THE First NoweII''
Many words contain complete stor-
les in themselves. NOVEL;" as an
English word tells of the Norman con-
quest of England eight hundred years
ago and the strong influence of the
French language which followed it. A
large part of our English speech
comes directly from the French. Some
times, as with this word, We change
the spelling when the original spell
ing would not, with US, suggest the
desired sound. The French NOEL,
which demands two syllables, might
with most English-speaking people be
pronounced as one syllable. To avoid
, this, a ''w' was inserted, and TO make
the second syllable look more Eng
, lish, an 81" was added Thus ''NoeP
became Novel" So we find in one
word traces of a language develop
ment which was spread over many
years, probably a century or two.
The French word Noel moreover
has another story to tell. 1t comes
from the Latin, "Natalis," meaning
birth. The old Latin sentence, "Hodie
Christus Natus Est means To-day
Christ Born Is" So Noel" was birth
day By frequent use it was made to
refer to the birthday of Jesus, and
then to a song which told about the
birthday of Jesus. Hence, Noel in
French means besides the birthday
of Jesus, both a Christmas carol and
Christmas greeting. Noel. Noel! .
is thus the French salutation, and
when coupled with "JoyeuX' to make
"Joyeux Noel' it means joyous or
merry Christmas
This particular Noel" or Christmas
song first appeared in print in 1888, but
it had been sung long before that. 1t
is one of the ancient medieval carols
and probably is about 400 years old.
The poetry is crude, merely peas
ants attempt to present the New Tes-
lament story in rhyme, thus making
it easy to remember, but thoroughly
sincere and devout. The music IS
/ likewise simple, being practically one
little strain sung three times, but it
+ is so vigorous, so joyous, so well
adapted to full-lunged, hearty singing

BANDITS GET $500

monies marking the induction into
office of the Rev. c. Rockford Stetson,
formerly of Washington, D. c., as rec

keys of the church and the nine
chapels of the parish on St. Thomas

PERU WILL PROPOSE
ARBITRATION over
PROVINCES, BELIEF
(By Associated Press)

SANTIAGO, Chile, Dec Il. - The
Chilean note forwarded 10 Lima Mon
day night is interpreted in diplomatic
and political quarters as virtually Ger.
tain to bring reply from Peru en-
bodying q more specific proposal for
arbitration of the dispute over the
provinces of Tacna and africa than
was contained in the Peruvian answer
TO Chile's first note.
This will pave the way to further
exchanges for settlement of the long
standing disagreement. The original
note from Chile, which started the
present diplomatic exchange, proposed
a plebiscite to determine the soveT-
eighty of the provinces.
Feature of Reply
They declared that before agreeing
to arbitration-which Chile has not
rejected-it would be convenient to
know exactly what is the difference
over the plebiscite formalities that
would oblige the two countries to re
sort to the Judgment of another ma
ton in order to arrive at a perfect IN
derstanding," is viewed as the feature
of the Chilean reply.
1t is recalled that during the years
of negotiations Chile has never before
gone quite so far as this reference to
discussion of possible arbitration. hav-
ing maintained policy of direct SET
tlement between the two countries,
while Peru held out for arbitration.

SAYS VOLCANO IS SAFE
AS LONG AS THE STEAM
CONTINUES To ESCAPE
(By Associated Press

REDDING, Cal, Dec 21-Eruptions
are not liable to occur at Lassen
Peak, the only active volcano in the
United States proper, as long as the
mountain continues to emit smoke and
steam, as it is now doing, according
to M. E. Dfttmar, geologist and auth
ority on conditions in the Lassen sec
tion here.
Dittmar, known as the father" of
Lassen National Park, which includes
the volcano and the country surround
ing it, recently returned from an ex-
tensive tour over the section.
The action of the volcano, the geol-
ogist declared, is similar to that of a
steam boiler. AS long as steam can
escape there is not any danger of an
explosion, but if the steam is confined
and cannot escape, the pressure grad
ually increases until finally the boiler
blows up, just as the top of the mount
ain blows off if the gas and steam
inside is confined.
Lots of Steam
There is a great deal of steam and
gas coming from the cracks in the
mountain, Dittmar reported Before
the big eruption OF 1915 there was
very little steam emitted.
Several geysers have made their
appearance since the eruption in what
IS known as the Devils Kitchen,
one of the noted spots in the park. In
the Devils Kitchen there are between
700 and 800 active hot springs. boiling
mud craters and geysers within an
area of % acres. Some of the geysers
force boiling water several feet into
the air and eject steam to a height OF
several hundred feet
Boiling waters from the Kitchen
flow into the icy cold waters of a near
by stream which has been named the
Rivulet Styx. A scenic highway is
proposed through the park, touching
the Devils Kitchen. the Rivulet Styy
and giving view of the mountain.
