him with shouts of delight. The
| chubby little fur-clad children came
rushing out Of their burrows. Some
, little tots hardly able to toddle came
| spraWling over the snow like little pup
pies to greet him. Their faces were
brown, round and shiny and they
smelled of seal oil But Santa did not
mind, any more than he minds how
| children in Washington look il they
are really good children His well-fllled
pockets were soon empty of gifts, as
| the children gathered about him with
| cries of welcome.
After a while a group of Eskimos
came up to Santa Claus and one
whom Santa called "Amucktulik,
which means "hImpoack salmon"
said. Santa, you are such wonder
full driver, won't you break in rem
deer for us?"
Santa laughed and said Nov,
neighbors, I know you like fun and
you are always playing jokes, SO
guess you would like to play one on
Santa Claus. Your reindeer do not
know me from any other man. but
will show you how to handle a wild
one.
+We are going to have some war
pictures" shouted, and got ready
with the camera.
First the Eskimos got rawhide ropes
and lariats and began searching
through the herd until they found
the big reindeer stag they wanted to
break for sleigh deer. Then they
closed in on him and as the deer
raced past, an Eskimo threw the
rope around his antlers and succeeded
in tying him to stake. They har-
messed him to a low reindeer sled
with runners wide apart so it would
not upset easily. Then up came
Santa to break the deer. that Is, get
him used to the harness and sleigh
as they would break a wild horse to
the harness and wagon.
Santa united the deer and in a flash
the stag made wild leap to get back
to the herd half mile off
Santa is a nimble old man as you
know and thinks nothing of sliding
down a chimney but he missed jump
ing onto the sled and Santa and sled
were tumbling and racing and drag
ging in the snow for many minutes
while the Eskimos laughed loudly. At
last the deer grew tired and Santa
picked himself up out of the snow
with his cap gone and his whiskers
and hair full of snow, but smiling
and laughing Just the same.
Then Santa very slowly and quietly
went up to the deer and started to
talk to him, but the reindeer did not
seem to like Santa's red coat and
trousers and sat down on his haunches
and tried to strike Santa with his
forefeet and shook his antlers at
him when he came close enough to
pet him.
They all had a good laugh at
Santa's expense. Three times Santa
and the reindeer repeated the per-
formance except that Santa did not
miss the sled again. Finally with all
the coaxing and petting. the reindeer
gave up and followed Santa like a
good little dog, back to the village.

n YEW YORK, November 24-The
Nations socially elect-elected
VI by the anonymous board which
L annually decides who shall be
who in the social register-no
longer include Mr.. and Mrs. Elliott
Roosevelt.
The son and daughter-in of the
President have been dropped from the
1885 edition of the Register. now be-
ing distributed among the bluebloods
and wealthy.
President Roosevelt and every other
member of his family is listed. Mrs.
Anna Roosevelt Dali, his only daugh-
ter, escaped the eraser which often
deletes the names of divorces. She is
listed as resident of the White Hou-a.
Divorces which win disapproval are
not the only reasons for eliminating
names, however. Marriages outside
the circle and stage careers have cut
short many an entry as the years roll
on Other reasons also prove weighty.
Mrs Mildred T Holmsen is left out
OF this years volume. She acquired
wide publicity by wearing shorts and
going barefooted at Reno.
Others who have been dropped are
Rosamond Pinchot, actress and niece
of Pennsylvania Governor; Mrs.
Madeleine Force Astor Dick Fiermonte,
the wife of EMO Fiermonte, pugilist;
Cobina Wright and her former hus-
band, William May Wright, and Fran
els Hitchcock, divorced member Of the
polo playing family.
If it's any consolation to those
dropped from the lists, such promi-
nents as James Bryant Conant, presi-
dent of Harvard University, and the
Grand Duchess Marie of Russia never
have been recognized.
On the other side of the ledger, the
former Eleanor Hutton is back in the
register as Mrs. George c. Rand. She
was dropped after her elopement with
Preston Sturges. playwright, and got
no recognition after this marriage was
annulled and she became Mrs. Robert
Etienne Gautier.

