IRISH ClTYS LONG HISTORY
Limerick Has for Many Centuries Been
Place of High Importance
and Interest.

Limerick, Ireland, which occupies
both sides of the river as well as
Kings island, is about 100 miles from
Dublin. Its bacon-curing industry, Its
creameries, its condensed milk facto-
ries, and its salmon fisheries keep busy
its Rory O'Mores and its pretty little
Irish colleens, the glances Of whose
beautiful eyes are like to prove as IA
tai as those of Kate Kearney. Lin
erick fish hooks are celebrated, and
though the Limerick lace worked up
on a fine quality of net derived its
name from the city, 1t Is mostly made
in other portions Of the island at the
present time.
Limerick has HAD d past, says
bulletin of the National Geographic
society. 1t was the ancient Regia of
Ptolemy; the Danes desired 1t for
long while before they finally occu-
pied it In the Ninth century; and In
1910 King John visited 1t and built
forts upon its coveted soil. The de-
throned James II Of England made it
his last stronghold. On the island in
the river the ancient Limerick had its
beginnings, and today its maze of
crooked streets, and its old cathedral,
dating from ITO, are important points
Of interest

ON EQUALITY WITH HUSBANDS

Things are made easy in many
ways for Filipino women. she asserted,
writes Louise Cattoi in the Milwau-

tiles are as good for them as for men.
Women are already members of the
Philippine Bar association, a privilege
not open to British women.
Married women in the Philippines
hold their property in severalty, and
are guardians Of their own children.
Of the property which accrues to a
married couple, the wife is half ad-
ministratrix and there are vested
rights which cannot be taken away.

family to have not only household
leadership, but economic control"

CHRISTMAS TREES WILL LAST
Little Danger That in Years to Come
the Children Will Be De-
prived Of joy.

Don't join any gloom group that may
be trying to form society for the pre-
vention Of cruelty to Christmas trees,
advises writer in the Kansas City
Star
The forests are there to be used, and
II. as we utilize the trees, we make it
possible by replanting for our children
and our childrens children to have
trees, there is no reason Yor not having
Christmas trees as we'll as all the lum-
Der we need.
That is the way the scientific for
ester, the man who grows trees like
the farmer grows wheat, looks at this
matter of Christmas trees.
While there is still some regrettable
ruthless cutting Of spruce and fir for
the Christmas tree market in northern
states, many Christmas trees are now a
by-product Of the forests. There are
small trees in every properly managed
woodlot that must be sacrificed so
that the others may have room to
grow. These make fine Christmas
trees.
Christmas trees are also being
raised in nurseries. Baby spruce and
fir trees are planted by man so that
the babies and children of man can
have Christmas trees in their nurs-
cries. And a Christmas tree Is
usually between the ages Of five and
ten years, just about the age Of the
Child who enjoys Christmas most In
the future years. 1t is expected that
nearly all of our Christmas trees will
be raised by nurserymen from the
forests.

many miles to the eastward of China
which he named Fusang. They sailed

From Alaska, which they called

Popular Idea Concerning Snakes Is Not
Borne Out by the Observations
of Scientists.

Snakes don't swallow their young.
The ventral scales on a female snake
are controlled by muscle just behind
the head. Ordinarily they are hori-
Eontal, but when the mother snake
scents danger she contracts the muscle
on the back of her neck, which i'm
mediately brings the scales to YER
teal position. This opens slit
under the bottom jaw, and at the same
time loosens the abdominal skin, thus
forming a pouch. The younger ones
dart through the slit and into the
pouch. and this Is what has led peo-
pie to think they take refuge in the
mother snakes stomach.
It requires careful and skilled dis
section to detect the pouch, oecause
the skin shrinks wien snake is
killed. When the poison gland is re-
moved 1t tightens lie skin under the
neck, and the youngsters can't get
into the pouch. In the female snake,
between the pharynx and the gullet,
there is a peculiar, lid-like valve,
and anything passing this valve can't
possibly return

NEEDS OF "YQUNG AMERICA AMERICA
Of Great Republic Suffers From
Too Much Freedom,

George Santayana, famous philoso-
pher and writer, in an article written
especially In the Forum on Americas
Young Radicals" says:
II have made severe effort to dis
cover as well as may from a dis
lance what these rebels want. 1 see

Outstanding or to their incapacity to
express themselves clearly, for their
style is something appalling. But per-
haps this scandalous failure in express
sion, when expression Is what they
yearn for and demand at all costs
may be symptom Of something deep
er; Of a radical mistake they have
made in the direction Of their efforts
and aspirations. They think they need
more freedom, more room, chance to
be more spontaneous. I suspect that
they have had too much freedom, too
much empty space, too much practice
in being spontaneous when there was
nothing in them to bubble out. Their
style Is sign Of this; it is not merely
that they have no mastery Of the Eng
lish language as hitherto spoken, no
clear sense Of the value of words, and
no simplicity; that they are without
the vocabulary or the idiom Of cult
waited people. No, it Is not
more freedom that young America
needs in order to be happy; It needs
more discipline"

COMMUNITY TREE
Public Celebration Is Gaining in
Small Cities and Towns.
Plan Affords More General Enjoyment
and Observance of the Yule-
tide Season.

