Christmas @e1lep

Christmas was once abolished
by an act of parliament in Eng
land. That was in 1914 when the
Puritans under Oliver Cromwell
governed the realm. The Puri-
tans' disbelief in holiday enjoy
ments was SO intense that parlia-
ment ordered Christmas to be OBJ
served as a strict fast day. No
roast beef, no plum pudding, no
wassail were permitted.
Although turkey is the essential
feature of Christmas dinner to-
day, the bird was unknown in
England in the 18th century. In
troduced from America, it came
into its present popularity in the
early 1700s.
In several states of the Union
there is a definite law forbidding
anyone from interfering with a
child's belief in Santa Claus.
Some European peoples have a
superstition - dating from an
cient times-that animals take on
the power of speech at Christmas
time.
Lewis Carroll wrote his famous
book, "Alice's Adventures in
Wonderland" as a Christmas gift
for a little girl who was the daugh-
ter of one of his friends.

with inclusion of democratic leaders from Poland itzelf and from Poles abroad On February g, Pearson reported: Roosevelt is proposing a compromise whereby Premier Mikolajczyk will enter the Russian inspired Lublin Govern ment of Poland. The United States and Britain would then recognize the Lublin Government
 1.-The Big Three re-adjusted the Polish boundaries with digressions from the Curzon Line in some re- gions of five to eight kilometres in favor of Poland" On February g, Pearson reported, President Roose- welt is also proposing that Russia withdraw some of it's claims to old Poland as a conciliatory gesture to the Poles"
 5-The Big Three decided on meetings of their Foreign Secre- taries about every three or four months" On February 3, Pearson reported that the Big Three would have their Foreign Ministers meet app roxima tely every three months" l9r4 sg | 6--Regarding Dumbarton Oaks, the Big Three reported that "on the important question of voting procedure, agreement was not reached dny Washington. The present conference has been able to resolve this difficulty. .sz Dumbarton Oaks Pearson had reported on Febru- ary s g that, the question of the Dunbarton Oaks voting procedure would be the most difficult prob lem Roosevelt faced at the Big Three Conference. He predicted that Roosevelt may have to re- turn from the Big Three talks forced to accept Stalin's veto of who shall be an aggressor. It is significant that the Big Three communique did not specify what the voting procedure was that has been worked out by them, and it is strongly suspected that Stalins view of the matter, namely, the right of veto by him probably pre- vailed. -.-f,'s
 7-The Big Three, went into con- siderable detail regarding plans to create democratic institutions in the liberated countries and to hold free elections, and announced that their three governments would consult in order to make sure that demo- cratic governments were re-estab- lished in the liberated countries More Good Dope
 Anticipating this, Drew Pearson reported February 3, that Roose- welt would demand, an end te needing in the politics of hber- ated Greece, Italy anc Belgium; second, he would demand an Allied Commission be estab. llshed in each liberated country tt guide the new liberated govern- ments.
 8-The Big Three announced that France will be invited to join then Tn this move toward guaranteeine democracy. Pearson, on Februar, 5, reported that the Foreign Min. lster of France would be asked to join in measures guaranteeins freedom in liberated countries.
 Pearson also reported on Febru. ary g, that Stalin is expected tc declare war against Japan as soor as Germany is defeated. No men. tlon of Japan was' made in thf Big Three communique, but it i. significant that the call for tht United Nations Conference was sci for April 25, the last date on which Russia can give notice canceline its neutrality with Japan. 2

L. F. Hampel, economist for Uni ted, testified to the rapid growth of air transportation in Alaska and the increase in Alaskan population compared with that of the States. The economic future of Alaska, he said, justifies the type of service which United proposes to offer and faster, cheaper transportation such as United proposes is essential to the proper development of the Territory from the standpoint of mining, timber and agriculture, and the postwar military importance of Alaska. Seattle, Hampel said, is the logical gateway to Alaska, and Uniteds studies show that only Uni ted could furnish the high degree of one-carrier service which is desir- able in air transportation, since United is the only applicant carrier which serves both the Pacific Coast and also a transcontinental route, converging at Seattle

Nonsense GIld Facts
By CHARLES CHAPMAN

The Oldest Soldier in the World
 This remarkable man, when he was seen about four years ago, re- sided at the guard house in the garden of Luxembourg Palace. He did not look to be over eighty years of age, and had a good ap- petite, conversed freely, retained all his senses, and his hair, though showing 'the silver livery of ad- vanced age" was far from being white. He was born in Poland, March 1, 1731, and had been 70 years in active military service, having at the age of fourteen en- tered as one of the body gaurd of Stanislaus. At later period he en- listed in the service of the French Republic, and served in the West Indies for some time. Subsequent ly, he followed the fortunes of Ma poleon throughout nearly all of his wars. He was in the Egyptian, Ger man, Pennisular and Russian campaigns, and attended his master in his punishment of Elba. His His first military experience was in the cavalry service, and after wards in infantry. His rank was that of corporal. He has been in
 thirty-nine general battles, and
 was five times wounded. Since 1914 he has resided in Paris and has always been an object of at- tention and respect for his wonder career. The King invariably called upon him when visiting Luxem- bourg, and all classes united in bestowing upon him proofs of re- spectful admiration. At the 18th anniversary of his birth, the day proceeding the visit here de- scribed, a deputation of all classes in the vicinity of the Palace called on him, bringing presents of vari- ous kinds. He was 120 years and two months old at the time of his death, and probably no man has lived so adventurously, as fey Sur- vive so long period of life. In the active duties of the camp he spent the allotted three score
