French Canadians and 9O7,569 are
Canadians of British, German and
other racial origin.
The foreign born population of the
United States was given as 13.366.407,
an increase Of only HOB in ten
years. There was q decrease In the
English, Welsh and Irish people in
the United States, but an increase of
80 per cent in the number of Scots.

stories about him. For Trebitsch-
Lincoln at one time devoted himself
TO adventure with the air of fanatic,
a man out for revenge on civiliza-
tion that killed his son as spy, al
though he FASTENED from thousands
of miles away to save him.
There is hardly nation that he
has not served and there is no coun-
try he has not visited. He has tangled
with Colonel Lawrence of Arabian
fame. He has been hunted like dog
by leading politicians. He has es-
capped the moose the bullets of a fir
ing squad. and the guillotine by
inches.
Berlin correspondents met Trebitsch
when he was press chief of the
''Kapp" government, when this ruled
Prussia for few days. They fought
with him about freedom Of the press.
Later when the adventurer was be-
ing sought by the police, CORE

him escape. 1t was rather tense
moment when a bearded man stepped
into the newspaper Office just few
minutes after a detective had called

other detective marched in. 1--WE

Peacock Dinner English
Custom Many Years Ago

FASHIONS in Christmas dinners
L come and go. In olden days at
a Christmas feast in England, next
in importance to the boar's head as
a Christmas dish was the peacock. To
prepare the bird for the table was
task entailing no little trouble. The
skin was first carefully stripped of
with the plumage adhering. The bird
was then roasted; when done, and par
TALLY cooled it was sewed up again
in its feathers, its beak painted with
gilt and so sent to the table. Some
times the whole body was covered
with leaf gold and piece of cotton
saturated with spirits placed In its
beak and lighted before the carver
commenced operations. This food for
lovers and meat for lords" was stuffed
with spices and sweets, basted with
yolks of eggs and served with plenty
of gravy.
The noble bird was not served by
common hands: that privilege wac
reserved for the lady guests most dis
tinguisher by birth or beauty. One Of
them carried 1t into the dining hall to
the sounds of music. the rest of the
ladies following in due order. The
dish was set down before the master
of the house or his most honored guest
The latest instance of peacock eating
recorded was at a dinner given to
William ~. when duke of Clarence
by the governor of Grenada.

crets. Has not every dire threat that
Santa Claus might forget them been
spoken in tone of jollity that told
their shrewd young minds that no one
was really angry? Trust them to
know the spirit behind their elders
words and tones.
How great a thing this Christmas
is that it can bring its blessing even
to little children. How far back the
impulse had to start to be so strong
that it would overflow until it reached
the lives of the children, who do not
really understand, but who feel so
truly that at this season everyone has
grown kinder
''Tidings of comfort and joy," they
sing in the words of the old carol.
And they called the message of Beth
lehem the good news Not an old,
familiar kind of good news-not that
those who had little should have lit
file more, or that those who had much
should be blessed again with the joy
of something left to wish for. But to
all a word that there were better
things possible in life than the little
reliefs from grief or loss or wann
"Good will" was the message-think-
ing kindly of people until the very
kindness in ones own heart casts out
the resentments and the wants and
the contradictions of life.
We try to be good to children, think
ing it may be that thus we pay honor
to a child that lay in manger. But
really we are kind to them because
nothing else so quickly and SO truly
shows us how our own kindness cheers
our own hearts and makes us glad.
And at Christmas we are reaching out
for those things which revive our own
faith in things that are true and good.

Retrenchment Is Forced by
Municipal Drives.

Westinghouse the result of drives
in larger cities and political subdi
visions throughout the country on
state and local taxes, the bill has been
reduced more than S500,OO0,OO0 annu-
ally from the high point it was dis
closed by special committee report
of the United States Chamber of Com
merce embracing nationwide sur
vey.
If the lesser governmental units
which have made little or no re-
trenchment follow the same course. the
report indicated, another saving of
S500,00O000 can be effected without
impairment of efficiency, while if all
the states were brought back to the
1926 level the cut would be S2.0O0.0OO.-
900. The committe estimated that
two-thirds of government costs result
from state and local taxation.
Specific steps to accomplish this
purpose were recommended by the
committee, headed by Junius P. Fish

organizations throughout the country.
