: CHRISTMAS
: BUCKLES f:
TIMOTHY BROWN knew not
By LueIla B. Lyons

soul in Harrisburg well
l. enough to merit an invitation
to Christmas dinner, for he had
opened the little shoe repairing
cubby hole in the postoffice build
ing only ten days previous to the
holiday. And the little restaurant
served no turkey either, for they
had probably figured everyone
would be eating elsewhere.
Rather blue and unhappy, limo
thy slipped back to his workbench,
there to get caught up on the ava
lanche of work that had poured in
upon him. The first pair of Slip
pers-yes, he remembered the
pale, thin little girl that had brought
them in. "My aunt bought them for
25 cents at an auction of second
hand things in the city and sent
them to me; but they do need re-
pairing before I can wear them.
But I've only Is cents to my name
-could-would you repair them for
that amount, Mr.. BROWNE" OF
course, he assured her that it
wouldn't cost that-not to her, of
the sad and wistful eyes!
"Why, l may be shoe rebuild
er, but if those buckles aren't
worth a fortune then I'd better
get out of this business" he shout
ed to the empty little room as he
suddenly discovered the winking lit
tie buckles were not of the dime
store variety.
Luck was with him when he sent
a messenger for the poor girl own
er of the secondhand slippers, and
at the jewelers. home the pair
were in luck-the expert in gems
told them that the buckles would
positively remove the girl out of
the pauper class, for they were
really worth a fortune.
Happy and merry Christmases
may come and go, but Timothy
will never be lonely again, for the
lucky little girl later said eyes" to
Timothy, not out of gratitude but
because of love at first sight.

Popcorn Ban Decorations

Popcorn balls, wrapped in red
and green tissue paper, silver pa
per or glistening cellophane, and
piled in a decorated basket, make
attractive centerpieces for Christ
mas dinner or party tables. A
small favor may be placed in each
ball, to add interest at a party.
Hung on the Christmas tree, these
balls make pretty ornaments for
the strong lower branches that al
ways seem to be neglected when
the tree is decorated. ---a

The Amaryllis is propagated by
removing the offsets, although more
rapid methods of increasing stock are
bein developed, according to Walter
r. Ballard, ornamental hortculturist
for the University of Maryland Ex-

are easily grown from seeds, which
should be planted soon after they
mature.

Holiday in Holland

An Hollanders know that they have
something worth showing to the tour
list. Other lands have ancient palaces,
lakes, rivers and mountains to offer,
but Holland lies largely below the lev
ell of the sea and was rescued from
its ancient and powerful enemy by its
sturdy and heroic sons through the
construction of great bikes.

"Mailing Early"

MAILING Early
The first reference to mail
early" in the Post Office depart
ment files is in November, 1913.
This was at thu time the parcel post
was established. Sending packages
overseas during the World war en-
phasized the idea, and succeeding
years have found mailed packages
more evenly distributed over the
weeks before Christmas.

three days.
The uniformed men from New York and
Philadelphia are the creme de Ia creme Of the
police forces in these metropolises according
to MAJ Ernest w. Brown, superintendent Of
Washington police and chairman Of the Law
and Order Committee for todays ceremonies.
For instance, there Is . special squad from New
York, skilled in handling trafiic, which will be
on duty throughout the morning and early
afternoon at the busiest intersections.
Many may wonder why there are no uni
formed police from nearby Baltimore. There
were none, either, during the Shrine conven-
ton. On both occasions the Baltimore police
commissioner found he could not spare the men.
The plainclothes officers assisting Washing
ton detectives, Secret Service men and Depart
ment Of Justice agents today are experienced
investigators from New York. Chicago, st. Louis.
Boston, Newark, Jersey City and Baltimore.
They are expert in spotting pickpockets, f1im-
Hammers and others Of the criminal element
who prey on crowds. Gifted with . memory
for faces, they will be able to recognize any

Major concentrations Of police will be at the

place, exclusive Of Capitol and White House
police. About 100 policemen viii be stationed
at the formation area in Southeast Washing

the wealthy strata Of resort throngs.
The plainclothes men arrived here yesterday

