United Press Staff Correspondent
PHOENIX, April IL - (UP) -
While Arizona's 18 delegates to
the Democratic National cOnven-
ton in Chicago are officially un-
instructed as to presidential nOmi-
nees, an unofficial poll revealed
today they probably would vote
for President Roosevelt if he
should seek a third term.
Although delegates stressed they
were speaking "off the record" it
was generally believed Senator Bur
ton K. Wheeler, D., of Montana,
would be the bloc's second choice
for the Democratic nomination if
Roosevelt decides against a third
term.
Fifteen of the 18 delegates, how
ever, are pledged to vote for Roose-
velt. according to the poll. Paul V.
McNutt was rated third choice
ahead of Vice President John Nance
Garner.
Election Of an uninstructed dele
cation climaxed a state convention
here last weekend which saw the
election of Mrs. w. P. Stuart OF
Phoenix and Prescott as national
committeewoman and the retirement
of Writ G. Bowman, Nogales, in IA
vor of Sam Morris, Globe attorney.
The race for the committeewonl-
ans post was expected to be a hot
ly contested race between Mrs.
Stuart and Mrs. Samuel White who
had the political benediction Of
Postmaster James A. Farley. OBJ
servers hoped the contest would be
an indication of Farley's strength
among the 451 delegates but Mrs.
White withdrew and cast her lot
with Mrs. Nellie T. Bush of Parker.
Mrs. Stuart, however, won easily
despite the coalition, polling 294
votes to the 102 cast for Mrs. Bush.
Morris, attorney for a Globe cop
per company and leader in the fight
to oppose suspension of an excise
tax on copper from Chile, was un-
opposed for the office Of national
committeeman, Bowman, who had
served in the post for eight years,
refusing to be candidate for a
third term.
The chosen slate to the Chicago
convention consisted of 18 delegates,
each member assigned one-third OF
vote. They were instructed to cast
Arizona's six votes as unit at the
national convention.

Busy Autumn Forecast
In Home Construction

An unusually active autumn in
home construction is forecast by
the steady acceleration in the num-
Der of applications for F. H. A.
mortgage insurance received during
August, according to a statement
issued today by Federal Housing
Administrator Stewart Mcdonald.
Although the gains during the
month were well distributed
throughout the country, the most
substantial increases continued to
be recorded in areas of expanding
industrial activity.
Areas where construction under
the F. H. A. program is proceeding
in large volume are Pittsburgh,
Long Island and Northern New
Jersey, Hartford, Conn; Jackson
vile, including Tampa and other
Florida cities; Atlanta, Richmond,
Va, including the Norfolk area;
Cincinnati, Cleveland, Indianapolis,
Des Moines, Milwaukee, Detroit,

water flowing down the soil pipe
creates a suction or vacuum which
would not occur If air could be
drawn in through the vent pipe.
The pipe being clogged, this suction
tends to pull the water out Of the
traps in your fixtures. This would
explain the glugging sounds. When
the traps are emptied in this way
the odors from the sewerline can
come out into the room. The situa-
ton Is none too good and should be

However, you can cover the tile with
a linoleum wall covering.

for many years with the business

housewives have claimed that they

unrest on the part Of the kitchen

ton and make the housewives life

the spot returned. What can I do
to prevent it?
A. 1t is quite possible that the spot
is caused by sap from the wood. In
any case a coat of aluminium paint
over the plaster should prevent it
from coming through. The paint
will protect paper against spotting,
and it will take the paste, so that
the paper will be firm. Orange shell
lac should also turn the trick, but
of the two I should prefer the alumni

anything?

