plane that makes it de- sirable as a transportation medium The glass used in these windows, in an increasingly large pumber of cases, is the nonshatterable variety. In this re- spect the plane keeps pace with the automobile. Dome Light by Night. By night, dome lights and individual reading lamps mmake it possible for the plane passenger to indulge any literary fancy from the stock table printed in agate type to the latest fiction bound, in flaming red or yellow Cabin heaters, whose source of balmy air is the engine, keep the transport plane passenger sufficiently warm un- der all circumstances which, when the plane is high and the thermometer is low, are circumstances quite beyond the normal. The airliner takes good care of the man or woman who has a prejudice against a lapful of luggage. Heavier baggage is stored in a special compart- ment of the plane where it is out of the way entirely while the smaller items that one likes to have handy may be stored in special racks overhead. ' Washroom facilities comparable to those of the average train are available in case of the modern airliner and while the buffet cabinet has not made its appearance generally, it is not many months away. These and other less important aspects of comfort not only have ap- peared in appealing form but are being considered from the standpoint of im- provement constantly. The man who is contemplating adopting plane trans- portation on a grand scale, then, need not fear the discomforts associated with pioneering. Poincare May Accept 14-Year Invitation Paris, Dec. 22 (A.P.).—A 14-year-old invitation to visit the United States may before long be responded to by Premier Poincay. Ambassador Herrick, early in Jan- uary, 1914, told Poincare, then presi- dent of the republic, that it would give President Woodrow Wilson great pleasure if he could receive him in Washington. Poincare reserved his German Breweries Feel New Wave of Prosperity Berlin, Dec. 22 (A.P.) — That the brewery business is still a lucrative one in Germany is again proved by the dividend declared by the Berliner Kind] year the dividend was 20 per to 24 44 cent for the year. | brewery employs some 1,200 ome | S | than the uncle of the present young | | | running | “en things might have been covered Brauerei of this city, which amounted , Jum of Luther Place Memorial Church, he will obtain a divorce.

Their little plan works well, keeps | them in abundance, until one day, not according to schedule, the wife actually earnest.

COMING ATTRACTIONS Beginning Monday night, December 31, Arthur Hopkins will present the comedy success, “Burlesque,” at Poli’s Theater, for a week’s engagement with the usual matinees on Thursday and Saturday. | “Burlesque” is a romantic comedy of | stage folk and their lfe behind the | Screens and comes to Washington di- | rect from one year’s triumphant run | at the Plymouth Theater in New York, with the original New Vork company. Featured at the head of the large | cast of stage favorites are Hal Skelly and Barbara Stanwyck, well-known song and dance specialists, whe are not only masters of the vocal and terpsi- chorean arts, but are exceptional stars of the acting stage of today. Hal Skelly will appear here in his original creation of “Skid,” wile Miss Stan- wyck will have her original role of “Bonny.” “Lady Be Good,” by George Gersh- win, will be the New Year week’s bill | of the Savoy Musicomedians at the Belasco Theater, beginning Sunday evening, December 30. \In addition, tc the regular Wednesday and Saturday | matinees there will be a holiday mati- nee New Year’s Day, Tuesday. “Lady Be Good” was the outstand- ing stage success in London and New York only a few seasons ago.

This will be the first time that “Lady Be Good,” will be presented at stock prices. The mystery thriller, “Wooden Ki- mono,” will be presented at the Na- tional Theater for one week beginning night, December 30, with and Saturday. “Wooden Kimono,” from all ac- counts, promises to be one of the most baffling of the thriller school of plays ye* offered for solution and the man- agement’s taunt to prospective patrons. “Guess your best to clear up the mys- tery and it’s 10 to 1 you're wrong. The author of “‘Wooden Kimono” has brought its action right down to the minute, using all the latest scientific information in the development of the plot, but by legitimate and logical methods. The Strand Theater will present next | week everybody’s favorite, Flossie De Vere, In the big show with a punch, namely “Parisian Flappers.” The com- pany includes Frank Anderson, Harry Leff, Dick Richards, Gladys Lockwood, Jackie Ryan and Stella Morrisey. The chorus of tantalizing flappers is said to possess unusual ability as well as good looks. One of the high spots in “Parisian Flappers” is a burlesque of the recent Tunney-Dempsey fight. CHRISTMAS PLAY REVIVED AGAIN The fourth annual production of “The Other Wise Man,” Christmas leg- end-drama adapted from Dr. Henry Van Dyke’s world famous story of ‘The Other Wise Man,” will be given on Thursday. Friday and Saturday nights of the coming week, December 27, 28 and 29, at 8:30 o’clock in the auditor- Fourteenth and N streets, under the auspices of the Chapel Players, assisted by a number of leading thurch players in the National Capital. The cast is headed by Denis E. Con- nell, as Artaban, the other wise man, who saw the star in its rising, and set out to follow it, but did not arrive with his brethren in the presence of the young child, Jesus. Katherine Riggs will appear as the minstrel, the Rev. Earle Wilfley as the voice, Charlotte Harriman as the Hebrew mother, Judy Lyeth as the Parthian elave girl. Sev- enty-five persons will appear in the five episodes that make up the story, including “The Sign in the Sky,” “By the Waters of Babylon,” “For the Sake of a Little Child,” “In the Hidden Way of Sorrow” and “A Pearl of Great Price.” There are no reserved seats for’ the performances of “The Other Wise Man,” as the Luther Place Memorial Church Players offer it as a part of the Na- tional Capital’s celebration of the Christmas season. There is no admis- sion fee -Bess Davis Schreiner is in charge of the presentation, assisted by Denis E. Connell, and by Katherine Riggs, as director of music; with Harold Snyder, as lighting director ner as director stage Helen.Gardner as LOWER PRICES FOR NEXT WEEK Announceméntis made by S. E. Coch- ran, manager of the National Theater, that all prices will be lowered when the sale of tickets takes place for “Wooden Kimono,” the mystery-thriller scheduled to play here during New Year’s week. Instead of the usual $3 top, the Na- tional Theater will charge, for “Wodden Kimono,” only $1.60 for the night per- formances, and no advancement in the price of admission on New Year's Eve. All seats at the mat'!nee perform- ances of “Wooden Kimono” will be perceptibly lowered, the scale being 50 cents, 75 cents, and $1. It is believed that these prices, for n recognized Broadway success, are the lowest ever charged since the World War. Asked how this could be done, in the face of all the outstanding obstacles to a cut in theater prices at this time, the management of the National The- ater stated that a contract with the company enabled the theater to make what is virtually an experiment. If the public response is such that packed houses greet every performance it may be possible to make as much money with ‘Wooden Kimono” as any other attraction playing only to half houses at prices twice as high. In the end, of course, it all comes down to a question of receipts and expenditures. Getting the Point. Saco, Me.

The prospective airplane purchaser soon will be able to choose his craft as carefully, and from as great a range of types, styles and prices as the auto- mobile buyer of today, in the opinion of Clarence M. Young, director of aero- nautics in the Department of Com- merce. “The prospective purchaser will be able to gain a full knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of any plane he is investigating, and will be able to enjoy the comforting knowledge that Government regulation and keen competition will have eliminated the structurally inefficient and poorly de- signed airplane of the past,” he says 110 Making Planes. “There are now more than 140 Iindl- viduals, groups and organizations en- gaged in the development and manu- | this number | facture of airplanes.

Turkey Abandons Old Matrimonial Custom Djanbazlar, Turkey, Dec. 22 (A.P.).— President Kemal has called off another ancient Anatolian custom, that of cele- brating marriages with free-for-all shooting parties, as a result of a tragic incident which has just occurred in ‘this village. A young peasant girl, Emine Hanem, dressed in bridal finery of white tulle and silver streamers, was being con- ducted from the home of her parents to the home of the groom to the accom- paniment of the usual uproar of pistol and rifle shots, when suddenly just as she was nearing the door of the hus- band whom she had not yet even seen, she was shot through the heart through the wild aim of one of the celebrators, and died instantly.

Has | | | | | Bethlehem Dec. 22 (A.P.).—The ap- | proach of Christmas yearly raises thi |Judea village to Olympic heights as _the spiritual capital of almost 700,000,- tee Christians Here oné may examine at close range ‘a scene which the Western World has ‘always pictured as far off, unrea] and | vague. Jerusalem is a city which has felt the impact of modern progress, bu! Bethlehem remains a town .of dreams and legends. It is still the ancient cit, oi the Bible, but older than the book. Dirt filled lanes and turnings lead in all directions, some of them s0 nar- row that one modern vehicle would clog them. There are the old houses of white stone with tiny aperatures for windows, giving the impression of hav- ling stood there from the beginning of | time. PUZZLED BY HOLINESS Place of Decay and Ruin. | Bethlehem clings to a hillside with | streets at scenic railway angles. It is inone too clean or freshly smelling, « placa of decay and ruin. Round about, ifrom beyond its vine-clad hills are fields stretching to Jerusalem in the ‘north and to Hebron and Beershebu ‘on the fringe of the desert in the |south. Flocks of sheep graze over the \flelds, black sheep for the most part, with here and there a white one. Bethlehem is regularly thronged with | people as long ago, when at the decree ‘of Caesar Augustus “all went to be ' taxed, every one into his own city.” Today it is only the stranger from 'the West who is filled with wonder and |amazement when he finds things just 'as they are described in the Bible. The | people of Bethlehem, on the contrary, ‘arc surprised to find any deviations ‘from the customs of architecture of 1928 years ago. Excavations Are Many. The Holy Land lives amidst relics from biblical times, and hundreds of persons pass daily along the street through which Christ was led to Gol- gotha. To the north, east, west and south are ancient Jewish towns now being excavated by historical societies. Even to the present day he Samaritans may be seen bringing the passover sac- rifice to Mount Gerisim, and there is hardly a mile of any road lacking In geographical designations from the Bible. Here in dally life one meets with dozens of things spoken of in the Bible. Thus, for instance, it would not occur to any one in Palestine to doubt that Moses was able to look at the promised land from Mount Nebo. The transpar- ency of the air permits a clear view. The population of the Holy Land are not deeply impressed by the holiness of their country and the worshipful attitude of foreigners toward Bethle- hem and Jerusalem arouses their curlo- i\sity. They see the flags raised every Sunday over the consulates of the powers and lowered to half-mast on Good Friday and other days of mourn- ing and they are puzzled. Has Three Christmases. Palestine watches the celebration of three Christmases, December 25 by the denominations of Europe and America, January 6 by the Greek church and January 18 by the Armenians. Incidentially this arrangement tends to avold conflicts. The place in which Christ is supposed to have been born is now covered over by the ancient basilica of Constantine. It remaing un- changed since its restoration in the reign of Justinian 1,400 years ago. The areas allotted to each denomina- tion are carefully marked. Each has a part of the church assigned to it. Extreme care is observed to prevent disputes which may lead to an ex- change of diplomatic notes or sanpguin- ary encounters. Plane Shortage In Country Grows Cut in Air Mail Rate Has Reduced Space for Passengers. That day of which the airplane manu- facturer dreamed but a few years ago, finally has arrived. He is being he- leaguered, badgered and begged for planes by patrons who declare that if the manufacturer can produce ships fast enough, they will send them through the air lader with cargo and passengers. While production in all classes of planes seems to be behind demand, it is especially lagging in the case of the large craft, capable of transporting from ten to elghteen passengers alonc with a goodly cargo of mail. One of the fundamental causes of the sudden change in the state of affairs was the reduction of the rate on air mail. This cut, together with the fruitful mission- ary work done by trade bodies and other agencies, resulted in an im- mediate gain in the volume of air mail. In some cases, operators doubled and trebled their volume. It meant that all space available in the plane for pay load had to be given ov’ to the mails. And yet the pas- senger business was becoming larger. The operator put in his orders at once for larger planes and the inevitable re- sult was to swamp the producers of craft of this type. — Another large factor in the situation si the entrance into the field of new operators not only in the matter of opening new lines but in direct com- petition to established compantes. These newcomers add their orders to those of the present operators and fur- ther increase the unfilled list of the menufacturer. As a criterion of where the industry is headed, the acute shortage of planes is especially significant. Nose Comes First In All Tail Spins One of the false pictures that num- erous persons seem to have of airplane maneuvers is that relating to the tail spin. The phrase itself seems to sug- gest that in this position the nose of the plane is pointed heavenward while. the tail spins toward the earth. It is not at all. | * Because of its greater weight, the nose naturally points downward. The maneuver gets its name from the fact that the position of the tall members causes the craft to turn around its longitudinal axis. The only time the ~ tail of the plane ever is down is when, the ship is climbing steeply or looping. Four Out of Five. Great Barrington, . Mass.

He was acquitted on one other automobile charge. |

Children who have to spend Christmas in the Receiving Home under the care of the Board of Public Wel- fare are to be given a Christmas party by the Congress of Pa- rent-Teacher Associa- tions at 3 o’clock Christmas afternoon at the home, 816 Potomac avenue southeast, under the auspices of the Commiittee of Juvenile Protective As- sociation, of which Mrs. Clen C. Leach is chairman. . Members of the committee are mak- ing and filling 40 stockings, 20 of which Mrs. Alfred Holtzman Tolson has un- dertaken to fill, the others to be filled by. the members of the association. Christmas greens for decorations will be furnished by the Parent-Teacher Association of the Patrick Henry School of Arlington, Va., and a tree and its or- nhaments by Mrs. Glen Leach. Ernest H, Daniel will make it a real party by giving ice cream for all the children. There is to be an entertainment and the singing of Christmas carols around the tree. It is hoped that friends will see that a gift foreach child is there, so that these underprivileged cnhil- dren may feel that there is a ‘Santa Claus” and that the Christmas spirit is for them as well as for their more fortunate brothers and sisters. Christmas Appeal. When Christmas is in the air the District of Columbia Congress of Pa- rents and Teachers looks for opportu- nities to spread Christmas cheer in places that would otherwise be cheer- less. This year the Christmas party at the Receiving Home is the big event, and in addition Mrs. G. S. Rafter, State president, made an appeal at Tuesday’s meeting for glasses of jelly or jam for “shut-in” children whose ill health pre- vents their taking part in Christmas festivities. The instant response of lifted hands would indicate that many little ones | will be cheered by a gift of jelly or | jam that will show them that they were not forgotten at this holiday time that particularly belongs to happy | children. Please do not forget your | promise to bring a glass of jelly or) jam to the state office, room 101, | Burlington Hotel. Singing Mothers. The Singing Mothers Chorus met at the home of Mrs. Norris Monday. After the business meeting they enter- tained the executive board of the Congress with a Christmas party. Re- -man of Founders’ Day, freshments were served, followed by music by the chorus, while Claus” distributed gifts from well-filled pack. Three of the chorus, Mrs. Hall, Mrs. Lerch, and Mrs. Dunham, dressed in | oriental robes to represent the “Three | Kings of the Orient,” sang the old carol and presented symbolic gifts to Mrs. Giles Scott Rafter, and afterward | surprised Mrs. Norris with a gift from the chorus. The chorus sang Christmas carols | and Parent-Teacher Association songs | at the meeting of the Drustrict of | Columbia Congress of Parents and | Teachers held at the Burlington | | Hotel Tuesday. | Monthly Conference. “There is a difference between house- keeping and homemaking,” said WwW. Gibson to the members of the District | of Columbia Congress of Parents and | Teachers, at their regular monthly con- ference in the Burlington Hotel Tues- day afternoon. Mr. Gibson is an interantional au- thority on “Boys.” He organized the first Boys’ Summer Camp in America, and has written many books on the subject of “Boys.” He was in Wash- ington for a brief visit and through the Y. M. C. A. he spoke to several groups while he was in town. He said that “the normal boy is 50 per cent dirt and 50 per cent noise. The dirt worries mother and the noise annoys father. The wise parents adjust themselves to their children instead of forcing the growing and developing boys and girls to conform to set patterns.” The other speaker was William Tyler Page, clerk of the House of Representa- tives, who was introduced by Frank C. Merritt, one of the elected delegates of the District of Columbia Congress of Parents and Teachers to the Federation of Citizens Associations. Mr. Page spoke on “Parliamentary Law,” some knowledge of which he considered es- sential to properly conduct a meeting. Mr. Page concluded his address by reciting the ‘Americans Creed” of which he is the author. The members from the Reading Circle of the Stuart Junior High, under the direction of Mrs. L. H. Magruder, presented a little play on “The Value of the Child Welfare Magazine.” The Singing Mothers, sang carols. “Santa | ‘*her” | teachers. 'mas party Three members of the chorus, sing- ing a suitable carol, presented the State President, Mrs. Giles Scott Raf- ter, with a Christmas basket from the State Executive Board. This gift was accompanied by an original poem read by its author, Mrs. James W. Byler. Social Hygiene. Due to the efforts of the District of Columbia Social Hygiene Association, Dr. T. W. Galloway of the Social Hy- giene Association of New York, will be in Washington from January 6 to February 6. Each school morning of this peroid will be given to Parent- Teacher groups. This is the first time the success of the social hygiene work has depended on the energy and direct leadership of the local associations. This op- ‘ portunity to hear Dr. T. W. Galloway ig a rare one and not given without great. financial cost. It is an obliga- tion of the members, as well as a privilege, to make his classes a suc- cess, A suggestion as to handling tne pub- licity is that a notice be sent home through the schools, of these classes asking that those interested in attend- ing the course of four lectures send their names to the children of the committee in their school. Bach school parent-teacher associa- tion must be represented by at ieast three _persons. The centers selected were chosen because they had an audi- torlum and because of their location; also as they were convenient to a num- ber of neighborhood schools. ‘John Burroughs, Eighteenth and Monroe streets northeast, will be the center for the following schools: Wood- ridge, Langdon, Brookland and Bunker Hill.

Phillips, chief of the division of statis- tics, United States Bureau of Educa- tion, at the study class in legislation on Tuesday morning at the Burlington Hotel. He said that in order to be of any practical value school statistics must be (1) comparable,,(2) compre- hensive, (3) accurate, (4) continuous, and (5) recent. Charts were shown in- dicating the trend in school costs, in birth rate and its effect on school at- tendance, comparison of salaries to building and other costs, health of teachers compared to persons in other occupations, ratio of school children to automobiles, and decrease in illiteracy since 1870. In 1870 20 per cent of the population 10 years of age and over were illiterate; in 1890, 13 3-10 per cent; in 1910, 7 7-10 per cent, and in 1920, 6 per cent, . Bills Indorsed.

Writes: My house has a ce- ment block foundation and had a ce- ment floor until recently, with the exception of a vegetable room, where there was a dirt floor, and the en- trance from outside, where only two sides were cemented, and with wooden steps. There was a damp, moldy smell in the whole basement and so we put a cement floor in the vegetable room and cement stairs to the yard, but the musty smell still prevails. Will you tell me how I can get this smell out? It hangs in the ceiling joists and often penetrates to the living quarters above through the openings for our heater pipes. Can we fumigate with any success and what chemicals should we use? We would like to get the smell out be- fore winter comes and storm windows are put on. REPLY. A cement or brick wall is apt to ab- sorb considerable moisture. To avoid this builders sometimes surround the wall with some impervious material. Sometimes they interpose a layer of material impervious to water in the wall or floor. Sometimes placing tile drains around the walls and providing that gutters and roofs drain away from the house will suffice. Where nothing is done along these lines, cellars are likely to be damp and musty and walls to be wet. Since you are in the hole, this is not of great interest you. Buy a barrel or a bushel of unslaked lime. Slaked lime is less effective, but it has some value Sprinkle it freely in your cellar. Renew it from time to time. Ventilate by the windows when- ever the weather allows.

Itt must be conceded that of partner’s No Trump, either with Major suit or with a Minor, should have a fixed and definite meaning.

Take such hands as: not weak- three In- Pile 4 “gatata ox Byes X-X-X-X None With any of the above, a _ player would be severely handicapped if his system barred his taking out his part- ner’s No Trump with weakness; it does not pay to abandon the Minor weakness take-out, but with Major, take-outs showing strength is more important than rescues, Suppose the practice of passing with Minor strength and taking out with Minor weakness were abandoned, and there should be substituted a conven- tion calling for taking out with strength and a singleton and passing under all other conditions (except where the strength warrants bidding three); is it probable that there would be any gain in the long run? Take the following hands: Suppose South bid one No Trump and North felt it necessary to bid two Clubs because of his singleton Diamond; South, knowing that North’s bid showed Club strength and length, probably strength elsewhere and also a danger- ous suit for a No Trump, could not tell what to do. If North’s singleton was a Spade and South went ‘back to No Trump, the result would be disastrous; but if North’s singleton was either a Heart or a Diamond, game would be very improbable at Clubs and prac- tically assured at No Trump. With the odds two to one in favor of South’s be- ing able to protect the short suit, he doubtless would bid two No Trumps over North’s two Clubs; and therefore the only result of the take-out would be greater loss in the event of North's weakness being Spades, and no gain if it were elther of the other suits. When a No Trumper ts facing a hand that contains a singleton and strength in one or more other suits, the chances are that the No Trumper is in shape to take care of the singleton suit: so I do not believe it wise to permit the hold- ing of a worthless singleton to influ- ence a No Trump take-out (either Major or Minor) when such take-out would not have been made had the singleton suit been longer.

Once an explorer in the wilds of Mongolia or the sands of the Gobi desert learns that something is awry at home he loses interest in the work at hand and yearns to get home. That would be all right ona Dr. Andrews contends, but it causes only worry on an Dr. Andrews showed motion pictures of Mongolians who have been so isolated for ages that they know nothing of the outside world, indeed are inclined to believe their tribe are the only human beings, listening to radio programs from Vladivostok. The explorers themselves were diverted by entertainments from various stations in Europe and Asia. But the value of the radio to the expedition was as an auxiliary to mapping work. By prearrangement time signals were transmitted from Tahiti. These were used to find exact longitude; and the determination of this longitude enabled the cartographers to draw maps more accu- | rately than hitherto has been the case. These maps will be used in planning the work of next year when a further hunt for early fossil remains of man; and if Asia is found to be the origin place of human kind the radio will have played its part in the discovery.

