Plane Crashes, Boat Upsets
in a Search for 'Santa Clans'
Parachuter Lost in Ocean
B08T0N, Deo. 22 (AP)—High
over Boston airport, a brightly-
costumed Santa Claus tonight
ttepped from a circling plane and
drifted lazily down, suspended by
a wind-caught parachute, to drop
«nd disappear in dusk-blanketed
Boston harbor as a Christmas
party of children looked on horrified.
Several houn later, two army pilots reported they had teen the
body of the parachute jumper, 35-
year-old Harold Kraner of win-
throp, half on a sandbar, half in
the water. They tald he still wore
the parachute.
Coastguard, army, navy, and harbor police craft converged on the
general locality. Darkness and a falling tide impeded the search.
Soon after the search started, an
army plane, taxiing to a landing,
and a police automobile, rushing
underwater searchlights to tht
tctne, crashed, tending Seageant
Edward J, Selboldt, Boston police
ballistics' expert, to Eatt Boston
relief hospital critically Injured,
Lest seriously hurt was his assistant patrolman John Clorin,
BOAT CAPSIZE8
Almost simultaneously, a small
boat in which two enlisted army
men, Richard Miller and Earl Jordan, were searching for the parachute jumper, capsized. Coastguards
pulled the men, half-drowned, from
the frigid water. They, too, went to
East Boston relief hospital.
The accidents came at the climax
of a party for children of members
of army air corps detachment at
the East Boston airport.
Jumping,up and dawn with glee,
the children eagerly awaited tha
descent of Kris Knngle from the
air when:
"Private Kraner stepped out of the
plane," reported Capt. Richard E.
Cobb, commanding officer of the
detachment and pilot of the ship.
"His 'chute opened. We were about
1600 feet above the airport. There
was a 40-mile-an-hour wind blowing.
VVIND CAUGHT PARACHUTE
"The wind caught the parachute.
Kraner landed in the water about
150 to 200 feet from the airport. He
struggled to free himself from the
parachute."
Cobb landed hit plane at the airport, seized a life preserver, took
off again,'and dropped the preserver at the spot where the parachute made a light splotch against
the water,
"I don't know whether he got it,"
Cobb said, "but he seemed to be
above water then."
Kraner, an enlisted man and a
veteran parachute jumper, is married and has one'child.
Cobb returned to the station.
Alarms went out to the army, navy
coastguard and police stations. Pursuit planes roared away from the
airport, piloted by civilian-clad officers who were at the party. Red
flares cut brilliant streaks across
the water.
And 100-odd children, their
cheeks wet with tears, straggled
home.

ERIE, Pa., Dec. 22 (AP)—A broken-hearted father learned today
that the man who had posed as his
son for seven years is in reality a
stranar to his flesh, bound not to
reveamhe secret by a strange deathbed oath to his real son. .

WEALTH MOVES
CLOSER 10 SOME
FAMILY AS WILL
OF MILLAR VALID
Stork Derby Will   Is
Upheld by Supreme
Court of Canada
WHO GETS THE
$500,000 NOW?
OTTAWA, Dec. 22 (CP)-Wealth
moved up a step eloter to some
large Toronto family today but
the question of which one remained unsettled. •   -
The tuprema court of Canada
declared clause nlna of the famous
baby-raco will of Charlea Vance
Millar wu valid and rejected an
appeal by Millar relatives bated
on tha ground of public policy.
Clause nine directed that tht
residue of Millar's estate, estimated at $500,000 or mora, ahould be
paid to tha mother who gave birth
in Toronto to the largest number
of children In the 10 yean following hit death. In case of two or
more mothert having an equal
number of children, and a larger
number than any others, the money wat to be equally divided be
twetn them.
BACK TO THE
ONTARIO COURT
Millar died October 21,1926.
The court's decision throws the
question back to the Ontario court,
probably to Mr. Justice Middleton,
*!)«-• Wl-^W.'Mfttsa upoii to decide
which mother or mothers will get
the money.
The only thing likely to delay matters is an appeal by Millar's next of
kin to the privy council. Samuel
Factor,-solicitor for Arabella West
and Alexander Butcher, who carried the appeal to the supreme court
of Canada, was unable to say whether a further appeal would be launched.
An official of the National Trust
company, one of the executors of
the estate, said every effort would
be made to expedite matters so that
the woman entitled to the money
would get it.
Five Judges of the supreme court
of Canada were unanimous in upholding decisions of the Ontario
courts that clause nine of the will
was not offensive to public policy
and should not oe disregarded. Mr.
Justice Crocket disagreed with some
of the reasons in tho main Judgment, written by Chief Justice Sir
Lyman Duff, but reached the same
conclusion.
The litigation started with a reference by the executors to the Ontario courts to determine whether
clause nine was valid and if so,
who were entitled to benefit. At the
same time action was started by the
next of kin to set the clause aside.
DECIDED WILL
WAS VALID
Mr. Justice Middleton decided the
clause was valid but illegitimate
children could not be counted in arriving at the ultjmate >eneficiary.
The court of appeal for Ontario,
first, and the supreme court of
Canada today affirmed this decision.
A dozen or more women are ready
to claim the bequest, among them
Mrs. Martin Kenny, who says she
has 12 children eligible for the
count.
Seven mothers, Mrs. Grace Bag-
nato, Mrs. Lucy Timleck, Mrs. Hilda
Graziano, Mrs. Kathleen Nagle, Mrs.
Annie Smith, Mrs. Vera Meldrum
and Mrs.'Pauline Clark have reported nine children. Mrs. Marg Fee-
gan and Mrs. A. Harrison have
said they have eight Mrs. Margater

vegetables have been ln demand
for the past two or three days, and
dealers have been bringing supplies
into the district in express and
truck lots to keep pace with demand. Cauliflower, tomatoes, brus-
sel sprouts, cranberries/sweet potatoes, celery, lettuce and so on are
among the popular choices. Some
fine field tomatoes are reported to
be due for the Christmas trade.
Christmas candy In the hands
of wholesalers is about cleaned up.
In fact, dealers expect but little
carryover of most such lines.
JAPANESE ORANGES
MOVING
Sales of Japanese oranges, comparatively slow on the Christmas
market to date, have been moving
faster this week and demand is expected to be much keener today and
tomorrow. Bananas also are In demand.
Turkey prices have advanced
slightly, as anticipated a week ago,
due to shortage of supplies. Meat
dealers point out that turkey prices
are low compared with a few years
ago, some of the recalling prices of
42 to 48 cents a pound.' Since that
time sales have become much more
widespread, however, and with the
volume up prices have come down.
MEAT8, FLOUR STEADY
Meat prices otherwise are steady
as are egg and butter prices.
Flour, rolled oats and bran and
shorts have not changed in some
time.
Carlot arrivals were extremely
light in the week, two cars of flour
and feed and the regular meat arrivals being the only cars reported.

