will answer. This is not written II
spirit of self pride but in the
| spirit Of humility, feeling nv in.
debtedness to my country, an in.
! debtedness which thousands Of nv
I countrymcn felt who today sleer
beneath the soil where the poppies
I grow. The purpose with this writing
! IS to give the public :. reply to Anna
trays article in order to show that
/ her statements are incorrect. While
her ideas in the few individual cases
or people who there as everywhere
take their baths only once a wear
may he true in few instances, it is
quite erroneous and almost insinu-
ating 10 the Scandinavian pcOple TO
j make the claim that this is a pre-
vailine custom today.
Anna Gray, however, is not the
only one who has made misleading
and erroneous statements regard
jng Scandinavians. Not so very long
ago Elsie Robinson prominent
and quite distinguished writer in
the Chicago American made the un-
true statement that George Brand
cs IS Norwegian atheist or agnos-
tic. The matter of fact is that
George Brandcs is a Danish iourn-
nal,st, author and atheist and was
never Il Norwegian.
Such mistakes may be permitted
in the ideas and thoughts Of the in
dividuals but should be carefully
investigated when made public.
What is the truth about the Christ
mas festivity in the Scandinavian
countries? This: The Christmas
celebration is practically the same rs
here or any other civilized country
with the exception perhaps that Il
more solemn tranquility is manifest
ed owing to the peculiarly Of Gus
toms of the people. also perhaps on
account Of the thinly populated and
often isolated communities and the
prevailing religious characteristics.
Otherwise, should an American
chance upon a Christmas festivity
in the Scandinavian countries he
would find the same identical cele-
bration as he would find in Amer
lea.
Eskimos and bake houses are
found in Alaska. Greenland, the ex-
tremc northern Canada and Iceland,
but not in Norway and Sweden.
