we can from the wreck What shall
I do?"
The answer to this is shopworn by
this time. Alan is one not of hun
dreds, but of thousands of young
husbands who have wanted a COM
plete re-deal upon coming home. He
has lived in another world for more
than two years, he comes back to
the old world disillusioned and
changed.
1t Doesn't Work.
OF course it would be pleasant, or
it seems so, if a man could shift
off wife after a few weeks honey
moon, disclaim all responsibility for
her and her child, and blandly plan
a different sort of living with a
more exciting mate.
But all sorts of civilizations have
found that that doesn't work. That
marriage isn't just a matter of a
honeymoon. That girls who cheer
fully discuss marrying men who are
already husbands and fathers don't
turn out themselves to be particu-
larly good wives. That baby girl
has her little rights, too.
Russia had easy divorce 20 years
ago. 1t was only necessary to say
that it was desired, and the fact
was accomplished. One man under
80 told my brother blandly that he
has been married % times. But
that's all changed now. There are
basic values that have to be pre-
served, not for any ephemeral ideal
of honor or fairness, but as a foun-
dalton for solid human happiness.
Let Alan give Edith another year
or two; that's not too much, at %.
Let him take his place in his old
community, standing by his mother,
his wife and his child. He can't
lose by this plan. When Daphne is
of school age, Edith can find work
again. In these years she can pre-
pare herself for that work. But the
chances are that normal home life.
old friends, picnics, dances, NOV
les and the charms of Daphne will
work the old miracle. Alan's escape
will be not away from his own peo-
pie, but from his own weakness and
folly.

Chestnuts Scarce Now

Members Of the older generation
have a feeling of nostalgia when
they recall the joys that went with
gathering chestnuts after the first
heavy frosts had opened the burrs
Of the brown and savory nuts.
Raw or roasted, chestnuts always
tasted good, and when used in stuff
ing the holiday turkey, the results
were excellent. .#
But about 40 years ago a deadly
blight imported from China struck
our chestnut trees. killing practical

Christmas Abroad Stirs
Memories of Yule at Home
BY BAUKHAGE
Ne.us analyst and Commentator.

Almost a month before Christmas
Day, John Lewis had hint that re-
assured him, temporarily at least,
that he would not spend this years
holiday in jail. Judge T. Alan Colds
borough spoke the comforting word.
He said, in discussing the con-
tempt charge against Lewis, that he
believed "nobody's comfort would be
disturbed whatever the outcome"
How merry this season will be for
the man who defied the government
and brought down the wrath of half
a dozen nations upon his head is a
question. It would be interesting in
deed to be able to look beneath the
brow adorned with the bristling eye
brows and matched with the thick
grey hair that was once so black and
bellicose.
This season in the nations capitol
isn't as merry a moment as it is
in most cities, for this is a city of
transplanted folk, most of whose
homes are too far distant to be
reached on a short leave or via the
restricted purse that is the portion
of most government workers. As I
write, the President expects to jour-
ney back to Missouri and his own
family circle. Many Of the officials
will do likewise.

T TERE'S a variation of the
postwar marital situa-
i i ton; it comes from a
Canadian mother who feels her
self faced with an insoluble
problem. don't think it so diff
ficult, but then don't know the
persons involved. I don't know
how strong or how weak Alan
Stairs is, nor how attractive or
how inadequate is his wife,
Edith.
Alan and Edith met in 1912 at a
dance. Edith was a telephone oper-
ator; Alan was 1000 miles away
from home, and all ready to 60
overseas with the army. Both were
10. Three weeks after they danced
together they were married. Allan
had another month before sailing, a
friend lent them a delightful sea-
shore cottage and they had happy
honeymoon. Then Alan went away;
Edith worked on for five months,
and then-because she was an or

