JUDGE WITHHOLDS
NELSON DECISION

After spending practically the entire
day taking testimony of witnesses In
the d ivorce suit of Albert and Nernie
Nelson of Brawley, Judge NJ. w. Conk-
ling withheld his decision, and took
the ease under advisement. Nelson
charged infidelity in his complaint, ana
requested the custody of the couple $
three minor children. Mrs. Nelson filed
a cross complaint naming the same
charge and also sought custody of the
children.
Mr. and Mrs. Nelson were married
over II years ago and apparently were
happily married until year ago. Mrs.
Nelson claimed she was virtually n
slave of Nelson 3 and that he did not
support her or the children. This her
husband denied and answered with
other charges against her.
Pending the final decision of the
court, the children were turned over to
Nelson who was orde1ed to pay nomi-
nal sum for the support of his wife.

many children-orphans- | can
stuff into 1t.
Il hope to build up an organization
In the National Santa Claus associa-
tion which will be joy not only to
the children but benefit also to poor
people everywhere"
For four years Elizabeth Phillips
continued her work. The Santa Claus
association grew with each succeed
ing year. 1t came to have many as
sistants with fleet of automobiles
and an army of givers in the cause of
Christmas giving. The movement
spread to other cities and thousands
came to know her name and love it.
But the results of her work, though
great In the estimation of others,
seemed small to her. And as the re
suits became greater and the work
Increased the goal seemed farther
away than ever to her. Her work
was halted by illness. and she was
forced to watch the Christmas Of 1909
draw nearer and nearer without being
able to keep on. Despair took hold
of her and she ended her life.
But the spirit of Christmas that
animated her did not die with her.
She had done her work too well.
From her inspiration, directly or in
directly, have sprung the Christmas
givings Of the Christmas clubs, Big
Brother and Good Fellow movements
and Needy Cases campaigns and the
Christmas activities of municipalities,
community centers, newspapers and
business concerns.
For example: A New York news
paper took up, three years after Eliz-
abeth Phillips death. the task of sup
plying the Christmas needs of "the
hundred neediest." The task, TOO
great for one individual, one organi
zation, was distributed among great
body of those best able to shoulder
It, just as Elizabeth Phillips aimed to
do, and as the givers Increased in
number so did the receivers multiply.
Organized as clearing house for
the benefit of all the many charitable
organizations, concentrated rs focal
point for the contributions of all the
many previously unorganized and
aimless givers, the "neediest" CAM
paign began Its career In 1912 with
the Christmas distribution of $4,000.
Each year it spread to greater
breadth.
For such was the success of this
movement that newspapers In other
cities took up the Idea. And such was
their success that still other organi-
cations copied the plan, others and
still others, first In one section. then
In another. all over the United States.
Philadelphia has similar movements,
SO has Pittsburgh. Chicago. st. Louis.
Denver, San Francisco.
The idea, just like the aim Of Eliza
beth Phillips, has been the means of
pointing out that such relief Is some
thing more than the giving of tinsel
top. is something that has deeper
significance than spasmodic giving,
useful as that sometimes may be. 1t
has been the instrument of bringing
whole-hearted generous help to fami-
lies In need and Of bringing at the
same time the satisfaction to n large
number of Christmas donors OF a
s,mple and direct method Of translat-
ing Christmas generosity into terms
of health, happiness, good cheer. the
essence of the Christmas spirit.
The modern Christmas spirit has
gone farther than nero giving at
Christmas time. 1t has undertaken

that this relief must not only be ade-

OF New York's lone hundred need

young mothers and children under the
care of the State Charities Aid asso-
citation. These eighteen were given

total of children saved from serious
and distressing situations reached the
number of 75. These additional chill
dren were helped from funds not des-
ignated for particular cases. In some
cases considerable portion has been
conserved for future use. Here, for
instance, Is sample report of the
association, which shows what Christ
mas giving can accomplish when done
in the right way:
"Raymond, of Case No. SO, the half
starved, half-naked baby rescued
from a desolate room. had desper-
ately hard fight for his life. The doc
tors at the hospital tried every sort
of food, but Raymond's was so serious
a case of malnutritlon that nothing
seemed to reach the tiny spark of VI
tality. Finally. as last resort, blood
TRANSMISSION was tried, and this had
the desired effect. Raymond reacted

able to leave the hospital for a free
convalescent home for babies in the
country. From there he recently
went to foster home of his own, an
unbelievably sturdy and vigorous
child, Amount received, $500; amount

n multitude of organizations all over
the country will gather from those
who have and distribute among those
who have not. There will be Christ
mas good cheer in homes where other
wise 1t would be lacking. Encourage
ment will be given many who had
we'll nigh lost hope. Lives valuable
to the state will be saved. And there
will be joy where there was sorrow.
The activities of these organiza-
t,ons of course vary widely. Some
give gifts, some give food, some give
clothing, some give money, some give
service. But their principle and pur-
nose and inspiration are the same {;
all are born of one idea and all aim
Mt the same goal. This goal Is to
make Christmas day everywhere the
day of 10Y 1t should be In Christian
nation celebrating the anniversary Of
the birth of Our Lord.
II Is no exaggeration to say that
much of this Christmas giving is the
result of Elizabeth Phillips inspira-
tIon eighteen years ago us she lay Ill
in her clearinghouse room. To this

no small part various movements all
over the United States that embrace
