UNFORTUNATES MADE HAPPY IN NEW YORK Hundreds of Christmas Parties Staged for Poor and In- stitution Inmates. ecember 26.—Hun- of Christmas entertainments were staged here yesterday for poor children. At each of these Santa Claus distributed toys, fruit and candy to boys and girls who other- wise might have lost faith in him. One of the most spectacular func- tions was at the Hippodrome, where 6,500 youngsters were entertained at a theatrical performance after mid- get actors had assisted old Kris Krin- gle in handing out presents to the ren. lhousands of Christmas dinners, thing and gifts were distributed to edy families by relief agencies in peration with countless indi- viduals. The holiday spirit also pervaded hospitals, prisons and reform schools.

The weather man's promise of a “white Christmas” did not material- ize. Light snow flurries sprinkled the pavements this morning, but did not iast long. The crisp modderate weather, however, made it delightful to be outdoors and served to fill the churches to capacity. All of the hotels had arranged spe- cial programs for their guests. Many were decorated with holly and ever- green, while in the lobbies of others huge Christmas trees had been placed. Through the widespread use of elec- tric lights instead of candles, no burns or deaths from Christmas tree fires were reported. Hahns announce SCIENTISTS OF RUSSIA- DISCUSS POLE FLIGHT See No Possible Advantage to Na- tion in Projected Arctis Air Route. By the Associuted Press. LENINGRAD, December 26.—At'the congress vf Russian sclentists -here yesterday Capt. Bruns’ projected polar airplane —route from. northern Biberia through the Bering Straits to America was examined from the standpoint of its possible advantages to Soviet Russia. The sclentists de- cided that. such an enterprise was one of the most important Shoe Events in all their every leather and shoe material you could name. Silver and gold brocades, silver kids, paisleys, velvets, suedes scarcely feasible for carrying passen- gers, but might be useful in trans- porting postal matter and small con- signments of merchandiee. As all the districts within. the flight zone im the Siberian provincé of Irktusk do not have industrial or commerclal enterprises, it was held that even in &n economic sense the projected air route possessed no ad- vantages to Soviet Russia. The sclen- tists Believe it would be more useful to develop a water route from Siberian ports, using Zeppelins as a means of linking up ports and. for purposes of exploration of the Polar regions.

IRISH SENATE PASSES DRINK REGULATION BILL Restricts Hours of Sale to 13 a Day and Puts Clubs and Saloons on Same Footing. of the Associated Press. DUBLIN, December 8.—The Free State government's bill to regulate the sale of drink has passed the Sen- ate. Among other things it restricts the hours of sale to 13 a day and puts clubs of all classes on the same foot- ing as ordinary drink saloons as far as the serving of liquor is concerned. An interesting provision of the new law s the standardizing of the size of porter bottles. These bottles former! averaged 12 to the gallon, but man publicans, while charging the price per bottle, have recently beer. putting a gallen iInto 16 bottles. This is the government's first attempt a promoting temperance. Its next move it s announced, will be to diminisi the number of drink shops. There are 15,000 of them in the Free State, or one to every 250 citizens. In Englana the proportion is one to every 4 in Scotland one for §95. It is hoped tc reduce the Free State's 15,000 by a: least one-half, and a commission ix being set up to determins how it can be done and how compensation is to be provided. san Beg’inning tomorrow 9 A.M. at all Six “HAHN" Stores--- Over two-thirds of our entire stock of Women's Shoes ONE-THIRD OFF!
