The movement to prevent the cut- ting of young pine trees every year for Christmas trees was started by the American Forestry Association a short time ago in order to preserve the American forests. The offer of the assoclation to presemt a perma- nent tree to President Coolidge for use in Washington was accepted by the President. With the program Christmas eve the Community Center will have music and carol singing. The United States Army Band will accompany the singers. A brass quartet from the Army Band will also play carols. Arrangements have not been com- pleted as yet, but the Community Center committee sald that if it was possible plans to have the carols broadcast from -a local radio station would be carried out. The decoration of the Christmas tree will carry with it a program that will be carried out as a national prcgram. When President Coolidge presses the button to light the lamps on the Christmas tree he will simul- taneously light trees in many other cities of the United States.

Nott, who is presiding at the trial of Louis Montgomery Kardos, jr., a partner In the defunct brokerage con- cern of Kardos & Burke, charged with having felonfously _traded agalnst customers’ accoynts, that un- less the attorneys for the prosecu- tion and the defense ceased to quibble among themselves and immedlately proceed with the examination of wit- nesses, he would declare a mistrial, increase the bail of the defendant or commit him to jail pending a retrial. The judicial warning was issued during the cross-examination of Mrs. Florence Noble, Brooklyn, against whose account Kardos is specifically charged with having traded on “house accounts.” The trial up to that point had been marked by fre- quent objections and a running fire of cross-comments eounsel. . Mrs. Noble testified that on Janu- ary 20, 1922, she had given an order, through a Brooklyn branch of thé ‘firm, for the purchase of 50 shares of Chandler Motor stock. She never received the stock, she said, but later had been informed that the stock had been sold, and received a “confirma- tion of sale”” She had never given an order for the sale of the stock, shé said. Other witnesses testified as to deal- ings with the defunct brokerage firm. Miss Harriet Kaplan, head book- keeper for the firm, gave an account on the witness stand of the manner in ‘which the okerage firm dealt in “‘cross-orde: which had the effect of nullifying customers’ orders, and ‘relieved the house of actually carry- m; the stock which customers had between opposing rchased.