ROYAL FAMILY LEAVE
Huge Christmas Tree in Westminster!
Abbey Has Gills lor Needy Children
By EDWIN JOHNSON
Canadian Press Staff Writer.
LONDON, Dec. 22 (CP Cable)-
Frigid blasts which brought the
heaviest snowfall in years throughout the British Isles faded today
before mild breezes and dashed the
hopes of old and young in many
sections for an old-time white
Christmas. ■
Today the royal family moved
to Sandringham in Norfolk where
their Majesties will spend a quiet
Christmas with their family. Queen
Mary, the Duke and Duchess of
Gloucester and the Duke and Duchess of Kent will Join them.
The Princess Royal and her husband, the Earl of Harewood, are
entertaining their own family party
at Harewood house, near Leeds. It
is expected, however, they will visit
the King and Queen at Sandring-.
ham early in the new year.
Prior to their Majesties' departure, the King was presented with
a huge Christmas tree, cut from the
coppices of the Sandringham estate,
which tvill b. erected Jn Westminster. Abbey to mark the end of the
Coronation year. Lighted with colored candles and loaded with gifts
for needy children, the tree will be
placed near, the tomb of the unknown warrior.
On their arrival at Sandringham
the Queen will be busy supervising
the distribution of presents to many
villagers and tenants ot the royal
estate. On Christmas Eve the servants and tenants will attend a party
at Sandringham house and receive
gifts at the hands of the King and
Queen from a giant Christmas tree.
This will be followed by carol-
singing and dancing.
On Christmas Day the royal family and their guests will gather
around the luncheon table where a
turkey from the King's own farm
will be served with viands from
scattered ports of the Empire. After
lurjcheon the King will go to his
study to broadcast his first Christmas message of his reign—a custom
inaugurated by His Majesty's late
father.

Marlene Dietrich
and Studio Part
HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 22 (AP) —
Marlene Dietrich, 33-year-old German star, parted company today
with the studio which paid her
$150,000 a picture for her blond
charm.
The rift between Miss Dietrich
and her studio was disclosed in
Paramount's announcement that it
has "indefinitely postponed" filming of "French Without Tears."
Behind her formal separation
from the studio, film industry observers cited the facts of million-
dollar production costs and waning
box office receipts of Dietrich pictures.

The form of heart disease which
kills suddenly due to affection of
the small blood vessels of the heart
muscle itself, variously called "an'
gina pectoris" or "coronary thrombo.
sis" is probably increasing more rapidly than any other form of heart
disease.
People are easily Tightened by
pains in the heart, howeyer. Of
about sixty patients who complained of heart pain, over half
of them were not found to have
any real angina, and even with real
angina, the psychologic attitude has
a great deal to do with the attacks.
In the same series of cases 21
of the people were subject to mental attacks and disturbances and
psychologic upsets, such as anxiety
states and anxiety hysteria, I have
heard that angina pectoris is practically unknown among the Chinese,
although they have every other
form of heart pathology. Physicians
who have practiced there" state that
they have never seen a case of angina in a Chinese person. This interesting observation shows that the
Chinese mind probably keeps them
from worrying about angina, if it
occurs, and therefore ihey do not
complain about it.
Our methods of diagnosing and
treating angina are improving regu
larly. A patient may have wry
severe heart pains and yet have no
change in the size of the heart or in
the blood pressure or In the sounds
of the heart as examined by the
stethoscope, but of the disease is
really present it will show up in a
heart tracing—electrocardiogram.
Another method of ' diagnosis
which has been developed Is the
observation of the reaction of the
patient to exercise. True angina
can usually be brought on by exercise. False angina, due to to-
bacco usually, on the contrary goes
away with exercise.
ACTIVITIES SHOULD
BE LIMITED
In treatment, the most Important thing is the limitation of strenuous living. If the patient With
angina will bank his fires and be
content to reduce his activities, he
may continue to live comfortably
for many years. This specter of
our national life (for contrary to
the Chinese, angina is particularly
on American disease) will probably
continue to be with us. It is a disease of middle life or late middle
life, and the fact that it is increasing simply means that mora people
are living Into middle life. ,

Modetji women's hands, on, the
whole are far more presentable than
they've been in any other era. How;
ever, there is one step in nail care
that a great many women neglect
nowadays, and that is the half-
moon on each nail. The cuticle, it
neglected, tends to quickly adhere
to the nails and to cover the half-
moons partly or entirely, but it
really Is possible to develop perfect
half-moons and to retain them, if
they are given proper care.
The basic factors in preserving attractive half-moons on the nails J
is that the cuticle must not be given an opportunity to adhere to the
nails. Any girl who really wishes
attractive fingertips should not be
content merely with a weekly manicure.
GIVE DAILY '
MASSAGE
Give your cuticle a daily massage.
A bit' ot cotton should be wrapped
about the end of an orangewood
stick, and then dipped in cuticle or
wormed olive oil. Then each nail
should be gone over with the oiled
tip, working the stick from the nail
tip up to the cuticle. Next the orangewood stick should be passed
oyer the base of each nail and the
cuticle gently pushed back. This
should be repeated over each fingertip every day. For perseverance is
needed to keep the half-moons perfect.
If. you haven't time for this daily
procedure, you can benefit your
fingertips somewhat merely by the
manner in which you wash your
hands and the way in which you use
your hand lotion or cream before
retiring each night. When yon lath'-
er your hands, give them a bit of a
massage, rubbing the lather around
the cuticles on each nail and gently,
pushing back the cuticle with your
fingertips. After rinsing your hands
well, take your towel and go over
the cuticle again while drying.
First dry your hands, then rub
the towel from the tip ot each nail
up to it$ cuticle, and finally follow
the lino of the cuticle with a firm
massage movement. After cleansing
the hands in (his manner, a good
hand lotion or cream should always
be used. And when massaging such
a lotion in, give your cuticle a fin.

