The Christmas holiday in Denmark
is observed in a most charming man.
ner and it will be interesting to know
that in no other country, except posi-
bly, in Sweden, do people go in for
such merriment, eating and feasting
as just in Denmark. Christmas eve
of course is the great time for re-
joicing in Denmark. No Christmas
dinner is complete without the risen
grod"-rice porridge boiled in milk
and served with cupful of sweetened
beer, butter and cinnamon. Hidden in
the rice is an almond and the lucky
person who finds it receives a special
gift Either goose or turkey fol-
lows the risengrod and the sweet con-
sists of a tart with prunes. Then
comes the event of the festival, the
exhibition of the Christmas tree. The
doors of the largest rooms in the
house, which have been jealousy
guarded for days by the women folk,
are flung open to show the historic
tree, blazing with lighted candles, gay
with decorations and laden with gifts.
Young and old then form a ring
around the Christmas tree and dance.
Christmas hymns are, sung and the
tree is despoiled of it's presents.
Games similar to those enjoyed in
Sweden pass the time merrily until
the sleepy eyes of the children give
warning that the night is far ad-
vanced, when with hymn and song the
rejoicings are brought to an end.

$500 Solitaire
Was Only Glass

Silby valor, of 317 Mulberry street,
says today: Never again!" He may
be telling the truth, but for others who
do not know of his experience let us
relate how he was trimmed" out of
$125, just as easy as the boys out West
lassoo a bucl6ing bronco.
A smooth stranger approached the
said Silby valor.
II beg your pardon, but have we not
met before. Let me see, your name
is
"oh. yes. it is yalor; strange ! could
not think of it,"
well, Mr.. valor, 1 am in need of a
little money, and will let you take this
diamond, which is worth 5000, for Sl25."
Both men go to jeweler. who states
that the diamond is worth at least $500.
and Mr.. Valor, quick to appreciate a
bargain, digs down into his jeans for
green" to the amount og SIPS.
The next scene of the little drama
takes place in the First Precinct sta
tion, when Valor lays before the SER
geant piece of glass for which he had
paid said S125.
The police sergeant is sorry, but
after taking a description of the man
tells Mr. Valor that there are tricks in
all trades and he had .'just fallen" for
an old game which had almost been
discarded by the presto-change-'e
men.

Beseech Cop to
Aid Hurt Child

The Second Precinct Police Court was
the scene of great excitement today
when Samuel Guliano, of II Cutler
street, rushed to the desk lieutenant and
placed on his desk the almost lifeless
form of 4-year-old Vinzenza Comite, Of
Is Cutler street, who had fallen from
the second-story porch of her home
More than 100 foreigners were in the
party and presented a pitiful sight as
they beseeched the sergeant, with
wringing hands. to aid the little child
Lieutenant William Connick sent the
still breathing form to the City Hos
pitaE
The little girl had been playing on
the rear porch of her home while the
mother was busy with house duties. A
shrek from the yard below was the
first intimation that anyone had that
the child had fallen. By the time the
mother got to the yard Guliano had
picked up the baby and carried it to
the police station. The yard where the
child had fallen is concrete.
When the child was brought to the
City Hospital a hasty examination by
the physicians showed that there were
no bones broken and no internal in

were gathered. All knowledge of the
attempted attack on the men who re-
fused to quit work was denied by the
strikers. Charles Steinwald, president
of Local Union No 2, and yice-presi-
dent of the International Union of
Trunknakers, stated today that pickets
had been established at the Goldsmith
factory. but that the men had been
warned not TO resort to any violence.
We don't want to dictate as to what
prices shall be paid for work That Is
up to the men," said Steinwald what
the men want and what Goldsmith re-
fuses he said. lis that a shop com
mittee should be elected that shall set
tie these questions. The men are will
ing TO meet the employer half way.
We fixed scale of prices and sub
mitted them with the understanding
that If they were not satisfactory to
the employer he should submit an
other list and then a compromise might
be established. This they have also
refused to do"
The men today brought their pay en-
velopes on which were marked the fig
ures denoting the salary received
These figures ran from s5.25 to sS.25 a
week, they said, but when some of the
men were questioned they admitted
that they averaged about $12 a week
The minimum wage IN Chicago
said Steinwald, rs 1850 a week, and
we think the men should have at least
that here.
I'VE have no objection to Mr. Gold
smith employing non-union men II the
question of wages is properly adjusted"
said Steinwald. IF he employs nom
union men we simply endeavor to get
them to Join the union within thirty
days time" said he.
When the men were asked at the
meeting today If they were willing to
return to work under present condi-
tions, they said they were not Accord
ing to Steinwald the men wanted to
strike in February. but were advised
by him not TO do so until he had in

were not urged to strike" said Stein

dissatisfied with what they were re-

There are more ways than one to
skin a cat and more ways than one
to bring lover down to cases. Cath

will be of interest to many quarreling
couples. Catherine lives at 17S Polk
street, and was and is engaged to be

Last Sunday William gave Catherine

That peeved Catherine and she en-

tween times, however, friends of the
couple "chipped in" 1925 and took the
ring out of "hock." 1t was returned to

stigation of Anthony Comstock, presi-
dent of the New York Cociety for the

CRASH AUTO
WAS STOLEN

An adjournment until next Tuesday
was asked by the State today in the
case of DIR" Allan T. Gentry, who is
being held in the Fourth precinct
police station under $4,000 bail. on a
charge of assault and battery.
DR." Gentry is charged with caus-
ing the injuries to Mrs. Mary Blake,
who is now in st. >Barnabas's Hospital
in critical condition, when he ran an
automobile in which he and the woman
were riding into tree Thursday at
Clinton and Jelliff avenues
The doctor" who has baff1ed the
police with his various stories, still
keeps them in ignorance as to many
important facts. Every clue that he
has given has thus far prevented the
police from ascertaining his true
identity; and the fact that the num-
ber on the automobile engine corre-
spends to the number of an engine
that was stolen from Philadelphia
garage adds to the mystery of the
case.
Charles Sommerville, proprietor Of
the United States Hotel at Morristown,
at which hostelry the physician was
stopping. identified the woman at the
hospital as Miss Mary Hoffman, who
was employed by him. He declared
that on April he heard DR.. Gentry
ask Miss Hoffman If she cared for
an auto ride. She agreed, he said, and
asked one of the maids to get her hat
for her This was at S:15 p. M, and
the last he saw of her till he saw her
at the hospital.
Today a detective from the Philadel-
phia headquarters will arrive with the
man who lost a White steamer auto
mobile and make an attempt to identi-
fly the machine that was wrecked. Chief
of Police Taylor. of Philadelphia, asked
Captain Carroll, of the local detective
bureau, to furnish him with descrip-
tion of the man held here. This was
done, and in case of identification the
man will be charged with the theft of
the machine. The detective will be
armed with a warrant.
The latest bulletin from the hospital
declares that while there was a slight
improvement in the woman's condition
her case is grave one.
Frank X Mayors, of Frenchtown,
Pa, today positively identified the au
tomobile as that which was stolen
from his garage on March IA. He was
accompanied by Lieutenant Jackson, of
the Philadelphia police, and Lieutenant
Keough. of the local detective force.
