by their proud owners.
On Christmas eve many beautiful
trees were trimmed in anticipation
of the visit of the jolly old fellow

Riddles off to bed and even more
difficult to get them to remain quiet

Labor Methods Quickly
Scrapped by Conservatives

London, Dec. 9. "a. p. by AiaiD--
The change from Labor ideas to
those which characterize the Con-
servative party has been no less
speedily accomplished in the details
OF operation OF the governmental
departments than has been the
change in the attitude toward inter.
national and domestic problems.
One of the most noteworthy
changes Is the return of the ella :
borate departmental intercommuni-
cation system used by Marques
Curzon while he was chief at the
foreign Office and which the Labor
ties Immediately scrapped on assum-
ing office. The system reoairei
corps of clerks but was so operated
that each official in each department
and all the ministers knew at all
times everything that was going on
between Great Britain and other
countries. The Labor government
went back to the older system of
communicating by note from chiefs
to their assistants, but this too has
been strapped and the old employees
are back on the Job again carrying
out the Curzon methods.
Laxity in matters OF petty eti-
Quette such az smoking In COR
ridors and rooms of ministerial build
ings, allowing coats and hats to be
laid about offices, and use Of ele-
vators by employees. have been
hastily corrected by the new min
listers and the dignity Of the gov
eminent premises has been re-
established. In one respect the Con-
seryatives are showing Q new
ieniency In the matter Of appoint
ments. and where formerly II was
necessary TO make written applica.
ton. nowadays only a smart appear
ance Is needed to get into the
sanctum OF some civil empioye.