What is declared to be the first broadcasting station ever built strictly for the sending of television, is now being erected about five miles north of the National Capital by C. Francis Jenkins, veteran radio and motion pice ture inventor. The new station, which it is though¥ will be ready for operation shortly after the first of the new year, is only one of a series that are to be constructed, Locations of the other stations have not yet been selected. “It is our purpose to set up television stations of adequate power for the territory served,” said Mr, Jenkins discussing his future plans. “To these stations motion picture stories will be distributed for broadcast over the territory served by each pare ticular station,’’ °.e continued. “Radie receivers for the home will be dis tributed in these territories for the ree ception of this new type of entertain ment in the home. Receivers will re# produce pictures amply large enough te entertain the entire family, and friends of the family. Although the price of the instrument has’ not been definitely fixed, it is proposed to make it 86 reasonable as to insure a picture ene- tertainment service to the greatest number of homes.” Like Any Other station. Jenkins stated that the erection of the new television station is very simi~ , Kins has a laboratory, & number of years, perhaps indicates what one farmer) bf *) The by ‘giving him hogs for If it isn’t | ' does not | it is | menting with television and.

The apparatus is almost identical, However, in sending out the pictures the station has to have a wave width of 100 kilocycles, with which Mr. Jenkins states it is pos- sible to do a good job, even at the present time. Later it is believed that this width can be narrowed. The station which is now being erect- ed near Washington will have from 2,000 to 5,000 watts power, and it will be operated on from 4,900 to 5,000 kilo- cycles. At the present time Mr. Jen- and has had for where he has been experimenting and using 46 meters for distance transmission of pictures and 186 meters within the City of Wash- ington.

Both symphonic orchestra and choral singers will lend their services, and many soloists will help to make this broadcast an unusual one. Two hours will be set aside for the rendition of the famous oratorio. Handel wrote ‘The Messiah” in 1741 completing the entire work in the small space of 24 days. It was first performed in Dublin in 1742, as a benefit for a charitable organization, and was thé last oratorio given by Handel, eight days before his death. Some years later Mozart composed additional accompaniments to it, so admirably executed as to have received almost universal acceptance. No musical work has had much longer, continuous or enduring popularity than ‘“‘The Messiah.” “The Messiah” will also be sung from Station WRC, and associated stations of the National Broadcasting Co., at 10:15 o’clock this evening. Station WRC will go on the air at 9:45 o’clock this morning, to broadcast the men’s Bible class service from the Calvary Methodist Episcopal Church, followed by the regular church service. The Rev.

J. Clearman, chief investigator with the Federal 10 p. m., , ee Questions and Answers te a a te Radio Commission, who has just re- turned after looking over the broad- casting situation in Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico. Mr. Clearman said he was much im- pressed by the service being rendered by the small stations, but that if many of them are to keep apace with the art and abide by the rules of the commis- sion, they must add new equipment ,and make provision for program bet- terment, “Many individuals,” man, “who had visions of making money quickly through broadcasting, have been disillusioned, and now they are merely holding their own and they are in no financial position to mod- ernize their plants or expend money for programs. “The owners of such stations in my opinion should make a deal with the ‘town officials, whereby they would be- come municipal stations. Such stations should become the pride of their com- munities and add much to local pres- tige. The town people would then take pride in building up their station, which would be the center of the com- munity life. It would thus be easily possible to broadcast good lecture and other educational features, and ar- ‘rangements could be made for securing good musical programs and other en- tertainment features.” Mr, Clearman is convinced that the time has come when the radio broad- casting industry should be placed on a firm financial basis. He declared: Need of Stable Financing. “Of great importance now to the radio listening millions is the estab- lishment on a firm financial basis of ‘the radio broadcasting industry. People who invest good money in receiving sets naturally expect good entertainment when they tune in., On the other hand, the broadcasters have their problems, chief among which !s to maintain a sound financial status and continue to pu* high-class programs on the air. This can be accomplished in two ways —¢ither by being financed from a single business or commercial source or by ob- taining upkeep revenue from advertis- ing interests. “There are at present many stations ‘in the United States owned and* oper- ated by. large newspapers. Others are owned by big corporations having a business of national scope. Such sta- tions, of course, are secure in taking care of their operating expenses and said Mr. Clear- W. J. CLEARMAN, newly appointed chief investigator for the Federal Radio Commission, who has just returned from the West where he visited Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico, on an inspection tour. WLS Station Seeks 100,000-Watts Power An application to increase its’ power from 5,000 to 100,000 watts, which would make it the highest-powered broadcasting station in the country, has been received by the Federal Radio Commission from station WLS, oper- ated by the Agricultural Broadcasting Co,, Chicago. It is shown by the application that 51 per cent of the stock of the Agricul- tural Broadcasting Co. is owned by thea Prairie Farmer Publishing Co, and the remaining 49 per cent is owned by Sears-Roebuck & Co. Construction of the new 100-kilowatt transmitter would be commenced immediately upon com- pletion of a study of available equip- ment to determine what apparatus is best suited to the station’s need should the construction permit be granted. Hoover May Take Part In Steamboat Parade oe ee ne Pittsburgh, Dec. 21 (A. P.).—A steam- boat parade on the Ohio River, headed by President-elect Herbert Hoover, is planned for September, 1929, to cele- brate completion of all locks and dams on the stream. Capt. Oscar Barrett, president of the Ohio Valley Improvement Association, says he already has invited Mr. Hoover and that he has received his tentative acceptance. Towns and cities along the river will be asked to cooperate, while steamship owners and grerators are expected to participate.

Are there any other tubes you suggest to use in the detector or other sockets? I am using 135 volts B and 9% volts C battery. Tv. T. G. Answer—The 112-A tube is of later design than the 112 and consumes less A battery current. It can be used as a power tube or in the detector socket, In the latter case, it requires 45 volts B battery.

(3) Short-wave transmitters operated in conjunction with regular broadcasters, such as WGY, KDKA, KOIL, WLW, WABC and WRNY. Question—I recently read somewhere but neglected to make a clipping of how to improve a Western Electric cone loud speaker by using a rubber tape on the apex rod. Do you know how it Is done? W.T. Answer—If the input to the loud- speaker is correct this further adjust- ment is not necessary, therefore it may make no difference with some sets be- cause the damper on the arm to pre- vent overloading is not required. Loosen the small thumb-screw at the apex of the cone, Remove the screw so that it will not be lost. Then re- move the five scréws nearest the cen- ter at the rear o fthe loud speaker. This allows the metal ring to be re- moved, leaving the inside mechanism in view. Then remove the three screws which hold the mechanism in position on the main frame. Now remove the small screw which holds the driving armature to the sup- port at the open end of the horse- shoe magnet, and place a small plece of rubber tape between the two metal parts which this screw holds together. rhe uppermost of these metal parts is silver colored and the under one Is dark.

Look- | ing over the cars of recent vintage, it drive | must make from the engine to the rear | wheels will be shortened tremendously. The effect is plain. It is a funda- mental fact of mechanics that trans- mision of power means loss. Reduction of the extent of this transmitting of power, naturally, cuts down this _ loss. Proponents of front-wheel drive. there- fore, point to a considerable reduction of power loss. They claim, also, an advantage in Overcoming the inertia which must be offset before a heavy mass, such as an automobile, can be put into motion. Engineers who favor front-drive declare that it will be a matter of placing the horse before the cart, and they favor it, because they hold that pulling is easier than pushing. Treatment of Rear Axle. Treatment of the rear axle in- teresting. It will be possible even to eliminate a dead rear axle, carrying the wheels on arms pivoted to the frame In general, the bulk and complication of this unit will be modified con- siderably. The brakes in front will be placed not within the wheels, but at a point between the. transmission and the wheels, ‘removed somewhat from the latter. This design, it ts held, will pro- vide cooling for the front brakes, which will be exposed to the onrush of air as the car moves forward. In the point of performance, front- wheel drive holds much promise. Its Supporters claim that it will virtually eliminate the hazard of skidding, since the driving force is applied always in the plane or direction of the front . Wheels and not at a tangent to them as Is the case with rear-drive design. This change is an important con- sideration when rounding a turn. The rear wheels of the front-drive car will follow the front ones, which are the wheels that are steered as well as those that move the car. Less road clearance is another item in which front-drive is to make its con- tribution to greater safety in driving. The whole car can be brought closer to the ground, with the drive shaft, dif- ferential and transmision units out- side the frame instead of beneath it. By thus lowering the center of gravity, overturning becomes more difficult. Increased traction also is claimed for the design which applies the. power to the forewheels. Those who have driven the experimental front-wheel drive cars have taken them through mud which would be impassable for the con- ventional type of car. Snow also can be negotiated more easily. fe s1© Noise Is Eliminated. Elimination of noise by ridding the car of body rumbles also is an advance which front-drive proponents claim. One objection which its shot at front- wheel drive is that it places the deli- cate and essential transmission units in a position where they are exposed N , > . ‘~ oe ~ a" NS 7 .

Driving lights fall into the latter classification. They have been around for considerable time, but they never met with the universal popularity that now is theirs until the sport car proved that they combine beauty with usefulness. a 3 uw - All the way through the automotive list there are names of cars that employ Ross steering units. How many of those who drive these various cars know the special feature of this steering mechanism?

SIMPLICITY IS KEYNOTE Automobile manufacturers constant- ly are striving for newer and artistic effects in their products. ‘The “eye appeal” factor has become in- creasingly important during the past few years. Much interest, therefore, attached to a recent address before the Society of Automotive Engineers by a leading authority on style, fashions and color- ing. The motorist, the ultimate con- sumer of the industry, will be inter- ested prrticularly, in the following Salient points which the speaker emphasized: Copying is especially .nexcusable tin an industry that has the resource and the talent of the automotive industry it i possible to achieve individuality ana completely to avoid freakishness Search deeply for the inherent quali- ties of the product to be designed and the purpose for which it ts to be usd. When these have been analyzed. it is a straightforward job to make the design express them. We can then go on designing cars endlessly, almost without repetition. If the designer will study the varl- ous emutions that can be expressed by a motor car. he will have the key of fashion appeal. Modern art is art that Its with our time, that reflects of today, and expresses our thinking, feeling and acting. “he use for which the car is Iin- tended and the color consclousness of the people will determine what the colors shall be.

I may be “only a woman” but at that probably only a woman could separate herself from the joy of having a new car 1n the family long enough to notice that the headlights on the car were not what they should be, “Why, those lights are all right,” Bob protested when I expressed a different view. “This is a new car. The lights are bound to be right.” “You mean the dealer's bound to make them right,” [ retorted. “Do you know what the law requires in the way of lights?” “Yeh, something about two white lights in front and one red one in the rear and something else along the same line. What’s the law got to do with it? They never .pinch anyone except for having no lights at all.” I then proceeded to tell him that our particular law demanded lights that did not glare and yet provided illumina- tion sufficient to disclose an object the size Of a man at a distance of 200 feet And, then, woman-like, I suggested the law must have had its origin in the de- sire of some intelligent person to make the streets safer. One good way to prove yourself a better driver than your husband is to know something about the traffic regulations, I decided Using that “influence” that woman is credited with having in the realm of motordom, I prevailed upon Bob to drive to the service station to have the lights tested “You'll find they're all right,” he commented, sarcastically “Then, what'll you do for an alibi?” I didn't answer until we got to the service station.”’ where the night fore- man met us with: “Say,_those lights of yours could Motoring With Mary Every revolation of the engine grinds out wisdom for the woman who drives a car, one of them has discovered. : By MARY JANE MOORE—— stand a little adjustin’.” My answer came then in the form of a chuckle. “What's asked. “In the first place,” sald the foreman, “one’s almed too high.

When I get ‘em aimed properly, I'll probably find ‘em out of focus.” “But, it’s a new car,” protested Boy. “Well, even new ones slip through at times in this condition. Ordinarily though, the new owners are so enthust- astic they don't pay any attention fo the lights.” | When the lights had been almed and | properly focused, Bob opened the door and prepared to enter the car. The) mechanic stopped him: “Just a minute,” he said. “You're! about to pass up the most tmportant| feature of the lights.

Se ee I oe INADEQUATE SIGHALS “CAUSE OF Monaro Widespread Disregard of This Rule Shown to Exist Among Motorists. MECHANISMS ARE URGED ee ea ee ee That a highly significant proportion of all automobile mishaps are traceable directly to the failure of motorists to give proper and adequate signals while driving is the contention of leading safety proponents and traffic and police officials. It is emphasized that careful studles show that there is widespread disregard on the part of many drivers of this im- portant traffic rule, and it is pointed out that unless motorists do give proper signals it is inevitable that other high- way users will be unaware of their in- tenttons, with the consequent untoward results. There was a time when there were fewer automobiles on the highways and on the city streets when drivers ad- hered very generally to the rule of giv- ing some kind of a signal that would indicate their intention as to a change in the operation of thelr cars, elther to make a right or left turn, to stop or reverse their cars. Now, with the number of motor ve- hicles increasing by the thousands, mo- torists generally are disregarding the practice of giving proper signals, which rule is one of the requirements of the State traffic code as well as those of most municipalities. In the hope that there may be a re- awakening on the part of drivers, safety and traffic authorities are urging all motorists to begin at once to get in the habit of making use of the proper sig- nals and by so doing reduce not only the number of fatalities, but also save many from more or less serious Injuries One of the most flagrant violations of traffic rules is sald to be the fallure of many motorists when driving away from the curb to give some signa! of such intention.

Some Funds Are Wasted. A recent Nation-wide survey con- ducted by a commission of engineers revealed some interesting statistics in connection with the country’s high- way building program. The big figure of the group was that in the neighborhood of 82,000,000,000 was being spent annually for streets and highways of all kinds. The most significant figure, however, was that which placed the waste due incompetent supervision over this vast construction operation at %400,- 000,000 Twenty per cent of the total wasted! ‘That is a figure for the motorist to ponder, even should it be too high, and no evidence to show that it has been produced. Many motorists in all parts of the country have seen specimens of this type of road construction. They have waited with joyous anticipation the completion of a certain stretch of street or highway. ‘They have driven over it and found their gleeful ex- pectations justified—for a time. Then, they have seen the road quickly. dis- integrate. As many regard the situation, how- ever, the lesson of such an experience is lost. The motorist sees his glorious road broken quickly on the wrack of usage. His reaction is that “it’s too bad,” instead of “who its responsible?” according to many technical commen- tators on the situation. It was his money that built the road; it willl be his money that pays for the repairs; therefore, the motorist should be vitally concerned with the question of road fund waste. Cer- tainly the figures previously cited are large enough to justify the individual's interest. More Hazardous Turns, Are left turns more dangerous than right turns? On the basis of a survey made in Buffalo the answer is in the affirinative. The figures showed that of accidents resulting from changes of direction of the vehicle, 40 per cent were due to cars turning left, and only 20 per cent to those turning to the right. Apparently the fact that the narrowness of the street makes a driver slow when turning left Is accountable for the higher accident rate.

Necessity, however, “in this in- stance as in many others, is the force which changes the visionary into the practical. It is approaching the pcint where something must be done, in the opinion of traffic experts. Congestion is be- coming costly, so much so that com- mercial losses iesulting from crowded streets and highways is estimated all the way from ‘ 1.000,000,000 to $2,000,- 000,000 annually. Until recently, grade separations at important street intersections, the ele- vated highway and superhighway for fast traffic were viewed as somewhat too radical for much more than specu- lation, one may find just as radical methods for handling transportation already in use, An example tis the subway, costing millions of dollars and representing an engineering problem of huge propor- tions. To show that grade separations, rapid-transit highways, and other nota- ble departures from present-day prac- tice have no real economic obstacles in their adoption, it is pointed out that it was found profitable to spend $50,000,000 for the Holland Tunnel under the Hudson River, which affords no more than four miles of transporta- tion. The rapid-transit highway how- ever, is here. Chicago has utilized it to advantage, permitting travel from the loop district northward for several miles at 40 miles an hour. Truly does the world move forward rapidly under the impelling force of necessity. (Copyright, 1928.) When to Disconnect Battery.

Mrs. Taft, a White House visitor during the Hayes term of office, later returned as the wife of the President. “Last evening,’? the scribe wrote, “I had an opportunity of seeing the members of the Royal Family, together with some choice specimens of the democracy, in the circular room of the White House.

The invasion was repulsed for the noment by the outraged cook, but Tad, un- dismayed, appealed to a higher court, the President, and soon all hands were neck deep in turkey and fixin’s. It would be strange if all White House Christmases were of unalloyed happoness, but the only discerdant note that history records was that blown by an _ opposition newspaper when Hayes had finally been inaugurated following the bitternesses of the Tilden-Haves contest. “This unpleasant thought will obtrude itself,’’ wrote the unreconciled editor in the manner of the unbridled personal journalism of the times, “‘that this will be the first time a usurper has celebrated Christmas in the White House.

Janet was already 25, and at 25 in Newark, Tenn., the shades of spinsterhood were thought to be descend- ing. She was too sensible to be downright scared —perhaps the most dangerous symptom of all. But as she helped marry off her friends, the charming and unpracticable debutantes who de- pended upon her to see that everything was carried off correctly, Janet’s composure wore thin- ner and thinner. One evening at a full dress re- hearsal of a young chit’s triumph, Janet over- heard an usher remark to a bridesmaid, “But the bOss is still left. Why don’t we ever do this for her?” And the bridesmaid had carelessly replied, “Oh, Janet? She’d rather be fixing around for some one else. She’s funny that way. I don’t reckon Janet ever will get married now.” That ‘now’ had given the Jolt. Janet had smiled through the rest of the evening with a haggard courage, but in a sleepless bed she formu- lated a new efficiency with a steeled heart. If she could not assist herself to a wedding, at least she was through assisting others. When the letter from Mrs. Kempis, her married sister, arrived two days later, Janet was secretly relieved. Being helpless was not only difficult but a bore. Then, just as if God was really anx- lous to help out, had come word from her sister saying that she was threatened with a serious iliness, and would Janet be’ willing to come to Borderville and relieve her of household cares for a while? J = MILLAN had a recognized ability for Of course, Janet, the letter went on, you must not get up too high hopes of this place. Borderville is just a Canadian cow town, and if you came it would probably be for the winter. Nor can we offer you much in the way of men, dear. Travel is awkward in the cold weather, though the mounted policeman from Coutts comes through occasionally, a nice boy, though of rather different antece- dents; and some of Arthur's ranching friends drop in from time to time. Yet the novelty of this existence would amuse you, and Babs is such a lively little girl that your coming would take a load from our minds. Besides, Babs naturally wants to make the acquaint- ance of her unknown aunt. But, as usual, dear, we leave the decision to you. Janet's instant acquiescence was won by tis fact that Borderville, Alberta, was so far away that mo local map or station agent could compre- hend it. New skies, new chances. If she could not be the spolled darling at home, perhaps she could begin ove’ again, among the cowboys. Her sister, she resolved, would find her sadly changed. From now on she was to be a butterfly. But it is one thing to resolve; it is quite another to reverse one’s lifetime practice. Janet had not been at the Kempis ranch a week before she dis- covered. to her horror that she had mastered the more obvious novelties and had become an ad- junct. This weakness was not strictly her fault, for she had found conditions in her.sister’s home calling out to the very heart of her. Drought had purned up the season's profit, beef was down, her sister—the doctor said—might not recover unless she could enjoy a setting-up season in Arizona, and Babs, lacking a mother, certainly needed an able aunt. Janet had te be temporarily able, since Mr. Kempis, strong and ready for his own work, could not be expected to handle the additional exactions, Janet perforce fell to. The girl soon had the domestic end of things running 60 smoothly that she and Babs could spend most of the daylight driving about the country. While the cowboys were less romantic than she expected, Janet found herself inquiring into their histories. Their improvidence appealed to her as rather charming and as something tact- fully correct. Men, she knew, were not really happiest uncared for. The mounted policeman mentioned in her sister’s letter had been trans- ferred, and in his stead had come @ youth two or three years Janet’s junior, unremarkable in looks or deportment, something of an unspoken blow to her. 1 can’t answer your questions, Doris, dear, she had written back to Tennessee, because there are no mounties in Borderville and the constable who has called twice on Business —spell it with a capital here—has twice rid- den away without falling in love with me, or even getting introduced. His home, which 4s aptly called a detachment, is in the neigh- boring village of Coutts, and that neighbor- ing village is 17 prairie miles away. So I can not run in, as you suggest, and deliver your message. He is not at all like the mounty in the book you gave me, and I doubt if any of them are. But I shall obey your injunctions if I ever meet one. At present Babs is my be-all and end-all, my cosmos. She is adorable, with blue eyes that will some day drive men irresponsible and quite mad. Just at present we are preparing for Santa Claus’ visit. As my sister is in the South, I /~have to oversee everything in the line of fes- tivity. Fortunately, Santa Claus is easy to believe in here with Christmas trees growing. in every coulee and reindeer straying occasion- ally from the national park. As I write I notice that Babs is trying to see how far she can tilt the ink without spilling... . “Babs, precious.” The little girl obeyed. With a gust of irritation Janet recognized that authority in her voice, that carefully controlled command. Could she never ‘rise above competence? Never give way and be taken in hand by some one else? She was just tod dreadfully efficient. Even Babs, she divined, thought her incapable of failure. Certainly the child’s quaint demands were full of such a faith. _. What was she asking now? > “Yes, dear,” Janet replied rather sharply, “write _ to him if you wish.” - “But you .write, too,"’ coaxed Babs. “I don't want to.” Babs’ eyes widened in hurt surprise. Her aunt was never. like her mother, impatient. “You don't want to ask Santa Claus to bring you any- _ Maing?” she exclaimed. “Then I guess I won't.” “O, yes we both will,” said Janet quickly, _ ashamed of ner lapse. “Write gow everything dear,” called Janet, “do be careful. crating dnidhontas Un yre ANCA i you want, Sweetheart, and so will I, and we can matl both letters tomorrow. Be good and siill now and let Aunt Janet think.” Aunt Janet looked out of the window to think. What should she ask Santa? What could she rea- sonably expect him to bring? Ah, there it was again, reason. Detestable! She took up a pen. Dear Santa: If you have the time and can find Borderville, I have a few suggestions to make for our Christmas here. For my sister, a large pack- age of Polar health. For Babs, a book containing answers to all the questions that she will ask next year. For my brother-in-law, one season of suita- ble weather. Personally, a one-way ticket to Tennessee would be most satisfactory, and then, my esteemed Santa, you might bring me a care- taker, if yOu have one in stock, a brutal master if necessary, but in any event somebody who will regard me as helpless, inefficient, and unable to look after myself for ever and ever. He should, by the way, be fairly tall and strong and, if possible, slender. Dark hair is desirable, and I rather de- mand good teeth, but he must be able to talk about something besides the crops. He Babs was interrupting again. now, Aunt Janet. Why like that?” “It’s warm in yours first.” “You read yours are your cheeks all red here, sweetheart. You read “All right,’ in her chair; Dear Santa Claus: I hope you will get through with your Sleigh. Aunt Janet and I thought we would write you a-line or two because we want something awful bad. This is my list. First, please bring me two little dogs, the hairy kind. Second, please bring me a doll with black eyes It can be a grown-up doll because I am not quite @ little girl any more. Please bring mama some and Babs gave a self-satisfied squirm ‘ roses for her cheeks, only she might not like them s0 red as yours, and papa wants calves, I think. And please bring Aunt Janet a man like the man she saw in Coutts. He was a mounty tn a red coat. I hope you will not forget this lst. loving friend, BABS KEMPIS. P. S.: If you haven't any little dogs. I'd like a baby reindeer. “Why Babs, did you mounty?” “I don't know,” said Babs, “it jus; came. You know what you said that day we went shopping in Coutts.” “IT said that the mounties had a very attractive uniform, that was all.” “Maybe that was all you said,” remarked the little girl, “but you thought more.” “Now, tell me, dear,” said Janet, abruptly, “what is Santa Claus’ address?” Babs’ eyes brightened. “1 know that. Santa Claus, North Pole, Canada.” So Janet wrote that down and Babs gave the envelope to her favorite comboy to post. . . + ~ Constable Covington lit another cigarette, and his glance moved from the pile of lettters in front of the two other men to the gray sea be- low the detachment where a ship rested among the ice pans like a larger gull. Covington knew that on her a nervous captain watched for the first sign of a hostile wind from the void of sunny night. This was the Boethic’s fartherest north, this mounted police detachment of Bache Peninsula, and a meére shifting of the sullen ice might shelve her on the beach to keep company forever with the drums of gasoline she had brought. But the men should have time to read their letters. Covington smiled at the litter of hastily opened parceis and gutted envelopes that banked the sides of the small room, Then his smile died as each detail of his two-year home plunged a fresh barb of nostalgia into his heart. What, he thought, is the relationship between me and a water barrel? Why does a dog harness which I have cursed for twenty long months suddenly bring me almost to tears? He looked at his companions, Sergt. Eads, twenty years in the force, large boned, methodical, kind. Corpl. Endicott, loud mouthed, as they had often thought, but full of life, good company.

