Some authorities state that the
Christmas tree as we know it original
ed in Scandinavia. Others claim that
the Germans first made use of 1t. Ger
tain it is that we, in our own land, did
not have our brightly decorated trees
until after the German immigrant ar
rived.
Christmas carols are sung in many
lands; in England, in France where
they are called 'noels," in Wales, Ire
land and Italy and in many other
countries. In Italy, at the season of
Advent, the Calabrian shepherds troop
down from their hills and chant their
unusual mountain songs in the cities.
The word "carol' is derived from
"contare," meaning to sing and "rola,"
an interjection of joy; therefore. it is
not a musical form peculiarly belong
ing to Christmas, although 1t is usual
ly associated with this season. One Of
the most ancient, if not the very Oldest
carol of a religious nature is the ex-
uuisite, "While Shepherds Watched
Their Flocks by Night" 1t was writ
ten by Nahum Tate. England's poet
laureate in 1892.
Quaint old English carols that are
still sung are: "God Rest You, Merry
Gentlemen" "Good King Wencesles"
and "The Holly and Ivy" These were
sung by the waits who went from
house to house in the old days A
whole book could be made interesting
by recounting the customs of the an
cient carol singers of the different
lands.
In connection with the Christmas
candle which has been used as beau

those wandering, mysterious vaga-

fessed paganism, have legend about
burning candle that was set at GER
tain season to light the way of a
mother and child across the darkness
of desert land. This legend is to be

SO we know that the Christmas cele-
brations were not in the beginning of
religious significance. But with Chris
tianity's dawn the many old customs
that remained were given a religious
symbolism. There are a number of
our present-day customs that are pic
turesque and interesting because Of
their great antiquity.
When we tramp into the winter
woods and bring home loads Of scar
let-berried holly and mistletoe we are
merely following in the footsteps of
our pagan ancestors. When we
wreathe our doorsills and windows with
the beautiful, waxy white clusters Of
mistletoe, when we ornament the man
tie above the bright fire with it's dark
green clusters we are but unconscious
ly repeating the pagan custom Of old
when the Druids, the ancient priests,
performed their mystical rites upon
their forest affairs.
The cutting and burning of the Yule
log is, today, as important as feature
of the Christmas celebrations of the
manor homes of "Merrie England" as
1t was before the world knew the
meaning Of a true Christian observ-
ance of the season. The CHEEKY, heart
ening salutation Merry Christmas J"
originated in England. This greeting
has never been known to fail in bring
ing a smile to even the most wOe-be
gone countenance.
And an English Christmas is, indeed
wonderful thing to experience. Even
the very tales of the Englishmans
Yuletide make our hearts beat faster
and our imaginations run riot. The
time has not yet arrived when Dick

with their long rows of hanging geese

ENGLAND PREPARES
 FOR RAIL STRIKE
Comes On Eve Of Assumption
 Of Power By Labor Party

LONDON, Jan. 17.-England is hurriedly preparing to face a general railway strike which, it is announced, will be declared Sunday.
 The strike comes on the eve of as- sumption of power in Britain by a labor government.
 Arthur Henderson, labor leader, who has been trying to avert the strike, spent Thursday in conferences with both managers and union officials.
 'As the result of what nave been told in visits to both sides, see no prospect of avoiding the strike" he said late Thursday.
 A sidelight in the situation is the fact that racing authorities have com pleted arrangements to transport their horses to race tracks on motor trucks in the event the strike comes.
 Meanwhile, new labor troubles loomed Thursday as delegates repre- senting 625,000 coal miners voted to terminate the existing wage agree ment with the owners. The agreement will be terminated on April 17, it was announced.

REED MAY CAST
 HAT INTO RING
Must Expect Opposition Of
 Wilson And Perhaps / Tammany's

WASHINGTON, Jan. H.-7Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, is expected to become an active candidate for the democratic presidential nomination be- fore long. Reed has refused to say anything regarding his expected candi- dacy pending a formal announcement but his friends are confident declara- tion will be made shortly.
 The announcement of former Gov ernor Gardner of Missouri in favor of McAdoo will cause difficulty for Reed in his home state in the opinion of po- litical observers here. Reeds friends, however, are counting upon asking him to be the compromise candidate in event a deadlock ensues between Me Adoo and Underwood.
 However, former Justice Cohalan of Reeds campaign and Cohalan and Charlie Murphy of Tammany Hall are not on friendly political terms, so that Reed, will work under some difficulty. Besides, Tammany is expected to turn to Underwood after Al Smith is elimi- mated.
 Then, he will also have the opposi- tiOn of the Wilson faction of the party, who are opposed to him because of his opposition to the League of Nations. However, Reed has many clements of strength. He is a fierce campaigner, and there is no man on the Senate floor who is his master in repartee. Once he gets on the stump, he will make hard fight but whether he will be able to hammer his way into the convention and come through with a two-thirds vote is a question that can not be answered at this time.

tDESERTERS FROM
 MEXICO ARE HELD
Seek Release From Ship At New
 Orleans Through Writ

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 17.-On pe- tition of more than 90 members of the crew of the Mexican gunboat Bravo, Federal District Judge Rufus E. Eos ter late today issued writ of man. damus, directed atgArturo F. Lapham, commander Of the vessel, to show cause why. the petitioners should not be re- leased from the ship.
 Attorneys for the petitioners assert ed that most of the men were from Vera Cruz and wanted to go home and that if the writ was not issued quickly the vessel would depart beyond the Jurisdiction of the court. Nearly 75 members of the crew were arrested by the police several days ago and deliver ed to the vessel, where they claim they were being detained unlawfully.
 Judge Foster, upon petition of coun- sel for the sailors, signed a writ which requires Commander Lapham to ap- pear in court next Monday and show cause why the men should not be- re- leased.
 TAe court action follows two days after the police rounded up a large number of members of the crew who were classed as "deserters' by Arturo NJ. Elias, Mexican consul general here, in a letter to Police Superintendent Molony. Seventy-6ve were held over night in police station and taken to the gunboat Wednesday.
 The men charge that the sole claim for their detention is that they are "deserters," which they deny. They say the embarked as seamen on the gunboat to January, 1924, from Vera Cruz. the home port of the Bravo.
