made little round tunnels Unjust such
a comfortable stack, nicely sheltered
from the wind. The recent snow al
most buried US alive and there were
two days when we couldn't even hop
about but stayed huddled up in our
inmprovised homes. = - ~ (, ~.
Z The snow certainly made beauti-,
full soft, white world, but when, I
could crawl out Of my tunnel and
look around = found that q certain
little brown-eyed lady was not. re-
ing the world as a picture. VIXEN I:
peeped through the window Of her,
coy living room, what do you Think
she was weeping bitterly. "a Dretty
yellow canary in little .cfampy cage
was just bursting his throat singing
to her. A merry fire was crack king
somewhere. I could. see pantry
stocked with good things,ea horrid lat
was curled up on pretty, rug Il
hate cats), and best ct all y spied a
fat baby asleep in nearby room. I
thought Mrs. Brown Eyes must be
crying because there. are SO many
starving children across the sea. Not
a bit Of it, for, when her husband,
Bronze-Face,- came in she told him
she had the Christmas blues. Now, I
have heard that Christmassis the day
that man celebrates the birthday an
niversary Of the greatest man who
ever lived: In olden days, the birds
SAY, a >sheaf of grain was put out on
pole for the birds to feast on, so
even the birds celebrated. Nowadays
we are not given this feast, but l
think we ought to be happy anyway,
but here was dear Mrs. Brown Eyes
weeping. The Christmas blues is a
disease that comes from the gift-giv-
ing custom, or rather the lack OF
means to give expensive gifts.
,''Now, Iknow that Cousin Susan
will send me something, worth five
dollars, and Aunt Mary has always
been SO generous, and I thought that
when the grain prices were SO high
and our potato crop SO big that this
year could out-do them all, but the
bdtt ON has fallen out of everything
for us farmers-boo-hoo" So wept
this dear little lady, My, but I'm
glad T am a sparrow and can't have
the Christmas blues.

TURKISH HIGH PRIESTESS
ESCAPES FROM ALLIES
Halide Edib Hanem, Authoress and
Advocate of Pan-lslamism,
Reaches Angora.
BY SIR PERCIVAL PHILLIPS
(UnIyersaI service).

CONSTANTINoPLE, April 1s,-One
of the romances of the nationalistic
movement has been the escape from
the allied lines of Halide Edib Hanem.
the famous Turkish woman author
and high priestess of Pan-Islamism.
She has just safely reached Angora,
accompanied by her husband, a physi-
clan and head of the Red Crescent
(Turkish Red CROSSE.
When the allies occupied Constan-
tinople and rounded up the chief ma
tionalist leaders they made a frantic
but fruitless search for Halide. She
hid here more than a week, where
upon she slipped through the allied
Gordon, cieverly disguised.
Halide is regarded as the most i'm
poftant and influential Turkish ma
tionalist agitator, not excluding Mus
tapha Kemal himself. For years she
has been tirelessly working against
the allies and preaching Turkish ma
tionalism. She was the first Turkish
woman to be trained at the American
Roberts College and was the first war
nurse in the Ottoman empire.

Goods That Undersell Home

Charges that Great Britain is

prices with which the American
manufacturer can not compete. OBJ

NEW TOBACCO TAX BILL
Is PASSED BY THE HOUSE

A tax of cents per pound for to-
bacco sold by the retail loose-leaf
dealers is provided in a bill which
passed the House yesterday, and was
sent to the Senate for action by that
body.
The purpose of the legislation is to
stimulate the sale of loose-leaf to-
bacco. Retail dealings in loose-leaf
tobacco were prohibited by the rev.
enue law of 1918. and large quantities
of tobaccos grown in Tennessee and
kentucky have remained unsold.
Repeal of the 1918 law affecting
loose leaf tobacco would grant relief,
but would result in loss to the Gov
ernment. The Ways and Means Com
mittee desided on the 7-cent a pound
tar as compromise legislation, and
the tobacco dealers believe 1t will
enable them to dispose of their stocks.
