CHRISTMAS FACTS IN BRIEF

Christmas day is the anniversary
of the birth of Christ, and has
been celebrated as a Christian fes-
tlval for several centuries. The
Christmastide lasts from the 25th
OF December to the 9th day of Jan
uary, the twelfth day after Christ's
nativity.
The origin of the Christmas tree
is obscure; the thought of Christ
as the Light of the World and the
Tree of Life may have given rise
to the light-bearing tree, or the
popular old belief that every
Christmas eve, trees blossomed and
bore fruit, may have been the
foundation of the custom.
Gift-giving is, of course, the
echo of the Wise Mems gifts; and
mince pie, turkey and plum pud-
dings are modern relics of the pa

Chicago, Dec. 20.-Dr. A. A
Nicholson of the University Of
Chicago says that anyone hold
ing the new Einstein theory Of
RELATIVELY" must also accept the
following conclusions:
"A yardstick is shorter when il
is pointing east and west thar
when it is pointing north and
south.
"a clock will run slower when
it is being moved than when it is
standing.
IA mass of matter is greater
when it is at rest"
DR.. Nicholson was winner of the
$4,000 Nobel prize for physics
in 1917. His investigations in the
action of light brought on tktI
discussion leading up to the Elm
stem tests and hypothesis which
have aroused so much comment
in the scientific world.
Mr.. Nicholson stated that the
consequences of the Einstein the
DRY are radical and then he told
the effect it would have on the
yard stick, clock and solid body.
But he added that we need not get
excited about it, even if Einstein
is right.
"The movement of the earth is
small when compared to the We

is as warm and comfortable as
your library. A candle gives as
much illumination as three cleo
trio lights, because of the intense
Wilderness Of the snow. The snow
house will stand under any condi-
tions. In all, the igloo is as com
Portable a home as a man could
wish.
"The concrete hut, like the wood
en- hut, must be uncomfortable
and unsanitary. Wherever the ma
tives have changed from the snow
to the wooden home there has fol-
lowed pneumonia and typhoid and
a tremendous increase in the death
rate.
"The Eskimos are a migratory
race. Contract with civilization
has affected them and they are
dying off. They must soon be ex
tinct and the concrete hut hastens
that extinction. The Eskimos are
like the gypsies. Try to keep a
gypsy in a house of concrete and
see what happens
"Still, the Eskimos might be
converted to the concrete hut"
went on Mr.. Stefansson, smiling.
"If it becomes the fashion. Should
concrete homes become fashionable,
all Eskimos would soon be living
in them. Human nature is the
same the world over. Let some
one introduce the wearing of furs,
as fashion, in the Zulu Islands,
and the natives there would wear
furs. Women wear furs in Cali
fornia and Florida, where the eli
mate is just as hot as on the Zulu
Islands. SO you see, you never
can tell."'

winds among thorn-strewn hills
passing now and again little iso-

where the Mexican inhabitants
peer at strangers suspiciously. and
try to decide whether they will re-

A military telephone line strug-
giles along the road, on poles not
much bigger than rake handles.
The inhabitants, who ranch in a
desultory way, and farm even
more casually, still use OK carts in
many parts of the county. Gus
toms guards patrol the river front
and watch the fords of the Rio
Grande. 1t was one of these, a
half-bred Mexican named Cham

who helped the cavalry beat off
the bandits at San Ygnacio in 1916.
Racially and geographically the

relatively belongs to the realm OF
higher physics, but nevertheless
is an important matter and the
Einstein theory is to be seriously
reckoned with"
Professor Nicholson, however
does not as yet accept the theory
as it is taught by the great Swiss
mathematician, because it does
away with the idea of light travel
ing by means of the virations IN
ether which is supposed to fill all
space.
"Einstein thinks that there is
no such thing as ether" declared
the Chicago professor. "He does
not attempt to account for the
Transmission of light, but he holds
that ether should be thrown over
board. Ether gives US some refer
ence point for motion, but accord
ing to the Einstein theory all mo-
ton is relative. However, l be-
lieve it is possible, with certain
notifications of this hypothesis, to
square it with the ether theory
and the necessity of some medium
for the transmission of light. Then
my main objection would be re-
moved"

Stockings For Christmas Only

The Christmas stocking as gen
orally known is one taken from the
bureau supply for daily wear. In
certain parts Of the country, how
ever, the Christmas stocking is
never in use except to be "hung
from the chimney with care" The
New England stocking of this kind
is usually long in the leg and
knitted from wooden yarn. There
are stockings on Cape Cod which
have been used for four genera
lions of children. Once emptied of
their treasure on Christmas morn
ing they are rolled up and marked
and laid away for the next years

Icy Huts Only

New York, Dec. 20.-The move
ment to modernize the Eskimo by
providing him with concrete huts
IN place of his picturesque snow
igloos," as suggested by an Off
clai OF the United States bureau
OF fisheries, would be the death of
the denizen of the icy north, in the
opinion of Vilhjalmur Stefansson,
the Arctic explorer. Not only is
the Eskimo devoted to his age
long habitation as the South Sea
islanders are to their traditional
garb of flower gardens and fresh
smiles, but he is far healthier,
warmer and more comfortable in

The statement that the natives
of the Prybiloff Islands were
about to discard their snow huts
for modern concrete huts, finding
the gales of the Bearing Sea too
strong for the former, upon which
the story of the intended change
of Eskimo habits was based, Mr..
Stefansson characterized as too
silly for discussion The explorer,
talking at his headquarters at the
National Geographical society

headed for Aleppo, which means
a hot, dusty journey of severa
hundred miles across the plain.
The immediate cause of this exc.
dus of Christians is the attitude
of their Moslem neighbors, coup
led with the notorious reputation
that Diarbekir won for itself in
the massacres and deportations a
few years ago, but back of it is Il
feeling of restlessness because of
the fact that months have passed
since the armistice, and as yet
nothing has been done to guaran-
tee the security of the non-Mos-
lem population.
The Near East relief the Amer
lean organization which is distri-
buting aid to the survivors of the
massacres through station in d.
arbekir, has succeeded IN obtain
ing assurance from the authori-
ties that the Christians will not BE-
molested by the government, and
that they may resume their oc-
equations. This assurance, how.
ever, applies only to the authori-
ties, and means that the Christ
ians are only to consider that if
disorders begin, they will not, al
least, be at the open instigation
of the government. 1t does not
entirely promise protection, and
therefore the Christians, afraid
that the Moslems may turn
against them at any moment, are
electing to seek safety in flight.
The situation is having it's eff
feet on the work of the relief or
ganization which is recovering the
Christian girls who were carried
off, during the deportation, TO
Moslem harems. This work has
been going on for weeks, the relief
workers being undismayed by the
thought of personal peril. Now,
however, the Moslems are threat
ening the girls with death if they
permit themselves to be rescue;
and many Of them are afraid IA
leave their masters.
Large numbers of these girls
remain to be recovered. In the
early months Of 1915 about g..
900 Christians were exiled from
Diarbekir, and from their rank:
were taken hundreds of the pref
test young women. Even some Of
those who escaped, and remained
hidden in the vicinity throughout
the denortations, later sold them
selves to the Turks, confronted as
they were with the alternative Of
doing this or of starving to death.
