MISS HARPER TALKS ON
CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS
Demonstrates Many inexpensive
Ways of Fixing Up Home

A very useful and International
demonstration on Christmas decora-
ton was given Thursday afternoon in
the high school auditorium by Miss
Betty Harper. Miss Harper repre-
sents the Home Service Department
of the Monongahela West Penn Com
pany and is we'll known by the women
of this community for her interesting
work. ...... ..-..s4
/. The demonstration showed many, i'm
teresting as well as inexpensive ways
to decorate your home for Christmas.
The small pig-tail socket played an
important part in the demonstration.
It was used in the center of three po-
insettias which were placed in flower
crock. This lighted flower arrange
ment would look lovely at the side of
a Fireplace. Apig-tail socket was in
serted into an inflated balloon, three
of which were used in a cluster with
green paper holly leaves. This lighted
ornament would be very effective
hanging from an archway or center
light.
At the conclusion of the demonstra-
ton, Miss Harper showed the girls
a number of photographs taken in
homes which had been decorated &C.
cording to the suggestions given in
the lecture. Following this Miss Har-
per answered many questions asked
by the girls concerning the arrange
ment of certain decorations in which
they were especially interested.

LOCAL OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ACTIVE in CHARITY WORK
Approximately Fifty Families
Will Be Presented With Boxes
For Christmas Season
ROTARIANS GIVE TREAT

With all civic organizations CO.
operating with the public health
nurse during the Christmas season,
in fixing up boxes and baskets for
the needy, approximately fifty farni-
lies will be taken care of this year.
In addition to this many individuals
are sending out presents with best
wishes for the new year, and the Oak
land Rotary club gave a special treat
to all children Wednesday afternoon
beneath the Community Christmas
tree.
Cash donations received by Mrs.
Fahey, public health nurse, included
$25 from the Rotary club, So from Mr..
J. M. Jarboe, So from Mrs. Louis
Bush, and 81 from an unknown
source. "None of the money has
been used yet" Mrs. Fahey stated,
"as people have been donating so
many clothes, food, ETC., that it can
be put to better advantage little
later"
Organizations which have gathered
food, clothing and toys include the
Rotary club, the home rooms of Oak
land High school, the Oakland troop
of Boy Scouts, the American Red
Cross, the Legion Auxiliary, church
societies, fraternal bodies, the Sew
ing Circle for Gortner, and the Oak
land Civic club. individuals have al
so assisted in this collection and have
turned over the donations to Mrs.
Fahey. Packages were wrapped and
delivered on Tuesday and Wednesday.
"More interest is being taken this
year in assisting the less fortunate
than for some time past" Mrs. Fahey
stated. The reason for this has been
diagnosed by Bruce Barton, a famous
advertising authority. He states: "In
times of business. depression men and
women go back to their homes, back
to their church, Lack to their ideals.
The Christmas season will bring out
the finer qualities of human nature,
with a desire to do something gener-
GUS"
"This is evidently being the case in
Oakland because many people have
become actively engaged in distribut-
ing gifts and donating the necessities
of life," Mrs. Fahey said. "This spir-
it of giving will make for happier
Christmas"

CONTEST CLOSED

In Chicago, a butcher, held up by
bandits in times past, placed a revol-
yer in his cash register, one in his ice
chest, where he had been clicked up
before and placed police dogs in his
shot, the latter to be released by pull
ing a string. The bandits got the gun
out of the register and locked him in
the cooler. There was so much frost
on the weapon that it failed to fire,
and the two dogs, instead of grabbing
the bandits, being hungry, sank their
teeth in the beef.

LARGE TOBACCO SALES
TO CHINESE REPORTED

BY the Associated Press.
American tobacco producers are find
ing a lucrative market in the present
indI-tstous state Of Shanghai cigarette
facs5res.
Ne-~lv all were working full blast,
% ErEs1es a day, during late November,
tbs Commerce Department says, with
conditions for distribution showing
gradual improvement.
Large stocks of both American and
native leaf have arrived or are en- route,
going into consumption rapidly. Pur-
chases Of American leaf are sill confined
Z to the low grades, and owing to the
high cost of tobacco and wrapping ma
terial which has been brought about
I by the raw silver situation the tendency
continues toward a cheaper product.
The native leaf is blended with Amer
ican leaf for middle-priced goods. Eff
forts are being devoted toward lessen
ing importation of cigarettes to aug
ment local manufacture
There has been q. resumption of the
cigarette trade, which was virtually
stopped during recent months by a
deadlock between large distributors and
the local authorities in Shanghai over
SO per cent tax on imports. This
has now been settled with a return to
the 32i2 per cent basis.

NEW YORK, December 3.-Breaking
through the mixed tendencies at the

lower levels as trading slightly In
creased.
The leader of the power and light di-
visions, Electric Bond & Share, was off

gas shares eased, and miscellaneous in
dustrials recorded wide fluctuations on
small turnovers. In the forenoon ses-
sion, during which sales were 224,7Oo
shares, against 206,300 In the same
Tuesday period.
Food shares were highly erratic. Rath
Packing dropped about IS points. The
company, packer of pork and beef
products, recently declared it had not
been affected by the drought, but its
earnings, like many corporations, were
slightly lower. Swift & Co. was trifie
Mgher.
Horn & Hardart, operators OF auto
matte restaurants, rose 13s in response
to rumored improvement in earnings
Liberty Baking was down a point, while
United States Dairy A rose fractionally.

MARKET FACING TEST
AFTER RECENT ADVANCE

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 3.-A three
day rally had produced an average
advance of between and points in
the stock market and this technical
change was taken into consideration
when trading started today.
Some observers on the floor of the
Stock Exchange had said Tuesday
afternoon that conditions there resem-
bled those which preceded the recovery
on November IL. The short interest
was nervous. There were some indi-
cations of accumulation in the iron
and steel. copper and public utility
groups. The general comment, however,
in this mornings market letters was to
the effect that too much unfavorable
news in the way of corporation state
ments and lower dividends was to be
expected for the remainder of this
month to justify more than moderate
recovery from the present level. What
the market may do in January will de-
pend very much on whether it is able
this month to hold above the low point
Of the year established in November.
