MISTLETOE WISDOM
By Violet Alleyn Storey,

And then he looked at her as

"What is that thing?" he said
She blushed and shook her learned
locks,
And turned her face aside.
"Oh, that is very interestingly
She rapidly replied,
"The druids used to hunt for it
To keep their souls from strife
And sometimes they would cut il
down
With silver bladed knife,
And one time Baldir Of the Morse,
Or legend tells as so,
Was shot with arrows Of it, SO

I'm not afraid Of this.

coll, head of Berlin's most exclusive
fashion house, refused to dun CHI
ents his firm has been compelled
to go into bankruptcy.
Won Drccoll designed gowns and
trousseaus for practically all the
German princesses, and when the
"empress" Hermine started for Hol-
land to join William ii in wedlock,
she stopped in Berlin long enough
to have her wedding gown and other
clothes made by the firm. r'
Germany's upper 400 were quite
as much charmed by the venerable
head of the firm as by the creations
of his staff for Baron Christof al
ways insisted upon personally wait
ing on all distinguished customers
and placing the finishing touches up
on their gowns.
During the initiation period much
comment was caused in society and
former court circles when it was re-
ported the British royal family was
placing orders with Won Drccoll, and
the London fashion shops started Il
big protest.
The Baron, who before the war
conducted shops also in New York,
Vienna, Paris, and London, insisted
that his clients of distinguished fam
lilies must not be dunncd. This grad
ually led to his liabilities exceeding
his assets, but it is expected the
firm will emerge safely from the
bankruptcy proceedings. as the cred
itors are showing a disposition to
make generous terms.

Why Capital Was
Named Bismarck

How times change may be in
dicated as much by styles in
names as by styles in wearing
apparel, Captain l. p. Baker, Bis
marck banker and veteran river
man, believes.
In the '70's when Bismarck was
named it was called after the
famous iron chancellor Of Ger
many because officials of the
Northern Pacific railroad, who
named it, wanted to make a good
impression on German capital
lists. Captain Baker said.
Germany had just emerged tri-
umphant from the war with
France which united the nation
under the Kaiser. The victori-
Gus Teutons were then begin
ming to collect the indemnity
they had exacted from France
and had considerable money to
invest. They looked to America
as a field in which to invest
their surplus and promoters here
strove to interest them in many
ventures.
1t was considered master
stroke, therefore, when the
Northern Pacific directors NAM
ed their station on the east bank
Of the Missouri river after the
German hero.
Forty years later, during the
stress of the world war an effort
was made to change the name to
SOmethinp with a less Tontnnic
flavor, but the movement failed.

Aircraft Probe
Gets Free Hand

Washington, Sept. 15.--P)-Presi-
dent Coolidge will give his aircraft
investigating board a free hand as
to the witnesses to be summoned and
the course of procedure to be fol-
lowed. Acceptances have not yet
been received from all the men
asked to serve. but the executive IS
confident that all of them will ac-
cept.
Mr.. Coolidge feels that the board
must decide for itself whether its
hearings are to be open to the pub
lie, but sees no argument against
open sessions unless perhaps at some
time in the investigation the board
should consider confidential plans
for the national defense.
The policy to be pursued in this
course, he thinks, can be best decid-
ed after the board has convened and
organized.

DepOrt los in Wholesale
Chinatown Raids

New York, Sept. l5.-P)-Despite
the signing of the peace pact by
leaders of the On Leong and Hip
Sing tongs to end the Chinese gun
and hatchet war which in recent
weeks has killed off dozen tong
men, federal agents and police early
today rounded up more than 500
Chinese suspected of violating the
exclusion act.
Rushed pell-mell to the federal
building for hearing 105 were or
dered deported; $50 we're released
and the remainder were held for
investigation. Twelve Chinese were
armed. United States District At
torney Buckner said the roundups
would continue until every Chinese
who has no bushes in this city or
country, is deported.
Symbolical of lasting peace, a
chicken was killed with hatchet in
Chinatown.

by national leaders of the tongs
meeting in the Offices Of Ling Ling

"Peace has been signed. All rela-
tions are friendly. Notify all MEM
bers. Letters of confirmation will
follow"
Mr.. Buckner revealed that leaders
Of both Tongs had offered to sign a
peace if he would stop the raids. He
said he spurncd the offer. The raids
continuing after announcement of
the armistice threw Chinese leaders
into panic.

Sophisticated leaders prey on their
alien countrymen and extort money
in return for protection" against

graft, officials believe, has been re-
sponsible, to some extent, for the
numerous murders, though tong
leaders are not always responsible.