To your quick return, Cov!” “Here’s to the first fortnight,” said Endicott, lifting his glass. “What's first?” inquired Eads. “How in the hell does he know it it’s Lizzie or Lou?” said Endicott. “Well, whichever it is” said the sergeant, “don’t marry and settle Gown outside for God’s sake.” “Did you ever catch me.

She felt the horses frighten and swerve from the violence of the blast. Terror shook her. She tried to pull them back but her hands were numbing fast. A roughness bumped beneath them, a jolting over something that had never been a road. The sleigh tossed like a canoe in rapids. “Hold to me, Babs!” she cried shrilly as a run- ner dipped. She slid forward to be thrown back. “Tight! Hold tight!” Her cry ended in a scream as came a sicken- ing Hp, a plunge, a scareening of the sleigh, a violent wrench, She felt herself rise. Space seemed to open all around, cold space that end- ed with a smothering jerk. With clenched hands that could scarcely feel she pulled herself to- , gether, spitting snow. \ “Babs!” she called, “Babs! Where are you?” Her voie@e broke. ‘“Babs-—Babs!” For an instant only the whipping of the ice particles, then a childish moan. ““Oooo0h—Ooooh— Aunt Janet!” “O, Babs, Here!” It was a muffled voice, but Babs’ own, alive, not even crying. Janet reached her by flounder- ing and falling, plunging down the slope of a cutbank almost upon the ball of sleigh robe tn which Babs was wound. “Are you hurt, dear- est? Are you hurt? Teil Janet. Aren’t you hurt the least bit?” “I'm all scared,” and Babs’ tears, restrained Surprise, were not set loose by sympathy. Janet, hugging her at the same time she felt. her legs, her arms, wanted to cry, too, but knew that that must be postponed. where?” own, alive, not even crying. Janet reached her by floundering and falling, plunging down the slope of a cutbank almost upon the ball of sleigh robe in which there isn't any Santa Claus? After that? And -he pointed with his pipe to the books and candy sent north by friends of the force. “Leave the bunch to me. I'll be Santa's secretary without pay” “You're welcome.” and Endicott pushed the pile over. Covington turned over a few idly, look- ing at the postmarks and saying, “I don't see why they happen to come here.” “Where else could they go?” said Eads. North Pole’s in our balliwick, isn’t 1t? “They might Just naturally fall into the scrap- basket.” “Hell, no! Mail’s sacred The postoffice has to do its best by every plece and its best, in this case, 1s to pass the buck to us.” Covington was glancing at the children’s requests and a grin disclosed white teeth. “Here’s a kid I'd damn well Ike to oblige,” he said. “Listen, ‘first, please bring me two Aittle dogs, the hairy kind. Sec- ond. But the men never heard the rest, for the door opened and one of the Beothic’s men looked in. “Captain says to tell you he must be pulling out in about ten minutes, sir.” Covington pushed the unread letter into his pocket and shouldered his kit. He untied a beautiful husky dog and led her over the familiar rocks. “Look your last, Peniloo, look your last,” he murmyred sadly, but to the men he showed ho sadness. And they, hiding their emotions as they would a crime, gave him a confusion of last instructions and good- bys. “Next year, sure,” shook hands. “Good luck, Cov,” shouted Endicott, “be good— to yourself.” The patrol was pulled off, and this may ac- count for some replies, on mounted police seta- tionery, signed in Santa’s own hand, which found thelr way next summer back to the children who had included their addresses. But Babs received no such reply. Her letter, with Janet's, thrice read but now forgotten, reposed in the pocket of Constable Covington’s flanne! shirt, which now hung in the closest of his new detachment, the first he had ever been entrusted with alone. “I think Santa Claus is a mean old thing,” said Babs. “Please keep tucked in, and doen't wriggle so,” advised Janet with a sharpness she hardly in- tended, ed at a gait that seemed almost to amount to ill ‘Will on its part. Janet’s mind was not on Santa Claus, although his day had again rolled nearly round, When she had left the ranch in the morning sun she had joked at the foreman’s warning. “Do you have to go today, Miss.” She's li’ble to bust out before night.” Of course, she had to go. What would Christ- mas be without candy, without ribbons, white wrapping paper, the dozen little toyches which make joy beautiful! It seemed equally necessary not to leave Babs behind, unnecessary and un- safe. That very evening her sister woyld re- turn. Mr. Kempis had gone to meet her and to abandon Babs to her own devices for a day, this last day, was as impossible as shirking§ the Christmas chores, She pretended not to hear Babs. Why hadn't the foreman stopped her if he had thought best? Why should the responsibility always be hers? It had grown dark for 2 o'clock and Police- man’s Butte,. lowering through the _ gray _§ air, showed still 12 miles to go. “Get along there, Gammon. Steady, Spinach.” No use worrying with such a palr. “Aunt Janet?” “Crawl dowh there under the robes, sweet-~ heart,” Janet commanded. “The wind’s coming. And don'j sit on the candy boxes. Quickly!” Babs needed no hastener, for out of the air above their heads an arm of wind reached down and slapped them on the face. The _ horses started as if raked by unseén spurs. A burst of snow dust closed her eyes and the wind was like a curtain of stifling stuff held to her face. When the blindness passed, she saw that the day had become 4 dusk of driven snow. It came pouring from the gloom over- ie wind and snow together, in a swirling tor- rent. The body of the squall was on them now. A hard, endless rush of cloud obliterated the road, the telephone poles which marked the route from Coutts to Borderville. Janet could see nothing, and in that country there were no fences. Roads did not have even sides. They were going fast, almost a fast. “Steady. there,” she called. The wind tore her words away. She —. down to the robe. “Are you warm See Se A sudden climax fury swept down on them. that. and “The said Eads quietly as he It was bleakly cold and the sleigh crawl- Rabs was wound. “Stay here, Babs. 1 must find the horses.’ Babs continued to cry softly. Janet hesitated Could she go 50 yards without getting lost? And if the horses were found could they face the dis- tance, those miles, in that cold? The wind was les8 but the cold was greater. She regarded the drifted bank. Men had kept alive for days in such a shelter. She simply could not leave Babs to hunt the horses, even if that were the wiser course, the thing a man would do. With a curi- ous inner relief she felt hergelf yielding, failing, giving up in a feminine reliance on others. If only the horses would go home. They would send out searchers. “Come, Babs, help me. We've got to dig a hole in this snowbank. I won't get the horses.” It was warming work, scooping out their nest, for the older snow was hard With one robe for carpet and the rest for covers, the two siarted their housekeeping without belng chilled. “Isn't this cozy, sweetheart,” said Janet as they hud- died together in the dim light. “Hug up close, clear.’ “I’m awful sleepy.” “But we mustn't go to sleep, dear heart.” “Why?” Janet hugged her tight. “Let’s talk about what we want most for Christmas, dear. You begin.” “No, you.” “All right, sweetest thing,” and Janet began. ° . . “Sorry my wardrobe’s not more varied,” said iW: LHVUVETPRATE AMALIA hit int TGA Te nada wf ‘ ‘ ede hetennatale ult ttt vieneiale tort Hi “ — He ii! itt} i HIN init i{ HT Aaa strane Al aa: !

Are you warm yet?” “Clear through,” murmured Janet, dreamily. “1t’s good brandy and you were due for 4 dram. That wind was putting up a fair imita- tion of the arctic.” Janet said nothing. She did not want to break up this feeling into bits of conversation. “I guess the little girl had better have them boiled?” She nodded and looked at Babs, muffled in the constable’s flannel shirt. She herself was wear- ing his best scarlet serge while her own clothes dried. He was paring potatoes, and she thought she could watch him forever as his postures melted from one to another, and all interpreting strength. To be heipless, to acknowledge heipless- ness to him, was a ‘new happiness. Babs, however, having been now toasted back to normal, feit the drag in conversation, “Is this your home?” she asked of Covington. “Sure lt is, for as long as I’m here. My home's wherever I feed my dogs.” “How did the big dog find us?” Babs asked. “Asleep, little one.

The chances are you would have been drawing your celestial kit by now, harps, wings, ‘mn’ everything. Sorry?” Janet laughed. “This enough for me.” “A better place to celebrate Christmas anyway.” “What are you talking about, Aunt Janet?” “Nothing, dear "’ Janet shivered as her mind pictured Babs lying In her arms a corpse. Perchance the searchers would have found herself in time. Then the home- coming of her sister, the crawling up from the abyss of failure. How had she succumbed tu drowsiness? “Where did you find the pretty dog?” asked Babs, who disliked pauses. “Up north.- In Santa Claus’ front yard.” “Did you ever see him?” asked Babs, lessly. “Not to speak to, but my sergeant did. to take Santa Ciaus his mail.” “Aunt Janet and I wrote to him last Christ- mas,” sald Babs, with less fervor, “and he never answered, and he never brought what we wanted. Any of it.” Covington turned with the frying pan in his hand, his mind struggling for a name. “What did you want?” he asked. “IT wanted two little dogs, the hairy kind, like Penntloo, only Iittler, and 1 asked Santa Clau: please to bring Aunt Janet a Mou ¥ “Babs!” Janet shrieked to drown that dis- closure, while @ blush redder than Santa’s nose crimsoned her face.

The door closed, “T guess Santa Claus won't have to bring you a mounty,” said Babs, serenely. “l guess you've got one.” “Babs,” said Janet, in a voice the little girl had never heard before, “listen to me. If you evel mention such a thing, I'll spank you till you can't stand up. If you ever tell him anything about those letters. . . they’re our secret with Santa Claus.

Covington pulled back with a slow twist of withdrawal. Not on your life. The north for him. Hadcdn’t he promised Eads? He cleared his throat. “Do you girls think you can keep comfortable here?

But it was not in her to give in at once. “You could go tomorrow,” she sald. “It'll be just as bad tomorrow, and the harm ’i be done. I’m coming back tomorrow. It’s Christ- mas Eve.” His hand lingered on her wrist. The teasing light came back into his eyes. “Want to do me a favor?” She nodded ves. “Can you make a plum pudding? With hard sauce, real hard?

Was he teasing her? A coldness swept her. But it was the opened door. The inrush of icy air braced her, clarified her heart, steadied her She was almost the manager again. “Have you everything? Is there nothing I can do except the pudding?” She drew on a coat and followed him out “Sure,” he said, and pulled hind her. “Be here to greet me tomorrow.” They stood close in the niche of shelter. She fought back the desire to pull down his Ips to hers. He should not have her first avowal an act of hindrance. Covington was fig zhting, too her standing lonely there not knowing what he knew.

Tell me.” “IT can show you better,” and he drew her strongly, protectively, to him, while through his consciousness raced a blur of pictures. Life had always asked him why he lived. Now he had the answer. To hold her there, to carry her with him always. Damn Eads. Damn all his promises to return. This was the right thing for him, Dut he would make it gradual She knew enough now.

Through this sea of shadows ran a narrow stream of shining whiteness—an ancient Roman road, covered with snow. It was as if some great ship had plowed through the green ocean long ago and left behind it a thick, smooth wake of foam. Along this open track the travelers held their way— heavily, for the drifts were deep; warily, for the hard winter had driven many packs of wolves down from the moors. “Father,” said Gregor to the leader, “surely this day’s march Is done. It is time to rest and eat and sleep. If we press onward now We can not see our steps; and will not that be against the words of the psalmist David, whb bids us not to put contidence in the legs of a man?’ Winfried laughed. ‘‘Nay, my son Gregor,” sald he, “‘thov hast tripped, even now, upon thy text. For David sald only, ‘I take no pleasure in the legs of a man.’ And so say 1, for T am not minded to spare thy legs or mine, until we come farther on our way, and do what must be done this night.” Winfried turned and spoke to his follow- ers In a cheerful voice, that refreshed them like wine, “Courage, brothers, and forward yet a lit- tle! The moon will light us presently, and the path is plain. Well know IT that the jour- ney is weary; and my own heart wearies also for the hone in England, where those JT love are keeping feast this Christmas Eve... But we have work to do before we feast tonight. For this is the Yuletide, and the heathen peo- ple of the forest have gathered at the thun- der-oak of Geismar to worship their god, Thor. Strange things will be seen here, and deeds which make the soul black. But we are sent to lighten their darkness: and we will teach our kinsmen to keep a Christmas with us such as the woodland has never known. Forward, then, and let us stiffen up our feeble knees!” A murmur of assent came from the men, Kven the horses seemed to take fresh heart. They flattened their backs to draw the heavy loads, and blew the frost from their nostrils aus they pushed ahead. After a while the road began to open out a little. There were spaces of meadow-land, fringed with alders, behind which a boister- ous river ran, clashing through spears of ice. Then the road plunged again into a dense thicket, traversed it, and climbing to the left, emerged suddenly upon a glade, round and level except at the northern side, where a swelling hillock was crowned with a huge oak tree. It towered above the heath, a giant with contorted arms, beckoning to the host of lesser trees. ‘‘Here,’’ cried Winfried, as his eyes flashed and his hand lifted his iy « WMH tl i hit mii sti ii iti) it i Mili, tii} j} HTT iil iT Ty Hin) Wt HiT WH Hy Th hi / ! / ' ME | Wh A | | ih ty Wt Mi tt} Wi fT] f HHH} iit svi iba tii a a diadadiiini hah A a ‘Rpt ann a hte Aditi lh bi hdd HE FIRST CHRISTMAS TREE - ®» ery van vyke ii AA ue’ Cage. ‘S 2%, a : wer" wert; ail! & . n 4 ~ ! £ i ee ah _ AYA: rhe: ae Sf AP ate PAD os ¢ : f me : S ed A 8 oe, eo ?

The only figure untouched by the glow was the old priest, Hunrad, with his long, spectral robe, flowing hair and beard, and dead-pale face, who stood with his back to the fire and advanced slowly to meet the strangers. “Who are you?

