 HOLIDAY TREE
 GREAT SUCCESS
Community Gathering at Tree on Triangle Place
 Is Well Attended

1 A crowd of perhaps 800 persons gathered at the Community Christ
 mas tree, in Triangle Place Sunday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock to listen
 to the choral singing by various church choirs and others who at- tended the rehearsal at the Pres byterian Church earlier in the af- | ternoon.
 The singing was under the direc- -ion of Elmer E. Reed, organ &C., compartment by Mrs. G. E. Krause. The choir was composed of children as well as adults and many of the spectators joined in the singing when invited by the director to do so. The songs were well known hymns, familiar to all. A popular fellow, dressed in a red suit trimmed with white fur and with large bag over his shoulder, made his appearance about the time the singing was over. It was none other than old Santa Claus him. self, who had come to Juneau to ascertain first hand how the chil- dren mad been behaving. He seemed to be in very much of a hurry but he found time to shake many little mittened hands and pinch a few red cheeks as he passed through the crowd.
 Have you been good boy, Pete?" Santa would ask. If the reply was in the affirmative he promised to call around on Christ mas Eve.
 The Community tree exercise s were pronounced decided success as it accomplished the purpose of bringing young and old together for seasonal cheer. The affair was sponsored by the Juneau Woman's Club.

CHURCH BLESSES HORSES, TRAINERS,
 AS SEASON OPENS

yINCENNES, France, Jan. 15.- Horse racing in France officially recognized and encouraged by the state has recently been given the blessing of the church.
 The sprinkling O. holy water upon 60 horses as they walked in single fine in front of the parish priest of Joinville, marked the opening of the winter trotting sea- son and proved that the turf is one of the few institutions upon which both state and church are in ac- cord here.
 The little church at Joinvillc, proved too small to accommodate the owners, trainers, jockeys, who had responded to the invitation of the priest "to begin the season by an appropriate church service" /" Bishop Felix Perie delivered the sermon and congratulated all the horsemen upon their efforts to im- prove the breed of thCroughbrsug in France. He cited Saint-Martin, a wonderful cavalier, the patron of all horsemen and quoted the oft expressed line about "the horse, the noblest conquest of man.

strange rhythm was the founda- tion of our modern music.
 "The popularity of jazz," ex. plains MT. Reisman, 'is due to it's physical reaction. The same beat that is stressed in what is known as legitimate music is subordi- mated in jazz. It is the after beat in jazz that is stressed. The result ant rhythm lifts the body, creat- ing that feeling of floating. My Blackbirds Are Bluebirds Now is a perfect example of this. It has the lit which has made jazz music so popular, and is a direct des- cendant of the earliest slaves.
 If jazz is not played with the after-beat stressed, it is not mod ern American music. Take the jazz accent out of dance music and you have only a marching rhythm that exhiiarating and lifting quality is gone."

BISHOP s LODGE, \. NJ, Feb.
8.-Developments in the Colorado
river conference. in assion here,
reached 4 point today where at one
time both California and Arizona
agreed that only through tri-
state compact, with Arizona, Cali
fornia and Nevada as principals,
could ownership to waters of the
lower basin states be determined.
This development came after both
Arizona and California had claimed
sole right to the special 100000
acre feet of water allowed the lower
basin states under the Colorado
river compact.

tage of Arizona" W. E. Mathews
o. California said, "to enter into .

way can she hope to make use of
any Of the 100000 acre feet.
In my Interpretation of the

could use all of this water long bel

If six state compact is agreed
upon we still contend that we have
the right to all the water from the
river we can use.
When the discussion of this point
had become rather heated, George
Malone of Nevada, interposed the
suggestion that it was the intent of
the drafters of the Swing-Johnson
bill that the three lower basin states
should be allowed to work out their
own problems in relation to the di-
vision of water.
Both California and Arizona then
agreed that it would be to the ad-
