WHEN HEARTS ARE TRUMPS
Tragedy II Child Should Have Christ
mas Come and 90 Without
an Ecstasy.

YOU have no child of
your own, you must borrow
Z" OF beg one for Christmas
~ eve; for 1t is the time when
the world lights It's happi-
ness with a child's Joy, writes DR..
James l. Vance, In the Illinois State
Journal.
Only q child may have the right of
way on Christmas eve. If you do not
stand In with the children, you must
stand aside.
II Is the hour when the world makes
a cradle its shrine; when not only
wise men from the East, but grown
ups from all points of the compass
slip down over the. hills of memory
toward %childhood's dawn, saying un-
der their breath: 1--WE have seen his
star In the East and are come to wor-
ship him."
What a wonderful thing is this
yearning Of the old world for the hap
ptness Of children that climaxes at
Christmas! The better side Of human
nature IN to the front. We throw
of our cynicism. Meanness is shamed
into generosity, and for a little while
on Christmas eve the tightwads of
earth have a look In on paradise.
Was there lever a sweeter eager
ness, a holier JOY, a more heavenly
anticipation, than that which all
through the house Is felt on Christ
mas eve? Every one is thinking of
making somebody happy. The de-
liciOus secretiveness of 1t intensiies
the thrill. Care is forgotten. Expec-
tatiOn is ringing the bells. Peace is
over all the world. And the helv IS
q child.
Thank God for childrenl "Of such
Is the kingdom of heaven" 1t is a
sin to disappOint a child. Then 1T
must please God when we make the
children happy.
II there Is no child In your home,
maybe there is one on your doorstep,
waiting for you to be It's saint OF
Christmas eve. There are certainly
some there In the street. They are
looking at the toys In the window
with wistful faces, and wondering
what the lover Of children will bring
them. 1t Is your time to play, and
hearts are trumps!
What a tragedy II a single child in
your town should have Christmas
come and 60 without an ecstasy!

Origin Of the Word YuIe.

Many explanations are given OF the
origin of the world Yule. One OF the
most probable Is that 1t Is derived
from the ancient Gothic word, giul or
HUI, the origin Of u word wheel.
The Yule festival Is said to have re-
ceived It's name from being the turn
ing-point Of the year-when the sun
apparently turns back from the south
and begins to set each evening farther
and farther to the north until In June
II goes down almost In the northwest.
In the old clog almanacs of the Mid
die Ages a wheel Is the device used
for marking Yule-tide or Christmas.

B0AR'S HEAD AT CHRISTMAS
Ancient Custom Which Is Now Be-
iIeved to BE Observed Only at
Oxford University.

N RINGING in the boar's head
81 at Yuletide Is not cele-
~ brated widely In Great
~ Britain today, and prob
ably the only place where
1t survives with something Of its old
time glory is Queens college, Oxford
university.
The custom Is believed to antedate
Christianity In fact, is said to have
come down to Englishmen from
the Drutds, the Detroit News recalls.
Freya, goddess Of peace and plenty,
was always represented as riding a
boar, and the Druid priests are be-
lieved to have made yearly sacrifices
Of boars to this divinity In order to
win her good will.
At Queens the procession of the
b0ar's head forms In the buttery. A
soloist, who usually is a former stu
dent Of the college, heads the line.
Behind him march two or three broad
shouldered youths who bear the boar's
head, mounted on a silver salver. In
the old days the head weighed as
muCn az eighty POUNDS.
Flags and pennants Of the college
hutter about the head, which is
crowned with gilded sprays of rose
mary, bay, laurel and other ever
greens. A. lemon or an orange, the
old Morse symbol Of plenty, Is placed
between the tuSks.
Behind the bearers Of the salver
march the supplied men and boys OF
the choir and the organist in a robe
of an Oxford doctor Of music.
On q dais at the end Of the dining
hall the provost and the principal
guests stand. The provost says grace
in Latin: the call to dinner Is sound
ed with trun1pets through the cloisters
and the procession starts through the
cloisters.

fte decorations consisted of lights,
nuts, balls, golden apples and animals.
These were to symbolic flashes Of
lightning, moon, stars and sun, while
the animals represented sacrifices.
Christmas was not among the early
festivals of the church. We find the
first evidence Of the feast from Egypt,
according to the historians Of the
church, and December % was not the
day on which it was universally cele-
brated. 1t was not until the Fourth

of the festival on this day spread to
the East. The Nativity was cele-

AS paganism began to be supplanted
by Christianity, many of the old cuS-
toms were taken and handed down
through the generations. In the Anglo
Saxon days Of King Alfred the holi-
day season began December Is and
closed January 6. When Puritanism
arose in England the fate Of Christ
mas was threatened for a time, and
even extended to this country, since
the Puritans brought along with them
to New England a feeling against the
celebration of Christmas.

Of Massachusetts In 1859 followed
England's example and Christmas was
put under a ban there. With the
restoration Of the English royalty the
restoration of Christmas was brought

Washington, Nov. 9-The placing of
a wreath on the tomb Of the unknown
soldie rat Arlington will be the first
official act of President Harding on

The ceremony at the tomb will be

ORGANIZATIONS SHOULD
WORK INDIVIDUALLY

Called by the directors of the Flor
ida Development Board and number
of prominent men of the state, meet
ing is being held in Orlando today to
decide whether Florida needs an ad-
vertising campaign on a statewide
scale, and if so, what kind of a cam
paign it should be, how it should be
financed and by whom it should be
handled The Marion County Cham
Der of Commerce will be represented
at the meeting by Secretary Louis 81.
Chazal, who viii not commit the
chamber to any policy or plan but will
secure all the information possible
with view to placing it before the
local organization for consideration.
At present the board of governors
of the Chamber of Commerce and the
secretary are inclined to the convic-
tion that most of the communities and
counties in Florida, having limited ad-
vertising funds and each with story
OF its own to tell, can obtain the best
results by conducting individual ad-
vertising campaigns.
Tomorrow meeting will be held in
Orlando for the purpose of organizing
a state organization of chambers of
commerce. Secretary Chazal viii not
remain for this meeting. 1t is not be-
lieved that another statewide organi-
zation is needed at this time for the
reason that the Florida Development
Board is a statewide body. The gov
ernors of the Chamber of Commerce
and the secretary believe that so far
as possible duplication of effort and
expenditures should be avoided and
organizations should not be multiplied
without a real need.

ILL FEELING BETWEEN
TURKS AND ENGLISH
Two British Soldiers Murdered In
Constantinople Last
Night

Paris, Nov. 9.-(By the Associated
Press).-The troubled state of affairs
in Constantinople may not be getting
any worse but it certainly seems there
is no improvement in good feeling be-
tween the Kemalists and the Allied
commissioners.
Two British soldiers were assassi-
mated last night according to the Con-
stantinople correspondent of the Petit
Parisien. The commander of the
French troops in the city told the cor
respondent he considered the situation
one of the gravest nature.
