POPE Is GIVEN
MANY PRESENTS
Jubilee Year Adds Flood
To Usual Number
Received

VATICAN CITY. Dec. 24-P-Al-
most every day is Christmas for Pope
Plus.
Probably no man In Christendom
receives so many presents the year
round as the Pontiff. Christmas time
brings a particularly heavy avalan-
che Of them. but Christmas IS but
n climax Of a series Of little Christ
masses.
This year. because Christmas falls
within his jubilee year and comes
only days after the golden ami
versary OF his first maSs-December
n, l879-the flood OF gifts has been
al the greater. It began with the
presentation Of a table service Of
500 pieces. the gift Of the German
Reich, sent by president Won Hind
enburg.
simultaneously, the Hungarian
government announced il would
present 1000 books. especially bound
and engraved with the Hungarian
and Papal coats Of arms, 70 the
Pope. And the Czechoslovakian gov
eminent announced presentation Of
a painting Of the Eucharistic con-
gress held IN Prague.
Gifts TO the Pope range from the
ridiculous to the priceless. They
come from individuals. cities or
states. A widow will send a relic.
a millionaire viii send a jewel. "A
government viii send almost any
thing. so long as It has great value
or will give the Pope buildings or
land. The Pope's Christmas stocking
must needs cover a wide acreage.

Having come to the conclusion that

that the Radio Corporation of America
would like to make an affiliation with

the Federal law prohibits.
Mr.. Young does not fear monopoly.
He believes, in fact, that it is neces-
sary, especially in the field of interna-
tional telegraph service, and from a
standpoint of national interest a mo-
nopoly, either regulated by the Govern
ment or owned by the Government, is a
necessity and necessity now"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Amer-
lea is to have new dirigible in
1881, the biggest in the world, and
the question Of what to call it al
ready is occupying a good many
minds.
1t may be year before it is
named, and the final decision will be
up to Navy Secretary Adams.
Citizens of Akron are flooding the
navy department, and congressman
with requests that the dirigible be
named after the city in which it is
being built.
OF course, this first of two navy
dirigibles. now under construction
at Akron, has it's own navy deSig-
nation-RS-4. But it will be given
name. just as the Los Angeles was.
Akron bonded itself for about
100000 to build large municipal
airport. The Goodyear-z Zeppelin
dock is on the south end of this
field. Akron has helped in every
way to put the Zeppelin building
project over.
The city is in reality the Fried
richshafen of America and it
seems only logical to Akronites that
the first big dirigible built there
should be called The Akron.

ceive these things, and we would
not be content merely with its
forms and expressions. Going to
church would mean for us what it
meant for this ancient psalmiSt. We
should go up to the House of God
with rejoicing and with great
sense of the glory and dignity of
worship, because we realized that
We we're simply part of vast COM
pany of those believing in the same
God and facing life with the same
prayerful aspiration. Going to
church may not in itself be the
highest and most important thing
in the world, but the man who has
never learned to go to church in
the spirit of the psalmist with his
prayer and quest in his heart has
missed something very real and very
noble in the experience of life.
This is a good lesson for the close
of the year, but it is an even bet
