CHRISTMAS MENUS
 IN MANY LANDS
Girl Scouts Tell of Cus- toms All Over World
 Through Post Box
UNIVERSAL GOOD CHEER

Holly and ivy on windows and ]. walls and mistletoe over the door waysi Few, hanging them as sChristmas decorations, remember
 what they meant for old-time Christians and pagans. Prickly , holly with it's crimson berries to
 symbolize a ood-stained crown of thorns, ivy to make a coronal I for the brow of Bacchus, mistletoe so sacred that enemies passing E sbeneath it had to make peace.
 They hung 1t high in the old days, So that nothing would disturb the 1. merriment that found It's climax in sthe Christmas feast. Peace on searth and good will to men is still gthe motto of the day, and still its activities revolve round the dinner
 table.
 Under what does the Christmas ! table groan?
 K In America under turkey and Trimmings, but they are not so pop
 ular elsewhere, 1t is revealed by , the Girl Scouts who now have sis ders in twenty eight different lands.
 The Girl Scouts, through the me-
 dium of their international post sbox" and international gatherings have become authorities on the Christmas menus of many coun- tries. Turkeys, they say, is asso-
 ciated with Christmas only in Eng
 land and the U. $. A., and even in the former the board is the. more
 historic dish. Denmark, Roumania, and Serbia also prefer the pig, < whose head used to be carried in state into the great dining halls

 Mince pie is English, too, but the modern variety is only a polite, aenemic equivalent of it's ancestors. That included ducks and geese and turkeys and meats tongues and twenty pounds of butter and two bushels of flour as well as other ingredients, such as eggs, pickled mushrooms and spices. They ate heartily in those days and drank deep. But in other countries the menus seem lighter. Germany at Christmas must have pfefferkucken and such sweetmeats as marzipan. Syrians eat sweetmeats, made of nuts, sugar, honey and wheat. The Tyrolese have sweets and nuts and

so have the Spaniards. The French do their feasting preferably on New Years day, and the Porto Ricans have a menu of their own. While they include the pig so popular in many European countries, they add hot green banana pie, rice frit- ters, papaw syrup and candies. Their festivities last three days. The Porto Ricans are one of the latest additions to the Girl Scout international family which in 1892 hopes to add two more members whose manners and customs will then become part of the Girl Scout lore.
 So far they have found no coun- try which does not associate the festival with good cheer, with tables grooming under roaster

BLAMES LUCAS | FOR FIGHT ON
 NEBRASKA SEN.
Treasurer Mutt Says Politi- cally Action Wrong,
 But Good Business

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. B. Joseph Mutt, Treasurer of the Re- publican National Committee, said he believed Robert M. Lucas, Ex- ecutive Director of the Committed made a mistake" in circulating campaign literature against Sena- tor Norris in the Nebraska cam paign.
 Mutt testified before the Senate Campaign Fund Committee and said that he was not consulted and added he felt that the $4,000 note executed by Lucas should never have been made and the special account should not have been used as security
 q do not think the security amounted to anything" testified Mutt. No one has a right to pledge an account for any purpose"
 Mutt said he had no previous knowledge of the loan or literature against Senator Norris and said he thought Lucas made mistake in judgment but did not blame him for fighting Norris. It might not be good politics but the way 1t looked it was a good business proposition said Mutt.

Pilot Dodson, ofKetchikan,
 Makes Discovery, Annette Island
MORE SPECULATION AS TO FATE OF } AIRMEN
Wheels Might Have Been Used as Life Belts If
 Plane Crashed

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Jan. J.-A plane piloted by Jim DcdsOn, sent out by the Ret. ,hikan Daily Chronicle, yes- terday found the secOn d wheel belonging to the Rena. han plane.
 The wheel was found on the short west of Point Da. vids0n, Annette Island, two miles from where the first wheel was found by the Rev Mardsen a week ago. The first wheel was found on the beach and sent to Seattle for Identification by the officials of the A a S k a. Washington Airways.
 Pilot Renahan and his two com panions, Sam Clerk and Frank Hatcher, were bound north on a search for the Burke plane, re- gently found in the Liard district The Renahan party was last seen October 28 flying north.
 The officials of the airways com pany in Seattle are positive the wheels belong to Renahan's plane but doubted that he discarded them to tighten his plane, in order to make flight inland, which expression was given yesterday.
 Pilot Dodson is inclined to be- lieve the wheels, with the inflated tires, might have been used as life belts until the men on them became exhausted.
 Pilot Renahan was flying a plane with pontoons and the wheels were taken along as special equipment to provide for landin.,. and taking off in the interior of Alaska or Northern Bi itish Columbia during the Burke search.

Ceremonies Deferred to February IA, Chamber
 Is Informed Today

Postponement of the capital building dedication ceremonies from January 31 to February l3 was an- nounced today at the regular meet ing of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce. All other commercial organizations in the Territory have been so notified
 Vice-President H. VanderLeest, presiding today in the absence of pr. w. w. Council President, an- nounced the delay in arrival of certain materials had slowed up work on the building and there was possibility it might not be completed by the original dedica- ton date.
 Special Rates Possibly
 In order to insure that all work is finisbed before the ceremony takes place, 1t was decided to post pone it for two weeks. This it is believed, will make possible more general Territorial representation. Rates from Southeast and vest ern communities probably will be lowered by Alaska steamship com- panies for the occasion and this it is expected, will make it possible for Cordova, Valdez, Seward, An chorage and Fairbanks to send delegations.
 Plans for the ceremonies call for certain phases of the program to be presented on the evening of February IA and the remainder Of 1t on the following day.