Veal Birds    Baked Sweet Potatoes
Frozen Cheese Salad
Steamed Ginger Bread Coffee
This frozen cream salad may
strike you as too elaborate to bother
with, but is very delicious and can
be made early in the day if you are
planning this as a guest menu, and
it does dress a meal up.
TODAY'S RECIPES
Veal Birds—Take veal steak that
is cut fairly thin- A small bit of dry
bread dressing is placed in the centre of each serving piece, and the
veal rolled around it. The steak is
then held in place by skewers or
toothpicks. To prepare the best veal
birds you ever tasted, saute them
first, in fat until they are evenly
browned, and then add sour cream
and simmer until the veal is tender.
The sauce that remains makes a
delicious gravy without adding any-
thingthlng to it or further cooking.
For each pound of veal used, allow
one cup of dairy-made.sour cream.
This will make ample sauce. If you
care to omit the bird style of serv-
PURITY

ling the veal steak, prepare it by
I searing first, then adding the cream
and simmering as directed for the
veal birds.
Frozen Cheese Salad—Use three
tablespoons of thin cream or of
French dressing to one package—
three ounces—of cream cheese, Vary
the usual half cup of mayonnaise
used when thin cream is used to
dilute it, by adding instead a similar scant measure of fruit juice of
the fruit used to give accent to the
salad. Canned pineapple cubes, sliced peaches or pears allow'variety of
flavor. Add to either-fruit, one-half
cup of finely sliced or chopped ripe
olives, and two teaspoons of lemon
juice, if French dressing is not included in the making. Fold in one-
half cup of whipped cream for bulk
and lightness of texture If desired.
The addition of whipping cream is
optional. Pour into refrigerator
trays and freeze until firm enough
to cut into slices for service on lettuce, .shredded cabbage, or water
cress. A tart cream mayonnaise accompanies this salad. Garnish with
olives.
Steamed Gingerbread—One and
one-half cups flour, one cup chopped suet, one-half tablespoon ground
glngerj one-half teaspoon baking
powder, one-eighth teaspoon salt,
one-half cup molasses, one-fourth
cup milk. Sift together the flour,
ginger, baking powder and .alt. Stir
chopped suet and rnolasses mixed
with milk. Steam two hours. Serve
as a dessert with a thin custard
sauce.
mother died that I. told my father
about Mimi. Confession was easy.
I was. consumed with a desire to
speak her name to someone. I
wanted to dwell oil her beauty, her
remoteness from the rest of the
world,- her graciousness to me. I
was bursting with big thoughts —
dreams — hopes — and these things
cried for utterance.
We were in the church when I
talked to him. It was. Saturday
night, and we had brought flowers
from our garden for the Vase by
the pulpit. This had always been
my mother's office, and she had
worried lest it should not be done.
My father had not let her illness
interfere with his preaching. Heavy-
hearted though he was, • he still
spoke to his people and found refreshment, I think, in doing it.
When the flowers were arranged
finally in the big vase, I came down
to where he stood waiting for.me
in the dim aisle.
"I want to tell you something,"
I said. "Do you remember, years
ago, you said that some day I
should find the woman who would
hold my soul in her hand? Well,
I've found her!"
He did not seem surprised. He
stood . there beside me, tall and
stiff in his blaek coat. "I"thought
it might be so, Jerry. You are
mugh changed."
"How. am I changed!"
"You live in a world of your
own. Your body i- here, but your
thoughts are far away."
He was, smiling at me, and I
knew hhh for' the same man to
whom I had poured out my soul
as a boy—that whatever might be
stiff and formal in his outer aspect,
there was softness within and sympathy.
I described Mimi, sitting down
in one of the pews to do it, and he
sat beside me and listened. When
I was through, he said:
"She doesn't love you?"
"She says she doesn't know. She's
very1 proud. And they've always
had money. And her family is very
distinguished."
"And she wants these things in
you?"
"Yes. But—I tell her that some
day I'll make a name for myself
—and that she won't be ashamed
of me"
"Love is never ashamed, Jerry."
"But she has a right to expect
that I shall give her something in
exchange for all she would give
me."
"If you give 'her youth, hope,
aspirations, sha can give you no
more than that."
"I  know—"    I   was   eager,   assured "and some day she is going
to give it,"
"How can you know that?"
"Life couldn't be so cruel as to
take her away from me!"
"Life is ojten what we call —
cruel—" I saw him clench his hand
as it lay on the back of the pew.
"But—we have to bear it, and find
the good in it."
"I couldn't bear it If I lost Mimi."
"You would have to bear it, as I
have to bear—losing your mother."
It was the first time he had spoken of it. There was a break in his
voice—an agony—
I laid my hand on his. Yet even
in the face of what he was feeling,
I would not admit that losing my
mother could mean to him what it
would mean to me to lose Mimi.
"Mother loves you — you know
she is yours throughout eternity—
but if I lost Mimi, I should go alone
through all.the ages."
Oh, it was ' utterly high-flown,
but I was much in earnest. And
he knew it and put aside his own
sorrow to help hie.   -
"Perhaps it would be best for you
to meet'the situation strongly and
put her out of your life now."    ■
"Oh, no," my voice was sharp
with the fear of It. "Why should
you say that?"
"Because you have nothing to
offer her, and she wants things offered."
, "I—1 have my ambitions, Father
—and some day I shall have Uncle
Jerry's ranch."
His sad, steady eyes met mine.
"You are counting on that?"
"Why not?"
"You won't have it until ho dies,
Jerry. And there is nothing more
stultifying than waiting for a dead
mail's shoes."
"But I am not waiting.   I—I am
going  to  work   and   achieve—and
make  her  love  mc—and  nothing
else will matter."
He stood up and laid his hand
on my shoulder. "No, nothing else
will matter. And when it comes
to marriage, it is best to say 'hands
off to everybody but the, two
people concerned. ' I might tell you
that Mimi is neither of your kind
nor class—and that there's danger
in that. I might point out that'she
is utterly unfit to be the wife of
a poor man such as you must be
in all probability for some years to
come. I might say that you are on
the wrong track when you build
your future on so frail a structure
qs writing a play and inheriting a
ranch. Yet what do I knpw of the
fires you two may kindle? Or to
what heights your love may sweep
you? So it is in the hands of God. I
can only ask that He will give you
the best—and make you worthy of
it!"
It seemed to me that he had
never been so fine as when he put
behind him all the prejudices which
might have ruled him at this mo-1
ment and thought only of how he
might meet me on some high ground
of mutual understanding.
"Only remember this," he said
after a moment, "that there must
always be truth between you. Never
anything less."
I assented eagerly. It seems to
me astounding that I should not
then have grasped the fact that
my imagination was already weaving a web of falsehood which was
to enmesh both Mimi and myself.
So real to me was the future which
I had painted that night under the
moon.
It was on Sunday at dawn that
my mother died, I was not with
her, and my father came to my
room in the gray of the morn and
laid his hand on mine.
I opened my eyes, startled, and
when I saw his face, I knew what
had happened.
"She just fell asleep," he said.
He walked to the window "and
looked out. The wprld was very
still—with now and then the sweet
clear note of some waking bird.
"Love doesn't die, Jerry," he said
"Thank God for that."
I went and stood beside him. "II
was wonderful that you could have
all these yedrs together."
"Yes," he said "it is wonderful."
I think that in both of our minds
death gave back to my mother sonje
of the aspect of romance which
she had lost in those busy years.
I know that my own vision pictured
her as she must have seemed to
my father on her wedding day. I
saw, too, in their faithfulness the
faithfulness which might be mine
and Mimi's, The love-affair of my
father and mother gained in depth
and significance because of my own.

