evidence of good will. Homes and
churches were decorated with holly
laden with crimson berries when the
pagans celebrated the feast of Sat-
urnalia, the turning on of the SUM-"
Yuletide, the feast made to the
Celtic sun god, Yaioul, finally be-
came the celebration of Christmas,
and the holly tree, known as the
holy tree, became the sacred tree
for decorations at our Christmas
festivals.
A holly does not bear berries un-
til it is five years old. Before that
time the male and female trees cam
not be told apart. There are more
than 300 species of the plant, all of
them native to the temperate and
tropical regions of both hemi-
spheres.
Only the American and English
holly trees have rich green leaves.
These are outlined with sharp spines
or teeth, and the fruiting branches
have round crimson berries.

Ancient Holly
Still Spreads
Holiday Cheer

E In homes throughout America this
Christmas the holly plant will carry
on its age-old duty of spreading
Yuletide spirit, custom that dates
back to the pagan tribes of CONT
mental Europe.
Originally the holly grew wild in
the United States over a range from
Massachusetts to Missouri and
south to Florida and Texas. But too
much harvesting in northeastern
United States has destroyed much
of the natural growth. Today most
holly is grown from Norfolk, Va, to
Florida within SO or go miles of the
Atlantic coast, and westward in the
Gulf region to Louisiana.
Current popularity of the holly is
continuation of the custom of the
Druid feasts which honored the mis-
tletoe and holly in pagan rites. In
Europe the tribes under Roman rule
sent holly branches to each other as

ly feminine, the ostrich mutf has re"
turned to prominence for both for
NAL daytime and evening wear.
Carried with the formal daytime
costume the ostrich muff lends in
finite chic but it is of two-fold charm
when it compliments an evening
wrap of matching ostrich as pic
tured to the left in the illustration.
Paquin designs this capelike coat
and muff of black uncurled ostrich.
Many smaller round muffs of ostrich
are also shown that are youthfully
pert and extremely smart for dinner
or afternoon wear.
The long, long ostrich stole adopt
ed this season by the duchess of
Kent has unlimited possibilities. 1t
may be draped or wound about the
shoulders for protection or simply
for fattery. 1t will be especially
outstanding in black, black-and-
white, pure white or the modish
vintage tones. The one shown to the
right in the picture is fashioned of
long white feathers with black-dyed
tips.
This seasons Interpretation of the
ever-graceful ostrich fan is unusual
ly lovely. Festive fans in exciting
shades are carried, also very hand
some all-black types that set thea
ter gown or dinner costume off to
perfection. The evening fan pic
tured is of graduated uncurled os-
trich plumes in pale pink with an
uncurled ostrich hair ornament in
the new deep plumberry shade.
The encouraging part of the os-
trich vogue is that the new feather
fashions start with simple items on
the hat and fetching little inexpen-
sive neckpieces and scores of other
unpretentious ostrich fancies that
are within the reach of any limited
clothes budget.

THRILLS, feathers and furbeloWs
mark the lady of fashion today
and lovely lady she is indeed, an
alluring creature utterly feminine in
her Edwardian grandeur. The long
postwar cycle is over and with 1t
has gone the tailored career wom-
an, trim and uncompromising with
her boyish figure and her workman
like clothes. Back into favor come
portrait gowns, picturesque dinner
costumes topped by whimsical eve
ming hats, nosegays or violets
nesting in long fur stoles, opera
length evening gloves and back
comes ostrich feathers placing their
glamorous seal on the return to fem
ininity which colors the whole cur
rent fashion picture.
In the millinery field, ostrich sets
the style for the new dress hats
with their flattering softness. Long
sweeping feathers droop gracefully
from worldly dinner hats. Lordly
plumes toss above high-piled curls
for evening or lend height to tiny
formal daytime hats for fur-coat
wear. All-ostrich toques and bon
nets, without hint of fabric, are
cleverly nodded to the head. Not
only do ostrich plumes 60 to the
head on bonnets, toques and picture
hats for formal daytime and dinner
wear, but even tailored street hats
use discreet fat-worked feathers OF
ostrich montures and motifs that
are smartly conservative.
Outstanding in the evening ward
robe are the new ostrich wraps
which are designed in any number
of types and lengths from brief
shoulder capelets to full-length coats
and capes. They are in black or
white or are superbly colorful

Under Name. Mickey
r = Finn"

Sioux City, IoWa.-A mysterious
Santa Claus whose identity was re-
vealed only at his death early in
1887, will be remembered here each
Christmas as one of Sioux City's
most beloved characters.
His name was Ed T. Kearney, a
real estate man and banker who
brought Yuletide JOY to hundreds
with anonymous contributions to in
mates of prisons and missions. His
gifts were always accompanied by
poorly written letters bearing the
signature, mickey Finn"
A sample of Kearney's unusual
letters has been uncovered in the
note written to the sheriff of Cook
county, ILL.,, in 1880:

