AND POOR
HAVE HOLIDAY

Copyright, 1884, BY United Press
How the world spent Christmas:
President Roosevelt presided at
the family's tree in the White
House, romped with his grand
children, carved the turkey at the
family dinner.
King George of Great Britain
delivered a family talk by radio tc
his farflung empire.
Priests and ministers throughout
the world appealed for peace on the
anniversary of the birth of the
Man of Peace.
Bomb explosions marked Christ
mas in Havana.
Soldiers in the South American
Chaco. scene of bitter warfare. had
a light day of fighting, enjoying
Christmas tobacco and liquor. Only
a comparative few were killed.
On the high seas, Santa Claus
came down the stacks of great oc-
can liners, delighting children
among passengers.
Cities throughout the world pro-
vided their poor with excellent
Christmas dinners.
And in millions of average homes
throughout the Christian world,
and in number of non-Christian
countries. such as Japan, the holi-
day was observed in the tine-hon-
ored way--a glittering tree, the
Joyous shrieks of children delight
ing in Santa Claus gifts, and ex-
tensive dinners.

Bonus GiUen To
Hardware Clerks

Improvements in business condi-
tions with splendid increase in
Christmas sales in all stores Of the
Imperial Valley Hardware COM
pany in Imperial and Yuma valleys
made it possible for the company
to distribute a $500 Christmas bon
us to its regular empoyees, War
rem Currier, general sales manager
announced this morning.
Thirty employees who have been
with the pioneer hardware firm for
10 years or longer shared in this
bonus which was a partial reward
for their loyalty to the company
and faithfulness to the public in
giving prompt and intelligent SER
vice during the Christmas rush.
This service, Currier said, was
given at the expense of their own
comfort and these employees re-
NAMED at their posts many extra
hours without having been asked to
do so.

COW
ARRIVES To
Be WITNESS

FLEMINGTON. N j.. Dec. &c.
UP-Legal preliminaries to the
opening of the Hauptmann murder
trial began today with the prose-
cutions announcement that AZ We
niremen's names would be drawn
for examination as jurors when the
case is opened formally January 3.
With only one week remaining
before the trial starts one of the
star witnesses arrived to wait the
call of the court. Betty Gov. the
nurse who put to bed the infant
son of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh
the night he was kidnapped, re-
turned from Scotland. She was
called across the Atlantic as a
prosecution witness, but the de-
Tense also has declared IL con-
sidered her its star witness.
Miss Cow arrived yesterday on
the liner Aquitania amid excep-
tional efforts to hide her iden-
tity. She was listed on the ships
books as Bessie Galloway" She
went to the Englewood. N. j.. man.
sion of Mrs. Dwight w. Morrow,
mother of Mrs. Lindbergh.
With preparations for the trial
came the possibility that a new
jury panel would be summoned
grew more remote. State officials
planned to confer today on COM
plications arising from the mailing
of satire on the Lindbergh case
to $50 prospective jurors. Calling
Of a new panel would delay the
trial possibly a month.
Bruno Hauptmann, the defend
ant, seemed calm. He spent Christ
mas reading. He ate the same
dinner served IA other prisoners.
1t consisted of stewed chicken,
mashed potatoes, creamed onions,
spiced cabbage, bread, butter and
coffee.
Mrs. Hauptmann, who has moved
here from the Bronx to be near
her husband, made a radio ap-
peal ito the people of the coun-
try to wait until they hear every
side of the story before they con-
denim him"
She reiterated her belief that
Hauptmann had nothing to dc
with the kidnapping.

THE NATION SPENT

There is something else to consider to-
day besides the framework of the turkey
and the toys which played such promi-
nent parts in the great Christmas festi-
val
Reports from all sections of the coun-
try tell of tremendous increases in
Christmas shopping, ranging from 10 to
40 per cent and reaching a high point of
SO per cent in Knoxville, Tennessee. The
proximity of this latter city TO the Ten
nessee Valley Authority operations, un-
doubtedly explains the heavy increase
there.
A check-up by the United Press shows
that Monday staged a terrific rush of last
minute buying and established a fitting
climax to the trading done in the prev
ious three weeks.
Practically all reports state the Christ
mas trade was the best since 1929-the
last of the ''big years"
Here in Ell Centre the general report
is of much heavier sales than in previous
years and the majority of merchants
agree that it was the best buying Christ
mas in the past five years.
The reports are definite proof that
business is better. Granted that there is
considerable artificial stimulus to
Christmas buying, the fact remains that
people had money to spend for Christ
mas this year, something that has not
been the case in recent years.
Economists have been preaching to US
that buying is essential to speed recov-
cry. This being so the Christmas buying
has given us good start in the fine art
of buying. Now if we can keep it up,
and get the means of keeping it up, we'll
probably be all right. 1t sounds perfect
ly simple, doesn't it?

