the Associated Press by Walter
Wellman; author and journalist, in
hopes for world association led him

president never forSook his inten-

amendments We're necessary to effect
the transmutation.

adding:

REASON FOR CHRISTMAS

mas been maintained long enough to
create presumption In the belief that
It Is an original institution Of Christen-

Tor the observance Of that day as the
birthday Of Christ belongs to an epoch
separated by distance Of three CEN
turtles from the original event, and the
festival Itself was celebrated on De
cember 70 In the West before it was
assigned to that day in the East. It is
certain that In A. d. 336, December 25
was observed In Rome as the Festival
Of the Nativity of Christ. The au.

ONE JOB ONLY ON CHRISTMAS

ONE JOB ONLY ON CHRISTMAS
In Olden times, and indeed today In
many parts Of the Old Country, it was
and is considered unlucky to leave q
Job unfinished at Christmas. No mat
ter the kind Of work q heroic effort
was made to have 1t done before the
festivities commenced. No piece Of work
was begun near the end Of the year
that could not be finished In time. It
was tradition closely adhered to by
Scotch blacksmiths that none of their
craft would do a job on Christmas
day. To this rule there was one ex-
ception. II anything went wrong with
the meal-mill the apron was donned
and the defect attended to. The wei.
fare Of whole district might have de-
pended on this job being done In
time. In some districts, notably For
farshire, the servant was absolutely
free from his master during the whole,
Of Christmas day, and went about the
country visiting his friends and &C.

A crowded house greeted the Rev

Appearing on the stage with the
speaker were eight local kIansmen

speakers right on the stage was the
American flag and at his left a
flaming cross, the insignia of the
order.
The meeting was opened with the
singing of America" followed by a
prayer. by Rev. Curtis, who prefaced
his prayer by saying "the God of our
Lord Jesus Christ is the God of the
klansman.'
Rev. Curtis introduced himself by
telling who he was and why he was
here. He was known personally to
quite a few of his audience, having
been reared at Co1fax. He spoke for
two hours, holding the attention of
his audience throughout, while he
outlined the work and purposes of
the organization which he represent

organization at that time, Old Glory
would not now be floating as she is

hat all reform movements in all his

defenders of womanhood and the
protectors of childhood. The Jews
