At the very time when most

and the country stands in a
new relationship to interna-
f tional industry and finance.

widest sense. The prospect is

is such a thing as too much

more to he said on tills subject,
it tills were the place to say It;
even superstition bas Its uses, and
sometimes Its sound heart of truth.
(Ho who does not see In the legend
ot Santa Claus a beautiful faith on
one side and the naive embodiment
of a divine fact on tho other is
not fit lo have a place at the
Christmas board. For him thero
should be neither carol, nor holly,
nor mistletoe; they only shall keep
the feast to whom all these things
nre but the outward and visible
slgtiB of an Inward and spiritual
grncc.
Santa Claus is nn institli-'
tion nml we have no more
idea of depriving tho world
of hint than lmd the author of
that classic editorial from the
New York Sun, which is re-
printed about this time of
year in ninny publications.
Neither would we utter n
line against the Christmas
tree, also sacred from long as-
sociation with the season and
from fh<> literary memories at-
tached to it, The Christmas
tree is fully as ancient ns the
other, coming in fact from
the Druids.
But as Santa Claus’ wliisk
ers art1 liable to ignite and the
Christmas tree, being some-
times inflammable in itself ant'
very often dangerous on ac-
count of its decorations, care
must lie exercised to proven
destruction anti panic.
A fire in a private bouse or
in a hall or church would turn
the day into one of mourning.
Accidents id such limes are
especially distressing. If San-
ta Claus cannot secure asbes-
tos for his mask, lie should be
all he more careful of the
candles on (he Christmas tree,
ll would ho hotter to use elec-
tric bulbs wherever possible.
UNPREPAREDNESS—A
LESSON FROM HIS-
TORY.
In 1H12 when the United
States went to war with Eng-
land a second lime the popu-
lation of lliis country was 7
millions. The regular army at
the outbreak consisted of about
seven thousand men and dur-
ing the war was increased to
about .‘17,000. The British had
in Canada less Hum five thou-
Hand regular troops mul at
no lime during the war did
they put more than seven-
teen thousand men in the
field
Movlo cartoons alwuys prove In-
teresting, laughuble and In addition
set the audience's imagination to
wondering juBt how they are made
and how long the process requires.
Ask u movie artist and he'll insist
the cartoons aren't laughing matter.
After tlie artist has hit upon his
Idea and explained It to the direc-
tors, the latter take him to a little
room and scat him at a table where
he Is told to draw. There a motion
picture camera hangs heavy over his
head. There are, the urtist. is told,
sixteen inches to every foot of film.
Every Inch will portray a part of
tho movement all in one. swoop. For
Instance, when the character raises
his hand to his head the urtist
could not draw that movement all in
one swoop. He draws It little by
little I lie camera man turns the
crunk. Consequently, the motion the
audience sees on the screen might
take anywhere from four to eight
movements to draw. When there is
fall, like u man falling over a
cliff, a number of movements must
be drawn depleting the degrees of
the fall. Tho man must go down,
down, down, growing larger or
smaller, as the case requires. When
a bird Is shown flying, at least fifty
pictures must be made to show the
flapping of the wings. In real life,
a person wouldn’t think much of a
smile that the "smller” required
five or six or even ten minutes to
complete. But In reel life that Is
the only kind of a smile that Is a
smile. So the little five hundred
feet of film an audience sees in ten
minutes most any night at the pic-
ture theaters took the artist just
ten days to draw.

SWIFT CRUISERS OUR NEED.

six formidable cruisers,' carrying
guns with a range of thbse of the
biggest battle ships at sea or under

any enemy fleet—will be added to
the American navy by 1922, if con-
gress approves that feature of the
naval program laid before it by the
secretary of the navy and the naval
war college.
The battle cruiser division, to fur-
nish eyes to the battleship divisions,
the main fighting force of the fleet,
will have a test speed of. thirty-five
allots and an actual speed somewhat
apove that. They will he beyond