throughout the city SO as to give as many hotels
as possible the benefit Of their police training
They have been paired OF with Washington de-
tectives, who will acquaint them with local po-
lice procedure as well as the geography Of the
city.
Both uniformed and plainclothes men have
been sworn in with police authority for the Dis
trict Of Columbia and have been issued silver
inaugural badges bearing = picture OF the Capt.
tol. All carry their own equipment, including
revolver and billy stick.
Maj. Brown believes this system Of importing
police from other cities has proved great sue
cess In contrast with the old plan whereby or
tiinary citizens Of the District were eputized to
assist regular police. The special deputies were
inexperienced wore no uniforms and hence
gave no outward semblance Of authority, and
abused their privileges. 1T was kind Of . Joke
and sometimes not very funny one," the ma
jor recalls
With a large force Of out-of-tow detectives
aiding Washington plainclothes men and secret
service agents, every foot Of the parade route Is
being watched today more carefully than ever
before. There Is . policeman Of some sort In

the Peace Monument to the point where the pa

ME long arm OF the law IN washington
today has nearly 1000 muscles. Twice
that many eyes are trained on the multi
tudes gathered here for President Roose-
velts second Inauguration.
Which is TO say that the ceremonies today
are the most carefully policed In the history
Of such quadrennial events.
The circumstances suggest that the police
precautions are exaggerated. At the Presidents
request the parade Is TO be short and simple.
The temper Of the day is reflected in the popu-
Of good feeling"
is responsible for preparations which gave TO
this Inauguration unmatched arrangements for
the maintenance OF law and order. President
Roosevelts immense popularity in this country
and abroad has attracted the greatest throngs
ever to see man elevated to the highest once
In the land.
Perhaps the devotion he has won from the
peoples he leads was best demonstrated ON
November 3, last, when nearly "a, ,0OO, 600 Amer
leans put their blessing on him and his works
by marking *" for Roosevelt Garner on their
ballots. But the outpouring today symbOlizes
the emotion manifested more than two months
ago. Each Of the thousands come to acclaim
the President feels that he or she is the per-
sOnal representative Of many millions of Roose-
welt supporters. It was In the books that tOday's
crowds would be enormous and enormously en-
thusiastic.
Thus, by having made himself the Nations
greatest drawing card the President has handed
police authorities Q crowd problem without
equal It Is to handle this crowd that the
elaborate preparations herein described are
considered necessary.

On the Democratic side Of the fence there

protest against the nomination of Roosevelt
was made to the members Of the Democratic
National Convention IN . letter signed by Al
Smith, Jim" Reed and others. It was without
effect. Roosevelts nomination was unanimous
and Vice President Garner was picked without
opposition as his running mate. The President
journeyed TO Philadelphia Immediately after the
close Of the Democratic National Convention
and at an historic and dramatic open-air meet
ing delivered his speech Of acceptance. In that
speech he denounced the economic royalists !"
whom he pictured as the enemies Of progress
and supporters Of his opposition.

7 N SOME respects, Of course, the policing Of
todays events will be less complex than ON
March 4. 1888. Every one will recall the
perplexities OF that occasion when an at
tempt had been made q few months before to
assassinate the Presdent-elect The Secret
Service was jittery. With the depression at It's
worst the whole atmosphere of the day was
one Of foreboding and despair. The outgoing
President, victim Of the misfortunes Of an eco
nomic crisis. was disliked, even despised He
had been booed and hissed almost at every
public appearance prior to the inaugural More
than ever before was it imperative to protect
the principal figures Of the day.
The millions who had voted Roosevelt into
Office looked to him as their savior Some un-
toward incident could have preciptated chaos
The burden OF police and Secret Service men
was Is Atlas. Fortunately, nothing happened
The ceremonies proceeded smoothly and peace
ably. That all went well may have been due
In part to the salutary influence produced by
public knowledge that police preparations were
thorough to the last detail.
Another problem Of the 1893 inaugural which
Is absent today Is the complicated business of
furnishing protection to incoming and outgoing
Presidents. Police four years ago had TO pro-
vide special escorts for Gov. Roosevelt and
his party at the Mayfiower Hotel. He went
to church and that necessitated additional ar
rangements Then. too, Herbert Hoover had
to be escorted from the Capitol to Union Sta.
tiOn. Such special duties are, of course un-
necessary this time. There Is only one Presi-
dent TO watch over and the biggest part of this
Job ends when Mr.. Roosevelt has finished re-
viewing the parade.
The story OF arrangements for policing the
inaugural ceremonies goes back to the last ses-
sion Of Congress, when $25 600 was appropriated
for the maintenance Of public order and the
guarding Of life and property" on this day, then
many months distant This Is the same amount
that was appropriated for the 1888 ceremonies
1t was necessary to set aside funds at that time
because Of the elimination of the lame duck
session of Congress. It was not Known Of
course, who would be inaugurated or what his
wishes might be in regard to pomp or lack Of it.
This situation made 1t dificult for Congress
70 determine how much was needed for police
purposes
