The holiday period near Thanks
giving became of great importance
to these first Americans because
they had done away with Christ
mas as evidence of their excom-
munication from the church OF
England.
For many years Thanksgiving
was celebrated neither universally
in this country nor on the same
day. 1t was first standardized by
Abraham Lincoln and since has
finally come to be held the las!
Thursday in November by presl-
Dental proclamation.
A day of thanksgiving is also
celebrated by Canada. However
this is not a country wide custom
1t usually is celebrated on the last

TATTOO ARTIST
HAS ROYALTY
AS PATRONS

LONDON, Nov. 25. U.P)-There
is a human autograph book in a
queer lite hut behind a building III
Jermyn- street, London.
He is Sutherland Macdonald,
the tattooist, who has gone about
the world for more than 40 years
tracing weird designs on the bodies
of kings, princes and other we'll
known people. Many of his famous
clients have personally tattooed
their signatures on his arms.
Macdonald has carried out in
tricate designs in color on people
in every class of society.
Il have tattooed butterflies on
the shoulders of Gaiety girls" he
declares. "I often tint new skin
that has been grated to human
faces.
MANY well-known people have
had almost the whole of their
bodies covered with designs.
"A soldier had socks tattooed,
and when he got a bullet wound
the healing left a light mark, and
1 had to darn it. tattooed a de-
sign on the arm of an American
businessman and his bankers in
India would allow him credits on
the sight of it.
I'm afraid my art is on the
wane now though. People are
afraid of the needles, although
! they are quite harmless"

Black or Slate. The Bronze is by
far the most popular breed, and
Bronze turkeys are produced as
compared with other varieties in
about the same proportion as the
white Leghorn to other breeds of
chickens.
The last census indicated a year.
ly production of approximately L.
100000 for California Since that
time there has been a considerable
increase. Texas ranks first as a
turkey producer California is now
either second or third. but before
long will probably lead in this in
dustry.
The output from hatcheries for
the year showed an increase of ap-
proXimately As per cent. A large
part of this increase, however, was
wiped out by heavy mortality
among poults. 1t is believed that
even with the enormous loss there
will still be an increase over last
year.
The increased hatchery output is
only a partial increase in total
birds, as fewer poults are now
hatched by hens, and artificial
means are rapidly replacing the
hens for breeding.
The average weight of a turkey
is Is pounds, based on hens which
generally range from II to 18
pounds, at market time.
On the basis of farm value, the
estimated value Of CALIFORNIA; tur-
key crop is at least $5,000,000.
Very few cold storage birds are
sold on the holiday market. Most
of the turkeys produced in Cali
fornia are marketed in the four
mCnths of October, November, De-
cember and January. Only a small
percentage are marketed prior TO
Thanksgiving. Somewhat more find
their way to market before Christ
mas and a very large proportion of
the flocks are marketed after New
Years.
Those marketed in January and
February go into freezers in large
numbers and are marketed during
the spring and summer, the chief
outlets being hotels and restaurants.
This year there are few remain
ing in cold storage in California
so that practically all of these Of
fered for sale on the Thanksgiving
market will be freshly killed stock.
Methods of display may both add
to their appearance and increase
sales. The killing and dressing of
turkeys has been standardized to
such an extent that most of them
are properly prepared. The differ
ences are mainly in the fattening
Of the stock. 1t is likely that the
quality of those on the Thanks
giving market will be good but, no
doubt, some unfinished birds will
find their way to market.

WIJH HIS proclamation TO Ufle I'll
grims in 1921 did not originate an
exclusive American custom. The
United States, however, can claim
the distinction of exclusive rights
to the time-honored Thanksgiving
dinner staple, turkey, and to pump
kin pie with which to top it off.
Feasting and celebrating as ges-
ture of gratitude for good crops
and fine harvest season originat-
ed in the land of Canaan. From
there historians have traced it
down to the Feast of the .Taber-
nacles," a Hebrew ceremony of
Thanksgiving performed after the
harvest and accompanied by BAN
quoting and merrymaking. Refer
ences to both of these festivals are
frequently alluded to in the Old
Testament of the Bible.
The next record of thanksgiv-
ing ceremonials was made by Moses
who set aside "seven days to keep
feast unto the Lord" for fertility
of the fields.
The holiday is found a little later
in ancient Greece where the
Athenians held a ceremony called
Thesmophoria, a feast to Demeter
goddess of fruitfulness. For this
celebration the women adjourned
for three days to the temple of
Demeter where they offered thanks
for their harvests. Three days of
feasting, dancing, and festivities
followed in the streets of Athens.
A similar thanksgiving period
was observed in Rome when wor-
ship was offered to Ceres, goddess
of crops, at the end of the harvest
season. This affair, known as the
Cerelia, also included wining, din
ing, and dancing as a part of the
ritual.
An interesting Roman custom,
later practiced by the Saxons, was
the exchanging of clothes by men
and women, free men and slaves on
the holiday.
The SaXons practiced a number
of varied types of holiday celebra-
tion in gratitude for fertile crops.
Most of these were handed down
from generation to generation un-
til the Harvest Home holiday sea-
son, still celebrated in certain
rural sections of England, finally
evolved.
The Britons pictured the land
as a bride clad in the golden gar.
ments of the crops and their Gel
ebrations We're frequently in the
form Of a wedding feast.
Anxious to forget England en-
tirely, the Puritans held no harvest
celebrations during their exile in
Holland. Finally, when the first
crops were harvested in America
they took it as a symbol of sue
cess in their fight against the
wilderness and Governor Bradford
proclaimed a day of thanksgiving
! which resulted in a custom hall

