Still Garry Bears
Head at Christmas
RHE medieval Yuletide custom

TNHE medieval Yuletide custom
OF carrying q bOar's head in
procession to the Christmas
banquet was once common In
England. Today it is confined to
Queens college, Oxford, and one or
two baronial houses.
The reason for the custom surviving
at Queens is. according to tradition,
on account Of valorous deed perform
ed centuries ago by a Queens scholar.
He was walking In the fields studying
his Aristotle when wild boar rushed
at him open mouthed- With great
presence of mind the student crammed
the book down the animals throat,
and it was thus choked to death with
philosophy; hence the survival Of the
boars head at the college Of which
this bold scholar was q member.
No filter setting for ceremony that
links up the twentieth century with
the past could be provided than this
cloisters and dining hall of Queens
college. Queens, whose foundation
dates back to 1910, was the college OF
the Black Prince, Henry w.. Cardinal
Beaufort, Addison, Wycherley and
many other famous men.
The procession of the boars head is
formed up at the buttery. At its head
walks the sOloist. a former scholar Of
the college. Next comes the boar's
head This is borne on silver salver
upon the shoulders of two stalwart
servitors. The great head presents a
quaint and handsome appearance, be-
ing surmounted by glittering and be-
jeweled crown and decked with friIls
of gilded bay and rosemary. Be
tween the tusks is placed golden
orange. Flags bearing the college arms
and devices are fixed in the head.
Immediately behind the great dish
comes the college organist, wearing the
brilliant robes of an Oxford doctor Of
music, and followed by his supplied
choir Of men and boys.
Meanwhile the provost Of the COL
lege, standing on the dais at the end
Of the hall in the midst OF the princi-
pal guests, says Latin grace, after
which the dinner call Is sounded in
the cloisters upon trumpet. Then
with stately: pomp the procession slow
" advances from the butlery, through
the cloisters and into the great dining
hall, and the soloist sings the procla-
nation:
The boar's head in hand bear L
Bedecked with bays and rosemary.
And pray you, my masters be merry.
Then the choir sings In harmonious
chorus the curious old Latin carol:
Quot estis in convivio.
Caput apri defero,
Reddens laudes Domino.
By the time the carol is finished the
procession has reached the dais, and
the boar's head is deposited on the
high table. Then the provost, or, in
his absence, the senior official of the
college who is present, removes the
flags, which are used year after year
and are Of considerable antiquity, and
presents to each of the principal guests
a portion of the gilded evergreens.
The remainder is eagerly scrambled
for by the other guests.
After this prelude the dinner Is served
as ordinarily save that the most valu-
able and antique silver plate and pew
ter are used. special sauces are served
with the meats, and home breWed ale
and queens own special beer. liquor
OF great potency. are served in the
valuable old tankards.

ENGLAND BEGINS GENERAL POLICY
 OF RETRENCHINC Q

London, Nov. 22-Drastie economy in all municipal expenditures during the period of the war is the order of the day in England. The. Treasury has enjoined upon all city and village corporations to keep down their cap itaI expenditures as closely as poss1- bles and the Local Government Board which has the supervision of these bodies has notified them that unusual expenditures except on4account of iTa- perative public health requirem ents or to facilitate the output of muni- tioals win not be sanctioned.
 In London the Education Commit tee of the County Council proposes to save more than a, million and half dollars of the estimates of about 26 millions. Fuel alone is the excep- ton as the higher prices prevailing. will mean an increase in cost Of $b0,- 900. There is a cut of nearly half a million in teachers salaries, which Is made possible by the fact that many have enlisted in the army, and the schools will get along with smaller staff. ChiIdren's meals, and books which have been sacrificed to the amount of $170,000, and there will be a drastic cut in such luxuries as paint and repairs.
 The Corporation of Liverpool is
  Street repairs will be reduced from the average of recent years by $15o.-- 900, and $25,0oo will be saved on the single item of flower beds in the parks.
 The changed conditions of wartime themselves have brought about con siderable saving to the cities. Four thousand employees of thee ity of Liverpool are serving in the army and navy. Nearly third of the London police have enlisted, and there are only 2,OOO men available for service at one time in the Metropolitan area, which does not include the old Guy of London. The work of the absen- tees is done largely by the citizen special constables. The total of cfai1- drens' meals in the Liverpool schools the past year was reduced to 64,oV0 which was barely 3, tenth or the usual number. This reduetion was due to the decrease in unemployment, as only the needy children are fed at public expense.
 Criticism is made by the news papers of certain extravagances by various public bodies. A taxpayer writes to the Daily Mail proposing economy in the Lord Mayors banquet at the Guildhall, and says That our leading statesmen should preacn. economy from the House of Commons ana then adjourn to a Lord Mayors banouet of the usual type would surely be an inconsistency too great even TOT politicians" Attacks are made upon the aldermen of a suburban munlc17 pality for refurnishing their council chamber at a cost of $3, 300, but this case is a contrast to the general rule of retrenchment.