Thoughtless Youth
Makes Extra Work;
Won'IAidinHome
By VIRGINIA LEE
My friend, thi child, psychologist,
states that a properly' brought up
child will respect others'- rights and
show consideration for them,
That is, he says that it a youngster is trained from his earliest
years to wait upon himself when
he is able, to respect the possessions of the rest of the family, and
to do his share of the household
chores, he will be a popular tatm-
ber fo any circle, and a good citizen.
Maybe I exaggerate a little, but
that is the gist of his theory.
Now When a- .young man, fully
grown, goes to live with a-relative
in a very small aiartment, where
his mere presence is an inconvenience; when he expects said relatives to pick up after him all the
time, to cook his meals, whether
they are preparing for the. other
members of the family or not; when
he refuses to lift his hand to help
in any way, or to s^ow any appreciation for things that are done for
him, I am sure the good psychologist would.say he had been very
badly spoiled when he was young. '■
That Is what I am sure you have
been thinking, my dear Mrs. L. A.
I can see no reason why this young
relative should clutter up your
small place and make such a bore
of himself., If he were a little child
that/ you could' hope to correct or
show the error of his ways, with
some hope that he would reform,'
it would not be so bad. He is, however, of age, capable of taking care
of himself, and I feel sure he needs
the training he would get in fending for himself and taking his
chances at a regular boarding house.
I think your husband shows very
little affection or consideration for
you in his attitude. Couldn't you
leave the two alone for a few weeks

this Christmas, for hundreds of toilet and shaving Bets are being purchased as gifts. The choice of the
buying public runs heavily to the
finer classes of these goods.
Perfumes, and toilet waters, particularly the more expensive lines,
are attracting many shoppers. New

High quality men's shaving accessories are high in the favor of
women shoppers, possibly a matter
of reciprocation for the perfumes

Novelty packs or. dusting powder—musical boxes, mirror boxes,

extremely attractive gifts. So do

scnlials for mademoiselle's dressing

Christmas for a good many ladies.
Novel clocks emphasizing^ the
modernistic in color and shape are
eye-catching.
It will be a sturdy Christmas for
a great many Nelson youngsters,
for sturdy toys have the preference
in gift buying. Trucks and cars, particularly those with electric lights,
continue to be the leading choice
for husky youngsters. Their chief
competitors are the many types of
dolls offered especially for Little
Sister. Her favorite book or film
character, or her favorite doll type,
are among the large family.
BOOKS  IN   DEMAND
There has been a tremendous
swing back to books this year. The
animal stories beloved by children,
and familiar volumes of years past
are in favor again. There is a heavy
demand also for new fiction for
adults.
Small dish sets of china, glass and
aluminum, will gladden the heart
of many a tiny miss, and the new
scooter skates will provide. action
for the boys.
Airplanes with wheels attached
lhat Sonny can ride, streamlined
wagbns that will make him the envy
of every lsd in the neighborhood,
small blackboards, tiny furniture
and games the whole family wilt
enjoy are rapidly disappearing from
store shelves. Mechanical toys are
among the most popular, and there
has been a great sale of animated
"Popeye", "Mickey Mouse'' and other favorites of the movie cartoons.
Even in painting books, it is the
ones featuring these favorites which
are most in demand.

UPHOLDS LIBERTY OF SUBJECT
It will come as a surprise to most people to learn that
the admittance to bail of a man charged with murder is a
rare thing in Canada.
A dispatch in Regina states that Mr. Justice Embury
allowed Jacob Daum out on bail of ?16,000. It was the
first time in the history of Canada that a man charged with
murder had been given this privilege.
Veteran officials of the justice department at Ottawa
did not confirm the statement that this was the first time
in the history of Canada that a person charged with
murder had been let out on bail, but they said that they
were unable to recall any precedent. If there was danger
that it would become established as a definite inviolable
practice in our Canadian courts to refuse, no matter what
the circumstances might be, to grant bail to a man charged
with murder, it is a very good thing that Mr. Justice Embury has preferred to base his action on fundamental principals of British justice rather than upon the habit of the
courts.
If a man or woman is charged with murder its does
not follow that the accused is guilty. In fact in a very large
proportion of murder cases, the jury decides otherwise.
Guilt or innocence has very little to do with the-decision
of a court in the matter of bail. The circumstances surrounding the alleged offense; the character 6f the accused
and the real and personal property held by himself and
his friends, are factors which are taken seriously into
account by the court. The court does not care to risk turn-
ing loose a person who may be a danger to society. No
court, no matter how much ball may be available, will
knowingly allow temporary freedom to a homicidal maniac.
Neither will a court allow freedom to a man of great wealth
if tbe court has reason to believe that such a person intends
to jump his bail.
On the other hand a court will quite often allow bail
for a relatively small amount, to a person of generally good
character, who the court feels, will honor his pledged word
to appear for trial when called upon.
This consideration applies in murder cases. There are
cases of murder in which the court may have good reason
for believing that the man it is asked to release oh bail is
not a danger to public safety, that he has no intention of
-No.?0.

