Many Notdbles
HORRORS DESCRIBED
Insists People Are Willing
To Endure More Rather
Thun Surrender

Washington, d. C.-Sir Waite,
Citrine, general secretary of the
British Trades Union Congress, ap
pealed to the American people to give
unstinted aid to Great Britain so thai
the menace of Hitlerism can be wipeC
out.
Speaking at dinner given for him
by the American Federation of Labo,
here and attended by Justices of the
Supreme Court, Cabinet members
high ranking Government officials
members Of Congress and many labor
leaders, Citrine evoked an enthusias.
tic response.
With fervent eloquence he described
the horrors which the British people
are undergoing today from the Nazi
Blitzkrieg but he insisted they were
willing to endure even worse de-
struction rather than accept the vile
conditions which Hitler victory
would impose upon them.
He declared that the British are
conducting themselves with cheer
fulness, courage and confidence, a
confidence based largely on the con-
viction that the American people will
not hesitate to assist them to the full
est extent.
In presenting the guest of honor to
the gathering, President William
Green Of the American Federation of
Labor made it clear that the workers
of America are in favor of extending
Great Britain such assistance. He
said:
"We know that if Britain wins, we
win. We know if Britain succeeds,
trade unions will survive. We know
that labor will be free in Great Brit
ain, free in America. And because
we know these things, we of labor
favor the extension to Great Britain
of all material help that this country
can give here in her hour of need"

u. s. official Calls
On Coal Operators
To Stop Accidents
Leaders of Industry Asked
To Make Mining More
Heulthful Job

FltLSDurgn, "a. tlLNS DIR. X. X
Sayres, director of the Bureau OF
Mines, United States Department OF
the Interior in an address at the an
nual dinner of tie Coal Mining In
stitute Of America here, called upor
leaders Of the industry to make Goa
mining a more healthful and safer
occupation.
Characterizing the 1910 major dis
aster record in coal mines, which took
a toll Of 2G7 lives, as the blackest in
12 years, Doctor Sayers asked the
coal-mine operators and officials what
assurances they can have that SINH
lar catastrophes will not continue to
occur. The industry, he charged, was
not taking full advantage of findings
of scientific research and investiga-
tions into safety.
"The Bureau of Mines has no reg
ulatory or police powers" Doctor Say
ers declared. ats work is of an in
vestigative and educational nature
and it must rely upon the cooperation
Of the various mining departments
and the mining industry to make its
findings effective in the betterment of
conditions"
After pointing out that coal mining
is carried on in more states, provides
more freight, furnishes more power,
and gives employment to more men
than any other branch of the mineral
industries or any single manufacture
ing industry. the Bureau Of Mines di-
rector described more than a dozen
major activities of the bureau which
benefit the industry.

Christmas
Nineteen Hundred and Forty

Nineteen Hundred and Forty
Nearly two thousand years ago
a little Child was born in Bethle-
hem of Judea. Could anyone who
looked upon Him that day, and
upon the lowly Mother who bore
Him, have dreamed that the hour
would come when in distant coun-
tries songs would ring in far-off
lands hailing Him as King of
Kings and Lord of Lords? That
born in stable of a village inn
He would be adored by generation
after generation in years to come
as the Prince of Peace?
Since that day in Bethlehem,
kingdoms have been born and died,
nations have arisen and fallen yet
the name of that Child this Christ
mas Day in 1910 will be upon the
lips of unnumbered millions and
sung by grateful souls in places of
adoring worship and in unnum-
bered millions of Christian homes.
Then why a world at war today?
Why the training of a nations
youth to learn the deadly game of
how to kill their human brothers ?
Just because this world of men
and nations has never dared be-
lieve the teaching of Him whose
name makes possible this Christ
mas Day of 1910.
Over and over again through
these more than 1900 years the
sky has darkened, the clouds have
been rent, wars have threatened
the very existence of the faith tina:
bars His name, but that faith en-
dures and will endure until men
and nations learn that love is
mightier tI.an hate and that Christ
and not Caesar is King of Kings
and Lord of Lords.
To every reader of these words,
to every member of every home
INTO which they go, we send the
wish for the happiest possible
! Christmas and the best possible
/ Naxu Vaor and We apd thiS Wi oh
in the hope of that better day that
Is sure to come.
"ChriStnlds morn, oh, let as sing
Honor and praise to Christ the
King,
Sheltered first in lololy shed,
And Graded there 1ohere the cat

The Low Down From
Hickory Grove

Old Nero fiddled around, and let
his town burn down-and got his
name in our history books. But
the Romans paid for Neros fid-
dim, Nero had the fun and the
Romans paid the bill. I guess it
was in Rome where the old slogan
got started about If you dance and
cavort you got to pay the fiddler.
But anyway, we are not so many
jumps behind the Romans. We
been leavin' the running of every
thing to our Boys down there on
the luxuriant Potomac, and bro.
Their, we sure are gonna get some
fiddlin' bill
But I see faint signs of coming
out of our coma. When the bosses
down in Wash. say to the Boys
there, Here, you fellers, you bet
ter all go on homeland the fell
lers don't go, that is news. That's
grounds for optimism.
But even if Washington was to
burn down, like Rome, we would
keep on running, I reckon. My
neighbor, Henry, he says, 80, we
would be better off if half the
town did burn down." Henry's
quite a card.

See Pops And Lourie

Proving as popular to Seattle
audiences as to those of the East
and of England are Pops and Lou
RE, the two dynamic Sepia Bomb
shells who are appearing on the
Palomar stage this week. The Pa
lomar, in keeping with its custom
of bringing the Nations best vau-
deville to Seattle, as brought these
two colored headliners direct from
Eastern engagements.
Pops and Lourie, two of the fast
est boys yet to grace the Palomar
stage are unusual in many re-
spects from similar acts. The boys
are quiet and mooth, in putting
on an act that has all the dignity
and grace that can be asked for.
Under the personal management
of Mable Whitman, who has been
bringing her acts through Seattle
since the days of the old Orpheum
and Plantages theatres, the boys
have played with most of the big
name bands throughout the nation.
Among their list of appearances
with big bands are: Jack Hilton
in London; George Olson on Broad
way, Rappi in Radio City; Cab
Galloway at the Cotton Club,
Jimmy Dorsey and many others.
These two boys, both in their
earl twenties, were in the review
addition of "Show Boat" with Mo-
lasses and January, and in the re-
view edition of the "Follies."
AS interesting as Pops and Lou
RE, is congenial Mable Whitman,
manager. Miss Whitman brought
the father of Pops through Seattle
on tour over twenty-five years
ago. Miss Whitman has led her
band of players through the coun-
try making one night stands and
benefit performances. For one of
her shows in Washington, D. c.,
over $4,000 persons turned out. So
large were the crowds that the
city transportation means were
showed under, and many con-
ductor walked home when the
crowds took over the street cars
and BUSES to get back into town.

is the big double bill, "Give Us

the boats and one day he remarked
to Mrs. Greely:
II wonder if I could build one Of
those?"

piled "Why don't you try?"
The major first acquired an 'M'

Then he began to see what he could
do at designing and building his
own boats.
The Greelys now live in the West

relaxation from an exacting official
