Bismarek Tribune Co. Santa Claus, Ind. for years a sleepy little village aca near Evansville, never foresaw today’s complications when it adopted its unique name. Here's the main street and the postoffice that handles all that mail tions really began. Milton Harris, a former Vincennes, Ind., lawyer and salesman, leased from the owners every bit of the land in and about the . His plan was for the Christmas saint. Postmaster Oscar Phillips to acquire exclusive use of the Santa Claus postmark for $100,000 a year, and that a maker of soft drinks of- fered $750,000 for a concession that would put Santa Claus back of his unincorporated village. for @ sort of “wonderland toy town” | product. with various commercial concessions taking advantage of the Santa Claus address, Part of this he accomplished, with result that the town now has a ands of the Indiana appellate court. Auto Firm Bid for Name The commercial possibilities that It is Barrett who built the granite monument to Santa, but thus far the courts have upheld Harris’ claim to the land on which it stands, and have forbidden even ® postcard likeness of the statue to be sold in the town. ‘The painting of the militant Santa with the ex-sword was Harris’ con- tribution, Emil Strauss, the painter, maintains that he modeled his work jon Saint Nicholas, bishop of Myra, who had quite a reputation as a sol- dier before canonization. It was Mrs. Harris who insisted that the sword come off in favor of a trumpet, in deference to local opinion and ancient tradition. t ‘Santa Claus’ Moves In Another attempt to make use of the magic name of Santa Caus was made by Jack Cannon, motor work- er of Dearborn, Mich. Cannon had his name legally changed to Santa Clause and set out for his Indiana namesake town. He rented postoffice may be at stake are indicated by re- ports that a big auto company tried box No. 1. and prepared to claim all mail addressed to Santa Claus. But Cannon (or Clause) couldn't find @ room in town, and had to rent one just outside the village limits and take an R. F. D, address. Cannon's plan apparently was to arrange with department stores to answer for @ fee their Santa Claus mail, supplying the stores with lists of the children’s wants. Stores have reported this sea- son again offers of this kind from “Santa Claus, Santa Claus, Ind.” There is also a remailing corpora- tion which has secured a train of old railway cars for its headquarters. Their business is re-wrapping and re- mailing under the magic Santa Claus postmark, any packagés sent to it. A similar plan for selling postcards to be mailed from Santa Claus at Christ- mas-time was tried out. Annual Deluge of Mail For years Santa Claus drowsed be- side the rutty highway. Then, sud- denly, came fame. The postoffice be- gan to be deluged with incoming mail addressed to Santa Claus. Mailings from the town, which had not exceed- ed 20,000 pieces a year, have risen to to go out postmarked “Santa Claus.” Several years ago it was even pro- posed to abandon the postoffice be- cause of its “abnormal business.” But answer the letters with the (his wife, two daughters, sons. Three or four extra clerks put on for the Christmas season. and Santa Claus, Inc.” Yes, there is a Santa Claus. In fact there are several of him, several incorporated, certified, legally-exist- ent, 22-carat Sante Clauses, all com- peting with each other to purvey Christmas spirit from the one and only Santa Claus, Ind. “Banta Claus of z= Mercury May Power Ships, Lower Costs New York, Nov. 19.—()—An in- vention to use mercury power— the energy of hot molecules—to @rive steamships and reduce the cost of shipping was announced Friday to the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, The architects were informed that the Normandie, transatlantic record holder, can substitute mer- cury for steam and cut her an- nual fuel bill $400,000, with no speed loss. The proposal for this new type of sea power was made by Wil- iam L. R. Emmet, Schenectady, N. Y., engineer who started use of mercury power eight years ago. Five American plants are using it but mercury never has been feasible at sea. An improvement in boilers, Em- met said, recently made at the Pittsfield, Mass, General Electric mercury power plant, makes it possible to extend the new hot molecule principle, and in many cases mercury can be installed on tly like steam. The metal vaporizes and turns a turbine the same as steam. But it puts more of the heat of the fuel to work than does steam power.

Vandenberg interrupted the anti- lynching filibuster on the senate floor to read a newspaper dispatch from Paris which said Bullitt had gone to Poland for that purpose. The account said Bullitt was under- stood to be “acting under instructions from President Roosevelt.” Senator Lewis asserted that an ef- fort should be made at once to “as- certain the facts,” from the state de- partment and the president. “It is inconceivable,” mented, “that the ambassador to France would have blundered into such action.” A Carnegie Institute professor states that the Grand Canyon indi- cates the earth is 200,000,000 years old.

Despite receipt of three plane ship- ments of serum, Dr. E. B. Godfrey, New Mexico state health director, the sufferers “don’t have a chance.” “They're just ebbing away in a comatose condition,” said Dr. C. A.
