(Prepared for Community Service by Prof. Peter W. Dykema, University of Wisconsin, Madison. Wis.) "The First Nowell" Many words contain complete stor Thfi prench word "Noel" moreover has another story to tell. It comes from the Latin, "Natalis," meaning birth. The old Latin sentence, "Hodie Christus Xatus Est." means "Today Christ Born Is." So "Noel" was birthda v. T!v freriuent use it was made to refer to the birthday of Jesus, and then to a song which told about the "Noel" in birthday of Jesus. Hence,

ench means, besides the birthdav of jefViS, both a Christmas carol and a Christmas greeting. "Noel! Noel!"' j., thu3 the French salutation, and re-when coupled with "Joyeux" to make "joveux x0el" it means joyous or nierry Christmas.

SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND,

SAYS VOLCANO IS SAFE AS LONG AS THE STEAM CONTINUES TO ESCAPE (By Associated Press) REDDING, Cal., Dec 21 Eruptions are not liable to occur at Lassen Peak, the only active volcano in the United States proper, as long as the mountain continues to emit smoke and steam, as it is now doing, according to M. E. Dittmar, geologist and authority on conditions in the Lassen secDittmar, known as the "father" 0f Lassen National Park, which includes the volcano and the country surrounding it, recently returned from an extensive tour over the section. The action of the volcano, the geologist declared, is similar to that of a steam boiler. As long as steam can escape there is not any danger of an explosion, but if the steam is confined and cannot escape, the pressure gradually increases until finally the boiler blows up, just as the top of the mountain blows off if the gas and steam inside is confined. Lots of Steam There is a great deal of steam and gas coming from the cracks in the mountain. Dittmar reported. Before the big eruption of 1915 there was very little steam emitted. Several geysers have made their ! appearance since the eruption in what Is known as the Devil's Kitchen, one of the noted spots in the park. In the Devil s Kitchen there are between 700 and 800 active hot springs, boiling iuuu craters ana geysers witnin an area of 23 acres. Some of the geysers force boiling water several feet into the air and eject steam to a height of several hundred feet. Boiling waters from the Kitchen flow into the icy cold waters of a nearby stream which has been named the Rivulet Styx. , A scenic highway is proposed through the park, touching the Devil's Kitchen, the Rivulet Styx and giving a view of the mountain.

PERU WILL PROPOSE inniTniTinu num

AnDimAllUN uven PROVINCES, BELIEF (By Associated Press) SANTIAGO, Chile, Dec. 21. The ; Chilean note forwarded to Lima Monday night is interpreted in diplomatic and political quarters as virtually certain to bring a reply from Peru cmbodying a more specific proposal for arbitration of the dispute over the provinces of Tacna and Arica than was contained in the Peruvian answer to Chile's first note. This will pave the way to further exchanges for a settlement of the long standing disagreement. The original note from Chile, which started the present diplomatic exchange, proposed a plebiscite to determine the sovereignty of the provinces. Feature of Reply They declared that "before agreeing to arbitration which Chile has not rejected it would be convenient to know exactly what is the difference over the plebiscite formalities that would oblige the two countries to resort to the judgment of another nation in order to arrive at a perfect uni derstanding," is viewed as the feature of the Chilean reply. It is recalled that during the years of negotiations Chile has never before gone quite so far as this reference to discussion of possible arbitration, having maintained a policy of direct settlement between the two countries, while Peru held out for arbitration. The World War has cost the nations that engaged in it, in money alone, $250,000,000,000 as much, as the entire wealth of the United States. A SMART "TOP GARMENT" Pattern "767 is here illustrated.