We were hurled through the air. The

Trouncer and the other reindeer
seemed to enjoy the ride.
The carpet as if controlled by magic
proved perfectly safe for the animals.
Jimmy Aide, the dwarf, climbed from
the sleigh and rerched on Trouncer's s
back. 1t was great sport for the
little fellow.
Il received a letter last night"
Santa said, ''in which I was told that
the little boys and girls in Washing
ton were writing Santa Claus letters
for dozen of the characters in The
Star comic page"
Worries About Annie.
The gift giver laughed and laughed.
will Orphan Annie have a happy
Christmas?" Mrs. Kleinschmidt asked.
Jimmie the dwarf heard little Orphan
Annie's name mentioned and he
leaped from the back of Trouncer
and climbed up on the seat beside
Santa. What will you give Annie?"
Jimmie asked anxiously
Annie will get plenty Of gifts
Santa answered. "Slfe always has
been good girl. I always remember
such little girls.
Il think that The Star, is doing
a great work in giving $50 in prizes
for boys and girls writing the best
Santa letters. The children not only
learn to write, but they show that
they are interested in other little tots
who are in need Of help. I make good
marks on the record for boys and
girls who are kind to their parents,
teachers and other little children"
Mrs. Kleinschmidt was enjoying
every moment of the ride. The sleigh
pitched and rolled with an easy mo-
tion and the deer burst through the
clouds without any trouble.
Rides Over the Ocean
BY this time our sleigh, with
speed faster than an airplane, was
soaring over Banks Land. Then we
crossed Wales Strait to the northern
part of Victoria Land, where we had
battle with wolves on our way

Claus spoke to Donner and Bitten,
his two leaders. They pointed their

in few moments we landed on the

Eskimo village, our airplane base.
1t was the most unusual ride NOR
tai man had ever taken, md some
how we were glad to be on solid
ground again. We hitched up our
own teams once more, for it would
not do, Santa said, to arrive at the
village other than in a human, nat
ural way. AS the Jingle of our sleigh
bells was heard in the village men,
women and children popped from
their underground igloos, like prairie
dogs, and came running up to our
caravan to give us great welcome

Reliefer Hopkins is the fastest step
per in the administration. He can
do a Virginia Reel so swiftly that you
cannot detect, with the naked eye, that
he has even moved. That was the
technique employed in the recent
change of F. E. r. A. policy on the
30-cent minimum wage. The order
was issued November 10, but 1t did not
get into the newspapers until three
days later.
Found Labor Shortage.
Mr.. Hopkins did not say so, but the
cause of the order was his investiga
ton of relief conditions In the South.
He found on his personal tour that
there was an actual shortage Of un-
that class of laborers Qargely COL
oreO could get more money for less
work in the F. E. r. A. This condi-
ton was rather serious in the cotton
and tobacco areas of the South and
also in the onion growing and beet
sugar districts elsewhere, and en-
ployed workers we're bowling because
the 50 40 a day going to those on re-
lief work was more than they re-
ceived.
1t is not new situation. Mr.. Hop
kins fought a telegraphic duel with
Gov. Talmadge of Georgia about it
last year. Many words were spilled,
but no blood. More recently Mr..
Hopkins met with group Of business
men in Mississippi.
He said to them: "AH right, If
De cut the Government wdge to 81
day piH you gipe these people
jobs?"
The business men said they uere
AFRAID they did not hare the jobs.
"You admit, then" Hopkins re-
piled, that it isn't our ,Uage that
keeps you from hiring the men,"
Something happened to make
Mr.. Hopkins reel around tew
days later.
Order Inspired Higher Up.
There can be no question but that
the about-face was directed by some
one higher than Mr.. Hopkins. In all
previous similar cases he has brought
up such subjects at his regular staff
meetings. The wage subject was NOT
brought up. The first his staff knew
about the order was when it came
from the mimeographing room.
Liberals will howl because they have
always insisted with Mr.. Hopkins that
the New Deal was establishing q new
standard of living by a high wage
scale. 1t will now mean lower relief
wages throughout the South, but it
may mean an increase in other sec
tions, where the prevailin wage scales.
now to be followed by the Govern
ment, are much higher.
1t Is another indication of the elimi-
nation of unsatisfactory policies IN
the quietest possible manner.
This Winters Ballyhoo.
The two big things the administra-
ton is going to ballyhoo this Winter
are housing and factory obsolescence.
Mr.. Roosevelt's best economists have
submitted to him privately some fac
tory obsolescence figures which are
quite significant. Their computations
show that approximately four billion
dollars year has been laid aside by
factory and mine owners for depre-
citation. Little Of it has been spent
since 1929. The total now available
for improvements and expansion in
this stagnant pool Of capital is at
least 10 billion dollars, they contend.