evading trial and further, that while it is obvious that the
more serious the offense the greater must be the amount of
bail, the bondsmen are both honest and competent to put
up the amount involved, in the event that the court should
have made an error in judgment and find that the beneficiary of freedom under bail does break his promise to appear for trial.
The decision of Mr. Justice Embury puts it definitely
on record that under Canadian jurisprudence it is not a
fact that a man charged with murder is necessarily any
more likely to be guilty than a man charged with manslaughter or robbing a bank.

Terror in the Old Mill
By W. BOYCE MORGAN
Whoopsie! Bu-j exclaimed. "That almost scares me, and I know what it is!"
ling dummy in the beams from the
bicycle headlight.
"Whoopsie!" Buzz exclaimed In
.lwe. "That almost scares me, and
I know what it is! Imagine how the
girls will feel. We'd better find a
place to hide now, for they ought
lo be here- in a few minutes." -
Jimmy wheeled his bicycle back
lo the big tree, and Ihey settled
down there to wait, talking eagerly and snickering now and then
as they anticipated the laugh they
were going to get when the sisters
of Pi Pi Pi saw the "hanged man."
But it was cold waiting behind Ihe
tree, and soon they began to jump
up and down and swing their arms
to keep warm.
"I wish they'd hurry up and gel
here," Jimmy complained. "You
don't think there's any chance of
their leaving their cars on the highway and walking up, do you? We
might have missed them."
"We haven't missed anybody,"
said Buzz confidently. "We see the
road from here, and nobody could
come up to the mill without us seeing them."
But Buzz was wrong about that.
For at that very moment, a roughly dressed figure was inside the
mill, standing beside the hanging
dummy, running his hand over it
in the darkness.
To Be Continued Saturday
INSTALLMENT 6
Vi's important doings made il
easy for Buzz lo get away early,
and he met Jimmy behind his
house at a little before seven. It
was a clear, cold night, and they
had both bundled-up well. They
examined the lights on their bicycles to be sure that they were
working, and started out the Frankville road.
A pale moon made the concrete
road a white ribbon stretching before them. There was little traffic, and their lights and the moonlight made them easily visible to
the few cars which passed them.
It did not take them very long to
reach lhe dirt road which led to
the old mill, and as they pedalled
along it. they saw the tumbledown building, squatting on the
bank of a stream a short distance
ahead-
"We can't leave our bikes here,"
Buzz pointed out os they reached
the mill. "The girls would see
them."
They pushed the wheels back around the mill and hid them behind
a lasge tree. Then Jimmy uttered
an exclamation of annoyance.
"Darn!" he said. "We both forgot flashlights. We'll have a fine
time tying the dummy up, because
it will be as dark as your hat in
there."
"Push your bike up to the door."
Buzz suggested, "and shine your
hoadlifiht in. Then I can see lo tie
the rope lo the neck of the dummy."
Jimmy ran to get his bike. Buzz
found the dummy and dragged It
into the mill. In a moment he had
fastened the rope, and the grotesque figure swung above the
floor. Buzz retreated to Jimmy's
side, and they surveyed the dang-

Mother's Christmas
If yours is one of those families that have
a big Christmas celebration ln their own home,
with a tree and a big dinner, it means an awful
lot of work for some member of the family,
usually Mother. She has been working hard
for several days before, making preparations.
She probably stays up late on Christmas Eve,
trimming the tree. And then all Christmas
morning, she labors in the kitchen, getting
that huge and wonderful Christmas dinner.
As a result of all this, when Christmas
night comes she is often pretty tired. Christmas
hasn't meant much for her but work.
Of course, she loves to do it for you and the rest of the family, but
she deserves some appreciation, and some help.
You can give her both. You can let her know how much you
like the turkey. You can find time, to help her with the dinner,
or the dishes, ln other words, you can do a lot of things that will
make her Christmas a lot "merrier."
And it will make your Christmas just that much happier, too.
And that's what we wish you—a really Happy Christmas.

CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS
Christmas is the time to decorate .
and here are ways and means to
make the job interesting and unusual!
If you're near the woods, get a
small birch log to fit your table for
the centrepiece. Bore holes in it
here and there and fill them with
pine branches, holly, mountain ash
berry clusters, etc. Use birch bark
place cards with this table decoration.
When you use a Christmas tree on
your table, "plant" small pine branches full of cones in tiny flower pots
and set one at each place with the
guest's name lettered on it. If you're
using snow and can't get the artificial kind, melt some sugar in water and spread it on the branches—
! Its just as effective.
And if you're tired of evergreens,
try making your Christmas tree of
boxes this year! With a family group
this is a fine idea. Get a number
of various sized boxes, plenty of metallic wrapping paper, and cellophane. Put the gifts in the boxes, \
wrap them artistically and colorfully, then pile them roughly in the
shape of a tree with a small one on
top to which is fastened a glistening
star. You can twine your Christmas tree lights among the boxes for
added effect.
And don't forget strings of whits
popcorn with fat red cranberries
between, when you're decorating
Ihe tree, pine cones dipped In gold
end silver bronze liquid are very
effective too, while cornucopias o!
candies and nuts add Just the right
finishing touch.

