TWO PROSPECTIVE PROBES MAY NAVE STARTLING ENDS Mosul Oil and Alien Property Investigations to Come Before Senate. D u United Prean WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.—Two new senatorial investigations, each of which may rival the oil inquiries of 1923-24, in sensational ramifications, were in prospect today as Congress started its Christmas recess. Both cases hinge on foreign affairs, one dealing with oil and one with alien property. The first lnquh’y, a resolution for which already has been adopted by the Senate, has to do with oil in Mosul, Asiatic Turkey, recognized by international relations experts as one of the “danger spots’’ of the old world. The inquiry, proposed by Senator King (Dem.), Utah, will deal with reports that American oil interests, seeking concessions in the rich Mosul fields, influenced negotiation of the Lausanne treaty restoring diplomatic relations with Turkey, and that the same oil interests, which Include the Standard Oil Company, are leading the campaign for ratification of the treaty, now pending in the Senate. The second prospective investigation will go into charges by Senator Borah (Rep,), Idaho, of “waste, theft and fraud’’ in the handling of $55,000.000 of alien property seized during the war. A resolution ordering this inquiry will be Introduced by Senator King soon after Congress meets Jan. 3, the United Press was informed, and indications age that it will he adopted.

(READ THE STORY, THEN COLOR THE PICTURE)

Out through the snow the Tinies stepped, bound for the barn where Santa kept his team of wondrous reindeers. Gee, they all could hardly wait. A smile spread o’er each little face, for when they finally reached the place, old Santa shouted, “Here we are!’’ Then opened up a gate. The barn was on a little mound, and when the sliding doors were found, the Tinymites all lent a hand and pushed them open wide. The sight they saw was quite a show. A lot of reindeers in a row. Os course it didn’t take them long to scamper right inside. “Now, all get busy," Santa said. “There’s harness for each reindeer’s head, and other bits that fit upon their bodies good and tight. We’ve got to hurry right along. Be careful, now don’t do it wrong. 'Tla better that you watch me first, so you can do it right.” Then Santa got some harness out. He knew the way, without a doubt, to hitch his frisky reindeers so that they could pull his sleigh. The reindeers stomped their little feet. The hitching process seemed a treat. Perhaps it thrilled them all to know they’d soon be on their way. The Tinies nearly had a fit till they could join, and help a bit. Then, as they worked together, 'course the work was shortly done. And pow the sleigh was fixed all right for Santa’s trip tomorrow night, and ever one agreed that they had had a lot of fun. “And now,” said Santa, “let’s all rest. I'll soon be heading east and west. My toys and things are packed up fine and nothing has gone Marriage Licenses Willie Beard, 28, 1023 W. Vermont, laborer: Adella Davis, 29, 1023 W. Vermont. John Waterman.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

MR. FIXIT Worries of a Bus Rider Are Narrated,

Let Mr. Fixit present your case to city officials. He is The Times' representative at the city hall. Write him at The Times. Running out of gasoline and oil, a trick of the neophyte motorist, also afflicts those whose profession is the driving of automobiles, it would appear from a letter Mr. Fixit received today. DEAR MR. FIXIT: I admit you have got results, but I believe I have one that will keep anyone awake at nights. I ride the English Ave. feeder bus three trips a day. Several nights ago the driver could not start the bus. He worked around for quite a time, called for another bus and waited for it at Keystone Ave. and English Aves. When it arrived, the mechanic discovered It was out of gas. Tatrons were delayed for nearly two hours. On Dec. 17, the bus was to make its 7:30 a. m. trip from Garfield to Keystone Ave. After waiting for uome time, it was discovered that the bus was stalled at English and Keystone The driver told me he burned out two bearings, because he was out of oil. The other day a bus was on this run the whole day without a reverse gear. I believe that every one of these recent failures are uncalled for; that
