Alien Property
to Be Returned

tro-Hungarian empire broke up after
the war has made possible a return
of large portion of the property
seized from Austrian and Hungarian
nationals who after the peace treaty
became citizens of the new repub-
lies that assumed friendly diplo-
matte relationship with the United
States. Mr.. Miller has been proceed
ing quietly with the unraveling OF
numerous claims until the old Aus
trian property is in such shape that
he can see daylight, and he antici-
pates little trouble from that soiaFce
between now and the time cougre.s
acts. Z
Congress will have TO pass on the
disposition of less than half the
| Austro- Hungarian holdings, or prop
erty valued at $1S,000,O00 out Of
total of s4O,OOO,0OO seized when war
was declared. When congress amend
ed the trading with the enemy act
II provided that the possessions OF
citizens of CzechOslovakia and PO-
land and subjects of the new Jugo-
Sfav nation and the section of old
Hungary added to Rumania might
be returned, and settlement of the
claims of these people is proceeding
rapidly. Mr. Miller announced that
possessions valued at more than
s9OOO,OOO already had been handed
back to the owners.
OF the remaining approximately
S3O,OOO,OOO Mr.. Miller estimated that
about $12,OOO,OOO subsequently will go
to nationals of the three new Euro

section of Rumania. This will Aasxia

RICH OIL MAN
IS SANTA CLAUS
To ENTIRE CITY
Poor Once, Millionaire Now,
He Devotes His Fortune to
Making Others Happy

SAND SPRINGS, Okla, Dec "a
The biggest-and the happiest--
family in the world is enjoying a
$4,000 Christmas here.
This family has 90 chidlren-little
mites to halfgrown youngsters. They
ell wrote to Santa and they'll all get
what they asked for.
They're adding to their Christmas
cheer by inviting 200 aunts and cous-
ms to share in the party. For what's
family Of Sc?
SO, will look on and show one kiddy
how to run the new electric railway
and then another to keep his hat
clear OF the chandelier.
Legally Adopts All
Page has legally adopted all of the
SO and has them housed in the Sand
Springs home, which he founded
iii enjoy Christmas more than
they" says Page. He is a multi.
millionaire oil man. But once he
was an orphan and felt the pinch of
poverty. That's why he's devoting
his fortune to lettering the plight of
other orphans.
He adopted two IL years ago. He
put them in tent on the outskirts of
Tulsa. His family grew. Now it's in
comfortable five-story building on
the old tent site.
Sand Springs has grown up around
that house. ---
Page keeps his children So long as
they want to stay with him. He edu-
Gates them in a private elementary
school AID sends them to public high
school. Then they can go to college
if they choose.
Widows Colony
Besides that, Page has established
widows colony. He has so needy
widows and their children in so neat
little cottages.
They'll be the aunts and cousins at
the Christmas feast. Besides, every
widow will have a big Christmas din
ner brought to her cottage.
The $4,000 spent in this Christmas
party represents one-tenth Of the
monthly salary of Pages employees,
who tithed themselves to provide the
fund.
Part Of 1t has been used for a COM
munity tree for all the people Of Sand
Springs, displayed in the public
square.

Any given day, say Christmas, is
first counted as that day just west of
the date line. An hour later, Christ
mas begins Is degrees west of that
line, two hours later it begins 30 de-
grees west of it, and so on round the
globe.
That Third Day!
The people just west of the date
line, who first hailed Christmas, have
enjoyed II hours of it when it begins
in England, Is hours of it when it be-
gins in central u. s., and "a hours of
it. or a whole day, when it begins in
western Alaska, just east of the date
line. Christmas, then, has existed "a
hours on the globe, but, having just
begun in western Alaska, it will tarry
"a hours longer among mankind, max
ing AZ hours that this day blesses the
earth.
But the date line is not quite
straight; it varies, Attu Island, for
instance, is included with Alaska Be-
cause of this, every day actually ex-
lists 40 hours and II minutes, before
it actually ceases to be on the earth.
But 40 hours runs into the third
day!

SANTA BRINGS
HAPPINESS To
LOCAL K|DD|ES
Miners and Legion Stage Big
Christmas Celebration For
Warren District Children

Santa Claus, the old boy himself,
last night gladdened the hearts OF
hundreds of Warren district Riddles.
Just as he had promised. Santa ar
rived at the miners'-veterans' big
Christmas tree in front of the Amer
lean Legion clubhouse promptly at
1880 and. with a smile and a CHEEKY
word, presented a big bag of apples,
oranges, candies and nuts to every
Riddle who marched by him.
Just how many children gathered
there to greet the grand old man who
comes to see them but once year
will probably never be known. One
bag apiece was the kiddies' allow
ance, but in spite of efforts to make
this allowance stand, some of the
youngsters, who felt Santa had slight
ed their appetites, felt compelled to
double back" or, as ex-service men
explained it, "came back for sec
onds."
Santa Enjoys Visit
But Santa didn't seem to be wor-
ried. In fact, the old poy seemed to
get big kick" out of the young
sters. There were times when the
juvenile mob threatened to grab HIM
and carry him off except for the
guard of miners and LegionnNres
that promised Santa Claus protection.
The mere fact that Santa Claus
looked something like jovial Tom
Hargis might have had something to
do with his being so tolerant with
the shouting. excited mass of young
Americans.
But don't think the youngsters and
Santa Claus were the only ones who
enjoyed the celebration. Many a
grown-up sighed and wished he or

Scientist and Author

If anyone were to tell you that
there could be two, and even three,
Christmas days going on at the same
time, on our earth, you would prob
ably ask them how they made their
home-brew. And yet it is a scientific
fact which may explain to the chill
dren how it is Santa Claus can cover
the whole world on Christmas.
AS the earth revolves on it's axis,
midnight and morning must constant
" change. A new day is always be-
ginning somewhere. But there must
be some official spot or line where
any given day begins on the earth.
Ply fortunate chance, this line can
be drawn precisely half way round
the globe from the Greenwich Meri-
Bisbee daily review. [volume] (Bisbee, Ariz.) 1901-1971, 1921-12-25

dian, and this line crosses no import
ant land area, being almost entirely
in the Pacific Ocean.
Where Day Begins
This line is known as the ''Interna-
tional Day Line" and here each day
officially begins. A glance at the
map will illustrate this.
On the right of this line it is, say,
Sunday, when it is Monday on the
left of the line. Monday begins at
midnight at this line, but Sunday is
still finishing on the rest of the earth,
1t takes Monday "a hours to encircle
the globe, and get back to this line,
so as to begin Tuesday. Meanwhile
Sunday is running out, as Monday
catches up with it, while encircling
the globe. Thus, there are always
two days going on at the same time,
on our earth!
Furthermore, while a day at any
particular place is "a hours long, each
day lasts on earth at least As hours.

Merry Christmas
By TOM SIMS

Dear Bill, the tie for you got
noisy. My family burned it,
And some friends have the gift OF
giving useless gifts.
But silk handkerchiefs are fine IL
you don't catch cold.
And net stockings can be hung for
lace curtains.
While the loud ties can furnish
dance music.
And Christmas cigars are excellent
for killing moths.
And ca nbe eaten II cooked like
fresh cabbage.
Tell Willie what's in sisters doll
before he looks.
Have you plenty of candy and the
doctors phone number handy
Then three cheers for Christmas,
Only 365 more days until Christ
