SANTA IS BUSY TRYING TO PICK LETTERWINNER Spends Every Spare Moment at Task; Says They Are All Worth Prizes. Here is another story bv Holly Berry special Times correspondent accompanying The Times Polar expedition which found the home of Santa Claus and obtained pictures of Santa which are now hooef movie? * n IndlanapoUs nelghborBT HOLLY BERRY NORTH POLEVILLE, Eskimoland, Dec. B.—(By Radio)—Santa Claus spent his every spare moment today reading the letters which children readers of The Indianapolis Times wrote on the subject, “Why I Like Santa Claus.” Unless the Christmas rush becomes too pressing I am sure he will be able to have the winners picked before long. Santa seems considerably worried over -the fact that not every boy and girl who wrote a letter can win a prize. He is so good-hearted, you know, that it pains him to have to think of the disappointment it may cause some children who do not win. Santa found something to chuckle over in almost every letter he read today. It was easy to see that he was tremendously pleased with the letters the children have written. Toys Ready for Paint While he was busily engaged reading, the rest of our payty spent the time in various ways waiting for the best possible weather: to come before we start the ldng trip over the' ice floes homeward bound! I took a final look at his toy factory today and found things much further along than when I told you of our first visit there a week ago. Practically all the toys are now waiting for their final coat of paint or their final touch before being distributed to the boys and girls of the world. The stock of toys, dolls, candy and other things to make the hearts of children glad, which Santa keeps stored in his enormous store rooms, have grown tremendously and soon they will be filled ready for Santa’s round-the-world ride! New Names In Book I found these names, among others that I will send later, in Santa’s library today; they are in the books in which Santa keeps the name and record of every boy and girl in the world.

Dime? Fine! JERSEY CITY, N. J., Dec. 8. —Because he had waited four weeks in jail before his trial was called, Louis Totar was fined ten cents for possessing liquor. This is not the smallest liquor fine, however. Two years ago Federal Judge Lynch fined a man five cents and, when the prisoner couldn’t produce it, the judge paid the fine himself.
