Fixes Name of Capital.

In an executive order issued re.
Gently, President Harding direct.
ed that hereafter the official de-
signation of the capital will be
"the City of Washington" and
that these words shall be used in
every document executed requir.
ing any refe1ence to Washington.
Heretofore, proclamations and
other legal papers have referred
variously to the "District of Col.
umbia, "'the city Of Washington"
or simply washington" The
presidents recent Thanksgiving
proclamation was "done in the
capital of the United States" and
this peculiar phrase raised the
question as to what the official
term should be.

Observance of Christmas.

It is not known when Jesus
Christ was born. Though the
Christian era is dated from his
birth, chronologists insist upon
an earlier date. Some say about
4 B. c., others claim 6 B. G. 1t is
evident that he was not born at
Christmas time, as the flocks were
grazing and that doesn't happen
in the Holy Land in midwinter.
The actual date is believed to be
sometime in the spring. The date
was lost sight of out early Chris.
tians fixed upon winter as the
time to observe the anniversary.
1t used to be celebrated January
6, but when the new style calen.
dar was adopted it was changed
to December 25. That period
was already the main pagan festi.
val-the feast of winter solstice--
and it was natural to put the main
Christian festival at the same
time. Now the custom is too
firmly fixed to be changed. One
explanation of the SIX" in the alb.
breviation for Christmas is that
it is the symbol of the cross.
However, the cross of the cruel
fixion was a Latin cross, while an
SKI is in the form of st. Andrews
cross. Another explanation is
that the Greek letter "chi" which
resembles our TX" is the first let.
ter in the Greek word for Christ.

TRENTON. Dec. 1:-There will
be no move for the abolition of the
primary system of choosing candl-
dates. as now provided unde the
Geran election act, at the coming
session of the legislature. sc far as
the Republican party is concerned.
This was the information obtained
here today from former Governor
Edward c. Stokes. who Is the ke-
publican state chairman. At the
same time Assemblyman William A.
Moore, who is a member OF the u.
q. p, in a statement today reiterat-
ed his intention to work for n pas
sage of an C at the coming session
which will eliminate the primary
system. However, Mr.. Moore says
he does not favor going back to the
convention plan Of picking the party
candidates.
Both the state chairman and Mr..
Moore were asked for expressions OF
opinion on the situation. The former
said that he intends to call a meet
ing of the Republican county chair
men together with either the party
members of the senate or Assembly
committee on elections for the 1g22
legislature, or both, for the purpose
of discussing amendments TO n
present election laws which VIII
clarity a number of the details Oh
elections which are now at variance
and in conflict. Mr.. Stokes was en-
phatic in his declaration that there
would be no fundamental changes
advocated at this time. He said that
a number of municipal clerks ana
others who handle the election aw
machinery have found inconsisten-
cies which ought to be remedied. He
thinks the county chairmen can help
10 suggest the remedies. The state
chairman did not go into details on
these phases of the election law.
Discussing the Moore anti-primary
bill. the former governor made this
significant remark:
TT is entirely within the power OF
Individual member to introduce
a bill on this subject, but 1t will not

change of that kind ought to come
