Arms Conference Not Likely
Arms Conference Not Likely
The committee's disaffection centers on the president's failure to adequately train marines in authorized cruisers, and on the reduction of funds to carry out the 5-year air service building program.
Until the question of another limb limitation of arms conference is thrashed out, the president augustated, construction of the three cruisers should be held up. Committee members, however, point out that the three naval delegates to the League of Nations have voted against a joint mission Geneva last summer told the committee that they hold out little hope for another arms meeting.
Other Nations Build Ships
England and Japan are increasing their cruise fleet which are covered by the Washington arms such committee members learned. An Admiral E. B. Ebler, chief of naval operations, informed the committee today that the United States would need 23 cruisers to place it on a port with England and Japan in such ships in 1831. To make our entire diet more balanced, we need an "Ebler's" Ebler estimated, an expenditure of between $800,000,000 and $600,000,000 for approximately fifty vessels would be necessary.

Imaginative Legends Concerning Saint Nicholas Stir in Mankind Desire to Imitate His Virtues
The name Saint Nicholas is not so familiar to the people of America as to those of Europe. At one time, the celebration of Saint Nicholas' day was general in Western Europe. This festival occurs on Dec. 6, and it is a celebration of the saints, and our Christmas customs, and our Santa Claus tradition.
Saint Nicholas was Holy Bishop
Saint Nicholas, who lived in the early part of the fourth century, was a holy Bishop of Myra, in Lycia in Ajla Minor. Little that is authentic is known of his life. He was noted for his kindness and generosity and in the early Christian times a luxurient growth of stories grew up around his name, which is an imaginative, but they served to stimulate a desire in mankind to initiate his virtues, and this initiation has crystallized into some of the noblest of nominal customs.
Particularly in Belgium and Holland the celebration of Saint Nicholas day was for many centuries the greatest festival of the year. On the eve of the day the Saint Nicholas character, frequently he made a preliminary visit in the early evening, arrived in bishop's robes with pastoral staff and miter, requiring at each hour concerning the conduct of the children. He gave a praises on warning and promised a reward on the following morning.
Children Expected Gifts
After his departure, the children placed receptacles for the gifts which they expected Saint Nicholas to bring down the chimney. Plates, haskets, stockings, or nearly polished shoes,
Children Expected Gifts
Next morning, the general disarray of the room showed that the steed had made the trip down the chimney. The outs or bay had been taken and remodeled, but the children were still things. In the case of bad children, however, the fodder remained unruffled and a roof was found beside it. If for lack of time or money paraplegic children thought that the gray horses had slapped and broken his leg.

Time For Family Memories
Often, in country districts, a man must stay on the street or bush and ride through the streets on a gray horse followed by a cart laden with gifts. Nor was the celebration confined to the children. It was a time for family reunions, for trips to the countryside, and for the new of old memories.

On Dec. 15, 1918, during the World War, the following new item was published in an English newspaper:
"The feast of Salut Nicholas, December 6, was celebrated at the little house in England, with presents for the children, stockings lung up on a Christmas tree, and all the rest of the children's Christmas eve and Christmas morning. This was not a mere anticipation of Christmas. St. Nicholas always had his festivities festively in Holland, Belgium, and parts of Germany, and we have borrowed the hanging up of stockings and carried it into the church. A custom was custom."