The identity of mickey Finn
was not discovered until Kearney
was in a Sioux City hospital during
his last illness. A daughter, pos
sessed of some circumstantial evil
dence, confronted her father with
the question and he confessed that
he was mickey Finn" When his
private papers were examined clip.
pings were found substantiating his
confession.
The character of Mickey Finn was
created early in the 1900s when Mr.
Kearney was president of bank al
jackson, Neb. He met many bank.
ers from over the country at conven.
tons and when he started his Santa
Claus role in the person of mickey
Finn" he simply wrote his banker
friends in other cities and obtained
their cooperation in sending the
checks and keeping his identity Sc

Gold Glittering
On Winter Frocks

All may not be gold that glitters,
but in the multitude of short lame
afternoon dresses gold is the ia
vored basic metal. The gold may
be nothing more than a pin-stripe
on black wool or silk background;
it may be combined with other less
precious metal threads; or it may
completely prevail to form a lavish
cloth-of-gold.

LEICESTER BADGER FEAST

of the strangest surviving Christmas
customs is the Leicester badger
feast, started by poachers in Nor

the village lads catch a badger, kill
and dress it. On Christmas eve it
is strung on spit over huge fire
in the inn. When it is ready the par

For the woman who looks ahead
when she buys there are some ex-
ceedingly interesting advance silks
on display. For the first new silk
print a styled palm tree design
is suggested such as fashions the
dress pictured. This print has the
advantage of being dark enough to
wear for town under the fur coat,
and it will continue to be chic for
spring in that it is new this season
both as to color and patterning.
Small neat tailored motifs in high
style colors are the desirable prints
for immediate wear.

MOVING TOWARD ALASKA AND
PACIFIC DEFENSE

Bound for the Pearl Harbor naval base in Hawaii
two squadrons of the Nays twin motored
bombers 10 ships in ALL took off from San Diego this
morning to span the $500 miles of from the
mainland to the islands, hop expected to take around
81 hours. 1t is of several such flights the Navy
has been making in recent months
1t wasn't long ago Navy Squadron made time
record flight to the Canal Zone from the California
base and of course here in the north most of us
familiar with the Navy ships which have been
hopping back and forth between Seattle and the
Ska base and out to Kodiak and accommodating
into the Aleutians.
1t is wonderful progress that the Navy is making
in the air Most authorities concede that with the
possible exception of Russia which keeps its air force
information fairly secret Uncle Sans Navy and Army
air units lead the world But that is no for
resting the oars apparently Congress is con-
WINGED it follows the Presidents suggestion for boil
steering the armed forces particularly the Navy, by
making substantial appropriations. The House APP
preparations committee already has recommended
$3.50 900 900 for the Navy alone during the coming
fiscal year.
1t may be after all that the cang of in other
parts of the world is one of those i'll winds that blow
good. AT any rate, something has awakened the
nation to the need for adequate defense And, we
in Alaska and down the coast we'll know it's high

AFTER SEATTLE CONTROL

Down in Seattle they seem to be having quite a
large political time the mayoralty race Mayor
John Dore repuedly backed by Dave Beck big man
of the American Federation of Labor in Seattle and
the who is times described as "the man
who runs Seattle" is seeking reelection Opposing
him is Lieut.. Gov. Victor A. Meyers, advocate few
years ago of hostesses for street when he was
running for the office, and Arthur B. Langlie,
a City Councilman Lange is back by the Cincin-
natus group, which is noted for high principles but
few votes Meyers is the out and out candidate of
CLIO. and therefore of Harry Bridges the Australian
ongshore chief Thus the Seattle election seems to
simmer down to fight between Beck and Bridges
for control of Seattle with Langlie sort of long
shot, who may in if Seattle voters get tired
enough of the Beck-Bridges controversy before the
ballots cast
1t looks like big time down in the Queen City,
and our only hope that somebody gets elected Mayor

operating to Alaska If must be the little brother
we're going to shout for our share of the apple.

GOSH

NEW YORK, Jan. ia single
potato contains enough potassium
to kill a full grown man.
And therein is one of the myster-
les of medicine A man himself
contains enough potassium to kill
several persons. Yet this poison in
the potato-or in the man-never
hurts human being.
Potassium is a soft, silvery metal
which never opens by itself, but
always in combination with other
chemicals. A little bit of it in the
human blood stream is fatal. Yet
the human cells are high in potas-
SUM. The poisonous metal is
bound" in the cells. For some rea-
son not known it does not escape.
Take away the potassium from
a mans cells and he would prob
ably die. Just why it is part of the
body's cells is not known. There
has been some recent evidence that
this silvery stuff is useful in regu-
lating the heart.
Medically, potassium is useful
for a large variety of ills Its uses
depend on what other substance is
combined with it. With bromide
it quiets spasms. 1t is useful in
skin troubles or nerves, rheu-
matism and tuberculosis.
