I also bear on the possibility of the
disuse of the natural tree.
The Yule log succumbed to the
greater attractiveness of the Christ
mas tree. And the Yule log had It's
predecessors in the various celebra-
tions that occurred at the close of the
old and the beginning of the new
year during the first centuries of the
Christian era.
The Christmas tree is believed to be
a German institution, but the Romans
celebrated the birth Of Christ about
the middle of the Fourth century by
the display of tree decorations, and in
some sections Of Europe the festival
was observed by the employment of
pyramids decorated with green twigs
and ornaments. Christmas trees should
not be cut except from dense growths
where thinning Of young trees can be
made with. benefit to the forest. The
New York State College Of Forestry
in the interest Of conservation Of the
forests urges the adoption of artificial
substitutes for trees in the observ-
ances of the Yule-tide festival.

g HE was neither young nor old. But
- life had been pretty rough with her,
taking many whom she so dearly loved,
leaving more and more gaps which
could not be filed.
Yet it was Christmas time and she
must think Of the Christmas presents
she should give and the Christmas let
tiers she must write. How could she
put cheer into her letters when she
did not feel it herself? Sternly she re-
proved herself for this. She must
feel Christmassy. She simply must.
So, quite by herself, she went to
big toy shop. There she mingled with
the crowds, heard the children's cries
and shrieks Of delight and surprise,
saw their eager excitement. Her chill
dren were grown up, they had gone
away, some would never come back.
But it all brought the wonderful Christ
mas memories back to her. She felt
again the glow and warmth of Christ
mas cheer. Tears came to her eyes,
but there was happiness in their hot
blur. 1t wasn't the same as ones own.
to go and see happiness as though it
were play, but Christmas happiness
was different. 1t touched those who
even stood on the outskirts. Yes, all
these many stranger chill
dren had given her the echo of their
laughter and of their delight, and it
was singing a little Christmas melody
In her heart!

UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE

University of Delaware basketball
candidates reported to Coach McAvOy
for the first practice of the season this
week. There are a large number of
candidates out for the team this year
especially some good prospects among
the freshmen. Coach McAvoy has
only about two weeks to get team in
shape for the opening game of the
season which will be with the Phila-
delphia Dental College at Newark.
One of the most likely looking can
didates to report to date is "Sook"
Jackson, of Dover, who promises to
develop into star collegiate player.
Cole of Dover, and Williams and Rob
inson of Newark, three Of the letter
men from last years team are also
out again for the team.
DR.. Walter Hullihen, president of
the University of Delaware, who was
operated on at Johns Hopkins Hospi-
tai, BALTIMORE, a month ago, was able
to leave the hospital last week. DR..
Hullihen went to Atlantic City to
spend some time to regain his
strength before resuming his duties
at the university, at Newark.
Two lectures and one musical Of
unusual interest to the students of the
University of Delaware, as well as
friends of the institution, are schedul-
ed for next week at Newark.
On the evening of December 18th,
George B. Hyson, who some years
ago was a professor of elocution at

in Wolf Hall before the students and
the general public. !
On Tuesday of next week Glenn |

The
Wishing Buttons
By CHRISTOPHER C. HAZARD

20, 1922, Western Newspaper Union.)
ITO US children there was a mystic
rious charm about old Mr.. Uplook.
He used to spend a good deal of his
time in the back part of his shop, turn
ing bits of mahogany into little boats
and telling us stories while he Clipped
and polished. He had a small person
In his throat whom he called Pedro,
and he would make him grunt out an
sWers to our questions in a wonderful
manner. His vest buttons were con-
nected with several insects, and when
we touched them there would come
out now bee, then a mosquito, and
once in a while a bug that would
snap off our noses. The buzzing of
the bee, the piping of the mosquito,
and the dangerous assault of the snap
bug gave us many thrill and him
much enjoyment.
One Christmas time, being rather
short Of rich relatives and very long
on hope, we conceived the idea of
drawing upon the fairy resources of
our good friend, by suggesting but
ton that would connect with the good
genius of the holidays and bless our
wishes. So we asked Mr.. Uplook if
he thought the first two buttons on his
coat could by any possibility have any
thing to do with the Christmas case.
He said that he would have to go into |
his back room and see about it first, |
but when he came out we knew by
his looks that it would be all right.
We wanted to press the buttons sew
eral times, but Mr.. UploOk thought
that once would be enough, and said
that in each case we might whisper
two desires, whispering loud enough
for him to hear, so that he might b.
sure we were getting the thing
straight. So we pressed and whis
pered in that perfect faith that Mr..
UplOOk always inspired in us.
We were not surprised on Christmas
morning when things happened just
as we had expected, and kind Mr. Up
look seemed just like a real Santa
Claus as he stood by the roadside
with his camera, taking a picture of
one boy with red-tOpped, copper-toed
boots, riding on a new sled; and of
another who was trying a pair of
shining skates on the wayside pond
and trying to keep a fur cap in its
place. And we boys were painting
upon our hearts a picture of this
good friend that has lasted until now.

