Helpful Hint.

An emergency bag is very con-
venient addition to the medicine clos
ct; it should be made of two strips of
heavy linen or denim, about six or
seven inches deep, the back piece to
be made about Is inches long and
the front q inches; the two strips
should be bound together at the ends
and across the bottom, then stitched
to form several pockets (eight or
nine) flap should be buttoned over
the top and each pocket labeled with
indelible ink. One pocket should con-
tain rolls of bandages, another bits
of old soft linen, another lint from
WORKOUT napkins; other pockets
should be made to hold bottles of ar
MICA, witch-hazel, carbolic, Jamaica
ginger, absorbent cotton, a box OF
healing salve, apiece of CASTLE soap
and one-half dozen fingers cut from
old, large kid gloves.

PATHETIC
SANTA CLAUS
Woman Detective Refused to Arrest
Shop Litter When She Saw
Insice Of Home.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service ]
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 23.-The
most pathetic Santa Claus in San
Francisco is ont of Jail today because
the wheels of the law were gummed
UP by the Christmas spirit and would
not work.
A woman detective followed Mrs.
X"-this particular Santa Claus-to
her poverty stricken home in the
Mission district, fully intent on ar
resting her on charge of shop lifting.
But there she met the stare Of four
tiny children, ar aemic and gaunt from
hunger and neglect.
The detective was woman, and
right or wrong, she refused to rob
the family of Christmas. even if it
was shop-lifted.
Il won't book her" said the lieu
tenant at the police station.
Il won't charge her. said the de-
tective.
Il won't punish her." said Police
Judge Brady.
SO the family's Christmas dinner
will be as happy as any this year
even if it was assembled through
means not ordinarily recognized by
the law.
The husband of Mrs. X" is para

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.--Wal street

1t needed to get back its head-after
the dizzy whirl Of the past week. Be-
tween counting their bonus payments.
the clerks toiled desperately, seeking
to clear up the tremendous mass OF
business incident, first, upon Lloyd
Georges speech; then upon President
Wilson's note; next upon Secretary
Lansing's first statement and finally
upon the Lansing second explanation.
The excitement had quieted down a
little by today, giving brokers and
spectators an opportunity to digest
the charge made by congressional
resolution that some one in Wall
street was able to make a killing
by advance information on the presi.
dents note.
Operators expected the market to
calm down from now on-but broker
age houses were still holding the
safeguard Of demanding big margins
for trading. So-called investment
traders were hunting for bargains
,refTecting the general opinion that the
rebound was now on the way.
What Wall street was most inter
ested in today, however, was the
golden shower" Today was distri-
button day for the bonus which most
firms granted their employes-and
the bonus in almost ever case was far
in excess Of any gratuities hereto
fore. In some cases it ran as high as
25 per cent Of the employees salary.
An active market such as that Of the
past week means more commissions
to brokers-more profits.

ed failure OF certain curb broker,

brief resistance from the Carranzista
garrison, which then abandoned the
city.
Authentic reports of the fall OF
Torreon were obtained by United
States department officials here dur
ing the night and transmitted to
Washington. Despite the silence OF
the Mexican consulate, United States
authorities here appear sure OF their
ground. This stroke places Villa at
the height of his power since General
Pershings expedition chased his
broken bands into Durango.

mining men here learned additional
details Of the Carranzista disaster:
With six troop trains, the bandit chief
passed through Bermedjillo after the
Sovernemnt forces had hastily with
drawn into Torreon. Led by Colonel
Fernandez. the Villistas started their
attacks upon the Coahuila metropolis
through Gomez Palacio and Lerdo
before daybreak yesterday. They met
with desultory resistance from the
Carranza forces, meantime the gov
ernment garrisons estimated at from
one to three thousand men, evacuat-

Several Americans in charge OF the
foreign owned enterprises fled to
Asuas Calientes before the attack
began. Preparations for evacuation
had been made and the garrison at
Torreon made good their escape. All
lines of communications north are
now held by the bandit chief.

however, by a real Christmas feed and
the opening of Christmas boxes from
relatives. friends and strangers who
are interested in their welfare.
Each unit will stage its own Christ

orally consist of racing, boxing, wrest-
ling, competitive drills and shooting.
The chaplain of each organization will
conduct a special divine service. There
will be few Christmas trees, as most
of the soldiers are stationed in a
country where the only trees are in
