CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
BECOMES Evident
Business Rush Expected to Get
Under Way Today

1t did not require the calendar for
New Britain people TO realize today
that the holiday season is coming.
The spirit of Christmas was quite
distinctly in the air. at least In the
business section.
The snow furry. added the neees-
sary background for a yuletide pic
ture. Local stores have their shelves
and counters literally stocked with
toys, candies and more elaborate
gifts. Gifts shops and studios are
turning out new tangled ideas and
fancy articles by the minute. One To-
cal store has the whole front OF its
building festooned with holly, laurel
and electric lights. which burned
brightly all day long. sending red.
yellow and green CLEANS over the
heads of shoppers.
This afternoon was expected to
mark the official opening of the
Christmas rush, although the stores
will not start keeping open nights
until Wednesday, Dec. l9,Wednes-
day. Thursday. Friday and Saturday.
December 10 to % inclusive they
will remain open until Q o'clock.
and on Monday, December 20 they
will close at Z.

the fact that Young New Britain Ia
prepared to face this condition in
characteristic manner.
At the parcel post station on Court

up. A visit to that station early in
the morning makes one appreciate
Just little more the situation that
makes mailmen tired on Christmas.

ain will find their way to Washing.
ton, enriching the dead letter office
with Christmas and New Years
greetings.
Christmas trees have appeared.
They look Just as big and just as
green and just as promising to the
youngsters and just as expensive to
father as ever before. A West Main
street dealer, asked about trees said
they will sell as usual, anywhere
as they will bring. until everyone is
supplied, when the price will go
down so rapidly that on Christmas
they will be giving them away and
on December &c and thereafter they
will hire men to haul them away.
The average tree will run from SO
cents to S1.C5 he said. Trees are
scarcer this year and harder to get.
the dealer said, although there
seemed to be plenty In his yard.
The fact that hundreds OF trees
were left over last year unsold. is
expected to influence this years
market in two ways. There will not
be so many on the market and pur-
chasers will get more tree for their
money.
:, In toy stores and toy departments
of the larger stores a few new artt-
cles have made their appearance, al
though all the old time favorites are
still present. Without definite
check up 1t is safe to assume from
the quantity of toys on the market
that dolls for girls and mechanical
toys for boys still hold the lead, with
educational and constructive outfits
gaining in popularity every year.

KINGS CONDITION
SAID SATISFACTORY
Continued from First Pase.)

three weeks ago today when he took
cold while shooting wild fowl in
Norfolk.
It was said semi officially at
Buckingham Palace during the night
that the kings strength was being
we'll maintained. At the same time
1t was learned that his restless day.
noted in the evening bulletin, was
attributed to N-ray examinations
and needle explorations in the af-
fected lung which he had under
gone.
Hold Consultation
The DaSty Express said today It
understood that after the radio logi-
cal examination the physicians at
tending the king and II. Graham
Hodgson held a long consultation on
the question of performing az opera
ton in the sovereign.
The newspaper said it was feared
that the length OF the illness has SO
taxed the strength of the king that
II was doubtful whether he had suf-
ficent vitality to sustain the ordeal
of an operation.
The newspaper gave no indication
as to the character of the operation
discussed and the report that such
proceduNe had been considered did
not appear in any official or semi
official statement
The evening bulletin was signed
by Sir Stanley Hewett Lord Dawson
Of Penn and by DIR. Hodgson. 1t
said:
III Unchanged
The king has not had restful
day A radio logical examination
was carried out this afternoon.
Neither this nor the exploration by
needle previously carried out has
disclosed any appreciable amount OF
rleural effusion. The general condi-
ton remains unchanged"
Later it was announced se,ni-offi-
cialIy at the palace that the N-ray
photographs had been submitted to
other physicians during the evening
and that they regarded them as OF
a satisfactory nature. It was said
tho photographs showed very little
cffnsion. This, it was said meant
that ordinary treatment would be
continued instead of any active
treatment being possible as might
have been the case had more effu-
sion been found.
II seemed probable that the Daily
Express had given In more striking
form the information covered in the
evening bulletin and in tho late
semi official statement Since the
iatcr statement appeared to imply
that active treatment had been dis
cusscd

kings right lung. This was describ-
ed as being q hot-bed of disease
germs. any increased activity Of
which might cause the formation of
an abscess between tho two layers
of the pleura. The first stage of such
an abscess would mean the forma-
ton of a quantity of a fluid, al
though 1t did not necessarily follow
that the preliminary stage would
progress to the actual formation
an abscess. Yesterdays exploration
was intended to ascertain the extent
of possible effusion.
1t was believed that the kings
heart action was not, for the mo-
ment at least. giving any anxiety TO
his doctors.
There were several indications that
anxiety concerning the king was
diminishing. The private secretary
of the king In telesraphing from the
palace thanks for message of SYM
pathy concluding by saying his
majesty's symptoms are improving
and the situation Is less anxious.
Lord Lee Of Fareham In a public
speech said there now was every
prospect for the speedy recovery OF
the king. Lord Lawson found time
after leaving the palace to join his
wife at charity dinner and this was
taken as an indication that things
were going well at the palace.

Football Games On
 Week-End Schedule

Putnam High vs. Northbridge High at Northbridge, Saturday.
 Tine Bedding Blues are drawing a tough assignment Sunday afternoon in the heavy Fitton Athletic Club of Worcester, reported one of the best in the Bay State City. The fans will remember the first game played in Putnam against this team when ''Val' Phaneuf scored the only touchdown of the day after blocking a punt be- hind the visitors goal posts. Addi- tional consideration is in evidence at the announcement that the fast Red" Desautels, known because of his base. ball prowess at Holy Cross, will ap- pear in the Fitton backfeld.
 The Blues will line up with the popular Flash" Winslow back at his quarterback position. He has been used on the receiving end of passes this week and has shown to such ad- vantage that there is a possibility that he may be called upon to furnish the scoring punch via the air route this week. Another lineman appearing to advantaee in the hackfield is none other than the powerful 'Squint' Simmunzi, who because of his size and speed may be called back as a ball carrier. The game is scheduled to start sharp at 2:30 with Fisher i officiating.