down to the woodland path along
which the two rabbits, one Uncle
Wiggily and the other Dilly, were
soon hopping.
Every once in a while Dilly would
stop wheeling the carriage to go
around in front to look and make
sure Rose wasn't catching cold. And
she wasn't, for the Christmas doll
never coughed or sneezed once.
"You take good care of your doll,
Dilly," said Uncle Wiggily.
That's because I love her the best
of my Christmas gifts" said the lit
tie rabbit girl. So she and Uncle
Wiggily hoped on and on and Rose
rode on and on in the carriage and,
soon, they came to a place in the
woods where some poor little mice

plenty of issues. and one of his
favorites is the contention that the
federal government contributes too
much to the support of the District
of Columbia and that the residents
of the district 90 not pay enough

Blanton did not overlook an op-
portunity to hammer home some
new arguments on that point when
he sent Christmas greetings to all

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26. U1 =
When listing the things OF which
Daniel c. Roper, secretary of COM
merce, is proud, don't forget the
aquarium in the basement OF the
huge commerce department build
ing.
OF the cabinet members, Roper
alone has an aquarium in his build
ing, because the bureau Of fisheries
is part of the commerce depart
ment.
Proudly. Roper in his annual re-
port to the President recounts that
the aquarium now boasts 1888 fish
of 81 varieties, to say nothing OF
lO7 aquatic animals of six kinds.
The aquarium is especially pop
ular with tourists and clerks in the
summer. At lunch time. they throng
the cool rooms watching mountain
trout frolic in icy water while the
thermometer outdoors tops 100.

take more LIldI Qclcdl at Lilc

After serving in the house since
1918, Britten was defeated in No

congressman, but he won't be after

despite complicationk due to the
new date on which congress con-

Previously Britten gave his party

the fence house was a little mouse
girl, about as large as Dilly.
Merry Chrstmasl" called the lit
tie mouse girl, named Nibbie.
Merry Christmasl" answered
Uncle Wiggily and Dilly.
See what Santa Claus brought
mep laughed Nibbie, and she held
up a doll But such doll as it wasl
Only an old corncob wrapped in a
rag and with a face made of ink.
But Nibbie was as proud and happy
over her corncob doll as Dilly was
over her beautiful Rose. And while
Nibbie was singing to her corncob
doll, Dilly said to Uncle Wiggily:
DiIly Gives Doll to Nibbie
do you think Santa Claus really
left such a poor doll?"
"Oh, yes" said Mr.. Longears.
"Nibbie is a poor mouse. Santa Claus
can only leave poor presents for
poor mice"
HE left me a lovely doll" said
Dilly softly. She heard Nibbie sing
ing to the corncob doll and saying:
IT love you, Dollie." Then Dilly
pushed the doll carriage and doll
over TO the little mouse girl, and
Dilly hoped quickly away, took
hold of Uncle Wiggily's paw and
said: Come on, Daddy's let's 90
home"
But what about your doll, Dilly?"
asked Mr.. Longears
I'm going to leave my doll for
Nibbie," said Dilly, blinking her eyes
very fast. "I have a lot of other
Christmas presents. Come on, Dad
dy, quicklyl Before I change my
mind" Then Uncle Wiggily, twink
ling his pink nose, hoped home
with Dilly and they were both hap
py. SO was Nibbie. And if the big
hand of the clock doesn't tickle the
rice pudding I'll tell you next about

MODERN NOVELS SPREADING OUT
 BEYOND LIMITS
One Book Reported, How ever, as Having Only q
 Pages Blank Verse
By JOHN SELBY

NEW YORK, July 3.-Future commentators may find something of interest in the phenomenon of our speedy era which yet has per mitted great many writers of prose to be voluminous. Books, instead of getting simmer, are, like the modern woman'S silhou- cite, tending more and more to burgeoning.
 One of the best examples was Thomas Wolfes Look Homeward, Angel" a fat, juicy book of a few years back; now we hear, his latest novel, to be published short ly by Scribner's is several times its thickness. Storm Jameson plans a six-volume novel, several French and British authors are contem- plating or are undertaking trll- opies and what-not, and T. S. Stribling, Pulitzer prize winner, finishes his trilogy of the south with Unfinished Cathedral y Doubleday. Doran)
 MT. Stribling, progressing from the early south in "The Forge" through "The Store" to modern times, suffers a perceptible loss in the romantic flavor of the earlier volumes, for as incidents came n1arar thev of collrse became more realistic. There is an echo of the Scottsboro case and even of the Florida real estate boom, of the happy era before '29. The canvas is a large one, but MT. Stribling paints deftly. There is much rich fare in unfinished Cathedral" a little confusion, and the feeling of accomplishment at the end.
