BRITISH ISLES
 GLOOMY OVER
 UNEMPLOYMENT

London, Dec. 24.-Christmas Eve approaches with thousands of men and women unemployed throughout the British Isles. Relief measures of a temporary character have been suggested by Premier L1oyd-George but these have failed to satisfy the labor leaders or the job1ess.
 It appears today that the Prime Minister would not have Yule-Tide holidays minus political cares. The council of action, which represents the consolidated fighting section of prominence over night by:
 1.-Launching a campaign to force direct aid for the unemployed, who are in difficult straits as winter ap- breaches.
 threatened break in the British Rus sian negotiations for resumption of trade.
 Labor leaders contend the two sit nations, which for all practical re- suits, have become deadlocked, are trade is resumed much of England s unemployment will disappear.
 Meanwhile, the council of action is determined that the jobless-tho us- ands of whom saw service in France shall not suffer. Even resump- ed even by labor as bad economics, but necessary in many cases, may be :u.4isted upon, for even a government allowance of S5 or $6 week to those who can get no work will afford some relief.
 suade Premier Lloyd-George of the reasonableness of meeting labor's views regarding unemployment and resumption of Russian trade.

Xmas Spirit Makes
 Judge Pardon Boys

there was a certain sacred affinity be- tween children and Christmas which it would be quite as sacriligious to profane as was the act of the boys themselves when they stuffed the dominies automobile lamps with sand and plundered the St. Cloud school. It was a silly notion, but it preyed upon the recorders mind to such an extent that heb arely touched his dinner last evening and announced that he was sick ana was going to bed
 He didn't go immediately, however. Instead he went out on his porch and watched people hastening homeward from thes tation in the soft radiance of the moon. Every group was chat ting and laughing excitedly, as if on the eve of some gay event. Parcels protrdued from every pocket and were clasped under every arm. Holly g1istened and g1owed in passing auto mobiles and in the hospltab1y un- shaded windows that shone on every side. A brilliant star in the west that defied the rising moon winked at the recorder with merry boldneSs.
 Recorder Lander, hatless, dinner less and peaceless, stumped up and down his porch muttering: Idiots! Sentimental idiots!"
 The star winked again just as Re corder Lander pivoted in his sentry go. and instead of completing the turn he stumped stolidly down the steps any out into the moonlight m groups and the whirring holly-laden motor cars straight toward the star that was low in the west.
 His course also was straight to- ward the three houses where gloom huddled beside the yule log. and three small boys, ten, eleven and twelve years old, looked forward to Christ mas for the first time in their lives with numb despair.
 It was Santa Claus himself that was stalking along through the moon light, hatless, dinnerless and peace less but not one of the hurrying g groups that slowed their pace to gaze after the strange, muttering figure guessed it, and Recorder Lander him. suspect it. Only the star, low in the west, knew it and winked.
 Heed1ess of precedent, Santa plodded boldly to one front door af- ter another until he had visited all three of the other Christmasless houses, leaving at each the same jerky, suited message.
 Sorry" he said; "got to reconsider that sentence. Ought not to do it- sentimental idiocy-but, well, it's all off so far as Christmas is concerned. Let lem sit up as late as they want anybody's give 'em, eat all the turkey and cranberry sauce and candy they can sold, and then-sentimen idiocy-pack 'em off to bed at 6:30 Christmas night and every night after that, just as I told them in court
 The star sank behind the hills in the west as the Recorder delivered the message for the last time. He didn't even notice it. There was a peaceful joy in moonlit scene that possessed his soul. But not his body.
 My word!" exclaimed the Record CT, as he strode toward the cheery windows of his own home, but I'm hungry! And no hat, too! I wonder if there's any of that pie left?'

COOKED THE EVIDENCE;
 CASE IS DISMISSED

Los Angeles, Dec. 24.-Evidence that is in any way cooked up" does not 'go" in Police Judge Hugh j. Crawford's court.
 This was declared to have been proved after the judge had dismissed a case against H. Zirn. a harbor fisherman and captain of a vessel of the local fishing fleet.
 Zirn was taken into custody by a deputy of the State Fish and Game commission. The officer took from the fisherman as evidence three gunnysacks filled with Holsters. It was charged that many of the lob sters exceeded sixteen inches in length, the maximum size permitted by the law for such catches.
 As the fisherman was not taken inn mediately to court, the deputy conceived the idea of boiling the evil dence as a precautionary measure The court held that the evidence had been tempered with and that a: cooking of Holsters causes them tc shrink, the judge could not take cog, nizance of their condition prior te the cooking.
 The case was dismissed and Fish erInan Zirn released.

HER BOW LEGS STRAICHTER
 NOW

Chicago: Dec. 24.-Legs should not be allowed to interfere with ones caf- reer, according to Miss Ruth Gordon actress. Bowlegs were the bane of Miss Gordon's existence, so she had 'em strengthened. She is in a hos pital today with both legs in plaster casts, not through accident, but be- cause she wanted them broken.
 Three years ago. Miss Gordon said, T was walking down an aisle in a Chicago department store and I saw pair of legs walking toward me that made me laugh because they were funny. Then I discovered that the legs were mine
 "I wan;ed to have something done right then, but I did not have time. Then I saw Marilyn Miliers legs in a show at Atlantic City and that decid- ed me. She's got the s,raightes, 1egs.''
 So for beautys sake, Miss Gordon had Chicago surgeon break both her legs. She will not be able to walk for at least three months, but she thinks it will be wor, h it.
 In private life, Miss Gordon is Mrs Gregory Kelly. She was the Baby Talk Lady, in Booth Tarkington's "Seventeen'' and recently starred ir "Clarence." Her husband is Greg ory Kelly, who was the boy in "Sev- enteen."

West Orange, N. J.. Dec. 24-Santa Claus made a preliminary visit here last evening. There was no batter of hoofs, no elfin bells; nor did the jolly old saint wear his white whiskers and fur boots, nor carry a pack. Never theless, he left peace and good will in four homes in the St. Cloud section of this communiey, which had not known peace since Recorder John B. Lander last week sentenced three boys 10, II and 12 years old, to fore go Christmas presents and Christmas festivities.
 The homes are those of the three boys and of Recorder Lander him. self. Things hadn't been just right in any of homes since sentence was passed on the cu1prits, and they had been getting worse steadily as Christ mas nearer. Every mail brought let ters to the recorders home protesting against the punishment meted out to the boys, especially that part Of 1t which excluded them from Christ mas.

REFUGEES MAY
 ENTER POLAND

Warsaw, Dec. 24.-The Polish gov ernment has notified the American Red Cross that it has granted per mission to 2,000 peasant refugees from the territory formerly occupied by General Wrangel, to enter Poland. The decision to give asylum to them was made in response to a telegra' from General Wrangel, who asked that they be admitted. They are mostly wives and children of Rus sian soldiers with Wrangels forces. and they are said to be in a critical state of want.
 Information received in Warsaw W indicates that the peasants in South Russia face a winter of starvat ion and the Polish auth critics expect to receive further appeals to admit many more thousands before the winter is far advanced. Large m grations of refugees from central Russia to the Black Sea coast are taking place and whole families have been found there from the old prov inces of Kostroma, Rjasan and Ka- luga.

So instead of thinking yourself a
