YANKEES LIGHT
YULE Trees in
FOREIGN LANDS
Americans All Over Globe
Celebrate Christmas
Like Children.

BA United Press
NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-While
American children and their moth
ers and fathers await Christmas in
every city and town in the United
States today thousands of other
American families, in the leading
capitals and in isolated corners of
the world. are busily engaged in
bringing that same Christmas spirit
to their temporary homes abroad.
From London to Hongkong, from
Toxic to the isolated missionary
settlements Of the South Sea
Islands, Americans prepared for the
sort of Christmas celebrations they
knew in the United States as chill
dren.
Spreads to England
In many Of the leading capitals
of the world friends of the Amer
lean residents caught the Christmas
spirit and followed the lead of their
Yankee visitors in plans to make
merry.
London homes were the scenes of
the greatest Christmas preparations
III many years.
Interest in Christmas has in
creased year by year until reports
this year show that the English
children will pay more attention to
hanging up their stockings and
awaiting the arrival of Santa Claus
than ever before.
The British Royal family will OBJ
serve Christmas tomorrow at Sand
bingham Palace.
Geneva to Be Quiet
Christmas in Berlin always is
strictly a family affair and the
streets are deserted, beginning to-
night
Geneva, where the national feast
day, "EScalade," has just been con-
cluded, looks upon Christmas as an
anti-climax and the day promises
to be quietly celebrated there.
Paris, always more eager to cele-
brate the New Year season, will
pass quiet Christmas, although
the fact that the day comes on Sun
day this year, probably will cause
more people to take note of it.
Rome to See Manager
Toxic, planning for the big holi-
day season which begins with the
New Year, presents busy scene.
While American residents are in
many cases having Christmas par
ties, many of these foreign resi-
dents are entertaining the native
children.
The Chinese New Year season,
some weeks away, also outranks in
interest the Christmas spirit in that
country, although Americans in
every city and town are planning
the usual celebrations.
Tourists and residents of Rome
will view. in the basilica of Santa
Maria Maggiore Will is, according
to tradition, the original manger in
which the Christ Child was placed
at birth.

DRY Dry CHRISTMAS
. is PROMISE 0 F
RAIDERS Chief
al
Liquor Market Has Only
T Bad Drinks, Public Wary,
Claims WinkIer.

"This will be the dryest Christmas
{ Indianapolis has ever experienced"
You have heard this before-but
George L. Winkler, deputy dry adj
Administrator, says it's true this time.
Not that there is less liquor than
before, but because the public is
rapidly learning there is practically
no liquor fit to drink.
"Bootleggers are finding it hard
to make a living" Winkler said,
not because they can't get any
liquor to sell, but because they can't
ind enough customers.
Drinkers Become Wary
Exposure of counterfeit strip
stamp and whisky label conspiracies,
disillusioning their faith in so-called
0onded whisky, and perhaps their
own sad past experience, has taught
drinkers to beware.
"There is no dearth of liquor, such
as it is, but from the experience of
dry agents, there is practically no
liquor on the market fit to drink.
Usually there is whisky, most of
it bad, prepared for the Christmas
=. But because of the education of
the intelligent public, many boot
leggers will have large quantities
left over this year."
Price Shows Drop
Winkler said the public reaction
reflected itself in the price. Alcohol
and corn whisky are selling from 81
to So a pint, he said, While alleged
bonded whisky may be bought for as
low as 81 or S. pint.
BootleggerS are becoming holder
in their operations, abandoning for
mer caution, in order to make sales.
. This is reflected in the increasing
number of bootleggers arrested,
Winkler said.
Most of the liquor on the market
is sugar alcohol and reclaimed" in
dustrial alcohol, from which the
government poison has been par
TALLY removed, according to the
agent.
Bonded" whisky, Winkler said,
for the most part is merely corn"
or alcohol to which has been added
coloring and flavoring.
