song that could be recalled from
Sunday school days to sDtxien and
Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight"
The "sing" was success, but songs
were giving out and 1t was compara-
lively early in the evening.
Some one tell Christmas story I"
1t was the voice of little old woman
sitting near the writing desk who
brought the halt in festivities to re-
newed interest.
"All right" said the big lumberlnan,
who had tacitly accepted the role Of
master of ceremonies, "who win be
first7' There was good deal OF
kidding, but no one volunteered.
And who would have expected 1t to
be the big banker going to the coast
that would furnish storytelling host
unknown to all and thousands of miles
away at that? He arose and put
his hand inside his coat pocket end
brought forth newspaper and hand
ed it to the chairman.
MY friends" said he, Il wish to in
troduce to you a man who has been
telling me Christmas stories for yearA
His name matters not. He lives In
little town in eastern Pennsylvania,
where he publishes the little home
town paper that has been my pleasure,
considerable inspiration, and afforded
me good deal Of entertainment since
! was boy. 1t happened that had
a copy of his paper here In my pocket,
and l suggest that some Of the SPLEEN
did Christmas stories and poems It
contains be read by members Of our
company. I am sure all viii enjoy
them"
The bankers little speech was re-
warded by generous applause. The
reading began, first by one then an
other, and many silent tear was
loosed in memory Of other Christmas
parties, and not q little humor was
mixed In, too.
At midnight the little woman by the
writing desk arose and asked the big
lumberman to take up collection Of
nickel apiece from those gathered
In the parlor car. Chances Of wonder
were directed her way, but 1t was
thought just within Of little old lady
who was far from home in all but dis
trcssing circumstances. While the
collection was being taken, she turned
to the desk and began to write on
sheet of the elegant stationery of the
railroad. And this was what she
wrote:
"Snowbound in the Rocky Mountains,
Dec. "a.
"Unconsciously you have been the
host at Christmas storytelling party
in the snowdrifts of the Rocky noun
tains. The passengers Of the Conti-
mental Limited render gratitude to you
for pleasant evening afforded by the
Christmas stories in your paper We
wish you and yours merry Christ
mas. God bless you"
Just as she finished writing the big
lumberman dumped the coins collected
on the writing desk In front OF. her.
sKeep the money" she said, "and at
the first station send this telegram to
the newspaper man who has enter
tanned us so well this evening"
The car soon was in an uproar, and
the little old woman was embarrassed
by the attention shown her.
Then the big lumberman suggested
that the message should have sigma
ture. A number of proposals were
made, but the chairman turned to the
writer of the message and asked:
"What is your name? We will sign 1t
with that"
~Just sign 1t Grandma Howard
and he win know it might be any one
Of a million grandmas, and they're
pretty much alike-especially at
Christmas time away from home"

Nobody knows anything definite
about the origin of Christmas as a
festival time, who first celebrated it,
or when or how. Nobody knows II
December 25 is the right anniversary
Of Christ's birth.
Celebration of birthdays was con-
sidered heathenish by early Christians
and 1t was not until after 341 A. d.
that an investigation was made into
the date Of Christ's birth BY order OF
Pope julius This set the date at
December 25, although many sections
celebrated January 8, April 20, March
20 and May 20.
Pope Julius set the date as Deem
Der 25, and established the festival at
Rome on that date. This is the date
of the winter solstice, when winter be-
gins to decline toward spring. which
for centuries before Christ had been
celebrated by Druids and other pa
gans as the chief festival Of the year.
Mistletoe was an object of special
generation with the Druids, and was
gathered with great ceremony In De-
cember. 1t survived In Christmas OBJ
servance with the kissing, a relic Of
the Saturnalia of the ancients.
The Yule Log Of old England began
In the Druidic bonfires celebrating the
Yule festival.

The whole business irked her, but
somehow in spite Of herself she found
herself looking back to q Christmas In

too, was under the magic that was

the disillusion and regret that followed
so soon after that Christmas, and her

ForeSeeinS millions of listeners, the

tonal radio chamber of commerce is
developing plan to establish radio
extension courses in American col

England and Germany, it is said, are
planning to broadcast university extern

States have made beginning in this
direction, the announcement continued.
and their reports of the encouraging
success attending their efforts show us
that the possibilities of the new meth
cd are not underestimated
Sixty other educational institutions
are broadcasting educational and mus-

ing colleges and universities The
combined area nominaly covered by
these institutions has been estimated
to be seven or eight times the total
area of the United States.

account, land their temperance Gre

DATE HAS HIGH FOOD VALUE
Fruit Not Properly Appreciated, Ac-
cordlna to Experts Of the De-
partmenr Of hgricultura.

According to tie Atwater bulletin
on food composition issaed by Ii e
United States Department o- A sr:cUl-
ture, the dried Z: re is cufpos..l ay
follows: Carbohydrates zoe per cent;
protein, 10 per cent fat, 90 per cent
water, 1873 per cent; ash (mineral
salts) 1,2 per cent; refuse (fiber), 10
per cent.
The protein and fat content,
though small is in readily available
form, the protein as a builder and the
fat as a fuel" writes DIR. Charles L.
Bennett. "a man who includes two
pounds of dates as the bulk of a days
ration will not require much additional
protein In fact, pure date dietary
meets the requirements Of many Arabs
In everyday activities for long periods
ut time, without the addition OF
other foods"
THE value of the date as a food is
not half appreciated by the American
public" writes another authority, DR..
John Harvey Kellogg 1.-THE date not
only furnishes variety of sugar
which is readily asslmilated and which
Is much more wholesome than cane
sugar, but it also supplies a fine quail
lty of food iron, which Is entirely lack
ing in cane sugar An ounce of dates,
in fact, supplies one-third more food
iron than an ordinary beefsteak and
iron of much finer quality"
