@. What is the origin of placing
lights in windows at Christmastime?
&C. w. B.
A. In Colonial times the celebra-
tion Of Christmas was forbidden, but
later, when the festival was observed,
it became the custom to place lighted
candles before every pane of glass on
Christmas eve. From Boston the
practice spread to other cities, elec-
trio lights eventually taking the
place of candles.
@. Is there much fertile soil in
Alaska?-N. B. E.
A. Experts have estimated that
about $1,000 square miles of Alaska
are tillable, an area slightly larger
than that of the State Of Georgia.
@. How nearly accurate is a we'll
made watch?-F. E. L.
A. Many watches vary only 30
seconds a week.
Q. What is the origin Of the
American coWboy?-E. l.. H.
A. The American cowboy came
into existence when, in 1921, settlers
pushing westward into present-day
Texas discovered the local Mexican
ranches, the methods of the VAGUE
ros and the commercial possibilities
in the herds of ownerless cattle and
horses which were on the Texan and
Western plains.
@. Do mountain States have more
area than States which are flat?-
G. Y.
A. The Geological Survey saws
that when land is surveyed for divi-
sion it is treated as plane surface.
Therefore, quarter of a section of
level land contains the same amount
as quarter of section of rolling
land, but there may be actually more
surface or earth in the rolling section
than in the level section.
@. How long did it take the May
flower to reach America?-L. P. H.
A. Her voyage to the New World
took 63 days.

Arthur Trains Stories real person?
II. T.
A. Twentieth Century Authors

been drawn partially from an old
Southern lawyer.
Q. What English newspapers have
the largest circulations?-M C.L.
A. The London Daily Express

circulation Of about IL million and
the Evening News (evening) recently
reported over a million sales.
Q. Can a large city maintain its
population without the addition of
newcomers from other localities?
M. G.
A. Experience shows that no big
metropolis reproduces its own popu
lation through births. Without
steady immigration the population
declines.
@. What Presidents were railroad
men?-A. A.
A. James Buchanan was the first
president Of the Harrisburg, Ports
mouth, Mount Joy and Lancaster
Railroad. Abraham Lincoln was an
attorney for the Illinois Central and
Rock Island Railroads.
@. Is there any basis for the belief
that cut flowers last longer in COPPER
dishes?-W. E. H.
A. 1t is true Of some flowers.
Asters. daffodils, stocks, snapdragons,
calendulas, pansies, marigolds,
clarkias and annual chrysanthe-
NUNS have been found to last longer
in glass vases when pieces of copper
wire, shavings or the like were added
to the water.
@. What noted poet said that he

A. When Vergil wrote his Georges

Child Center Rolls Up
In Maryland, Virginia
Attendance Increases
Is Per Cent in Nation

A total of 1,574 children are now
enrolled in Sc nurseries and child
care centers in Maryland and Vir-
ginia as compared with 1,428 chill
dren in 48 centers during Septem-
ber, the Federal Works Agency re-
ported today.
Largest enrolment was reported
in Maryland, with 1908 children in
80 nurseries, while Virginia has 56e
children enrolled in % centers. Maj
Gen. Philip B. Fleming, FWA ad-
ministrator, attributed the growing
enrolment to increasing employ
ment of mothers in war work ano
to the reopening of schools.
He added that attendance al
nurseries and child care centers
throughout the country has in
creased by approximately rs pei
cent during recent weeks and that
total enrolment now totals about
48, 900.
Liberalized assistance by the FWA
to the various centers has enabled
them to keep fees under so cents
per child per day. Several cities
have been charging 81 and others
rs cents because they feared oper.
