WASHINGTON (P.-A direct de-
scendant of 'the first Christmas tree
is growing in the grounds of the Ma
tional Cathedral, on Mount Saint
Alban. 1t is a cutting from the Holy
Thorn of Glastonbury, the legendary
origin of which is one. of the cher
ished traditions in English h Chris
tianity.
The story is built around Joseph of
Arimathea, the erich man" who gave
up his garden sepulchre as place of
entombment for the Crucified Christ,
and his journey to Britain in the dawn
of the Christian centuries A black
letter copy of the Ecclesiastical An
nails by Cardinal Baronious, 18th CEN
tury author, in the library of congress,
fixes the date of his arrival in Britain
as A. d. Al. Tradition says that Joseph
and his IL companions were blown
across the sea from Gaul to Britain in
a boat without sails or oars"
After landing the party proceeded
inland to Weary-All-H Hill, near Glas-
tonbury, where the members rested.
There Joseph plunged his staff into
the ground and cit Immediately took
root and blossomed." This occurred on
Christmas day. Every year since then,
legend relates, the tree has blossomed
at Christmas time. 1t has become
known as the Holy Thorn of Glaston-
bury.
The tree on Mount s9salnT Alban grew
from a grating of the thorn which
the Bishop ,of Bath and Wells pre-
sented to the National Cathedral in
1902. It blossoms irregularly in the
spring, which is normal, and occa-
sionally at Christmas.
So closely associated with Christmas
is the parent tree that the leaves and
blossoms of it's scion at the cathedral
were used as models for carvings on
the reredos of the Bethlehem Chapel
of the edifice. This chapel, the first
portion of the great church structure
being erected by the Protestant Epis-
copal Foundation Of the District of
| Columbia, to be completed, is dedi-
Gated to the Christmas story. The
central panel of the reredos shows in
bas relief the scene in the manger.
| During the Christmas season the at
! tention of the national capital is called
to this chapel and its message by an
/ electrically Illuminated Star of Bethle-
! hem on the apse of the cathedral, di
rectIy above the chapel. Five feet
from point to point and SAT feet above
| the Potomac river the star is visible
from almost every section of the city.

every country under the sun.
Take it from the official all-Ameri-
can Santa Claus, w. o. Coleman, new
1y-elected president of the Toy Manu-
facturers of the United States of
America, the United States not only
has become a leading toy producer,
but is making better and longer last
ing toys and has invented and made
the machinery by which such toys are
manufactured.
Ford Production Methods
Furthermore, toyland has been put
on wheels. Wheel goods, such as
scooters, play cars, velocipedes and the
like, little used 20 years ago when the
United States was importing millions
of comparatively fragile toys, chiefly
from Germany, now constitute more
than a quarter of the total American
production of toys.
"In Europe methods of toy making
have changed but little in centuries, y
Mr.. Coleman explained to the Associ-
ated Press today. Much of the toy
production abroad is carried on in the
home, with all members of the family
gathered around the kitchen table to
aid. In the United States, however,
Ford methods have been applied to the
making of toys. New machines have
been created capable of turning out in
a day thousands of completed play
things.
Toy Business Develops
"Take the case OF dolls, for example
The modern unbreakable head was per-
fected in this country about 80 years
ago. Then gas-heated moulding ma
chinery was developed for shaping the
heads from the wood flour compost
ton, permitting a worker to turn out
thousands of doll heads in eight hours
Doll eyes are now made by automatic
machinery and are actually fixed in
the heads without the use OF glue
Doll voices are also made by machin-
cry, almost uncanny in operation. Two
girls on a machine can make 5000
mamma voices in a day"
Mr.. Coleman has more than busi-
ness interest in toys Toy making is
! something of q tradition in his family