Dynamiters Take Measure of the
Coleman Canadians by 7-3 Score
• Lethbridge won the game, but
Nelson Maple Leafs gave them an
■ almighty jolt in the first meeting of
■ these two teams in the new oKote-
I nay Hockey league setup. The score
- was 2-1. It was the first win in
[ three West Kootenay starts for the
^leaders of the eastern division.
I It was a ding-dong affair, full of
'.action  all  the  way  through  and
packed with thrills. The boys didn't
j hesitate to hand out tough body
checks, and there was an occasional high stick, but despite that and
the  high  tension  there  wasn't  a
., penalty throughout 60 minutes of
fast hockey.
Nelson's 1-0 lead on a Johnny
Smith-Jim McPhee goal in the second period looked good until a
quarter of the way through the third,
■when Lethbridge b^gan to break
through more effectively. A disallowed goal broke the ice for the
visilors, and goals by Stewart and
Christensen tucked il away.
,    It was a good game to win, and a
. tough one to lose.
Waiman started Onyfrechuk and
Cormier, with Kirkpatrick, Mclndoe
;. and Ursaki on the forward line.
Opposing them were Johnny Smith.
Euerby ond McPhee, and Bicknell
and Atwell on defence.
lt was up and down for the first
five minutes, with play mostly between the blue lines, until with
the change of lines Nick Smith got
in a hot shot on Young and the Nelson forward line piled in to give
the Leaf goalie a really hot time.
Anderson of Leafs' second string
battled through for the first test of
McKay. Stewart repeated on the
next rush on Anderson's pass. McKay stopped Stewart again and then
a third t*me. Young had another
taste of action under a Kirkpatrick-
Smith-Carr drive to the net.
Four Lethbridge men moved in
to retaliate, losing the puck in the
scramble. Young came out with McPhee and J. Smith in behind his
defence, but Smith's snap shot was
wide. ,
Young came clear out to upset
Carr as the Nelson wing got ia behind with only the goalie to beat,
and Leafs piled thrill on thrill with
Anderson going in to test McKay
similarly. Both teams were playing
much tighter defence. Lethbridge
cleared up the ice to break up the
pressure.
Young again came through when
Carr twice got in through the Lethbridge defence, once bodying the
Nelson wing.
Opening of the second stanza was
slower, with Lethbridge penetrating
to better effect. Kaleta's shot from
Stewart'l pass was close, McKay
kicking it across the goal mouth
behind him after taking the puck on
the pads. Kirkpatrick made a save
lor Young as Nick Smith's shot hit
his stick.
The game began to hit Its pace
when McPhee broke away and
passed through the Lethbridge
defence for Johnny Smith to go
In, draw Young, and backhand
the biscuit Into the centre of the
net. The visitors' first string started to put on the heat then and
McKay made a brace of saves. The
boys also began to hand out the
body checks a little heavier.
Fighting to break through, Lethbridge sent four men up to the
Nelson zone to make it tough for the
home defence, with occasional
breaks livening it up for the local
fans. Kirkpa.rl_k got through to
give McKay the opportunity for a
fine save. When four men failed to
break it up five moved in. Nelson
shot up the ice to clear.
Kilpatrick, ■ Carr and Nick Smith
bad Young in trouble Until his defence covered him near the end-
Nelson kept on the heat at the
start of the third, taking a lot in
the way of bodying and high sticksj
and Young was on the spot on two
rushes before his team males had
settled down. Stewart led another
attack on which Christensen tested
McKay, then Carr gave Young a
chance to do the splits. Lethbridge
came right back and found the net
in a scramble that gave rise to a
great game of "argufying." The goal
I was disallowed, Lethbridge having
man in the creche when it was
scored.
Stewart worked in to test McKay, and then drove down on another similar rush to catch the light.
This one was argued loo, but it was
a goal. Onyfrechuk's rush and a
scramble in the goal mouth gave
Christensen his goal and Lethbridge
the lead. And the prairie boys, with
10 minutes to go, settled down to
hold it. Nelson attacks met five men
at the blue line almost every time.
Breaks by Stewart and Mclndoe
were dangerous. Nelson started four
and five man rushes in a fight to
make up the deficit, but that five
man defence was too tight. When