A Trip to Santa Land

Jack looked around. Sure enough,
close by, stood cosy red brick build
ing with smoke curling lazily from
the chimney. Of they trudged
through the deep snow toward the
house, where Mrs. Santa Claus met
them at the door She wore a pretty
red dress trimmed in green, with
snow white apron over it, and with
her gray hair tucked under a white
cap. Jack liked her at once. even
more when she brought steaming
pot of cocoa and a plate of delicious
cakes to the fireSide.
You're wonderful cook,
Man," Jack said, and Mrs. Claus
beamed as she settled back in her
chair to knit more doll socks. When
Santa finished his pipe, he said,
This is the busiest night of the
year for us. We have been working
since the first of January, but to-
night we must finish all the toys"
Come" he said to Jack, and
opened a door leading to a hall at
the end of which was another door
marked Work Shop" They entered.
Little men were scurrying about in
great hurry. Some were hammer
ing, some painting, some carving,
many wrapping and others tagging
toys. None of the busy gnomes
would talk with Jack, although they
smiled and nodded.
1t was all so very interesting that
Jack did not notice the flight of time
until Santa blew shrill blast on his
whistle. Quick as wink the toys
were put in a huge stack in Santa's
sleigh. Christmas trees were fas-
tenedto the back of the sleigh. Then
Mrs. Claus came out with big box
of candy canes she had just made.
Come, get in Jack, it's late" said
Santa, and they were off.
Jack. Jack, what's the matter
with you?" his father asked, Don't
you know it's Christmas. Come
down and see what Santa Claus
has left you.
Huh" said Jack as he woke up.
Santa Claus? Oh, gee, Dad, you
don't know the half Of what I know
about old Saint Nick"

'custom spread to England and
France.
In those countries the whole FAM
lily would go out in the woods the
night before Christmas and the men
would cut down a tree, cutting it into
log as large as the fireplace would
hold. This the family would drag
home and start with piece of the
log from the previous year, which
had been kept for the occasion.
Before Christmas our Girl Scout
troop visited lockwood Manor. a
Maryland estate quite English in ap-
pearance, which belongs to the Girl
Scout organization. and there, with
their leader and their families, found
and cut log for the fireplace in the
manor.
After a pretty hard struggle they
finally got the log burning and set
tied down for gay evening of sing
ing and eating.
BY the time the fire reached its
full height it was twilight. The sun
was setting in the west. stars were
peeklng through the pale PINK SKY,
and shadow greeted shadow as they
passed by. The girls gathered round
the brightly burning log and began
to sing Christmas carols just as they
did long ago. Later. over the same
log, they cooked their supper
Soon it was quite dark and if one
looked down upon that little scene to
see the glowing embers of dying
fire, and hear in the distance the
soft chant of Silent Night, Holy
Night" he certainly would be both
thankful and grateful for all the
things which our Lord Jesus had
done to make us happy.
This very thing was done long ago
by the Swiss and the Germans, and
many other people who were then
happy and gay, but who are now
homeless, starving victims of war.

the covers and went to sleep.
It wasn't long before he was
awakened by some one shaking his
shoulder. He found himself staring
straight into the merry face of old
Santa Claus himself. Hello, Jack, "
said Santa, come now and get
dressed. I want to take you to the
North Pole" Jack jumped up,
quicker than a jack rabbit, and
instead of his own clothes on near
by chair, he found brown costume,
not unlike Santa's own except for
the color. and bright pair of red
boots. They fitted perfectly.
Jack and Santa climbed to the
roof where Santa's reindeer were
waiting. Soon they were off in re-
Spouse to Santa's shout of Dash
away, dash away, dash away ALL"
On and on went the sleigh through
starry skies. Finally they stopped
in a clearing by large pole, striped
red and white like a huge piece of
peppermint candy. Atop 1t was a
sign that read, North Pole, Home
Of Santa Claus"

In Italy a woman called Befana
4 visits the homes on January S,
which is Christmas Eve in that
country. The children place their
shoes by the chimney, and If they
have not been good, they find the
shoes filled with ashes. There are
no Christmas trees in Italy, but
&most families decorate a Christmas
crib.
The children of Lapland, in the
far north OF Sweden and Finland,
do not hang up their stockings. nor
do they have Christmas trees. They
find Joy in attending church, in
the reunion of friends. and in large
feasts. The children also are happy
because they are able to attend
school at Christmas time. They
have little schooling, so that any
time they can go to school they are
happy and work hard.
The Pilgrims were not allowed
to observe Christmas when they
came to the New World and were
fined if they refused to work on
that day. Not until years later did
the people of America celebrate
this day.
