THANKSGIVING DAY

The earliest observance of Thanksgiving Day, essentially harvest thanksgiving, is traced to the Pilgrim Fathers The summer of 1621 following the landing at Plymouth yielded but a scanty har- vest and unless speedy supplies came from Europe, the sturdy cooniss foresaw that they would be re- duced to the point of starvation.
 Yet, amid such surroundings as these, we learn from the old chronicles that Governor Bradford, "the harvest being gotten in, sent four men out on fowling, So that we might, after special man. her, rejoice together after had gathered the fruit of our labor" Thus, the first Governor of New England instituted the American Harvest Home
 After the general thanksgiving for peace in 1784, George Washington, in 1789, recommended a day of thanksgiving for the adoption of the Consti tution As the years rolled by other procamations were issued until the Civil War period, when Abra- ham Lincoln established the present custom of an nual thanksgivings.
 From these national events, Thanksgiving Day, now in the main, has fallen to commercial basis, as has Christmas and other holidays, but to many the true significance has not been forgotten.
 So to this latter, as well as to full appreciation for bounteous tables, do we not only draw courage and offer thanks but also the hope that the coming year will bring a readjustment of our national in dustrial system a broad practical development of Alaska, and less turning of financial broadswords into our own bowels

OFFICER CAUSE
ARREST OF TWO

When you see a white man push
ing a Chinese on the head as they
motor through town, the white man
is probably smuggling his alien
brother.
Anyway, that's the way Jack Lee.
California highway patrolman, looks
at it. and he demonstrated as much
last night by arreSting Ed Wahl, 81
on charge of smuggling, and Wah
Fuen, Al, as the smugglee.
Wahl made his mistake in shov-
ing downward on Fuen's head as
the two were driving through He
ber, where Lee was stationed last
night. To the traffic officer it
seemed Wahl was endeavoring to
get the Chinese to the bottom of
the car, so Lee investigated.
The investigation disclosed to Lee
the necessity of turning both Wahl
and Fuen over to immigration off
GERS, which he did Both were kept
in the county Jail last night. and
early this morning taken to San
Diego, Wahl to face charges OF
and Fuen to act as evil

COLLEGE HEAD
CAUSES STRIKE

LARAMIE. Wyo., Dec. 8. W.P)--
The student body of the University

BY vote OF 432 TO IS, the STU

rupting the amours of dozen
students with suggestions that they

The Interruptions occurred last
Friday night at a dance given by
the engineering students of the
school. DR.. Crane made n tour of
the immediate vicinity of the dance
during an intermission. and opened
the doors of a number of parked
automobiles.
He found students in several of
them. The students charge that in
each case he cast insinuations upon
their morals.
I'm one car found two couples
sitting in the rear seat" the uni
verSity head revealed. THE girls
were sitting upon the boys laps.
Such actions look bad. A girl must
be above suspicion. I consider 60
ing out in cars during the dance
intermissions unnecessary.
DR.. Crane refused the demands of
a student committee that he make
a public apology to the students.
IF I felt I had done anything
warraDting an apology. I would
apologize. I do not feel that I have"
he told the committee.
The mass meeting last night wat
enthusiastically for the strike and

others were assertedly operating for
federal immigration officers.
Many other shootings. he claim

ROYALTY RIGHTS
FROM NICHOLAS

BUCHAREST, Roumania, Dec. 8.
U.P,-Prince Nicholas of Roumania
lost his bride and his rights as
member Of the royal house of
Roumania by a decision of the
Bucharest district court, effective
today.
The court annulled his marriage
to Mile. Lucia Deletj, a commoner.
on grounds that the mayor who per-
formed the ceremony was not au-
thorized to do SO. 1t also ruled that
prince who marries without royal
consent automatically loses his
rights as a member of the royal
house.
The decision was a victory for
King Carol, who despite the fact
that he once renounced his rights
to the throne to live with COM
moner, Madame Magda Lupescu
was furious when his brother mar
ried beneath his rank. Carol
threatened Nicholas with exile and
loss of his income unless he de-
serted his bride but Nicholas ig-
nored his requests.
A summons to attend the court
hearing was nailed to the door of
Nicholas Bucharest residence but
the prince did not attend.
1t was understood he had gone
to Sinaia for family conference at
which it was hoped to effect a re-
conciliation between Nicholas and
the king.
The romantic adventures of
Nicholas we're the latest in the
Roumanian family which began
when Carol. then crown prince.
married Madam Zizi Lambrino
against the wishes of his family.
which had arranged a marriage
with his present divorced wife,
Princess Helene of Greece. Carols
marriage to Madame Lambrino. also
a commoner, was annulled in order
that he might wed the princess in
state ceremony. He later left Rou-
mania to live with Madame Lu-
pescu, and Helene divorced him.
