ALICE IN TROUBLED LAND.

Miss Alice Robertson, congress
woman from Oklahoma, is learning
that the path of public service leads
to trouble. 1t has become apparent
to her that to win reelection next
year will be necessary to overcome
much opposition from members of
her own sex. AS she expresses it,
she is being hammered by women's
clubs because she will not champion
bills to permit women to retain their
maiden names after they are mar
Tied, and the like. She declined to
vote for the Sheppard Towner ma
ternity bill on the ground that it
would not help the mothers, while
making jobs for lot of other wom-
en- in Washington. And in addition
to all this, Miss Robertson was OPP
posed to woman suffrage. 1t is one
of the humors of politics that the
only woman now in congress was not
a member of the suffrage forces but,
on the other hand, was vigorous
and outspoken opponent of them.
The congreswoman is preparing
for the fray. She is already talking
back. When it is intimated that she
does INTO look upon the vote in the
hands of women as a guarantee
against turning the youth 70 the land
into cannon fodder, she retorts that
the hope of peace lies with the men
rather than with the women, and
maintains that even the twentieth
century mothers, descendants OF
primitive women, who used to make
bow strings of their lonk locks, look
upon their sons as warriors. Miss
Robertson sese the influence of her
edity when the mother hangs tin
swords and toy guns on the Christ
mas tree. 1t is no necessary te
agree with her to realize that wher
she takes the stump Oklahoma is tc
hear some plain talk. The congress
woman evidently intends to tell the
other women juss twhat she thinks
of them.
But all the troubles of the con
gresswoman is not caused by mem
bers of her own sex. When she rar
a lunch room in her home city she
had no difficulty keeping it stocked
viii pie, but getting pie from the
congressional lunch counter is an
clio. matter, and she admits tina
there are many hungry republican,
out in Oklahoma. She is eXperienc
ing trouble of the kind that has Ions
been the lot of congressman. 1t i
not new, as is her controversy witt
women who say that "she represent
female opinion of the early Genera
Grant period" And the men ma
save the day. She says her first cleo
ton was due to her support. Perhap
not the least interesting of the ques
tions that will be asked during tn
political campaigns year hence wi
be whether the men will again rail-
to the support of their congressman
an, even if tn eslices of pie have bee
meager in proportion and like angels
visits in number.

CUSTOMS AND THEIR ORIGINS
Numerous Yuletide Ideas Are Relies
Of Pagan Observance, Especially
Those OF Druidlsm.

~ ANY Christmas customs are
YTk relics of pagan Observances,
especially those Of Druidism,
the religious system of the ancient
Gauls and Britons. Groves Of oaks
were their chosen retreat, and today
the acorn is found as a Christmas
symbol on some Christmas greetings
although il is not used as much as
formerly.
Druidism considered mistletoe most
sacred, and when growing on an oak
tree. parasite as 1t is, il was cut with
a golden knife by priest clad in
white robe aud two white bulls were
sacrificed on the spot.
The YuIe log in England is a relic
Of Druidism. Its name Is considered
q corruption Of wheel log" a wheel
in Druidical symbolism typifylng the
march Of the sun. The lighting of
the Yule log harks back to the sacred
fires kindled by the Druids at mid
winter In the round towers which yet
remain IN many parts of Great Brit
ain, ireland, France and Spain. The
use Of the Christmas tree has descend
ed from the German Druids. The
dressing Of the tree with candles and
presents was a feature Of their mid
winter festival.
Ivy Is not used for Christmas dec
Orations, as II was once sacred to
Bacchus and constituted almost the
sole leafy adornment at the Roman
saturnalia. The early Christian clergy