ARIZONA SEEN
BY INDUSTRIAL
CONGRESS HEAD
A Review by Arizona Industrial
Congress

Every year is a year of progress
for Arizona. Each succeeding peri
cd sees new headway in the build
ing Of Greater Arizona" and in
many respects the progress made in
1927 has reached new heights, not
Withstanding the fact that the year
has had unfavorable as well as ia
orable influences.
Arizona is big state, and a state
of varied interests. Unless we get
far enough away from our own
circles to see the state as a whole
we often overlook the real develop
when we do look over Arizona as a
whole we see the following high spots
in 1925 record
Conditions in the agricultural in
dustry have improved materially over
last year, partly because of better
returns for cotton. partly because of
greater diversification of crops.
The livestock industry has "come
back" reaching the best condition
since the "boom" days, and giving
stockmen an opportunity to get a
fresh start after their long period
of liquidation and readjustment.
The mining industry has been
able to maintain operations despite
unsatisfactory market conditions, and
has continued much new development.
Building construction in larger
cities of the state has broken all
records.
Tourist travel has shown an in
crease over previous years, and has
been largely responsible for the
greatest hotel building program in the
states history.
One large new irrigation project
has been finished and several others
have been begun, assuring extensive
new land development.
A start has been made in the
through development of a number of
direction of organized colonization
agricultural tracts of various size in
such specialties as citrus, pecans,
figs, grapes, etc.
This record indicates real progress
for the year. 1t has been most pro-
nounced in agricultural and tourist
development, and it has been on a
thoroughly stable foundation, for
there has been no intimation of a
boom" Basically, Arizona in gem
eral is in a decidedly favorable pos
ition. with no signs of interruption
to the steady development that has
been it's history for the past several
years
Taking up individual producing in
dustries of the state, livestock per-
haps has shown the greatest pro-
gress in 1927. Range conditions have
been the best in a number Of years,
and as ranges have been under
stocked, rather than overstocked. they
have been much improved for the
future through natural re-seeding
I At the same time market conditions
have been favorable, with feeder
cattle prices this fall attaining the
highest levels since the war. With
stock fat and demand active, cattle
F. men have made good returns from
both spring and fall shipments,
which probably aggregated over 3O0,-
600 head. Similarly, sheepmen re-
ceived very good returns for their
heavy spring lamb movement received
fair to good returns for feeder lambs,
and fair returns for wool. Figures

AS CHICAGO COACH
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October 27.-The annual
rumor that A. A. Stage is getting
ready to quit as the University of
Chicago foot ball coach has been
spiked by the gray-haired mentor him
self.
There are several reasons why I
will not step down." said Stagg, who
now is in the midst of his thirty-siXth
gridiron campaign at the midway.
THE principal one is that l know of
no one better qualified to coach Uni
versity of Chicago teams"
Rumors of his retirement have been
current for a fortnight, presumably
getting their start after Fielding H.
Yost, another Big Ten coach who has
seen a quarter of a century's service,
announced his retirement from active
direction of Michigan's foot ball team.
Stagg expressed the opinion that
his system of coaching is now used.
in. one form or another, by virtually
every coach in the country. He made
clear. however, that he did not mean
the system was picked UP bodily, but
that many of his plays were the
basis Of others coaching systems.
Stagg even traced the Rockne sys-
tenn at Notre Dame back to his own.
at the same time explaining that
his own. Stagg pointed out that
Rockne learned the basis of his foot
bass from Jesse Harper, who in turn
was a Stagg pupil.

VIRGINIA REITERATES
NEUTRAL FIELD BAN

CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va, October
27.-University Of Virginia alumni
still face the prospect of seeing their
alma mater play foot bali only at
Charlottesville or on the campus Of
their rivals, following a reiteration by
the athletic council of its home-and-
home rule, prohibiting athletic con-
tests on neutral fields.
The council passed resolution
drawn by DR.. George Oscar Ferguson,
faculty member of the council, provid-
ing that: 1.-The University of Virginia
takes the position that college athletics
have no right to exist except as part
Of the educational process. This posi-
ton underlies all Of the athletic prac-
tees Of the university.
1.-THE university is proud to have
the people Of the State attend it's
games, as it is proud to have them
manifest their interest in any of its
other activities. But it is not a part
of the work of this university to pro-
vide athletic spectacles. 1t is unwill-
ing to use the games of it's students
in an attempt to advertise itself in
the various localities of the State.
intercollegiate athletics in America
are passing through a critical period.
1t is charged that they are over-em-
phasized and that they are CONNER
| cialized. and these charges are not
without foundation. The 'home-and-
| home rule is the step toward re-
storation of true sense of values.
That colleges recognize this Is evil
| denced by the fact that they are
| adopting the rule in constantly in
creasing numbers"