But tonight these tattered rem uants of glory were red again: ancient blood- stains against the dark blue sky. For an imn- mense fire bad been kindled in front of the uree, Tongues of ruddy flame, fountains of ruby sparks, ascended through the spreading limbs and flung a fierce illumination upward and around, ‘The pale, pure moonlight that bathed the surrounding forests was quenched and eclipsed here. Not a beam of it sifted downward through the branches of the oak. 1 stood like a pillar. of cloud between the still ligbt of heaven and the crackling, flash- ing fire of earth, But the fire itself was invisible to Winfried und his companions, A great throng of peo- ple were gathered around it in a half-circle, thelr backs to the open glade, their faces toward the oak. Seen against that glowing background, it was but the silhouette of a crowd, vague, black, formless, mysterious. The travelers paused for a moment at the edge of the thicket and took counsel together. “It is the assembly of the tribe,’’ said one of the foresters, ‘‘the great night of the coun- cil. I heard of it three days ago as we passed through one of the villagés. All who swear by the old gods have beeun summoned. They will sacrifice a steed to the god of war, and drink blood and eat horse flesh to make them strong, It will be at the peril of Our lives if we approach them, At least, we must hide the cross, if we would escape death.’’ “Hide me no cross,” cried Winfried, lifting his staff, ‘‘for I have come to show it, and to make these blind folk see its power. There is more to be done here tonight than the slaying of a steed, and a greater evil to be stayed than the shameful eating of meat sac- rificed to idols. I have seen it in a dream. Here the cross must stand and be our rede.” At his command the sledge was left in the border of the wood with two of the men to guard it, and the rest of the company moved forward across the open ground. They ap- proached unnoticed, for all the multitude were looking intently toward the fire at the foot of the oak. Then Winfried’s voice rang out, ‘Hail, ye sons of the forest! A stranger claims the warmth of your fire in the winter night.’’ Swiftly, and as with a single motion, a thousand eyes were bent upon the speaker. The semicircle opened silently in the middle; Winfried entered with his followers; it closed again behind them. Then, as they looked round the curving ranks, they saw that the hue of the assem- blage was not black, but white—dazzling, radiant, solemn, White, the robes-of the There they kindled lights among tts of balsam filled the middle heaven, indeed, thou hast some sign or token from the gods. Caust thou work miracles?” The question came sharply, as if a sudden gleam of hope had flashed through the tangle of the old priest's mind. But Winfried’s volce sank lower and a cloud of disappoint ment passed over his face as he replied: “Nav. miracles have 1 never wrought, though | have heard of many: but the All-Father has given no power to my hands save such as belongs to common man.’ “Stand still, then, thou econmon said Hunrad scorntully, “and behold the gods have called us hither to do, night is the fore the imvonun crosse the unless, nan,” what This death-night of the sun-god, Buldur the Beautiful, beloved of gods and men, This night is the hour of darkness and ihe power of winter, of sacrifice and mighty fear. This night the great Thor, the god of thunder and war, to whom this oak is s&a- cred, is grieved for the death of Baldur, and angry with this people because they have for- saken his worship. Long is it since an offer- ing has been laid upon his altar, long since the roots of his holy tree have been fed with blood. ‘Therefore its leaves have withered beforo the time, and its boughs are heavy with death. ‘Therefore the Slavs and the Wends have beaten us in battle. Therefore the harvests have failed, and the wolf hordes have ravaged the folds, and the strength has departed from the bow, and the wood of the spear has broken, and the wild boar has slain the huntsman. ‘Therefore the plague hag fallen on our dwellings, and the dead are more than the living in all our vil- lages, “None of our usual sacrifices will please the god. More costly is the offering that shall cleanse your sin, tore precious the crimson dew that shall send vew life into this holy tree of blood. Thor claims your dearest and your noblest gift.” Hunrad moved nearer to the handful of children who stood watching the red mines in the fire and the swarms of spark-serpents darting upward. Foremost among them, and most intent on the pretty game, was a boy like a sunbeam, slender and quick, with blithe brown eyes and laughing lips. The priest’s hand was laid upon his shoulder, The — boy turned and looked up in his face, “Here,” said the old man, with his voice vibrating as when a thick rope is strained by a ship swirging from her moorings, ‘‘here is the chosen ove, the eldest son of the chief, the darling of the people. Hearken, Bern- hard, wilt thou go to Valhalla, where the heroes dwell with the gods, to bear a mes- sage to Thor?” The boy answered, swift and clear: “Yes, priest, I will go if my father bids me. Is it far away? Shall I run quickly? Must I take my bow and arrows for tho wolves?” The boy’s father, the Chieftain Gundhar, standing among his bearded warriors, drew his breath deep, and leaned so heavily cn the handle of his spear that the: wood cracked. And his wife, Irma, bending for- ward from the ranks of women, pushed the golden hair from her forehead with one hand, The other dragged at the silver chain about UL deb AM A Ret oeeee a a oe Te Re ts PE ed iA her neck until the rough links pierced her flesh, and the red drops fell unheeded on the snow of her breast. A sigh passed through the crowd, like the murmur of the forest before the storm breaks. Yet no one spoke save Hunrad: “Yes, my Prince, both bow and spear shall thou have, for the way is long, and thou art a brave huntsman. But in darkness thou must journey for a little space, and with eyes blindfolded. Fearest thou?”’ “Naught fear I,’’ said the boy, “neither darkness, nor the great bear, nor the were- wolf. For I am Gundhar’s son, and the de- fender of my folk.”’ Then the priest led the child in his raiment of lamb’s-wool to a broad stone in front of the fire. He gave him his little bow tipped with silver, and his spear with shining head of steel. He bound the child’s eyes with a white cloth, and bade him kneel beside the stone with his face to the east. Unconsciously the wide are of spectators drew inward toward the center, &s the ends of the bow draw to- gether when the cord is stretched. Winfried moved noiselessly until he stood close behind the priest. The old man stooped to lift a black hangmer of stone from the ground—the sacred ham- mer of the god Thor. Summoning all the strength of his withered arms, he swung it high in the air. It poised for an instant above the child’s fair head—then turned to fall. One keen cry shrilled out from where the women _ stood: ‘‘Me! Take me! not Bernhard!” The flight of the mother toward her child was swift as the falcon’s swoop. But swifter still was the band of the deliverer. Winfried’s heavy. staff thrust mightily arainst the hammer’s handle as it fell. Side- wavs it glanced from the old man’s grasp, and the black stone, striking on the altar’s edge, split in twain. A shout of awe and ioy rolled along the .living circle. The branches of the oak shivered. The flames leaped higher. As the shout died away the people saw the Lady Irma, with her arms clasped around her child, and above them, on the altar-stone, Winfried, his face shining like the face of an angel. Che Friling of the Gree Hk old priest crouched by the altar, J silent. Conflicting counsels troubled the air. Let the sacrifice go forward; the gods must be appeased. Nay, the boy must not die; bring the chieftain’s best horse and slay it in his stead: it will be enough; the holy tree loves the blood of horses. Not 30, there is a better counsel yet; seize the stranger, whom the gods have led hither as a victim, and make his life pay the forfeit of his daring. The withered leaves on the oak rustled and whispered overbead. The fire flared and sank again. The angry voices clashed against each other and fell like opposing waves. Then the chieftain Guudhar struck the earth with his spear and gave his decision. “All have spoken, but none are agreed. There is no voiee of the council Keep Ri- lence now, and let the stranger speak. His words shall give us judgment, whether he is to live or to die.” Winfried lifted himself high upon the al far, drew a roll of parchment from his bosom, and began to read ‘A letter from the creat Bishop of Rome, who sits on a golden throne, to the people of the forest, Hessians and Thuringians, Franks and Saxon: ln nomine Domini, sanctae et Individuae trinitatis. amen!” \ murmur of awe ran through the crowd. “Tt is the sacred tongue of the Romans: the tongue that is beard and understood by the wise men of every land. There is magic in it listen!” Winfried went on to read the letter, trans lating it into the speech of the people. ‘*We have sent unto you our Brother Bon- iface, and appointed him your bishop, that he may teach you the only true faith, and baptize you, and lead you back from the Ways of error to ‘the path of salvation. iearken to bim in all things like a father. Row vour hearts to his teaching. ile comes not for earthly gain, but for the gain of your ouls. Depart from evil works. Worship not the false god tor they are devils. Of- fer no more bloody sacrifices, nor eat the flesh of horses, but do as our Brother Bonl- lace commands you. Build a house for him that he may dwell among you, and a church where you may offer vour prayers to the only living God, the Almighty King of Heaven.’ ” It was a splendid message: proud, strong, peaceful, loving. The dignity of -the words imposed mightily upon the hearts of the people. They were quieted, as men who have listened to a lofty strain of music. “Tell us, then,” said Guodhar. ‘‘what is the word that thou bringest to us from the Al- mighty. What is thy counsel for the tribes of the woodland on this night of sacrifice?”’ “This is the word, and this is the counsel,” auswered Winfried. ‘Not a drop of blood shall fall tonight, save that which pity has drawn from the breast of your princess, in love for her child. Not a life shall be blot- ted oul in the darkness tonight: but the great shadow of the tree which hides you from the light of heaven shall be swept away. For this is the birth-night of the white Christ, son of pps pgyrntr gg agate uty TH NAAT TA chin i mel RT Mn wt the All-Father, and Saviour of mankind, Fairer is He than Baldur’ the Beautiful, greater than Odin the Wise, kinder thas Freya the Good. Since He has come to earth the bloody sacrifices must cease. The dark Thor, on whom you vainly call, is dead. Deep in the shades of Niffelheim he {s lost forever. His power ‘in the world is broken. Will you serve a helpless god? See, my broth- ers, you call this tree his oak. Does he dwell here? Does he protect it?” A troubled voice of assent rose from the throng. The people stirred uneasily. Women covered their eyes. Hunrad lifted his head and muttered hoarsely, ‘“‘Thor! take ven- geance! Thor!” Winfried beckoned to Gregor. “Bring the axes, thine and one for me. Now, young woodsman, show thy craft! The king-tree of the forest must fall, and swiftly, or all is lost!’’ | The two men.took their places facing each otber, one on each side of the oak. Their cloaks were flung aside, their heads bare. Carefully they felt the ground with their feet, seeking a firm grip of the earth. Firm- ly they grasped the axe-helves and swung the shining blades. “Tree god!’’ cried Winfried, “art angry? Thus we smite thee!” “Tree god!” answered Gregor, “art thou mighty? Thus we fight thee!” Clang! Clang! the alternate strokes beat time upon the hard, ringing wood. The axe- heads glittered in their rhythmic flight, like fierce eagles circling about their quarry. The broad flakes of wood flew from the deepening gashes in the sides of the oak. The huge trunk quivered. There was a sbud- dering in the branches. Then the great won- der of Winfried’s life came to pass. A strong, whirling wind passed over the tree-tops. It gripped the oak by its branches and tore it from its roots. Backward it fell, like a ruined tower, groaning and crashing, as it split asunder in four great pleces. Winfried let his ax drop, and bowed hs head for a moment in the presence of al- mighty power. Then he turned to the people. “Here is the timber,” he cried, “‘already felled and split for your new building. On this spo! shall rise a chapel to the true God and his servant St. Peter. “And here,” said he, as his eyes fell on a voung fir tree, standing straight and green, with its top pointing toward the stars, amid the divided ruins of the fallen oak, “here is the living tree, with no stain of blood upon it, that shall be the sign of your new wor- ship. See how it points to the sky. Let us call it the tree of the Christ-child. Take it up and carry it to the chieftain’s hall. You shall go no more into the shadows of the forest to keep your feasts with secret rites of shame. You shall keep them at bome, with laughter and song and rites of love. The thunder-oak has fallen, and I think the day is coming when there shall not be a home in all Germany where the children are not gathered around the green fir tree to re- joice in the birth-night of Christ.’ So they took the little fir from its place, and carried it in joyous procession to the edge of the glade, and laid it on the sledge. The horses tossed their heads and drew their load bravely, as if the new burden had made it lighter. When they came to the bouse of Gundhar, he bade them throw open the doors of the hall ang set the tree in the midst of it. They kindled lights among the brancbes until i seemed to be tangled full of fire-flies. The children enciweled it, wondering, and the sweet odor of the balsam filled the house. Then Winfried stood beside the chair of Gundhar, on the dais at the end of the bali, and told the story of Bethlehem: of the babe in the manger, of the shepherds ov the hills, of the host of angels and their midnight song. All the people listened, charmed into stillness. But the boy Bernhard, on Irma’'s knee, folded by her soft arm, grew restless as the story lengthened, and began to prattle softty at his mother’s car, “Mother,” whispered the child, “‘why did you cry out so loud, when the priest was golng to send me to Valhalla?’”’ “Oh, hush, my ehild,’’ answered the mother, and pressed him closer to her side. “Mother,” whispered the boy again, laying his finger on the stains upon her breast. “see, your dress is red! What are these stains? Vid some one hurt you?” The mother closed his mouth with a kiks. ‘Dear, be still, and listen!” The boy obeyed. His eves were heavy with slesp. But he heard the last words of Win- fried as he spoke of the angelic messengers, fying over the hills of Judea and singing as they flew. The child wondered and dreamed and listened. Suddenly his face grew bright lle put his lips close to Irma’s cheek again “Oh, mother!” he whispered very low, “do nol speak. Do you hear them? Those angels bave come back again. They are singing now behind the tree.’”’ And some say that it was true: but others say that it was only Gregor and his com- panions at the lower end of the ball, chant- ing their Christmas hymn: All glory be to God on bigh, And to the earth be peace! Good-will, henceforth, from heaven to men Begin, and never cease. (Copyright, 1928.) thou Latin-American Problems Kacing President-Elect By J. W. T. MASON (Written for the United Press). . HE effect of President-elect Hoover's good- will tour of Latin America will depend not on the contacts he makes, but how those contacts will influence his policy after he enters’ the White House. There ts a feeling among the Latin Americans that the United States reaches oul and takes what it wants in the Western Hemisphere when consideration of foreign policy so require. This suspicion can not be broken by soothing words nor by personal interviews among statesmen. Mr. Hoover’s presence in Latin America is a compliment to which the sensitive southerners will make a response. But they have not in the past allowed courtesy to overcome their convic- tions. The President-elect in this respect has the most difficult task before him any erican Chief Executive has faced at the outset of his administration since Lincoln. There is promise of success, however, in the fact that Mr. Hoover has understood the dangers in the Latin-American situation and has courageously set forth to face them. Practical results count 1n South America as in North America. Mr. Hoover will be able to tell the South Americans that the difficulties be- tween the United States and Mexico have begun to vanish and that the United States is gain- ing Mexico’s good will by doling all it can to fur- ther Mexican prosperity. The same argument will be. more difficult to apply ‘to Haiti and Nicaragua, because armed forces of which Mr. Hoover will be the com- mander in chief after March 4, still dominate those countries. Mexico’s new amity toward the United States has had an effect among. other Latin Americans favorable to the Hoover mis- sion, but Nicaragua and Haiti still are sore points, If, after his personal investigation of conditions in Nicaragua, the President-elect were to con- clude that.the marines have served their full purpose and can safely be withdrawn,'there would | be an immediate reaction of much promise in - the larger countries, to ,the south. , A The suspicion of the United States among Latin Americans its strongest in Argentina. The Argentinians form the wealthiest nation in Latin America. They are developing a sense of interna- tlonal power. They desire to exert an influence on world affairs which they are certain to see realized increasingly in the future. They are es- pecially reluctant to admit any inferiority in for- cign discussiols and insist on the recognition of an equality basis. Mr, Hoover will have bis diplo- matic skill taxea to the utmost in Buenos Aires. In Chile there is still remembrance of the dif- ficulties which developed when America served as arbitrator in the Tacna-Arica dispute. Chile is considerably under the impression that the United Stutes does not understand the Latin- American temperament. Methods of. procedure which are accepted as normal by Americans in the rush of huge industrial expansion and wide- spread money making, have failed when applicd to American diplomacy in Chilean relations. The North American character is thought by many Chileans to be somewhat “rough.” Mr. Hoover may be able to create a different impression. Brazil is the most pro-American of the Latin- American nations. A tradition of friendship for the United States is now of many years stand- ing at Rio de Janeiro There is a more equable attitude toward the Monroe Doctrine in Brazil than elsewhere. This may be due to the sensitiveness of Brazilians to ethe fact that the great unsettled tracts of their country would specially invite for- cign aggression but for the Monroe Doctrine. Finances, too; in Brazil have’ been ipvolved at times in uncertainties The United States has as- sisted” Brazilian finance ‘ministers in generous fashion: and has shown persistent confidence in Brazil's stability. Mr. Hoover will probably get his most satisfactory reactions in Brazil. When he reaches Cuba, the President-elect will discover a strong national sentiment against the Platt amendment, which authorizes American intervention in Cuban affairs whenever Wash- ington considers such a course necessary. Cuba wants the Platt amendment repealed. If that were. to happen during the’ Hoover admit - tion statu¢s would be erected to him in Havana.

To Donohue, and hundreds like him in the Postoffice Depart- ment of the large Middle West city, where so many years ago he had met his Civil Service re- quirements, Christmas was the tormenting sea- som which began early tn December and con- cluded some time after the New Year. When the first flurry of snow began to fly, Donohue could feel his spirits sag. A lump of dread began to form somewhere in his being rp his armpits start to ache as if in anticipa- on. For 35 years Donohue had plowed through a cataclysm of Christmas postcards, greetings, pack- ages, letters and hampers. He had seen the vogue for the Christmas card come in like a great and bellowing lion, roaring its way across the world: Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Man. Donohue hated Christmas. It was a period of torture to him. He staggered along until his fatigue mace his eyebalis and his very heart strain. Ice formed on his face and his lashes stiffened. Housewives opened their doors just 1 inch, so that he hae@ toa poke the letters in one by one, so cold and blustery could the month of Yuletide be. Donohue was something of a character on his beat. Families had lived two and three genera- tions in the old houses that bordered the street on which Donohue made his rounds. Frequently, on the more blustry days, housewives invited him in for a cup of coffee—or, when the heat blistered, for a glass of iced tea. He had seen children on his rounds grow up and have chil- dren of their own. Life marched on around Dono- hue. But, except for the passing of the years, life went on for him at its monotonous pace. Fifty weeks of making his rounds faithfully. He held a record for unbroken service. Two weeks of annual vacation spent on a Ilttle farm just 3 miles out of town. And then back again to the day-by-day; to the day-by-day. ‘There was something of the querulous old bachelor about Donohue, although people said of him that his bark was worse than his bite. He considered it a fallacy that two could live ag cheaply as one and had never married. He lived in a two-room frame house on the edge of the more fashionable district, where he dis- tributed mail. He owned a cat and a smal) blind turtle. His needs were almost as simple as theirs.

By MRS. F. 5B. MORAN. NCE upon a time there lived on the out- O skirts of Boston a poor widow, who had three little boys named Tom, Dick and Herry. Although they were very poor, they did manage to get along, for mother Dinkie’s boys often gave her a little help in one way or another. It was Christmas eve. The snow lay two feet deep out of doors, whilst the frosty winds seemed to c snapping their stiff fingers at the poor, as they blew over its frozen surface. Mother Dinkle threw another stick on her scanty fire to make it more cheerful for the boys while they spread out their thirty little, naked, red toes to the blaze. “I wonder if old Santa Claus will be out to- night,” said Dick, as he picked up a chip from the clean floor and threw it into the blaze. “He won't bring us nothin’ if he do,” grumbled Tom, the eldest of the three boys, who was not In a very good humor. “You'd better shut up, Tom,” whispered little Harry as he nodded his curly head in the direc- tion of the chimney, “or he’ll hear you, and then he won’t bring you nothin’ sure an’ sartain.” “Come boys, come,” rang out the cheerful voice of Mother Dinkle, who was busy spreading out a nice supper of hot potatoes and brown bread on che little deal table in the center of the floor, “Santa Claus ain't never forgot you yit, and he ain’t agoin’ to do it tonight.” “But he don’t never bring us no hobby-horses, en carts, en skates, en wagons, en sich like. He carries ’em to rich folk’s houses,” mumbled Tom. “Now Tom,” said mother Dinkle with a tear glistening in her eye, for she loved these boys dearly, and would have liked them to have every- thing they wanted, “do quit grumblin.’ Old Santa Claus knows what he’s about. He ain’t agoin’ ter bring you no skates, chile, when he knows you Wants a pair of shoes; and he ain’t agoin’ ter bring you no cart, when you ain’t got no jacket on your back.” . “Well,” cried Dick, cheerfully, as he seated him- self on the right of his mother at the table, whilst Tom took the foot, “we is got what no Santa Claus can’t bring us. We is got a good mother as works hard for us, and we ought ter be ashamed to grumble.” Mother Dinkle set down her cup of coffee, and gave Dick a hug, while she swallowed a sob that came nigh choking her, and said: “Come, my boys, eat your good, hot supper and thank God for that! Some of these days yer might be rich folks yerself, en then how would you like ter have ail the poor child’en in the chimney corners "busing of yer, en envyin’ of yer.” A hot potato and a chunk of brown bread soon restored Tom to cheerfulness, so he began to tell the boys that he was going to work hard and give them al] a fine house to live in. In a little while the scanty supply of wood burnt out, end Mother Dinkle hurried her boys to bed, where they could keep snug and warm ‘til morning. Tom wanted to be the first to get up in the morning, so he . sneaked under the cover with- his clothes on. Later, Mother Dinkle folded up her patchwork and came to look at the boys before she went to her own little cot, in the same room. Tom was not asleep, for he had determined to stay awake all night to see old Santa Claus; although he had been told that he was old and ugly, and that waz the reason why he came out at night when the Dinkle — hen she kissed Tom’s ruddy cheek, and d aloud—"TI hope he’)l be a good un when he’s growed up, an’ I won't want fur nothin’ then.’ “fom laid awake all night, and just as he was darted _ were flung out on the floor, and Santa Claus was in the room.

Meetings every Wednesday night through Station WBZ at 7:30, Eastern Standard Time. of two years previous to last October, there lived one of those partridges, or grouse, which from time to time, for some unaccountable reason, establish friendly re- lations with mankind. This grouse — wa: called “Pet” and his headquarters were Ir the woods immediately adjacent to a ceme- tery. The bird was the pet of the ceme- tery workmen and inmates of the city farm It was fed regularly by them. Each morn- ing at 7 o’clock the bird appeared in the cemetery ready for the day’s work. All day long he would walk behina a lawn mower or ride about on the seat of a truck. He delighted to get hold of the leg of a workman’s pants and see how hard he could pull. He would sit on a shoulder of any of the workmen and eat from the hand. Early last October, while the cemetery employes were waiting for a funeral to ar- rive, they heard g shot at the edge of the woods. They made for the spot and were just in time to catch two boys with a gun, but were too late to save the bird. The boys admitted that they knew the partridge was @ tame one, but thought that iney had a right to shoot it because it was a game bird. Of course, the boys could have been dealt with at the hands of the law, but in- stead they were turned over to the parental hands, and parental justice taught them a lesson they will not soon forget. As a part eof thelr punishment, the gun was taken away from them and they were informed [ a certain town in Vermont for a period that their hunting days were over as long as they could not be sportsmen. This incident focuses attention on the subject of boys and guns. Guns in the hands of boys—and when I say guns, I include the pernicious air rifle—are responsible for a tremendous destruction of birds and small animals in this They are responsible for the injury and suffering of an infinitely country.

A Mutual Surprise. An acquaintance of mine went out fox hunting this fall. He had seated him- self on a tussock of grass on a mountainside, where was a run frequently used by foxes. He had waited half an hour without hearing a sound and was just about to give up when in the distance he heard two dogs. His t of vantage allowed him an unobstructed view for a long distance along the mountain, where wood- land end he recognized it as a small deer. dogs. The deer was coming in his direction. is feet. he bounded away with frantic leaps. It was evident that it had been started by the He watched it bound along, enter a brook, wade this for a distance, then come out on the same side and continue its flight. Now a barbed wire fence divided the pasture where the deer was from the place where the fox hunter was waiting. The deer came up to this fence, turned and ran parallel with it. When exactly opposite where the hunter sat, the deer abruptly turned at right angles and leaped the fence. the the hunter bounded to h He realized that had he remained landed on him.

Once in a while a letter came from her with a New York postmark, addressed in her unmistakable angular handwriting, to her mother, Those were the mornings on which Donohue went blocks out of his way to deliver her mail first. For three Christmases Eda had been promising to come home, She never arrived. Mrs. Bodey, with a voice full of sobs, used to confide to Dono- hue that Eda was afraid to come home. Public opinion. Social ostracism. Fear of the smugness of old-time friends. So Mrs. Bodey, who was a narrow, brown little widow, continued to live in her narrow, brown little house, hoping agalnst hope while Christmas after Christmas roared in, and Donohue, whose back was getting rounder and a little more bent and terribly susceptible to the weight of his mail bag, continued to plow through the knee-high snowstorms and the ankle- deep puddles, Now, part of his dread of the Christmas season began to be hig dread of what he felt sure was to be Mrs. Bodey’s annual disappointment. For months before, as he brought her the lettera writ- ten in the angular hand of Eda, her spirits began to soar. Mrs. Bodey had so long ago forgiven. Secretly, in spite of the hopeful tones with which she confided the contents of these letters to Dono- hue, the old mailman felt that Eda would never return. The pretty young bird had flown away and the little brown Mrs. Bodey sat in her little brown house with crumbs tn her hand, figuratively speaking, trying to tempt her back. Eda was too worldly now; too scornful or too afraid of public opinion back home, The thirty-sixth winter of Donohue’s service was the coldest he had ever seen. As early as Novem- ber the trees around the old family streets of his beat were incased in an armor of ice; housewlves had to come out on their verandas with a pan of ice cream salt and sprinkle it on the steps before he could mount them with hig burden of holiday cheer, Great ice tusks hung from Donohue’s mus- tache. The Christmas crucifixion was upon him and his heart strained and his cyeballs strained and peace on earth, good will toward man lay heavily upon his back. That was the Christmas that Eda’s letters came more frequently and with more and more assur- ances and promises of her plan to spend the holi- days with her mother. Donohue, who could be grouchy when asked to hurry with his mail de- liveries, willingly weht the five icy blocks out of his way to deliver her letters to Mrs. Bodey be- cause that year it seemed to Donohue that Mrs. Bodey was failing. Her narrow shoulders seemed to want to meet in front and close like a book. Sometimes, when she opened the door for him, the icy blast alm@gst knocked her backward. Donohue had seen many familiar faces suddenly. disappear from his beat as death mowed them down. For thirty-five years the Bodeys, even during the lifetime of Fred Bodey, who had been a book- keeper, had been Donohue’s best friends on the beat. dal A ais A A jnvttil}iedtAanbbiadasvstdyuststerthiyidadsoett Mis Lae Wy) win! Hille Wi] iid i Zephyr told Tom not to be afraid of these queer fowls, that they would never hurt any one, but were dear kind creatures and worked hard to supply the stockings of all the dear little children down on the earth. As ang led Tom to her henhouse, she told him that he must not think her hens lazy, they did their work faithfully. She opened the door of a nice little bullding and they cntered——here were rows of pretty nests, all made of snow and heaped up with beautiful candy eggs of every color. Tom begged for one, but old Santa Claus shook his head and said, “All of these candics were made for the little children on the earth, that are satisfied with my gifts without looking at my face.” ‘Tom looked troubled and wondered if Santa Claus had heard him on Christmas night. Zephyr whispered, “We are going to send a lot of these pretty candies to the children of a poor widow, called Dinkle, who iives on the outskirts of Boston town.” “Why, she’s my mother,” cried Tom with surprise, “and I want to see her, too,” he added with tears in his eyes. Zephyr did not hh iv latte iki lit. crops. The other is that these mounds he is con- tinually throwing up not only destroy vegetation on the immediate spot, but interfere with culti- vating and harvesting machinery. One of these mounds will contain about a third of a bushel of earth. Occasionally mounds containing seven or eight bushels of earth are found. Thompson Se- ton tells of having seen fifteen fair-sized hills thrown up within 24 hours, apparently by a sin- gle gopher. Scattered with them were 32 so re- cently thrown up that only one inch of their exterior was dry. The aggregate of these 47 hills, thrown up in two days. was not jess than v5 bushels of earth. That gives an idea of the ac- tivity of these little animals. It ts no wonder that the farmer hates them. On the other hand, undoubtedly the farmer is obligated to them to an extent he little dreams of, for their activities in past centuries. They have been a wonderful factor in continually turning over the soil of the fertile prairie regions. ‘Thus the surface vegeta- tion is turned in and worked over and thoroughly mixed with the soll, producing fertility The pocket gopher gets its name irom two large pockets—one on either side of the head. These cheek pockets extend well back and they can open outside the mouth. Furthermore, they are fur-lined. They are used for carrying roots and other forage. The food is stuffed into the pockets by means of the paws. It was long sup- posed, and I presume it is supposed by many now, that these pockets were used for carrying the soil out on the mounds. This is not true, however, according to Seton, who says that the soil is pushed out, not carried out. Because of its un- derground life, the gopher is rather difficult to control. Owls and weasels are his chief enemies. It frequently comes out on the surface after sun- set and at that time may fall a victim to an owl. An Insulted Bird. Some years ago as I was busy making prepara- tions for the night in my camp in the Adiron- dacks, I met for the first time the Canada Jay, or Moose Bird, or Whisky Jack, whichever you please. He was not bashful. He appeared as I was cook- ing an early supper and he unhesitatingly helped himself to such scPaps as he could find about the fireplace, boldly coming to within three feet. After supper the dishes were properly washed and the soap was put one side on a log. A hoarse note drew my attention and there was a world of disgust in that note. I discovered that Whisky Jack had sampled the soap, which was more or less soft from having been in the water for some time. He didn't like that soap. He made it extremely evident. ! have always been rather glad that I did not understand the Jay language.

