DRESSING CHRISTMAS DOLLS
"1e Sure the Clothes Come On and

Has Had Much Experience.

"Be sure the clothes come on and

woman has to make. every year when
she gets to work at her usual Christ
mas task Of getting so dolls dressed
for 30 little orphans who live in an In
lstitution in which, she Is interested.
She buys the dolls at wholesale prices
and then gets good folk she knows to
dress them, but always with the re-
quest goes this injunction-'be sure
and don't sew the clothes on"
I The r. for this is the fact that
these 5O' girls are like all other
little girls liking dolls that can be
dressed an y uhdressed, and the first
thing they do on receiving their Christ
mas doll is to see how readily 1t may
be dressed and put to bed and then
dressed again.
In dressing dolls 1t Is possible to buy
paper patterns for doll clothes. One
set, sold by a leading pattern concern,
contains cape with q hood, jumper
dress and guimps, bathrobe and a
lpetticoat and drawers-all for ten
cents. The only trouble with this sort
or pattern is that 1t doesn't always At

WIRELESS GETS RID OF "sTATIC"

An invention which has taken the
''static" out Of wireless telegraphy, re-
moving thereby the greatest obstacle
to the clear transmission of radio
messages. has been perfected by Roy
A. Weagant. chief engineer Of the
Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company
Of America. The invention not only
makes possible the sending Of clear
radio messages regardless Of atmos-
pheric conditions, but eliminates ''in-
reference" thereby making possible
the operation Of innumerable radio
stations without crossing" messages.
The invention also does away with
the necessity Of constructing huge
wireless towers. Perfect service can
be obtained with the use Of antennae
extending only few feet from the
ground.
The invention is said to mark a
new era In world communication and

TALKING WITH The BIRDMEN

Col. Clarence G. Culver Of Wash
ington is given chief credit by the war
department for the development Of the
new wireless telephone which enabled
allied airmen to give information and
receive instructions from the ground
while flying at considerable distances
from their bases. A headpiece like
that worn by all telephone operators
IS worn beneath the airman's helmet. A
movable speaking tube Is constantly
near his mouth. Wires from these
pieces connect with battery which
gets its power from the airplane
motor.
'It was in August, 1910, that first
became interested in the possibility Of
sending messages from airplanes,"
Colonel Culver said, "and commenced
q series Of experiments which were so
far successful that in August, 1915, I
was enabled to send radio telegraph

Christmas in America has to adjust
itself 10 different environment from
the old world setting. The heroic strug-
gles Of our pioneer ancestors tuned the
Tyre of one of our ballad writer's to tell
Of 'The First Christmas in New Eng
land" His picture of the forbidding
New England coast presents pitiable
contrast to the warmth and cheer
which memories Of Christmas suggest.
They thought they had come to their
port that day,
But not yet was their journey done:
And they drifted away from Provincetown
Bay
In the fireless light of the sun.
With rain and sleet were the tall masts
But they looked from the crystal sails to
Christ,
And they came to a harbor fair.
The white hills silent lay
( For there were no ancient bells to ring
No priest to chant. no choirs to sing,
No chapel of baron, or lord or king,
That gray. cold winter day."
Then the voyagers remembered the
bells of old England which were ring
ing for Christmas worship and they
forbore to devote the day to labor.
"shall our axes swing on this day of days
When the Lord OF life was born?"
The tragedy Of the Civil war trailed
Its shadow over Longfellow's Christ
mas verse and even his courageous
spirit faltered:
II heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
or peace on earth, good will to men!
And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries OF all Christendom
Had rolled along,
The unbroken song
OF peace on earth, good will to men!"

Snow and Christmas winds seem to
be so closely mingled with Christmas
in the minds of English-speaking peo-
pie that many Of us are scarcely aware
that new traditions of Christmas eli
mate are being built up in parts Of our
wide country. The poet Sill, with his
exquisite art, paints for us picture Of
christmas in California :"
"Can this be Christmas-sweet as May,
With drowsy sun and dreamy air.
The new grass pointing out the way
For nowers to follow, everywhere?
Has time grown sleepy at his post,
And let the exiled summer back.
Or Is It her regretful ghost
Or witchcraft of the almanac?
am his creature, and his air
breathe, where'er my feet may stand;
The angels song rings everywhere,
And all the earth is Holy Land"
Besides the religious spirit of Christ
mas poetry, great deal Of verse has
been written in honor Of st. Nicholas,
Kris Kringle or Santa Claus, as he is
called, and the children. Perhaps one
Of the best known of these poems is
'The Night Before Christmas" by DR..
Clement G. Moore, which begins:
Twas the night before Christmas. when
all through the house,
Not creature was stirring, not even a
mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney
with care,
In hopes that st. Nicholas soon would be
there;
The children were nestled all snug In
their beds, #~
While visions Of sugar plums danced In
their heads" etc.
