OF HUERTA RECOGNITION

Washington. August 4.-For
mer Gov. John Lind of Minnesota
has been sent to Mexico as the
personal of President Wilson to

embassy in the present situation.

Secretary Bryan said Mr.. Lind
went without any sort of ere

official circles as tantamount to
a formal denial of recognition to

HOUSE EPREPARESFOR
RIGID EXAMINATION
OF MARTIN MULHALL
Lobbyist" Will Be Called
Before Committee of In
vestigatOrs Wednesday
Morning

Washington, August 4-Investigation of
the activities of Martin NJ. Mulhall for
the National Association of Manufacturers
will occupy the attention of committees on
both sides of the capitol tomorrow for the
first time since the lobbyist" made his
startling charges a month ago. The
House investigating committee will begin
its work with the examination Of Louis
selhold Of the New York World, who had
much to do with the turning over to that
newspaper of the Mulhall correspondence.
When lfulhall is called on the House
side there will be no wholesale identifica-
tion of his letters by investigating con-
gressmen, but the witness will be ques-
toned closely first as to justification for
bringing in the names of men who are
members OF the present House. He will
be asked also to show just how he ex-
pected to influence legislation in the House
and what acquaintance he really had
among it's members.

The Senate committee will hear tomor-
row former Senator Joseph b. Foraker
of Ohio, mentioned by Mulhall as one of
the men he used to know well in Wash
ington, and one of those for whom lie
did campaign work. The committee re-
ceved more letters from Mulhall today
which the lobbyist said proved some of
the statements ne made in his direct testi-
mony. Senator Reed will examine these
and may put Mulhall on the stand later to
question him about them.
Usual Lively Time
The committe had its usual lively time
today. Senator Townsend started it by
denying that he had held confidential
conversations with Mulhal in his offices
when he was a member of the House. He
daclared such statements to be absolute
ly false. Mr. Townsends denial was fol-
lowed closely by "A protest from Robert
McCarter, attorney for the National AS
ISOLATION of Manufacturers, against recent
newspaper interviews with the three DEM

Birthday Candle Ring.

If a birthday is soon coming in your
household. buy one of the charming
little candle rings to go around a birth
day cake. These rings are made of
wood. enameled white and painted
with small pink and blue flowers. They
are perforated with sockets for holding
many small candles. They sit securely
the table outside the cake. and there
is no danger of burned cloth or scorch-
ed cake when they are used. OF course
they come in different sizes and cost
according to size.
One with so many holes that the
possessor of that many years to her
credit would attempt to forget 1t costs
$1.75. A group of three small mes
costs 50. If only part of the holes are
needed to accommodate the necessary
number of candles the candles can be
arranged symmetrically, skipping one
or two sockets between each two can
dies, and the empty sockets a be
covered with flower heads or bonbons

Celebrating the Day
Anciently and Now

on Christmas eve the bells were rung;
On Christmas eve the mass was sung.
That only night In all the year
Saw the stoled priest the chalice rear.
The damsel donned her kirtle sheen;
The hall was dressed with holly green.
Forth to the wood did merry men go
To gather in the mistletoe.
Then opened wide the baron's hall
To vassal. tenant, serf and all.
Power laid his rod of rule aside,
And Ceremony DOTTED his pride.

sons dear delights.
Christmas with us is a day of giving
and receiving. of good cheer and good
feeling, and essentially 1t is one of re.
ligious significance. Hence it will
sound strange to many to be told that
a number of our Christmas customs
come down to us from pagan times.
Yet such Is the fact. Traces of some
heather rites are found in England as
we'll as here, and the cause of their
survival lies deeper than theology.
When the mother country, so called,
was converted to Christianity the
priests found her people welded to
many old customs. Not all of these
were what they would have had them.
but they had a practical work to per-
form and went at 1t in a practical way.
The more revolving of these customs
they properly uprooted altogether: the
better of them they preserved, only In
grating the rites of the church upon
them.
Thus it came about that festivities
which had their origin in the old Ro-
man Saturnalia and had ONE into
use among the druids survived in the
grim mythology of the Saxons and are
a portion of our inheritance today.
Conspicuous among these are the burn
ing of the Yule log and the hanging
of the mistletoe Dough.
Among all peoples who celebrate the
day at all it has always been a day for
eating and drinking, for singing and
dancing and merriment of all kinds. In
deed. this has been the criticism of the
church against the manner of observ-
ance-that its spiritual meaning was
too often forgotten in the general tide
Of worldly cheer.
In England its observance is univer-
sal. The chroniclers tell us that in
Cheshire no servants would work on
this day. even though their failure to
do so resulted in their discharge. The
richest families were compelled either
to do their own cooking on Christmas or
eat what had been prepared beforehand,
while dancing and merriment reigned.
And the games that were played
number nearly legion, the most of
them, though, on Christmas eve Run

New York motorists Will be inter-

in the automobile law of New Jersey,
which Job H. Lippincott. the Motor We
hicle Commissioner of that state. Will
recommend to the incoming New Jer-

Some OF these amendments are de-
signed TO strengthen the reciprocity
law by which out-of-state motorists
tour New Jersey under a fifteen-day
free touring privilege. One provision
is for records Of ali incoming and out
going cars to be kept by garage owners
in order to check up foreign motorists
an they will not exceed the flfteen-day
limit. This, IL is believed. will be ef-
fectivc at summer resorts, at some OF
which. II is claimed. out-of-state mo-
torists run their cars all summer with
out New Jersey license.

at foreign motorists, is that which pro-

Commissioner Lppincott also asks

also wants the authority to impose

obtains ut present and he suggests a
fine Of $500 for those persons using
fictitious license numbers. An In
creased fee for automobile liverymen
and the power to summon witnesses at
hearings are also asked for.
II there is any intention on the part
OF the Commissioner TO suggest gen.

impression that more automobile fees
will be asked for in order to defray
the cost of road building IN the state.