When he was not too cold and 4c tired and too sick at heart with the long, har@ Christ- mas season, they brought cheer to hinn, these little evidences of the considera.ion ‘and the friendliness of the people whom he serwed. But usually he was too fdog-tired” to halve much capacity left for these things of cheer. ‘The sight of a Christmas wreath in a window was jnathema to him. The rigamarole of mistletoe, of Christ- mas card, of red satin ribbon, or red jpaper bell, of Christmas tree decorated with tinsed, of plum puddings that weighted his back so cjruelly was unbearable. Donohue hated Christmas. On the, day itself, ne drew his shades, put the paraphernalia of the neckties, muffers and shoe-trees well mut of sight and tried to forget it was Christmas. Most of the time he did, dozing pleasantly beside; his cat and his turtle, his aching feet on the fender of the stove, Christmas locked out. On the day before the Christmas (of his thirty- sixth year, Donohue, who had a Ietter for Mra. Bodey, rang her front bell three siticcessive times. There was no answer and so he went around to the side. ‘There in the kitchen, seated in her little rocking chair beside a cold stove with her head slightly forward, Just as if she were dozing, was Mrs. Bodey. But Mrs. Bodey was dead. She/ must have seated herself because of a sudden pai) that had struck her.

It is the thirty-elghth C’hristmas of Donohue's service and his two-room ‘house, as he turns his aching feet toward it, looks as absurd to him as a birthday cake. There are red paper bells in every window and Eda, irrepressible rogue, has decked out the front door knob in red ribbon, anc there is a Christmas tree in the window, freighted with nonsense. To add to his burden, hasn't the ridiculous child sent him 38 Christmas cards, one for each vear of service! And in his own bag, so that he also had to lug it, was a four-pound plum pudding, inscribed with all kinds of funny little nonsense- sayings. 7 You just can’t shut Christmas out of Donohue's house any longer—Eda is there.

Tom laughed till he cried, when he saw the little birds laying out their kiss verses on the snow, tumblinz the kisses into them with their tiny beaks ana then rolling them up carefully. “Now, Tom,” said Zephyr, “we will go down the pond where the black frogs live.” The banks of the pond were strewn with bunches of switenes here were immense Dlack frogs with big green eyes, and when Zephyr touched them with he! wand they croaked, and great bunches of sWitches fell out of their ugly mouths. Tom did not lke this at all, and stepped back with a very ruetu countenance till Zephyr whispered, ‘These switche are to be sent next Christmas to the stockings o: all the bad children.” Then old Santa Claus too Tor. to his storehouse which was kept by a litile boy, named Hail. He was a very fat boy, with ; very red face, and Tom thought he would lin to have a game of snowball with him;. but Santu Claus sald it was growing late and he was obligcu to hurry over to his blacksmith shop. Then Hai: took Tom into the store to show him his prett: things The shelves were loaded with everything that could be made out of sugar—there were suga! roosters, hens, sheep, horses, lambs and rabbit: indeed, everything that a little boy or girl could possibly want. Santa Claus hurried Tom awa\ so he shook hands with Hail and begged him to come to see him. The blacksmith shop was Kept by an old giant, called Bloody Pete. Santa Claus did not like him at all, but he was obliged to keep him, as he could not yet any one else to do his work so well. They drew up in front of the smithery, and Santa Claus threw his reins over a tree near the door and went in Here. were hobby-horses, carts, Wagons, carriages, wheelbarrows, every thing to make a boy’s heart glad. Tom did not like the looks of old Pete, for he had two horns growin. out of his forehead, and eyes in the back part o! his head; so he kept close to Santa Claus’ hecls until the reindeer broke away and Santa Claus ran out to catch them. Then Toi drew near the great firepiace and asked Bloody Pete if there were any other little boys up in Snow Land. “On yes,” said Bloody Pete, with an ugly scowl on hi queer face, “lots of ’em, do you want to see ’em? Tom thought he would like to have a vame with them, so he exclaimed with very bright face, “in- deed I would,” as he followed Bloody Pete to tic back door of his smithery. “Do yo see them lii- tle heaps of snow,” said Bloody Pete, pointing at What appeared to be a graveyard full of little graves, with head and foot-stones of marble. “Yes.’’ said Tom, shivering. “Well, theim’s the graves of all the little boys as comes up here.” Tom thought, as he looked out upon the hundreds of little snow hillocks, that jie would rather go in to the fire. To tell you the truth. he did not like the way old Pete snapped his eyes at him. When Tom went back to the fireplace, Bloody Pete commenced his work again, and as he struck the anvil he kept tune to it by Singing this very quéer song: “When I wants me a good enough I hunts me about for a big fat sinner: And when I finds him I hangs him high, There to stay ‘ta he makes a good fry.” dinner Tom did not like the song any better than thc man, so he thought he would talk a little to kee» him from singing. “Don’t you have nothin’ to eat up here bu: bear’s oil and cracked ice?” inquired Tom tremulousiy. “Oh yes,” said Bloody Pete, stop- ping short in his song. “When I wants anything to eat, | takes a boy by the heels, just so.” Here he turned Tom over on his head and held him by his feet, “and I hangs him over the fire, jis go.” Tom screamed, and old Santa Claus ran into the room. He was very angry, and struck Bloody Pete over the head with his ice cane. Then he put Tom in his pocket and started for home. As they were eating supper that night Tom ventured ‘o ask Sania Claus. “What makes you bury all the boys by old Bloody Pete's smithery?” Santa Claus laughed till he cried, and then told him he must not believe all the nonsense Bloody Pete talked about. Skyola said that these littie graves only burried the present which had been intended for the little children that died before Christmas came. Tom thought of a little blue-eyed sister that had died last Christmas, and was silent. Tom Dinkle had been nearly a year in Snow Land: he had visited all the tin-shops, foundries, tailor- shops, mantua-makers aud upholsterers locate: there, and tt was the night before Christm: + again. Tom heard Saiiu Claus tell his wife to get everything in readiness for him to go down to the earth on Christmas Eve, and also heard him say to her, “I am going to take Tom along with me to hold the reindeer.” He gave Zephyr a peculiar smile—while Tom danced for joy. After they had visited all of the chimneys in Boston, they cam* to widow Dinkle’s cottage.

DECEMBER 23, 1928. Foreign at Washington, a Colorful Occasion, When the Children of Many Horeign Climes Indulge in the Customs of Their Home Lands and Parents Unite in Acclaim of “The Babe of Bethlehem” Mime. Edgar L. G. Prochnik, wife of the Austrian Minister, with her four children before their Christ- mas tree in In every spot where foreign feet may roam, Dear Christmastide still speaks to them of home. ambassadors and their families at Washing- ton rendered a colorful note to public gath- erings by wearing their native dress. The Chinese and Japanese Legations sported their gorgeous Oriental costumes in capital social circles and frequently on the street; the Egyptian and Tark- ish delegates were distinguishable by their head- dress, while other representatives were identitied with the country that they served in the United States by some national characteristics in their attire. But now all of- that is changed. Save on un- usual and exclusive occasions, the outward ap- pearance of the 50 governments represented at the Capital of the United States is thoroughly Anglicized. However, once let the doors of the imposing mansions known as the embassies be closed upon the Western World, and life assumes an intimate and homelike aspect to the family therein, For the foreign world of America is then shut out and they are in truth upon their own territory. The embassies and legations are veritably 60 many plots of foreign soil dotted around under the shadow of the great white dome on Capitol Hill, for they are subject to no American law and absorb very few Amefican customs. At no season of the year are these homes s0 much given over to native customs as at Christ- mas, and as a large percentage of the embassies are blessed with younger children, the observance of the day is especially significant, For Christ- @ias, whether it comes to the sandy, sun-drenched shores of a tropical island or the frozen beauty of the Far North, has come to mean—aside from its religious aspect—a tribute to the beautiful faith, the radiant expectancy of childhood. Wheth- er it is ushered in in solemnity or hilarious gay- ety, it speaks of the homeland to hearts far from home. Affairs are for the time forgotten, red tape laid aside and childhood reigns supreme— a reflection in part of the humblest cottages scat- tered throughout the “old country.” Therefore, to peep behind the curtains of the embassies is to make a pilgrimage to many lands at the most blessed season of the year. a : Atomia> textos The animal must have been well treated by the dead man. This continued for three days during which he sce g Moarp Bt to eat or drink and observed the ap Bhp nang body. Upon hearing the emimal would his departed master, he or@ered that the body be buried and the dog brought to him. This latter command was not now so hard to obey, since it was weak and famished. The animal at once became attached to the king, transferring to him the allegiance it had formerly given a slave It was constantly at his side. A few days afterward, there was a muster of soldiers, these marching in review before the king. Everything passed in orderly fashion for a time. But suddenly the dog, which had been lying quietly at the king’s side, leaped to his feet and began a furious barking, which he directed at certain of Pyrrhus’ soldiers. Following this, he dashed at the men madly, snarling and growling at them and attempting to tear away their garments. At intervals he turned to look at the king as 1f appealing to him to assist in this extraordinary assault. ' King Pyrrhus was at first puzzled, but soon his suspicion was aroused. The review was ordered suspended and the men who had been the object of the dog’s attack were apprehended and placed in confinement. In this day and age it would have taken more than the barking of a dog to cause the arrest of any one on a murder charge. But in those days justice was differently administered. And in this instance it seems to have taken a proper course. Although the evidence egainst them was very slight, the men confessed the killing of the slave. They were severely punished, and the dog had every reason to feel that he had amply avenged his former mastel. Of course, the devotion he gave King Pyrrhus was greater than ever. .

But Mrs. Roosevelt was insistent that the surprise element in connection with the fam- ily’s gifts be held inviolate until Christmas morn, so that all of them were carefully s8e- questered in one big room to which only she and one maid had keys. Because of his devotion to the cause of conservation of natural resources, for two years President Roosevelt would sanction no Christmas tree in the White House, but one year Archie and Quentin, who a few years later was to lay down his life for his coun- try, smuggled one in and_ trimmed it in Archie’s room. Later, when Roosevelt’s con- servation chief, Gifford Pinchot, told the President that the supervised cutting of Christmas greens did not menace the future of the forests, the Chief Executive permitted Christmas trees, which annually were erected in Archie’s room. It was at Christmas balls that ‘‘Princess Alice,” the present Mrs, Nich- olas Longworth, and Ethel Roosevelt, now Mrs. Richard Derby, made their brilliant debut. The jovial Taft was hard at work in his study one Christmas morning when the three newsboys who served papers at the White House timidly asked permission to see the President. ‘‘Of course; bring them in,” was the word sent out, and after they had en- tered and exchanged the greetings of the season with their distinguished customer, one of the trio, to fill in a pause, allowed that all three were pretty good boxers. “That’s fine,’ commented the President, ‘‘Do you box with gloves or bare fists?”’ ‘‘Either!” piped the visitors in chorus, so promptly and earnestly that the then heavyweight Taft shook with laughter.

While the deep spiritual significance of the day is paramount in the French household, it is plentifully mixed with festivity. The French “buche de Noel,” or Yule log, made of oak, is a feature of the French celebration of Christmas, and if it is cut at midnight good luck, say the peusants, wil! follow during the year. Christmas trees are becoming more and more used in France, where they were formerly unknown, but the real feature of Christmas decoration is the “creche,” or manger scene, the erecting of which provides an absorbing occupation for the children. Moss and lichen and twigs cathered from the woods and tiny carved figures are arranged to tell the old, old story, and always there is a great golden of star, called the Christmas lamp. The whole scene is placed on a platform or table and lighted with myriads of tiny candles, which provide a beautiful and shining station before which presents are given and “Noels” sung. In peasant France the feast of “Noel” is celebrated after the midnight mass of Christmas Eve, and festivities are continued from that time until the Feast of the Kings, on January 6 \ IDNIGHT may find a world of hosiery awalt- ° ing for Santa Claus in English-speaking coun- tries, but in Holland as well as France the shoes provide the receptaeles for the generosity of St. Nicholas. And that charmed visit takes place nearly three. weeks before that of the American Santa Claus, as December 6, the birthday Of 6t. Nicholas, sees the real festivities in Holland. On that day 5-year-old Baroness Margeretha van Boet- velaer van Oosterhaut, daughter of the Secretary of the Netherlands Legation in Washington, to- gether With her younger sister, will carefully fill a wooden shoe with straw and place it where it will not fall to catch the beneficent eye of St. Nick.

There may be a Christ- mas tree to dance around, but it will be rather as an added gesture of mirth than an established custom of Mexican homes. But there are sure to be chestnuts aplenty, besides all of the other delicacies dear to the Mexican palate. Spain is not given to celebrating Christmas with a tree.

On Christmas Eve the Spanish family sit down together. but never with friends. for upon that day only bloud relations eat and drink ‘ogether. The customs of Spain are followed iwrgely by most of the fourteen or more Spanish-speaking countries represented at Washington and each country adds a touch of its own provinctal color- fulness to the occasion.

Sometimes the present .is a valuable broovh, wrapped about in layers and layers of the most grotesque coverings, with mottoes and adinoni- tions popping out at every layer. Also, the al- ready fat-to-bursting pigeons in Lafayette Square will have another wonderful feast at the Nor- wegian legation if the accustomed spread : for the birds is given this year. As in most of the European countries, Nor- wegian holiday festivities will last from Christ- mas Bve until Twelfth Day. There are several examples of what might be called “Greely perfection” in the ¢mal) girls and boys of the Greek legation. They are not aware, nor do they care, that in their ancient country many of the Christmas customs of the civillzed world were fostered, and they are glad to substi- tute an American Christmas tree for the pcas- ant children in their native home, who at this season of the year go around from house to house collecting what ts called the “Luck of Christ,” tn the foriui of raisins, figs and walnuts. Winsome lttle Julla, daughter of Signor and Signuora Fernando Cuntberto, of the Italian Hm- bassy, will put one over on the children of some of the other nations when she hangs up her stocking twice—once on Christmas Eve and. again on January 6, “Epiphany.” She may have a Christmas tree, because she has become enamored of them in American homes, but, according to the Italian custom, the Christmas presents will be drawn from the mysterious Urn of Fate. Like all of the Latin countries, the foremost consider- ation of the day is its religious aspect and no child ts too small to be excused from its observ- ance. Fish and macaroni cooked as it is said no foreigner can cook it, are always included in the menu of festive occasion, and turkey {1s @s popular in Lower Italy as it ts in this country. The “presepio,” or manger scene, is always the important feature of the Christmas decoration, and “tortoni,” the Italian candy sold.in all large American cities around Christmas time, is as necessary to Julia's Christmas as the . holly wreaths are to ours. . = . s N the six embassies and legations—Egyptian, Persian, Japanese, Chinese, Slamese and Turk- ish—whose religion is other than the Christian, Christmas is, of course, just another day so far as any significance is concerned. But the spirit that pervades everything at this season is a pe- cullary contagious one and upon these bits of “foreign soil,” as wel) as others, social activities are quickened and good will is the order of the day. The children of the diplomatic circle have long been regarded as one of the most interesting groups of youngsters at the Capital. Children among emigrants from almost every country are familiar sights in almost every large American city, but the children of the foreign ambasadors and ministers represent a very different stratum of society. Many of these children are descended from royal families, and many have grown up to marry into royal families, while a number al- ready have titles of their own. And they are such exquisite bits of childhood. Familiar sights to Washingtonians, as they stroll through the parks with their blue-veiled oF white-capped and aproned nurses, and chattering in their native tongues, or in French, the requisite of every well-educated European child. And their manners are the envy and despair of many an American mother, It wouldn’t be right or just to mention child- nood and Christmas together without paying ea yearly tribute to “Tiny Tim,” the universal Christmas child, who has said, “God bless us every one,”’ down through the years and will con- tinue to do so when all of the entrancing chil- dren of the diplomats, who await Santa Claus, St. Nicholas and Kriss Kringle, are white-haired grandmothers and grandfathers and telling their grandchildren about “when I lived in America.” (Copyright, 1928.) Moneylender Partial to Literary Persons. Paris, Dec. 17 (United Press).—Pitiless Paul is what the business men of Paris call him, but the poets call him Paul the Prince. On the rec- ords his name ts Jean Paul Lefebre and his pro- fession is money lending. Lefebre is brusk and quick in:his movements. The client without adequate security enters and exits faster than the postmasters who used to come to Washington to shake hands with Theo- dore Roosevelt. If you have the security, you sign it over to Lefebre, and he takes it if you refuse to pay him, and his price is exactly three times the money he gives you, or 300 per cent interest. But if you are a poet, a newspaper man, a writer of any sort, well that’s different. The sharp angles of his Shylock manner round into @ Bassanio softness and he talks books and liter- ary shop, offers you a drink and takes you back int> his apartment. There he brings down a large book with a chased bolt and opens it to the title page where you read—‘“Poems of Silver” by Jean Paul Lefebre. To poets his rates are two per cent, three per cent, at most four per cent. There are poets who have come and eaten with Paul, Prince Paw), meals and strong wine, and good talk of songsters from Mistral to Verhaeren. Business men hate him. There ts a case of a shopkeeper who gave as security for a loan of 15,000 francs, his shop, and his household belong- ings, and signed a note agreeing to pay back 40,000 francs. The note fell due, the man did not have the money, and Paul sold him out.

At the conclusion of the hymn the President sang out: ‘‘Merry Christmas, and thank you very much,” to which the singers responded in kind and departed, The Christmases spent. by Woodrow Wil- son in the White House with the first Mrs. Wilson and the second, in spite of impending and actual war, were very happy ones. Baby Ellen McAdoo and the Sayre youngsters con- tributed their meed to the joyousness of the day, the spirit of which, attaches of the Ex- ecutive Mansion say, the Wilsons always en- tered into with zest Since that time there have been no young children in the immediate White House cir- cle. Last year the only guest for Christmas dinner was Attorney General Sargent, and, of course, John Coolidge was home from Am- herst. But the First Family nevertheless spent a busy, happy and fruitful day, In place of a Christmas tree, Mrs. Coolidge in- troduced a note of novelty, founded on an old Dutch custom, by having built in the East Room a vivid representation of the scene of the Nativity. As recently as last Christmas also, Presi- dent Coolidge established what may become a custom of presidential Christmas messages to the American people. He personally penned it ov a sheet of White House note paper and in this holograph form it was is- sued to the press for reproduction through- out the country during the happy season. The message was: “To the American people: Christmas is not a time or season but of mind. Te cherish and good will, $e be plemteous in mesgy, & Pretty soon a light appeared at the > to have the real spirit of Christmas. If we think on these things, there will be born in us a Saviour and over us will shine a star, sending its gleam of hope to the world. CALVIN COOLIDGE. This message was not wholly without precedent, however, for in 1918, a few weeks after the Armistice had ended the greatest war of all time, President Wilson, on the eve of Christmas, sent the following to the American military forces which had so lately concluded their grim task on the shell-torn fields of France: 2. “IT feel a comradeship with you today which is; delightful, as I look about the un- disturbed fields and think of the terrible scenes through which you have gone and realize now that the quiet peace, the tran- quillity of settled hope, has descended upon us all; and while it is hard to be so far away from home, confidently to bid you a Merry Christmas, I can, I think, confidently prom- ise you a Happy New Year and I can from the bottom of my heart say God bless you!” Similar greetings were sent to the disabled veterans of the war by President Harding during his tenure of office. The White House is naturally the destina- tion of innumerable Christmas remembrances quite apart from the gifts exchanged between the First Family and its intimate friends. These cover an almost unbelievable range of variety, but supplies for the holiday feast predominate and arrive far in excess of the executive table requirements. But the real atmosphere of the season comes not from these but from observance of the holiday, wlhicel save for an inevitable official touch here und there, differs not greatly from that uf a typical, comfortably well-fixed American family whose residenve is on Main street instead of at 1600 Pena- sylvania avenue. _..