Housing Holds Key.
The housing possibilities also are
tremendous. The United States nor
mally spent about three billions a
year on home construction prior to
1929. This item now Is down to 300
millions year (one-tenth of normaD
Mr.. Roosevelt's economists have fig
ures indicating we could easily spend
upward of two billion dollars next
year on housing, just catching up
with what they call normal require
ments.
The trouble with all these enthusi-
astic plans is the same as the ex-
perience with all New Deal help so
far. Expectations always outstrip
realizations. As one wise old Journal
ist here said recently: These things
always flow like lava" Don't expect
too much.

R|CHBERG'S VIEWS ).
0PPOSEDBYL LABOR.
Interpretation of Section
IA Declared in Conflict
With Boards.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Interpretation of section Ia of
the national industrial recovery act
repeatedly insisted upon by Donald r.
Richberg, President Roosevelt's recov-
cry co-ordinator, Is completely unac-
ceptable" to organized labor.
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, de-
nounced Richberg's Interpretation of
the section in an interview today and
declared the opinion Of the Presidents
adviser is fatty in contradiction to
that of the National Labor Relations
Board.
The Richberg Interpretation, Green
said. served only to increase the CON
fusion" surrounding labor's rights un-
der N. r. A. Green based his argu-
ment on the labor boards ruling in
the famous Houde case that If a ma
jority Of the workers in particular
plant vote for collective bargaining
representation by a particular union,
that. union shall speak for all the
plants employees, with the right Of
minorities to present grievances pro-
tected.
Confusion Claimed.
Richberg's contrasting views Is that
only those actually voting in the elec-
chosen, with those participating bound
to abide by the results. but with that
result entirely inapplicable to employees
who refrained from voting.
Mr.. Richberg's Interpretation has
added to the great confusion that
already exists" Green said Either
the Labor Board is right and Rich
berg is wrong. or Richberg is right
and the Labor Board is wrong.
I'm this conflict of interpretations
labor accepts that Of the National
Labor Relations Board. the judicial
tribunal created by Congress for the
purpose of interpreting section IA
and applying it to particular cases.
Labor cannot and will not accept
Richberg's Interpretation. Under his
Interpretation a corporation can abso-
lutely control the economic destinies
of all its workers"
Houde Decision Hailed.
The controversy goes back to the
federation's war upon the company
union Elections of the type referred
to have been directed as giving the
worker an opportunity to express by
secret ballot his preference for union
with national Affiliations or for the
employe representation plan Of the
employer.
The Houde decision was hailed by
labor as a monumental victory, since,
II enforced, the national and inter-
national unions chosen in such cleo
tions would have the legal right to
represent all the workers in the plant
in which the election was he'd.
Under Richberg's Interpretation.
which was uttered soon afterward and
repeated this week, labor contends
the purpose of sIch an election could
be defeated BY unscrupulous corpora
tions using influence and coercion to
prevent numbers OF their employees
from participating in me election.
The federation. Green said, has
several committees at work drawing
up proposals for revamping the ma
tional industrial recovery act. They
will be submitted to the President and
to Congress.
