Santa, Saint Nicholas

7P11 Hoover says there is no
VI Santa Claus is mistaken.
Santa Claus, like Christ,
once walked this earth.
He was a nan of great kindness
and generosity. with a deep love
for children.
Such was his hold on the hearts
of the people that after he died,
December 6, 1000 years ago, the
date was set aside as a feast and
gift day. in commemoratiOn of his
life.
His name was Nicholas. After
his death folks called him Saint
Nicholas.
AS the feast and gift-giving day
of st. Nicholas spread, the Dutch
took it up. The nearest they could
come to saying st. Nicholas was
Santa Claus.
AS time rolled on, December 6,
the feast day of Santa Claus, giver
of gifts, and December %. the feast
day of Christ, giver of life, be-
came confused in the minds of the
people, and eventually the two fes-
rivals we're combined.
Thus the idea became established
that on the eve of the birth Of the
Christ Child there comes out of the
frozen North, with sleigh and rein
deer, genial Santa Claus, with
gifts.
when persons tell children Santa
C1aus brought you this" they are
speaking the truth. For the spirit
of Santa Claus that still lives,

LEAGUE COUNCIL
SEEKS RETURN OF
SPAIN AND Brazil
Membership of Both Nations
Will Lapse in Coming
Summer on Notice

GENEVA, March 8 H9-The return
OF Spain and Brazil to active par
ticipation in the work of the league
OF nations will shortly be sought by
the league council
The council upon the initiative OF
francesca Jose Urrutia, of Columbia,
who presided at today's session, today
approved suggestion that a resolu-
tion and letter inviting these coun-
tries to stay their Withdrawals be
sent to them.
That Spain will respond favorably
to the appeal and. not insist upon
her resignation was the opinion gen
orally heard in Geneva tonight, but
no one would hazard guess as to
what answer Brazil wouiG maze.
Under the rules OF the league two
years notice of withdrawal must be
given. That OF Brazils expires in
June while Spain's expires in Septem-
Der.
In addition to fervent appeals by
the Latin American members OF the
league council in favor of asking
Spain and Brazil to return, Foreign
Minister Stresemann of Germany
said that it was with sincere salts
faction that he heard the suggestion
of Senor Urrutia.
The German representative said
that he had always felt it was a
particularly regretCaple coincidence
that at the time OF Gerlnany's entry
into the league two great nations had
withdrawn their collaboration in the
leagues work, thus creating con-
siderable gap.
Sir Austen Chamberlain, the Brit

welcomed most heartily the initiative
taken by Senior Urrutia, but added
that he would reserve further OBJ
servation until the text of the pro-
posed resolution and letter was pre-
sented to the council
Foreign Minister BRAND, in tEe

fully with the sentiment expressed
by the chairman.

More Teapot Dome
Bonds Identified By
Jam es "A. Patten

WASHINGTON March P9-Direct
evidence was received today by the sem
ate Teapot Dome committee that at
least some of the $260,OO0 in Contin-
entail Trading company liberty bonds
which Harry F. Sinclair turned over
to the republican national committee
in 1923 were parceled out to individ-
ualS for sale on the open market and
proceeds used to help eXtinguish the
n~rty deficit before the 1924 campaign.
James A. Patten, Chicago grain
commission merchant, who years ago
startled the world by obtaining near
corner on the wheat market, testified
that the late Fred w. Upham, trAaS-
urer of the republican committee at
that time, gave him $4,000 in liberty
bonds in December, 1923, and asked
him to make a contribution in an
equal sum to, the party to help wipe
cut a deficit which Upham then placed
between 100000 and 100000.
Patten said he sent the national
committee his check for this amount,
collected the bonds later and turned
them over to the Jefferson hospital in
Chicago, to which he had promised a
donation of $4,000. The one time
wheat king said he was mad and in
digI12nt" at the size of the deficit, but
saw the necessity of paying it off.
Il wondered why Upham gave me
the bonds instead of selling them i'll
the New York market where the best
price might be obtained" Patten said
adding that at the time. he had no
idea of the origin of the bonds. He
furnished the committee list of the
serial numbers and ia check of these
against those of the Continental bonds
by the secretary to Senator Walsh
committee prosecutor, showed that
$4,000 of the $500 Oonce had been ir
the possession of the Continental
Trading company.
Besides Patten, the committee eX-
amined five other witnesses, including
William " Hodges of Denver, now
treasurer of the republican national
treasurership in 1924 from Upham and
testified shat while his predecessor had
delivered to him some memoranda
concerning contributions between tn;
1920 and 1924 campaign, there was nc
record as to contributions i'll 1928, wheg7

CAPETOWN, Union of South
Africa, March s (P-The liability
of the British dominions in case
Great Britain is at war was dis
cussed by Premier J. B. M. Hert-
zOg in the house of assembly today.
Each state is master of its own
destiny" he declared, "and must
also be the sole Judge of the ex-
tent of its cooperation with the
associate states, whose independent
status can never be denied"
Thus the premier took issue with
the saying that 'when Great
Britain is at war every dominion
automatically is at war"
The imperial conference had
admitted the dOminions to free
independent status, he said, and
each dominion could decide for
itself on the extent of its cooper
alton with the empire. COnse-
quentIy, both by law and equity,
the right of dominion to neu-