i. s. TO STUDY
WAYS TO TURN
COAL INTO OIL

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 25. UP)-
Research, prompted by the rapid
depletion of oil reserves, will be
started here upon completion Of a
proposed machine that will squeeze
gasoline and motor oil out of coal.
The machine, advocated as a
necessity by scientists and natur-
al resources experts for many years,
will be among the first of its kind
ever built.
According to DR.. II. H. Storch,
who is in charge Of the work, 100
pounds of pulverized coal, poured
into the machine, will emerge in
the form of crude oil-90 pounds
of it. BY distilling this thorough
ly, the scientists can get as much
as rs pounds of gasoline.
The cost of the gasoline will be
about Ia cents a gallon. DR.. Storch
believes, however, that the cost
may be reduced to 10 cents gal
lon or less after q years research.
According to present standards,
of course, such price would make
the cost prohibitive, inasmuch as
gasoline is now produced for about
5 cents a gallon.
Government officials who have
authorized the work, however, are
convinced that the price of crude
petroleum will rise gradually dur
ing the next decade or SO, due to
depletion of the present rich oil
fields.

SCHOOLS HOLD
PROGRAMS FOR
THANKSGIVING

Contrast of modern modes of liv-
ing with those of the early Pilgrims
and Puritans will be the keynote
of Thanksgiving programs in Imper-
ial valley schools this year, accord
ing to school supervisors.
Programs of some sort will be pre-
sented by every school in the valley,
both rural and urban, on Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday will be
observed as school holidays, provid-
ing four-day Thanksgiving week
end for Imperial county children.
Efforts this year are concentrated
more than ever before in aiding the
children to draw their own COM
parsons between pioneer and pres
ent-day life and to come to their
own conclusion over things for which
the present generation can be thank
full, c. B. Collins, county supervisor
of schools said Saturday.
While the first THANKSGIVING
as celebrated under the proclama-
ton of Governor Bradford in 1921
will not be neglected as a motif, il
is planned to include sections in the
program which portray the modern
Thanksgiving celebration. Children
will be encouraged to comment on
the differences which exist between
the two.
Particular emphasis is being
placed On tracing Thanksgiving back
to its beginnings in fourth and fifth
grade classes who are now studying
early American history.
Student body assemblies have
been planned for the majority OF
schools. Programs will include plays
pageants, short sketches, and

United States become involved in
war. or if the states should de-
eide to conserve their petroleum
supplies by passing restrictive leg
islation, there will be a demand
for coal gasoline" much sooner.
u. S. Funds Available
On this assumption, the govern
ment has authorized an eXpendi-
ture of $4,000 for the first year
of research at the local Bureau
of Mines, and the Public Works
Administration has advanced ST.

iments can be conducted in safety.
The coal that underlies a large
part of western Pennsylvania has
practically the same chemical
makeup as liquid petroleum. If a
little hydrogen can be added to
coal it becomes petroleum.
Scientists in Europe started
several years ago to experiment
with ways of adding this hydrogen
Finally, a way was developed to
pulverize the coal, mix it with
some materials that hastened the
reaction, heat it, and introduce
hydrogen gas under pressure.
Used In Europe
Oil resulted, and last year one
plant in Germany produced more
than 10000 tons of coal gaso-
line 1t can be marketed sue
cessfully in Germany, because the
nation has no petroleum.
After considerable study, DR..
Storch is convinced that American
scientists, with the European
method as a basis, will be able to
make some improvements that will
lower the cost of production, max
ing a reality of what has been q
dream for many years.
