Clergy May Become Practicing Physicians (Bv Associated Press) LONDON, Dec. 20. A controversy is on among the poorly paid section of clergymen who find themselves hard hit by the high cost Of living over a novel suggestion put forward by Dr. Robert Rentoul, a prominent Liverpool practitioner, that the clergymen could augment their incomes by acting as doctors as well as parsons. Dr. Rentoul advises young clergy men to study medicine, take their de-i gree and combine body-curing with soul-saving work. Many clergymen do not look with favor on the idea. They argue that they have plenty to do already and that local practitioners would bitterly resent competition from them. One wants to know where a poor curate is to raise the 250 necessary to qualify for a medical degree and others hold that "within a month the clericomedico's sermons would be thin, and thai the soul would suffer at the expense of the body."

RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND
XMAS TREES ARRIVE TO DELIGHT KIDDIES Stacks of Christmas trees have arrived in the city and are being placed in position for the buying public by merchants. From all indications the supply will be up to standard and dealers state that they, expect a larger sale than during the past few years. The United States uses annually between tour and five million Christmas trees, according to estimates of the Forest Service, United States Department of Agriculture. This equals approximately the combined consumption of England, Scotland and Wales, and is about 25 per cent greater than that of Germany. Christmas trees bear practically the same fruit the country over, but the variety of the tree itself varies according to the locality. The fir is undoubtedly the Christmas tree par-excellence, especially in the northeastern and lake states on account of its long, horizontal spreading, springy branches, and deep green, fragrant foliage which persists longer than that of any evergreen.

In the .northeastern and lake states, Balsam fir furnishes the bulk of the Christmas tree trade. In the south the Frazer fir is the favorite. In Colorado and other Rocky Mountain states, fir, though abundant, is difficult of access, and the Lodge Pole pine and occasionally the Douglas fir and Englemann spruce are used. On the Pacific coast the Christmas tree is often the white fir. Spruce vies with fir in popularity as Christmas trees.