Melba, the noted Australian prima “donna, expressed the opinion that her clear Me€zZzzZoO-soprano voice possessed a sweetness and 4a forte which, had she not been a royal princess, Would have carried her far on the concert platform. “Princess Mary doubtless inherits her singing voice from the queen, who, when a girl, possessed such a beautiful voice that her mother had it apecially trained by one of the foremost masters of that day, Signor Foli, who was singing master t Enrico Caruso some years afterward. ~Princess Mary will never admit that she can sing or that she is an accomplished musician. But her early music lessons were always a joy to her, and.her practicing was invariably performed with punctilious care. * Unfortunately, her talent for music—both the Plano ad singing—was not always as much ap- preciated by her brothers as it should have been, and there are stories told of mischievous little boys who took up their stance outside the door or under the window of the music room at Frog- more while Princess Mary was practicing her sing- ing. and gave quite a passable imitation of the midnight serenades of cats. But if Princess Mary found unappreciative lis- teners in her brothers—and brothers as a rule find difficulty in seeing talent in sisters—she al- Ways had a courteous audience in her grandpar- ents, King Edward and Queen Alexandra, King Edward's love of music is well known, and when- ever he paid a visit to his grandchildren he always imsisted that at least one evening of his stay should be a musical one. Prince Henry Recited. Princess Mary was always ready to play and sing. "Prince Henry, having no singing voice, would take the stage and recite with relish the one and only piece of poetry which he knew—*The Burial of Sir John Moore.” The present Prince of Wales, however, always hated to indulge in such “parlor tricks.” Since those early days he has become passion- ately fond of modern syncopated music. He has 4 gramophone at York House and buys most of the latest. dance records. - On a recent occasion he wanted an orchestra to play one of his favorite numbers, “My Heart Stood Still.” When the leader confessed that he did not know. the piece the prince whistled it for him. Princes’ Mary’s tastes in music are somewhat different. Although enjoying the syncopated rhythm of today for dancing, she has many friends among the old classics. Her love of the beautiful in art, music and liter- ature finds a reflection in her husband, Viscount Lascelles. The couple’s marriage has been made a happy and contented one by the love which they both have for beauty in everything. In addition, Princess Mary’s life-long preference for. people older than herself—her husband is nearly 15 years her senlor—and her tremendous keenness for hunting, has made her choice of Lord Lascelles as a husband an ideal one. yest + Mii 1 Hii | } ERT TMT GTHRDAR TEE HERO REET wf ada nist durntddvdvviivayoisisnigtnineevaiuantuiteiniaivinetionmannertinnininid titi ire wy i i ‘3 segee eS UU CU tet CHAPTER 12 (FINAL). TANGANYIKA LIONS, FEW days after our arrival in the game dis- A trict Carl Akeley came into camp late in the evening. He had been away all day on a scouting party of his own. I could see he was laboring under some excitement. Almost imme- diately he took me aside. “I have found them!” he exclaimed. Instantly I knew what he meant. “Now you'll believe what I say!” Never had I heard him speak more earnestly. Indeed, I was for starting at once, although I knew it was absolutely out of the question to dare travel in the darkness away from the protec- tion of our campfire. I could scarcely sleep that night. Years before, in New York, Carl Akeley had sat in my apart- ment playing with Kalowatt and talking lions. In his studio in the American Museum I had sat and watched him modeling them. Wherever we were or whatever we discussed he sooner or later prayed that I might some day see with My own eyes. what lions really were. We turned out next morning with the stars still up; velvet night, except where a little of the dawn slipped up over the eastern horizon. -We carried guns; but at Carl’s behest we agreed not to shoot unless absolutely necessary. “TI don’t believe this herd has ever been dis- turbed,” he again declared But still I doubted. For hours we moved across the dry and rocky plain. A blazing tropical sun rolled over the edge of the world and struck us heavily with its rays. Dust sifted up from underfoot and bit like acid into our panting nostrils. We were drenched with sweat. In midmorning we followed Carl up a slight rise and entered a shallow depression between two hills. Suddenly he paused. “Here it is,” he said, and pointed shead. At that very instant I saw a brownish shadow disappear into the grass that fronted a small donga or ravine on our right. We proceeded Soon we saw another lion. He seemed to be passing on a course opposite to ours. He did not even look our way. Did he fall to see us? Or was Carl’s wonderful promise coming true? Then abruptly and without the slightest warn- ing we came upon eleven full-grown lions. I gasped. All of us stopped in our tracks. We had never dreamed of any sight like this. Some of the lions were squatting on thelr haunches; some were crouching; others sitting or lying. Two were taking the air from the top of a five-foot ant hill. One was lazily yawning under a big mimosa tree. All looked our way as we came up; but none showed any more concern than might a Sunday crowd in a Central Park exhibit if two or three more loafers drifted up to enjoy the sunshine. I suppose Carl’s heart was beating like mine a6 we moved slowly forward. We stopped every few feet and made photographs. For we were still not sure how long the beasts would tolerate our presence. We were about a hundred yards from the lions when we first sighted them. little clearing, with only some short grass in 8 patches between us and them. When I set up my Akeley camera and started to grind out film the slight noise of the mechanism caused the animals to prick up their ears. But a moment later all looked away as if to prove we meant nothing in their lives. Up to this point we had spoken only in whis- oes-4 at Lions! rs. itement, I forgot and spoke aloud.

In the group are seen, from left to right, the present Prince of*Wales, who was then a naval cadet at Osborne College; Queen Mary (at that time Princess of Wales); Queen Alexandra, Princess Mary, Czar Nicholas Il of Russia, who later was assassinated by Bolsheviks at Ekaterinborg; the British Princess Royal, King Edward VII with the Russian Csarevitch at his knee; the Czarina, King George V (who was then Prince of Wales), and the four daughters of the Czar and Csarina, all of whom were slain at the time their parents were killed in Siberia. “Isn't it fortunate,” she sald to a friend just be fore her marriage, “that, belng so fond of hunting, I am going to marry a master of fox-hounds?” Is Counterpart of Mother. After Princess Mary’s first state appearance at the coronation of King George and Queen Mary, she returned once more to the schoolroom and the care of her governess, Mile. Dussau, who has since died at her home in France to the gricf of Princess Mary. Princess Mary’s education was practically Ident! cal to that which the queen herself had recelved from her own governess, Mme. Bricka. To those who knew mother and daughter over a period of years, the resemblance in the two characters was pronounced. Even today Princess Mary is a replica of what her mother was at the same age.

Perhaps one of the most tmportant parts of the education of the royal children was their religious training. When her children were quite bables Queen Mary herself taught them to say thelr prayers. Whenever they were with her and up to the age when they were no longer quite children she visited them at bedtime to hear their prayers and sometilines to read a chapter from the Bible to them.

Then he walked up to a big male that was sound asleep and snapped at one of the paws waving in the air. With a roar of surprise and anger, the owner of the paw sprang to his feet ready for anything. But when he saw he hac been tricked he yawned widely and rambled grumbling away to lie down again and complete his nap. The joker walked on among the other ten lions, waking up one after another, until the lit- tle glade rang with growls and snarls of irrita- tion. He paid no attention to us even when he got among the four right in front of where we stood: Finally, he lay down beside a sleeping lioness and began to torment her. The poor lady wanted to sleep, but he kept right on mauling and mouthing her until she simply had to sit up and maul back. After a few minutes of this both quieted down and began affectionately licking one another. About this time the biggest lion of the bunch, who had been sleeping with his legs in the alr, got slowly to his feet and stretched, yawning a yawn so large that we all wanted to yawn too, He walked over to another spot and flopped himself on the ground so hard that he gave a loud grunt as if he had knocked the wind out of himself. Not wishing to take ivantage of the magnan!- mous indifference of the lions we backed off and found a big mimosa tree some distance away where, sheltered from the heat of the high blazing sun, we sat and lunched. For four long happy hours We '*v about and talked lions. I had never seen Carl Akeley so elated. He was overjoyed to think he had at least proved to me lions will not molest a man if not molested first. Little did I think it was the last long talk I should ever have with this great man. “This valley has probably never been shot over,” he said. “Notice how sleek and well-fed these fel- lows are. Probably they hunt in packs and have no trouble i getting all the food they want.” He paused for a moment of reflection. Then he add- ed: “They have never been whipped; no wonder they’re afraid of nothing on earth.” I was out next morning at daybreak with fresh film and porters ready to visit our Lion Valley again. But Mrs. Akeley reported that her hus- band had a high fever and could not go. On el- tering his tent I could see he was a very sick man. He seemed to have a presentiment he would nefer get well. He didn’t. He said: “Go ahead, Martin, and play the game with the lions and they will play the game with you. Get all the data and the pictures you can; then tell the world about it. I want the world to know how unfair it is for sportsmen to slaughter large numbers of lions simply to get a big pot.” Carl’s illness gave Osa her chance to go with me. She had been nearly frantic with curiosity after hearing our story of the lions who didn’t mind men. She dressed quickly and we set off at top speed along the trail to our Garden of Eden. At first we came on only single animals and pairs. But about 9 o’clock we suddenly found fourteen scattered about near the spot where we had seen the group the day before. I turned and watched Osa’s face. It was worth coming all the way down to Tanganyika to see it light up. She held her breath at first; and her voice shook with emotion when she exclaimed: “I never dreamed I should see anything so beautiful in this world!” Cameras were made ready as before, and porters sent back so we should not seem too big a body to the animals. Slowly we moved toward the lions, who watched us curiously. This time they were more restless and alert; perhaps because the day was cooler. As a result the situation was so dangerous that it needed but a few bounds from the nearest of the powerful cats to finish us off. Of course we had two guns; but as I was busy with the cameras, Osa held the only rifle that was ready. After we got so close we could not make decent pictures by reducing the distance we began to use different cameras and lens combinations to be sure we had recorded all the times of this un- precedented scene. The lions kept moving around too. Once two stood on their hind legs and wrapped their fore feet around one another as they pretended to fight. They roared and swayed with a most ter- rifying reality as they went through the mock combat. One walked to a tree where, standing on his hind feet, he sharpened his claws on the trunk. One picked up a small stone in its fore paws, and tossing it into the air, played with it as a kitten will play with a ball of yarn. Several were busy taking their morning baths by licking their fur exactly as a cat would do. One seemed to have a thorn or chigger in his toe. He spent half an hour trying to get it out. I thought of the fable of the man who took the thorn from the w and of the way he was repaid by the have the nerve to try it. of thing, Osa sudden- motioned violently behind us. that three more lions had come | and were TOTOPRLEVOTTRAABONT ET | Perey PPA PTET TPPANHL TNT Tt ML UM OL TUREALILLLL CLL PHATE inet yi LMEDAETEL RTH PHT ETL ne ige aPers tits can beapn pra enuad Mharnatelt Hahieiet niin ty vidas thangs eet il At HAY Al Hi j tit Ht!

About 11 o’clock the animals began drifting down to a nearby donga for their noonday slesta out of the sun. ._ Soon we were left alone, safe and unharmed, We returned to the shade of the big mimosa tree where our porters were waiting. The natives treated us almost as if we were gods. ‘They hail seen us surrounded by lions and could not under- stand for the life of them why we were not at- tacked. After ITunch and a short nap Osa went out and shot a zebra. We hoped we could get the lions to focus more in one spot and give us even better pictures than we had taken, so the boy dragged the zebra to a point close to where we had last seen the lions. Then we sent them back out of the way while Osa and I moved up close to the careéass with the cameras. About 5 in the evening an old grandmother lioness came out and sniffed at the dead zebra. But apparently she was not hungry, for after in- specting it well with her nose she lay down beside it and went fast asleep. I never knew lions were such sleepy animals. Now a young lion: came up and the lonessg left. He rubbed against the zebra and purred; then he lay down beside it until the lioness returned. This time she decided she wanted to be left alone. She lashed her tail and growled, telling the young fellow, who was probably her son, to get away, which he promptly did. But she in turn was soon ousted by a big lion which I took to be her husband. It was getting late and we were ready to go home when another big lioness came along. She soon showed she was itn no mood for social amenities. She sighted us at a distance of about # hundred yards and at once came bounding to- ward us. We retreated quickly to show her we didn’t want to interfere. ‘The minute we moved she stopped and lashed her tall angrily. Then She came on again. Once more we retired and she followed. Of course we could have shot her. We had our rifles all ready in case she made it necessary for us to resort to them. But we did not wish to shoot and spoil the wonderful adventure of Liou Valley. . Finally she seemed to realize that we were de- termined to get out of the way if she would on!y glve us the chance. I think the trouble was simply that she had seen us hanging about her diggings all day and was tired of our presence. Four times we stopped and four times she cume at us, then lay with lashing tail and watched us while we ran. Meanwhile in the distance we could sce other lions who had left the chasing entirely to the lioness. I will say she made a good job of it, as we didn’t have the nerve to go back. We paid a number of other visits to the place: and we studied lions at close range to our heart's content, filming them until bankruptcy threat- ened my celluloid supply. Never was there a tragedy; and not a lion were we compelled to kill. So it was that I became a convert to Carl Ake- ley’s creed: ‘The lion is a sportsman and a gen- tleman; he attends to his own business, and will leave you alone as long as you will leave him alone.” Our four years were drawing to a close. On our last Christmas at the lake Osa lighted her Ittle Christmas tree and the candles seemed to shoot thelr beams out over the desert from the roof of the world. For the boys we had a barbecue of roast ox, ald doled out khaki cloth and cigarettes after dinner. For ourselves Osa and Phishie prepared a great feast. We had sardines for hors d'oeuvres, a soup from tomatoes in the garden. “Tommy” (Thompson's gazelle) steaks, roast spurfowl, string beans, alligator pears, apricots, black cran- berry sauco, Olives, raisin biscuit—Osa’s spe- clalty—sweet potatoes, native coffee, floating island pudding of which we never grew tired, pecans and Nairobi cigars. After dinner we watched the boys dance and chant, while the flames lighted up the lake and the vine-clad cliffs, their orange red lances plerc- in the aisles of the forest far beyond the boma. We felt a little happier, I think, for not having neglected Christmas. Two particularly distressing incidents happened in our last year that really have no place in a tale of Africa; but both of which belong in a tale of the ups and downs of our strange and varied life. The first one was an accident to myself. Every day we had been hearing elephants trumpeting across the lake, breaking down trees as they fed, and yet had not been able to get a good flashlight picture of the herd. So I decided to set up my apparatus across the lake. Usually I had two flash cartridges, but this time, wanting a big picture, I used sixteen in nests of two each. Now, we were always very careful about step- ping on the near side of the wire. The scent of animals is so powerful as to seem uncanny; for hours after you have set foot near a spot they will catch your scent. This is particularly true of the forest, where there is no.sun ‘to destroy the completely sur- brother, Princess Mary uneapectediy added a rider to her prayers to the effect that she hoped (od would soon restore the dismembered doll to complete health. At Frogmore the queen saw to itt that the Princess Mary had a lesson in Scripture every inorning before breakfast. She also had to read at least one chapter of her Bible. Later one of the sub-deans of the Chapel Royal took care of the princess’ religious instruction and prepared her for confirmation. Confirmed by Archbishop On March 17, 1913.

I began to picture the lockjaw which had at- tucked the boy. For this we had no serum in cainp and were hundreds of miles from any sur- geons. What worried me most was that the kero- sene lamp the boys had lit gave out, for me, only the faintest and dimmest of glows. Outside of its little circle, which revealed no objects to me, the rest was utter darknesr At last I heard voices and steps -then a very familiar voilce—Osa’s. She had heard the report of the eight times double charge of the flash cart ridges, back in the woods, but at first thought it thunder. Then, seeing the stars through the trees, she had become worried and hastened with Ndundu back to camp There she had met the boys with scared faces, crying, “Bwana has had most awful accident.” Perhaps she expected to see me dead; anyway, I must have been a horrifying sight to a white woman. ‘They told me afterwards that I was black from head to foot and all blisters, the seared flesh showing even through the great burns in ny clothes. Poor Osa came running tuto my room, nearly in hysterics. ‘The first thing she asked me was: “Can you see?’ I said, “Yes.” But she didn't believe me; she held up two fingers and asked me what she was doing. It was lucky she held them up so they were silhouetted against the light, as | could barely make out her hand, and that with one eye only. She then proceeded to take off all the un- guentine with which I had had the boys smear ine. Assisted by the boys and John Wilslusen, who was with us, she worked over me until after midnight, using permanganate of potash. After they had cleaned my skin as much as possible of the powder, they put unguentine on again, By that time the burns were beginning to pain ful force. There is no use going into detalls. - In three days I could see a little out of my right eye, but not out of the left for two weeks more. [t was only through Osa’s nursing that I escaped the fate of the black who had died from lockjaw. {t recall the first day I could sit up in bed. |] asked for a mirror. Goodness what a shock I got when I looked at myself! My nose had been knocked off to one side out of true. My left ear looked like a piece of cauliflower. I hadn't a hair ’ left om my head; eyebrows and eyelashés goue. But worst of all my entire head down to niy neck was black with the powder that had pene- trated the skin. I had heard of miners being dis- figured for life this Way; and decided that the same thing had become my fate. But after a few weeks the skin came off, the black with it, and now I have practically no marks left. The other misfortune to which I refer was the death of our little Kalowatt, the ape whoiw we loved like a child. It happened when we went down to Nalrobi to meet the Eastinan-Pomeroy party. No one ever had a nicer pet than this little ape, which was just a ball of fluff, little larger than a man’s fist. She was more intelligent than any other animal I have ever seen. She was affection- ate, and loved everybody that knew her. She had traveled all over the world with us and was the only animal that I have seen that could laugh. Once I had been offered two thousand dol- lars for her; but I would not have taken two million. I was in the Norfolk Hotel at Nalrobi and had just gone out into the lobby to talk with Philip Percival who was also waiting the Eastman party to act as big game hunter. While sitting there I suddenly saw Osa running towards me. “Kalowatt has got out of our room and is on the roof!” she exclaimed. Now Kalowatt as a rule would obey our com- mands. But I suppose she had been cramped up in our room so long that she welcomed the op- portunity to stretch her legs. As I was busy, I didn’t go out, but let Osa see what she could do to overtake the little rascal. Kalowatt ran across the roof, Jumped into the trees in front of the hotel and played about with a large audience of natives looking on. She always loved a crowd before which she could show off. From where I sat I watched her for a while and thought there was no danger of her running away. Finally she left the trees, Jumped on the roof again and ran across the building to the back of the hotel out of my sight, Osa following. In a few minutes Osa came back, “My -God!” she cried, “I have just.scep Kalowatt elec- ‘ Herter t eeitae at iit ; Prine j iii? ‘ ay Pet Wye / tht Mid " i halt WT a | iyhitlidlt sia Heth; itt THEE nti iil vil | LUA ' Ha eucitg tata " He tall i hi " me } } { the Archbishop of Canterbury in the splendor ot his embroidered cope. A few feet behind the princess knelt the king and queen—the king in morning dress and her majesty in silver-gray. In the pews behind gathered other royalty and a distinguished company composed of personul friends of the royal family. Gently the archbishop asked the little princess the questions as laid down in the order of con- firmation. “Do you here, in the presence of God and of this congregation, renew the solemn promise and vow that was made in your name at your baptism?” Softly the princéss gave.the reply, “I du.” As Princess Mary passed over the bridge be- tween childhood and girlhood she acquired a new and charming dignity. In some quarters there has been an erroneous impression that the princess was inclined to be unruly between the ages of 10 and 16. ‘That ts quite untrue. She was then a happy and carc- free, but most affectionate, child. After being presented about that period to Princess Mary, Herbert H, Asquith, who later be- came Britain’s wartime premier and who was still later created the Earl of Oxford and Asquith, paid this truthful tribute: “She has that shy, girlish charm which leaves with one an impression of nervous pleasure and fatherly respect.” At 16 Princess Mary did most things that girls of that age do. Perhaps her greatest pleasure was in her first pony, a present from her father. She delighted to groom and feed the pony in its stable at Frogmore. Today Princess Mary is one of the most promi- nent figures in the hunting field, and hunting is now her favorite sport. Realizing that Englishwomen had the reputa- tion of being fine horsewomen, Princess Mary dec- cided whew she became possessor of her first pony that she would become proficient in all branches of the equestrian art. It would be incorrect to say that all the royal children were brought up in the saddle although all were taught to ride. Princess Mary and the Prince of Wales took to riding like the »roverbial ducks to water. But there was some slight show of nervousness on the part of Prince Henry anid Prince George when first called upon to place foot in stirrup. However, the sisterly raised eye- brow and amused eye turned two unwilling voung princes into excellent horseme)i. As David (the Prince of Wales) reimarked at the age of 12, after Frincess Mary had performed some service for him: “TI don’t think much of girls, but sisters have thelr uses.” Was Devoted to Umbrella. The years which saw Princess Mary grow from childhood to girlhood were, for the most part, Vears of work, of simple living and of strenuous tudy, not only in the usual branches of learning, bot in all those perhaps more difficull social sraces and ceremonial traditions Mortunately for herself, Princess Mary was an excellent scholar who found not the slightest dif- ficulty in keeping up with and, in some classes, ahead of her elder brothers. She had also all the natural and healthy child’s love for games and port of all Kinds, and at a very early age de- veloped a desire for knowledge and cultivated a love for books, which not only helped her in her j { } '!

Our luck with Lhe lions and elephants had been such that we all felt reasonably satisfied with the film we had zot. So we decided to return to America with what we had.

This was her fondness for umbrellas in general and one umbrella in pat- ticular. To the latter. a large and not very hand- some possession, she became so attached that her brothers would jokingly refer to it as- “Mary's twin,” :for, unless actually forbidden, wherever the princess, went the “twin” went, too, and not all the good-natured ragging of he: brothers could make Princess Mary relinquish this treasured possession toys Taught Needlework, Too. Like her mother, Princess Mary has always chown great fondness for needlework. Today she personally superintends every detail of her small sons’ wardrobe and frequently makes many of their garments with her own bands. So, too, in the days when she was the adored sister of a family of little brothers, her needle was seldom ‘idle in. the cause of charity or in making clothes for her dolls, of which she had a fine collection. Under the careful tutelage of Mme. Bricka, Princess Mary learned all those arts and crafts which form the foundation of the education of a young girl. When very young Princess Mary’s brothers were also made to take up a needle, to their great dis- gust. The queen still treasures certain creations in vivid reds and blues which were the fruit of- much labor on the part of her ¢hiidren. Queen Mary. who has always interested herself actively in’ her needlework guild, found an in- terested and cager helper in ber only daughter. As far back as 1910, in the piles of garments— numbering over 15,000—contributed by her maJ- esty there, were many which had been made by Princess Mary. That the work was not done with- oul earnest effort and self-sacrifice was shown by the queen herself, who on one occasion remarked smilingly, when complimented on the beautiful work of Princess Mary, “Yes, they are good—but I am afraid that they cost some tears in the making.” The Stitch That Failed. Maere is a story told concerning the quickness of Princess Mary with her needle. On one occa- sion, after a tea party at which all the royal chil- dren had been present, little Prince Albert (the Duke of York) discovered that he had badly dam- aged his sailor sult. In the roya] nursery torn clothes were frowned upon, and the little prince at once visualized what might follow. In his dilemma he turned to Princess Mary and, taking her into a corner, re- vealed to her what had happened. As usual, she lost no time in taking the initiative. “Quick, Bertie,” she commanded, “hide behind that curtain tlll I get a needle and cotton. T’'ll mend it for you and no one will ever kncw.” Unfortunately, the powers that be had sharper eyes than the little princess had thought. The hastily stitched garment was noticed and ques- tions asked. Neither history nor rumor, however, reveals the denouement. (To be continucd.)