mother and went west to the family.
Her daughter, Daphne, was born
and the two women lived on to-
gether, Edith working again, Alan's
mother continuing to take a few
boarders and caring for the baby
when Edith was away.
"Edie was a weak, fearful little
thing when she came here" writes
Muriel Stairs. II hadn't wanted
Alan to marry at all, at his age,
and hadn't welcomed her too warm
ly. But as the months went by, and
especially when exquisite little
Daphne came, began to be very
fond of her, and now I may truly
say that love her, and she de-
ponds upon me.
"Three months ago letter came
from Alan, in Scotland, asking for
a divorce. Edie was hysterical with
shock, and afterwards went into a
real illness. I wrote Alan that he
must come home at once, and he
did. He has grown into a different
being, strong, brown, firm. We hard
ly know him. He shows no sign of
interest in Daphne. He has not spent
night here, staying at the hotel
Edie is crushed and continually in
tears.
Wants American Nurse.
ALAN wants to marry an Amer
lean girl who went to England as
a nurse. He owns the house in which
I live and says they will live here.
He wants me to influence Edie to
make these changes easy for him,
and says he will send her IL pounds
a month, generous enough, as he
has no job now, but she and the
baby cannot live on that.
ALAN is splendid, eager, ambi-
tious, more loving with me than he
has ever been. He is my only child,
and I am a widow. It is hard for
me to live with little helpless Edie,
and take her side against my son,
especially as he and his new love,
Rose, wants to use this big house
as a sanitorium for children and
are full of plans. If I advise Edie
to divorce him, what becomes of
her and the baby? If I advise
against it, Alan may easily make
it impossible for me to live on here.
If he and Rose carry out their plan,
on the other hand, I could be in
my element here, for I was once a
nurse, have kept up with my profess
sion, and would have the one-room
cottage back of the house as my
own home. Rose, it appears, has
some money, and would be able to
float the sanitorium undertaking at
once.
"Edie says, 'Auntie, don't send
me and my baby away Alan says,
Fix it up for me, mother, and fix
it up in hurry. Edith and I never
were rightfu1 mates. Let's save what

White House a
Center of Festiuity

In other years there have been
more festive Christmases.
The little ceremony which be-
came a custom during the
Roosevelt regime when the Pres
ident was driven out into the
crowd about the municipal tree
where he touched the button that
illumined it has been discOntin-
ued. That event which drew
many a lonely inhabitant to the
crowded square served to bring
holiday touch to Christmas Eve
and the knowledge that the Pres
ident later on would be sur
rounded by children and grand
children while he read the
"Christmas Carol was a rather
cheering thought.
There is on record the time when
two White House children, Charley
and Robert, one of them now a pres
idential aspirant himself, cut a
mammoth Christmas pie given to
their father, William Howard Taft,
by the International Bakers associ-
alton. 1t was 80 inches in diameter
and weighed 90 pounds.
There was a grand celebration,
too, when Theodore Roosevelt, ct
familia, spent his first Christmas in
the White House. The White House
police were not the least of the cele-
brants-the new president distribut-
ed no less than 81 fat turkeys among
them, the messengers, ushers, gar
deners and stablemen. This was
credited as being the largest lar
gesse ever distributed by a presi-
dent. President Mckinley always
gave turkeys to the married en-
ployees, but not as many or as big
ones; the Franklin Roosevelts al
ways had some souvenirs for the
White House staff. What President
Humans gift will be this year has
not been announced at this writing.
Back in 1892 when Benjamin Har-
rison spent his last Christmas in the
White House there was no prejudice
against things German and the high
point of the celebration around the
tree in the library was the recita-
ton of German poems, taught them
by their governess, by the Harrison
grandchildren, Ben and Mary.
That was a real children's
hour and we have a careful &C
count in the Washington Star of
that date to authenticate it. mo
nylOns or mink coats were men,

SET" says the Star, "of real

Mckee; a dressing case, with a
glass just high enough for her to

ALASKAN NAVAL HERO PROMOTED
 TO COMMODORE

SEATTLE, March 1.-The most famous beachmaster in the Pacific war, known from Attu to Okinawa, Capt. Carl E. "Squeaky' Anderson, yesterday was promoted to the flag rank of Commodore.
 He was nominated for the ad- vancement by President Truman confirmed by the Senate and re- ceived his new rank after qualify ing physically at 18th aval District headquarters. He is now officer in charge of demobilized shipping on the staff of Rear Adm. Randall Jacobs, district commandant.
 Throughout the long trail of is land hopping across the Pacific "Squeaky" as he is affectionately known to the hundreds of men with whom he served, acted as beach, master, directing the landings of combat assault troops and supplies on enemy beaches under fire.
 The now Commodore Anderson was a naval reservist operating a cannery at Seldovia, Alaska, when war came.
 When American armed forces be- gan the first step in roofing the Japs out of the Aleutians "Squeaky" went into Attu as beach, master-because he knew every cove and inlet of the Arctic coastlines.
 Since then he has served with conspicuous gallantry in the same hazardous job during assault land- ings on islands which read like a travel brochure: Kiska, Amchitka Tarawa, Apamama, Peleiu, Majuro Kwejalein, Eniwetok, Engebi, Par ry Saipan, Tinian, Iowa Jima and Okinawa.
 Commodore Anderson's heroism is attested to by his decorations; the , Silver Star, two Bronze Star med als, two Presidential Unit cita- tions, the Navy Unit Citation ano four letters of commendation, all won in combat.
