Question of Suffrage.

Then came the flood OF subscriptions.
suggestions for the betterment of
Voteless Washington were postponed
until the problems OF advancing the
nations war work are successfully
met.
President Brandenburg, I'm his an
nual report, referred to the many en-
terprises in which the District had
aided the nation. dwelt upon the as
sistance-"unselfish and sacrificing
which the District had given the
United States in the liberty loan
campaigns and similar causes, and
spoke OF the number CT men who
had gone from the District to bear
arms. He told of the tax rate-higher
per capita than that of thirty-six vot-
ing States-and remarked that Wash
ingtonians pay for water which gov
ernment departments use.
Then he demanded to know why the
District was still classed az a COM
munity unworthy to vote.
He declared that no felt that a
united effort on the part of the citi-
zens of the District and the members
OF the Board of Trade through the
joint committee OF trade and civic
organizations on District suffrage
would result in persuading Congress
to grant Washington the ballot.
Opposed to Merger.
Merger with other trade organIza
tions was unnecessary, said Mr.. Bran
dnnbvrg, who said each organization
now existing was formed for a defl-
mite end. Cooperation and not con-
solidation was declared to be the
thing desired.
Following the discussion of reports
and the transaction OF the routine
business a buffet luncheon was served
sweet cider being substituted for the
champagne dispensed at the last an
nual meeting.
This new board Of directors were
elected: William Clabaugh, Frederick
A. Fenning, Walter A. Brown, Louis
A. Dent. George II. Macdonald,
Robert N. Harper, Arthur Carr, Harry
L. Rust, William G. Henderson and

Father Georges
Happiest Christmas

THE most memorable Christmas
i day in the history of our coun-
try was that on which George
Washington crossed the Delaware in
boat, followed by his small but reso-
lutte army, and captured the British
and Hessians at Trenton in 1776, an
important turning point in the early
period of the struggle, says the Phil
adelphia Press. 1t was important in
the fact that the hearts Of the colonists
had been crushed at their vain efforts
to stem the tide of British aggression,
and It was a fine Christmas gift to
the nation when Washington not only
checked their advance, but turned
their jolliflcation In Trenton into a
rout which he followed closely and
which was the first successful resist
ance for the American arms.
The nation had reason to be wild
with JOY at the Christmas gift Wash
ington presented to them, for the
most ardent supporters of the cause
had about given up all hope, and 1t
was only the iron will Of the illustri-
Gus commander in chief that prevent
ed the failure of the war for freedom.
This Christmas day victory gave the
nation a thrill Of hope and joy, for 1t
showed that the despised Continentals
were more than a match for the Ger
man mercenaries.
Washington always afterward af-
firmed that 1t was the happiest Christ
mas Of his life.

HOW WE GOT THE
CHRISTMAS TREE

A PRETTY legend about the origin
IN Of the Christmas tree tells us
that in the beginning Of the
ninth century a certain st. Winfried
went to preach Christianity to the peo-
pie Of Scandinavia and northern Ger
many. One Christmas eve these peo-
pie were gathered round huge oak
to offer human sacrifice, according
to the druid priests, but st. Winfried
hewed down the great tree, and as it
fell there appeared in its place a tall
young fir. When st. Winfried saw 1t
he cried to the people that here was
come new tree, unstained by blood,
which in pointing to the sky showed
them what they we're to worship.
ut Is the Christ Child" he said.
"Carry 1t to the castle as your chief,
and in the future, instead of the bloody
rites Of the druids, your worship shall
be in your own homes, with ceremo-
MES that speak the message Of peace.

Should you feast at a French table
you would be served a fowl Cooked

In Spain you would begin your din

cream, followed by fish roasted before
the fire and basted with lemon, chop

Quite in contrast is the Russian
Christmas dinner, the features being
the national soup "a mixture of beef
bouillon, boiled cabbage, sour cream
and the fermented juice Of beet roots),
served at any time during the day, and

Should you dine in Italy you would
find the principal dish was eels, one
being served to each guest rolled in q

between eight and twelve In the eve

The regulation German Christmas
dinner consists Of roast goose stuffed

MAKING MERRY
CHRISTMAS GIFTS
4 N interesting method of making
Christmas gifts Is described in

IN Christmas gifts is described in
the Woman's Home Companion.
The writer says:
'"Last year, just before Christmas,
one Of my sisters said to me, I want
to give mother some silk for a waist
this year, but don't know whether
she would rather have black or laven-
der, and it spoils all the fun asking.
"As you see, we were family who
gave one another practical presents.
She and talked 1t over, and we hit
upon the cleverest plan. Instead of
having our gifts before breakfast In
the library, as usual on Christmas
morning, we had little tree about
two feet high on the table, hung and
piled about with tiny packages. Moth
er's waist was cut from a fashion
magazine and with three one-dollar
bills, wrapped in small jewelry box.
Mary'S umbrella was made from
toothpick and a dollar bill. Father
gave me tiny dolls muff in a pill
box with ten dollar bill inside, and
he gave mother a bright colored rug
cut from a magazine, just the size Of
ten dollar bill, which was pasted
lightly to the back.
"The whole thing was rolled on a
stick 1t was great fun, and when
the holiday rush was over we did our
Christmas shopping, and none of the
surprise had been taken aWay by ask