By means of the win- dow shutter he threw himself on the pavemeut below, and was just going to run in the house When Zephyr stood in front of him with her snow-white wings, and a wand in her hand. “Come, Tom,” she said kindly, “I am not goliuy to keep you from going in your home, for I reall\ love you dearly, and if you will tell all the little children to keep asleep on Christmas Eve, I won’t tell old Santa Claus, who is climbing up the chimney now, to take you back to Snow Land.” Tom promised. She touched him with her wand. and his bear-skin clothes flew up tnto the clouds, and his little patched sult was on him in a moment. “Tow,” said Zephyr us she kissed him good-by, “here are three freckled pullet eggs. You must break them all before the clock strikes 4 in whe morning, and when you are a rich man you must remember that Santa Claus sent these eggs to three very poor little boys that he loves as much as he does the sons of rich men.” Then Zephyr went up in a white cloud, and Tom ran quickly into the house, for he heard old Santa Claus cry out, “Up, Dancer; up, Prancer,” as the reindeer flew over the snow. Tom opened the door noise- lessly and peeped in. Yes, there was his mother asleep on her little cot, and Dick and Harry snor- ing in their bed. He stole up to his mother’s bed- side and whispered: “I am home again, mother.” She was awake in a moment, and seizing Tom, hugged him and kissed him, with tears of joy in her eyes as she cried out, “I knew you would come back to me, my own dear boy.” All of this noise waked up Dick and Harry; they sprang up and, after hugging and kissing Tom, Dick seized the hat in which Tom had placed his eggs and swung it around his head crying out, “Hip! hip! hurrah! Tom's at home again.” But, lo! something fell to the floor with a jingling noise. “Oh, my eggs! my eggs!” exclaimed Tom when he saw the broken, shell of one lying on the floor, “what shall I do?’ The other two eggs were picked up qulte un- harmed, but all over the floor were little gold fates which the children piled in heaps on the table. Mother Dinkle was frightened almost to death, for she feared Tom had stolen this money, but he kissed her and told her ail about his trip to Snow Land, and Zephyr’s present of the pullet eggs—so she became more quiet. Then Tom got the poker to break the other eggs; he crackod ope carefully, and there lay, a nice little note, closely tolded, and ou it was written, “For Widow Dinkle’s contented boy.’ He broke the seal and read the following note’ “If Dick Dinkle will look ulder the big stone in the back yard he will find u gold mine: give freely and it will be inex- haustible.” Dick seized his mother, gave her ua rousing Kiss, hugged ‘Tom and Harry, and then exclaimed wildly, “Hurrah! lurral! 1'U make ver wll rich, every one of yer.” “Wait awhile.” said Tom, disengaging himself from his brother’s em- brace, “there’s some mo’ writin’.” “The money in the blue speckled egg is for little Harry, who believes 2 a Sante Claus for the poor.” — As ‘Tom ceased reading, Harry seized the broken eggshell lying on the floor, eved it closely, and then began a series of the most remarkable capers, exclaiming, “I’m so rich I dunno’ what to do: now, the other egy must be Tom's.’ He glaiiced snaiously toward hira, but Tom was soon busy reading oul the reimainder of the strange epistle: “If Tom Dinkle will use the spade in the brown freckled egg, to dig the gold out of Dick’s mine, he nay share equally with his rich brother. Hard work gives us no time to grumble at more fortu- hate people, and labor accomplishes all things.” lt had taken Tom some time to spell out all of these notes, and when he finished, Harry ¢ex- claimed, “I’m sure old Santa Claus must er heard you last Christmas when you was grumblin® ’bout the rich folks.” “Well,” said Mother Dinkle, see- ing a disappointed expression still lingering on Tom's face. “Tom is got the best present. Money makes us a heap happier ef we works fur it.” While they were discussing their good fortune the clock struck 4. Ton. remembered whut Zephyr had said to him and made haste to break the other egg, but it was too late. ‘To their hor- ror the boys saw it slowly rise from the table and disappear in a white cloud. Tom began to cry, but both of his brothers threw their arms about his neck and declared they would get a spade for him. as soon as the day broke with Harry's gold dollars. “That's right boys,” cried Mother Din- kle, “help one another en the Lord’ll help you. Tom's had quite ’nui luck for one night anyway. I hope my boys will allers help the poor with their money if they gits it, en miake ‘em com- fortable like.” Dick did find a mine under the stone in the back yard, and Tom helped to work it until he and his brothers were very rich men. After a while they built a palace, and brought home, three pretty Jiitle ,wives to help Mother Dinkle to keep it. , e,. ’ . ’ ‘ CA ee Che Es BREE ee Sr? t= ee gOS 28 ee Sa ite nk ae 2 et Dat tina » Fee eRe ey

Maryland, on which President-elect Hoover is visiting South America. By HARRY GOLDBERG. HEN Herbert Hoover, following his election W as President of the United States, an- nounced the plans for the South American trip, he made a decision unprecedented in Ameri- can history. And he unconsciously directed at- tention to the fact that he will be the first Ameri- can President who is a cosmopolitan. Other Chief Executives have been abroad and have known England and the continent. One handled official business in the Orient. Several have been as far south as the Caribbean and an- other was a Minister to Colombia. Theodore Roosevelt penetrated into Africa and down into the Brazilian River of Doubt. But Herbert Hoover will be the first President to know the world. He has been at home in the farthest places of the globe. Both the Occident and the Orient have been his dwelling place, and his Latin-American voyage will round him out as the complete cosmopolitan. In compounding the views of statesmen of vari- ous nations during the war, in reconciling the views of capltalists of different nationalities dur- ing his business career and in bringing together the clashing views of various States, he has de- veloped a mind above local prejudicies. When he assumes the greatest office in the world on the 4th of March, 1929, he will understand through first-hand contact how changes in crops and round-ups, weather and tariffs may affect the prosperity of the American farmer and the city workers. e . oo v | te IS not generally recalled that we had another President besides Mr. Hoover whose experience had fitted him to understand the Oriental mind as well as nations of our own type of civilization. He is the champion globe trotter of all—William Howard Taft, now Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. From his boyhood days he was a great traveler, and his official duties on behalf of the United States enabled him to give free rein to this tendency. In the nine years intervening be- tween his appointment as Philippine Commissioner and his inauguration as President he travéled more than 200,000 miles, which included a com- plete cicuit of the earth. Taft went four times to Manila, five times to Panama and twice to Cuba, touching at Porto Rico. Of course, his Eastern travels included Japan. On one of his journeys Taft met the mikado, had an audience with the czar in Bt. Petersburg after riding through Siberia and just missed the kaiser in Berlin. While President, Taft made what was then the longest tour of the country ever made by a man He undertook a 13,000-mile jaunt frorn ocean to ocean and from the northern border down to Mexico. ’ Since those days Mr. Taft has continued his traveling. He was in England not so long ago and he spends his summers in Canada. Next to Hoover and Taft, President Grant was obably the best-traveled Chief Executive, But rant’s journeys to foreign countries followed his term of office. and was a grand tour, in which he practically circumnavigated the globe. When he departed from America on May 17, 1877, ere was a great demonstration, both _ eivilian’and military; the steamships in the harbor were decorated with colors, and he sailed for Eng- - land in a@ burst of public adulation, His trip of two years and four months was one long triumph of such a demonstrative character _ that it is probable that no emperor or king in the history of the world was the recipient of such continuous homage. ae >, ai, ‘e ‘Queen Victoria and the Prince of Wales enter- His entrance into England through Liverpoo) ted his departure from New. York, and receptions from the public and royalty were given him on the continent, and Gen. Grant left Europe on the United States man-of-war Van- dalia, going east through the Mediter- ranean. In India he landed at Bombay, then stopped at Burma, Malay Peninsula, Siam, Cochin-China, and then, land- ing at Hongkong, went into the in- terior of China. At Nagasaki, Grant was entertained by the mikado and the Japanese court, and when he re- turned to the United States on the Pacific Coast the world-wide demon- strations in his honor were repeated. He also visited Cuba and Mexico be- fore his travels ended and he settled down at home. . * « . B bresnng QUINCY ADAMS rates high as a globe-trotter, He had advan- tages of birth and a period of history denied to other Presidents. His father, John Adams, took the boy to France when he was a mere child, and he was educated in Paris, Amsterdam and Leipzig. When Quincy was 14, Francis Dana, appointed American Minister to Russia, invited the youngster to go as his private secretary. He was in Eastern Europe only a few months, then rejoined his father in Holjand. When he was grown to the stature of a statesman he was a minister himself, Washington having ured his father, then President, to appoint the son Minister to Russia, and Quincy Adams was stopped in Prussia by the Government to negotiate a treaty. While he participated in momen- Lous events in the early history of his own country, he was also a witness to the dramatic return of Napoleon, and lived in Paris during the fateful “hundred days.” The lack of rapid transportation was a handicap to travel in those early days, and it is interesting to note that the first six Presidents of the United Btates never saw the Mississipp! River, Jackson being the only one up to his time who had been that far West. Lord Dewar, of Whisky Firm, Gives His Favorite Epigrams of hearing and trying to memorize Lord Dewar’s famous epigrams. Lord Dewar, who is a wealthy bachelor and director of the famous whisky firm that bears his name, Ras Occupied a suite of rooms in the Savoy Hotel for nearly 25 years. Recently he supplied the Evening News with a list of his favorites among the thousands of witty sayings he is credited with originating. These appear under several headings, the first being about life: Life is made up of trials, with an occasional) conviction. To some r_others, life is Just one darn stock- ing after another. Every man has a black and white side of life. Most men are believers in heredity until the son makes a fool of himself. Man reaps what he sows, unless he be an ama- teur gardener. Four-fifths of the perjury of the world. is ex- pended on tombstones. Providence never intended us to be equal ex- cept when we are asleep. . On the subject of matrimony, Lord Dewar says: Wreck on Permanent Wave. No man is so good but a good woman can make him better, A golden wedding is when a couple ,have gone fifty-fifty,. C= Marriage 1s a great institution—for those who like institutions, Many a bachelorship has been wrecked on a permanent wave. Marriage is a committee o1 two--with add to their numbers. There are .nore Mormons in London than in Salt Lake City, but their wives don’t know it. nouncements on divorce follow his mar- riage observations: I ONDON, Dec. 22 (U.P.).—Londoners never tire power to Hivorce is a great institution: it keeps women in circulation If husbands went everywhere their wives told them to go, there would be fewer divorces but more widows. Dewar’s philosophy of life shows in the follow- ing bits of wisdom: A philosopher is a man who can look at an empty glass with a smile, It is much better to have a few hundreds in the bank than millions on the brain. Women’s Place in Channel, No gentleman has ever heard your story before. To achieve disarmament build battleships by public subscription. A man’s reputation is that which is not found out about him. It seems to me that woman’s place is no longer in the home; it is in the Channel. A man who hides behind a woman’s skirts to- day is not a coward; he is @ magician. When a man says his word is as good as his bond—get his bond We have been told that man is the noblest work of God, but nobody ever said s0 except Man. It is a wise wife who laughs at her husband’s jokes. Poets are born, not paid. The road to success is filled with women push- ing their husbands along. _ It is not so much what a man stands for as what he falls for. ° Lookiug at the world today, Lord Dewar has observed: There are no idle rich; they are all dodging people who want their money. Motor cars are increasing by leaps and bounds— pedestrians are surviving by the same process, “Adam's Rib,” a smal] part that has developed we a loud speaker. e one thing that hurts more than income tax is not having to pay income Fs gift?

He made his interest in learn- ing a service to his fellow countrymen. Like Ben- jamin Frankiin, he was devoted to science, In France he knew the ablest men of letters and men of science. When Buffon, the great natural- ist, expresseq the theory that animals had degen- erated in America, Jefferson hastened to send bones of the moose, caribou and elk. Buffon, after examining th» specimens, decide“ it was necessary for him to revise his theory. When he traveled, Jefferson:collected books for American colleges, accounts of new inventions and discoveries and sent home seeds, roots and nuts from the countries he visited, hoping some of them might be introduced tn the United States. Van Buren, defeated for reelection, spent several years In Europe and was also for a few months Minister to England William Henry Harrison served as Minister to Colombia in 1828. Millard Fillmore also found solace abroad when he was not renominated, and Zachary Taylor’s foreign experience was confined to the military excursion known in history as the Mexican War. When Franklin Pierce retired from politics the Madeira Islands charmed him for a while, and he also traveled on the continent. He had been out of the country earlier. Although he had served as United States senator, he enlisted as a private in his home regiment at the outbreak of the Mexican War and was wounded at the battle of Contreras A diplomatic James Buchanan appointment to England gave his European opportunity. . . * o (SOMING down to our own was strong that that no President should leave the country When efforts to arrange a meeting had been enacted upon the subject, be- tween President McKinley and Diaz, the Mexican dictator, fell through. McKinley at El Paso would go no farther than the middle of the Interna- tional Bridge. and his only acquaintance with our southern neighbor was a long look across the Rio Grande. Roosevelt was the first President to trample on the tradition that the President of the United States must not leave the country during his term of office. He established a precedent when, in 1906, he crossed over from the Canal Zone to the territory of the Isthmus of Panama. And since his time every one of the Presidents has left the country at some time European monarchs make friendly calls upon each other, but there is no explanation of the fact that the Presidents until recent years have felt compelled to stay within the confines of their own boundaries. Chester Arthur was disturbed by this intangible rule when he threw a line in British waters while Ashing around the Thousand Islands. And Gro- ver Cleveland once went beyond the 3-mile Mmit time, the tradition vet TT La HAdMMMARREATAL TE a EN A sian onanntieanbddianiMidtbintios He AM i A nh al pth te i mitt ati while fishing in southern waters. Roosevelt traveled to Panama on the battleship Texas—which was American territory—and he was landed at Colon séveral hours before the wel- coming committees of officials expected him. He came ashore in the rain alone, told the first man he mét that he was “Mr. Roosevelt, of Washing-- ton,” and started right out to acquite information about the canal v His visit to the diggings and the construction: camps occupied three days, which included &@ trip to Panama City, the capital of the government, President Amador received him. ° Taft took a Panama trip also while President. He had become acquainted with the work while. Secretary of Wer and he spent four days riding over the hills and the ditch; also stopping at Pan- ama City to visit the president and make a speech. While Taft was President, Roosevelt was hunting big game in Africa and speaking in the capitals of Europe. His party left New York for Naples, then through the Mediterranean, across Suez, down the Red Sea, landing at Mombasa, in British East, Africa, continuing inland on the Uganda Railway- through the southern game preserve for 300 or 400 milés. Col. Roosevelt and his party sat on a plat- form built above the cowcatcher of the locomotive and saw herds of giant ostriches, zebras, giraffes, monkeys and tropical birds. At Kapiti Plains a caravan awaited them with 200 porters to carry the tents, food and equipment. | During a lion hunt Roosevelt dismounted and faced a lion at bay only 150 yards from him. Be- ‘ore the animal made up his mind to rush he sank three bullets into him. Another time the colonel wounded a hippo in the shoulder and it charged at him through the shallow water. He kept on firing, and the huge beast dropped before lt reached the boat. Around Mount Kenia Roosevelt hunted. ele- phants, killing one of them while another bull ele- phant charged close to his hiding place. From Victoria Nyanza there was a long trek-.to Lake Albert Nyanza, and the hunters were met by friendly tribal chiefs, then past the Victorian Nile into the White Nile and finally landed in Khar- toum after an eleven months’ trip. . - * HE Roosevelt party visited Omdurman and other Egyptian battleflelds. At Cairo the for- mer President lectured. He was entertained by. the King and Queen of Italy, the guest of Francis Joseph in Vienna and Archduke Karl in Budapest In Paris he spoke at the Sorbonne, then traveled through Holland, Belgium, Denmark and Norway. At Potsdam he and the kaiser reviewed 12,000 German troops. In London he attended the f- neral of King Edward. Everywhere mobs turned out for him, and he got a great welcome from the home folks in New York. In October, 1913, Roosevelt sailed to explore a virtually unknown portion of the Brazilian wilder- ness. Months of hardship were suffered by all the members of his party, and the polsons of the jungle undoubtedly ‘helped to shorten his life. The foreign travels of President Wilson are still a vivid memory to this generation, His reception in Paris, London and Rome was attended by popu- lar demonstrations of incredible enthusiasm. He was looked upon as the savior of Europe by the common people, and he was accorded the greatest honors at public assemblies. His absence from the seat of the Government was longer than that of any other President, but: the modern facilities of intercommunication, cable and radio, made it possible for Wilson to continue to transact official business while across the. Atlantic. It was on a trip outside the country that War- ren G. Harding contracted the illness that resulted. in his death. Returning from Alaska, the ship put into Vancouver. The ceremony of welcome was colorful and effusive, but that night he became sick from something which he had eaten, and six days later he was dead. President Coolidge has been outside American boundaries to Havana, but he is not the first President to have landed in Cuba. President Taft stopped at Guantanamo Bay, the American naval station, on’ his way back from Panama and spent several hours inspecting the station. ; From this chronicle, Hoover’s international ex- perience, which is well Known, js seen to have been of greater depth than that of any man who has been President.

For what woman, in her inner- most self, does not hold Beauty as the most precious gift of all? It seems that apothe- cary shops, beauty shops and department shops all are in league with the innermost woman, for they offer the most exquisite wares for the pursuit of beauty in the most exquisite guises that can be imagined. Opulent bottles and _ colorful ‘ wrappings lure us to the counters where we may select from a vast collection. Wares From the Christmas Stock. Intriguing powders, rouges, gay lipsticks, bath salts, dusting powders, enchanting perfumes, lux- uriously scented savons de bain, vanities—all these and more are displayed on the counters, Doesn't your imagination catch fire at the eternal possi- Oilities in gifts like these? But, in our enthus}- asm, we must not forget to consider appropriate- ness, First, let the gift be in quality of the finest that we can afford. Let there be little of the best, rather than much of the acceptable. Secondly, unless one is absolutely sure that the color, type texture and scent are absolutely right for the re- ciplent, one had better not buy! Possibilities in Make-Up. Powders—why not a de luxe case of double compartment, one With the precisely ida ba en “A thing of beauty and a joy forever” takes on a double meaning when lovely preparations are given to a lovely woman. é well established—follow them closely. In the eve- ning, most brunettes wear a pale yellow powder to great advantage, and, while many light-haired women prefer this same shade, most blondes look well in a mauve powder. A box of rougés--in several] shades for daytime use (to blend with frocks of different colors), and two for evening—would be a knowing addition to one’s makerup box. And, to carry a good thing a little farther—a collection Of pastes for the lips. tinted to match the rouges. Bath Accessories. Accessories that make the daily bath an event that affects one’s morale favorably constitute a de- lightful suggestion for what to give the busy woman who must take the good things of life on the wing Dusting powders and a box of just-a- wee-bit-expensive hath soap given to the housewife may supply a new perspective of her truly feminine self she h ‘inquish because of her down-to-e ' cidentally to be campletely thoughtful, give these helps to beauty in the same scent as that already favored by the lady in her toilet preparations. Caution in Regard to Perfumes. In the matter of perfumes, the clever giver ex- ercises considerable caution, and my advice to the buyer of scent for gift purposes is: know your subject well. Are you really well enough ac- quainted to Judge whether or not a fragrance is suited to your friend’s personality, her coloring, her type, her own ideas of what she is and isn’t? Are you sure that she hasn’t chosen one spécial odor as her very own, never to be departed from? It’s rather a dangerous ground to tread on unless you are sure of these things. Here, more than in any other phase of this beauty giving. intrinsic, worth should be emphasized, fer nothing is worse than bargain-counter perfume. Vanity, Vanity. New sand alluring articles to be carried in the handbag form another gold mine to help the puz- zled Christmas giver. Vanities of all descriptions —from the most extravagant connection for eve- nipg use to the ingenious case that costs but a dollar or so—these, and all the vanity cases in be~ tween will be given eager reception by every woman. Luxurious Extravagance. One could develop an endless list of varied beauty aids for Christmas giving touching upon the extravagant. A small Venetian casket madé into an amusing make-up box with a mirror, modernistic make-up boxes with mirrors, crystal boudoir-table lamps with delicately wrought shades, modernistic toilet sets made of silver and wood, silver and enamel Then, there are small practical thoughts such as @ generous supply of fine cleansing tissues in festive wrappings or great soft powder puffs (the swansdown ones are particularly nice and some- times difficult to find at a moment’s notice) or a box of individual, power puffs each to be used once and discarded. A Complement to a Woman’s Jewels. There is the compact jewel cleaning kit—with its package of finest sawdust and small jeweler’s brushes—a thing of enormous convenience to the woman who 1s fastidious about the small detalls, as* well as the more obvious ones. There are creams and lotions and little extra peauty servants that any woman would be glad to use if they were on her dressing table. And that favorite of gifts. a week-end case carrying in it miniature containers filled with beauty in- surance. A truly fine manicure kit is another sug- gestion. : At the Beauty Shop. Finally, one might wish to follow the example of one of my friends, who, last year on Christmas Day. gave her two best friends little cards telling in amusing verse, that by presenting these catds they would be entitled to 52 manicures aplece!. The card, tn each case. gave entree to the salon of the recipient’s favorite beauty specialist. Aside from these very r steps toward the goal we all desire something which aguments tranquillity and pleasure may be given. In this class. we May include lacy boudoir pillows, color- ful crystal for the dressing table or bathroom, a genuine perfume atomizer and an negligee. (Copyright, 1928.)

oe FOR THE WASHINGTON POST BOYS AND GIRLS he Aunior Post. — =e a te ee a ee WASHINGTON, D. C., DECEMBER 23, 1928. WE ARE JUSTLY PROUD OF OUR BOYS AND GIRLS Contributors to Junior Post Urged to Observe Xmas Spirit Dear Post Boys and Girls—Merry Christmas to the boys and girls who read The Junior Post, one and alll How do you like our holiday dress? We are not boastful but we venture to state that there are few papers for junior readers in the United States that can present as interesting a Christmas number as The Junior Post today. What makes your editors so proud ‘is that it is, with the exception of this letterand the Bird Quilt Book, entirely the work of The Post Junior Writers’ Club, the organization of more than 2,000 boys and girls situated in all parts of this country and many foreign lands who contribute weekly the ma- terial of which The Junior Post is made. A special cause for thankfulness is found in the fact that several of those who received honorable mention in the big new contest being conducted daily by The Washington Post are members of this club and had their first train- ing writing for The Junior Post. It will interest you to know that hundreds of contributions of all kinds, poems, stories, receipts, drawings, are received weekly by The Junior Post edl- tor and the mere reading and examin- ing of this material is quite a_ task. But it is a pleasant task and enlists the help of the Club Editor now and then, Each new contribution means another person, boy or girl, interested ——- ——- Christmas. (Honorable Mention) “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” says the Bible, the book of books. Let’s think about that. Aren't you really much happier when you have given some poor little boy or girl some- thing to make them happier than you are when you receive a gift yourself? Of course you are. The tuought that you have done something that brings great joy to some one else makes you glad yourself. You want to get busy and make some one else glad. The real spirit of Christmas is giving some one pleasure. When Christ was born the Wise Men brought gifts. They gave us the spirit, the true spirit that we all want to Keep. What jolly fun we have, going to the stores to buy gifts, wnispering in the corner about Martha’s special present, and getting pretty colored tissue paper, tinsel, red and green ribbons and seals galore to wrap them in. My, I think that is one of the best things about Christmas. Theh on’ Christmas you tramp up to the poor family’s house on the hill with your presents for the poor little chil- dren who are not expecting to have a merry Christmas. The mother stands in the door of the humble cabin with tears in her eyes and thanks you with gratitude that is truly gratitude. You watch the children play with the toys a while and then go down the lane, which is lined on each side with beautiful pine treeg, toward home— happy, happy, happy, because you have helped some one else to be joyful on the greatest of days, Christmas, by giv- ing! MILDRED CLINE (age 14). 832 Cumberland street, Bristol, Va. The True Spirit of | in The Junior Post and a possible new member for the club. So do not hesi- tate to send in your work but try to remember the rules for originality, neatness, signing your names properly with ages, addresses and schools and, above all, writing in ink, on one side of the paper only. If you write or draw on both sides of the paper you auto- matically disqualify your work and all your effort has been for nought. All over the land and in your Na- tional Capital the chimes of Christmas are ringing out peace and good will to men, the lesson of Yuletide taught to humanity by the birth of a little child. Do not make Christmas merely a day of present getting or giving. Let it mean also to you good will to your fellows in the home, the school and the play- ground. Then, truly, will you have a Merry Christmas and I hope a Happy New Year. This is a wonderful age in which we are living and no boy or girl is too young or too small do his or her share in making and keeping this country great by the good deeds and noble lives of its citizens. You are the citizens of tomorrow and you must make yourselves worthy and fit for the tasks which are to be yours. And now, as Tiny Tim said “God bless us every one” and make this Christmas the best we have ever known. EDITOR JUNIOR POST. The Banner of Christmas. (Honorable Mention.) All over the world for many centurtes people have celebrated Christmas as Christ’s Birthday. On this day one thinks of rejoicing, brother love, and the generous exchange of presents. To personify those things which people be- lieve ought to exist, at least on this one day, the people in every country have created a person to represent their ideals, In America this famous personage is known as “Santa Claus.” Numerous myths have been woven about this. fig- ure by the fancy of the people, These highly imaginative tales are employed to inspire in youngsters a love for this man who really personifies many ideals of Christ Himself. To the spohisticated youth from 12 to 17 years of age, however, there exists no such person as “Santa.” Many of this class take great pleasure in sport- ing their worldy knowledge to the younger boys and girls. With such words of wisdom from such sages, some of the youngsters are beginning to lose their awe and respect and love for old “Saint Nick,” in whose existence they have almost lost faith. Nevertheless the older, more mature person recog- nizes “Santa Claus” as one in whom all of Christendom should place faith. Although the stories concerning him are, to say the least, extremely fanciful, he takes the place of a banner; he becomes something which binds the Christian people more closely together on this Holy Birthday. — He stands for the ideals, the hopes, and the loves of the believers in Christ, whether in this country, in Italy, or in Belgium.