POLITICAL SERMONS.

One of the features of the old time Thanksgiving day. and of the F'ase day observed in some of the older states, was the custom of many clergymen to preach political ser mons. The rest of the year they were mostly busy with old time theol- ogy But on these secular holidays they were considered free to take up affairs of state and nation.
 The old time minister might be all most the only. literally educated man in the community. This gave him a feeling of superior authority. On occasion he would challenge the pow CTS of the political field with. vigorous cham pionship or denunciatioI1. In the days before railroads people would sometimes travel score Of miles over the road to hear some not ed person on these subjects. In times when newspapers were crude, it was an expression of public sentiment that the politicians could not disre- gard
 There are a great many ministers today who could deliver some telling arraignments of modern politics and politicians, fully equal to any of the old time jereniads. When what seems to them some good political cause is at stake at the polls, it must take some restraint for them to re- strain speech. But these are difficult matters to discuss in the pulpit. Good men divide over all the great ques- tions. The ministers who names parties and candidates may lose his standing as the prophet of God and become a mere stump speaker,
 There are phases of politics, how ever. that the clergy should take note of even more frequently than they do. One of these is the failure of so many. so-called good citizens to attend eau cuses and elections and to give thoughtful consideration to pending issues. This indifference is a more threatening evil than the active wick edness of any rogues or grafters.
 The modern minister may~not find 1t profitable to challenge thigh au-- thority quite pointedIy and per sonally as did his predecessors. But he should not fail to attack the civic indolence represented in his pews. Tn any gathering there are always many who are governed by very sordid and ungenerous motI-.es in casting a bal lot. The pulpit should emphasize better ideals of citizenship

A.F. OF |. CLOSES
 CONVENT ION IN
 STORMY SESSION

San Francisco, Nov. 25--A resolu- ton endorsing legislative methods in obtaining a universal eight hour law was defeated by a vote of 8,486 to 6.- 3e6 at the final session of the 35th annual convention of the American Federation of Labor after a heated debate between President Gompers and John Fitzpatrick, president of the Illinois State Federation of Labor.
 The convention then went on record in favor of economic pressure only to obtain shorter hours.
 The final session of the labor dele gates was the storr1iest of the con- vention and did not adjourn until early today.
 The vote on the eight hour resolu- ton was victory for President Conn pers who declared that the Socialist party was behind the attempt, to force the Federation to endorse the pro- posed eight hour day legislation.
 Power is grayitating from the bal lot box to the industrial held," said .Goupers. I''That graVitation will go on I will not trust the fate of labor to politics I want Congress to give us only our freedom to fight out on an economic basis our bottles, free dom to achieve. I want the travail of sacrifice and the tears of our wo- men if necessary upon which to build 1abor's economic. freed dom.''
 The convention went on record in favor of an American merchant mar inc and refused to take favorable cog nizance of the naval increases.
 In accordance with action taken at a previous session, a committee was appointed to survey the problem of unemployment and vagrancy in the United States.
 A resolution was adopted requiring the Federation to give serious atten7 ton to organization labor in Idaho. The convention will meet next year in Baltimore.

INSURANCE RATES ON BREWERY WORKERS IS CUT S5
 PER CENT.
Result of small Number of Accidents
 Among Light Beer Workers
Ilst. Louis Globe-pemoerat.l


 A reduction of B per cent. in em- ployers' liability insurance for em- p1oyes of Missouri breweries went into effect last week, This virtually is the only industry in which the rates were cut. The new schedule, af- fecting all Missouri industries, which became effective November l, record ed an average increase of about 33 per cent, in rates.
 The brewery rate was reduced from AZ cents to 27 cents per $10O of pay roll. and the distillery rate was irl- creased from ' 5 cents to $1.25.
 The companies did not decrease the brewery rates out of friendliness to the brewery owners, was the declara- ton of E. v. Thompson. president of the Insurance Federation of Mis- souri.
 The cut in rates was ordered af- ter reports showing sthe experience of all the casualty companies in Missouri Comp pensation Bureau of New York 2 Thompson said. The reports showed that the accidents in breweries have been constantly decreasing.
 The lowness of the new brewery rates indicates that the insurance com .panies do not regard the drinking of light beers as causing any addition to the hazard Involved in the insur- ing of a factory full of employees.
 In fact, the companies have long impressed upon their agents in cities and towns throughout the country that an almost negligible number of accidents have been caused through the emp1oyes' drinking of light beers. although many accidents are attribut- able to over-indulgence in more intox- icating beverages,