THE Christmas tree has long been
L. regarded the symbol of Christ
mas. Many families, especially where
there are children, would feel that
Christmas was incomplete without d
tree decorated with tinsel and candles.
However, writes A. 81. Pulver in the
American Agriculturist, new idea
in regard to such trees seems to be
creeping in, and that is the conmu-
nifty Christmas tree, which is set up
outdoors or in a public building where
all people, both rich and poor can ad
mire and enjoy it, and it seems that
this tree more truly reflects the I'M
selfish spirit Of Christmas.
The movement had its beginning in
New York city, but regardless of its
origin it is spreading rapidly, espe
cially to the small cities and towns,
where it serves to bring all people
together and to develop a community
spirit. In one city the tree has
become a fixed annual event, and each
year large Norway spruce sometimes
30 feet high is brought to the public
square where it is set up and dec
grated with colored electric bulbs.
flags and other ornaments. For few
days preceding Christmas the bulbs
are lighted, causing light to shine from
hundred or more places and on the
with pack of toys and candy, drives
from home TO home distributing Joy
to the children. On Christmas eve
the children and parents gather
around the tree and sing Christmas
carols, winding up with our national
anthem. Other towns vary the pro
gram somewhat, some of them having
the tree in a public building where a
Christmas party is held and Santa
Claus gives out toys and candy to
the children.
It is possible for those who own
woodlands or have woodlots contain
ing the right variety of trees to in
crease their income by thinning OUT a
number of trees each year for the
Christmas market. The removal of
such trees is generally beneficial to
the wOodlot, as it allows those trees
remaining a better chance for develop
ment. In replanting forests this fact
might be kept in mind and young
trees thinned out as they grow up.
1t is customary to plant about 1900
trees per acre. but when they mature
there is only room for about 200 or
800, which means that nearly two
thirds will be removed.

Huaqinq Bargains for Protection

The other morning when a heavy
shower came up there was rather an
amazing sight downtown. About ey-
cry other one was bearing a hat bag
and she carried 1t in front of her
across her bosom, In sort of chest pro.
tector fashion. What does all that
mean?" asked a Mere Man. as he
stood waiting for q car.
Its a millinery SALE" replied a
woman near him. II mean, there Is a
big millinery sale downtown today.
and about every other woman who
came shopping bought bargain hat.
Now they are afraid they'll get their
bargains wet. and holding them up to
their chests like that is the only way
they are sure of keeping them directly

COOKIE ST. N|CKS
Dainties for the KidGes of the
Netherlands.
little Shoes Are Set Outside of
Each Door to Hold the Goodies
and the Gifts.

IN SETTLEMENTS where the holi-
days re affected by the customs of
the Netherlands it is not at Christmas
time, but on Saint Nicholas Day
Dec. Chat the children have their
Jolliest holiday. No stockings are
hung, but little shoes are set outside
each door for goodies and for gifts.
The most important gift is the image
of the good Saint Nick himself. 1t is
generally hung to the door knob.
1t is no plaster model or stuffed
doll affair-this Saint Nicholas-but
a very large cookie dough representa-
ton, sweet brown molasses mixture.
Wooden moulds used to stamp out
these special and glorified ginger
bread men are used but once a year,
and the bakers take great pride in
making them as elaborate and real
istic as possible. Rows of hazel nuts
often button up the great coat. and
sometimes a border of trimming is
set round the coat with raisins.
The Saint Nicks are eaten, but gen
orally not until the very last. There
are other Holland cookies quite as
necessary for the gift shoe of a we'll
treated baby. Letters and lace cook
les are the most important. Letters
might be described as a sort of rich
pastry tubing filled with, the richest
possible fruit and nut mixture, which
nearly always, In the good old days,
was favored with a generous dash of
brandy. This tubing Is shaped into
the form of capital letters, and every
child expects to find at least the ini-
tial Of his given name In the shoe.
More fortunate children get their en-
tire set of initials, and pampered dar-
lings get their whole names.
The lace cookies seem to serve as
substitute for candy in the regular
and standard Dutch baby's Saint
Nicholas shoe. They are really not
cookies at all, but rather nut but
terscotch pattie made very thin and
transparent. This transparency IS
the thing that gives them their name
lace cookie.