It was a cold night in December— colder than it had been for a long time. The streets were very crowded. It was Christmas Eve and children were being tucked into their beds in warm, cozy homes and told if they did not go to sleep, Santa Claus would not come to see them. But there was one little chap who was not being tucked into bed and heard no mother’s sweet voice bidding him good night. It was a little boy, cold and alone. “I don’t care if I did leave that ‘ole’ home,” muttered the little boy. “T’ll never, never go back there, *cause me’n everybody else there was treated just like dogs,” he said, giving himself a little shake. “And the only thing to do now is to go to some of the boarding housé and, if they'll let me, stay there all night if I run errands and do odd jobs.” He started to the nearest boarding lace. “Why indeed no, who ever heard of such a thing? Don’t want any little child messing up my house,” or some- thing to that effect was the reply from each landlady. “It ain’t no. use trying nowhere else, I suppose,” said Bill, for that was the boy’s name. But Bill seemed to remember some- thing he had read in an_old Sunday school book the day before. I don't know, but it seemed so much like that story I read, I mean me looking every where for a place to stay and every where I go I’m turned down.. It—lIt seems so much like the story about and the baby, Jesus, me a fishing pole.” “Yes it seems a great deal like that doesn’t it,” said a kind voice behind him and Bill realized he had been talking out loud. “I—I didn’t know you were listen- ing,” said Bill. « “Oh I won’t hurt you,” answered the kind man. I want you to come home with me for you are cold and hungry, I can see it in your eyes. At that instant Bill Jumped up from his seat. “And I'll have a real bed and food and Santa Claus will come jest like other kids?” “Yes and you shall have a big story book that will tell you all about how Joseph and Mary got turned out that cold night just as you did.” RUTH RIDDLES (age 11).

But before I go on telling my going away I will stop to tell you about my coming to Patty. Well, last Christmas I was brought to Patty. I was made by one of Santa’s helpers. One evening I saw Santa come into the room. He picked me up with a lot of other dolls and put us in a bag, a great big bag. He had many other things in there, too. Oh, how dreadful to be in such a stuffy bag with teddy bears and jack- in-the-boxes all around you saying sap wished you would drop out of the ag Before we started off he went into a room and took up a book which had “Good Children” marked on it, He opened it and said aloud, “Um, Patty Linds, well, I'll have to give her some. thing nice.” After looking at some other names he flung the bag over his shoulder and out we went into the cold night of the North Pole country. Putting us into the big sled, he climbed into the seat and called, “Getty-up.” Away we went, the ten reindeers pulling the sled. Slowly we rose into the sky and the old moon peeped at us as if to say, “Merry Christmas.” We finally came to a house with a big chimney. Santa slipped down it easily and stepped out onto the floor Over the fireplace there were five stock- ings—a great big one, a smaller one and a still smaller one and two even smaller, about the same size, one marked “Bill” and the other “Patty.” Patty’s was filled first and I was placed on the tin top. After filling the other stockings Santa left. In the morning Patty and slipped down before any one When Patty saw me she cried, Bill, look, look what I got.” She seemed to like me better than any- thing else. Bill, ¢ven though he is a boy, seemed to pay attention to me. I have been carefully kept all the year and now that we are at grand- ma’s house, I am going into dinner with my dear Patty. .

It was near Christmas and he was looking for Santa Claus He wrote to Santa to tell him what he wanted—electric train, bicycle and a toy plane. Now Mrs. Dudley was going to Wash- ington the next day. Julian asked if he could go too. She said yes, he could go. He went into one of the stores and there he saw Santa Claus, who wanted to know what Julian wanted for Christmas.

December 23, 1928. THE JUNIOR POST SECTION -_---— —— —~ Tiny Tots Corner A Happy Christmas. A long time ago, in. a very cold country, there lived two little children named Mary and James. It was almost Christmas and they had but little food for they were very poor. * Mary wished for a big doll; James wished for a wagon. So Mary worked hard for a lady in her kitchen while James chopped wood and packed it under the shed. At the end of the week they had earned snough to buy some food and a doll and a small wagon. So Mary and James spent a happy Christmas with their new toys. MARY LEE CAVANAUGH. Age 8. 300 Carroll avenue, Takoma Park. Md. Mary Jane’s Christmas Mary Jane was a poor little girl who lived in the slums of London. She had to sell matches to earn a Living, and very often she came back to the slums penniless. Bhe was alone in the world with no one to love and protect her. It was Christmas Eve. Mary Jane walked sadly along the street peddling matches. The snow was very deep and people paid no attention to her as they hurried home, anxious to be by the warm fire. As she was crossing the street suddenly a car darted forward and knocked her down. There was a screech ad grinding of brakes, accompanied by a scream as the people dashed towara the scene. A rich man, whose name was Col. Tarver, got out of the car and hurried to the spot where she lay. He picked her up and ordered the cnauffeur to drive to the nearest hospital. Fortunately she was not hurt very badly and suffered more from fright than injuries so she soon recovered, Christmas day she was moved to Mrs. Tarver’s home and what a sight she beheld. There was a large and beautl- ful Christmas tree with many toys under it, all wonder of wonders for her. She discovered she was Col. Tar- ver’s long lost daughter whom he be- lieved to be dead, and then they lived comfortably ever after. MARYLEE PRICE. Age 10 818 Ninth street northwest. My Surprise. Last year at Christmas time I had a surprise that gave me a fright. I awoke early Christmas morning and hurrigsl downstairs. I ran into the parlor, where Santa had always left my things, and what was my surprise and fright when I! found no Christmas tree and not a toy! I hurried upstairs and told my moth- er She said that she didn’t know what could be the matter, for I had been a good girl. ~ I went downstairs with a heavy heart, and what a different surprise I had when I went in the dining room. The room was filled with beautiful toys and a tree. Santa had left my toys in a different room! MARGUERITE SARTAIR (age 10). 602 I street northeast. / A Christmas Poem. Oh, the moon looked down from the sky From her perch on high, To see a cabin below Half covered with snow; No Christmas bells were ringing And inside no voices were singing. “Santa Claus, Santa Claus, Please travel and do not pause "Till you come to a cabin below That is half covered with snow; There the people are sad, So please make them glad.” Said Santa, “Yes, Lady Moon, yes, I'll do my very best!” So when they parted Santa Claus started; He reached the cabin before day, And left as many gifts as you can say. In the morn a child came out ° And looked all about. She screamed with joy—and then Out came a lot of merry men Who sang, “Oh Santa Claus, we thank thee, For making our Christmas so merry.” MIMI DAY, (age 9). Fort Bragg, N. C. | shoes. John’s Christmas. Christmas was near and John realized it. He knew that he had stolen some cookies during the year and fussed and pouted when asked to go to the store. The day before Christmas Eve John sald, “Mother, do you think Santa Claus will bring me any toys? “Ashes and switches,” said his mother. John grumbled out a few words and ieft the room. Christmas Eve John’s father came home without a tree. Did his mother really mean what she sald? John went upstairs after dinner and went to bed. Christmas morning John got up at 5 and went downstairs. There was a large pile of presents and lots of games and toys. After this when he came home from school he was always ready to go to the store and asked for cookies instead of stealing them. BURKELEY BURRELL. (age 9) 1854 Second street northwest.

As the cave man steps outside the cave he is filled with awe, for over- head a pale moon js glowing in a velvet sky, while in the vast woodg oniy the howling of the wolves breaks the. still- ness. Then he slouches inside and drops down beside the fire, etill feeling the terror of that night. MARYLEE PRICE (age 818 Ninth street northwest. 10). Santa Claus.

FRANCE GALLAGHER (ave 10 ) Joe’s Christmas. There was once a Httle boy whose name was Joe Cooper. Joe was a news- paper boy. While he was going home one evening Joe stopped at a bicycle store and saw a bicycle which he would have liked to have had very much. But alas! It cost too much. Joe had saved up $13 and he only earned $3.50 a week. One evening when Joe was going home from his newspaper job he was hit by an automobile; so he thought all his money would have to be spent on doctor and hospital bills. But it happened that the car which ran over Joe belonged to a rich man ; The rich man paid all the bills and besides sent Joe a lot of nice presents to the hospital where Joe was for Christmas. But Joe was very sad be- cause he had not gotten his bicycle. A few days later the doctor said he could go home. On his way home from his paper job he stopped at the store and saw that his bicycle was gone. While Joe had been at the hospital the rich man visited Joe’s mother, and asked her what he liked best for Christ- mas, And Joe’s mother told him of the long-wanted bicycle. 80 on the way home, the rich man stopped at the store and bought the bicycle and sent it to Joe’s house while he was at school. He asked his mother if she knew any- thing about it but she said that she didn’t. When he went to get his coat the next morning, what should he see in the closet, but his bicycle! He was so happy he,even forgot his breakfast. He asked his mother if he could ride to school and she said yes. When she looked out of the window, she saw him riding like a king.

Hence his mad pacing of the pantry floor. He soon grew bhot_and impatient, so he went outside to cool off and rest. Outside his attention was attracted to the house next door by sounds of revelry. The people were celebrating Christmas Eve. At once he formed a Plan. His tiny eyes fairly bulging in a super-attempt to plerce the dark- ness, Tommy traversed the distance to the next house, searched patiently for some junobtrusive hole, and, finding ohne. was at last rewarded by entering & well-stocked pantry. He could hardly suppress a squeal of delight, but peing a prudent mouse, he did so. Then after carefully mark- ing the entrance, he scurried back to his mouse hole and awoke his twenty relatives and disclosed his plan. Stealthily then. the procession wound its way to the next house; still more stealthily it crept into the then- empty pantry Quietly, five of the mice lifted a huge box of cheese and began the journey back, five more and crackers; another five.silently pro- cured @ cake; the remaining six, the strongest of the family, began to transfer a huge jar of fam to their stalwart backs. “Halti” squeakily commanded a voice. “What are you doing here?” challenged a burly rat. ~ As the visitors’ intent was quite ob- vious, they deemed it unnecessary to reply. “Put everything back!” continued the rat, “or I will call out my fam- tly.” “Now, you wouldn’t do that,” whee- had begun to think quickly. “Think of the spirit of brotherhood—think of the spirit of giving—think of the spirit——-” “Will you do as I said?” “Why don’t you,” continued Tom- my, blithely, “and your-—er—family join us in a Christmas banquet to- morrow ?” “If you don’t——” “Sort of have the two families cele- brate together.” “Huh!” demanded the rat. “Oh, I'm so glad!

THE JUNIOR POST SECTION A Big Surprise Which Brought Happiness. getting ready for Christ- mas. All of the littie girls and boys are wondering what Sauta is going to bring them. One day when Alice coming home from school she saw a small girl sitting on the sidewalk. Alice wished to know what she was crying about. Alice went to the little girl and asked her crying. The little girl said she had seen all of the pretty Christmas decorations in the xf the big stores, and she would have no Christmas, because they were poor. Alice told the little girl not to worry about that. She would get some beau- tiful presents. At this reply crying at once Alice asked what her.name was. “My name. is Jean Robinson,” said Jean, “and I live with my mother and grandmother in a very old house.” Alice asked if her father was dead. Jean told her that her father died in June, and that was why she knew there would be no Christmas in the Robinson household that year. Alice was very sorry for Jean, who was 10 years of age. Alice told her to come on home with her; that she had to carry her books home. ; Jean went home with Alice, who lived in a beautiful house, which made Jean think of the house she had lived in before the death of her father. Alice’s mother, Mrs. Harvey, wanted to know who the little girl was. Alice told her all about how she met Jean. Mrs. Harvey said, “I am glad you brought Jean home with you, and she shall have a happy Christmas if nothing happens.” Jean and Alice went upstairs. Alice gave her some clothes, which pleased Jeam very much. She ran home and told her mother about the nice little girl, and showed her the clothes that Alice had given her. Jean’s mother was surprised to see the clothes, and thought that Alice must be a very kind little girl. Because Jean had some clothes, she started to school the next day, which made her life more pleasant. When Christmas came, Jean went to see Alice, and told her not to give her had gone to anything. s =e up to her home. That night after bed, Alice went Some one had given them a tree, but no trimmings for it. Alice went home and came back with things to decorate the tree. She also brought many pres- ents for Jean, and her mother and father had sent gifts to Mrs. Robinson and her mother. Every one is Claus Was why she was windows the little girl stopped Mrs. Robinson thanked Alice very much, Alice told them not to anything until in the morning. The next morning, very early, Jean went downstairs to get a drink of water, and when she went in the din- ing raom she saw a tree decorated and many presents under it. This surprised Jean very much, Jean never forgot that surprise. She went down to thank Alice for the gifts, for she knew Alice was responsible. Alice was glad to make a poor little girl happy, which every one should do. FRANCES REID (age 14). Va.

It is a very nice thing to receive eifts at Christmas, but it is more won- derful and better to give gifts to those who are sick or unable to buy pres- ents to make them happy There are lots of happy and willing children who would be very glad to give gifts and not recelve them, We all know giving ts the true spirit |of this wonderful day and receiving is | not, Let us be thankful of this and remembrance of our friends.

Route 2, Box 89, Manassas, Va. ’ ryyY ‘ - . The True Spirit of Christmas. (llonorable Mention.) What Is the true Spirit of Christmas? Christmas is a time of Joy, a time to give—not merely gifts, but love, which is a priceless gift. You can not buy love, nor can you steal it. Gifts are one of the best ways of expressing love. Is there any fun in receiving if you've given nothing? Some say yes, but their hearts say no, unless they have been changed by their owner's selfishness. Though you have received nothing, but have given something, you have re- ceived something, though you can not see it. It is the priceless gift of un- selfishness, which ts indeed a precious gift. What is better than to be able to say to yourself: “Mine is the gift of un- selfishness, because I gave my part will- ingly ”’ It is not what you give that counts, but how you give it. Give what you have willingly, though it be but little. Is it worth giving? Then it ts worth giving willingly. It may be costly, yet not worth giving. If every one thought recelving the proper spirit of Christmas, what would Christmas be? Merely a time to sit around to wait and see what gifts you've received. Give only a tiny gift, if no better can be done. Though it is tiny, give it in the right spirit. Those who re- ceive gifts, in the right spirit, can not help but feel its love. The giver, too, is enriched. He has received the price- less and precious gift of unselfishness. All of you think of this at Christmas thus it will be a much happier day for all. PAULINE M. ROGERS (age 11). day in also in Christmas. (Awarded Gold Membership Pin) It was December, and, in the cold twilight, silver leaves of the olives glanced like steel swords in the wet light. Bethlehem, snuggled in among the hills of Judea, presented a cold and dreary atmosphere. In the pale twilight, the barren hills stood like grim sentinels, guarding a _ precious gem and looking down with infinite and loving prid on th small, nest- ling village. It was upon this scene that the in- fant Jesus first opened his eyes. What a place for the birth of the “King of Kings!” The child was born in a barn, a cave, in the very heart of the rock, in a manger surrounded by lowly and restless cattle. And then shepherds came to the place where he lay telling a wondrous story of how, in the deep of the night, they. had seen the sky blossom with celestial forms and faces, and the ether ring with celestial tongues and songs. Ah! —What a Christmas to those shepherds, the splendid Oriental zenith bursting into celestial bloom and the winter wind broken by heavenly voices. How docile, how silent the years! How seeming few years had passed until this tender infant would be sacrificed to the sin of the world. how soon was he to be sacrificed. But Jesus still lives. He is in the hearts and minds of everyone, especial- at thie time of year. “We do honor e greatest of mankifid, the’ A ? me | Ry; Savior] a. es | of humanity. Christ’s final departure from earth was a triumph. A delicate cloud received Him and He was gone to receive the reward due Him, Evil never touched His spirit, and cor- ruption never approached His body. Ideal of sacrifice, master of suffering, the grandest intellect and the purest heart was Jesus Christ. He left us the divine opportunity of everlasting life. Christmas is the gladest time of all the year, because it marks the birth of the world’s divine Savior. MARY ATWOOD (age 14), 3814 Morrison street ryyY + The Real Christmas Spirit. (Awarded $1 Special Prize.) The spirit of giving rather than that of receiving is indeed a great spirit prompted by kindness of heart, by gen- erosity and the joy of seeing through our efforts. a gift itself for which we all should ask—this generous spirit, and it Should be prized above all Christmas gifts, small and large. Happy in heart and mind both is he who sacrifices a few things himself to give something to someone else who needs it more, and he will be more happy in the long run, than he who Keeps all things to himself. This ts the greatest season of the year. Christ sacrificed himself for us— can we not show our appreciation to Him in depriving ourselves of a few pleasures, in doling good for others? Let us all display the true Christ- mas spirit, the right thought in giving, and in doing this we shall all be hap- pier when we find how those easily sac- rificed pleasures brought so much com- fort and joy to others who receive our rightly given gifts. Do we give with such a thought as this kept in our minds? “that we shall receive in return?” Have we been liv- ing each Christmas under this very wrong thought? If so, we have been wrong and we must correct ourselves and we must make this a most joyful Christmas for all, and it is certain we will if we dis- play the true joy-giving spirit. Let us cheer the Junior Post for prompting such a spirit throughout the hearts of its youthful members, for wanting to insert within each and every one that great and generous love of our neighbors displayed to perfec- tion in Christ.

MARIE MUSE (age 13). nigh, December 23, 1928. - — —— = ae Molly’s Christmas. Molly stopped her work for a minute and began thinking. Only nine more days till Christmas. She could hardly believe it. How could she secure enough money for her sick mother and her sister? Molly was the eldest daughter of Mrs. Clark, a poor widow, and through her earnings she managed to support the family. She worked and boarded as a se~vant for Mrs. Starner, a very wealthy woman. Molly’s house stood about a block away from Mrs. Starner's beautiful mansion, and there- by she was cble to run over to her house and see how her mother was vetting along. It happened that late one night when Molly was just coming from her house and was entering Mrs. Starner’s mansion by the back way, she caught sight of a figure prowling around the garden. She immediately drew back behind the door and was very quiet for a few minutes. The prowler, evidently a burglar, walked until he came to the same door that Molly was behind. without a bit of noise he found that the door was unlocked, as Molly had left it. He entered the house and in about ten minutes he decided to go upstairs and was making his way to Mrs. Star- ner’s room, Molly, still behind, crept up the steps and began watching the movements of the burglar. By this time he was in the room and began thinking what he should do, He opened his Qgashlight and threw the light around the room, which afterward came upon the face of Mrs. Starner. In a few seconds her eyes were wide open, but before she could utter a sound the burglar had his gun close to her. He then gagged her and tied her hands and feet. Then he asked her where she kept her jewels. She pointed to a hole in the wall covered by a picture. Slowly he rose and walked across the room to the place described and began his work. Molly went to the room where the robbery was taking place and opened the door slightly, Just to see what was going on. When she stuck her head in Mrs. Starner gave a very surprising look, About five minutes had elapsed and the burglar was ready to go and he told Mrs. Starner not to make a sound till he had gone. As he stepped over the threshold he was tripped up by Molly. She rushed into the room, switched on the light and untied Mrs. Starner. Then she called the police, who discovered that the burglar was a very notorious crook. The next day Mrs. Starner came to Molly’s house and gave her a hand- some gift for her heroic work in cap- turing the burglar and saving her valuable jewels. Molly then had plenty of money to buy medicine for her sick mother and also food and clothes. Molly enjoyed Christmas very much and never forgot that exciting night which brought Joy and happiness to her fam- ily. ANNIE FALCONE (age 14). 421 M street northwest. 4 ee \, Ww. om, & / iy