GOOD FELLOWS
AT HEART
Wonder how Trail will make out
with "Rossland on Christmas Day?
It should be a great tussle, though
the Rossland miners will be handicapped without the services of Stan
Smith, who is going home to Fernie for Christmas, but though Stan
is undoubtedly one of the most
valuable players the Miners have,
still you may rest assured that
Coach Morin will have a strong lineup out there.
The intermediate playoffs will be
staged at Vernon this year, hi their
new $5O$O0 arena. Although there
are all kinds of players in both
Trail and Rossland who are anxious
to play hockey, and from whom a
strong intermediate team could be
built, little hope is entertained of
an entry from this district unless Mr.
Albo of Rossland, who has other
years sponsored a team, breaks out
of his seclusion, or some other enterprising group or individual steps
forward. I am sure that those who
are anxious to play and not quite
good enough to catch on with the
Miners or Smoke Eaters would pay
part of their expenses or find other
ways of financing the team.
The 6-4 defeat of the Lethbridge
Maple Leafs at the hands of the
Trail Smoke Eaters substantiates
my belief that the Rossland victory
was won on fair grounds, and not
on the "sardines in a can" excuse
that Duke Waiman, the Lethbridge
coach, would have the fans believe.
Only four of the, Rossland Miners
had previous game experience on
Rossland ice- Lethbridge might have
had what the critics would call
bigger names, but Rossland had a
better defence than Duke Waiman's
outfit, and the forwards were four
goals to one better. Considering the
number of exhibition games and the
experience of playing together that
the Lethbridge club had before
meeting Rossland, I believe credit
is due, rather than an excuse for the
defeat. No, Hockey Fans, that win
and the previous one were not accomplished by mere chance.
As this column will not appear
again until after the Christmas holiday, I wish you a Merry Christmas.
High School Drops
Stiff Hoop Battle
to Old Crocks 23-19
Nelson High school basketballers,
although turning in their best performance of the season, were unable
to hold down the league-leading
Old Crocks in a senior battle Monday night- The final count was 23-19.
Pacing lhe victors Jim Cherrington rang the bell for on even dozen
points. George Russell and Jim Allan led the school boys with six
points apiece. \
Teams and scorers were:
Old Crocks — Jim Cherrington.
12; George Wallach, 5; Jack Clements, 4; Alex Ioanin, 2; Bob Patterson.
High school — George Russell, 6;
Jim Allan, 6; Duffy Stewart. 3; Ken
McBride, 4; tlob Crerar, Howard
Campbell, Nick Apostoliuk, Bob
Morris and Frank Raukuc.
Picking'up only one point out of
a possible six in three league games
has by no means made-tbe Dynamiter camp downhearted. The boys
realize that it's quite a-handicap to
overcome' this lead they have spotted Lethbridge and Trail, but they
figure to make It up, Thoy realize
that" competition Is going, to be
tough alt tha way, but ths old spirit is good, and we all'know the
ability is there, so don't thiol, the
Champs are down and put Monday
night Achtzener had the 'boys out
and put them through their paces
in no uncertain manner, A month
late start on teams such as the
Leafs and Smoke Eaters is no joke
and the club is working hard to
make up for that period ot titna.
Their condition is improving all the
time and their timing is the main
fault at this moment, but that will
sqon adjust itself. We have never
seen so many chances missed by split
seconds as we did '" the game with
Lethbridge on Saturday night—all
a matter of timing.
POST MORTEM
Just a short resume of Saturday's
game. This bunch of boys representing Lethbridge are one sweet
outfit. They back check from tho
drop of the hat, and break very very
fast. This Kirkpatrick-Mclndoe-Ur-
saki line is one of the nicest combinations we have ever seen in action on Kimberley ice since the
arena was built. If they click as well
in the West Kootenay as they did
over here Saturday night, fans in
that district are in for fine entertainment. Tiie defence is also very
good, and the three boys who took
care of lhat position on Saturday
were just'as good in their offensive work as in their defensive duties. Young, the goalie, is also high
class.
The Kimberley team, for more
than halt the game looked far from
the Dynamiters of old. The other
hnlf of the game they were ace high,
Swede Hornquist was beaten seven
times, but could hardly he blamed
for any of them. .Johnny Pratt on
defence played a bang-up game and
was most valuable. Burnett and
Brown rounded out the defence,
ond worked hard, but are not as yet
right up to form. Tom Almack was
not used, but in practice is going
great guns.
The famous "kid" line of the
Dynamiters finds Red Goble on the
wing that used to belong to Ken
Moore. Most of the topic of conversation in the gloomy aftermath
centred around this line. We refuse to be drawn into any argument. You folks can Judge for yourselves when you see the team. On
the second line Achtzener used Cria
Soreson flanked by - Wilson and
Kemp. Ness and Barlbeau were not
in uniforms.
We believe this season's team will,
in time, come up to standards set by
Dynamiters' of the past Jew seasons. Don't take them too lightly,
because they have been licked twice
by the boys from the prairie. _
CALLED THEM CLOSE
And now a few compliments to
the referees, a feature not often
heard of. Kimberley Dynamiters
took eight penalties to their opponents' three. The officials in
charge were Reddick of Kimberley
and Viney of Lethbridge, and they
did a swell job. They called them
very close, but very impartially,
and kept the game in check all the
way. When the old thumb went up
to signal one of the boys to the cooler, it was a deserved rest.
The Kimberley Arena was Jammed
to the rafters for this first senior
game in two winters, and the customers sure got their money's worth.

You may have missed it, but this
is worth a whole page in the record

its final drive against Trail the boys
scored three goals in. two and a
half minutes ... eight points in that

Three members of the Lethbridge
Leafs, Jim Mclndoe, Bob Kirkpatrick and Johnny, Ursaki, bet two

Lethbridge first string, themselves,

knotted his brows as to whether a
goalie was committing a breach of
the rule that calls for a faceoff after
clearing the puck down the ice....
In one game a goalie made several
such clearances.... F. W. Edwards,
sports commentator, could find
nothing in the rule book, nor'any

Dick Matthews of the Lethbridge
Herald is quite gleeful over the suggestion of Jack Kelly, sports ed of
the Edmonton Bulletin, that the
new year might bring a shakeup in
Alberta hockey, with Lethbridge
and Coleman being invited to play
in their own. back yards by realignment of of the Alberta Senior
Six to form northern and southern
division. , . .
Matthews adds:
"Lethbridge and Coleman officials
are still seething at the manner in
which they were cold-shouldered
when they applied for admittance
to the Senior Six. . . .
"Just what hockey fans In the
central and northern part of the
Si-ovince think of their league has
een indicated in no uncertain
manner in the box office receipts.
Lowest gate at an exhibition game
in Lethbridge is better by several
hundred than the best gates at
league games played in Edmonton
or Calgary. . . •
NO COMPARISON
IN CALIBRE
"There is no comparison in the
calibre of hockey played in the
two leagues, and Lethbridge promoters and fans know it. With
drawing cards like Kimberley
Dynamiters, Trail Smoke Eaters
and Coleman Canadians included
in the circuit, what kind of chumps
would wc be to desert the Kootenay
league to play against teams in the
Senior Six?
"As for tlie statement 'Lethbridge
and Coleman are in the Kootenay
circuit for the first half of the
season only and may withdraw
then', somebody has been pulling
Friend Jack's leg. The schedule for
the entire season has been drafted
and Lethbridge and Coleman will
be in there to the end.
"Question of receipts to the B.C.
arid Alberta hockey associations is
also more or less beside the point-
It is up to the two associations to
come to some kind of an agreement
in this regard.   The A.A.H.A. exe
cutive can't order teams in and out
of leagues just to suit their own
financial. ends.
"We don't forget.".

Connie Mack, the "grand old gentleman" of baseball, celebrates his 75th

So happy were Rossland Miners

There's a reason, and a good one.
After Rossland was, defeated 10-1
by Trail in their first game of the

chances of picking off wins were
mighty slim. It it different now. For

Despite results to date, many ]ust
won't believe whit hat happened.
They are looking for excuses for
Kimberley on every hand. Some argued black and blue that Lethbridge

along." Some said Kimberley and
Coleman had a bad start, only having a practice game before entering
the Wett Kootenay loot).
Perhaps so, we tty, but Rossland
didn't go to prep school either.
Miners were badly broken when
they lost four of their met. to Gonzaga university'. Spokane. Wouldn't
these boys feel a bit upset if Rossland won the league championship';
You say that is impossible? Humph,
after that game at Hossland Monday
night nothing's Impossible in the

