 Think of the head scratching it would save. the puzzlement and scrambling, the wild chase for gifts, the wilder chase to exchange them. Now here's the suggestion of the head of one house who has tried it cut on his family
 Let each one write his letter to cid St. Nick, on something along this line, and drop it in a family Christmas mail box: ~

And, frankly. l want camera. There are many little gadgets that never buy my -ashtrays, coasters, packs of matches. My wallet is shabby, my pen set is old.

LOG BURNING REVIVED NOW
 IN GOs.. TOWN

PALMER LAKE, Colo.-Resldents cf this high-perched town on the great Divide celebrate their modern Christmas in an old-fashioned way, by burning the traditional yule log.
 Each year the log is secretly cut. notched and tied with hempen ccrd, hidden among the trees and rocks awaiting the finder to whom gees the honor of dragging it into town
 Last year for the first time Palmer Lake burned it's yule log in the town hall, where local fire men built a huge stone fireplace wide enough to accommodate a four-foot log. Previously the cele- bration was held ill private home where fewer guests could be accommodated
 The hunt for the yule log starts at 1 pm, when all participants are summoned by bugle to meet in front of the hall
 The yule log has a colorful h z tory. In Scandinavia, where Thor Inc god of thunder, was wor- shipped, great log fires were built along the rocky shores both al midsummer and mid-winter in order to propitiate him for hi' rlnhling wrath

 Tn England. before the Reforna- tion, bringing in the yule log was an important part of the Christ mas festivities.

RAILWAY STATION CAROLS
 MAKE TRAVELLERS RELAX

In metropolitan railroad stations throughout the country this Holiday season, hurried travellers will halt to the strains of Christmas carols echoing from lofty ceilings and long corridors Originally adopted several years ago in New York, the idea has spread each December to more cities until railroad station music has become a tradition.
 The concerts were started because railroad officials decided everyone was in too much of a hurry" around Christmas time, and that if people could relax before starting their homeward journey they would have better time.

THE crisis didn't seem so bad

Dismissing personal opinions
and political aspects of the war
clouds across the Atlantic, Major
R. Ernest Dupuy, co-author of "If
War Comes" now virtually the
U. S. Army officers bible, said
that if Germany tries to invade
Czechoslovakia, with Italy as an
ally, and France, Great Britain
and Russia against her, the pic
ture probably will be this:
Both France and Ruesie will
attempt to strike early blows
from the air.
ITALY FACES INVASION
Great Britain will dominate
Germany on the sea and bottle
up Italy in the Mediterranean.
France will invade Italy.
If the air attacks are successful
(and they have not been in Spain)
the war should be of short dura-
ton.
If the Germans and the French
dig into their long prepared Zines
then the war will drag on, for how
long no one can predict.
DELAY, CZECH STRATEGY
ITO meet this INVASION" said
The Germans, Major Dupuy
pointed out, would have to invade
Czechoslovakia through corridors
in the frontier ranges. There
are five such corridors, the two
most favorable being the roads

the major, "it would seem that
an air attack on Glatz, Breslau
and Dresden would be the best.
1t was doubtful a year ago, and
still is today, that Czechoslo-
vakia would make the first Of
fensive move.
THE deduction may be- made
now that the Czechs' initial
action will be delaying, con.
structing temporary barriers in
the passes and action from the
air against German troops in
the mountain defiles."
It is not at all a certainty thai
Germany, in case of moving
against the Czechs, would do sc

theory the most feasible plar
would be a gigantic air attack
