THE OL' CHRISTMAS spirit, that happy state where fancy bops reason over the head, can be generated from practically nothing. Want proof? Let's begin with a Christmas tree lot. Two guys are running it. They should be happy, right? Christmas is around the corner, they're working out in“the open, the air is brisk and sharp and people are friendly, most of the time. Besides that, these two men have their wives helping them, the project is charitable and there is lots of mistletoe, holly and gay decorations about. But do you think they're singing Christmas carols or roasting chestnuts? No. Three other men join the two around the fire. How's it goin’? Not bad, could be better. Yeh. Cold out. Snow would help sales. “Sure would. Hands remain outstretched over the ofl drum of glowing coke five minutes at a time. And they stand, chins drooping lower and lower. Then along comes a young man with a song on his lips, a bit of fire in his eye and a sprig of holly in his hat. He sees beauty potential in the naked trees. His heart pounds as a thought pops into his mind. An 18-foot tree such as stands. in front, near the street, should be decorated.

LADS, MERRY MEN, gents, let's give a hand here, what do you say? There is no fire that will

“What we make from the trees will go to the fund for paying for the football field and part of it will go to the CYO,” added Mr. Lindop. LR | “All well and good, but what about the tree?” Questions, trifling questions, came up. Would] they dare? Booster Club President Mr. Conaton| sald yes. Treasurer Roney wasn't so positive, Mr.| and Mrs. Lindop, Mr. and Mrs. Longest and Benny| Minton thought it would be great fun, { Action came swiftly when all agreed the stranger-had kindled a fire of the season. Expense should be kept at a minimum, stressed Mr. Roney. The stranger reminded the purse holder that Christmas didn’t have it's origin in a bank. » Mr. Minton ran across the street to Victory Field for ladders. Mr. Lindop went after outdoor lights. Mr, Roney was ordered not to return until | he had bought 300 candy eanes. Mr. Conaton said | he would buzz to the Polk Milk Co. and Maplehurst Jersey Farms and see several friends who know about the bright foil that is used to cap the| milk bottles. ‘The stranger went to the fire and] warmed his hands. | One by one the men returhed.

stretched across the lot. Split in half, no one in| the world would know that milk bottle caps had| been made from the foil. |

He jingled coins in his pocket. Then he asked, “Do you think 300 candy canes will be enough?” Say what you will about the season, I still think it's wonderful. Look what happened in the Christmas tree lot across from Victory Field.

You can yell your head off at the banks though and nothing comes of it because they are all gunshy and they will lend you all the dough you need if you got 100 per cent security by which I mean if you got 100 bucks they may lend you 98. Used to be you could walk in the door with an idea and come out with dough but now they want a lien on the star's brassiere before they even start to talk interest.

THERE WAS A time out here when the studio kept a stable of people on salary but now they've got hour-to-hour contracts with options on the half-hour and it makes a guy nervous. Used to be a man signed a seven-year contract and relaxed between pictures because even if they stunk they had to keep sending the money every Friday and the law of averages was with you. Things ain't tough enough with the banks but now you got to be daring all the time and you run out of things to be daring about. We got daring with races and religions and unwed mothers and politics already and now we have run out of anti-Semitism and anti-Negroism and we got six shows on the lot with illegitimate kids in "em and what I want to know is what else is there left to be daring about?

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14—Back to the old grind. Coffee, that is, The brew is getting muddier by the minute. And about all I can report from the Senate's wonderment over the big java mystery is that the price of coffee is likely to skid. This may cause a loss of millions to the unknown gentlemen who speculated on the way up last month on the theory that coffee was going to , a dollar a pound. Let's waste no sympathy on them. As for the frightened ladies who bought coffee by the case, they're out of luck. They may ds well drink the stuff to quiet their nerves, because they were had. All is confusion, otherwise, in the investigation of Sen. Guy M. Gillette (D. Iowa) into the coffee squeeze. Nobody's happy, except possibly the purveyors of tea. They have been bombarding the Senator, he said, with telegrams indicating that the coffee hocus-pocus maybe is a blessing in disguise and that now is the time for Americans to discover the inexpensive delights of oolong properly brewed.

All the Figures Differ

EVERYBODY who testified about eoffee had a different sheaf of statistics, Some claimed that too much rain in Guatemala and not enough in Brazil was causing a short crop. Others said nothing of the kind. It was enough to make a Senator take his coffee black. All this abacadabra so exasperated Paul HadHck, the Agriculture Committee's chief counsel, that he finally blurted: “Well, suppose you use your crystal ball and tell me whether there is a shortage of coffee.” W. F. Williamson, manager of the National

Coffee Association of New York, gulped. What--

ever he sald was going to be held against him. And I quote exactly what he did say: “I think there is no shortage of coffee, nor is there likely to be one.” You should have seen the representatives of the press associations leap out of Room 327, skid down the marble halls to their telegraph wires,
