Interesting Theory Evolved

the West Now.

Chicago, May 21.-The theory
that Halley's comet has lost it's old
tail, which is floating in space in the
eastern sky, and is now generating
a new one, was advanced by Rev.
Daniel ]. McHugh, professor of as
tconomy at DePaul university, today.
The old tail was forced away from
the comet by the force of unusual
electrical repulsion caused by the sun
spots which were so prominent We'd
nesday, he thinks.
Absent wednesday Night.
''It is my opinion" said McHugh,
"that the comet lost its tail some
time Wednesday night. There are
records of its having done the same
thing in. 1885 and 1t is also believed
a tail was lost in March this year.
/ also believe there is not the slight
est chance of the earth's coming in
contact with the tail on this visit.
Earth Had n Hand in 1t.
Combined with solar repulsion
caused by sun spots in forcing the
old tail away was the attraction of
the earth. When the old tail broke
away it continued in the same plane

Why Should indiserin,inate Gift Civ
ing to Grownups Continue?
Is the movement for a safe and
sane fourth of July to be followed by
one for an economical Christmas? Do
the majority Of people feel that the
Christmas present has been as much
overdone as the frecracker. the toy
cannon and the pinwheel?
1t must be understood In the outset
that the movement to curtail Christ
mas giving has no relation to the chill
dren. The joy of the little ones In
their Santa Claus and his bounty is
too beautiful a thing to disturb. 1t is
only the presents to the grownups. to
every Tom. Dick and Harry with
whom one happens to be acquainted.
the presents that are burden and a
bore both to giver and recipient, that
1t is proposed to abandon.
Frequently these are given through
sense of duty and cannot be af
forded by the donor Just as frequent
ly they are not needed by the one on
whom they are bestowed. Thus the
outlay is not justified It is depriva-
ton to one without any corresponding
benefit to the other. The recipient In
turn feels It duty to make presents to
the giver. presents that perhaps he can
as little afford and that his friend
as little needs. Thus both have had to
make sacrifices for which they have
received no equivalent good. 1t is this
sort of giving when we expect re-
turn. this giving through sense of
past or prospective obligation. against
which there is widespread revolt. II
is not in harmony with the Christmas
spirit. 1t is commercial. onerous and
lacking in spontaneity. 1t makes us
dread the return of the holiday when
we should welcome It with joy.
Fortunately the habit is dying out.

COSTLY KISSES

where the assistants live in. great
deal Of kissing goes on at Christmas
time. Some of the more daring spirits
among the male ''hands" have been
known to make bets with one another
as to the number Of different girls
they would kiss between Christmas
eve and New Years eve.
In certain London drapery house
two or three seasons ago one Of these
"horrid males" made record by salut
ing seventeen different damsels. But
he found the game was not worth the
candle, for, in addition to q scratched
face and a pretty severe pommeling
at the hands Of victims sweetheart,
the rash youth found his services dis
pensed with.
AT another great emporium one
Christmas indiscriminate kissing ere
ated so much trouble that more than a
dozen young men were dismissed.
Ever since in this particular establish
ment even the Introduction of sprig
Of mistletoe during the festive season
has been enough TO insure instant dis

to kiss a young lady assistant was
hurried Off the premises with his hat
and overcoat In his hand.

little kissing custom all her own that
