Omitted Press staR Correspondent
AT THE NORTH POLE, Dec.
23-(Via Wireless 1T was pitch
dark when the United Press man
got here to see Santa Claus this
year; and he had to ring the
sleigh bells at the main entrance
of Santa's big silver barn for a
long time before anybody answer
ed. Finally a big, CHEEKY voice
inside called out:
Hello, there! Why don't you
turn on the lights?"
Where are they7" the reporter
called back.
Why" said Santa with a
chuckle, as he rolled back one OF
the big. black marble doors and
stepped out. they're where the
Northern Lights ought to be; in
this gold and silver box fastened
to the North Pole over here" So
saying he switched them on, and
say, weren't they beauties.
The Finest Lights Ever.
Maybe you've seen the Northern
Lights; great. glowing shaft of purple
and crimson and white, all laced and
woven with the softest hues and
tints you ever saw.
I was bit worn out getting ready
for the trip" said Santa as he turned
around and shook hands, "and I was
just getting a little nap Won't you
sit down. We walked over to a
big frosted snow bench in front Of the
barn.
Things were a lot different than

directions. The reporter knew that
pretty soon the hundreds OF little

Hundreds of Little Barns.
All that was here last year. Tbss
year there was something more. All
around the big silver barn there were
hundreds Of little barns and every one
ct them built of hammered gold ano
green marble. And in each one Of
them was little polished steel
sleigh and fifty teams Of baby rein
deer.
Il see what you're looking at" said
Santa Claus. "and I suppose you're
wondering what the idea is" Or
course the reporter was wondering so
Santa explained:
I've been trying to do too much
all by myself. The world is growing
so fast. there are so many more little
boys and girls and grown ups than
there used to be and I am getting SO
old that I had to get somebody to help
me or else give up trying to get all
around to everybody in one night

SITUATION EASIER.

Arrival Of two car loads of coal that
had been delayed in shipment and de-
SPARED of, eased the situation at the
Hammond pumping station late yes

Joseph Kasper from worry. The coal
came yesterday just after Engineer
Kasper had made up his mind to. grab
car load that had been set on a sid

sary.

prepared by the Committee of 100. Chair

lows: $12 per month for the oldest child /;
$40 per month for the next Oldest child. and
So per month for each additional child. not

any one family; these amounts to con-
tinue until each child becomes Ia years Of
age, when the allowance ceases.

will not exceed one-tenth Of q mill, or one
one-hundreth part of cent annually upon
the taxable property Of the State of Mary
land.
The Mothers Pension law has already
passed in 81 States, and is pending in
many others.
Stress is laid on the fact that the pay
ment of pension is business PROPOSE
ton between the mothers and the State
and the city and county that the element

Judge Peter. of the Circuit Court here,
has passed a decree I'm the matter of the
deed of trust from Oswald X. Siddicum
and wife to Reginald W. Baldwin and Henry
H. Classic, Trustees"
The deed of trust is dated the l4th Of

ratified by the Court.
Exceptions to the sale were filed by

property was sold for much less than its
real value.
The Courts decree is that the exceptions
be overruled and dismissed and that the
exceptant, Robert H. Mcneil, pay the costs
which have accrued under said exceptions.
The property involved in this suit con-
tains about four and three-quarter acres of
land and is located in a subdivision called
Silver Spring Park. this county. 1t is i'm
proved by an unfinished building. designed
for hotel purposes, containing fifty-four
