figure in the proposed merger of the
Douglas Park and Latonia tracks. 1t
is doubtful if Churchill Downs will
be included in the deal.

Senator Thomas A. Combs, Judge

night to discuss the proposition to
buy the Latonia and Douglas Park
tracts from Celia, Adler and Titles,
of st. Louis, and Mrs. John Conden,
of Chicago.
Whether or not the deal goes
through seems to depend entirely
upon the willingness of the New Lou

las Park track off the hands OF the
people who will go into the organiza-
ton that is, to buy the two tracks
from the st. Louis and Chicago in
terests. either by purchase or under

CHRISTMAS DAY JOYFULLY Oh
SERVED IN PARIS.

The greatest Christmas since the
f1rst which marked the birth of the
Prince OF Peace, was celebrated Wed
nesday, when joys Of peace and vic
tory brought added Christmas cheer
into hundreds of Paris homes whose
SONS had helped make this one of the
happiest Yuletides in history. Many
returning soldiers arrived in Paris to
spend the holidays with their fami-
lies, and late in the day the hopes of
the youngsters for "a white Christ
mas" and the opportunity to try out
their new sleds and skates brighten
ed when a light snow began to fall.
There were no Sunday school or
charity Christmas trees for the chill
dren, as the order of the Board Of
Health prohibits the attendance of
those under twelve years old at any
public gathering, but the kiddies had
their own good time just the same
There were many happy family re-
unions, and the Christmas spirit " as
everywhere in evidence. Merchants
report the volume of Christmas trade
as largely exceeding that of the
Christmas in 1917. Many merchants
sold out almost their entire stocks
Charity workers distributed Christ
Santa Claus forgot" and the day
was made memorable one in many
ways all around. Services were held
at several churches.
The streets were almost deserted
in the afternoon, after the business
houses had closed for the day, and af-
ter the belated Christmas gifts and
forgotten supplies for Christmas din
ners had been secured during the
morning. Family parties were the
rule and the dinner hour found in
the restaurants and hotels only the
unfortunate who could not get home
or the lonely persons with no ICON
nections." The opening of the pct
ure houses afforded the movie-hun-
cry people an opportunity for relax
alton. Altogether, it was most en-
joyable Christmas
The sum of $105.17 represented by
a check for that amount, was raised
in Paris through the efforts of Bour-
bon Lodge, and Mayor E. B. January,
and forwarded to the Odd Fellows
Orphans and Widows Home in Lex
1nSLOn.
All the Sunday schools of the Paris
churches observed Christmas in
quiet way, the spirit of the white
Christmas prevailing as it has for
several years The children and
adults contributed everything in the
way of groceries and other edibles for
distribution among the less fortunate
ones of the city. On Tuesday after
noon the children of the Baptist Sun
day school made a very generous Of
fering of provisions, fruits, candy,
etc, and in return were given or
anges and candy packages. The
Christmas baskets of the Christian
church were sent out on. Christmas
morning, as has been the usual. Gus
tom. Forty families were made hap
by in this way. This generous work
was made possible through the ru-
pills of the Sunday school.

Fish Scales and Rubber Combination.

An important use has been found for
fish scales, namely as IA reinforcement for
rubber, according to the November Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine The resihency
and toughness of this waste product is
we'll known. The inventor of the new
rubber compound claims that the cellular
struture and the chemical nature OF the
scales are such that they readily combine
with rubber and respond to sulphur treat
ment in the same manner as rubber. Thus
fish scales and rubber combined can b,
vulcanized to produce substance that il
tough and hard, but at the same time
elastic.
