Christmas Day AS Celebrated
By Salvation Army In Ardmore

great work she and her assistants.
Cadets Lancaster and Kohler are do
ing in Ardmorc.
Merriment rcigned supreme at the
Salvation Army hall Christmas nigh
when the kiddies and tho grown-ups
gathered 10 enjoy the big Christmas
trea and the aftermath of the Christ
mas eve festivities OF the Army
Tree which Captain Nobbs financed
by the Elks. made possible AT the lat
ter's. club rooms, Friday afternoon,
the day before.
Two hundred little boys and girls
some brushed and combed, spcll
and span, otksrs ragged and dirty
saw the same Christmas tree. Many
little hearts we're thrilled as they
never will be again when they were
given by Old Santa. the monarch of
the Kingdom Of their Dream, the
pretty dolls and toys and many use
full presents prepared by Captain
Nobbs and Cadets Lancaster and
Kohler.
Promptly at o'clock the children
were all quoted and opening prayer
was led by Rev. Thomson. assistant
pastor of the Broadway Methodist
church, after which the cantata,
Holy Night, was given Miss Smith OF
the Carter Avenue Methodist church
taking the part of the angel and
Cadet Kohler that of Mary who sat
by the cradle; Frank Stark and
daughter Miss Thelma Stark, sang
the accompanying words Of the can
tata in most effective manner and
the occasion was one of happiness
and joy.
Five hundred sacks were packed
with candy, nuts and fruits and given
out. Toys and useful gifts were
plentiful and n doll was given
each little girl while the boys were
given trains. horns, games. engines
and numerous toys.
Perhaps the happiest of all those
made glad this Christmas time was
Captain Nobbs herself. who says that
the good people of Ardmore helped
greatly to make this Christmas time
one Of unalloyed pleasure Ia those
who come constantly under her care
and observation and who see very
/ little OF the bright side OF life.

ACCUSE Two BROTHERS
OF ALPINE MURDERS

GENEVA. Jan. 26.-Two brothers.
Vale and Marcello Amata, and their
uncle Joseph Bassin, residents of the
village of Gignod, near the st. Bernard
Hospice, have been arrested on the
charge of numbering three Italian AL
pinists last Friday morning. The
sound of shots was heard by the
monks at the hospice early on Friday.
and, guided by dogs. they began to
search the neighborhood later finding
the bodies of the murdered men. In
vestigation showed the bodies had
been robbed.
Italian police under whose jurisdio
ton the scene of the murder is located,
were convinced the guilty men were
inhabitants of Gignod. They learned
the slain men had exhibited consider
able money while passing through the
village. and found evidence to prove
the men under arrest were implicated
in the crime. Vale Amato had an ex-
cellent war record. He was captured
by the Austrians and placed in con-
centration camp at Manthausen, but
escaped after killing four Austrian
sentinelS.