THE INVISIBLE GIFT

THERE'S a gift on the Christ
- mas tree that we cannot see,
but we know it's there. There's
something that gives value to
all the rest and we feel it. With
the rich there are fifty gifts to
one baby; with the poor, fifty
babies to one gift; with both
there is this something that
makes an equal happiness, some
thing that gives riches nothing
over and poverty nothing lack
ing, something that gives light
without candles and warmth
without fire. The tree itself
springs from it, the Christmas
festival sings of it. We are all
excited by it and about it. It
fills the shops with beautiful
things, gathers crowds to buy
them, hangs garlands in the
windows, carols on the air. It
makes the church bells ring and.
kindles devOutest worship. 1t is
love that hangs upon the Christ
mas tree. Without the Cross the
Christmas tree had never been.

AIDES. One Of these influences is
the danger Of a cOnfagration in
the home where Christmas trees
are lighted with candles, although
this danger is being partially over
come by the use Of electricity for
Illuminating purposes. Another re-
strictive tendency is the cost of
Christmas trees and the growing diff
Guilty of obtaining them.
Moreover, a conviction is growing
in the public mind that it is poor

the tops of mature trees or take down
a tree that has been growing for 10
to 80 years for one days celebra-

Call Convention of World League Great i'm Every Way

form movement cvei carried through
so years OF activity so nearly the
uniform plan with which il begun, as
has the Anti Saloon League of Amer
lea. The plan contemplated that no
political party and no church denomi-
nation or any existing organization
was sufficient for the task OF solving
the liquor problem. The mobilization
OF all the public sentiment of all
political parties
we. therefore, appealed TO the
voters to be non-partisan enough TO
vote for temperance candidate on
the opposite ticket rather than liquor
candidate on their own ticket.
Finally, men became holder and
more Independent in their voting until
political parties of their own accord
and Tor their own preservation began
moving toward the Prohibition issue.
Filth, the League established
printing house. This Immediately
gave us anchorage and unifcation, 1t
likewise greatly expedited the distribu-
ton al literature. Here we assembled
our publications and by careful legal
supervision saved ourselves from
many dstracting and expensive law
suits. We have and can send ont
tons OF fighting, up-to-date literature
daily.
Sixth. in the carrier days OF our
League work when it was difficult to
gain the attention OF the public, we
had to use some drastic methods. For
example, we went into the stricken
and debauched districts OF some OF our
cities and took the picture of the
homes and families OF the drinking
class, of their furniture. OF their cloth
ing or lack OF it, OF barefooted children
playing in the snow, in one instance
of man dying of oeI1rium tremens
and OF the same man lying in his
cheap coffin and of the potters' field
in which they buried him. Over against
this, we secured the pictures OF the
brewers magnificent mansions on the
boulevards, and OF their lavish and
costly mausoleums III tne most beauti-
full spots in the cemeteries We had
those pictures made into sides and
with stereopticons threw them upon

For this winning characteristic, we
were roundly denounced by extreme
radicals who were our natural friends,
as compromisers and in league with
the liquor trafickers. We went
steadily forward doing the thing we
could and b;ding our time until we
could do the thing that ought to be
done. When we could not get
municipal local option, we took ward
or residential district option; when
we could not get county local option,
we accepted municipal local option
and where we could not get statewide
Prohibition, we accepted any form of
more local Prohibition that we could
secure. While moving toward
National Prohibition, we fought for
statewide Prohibition until SO states,
Individually, by legislative action or
by Constitutional amendment had
moved into the Prohibition column.
AS rapidly as we could secure the
right to vote in any political unit, we
begun the contest and kept it going
vigorously as often as the law would
permit; thus wearing down the opposi-
ton and preventing it from crossing
the boundaries of those political units
to help each other. We did not
simply work at the job, we worked to
finish the job. Our objective was not
the voting of a few towns, counties
and states dry; our objective was and
is the solution Of the liquor traffic
whether it takes ten years or ten
decades.
Third, we limited our activities in
candidates and policies only to issues
that had to do with the enactment
and enforcement of laws against the
liquor traffic. For this we were de-

Finally, while driving for Prohibi-
ton through the various political units
in the states, we were all the while

1--WE will say to the senders of
these sinister and false reports as TO

you should say to your publisher of
the same, they are liars. Prohibition
has demonstrated greater benefits to
all the people socially, morally COM
