Pix-year-old was shopping with her mother. ■‘Ooh-h-h! Aren’t you all excited and anxious tor Santa Claus to come?” cooed the salesgirl with one of those bright, patronizing looks which adults wear when they address children. ' Yes, ma'am.” piped Betty, politely. Then, turning, she directed toward her mother a slow, knowing wink, designed to help preserve the Illusion.' of an ignorant grown-up. As one looks around, the opinion strengthens that the effort to keep, old Santa alive is gallant but futile, j Urban center- are breeding places for childish doubts. The country Is j r s ally the only place where Santa; r s -t ins a < mblance of 1.. old real- ' ity, or v here infants can imagine j his coming with bells and packs and ! reindeer. Santa needs lots of elbow 1 room. I have almo.-t per uaded myself ' that we do not celebrate Christmas j for the children any more, but for j our five:. Some of u do it to make j money; some to recapture lost j childish dreams; some to gild the j drab prcvnt with the past’s shining i gold. At any rate the modern child Is | growing more skeptical about the whole thing, well he may. He lives in a different world from that his parent knew when they were ; young, ai.d unhappily the dear old Christmas aint does not fit so w r ell into the scene. The city child sees j a different Santa Claus on every corner. I'm not hinting, a you may sup- j pose, that Christmas be abolished,) for a dreadful irreparable loss that | would be for all of us.

THE mountain beaver does not live in water, but is never happy far from it. Through the summer months it prefers to forage for green crop*, but when winter comes, the clever little animal stores up hay for the months when snow will cover the ground outside its den.

MARTIN INSULL TRIAL DRAWS NEAR CLOSE Defendant Tells of Rise From Day Laborer to Capitalist. , By L’iiit'4 !‘rrt CHICAGO. Dec. 20.—Testimony in the trial of Martin Insull, former millionaire brother of Samuel Insull, and his collaborator in building the fallen Insull utilities structure, drew to a close today with defense lawyers basing their hopes on another success story of the type made famous by Horatio Alger. Insull himself told in the closing hours of yesterday's session in Criminal Court of his rise from a position as day laborer on utilities construction jobs to his place in the boom days of Middle West Utilities Cos. and minor concerns of the Insull system. He denied, with a vigor like that of his brother in similar circumstances, that he took anything from his stockholders. 1374 ON HONOR ROLL Five Tech Students Get Straight A-plus Records.

TARZAN AND THE CITY OF GOLD

Tarzan was taken to the prison and thrust into the cell with Gemnon and Thudos. “Greetings!” exclaimed the new’ prisoner cheerily when the guards were out of earshot. “What brings you here?” Gemnon asked. “Twenty warriors and the whim of a w r oman—an insane woman.

“And yet you joke!” Thudos nodded. "I tell you there is no room for jokes or optimism in the dungeon of Nemone.” “Perhaps not,” Tarzan agreed, “but I shall continue to hope. Doubtless Doria felt helpless last night in her temple prison, yet I’ll tell you hew she escaped death!”