We can't help thinking about
Morln's predictions since lie has
been in the Kootenays. Practically every one he has made has
turned out accordingly. He didn't
predict on every turn, and the law
of averages didn't help him, but
he has given his opinion of the
outcome from .time to time, and a
high percentage of them have been
true.
Morin, after being defeated 10-1
by Trail and then beating Nelson,
wt» mighty proud of the crew he
produced in that second battle. He
had reason to be, for they have
beaten the eastern division champions. Morin taid Smoke Eaters
wouldn't beat him by five goals as
they had Nelson, and from what hit
team has just done, we shouldn't
think so either.
* '» -.
Lethbridge it supposed to have a
hunch of expert and seasoned players. But Miners consist of many juniors playing their first season in
senior company. And many of those
juniors made Lethbridge look
woozy. Smith, Cowland and LaCree
are three of those juniors, anil their
stick handling baffled the boys in
the dark uniforms. Maurice Williams is playing his first season Of
senior hockey. Apparently the Min-
ers have confidence in him, and that
means a whole lot

The Kellogg-Briand pact, in which,
59 nations joined to renounce war as
an instrument of national policy, was
the highlight of Frank B. Kellogg's
career, a line of achievement which
took him from a pioneer Minnesota farm through the mutations of
law and politics to sucessive reputations as a corporation lawyer, "trust
buster," United States senator, ambassador to Great Britain, secretary
of state and, finally, Judge of the
permanent court of international
Justice at The Hague. Mr. Kellogg
died Tuesday,
When Kellogg tendered his resignation from the international tribunal on September 9,1935, he wrote
"finis" to public activities which embraced a stretch of 57 years.
Kellogg, and Aristide Brland,
"France's apostle of peace," whose
names were joined in the anti-war
pact, each gave the other credit for
originating the idea. It grew from
a 1927 Easter message of good will
issued by Briand through The Associated Press to the American people in which he proposed that America and France forever renounce war
upon each other.

FROM SENATE
TO CABINET
In 1916 he turned to politics, ran
for the United States senatorship and
was elected, serving the 1917-23
term. The farmer-labor landslide of
1922 in Minnesota defeated him as a
candidate for reelection. He went
back to law practice for a year, then
in 1924 was appointed by President
Coolidge as ambassador to the court
of St. James's. He remained in London a year, representing the United
States at a conference on Dawes
plan procedure in August, 1924, and
being credited with breaking a deadlock which threatened to stymie
that scheme for collecting and distributing war reparations from Germany.
He was made secretary of state
when Charles Evans Hughes, after
serving in the Harding-Cooli^e
cabinet, decided to resume private
law practice when Coolidges own
administration took office March 4,
1925. Kellogg's flair tor diplomacy
had lull play in the four years ho
held the cabinet post. In addition

guided negotiations that resulted In
more than 80 International ■ agreements, many of them providing for
arbitration, conciliation and other
peaceful means of settling disputes
between nations.
Kellogg, slight, stoop-shouldered
and in his 73rd year, was about ready
to call "quits" with active life when
he finished his four years as secretary of state. But a year and a half
later Hughes, appointed chief justice
of the United States, resigned his
place on the bench of the world
court and the League ot Nations,
in September, 1930, chose Kellogg as
his successor. One of his outstanding;
findings as an international jurist
was a dissenting opinion when the
court ruled against a proposed customs union between Germany and
Austria. Kellogg held the plan entirely legal, discarding the idea that
it contravened the German territorial limitation clauses of the treaty
of Versailles,
Kellogg was a bachelor until his
fortieth year. In 1896 he married

Washington, was hauled out of obscurity the tollowlng Christmas-tide
at the behest of President Coolidge
when Jane Addams, Chicago's
world-famous social worker, called
it to his attention.
It was translated at first into a
Franco- American agreement for
perpetual friendship, then blossomed into a world-wide idea, was publicized and pushed in various capitals until finally there was a rush
to join in the declaration. With Kellogg wielding the first pen and
Briand the second, the pact was
signed formally by 15 nations at
Paris on August 27,1928. Later more
than two score other governments
gave formal notification of their acceptance of the terms.
The treaty brought world-wide acclaim to the joint authors and award
of the 1929 Nobel peace to Kellogg.
But it didn't halt war, nor did it
check aggression, China, the United States, Great Britain and other
powers cited it in vain when Japan
carved Manchoukuo out of northeast
China in 1931, and Ethiopia, without
effect, called attention to the fact
that both she and Italy were signatories when the latter invaded the
African monarchy in 1935. Critics of
the treaty always said that it was
futile because it "lacked teeth".
POLITICS BY A FIRM
Frank Billings Kellogg was born
In Potsdam, N. Y., December 22,
1856, the son of Asa Farnsworth and
Abigail Billings Kellogg. When he
was 9, the family migrated to Minnesota and with only rural schooling
as a foundation, he started to study
law at the age ot 19 in the office of
a Rochester attorney, who paid him
for combination clerical and janitor
work by guiding his studies.
In 1877 Kellogg was admitted to
the bar. The next year he was elected city attorney of Rochester. In
1880 he formed a partnership with
Burt W. Eaton, but clients were few
and the firm went into politics. The
two ran tor the office of district
attorney in 1881, Kellogg as a Republican and Eaton as a Democrat,
because the salary of $800 a year
was needed tor the firm. Kellogg

On October 1, 1887, he moved to
St Paul, forming Davis, Kellogg and
Severance in partnership with Cush-
man K. Davis, then United States
senator, and Cordenio A. Severance.
When Davis died in 1900, Kellogg
became senior partner.
They achieved a reputation as
corporation lawyers, yet Kellogg was
picked by President Theodore Roosevelt for some of his administrations
most famous "trust busting". The
first case was against the Western
Paper company, commonly called
the "western paper trust". Kellogg,
as special counsel for the government, won a decree of dissolution
against the corporation at St. Paul
in June, 1906.
Then he was picked for similar
work against the Standard Oil company. This case came to a head before the United States circuit court
of appeals at St. Louis on November 15, 1906, and again Kellogg won
a decision that the nation-wide corporation then existing was acting in
restraint of trade. Its dissolution into
companies chartered in New Jersey,
Kentucky, Indiana a.,d California
followed.
In 1907 Kellogg ferreted out the
methods of high finance which Edward H. Harrriman. head of the
Union Pacific and allied lines, used
in putting over a deal for the Chicago and Alton railway. This work
eventuated in dissolution of the Union Pacific-Southern Pacific merger.
Kellogg also had a hand in anti-trust ■ *.—
