ELKS ENTERTAIN FOUR THOUSAND KIDSJLT PARTY Dressed In their Sunday best, more than fonr thousand youngsters, the guests of the Elks’ annual Christmas party, marched into the Circle Theater shortly after 9 o’clock today. The “Sunday best,” In many cases, were tattered and had seen better days. Rome did not have overcoats, tfut everybody was happy because they were to see Jackie Coogan, in “My Boy.” Christmas trr.es, decorated especially for the children, were in the lobby, on the stage and everywhere. Trucks, loaded with "goodies, toys ’neverything” were distributed among the kiddies. The old and the young of Indianapoli’s needy, entered the theater and celebrated the one holiday of the year which la especially for the "kids.” There were drums, balls, and trains for the boys and dolls and doll clothes for the girls and candy for all. Promptly at 9 o’clock the children began arriving In automobiles, donated especially for raking the guests to the theater and street cars, donated by the Indianapolis Street Railway Company. Chief of Police Kinney was present with more than a score of policemen, to keep the youngsters from being crushed in the rush of getting seated. Thera were not enough seats for all. Some stood In the aisle, some in the lobby and some sat two in a seat. The children were of all slzcb and ages, ranging from three months to 20 years, and the older folks who came with them were sent in to enjoy the show with the children. “I’m cold. Gee. bnt I wish I had an overcoat,” said one yonngster while he was standing outside waiting to be admitted. IVhen asked where his overcoat was he said. “I never had one." The Christmas party this year was mneh larger than the one which was given by the Elks last year. MANY WOMEN USE GLYCERINE MIXTURE There is nothing better for stomach trouble in women than buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in Ad-ler-ika. One lady says: “It is doing ine lots of good. My sisters also say it is wonderful.” Adler-t-ka removes foul matter from BOTn upper and lower towel which may have been poisoning stomach for months. EXCELLENT for gas on stomach and chronic constipation. Guards against appendicitis. Brings out matter 7oa never thought was In your system. H T Huder. —Advertisement

The only damage at the Morris residence was a burnt lace curtain, which caught fire when a candle, setting on a table near a window, was overturned.

SNOW IS ONLY THING LACKING IN CHRISTMAS (Continued From Page One.) thing to find a man who has come to middle age and who has settled Into a rut. A rut, you know, has been defined ns ‘a grave which is only longer at both ends.’ WISE MEN WORSHIP JESUS. “When these three wise men came to Jesus they worshipped Him. Some people sit so close that they touch Him In service but they have not worshipped Him. It is not where you worship, but how- you worship.” A special program of Christmas music was given the choir. Mrs. Glen O. Friermood sang a contralto solo, “Siug, O Heavens.” “Throughout the ages man has been seeking after God,” Rev. C. 11. Rosen, pastor of the Woodslde M. E. Church, told his congregation yesterday morning. “From the beginning of time, there has been a search for God.” he said. “There is no religion which does not have the hope in it that some kind of God will visit its followers." Development of the spiritual side of man ns well as his physieial stile was advocated by the Rev. Ernest N. Evans, pastor of the Second Reformed Churcn, Alabama and Merrill streets, in his morning sermon on “The Modern Christmas Christ.” URGES CULTIVATION OF HIGHER LIFE. “How do we strengthen Jesus Christ in our lives today?'' he asked. “We can do It by going to the 7 Bible, to the church, by silent thought and prayer. We must cultivate an appreciation for the higher life and we can do that keeping ourselves near Influences that are inspiring, by being with people who know r life, i ■ havi Chrl >t m r-'

definite and distinct in our lives we must live among our fellow men and be tested.” The Christmas entertainment of the church was given last night, including a special program of music and Christmas tree for the children. “The Christmas Gospel" was the title of the morning sermon delivered by the Rev. Virgil E. Itorer, pastor of the Meridian Street M. E. Church. “The Christmas gospel brings to us four great fundamental truths,” he declared. These four truths, he said, were that it brings the world’s greatest joy. it brings good news to the lowly and meek In life, good news Tot all the world and gives the story of the birth of Chris^ TELLS HOW JESUS ATTAINED CROWN. “Jesus reached Ilis crown by way of the cradle, the carpenter shop and the cross arid because He bore the cross He gained the crown,” the Rev. O. W. Fifer, pastor of the Central Aveneue M. E. t'huch told his congregation in his evening sermon on “The Crown.” “Other crowns of life may be taken away,” he said, “and other rulers may perish, hut the crown of lIUs authority and the kingdom of Ills glory will remain.” Bishop Frederick D. Leete of the Indiana area, delivered the morning sermon at the church. One of the best things Christmas should bring into every home and every heart should be a willingness to wipe out the bitterness of the past, the Rev. George S. Ilenntnger, pastor of the East Tenth Street M. E. Church, said in his sermon on “His Name Shall Be Called Wonderful.” SAYS KNOWLEDGE BRINGS COMFORT. “it is great comfort to know that Jesus came Into the world the most humble of men,” he said, "a man without influence or friends, without any great propaganda backing him in Ills ministry. He was not known in His life as a great lawyer,

; orator or physician, and yet, In all these I lines, he accomplished things that eanj not be equalled. He was not known as : a statesman, and yet all of our hopes of the success of the Washington, disarmament conference must be based upon that proposition of the Golden Rule of conduct.” COMPROMISE IS PREDICTED ON SUB FLEETS {Continued From Page One.) delegates sent to Paris and Tokio late .Saturday. These will be communicated to the conference tomorrow, if received. So far as the French and Japanese delegations in Washington are concerned, they are dead against acceptance of the American program as proposed, and they have so advised their respective delegations. It is recognized, however, that the opinions. held by the delegates themselves do not always prevail, as was proven in the case of the French capital ship program. In any event, the opinion prevailed in authoritative quarters today that the submarine controversy will certainly be cleared up by the end of the week. The Far East situation is giving the conference leaders more real concern than is the submarine question. A real deadlock exists in the Far East end of the conference. The private conversations between the Japanese and Chinese over the return of Shantung have been discontinued, and inside the conference itself there has been no formal discussion of Far Eastern matters for more than two weeks. FRANCE MAY ASK CONFERENCE PARIS, Dec. 26.—France may suggeit that the submarine tonnage problem be

The in formant added, however, that a possibj solution of the deadlock may be postpone ! ment of the question until another coij I ference, to be held later. | The supreme council on national de ' sense was summoned to meet at 9 o’cloc. tonight to consider the French attitud ■ toward submarine tonnage.
