There seems to be an inexhausti-
bic supply Of Jewish musical prodi-
gies. We read about a Samuel

been awarded the $500 Pulitzer
prize by Columbia University for
his string quartet, and has also won
the $500 James Loeb prize for must
cal composition at the Institute of

REMOVAL 0F DUTIES
 STIMULATE COMMERCE

Mexico City, Dec. 25.-Extraordinary extended to President Carranza by the powers in financial matters have been chamber of deputies. This action was taken after the president had sent 3 message to the chamber outlining the necessity for such powers.
 Under the new authority granted, President Carranza is expected soon to issue decrees removing until June 90, 1919 import duties on food stuffs, articles of primary necessity to the country and on agricultural imple- ments and irrigation machinery, it is expected that the duties on auto mobiles will be removed for a period of three months.
 Constitutional reforms have been proposed by which the force of several sections of the constitution will be mitigated. These refer principally to sections governing the power of state legislatures to fix the maximum num- Der of clergy participating in religious rites and require that all members of the clergy be native born Mexicans. Clauses dealing with the nationaliza- tion of church property will be brought into agreement by another proposed amendment.

Darwjn's First Expedition.

The first scientific expedition of Charles Darwin was commenced eighty
 seven years ago today, Dec. 27, 1881, when the British brig Beagle, Capt
 Fitroy, sailed for South America. Char les Darwin, then q youngster just out of Cambridge, was chosen as the na- turalist of the expedition. For five years the Beagle voyaged in strange places seldom visited by white men, and in the period Darwin changed from thouhgtless youth, to whom the expedition had seemed something of a lark, to the observer of Nature whose long and patient investigations were to revolutionize the thoughts of the

Signs.

The first tradesmen to adopt signs were the innkeepers, and from earliest times in England and on the contin- ent the taverns of town and country weer distinguished by signboards bear ing the names of the hostelries. It was not until the sixteenth century that merchants dealing in other than liquid refreshments began to erect signs over their doors. Once started, the custom spread rapidly, and. the seventeenth century was a period of greatest pros perity for the sign-painters of Eng land. Even in London the houses and shops were not numbered, so trades mans place of business could only be known by 3 sign. The ingenuity of the merchants was taxed, in such a city as London, to provide an original and striking sign that would stick in the memories of passersby. A man start ing in business considered a striking sign his most important investment. These signs often of huge size, were sometimes slung entirely across the street AS they grew old they some times fell, and thus they became a source of danger. Such signs were pro- hibited by Parliament in England in 1762, and after, that merchants had to be content with more modest ones, placed flat against the fronts of their buildings.

PerpetuatiOn of the Name of Fa- nous Yale Athlete May Be
 Commenced; Killed in France.

At the meeting of the Intercolle- giate Association of Amateur Athlet- ics of America it is expected that a sugge stion of Walter Camp ill regard to perpetuating the name of Johnny Overton, the great Faie athlete who was killed in France, will re adopt ed. Mr Camps suggestion is that the the annual intercollegiate cross country run be named John w. Over ton Perpetual Trophy race. Overton was the winner of this event i'll 1915 and again in 1916, and was cne ot the greatest long distance runners O. recent years The Meadow'orooll club of Philadelphia has already changed the name of it's annual fix ture from the Meadowbrook Mile tl the Johnny Overton Mile.
 An illustration of the rapldlty with which events are moving nova. days is seen in the case of the maJol leagus, which are completing the'I plans for the resumption Of tht game in the 1919 season. Just two months ago the magnates were rec onciled to year of idleness, fol with the players in the army ano navy or in the shipyards and thu prospect of months of continued warfare, the outlook for baseball was gloomy indeed, Now everything has changed and the prospects ar' the brightest.

Eighty-Seyen Years Ago Darwin Made His First Expedition to South America. ,
Celebrates His Birthday ill England.

Celebrates His Birthday in England.
 Sixty-two years ago tomorrow there was born in Staunton, Va, the man upon those word the world waits to- day, and who has become greater than kings and emperors-Thomas Wood row Wilson, twenty-eighth President of the United States. President Wilson is the first chief executive of the Uni ted States to visit Europe and the first chief executive of the United States to visit Europe and the first one to celebrate his birthday on foreign soil.
 President Wilson's father was Joseph Ruggles Wilson, who was of Scotch-Irish descent, a Presbyterian, a Southerner to the core and preach CT who could prove by numerous Bible texts that the institution of slavery was ordained. The Presidents mother was b.rn Jessie Woodrow. -.
 Tommy Wilson was a bright and studious lad, and received his early education in private schools at Au- gust, Ga, and Columbia, s. c. The first decade of his life was marked by stirring and tragic events, with ? the North and South struggling with each other in terrific combat. After 3 period at Davidson College. in North Carolina, Tommy Wilson went to Princeton, and became Thomas Wood- row Wilson. Entering the famous New Jersey institution of learning in 1875, he graduated four years later, and re- turned to his native state to take a law course at the University of Vir- ginia.
 srt1 Ho e w. Wilson began the practice of law in Atlanta, Ga, and there the young barrister met and fell in love with Ellen Louise Axson, of Savannah, the daughter of a Presbyterian minister. They were married in 1885. Their first child, Margaret, was born in 1886, Jes- sic Woodrow in 1887, and Eleanor Randolph in 1889 The latter is now Mrs. William G. McAdo., wife of the Secretary of the Treasury.
 Woodrow Wilson commenced his career as an educator at Bryn FawI College in 1885. and professor of his tory and political economy. In 1888 he went to Wesleyan University, and in 1890 began his connection with Price ton, his alma mater, frs as professor of Jurisprudence and politics, and, or Aug 1, 1902, as president. In 1911 he was elected Governor of New Jersey and on Nov. 4, 1912, the people of the United States placed him in the presi dental chair, to which he was re elected in 1916.
 Pre.Ident Wilson is ne author o numerous works on political and his toric subjects. His messages have bee, maSternieceS of 1ieratu 4 and ar, probably the most beautifully worde( documents the world has ever seen The first Mrs. Wilson died in August 1914, and little more than year later the President married Edith Bollins Galt, of Washington, who is now il France with him.
