Last year, with the announcement of the forest service as a precedent, probably the largest sup ply of trees in history was placed on the market, and a correspondingly large supply was left unsold and was burned.” Already this year there are many ristmas trees in the market in vashington and Washingtonians have lieen bringing in trees from nearby Maryland d Virginia.

By the Associated Press PARIS, December 18 —French chi dren of the coming generation never know the delights of the ci G especially in the provinces. The high cost of living and transportation is responsible. Three French circuses which have been touring the prov- inces for years, bringing joy to youngsters, are selling out this Fall and closing shop for good. “It costs us 30,000 francs just to move from Calais to Havre,” M. Andre Raney of the well known French fam- ily of circus owners and managers, told the Assoclated Press recently, “and when we reached Havre we had to pay a tax of 40,000 francs to be allowed to show. The tax rate on our tickets is about 25 per cent. Some of our artists who were delighted (o work for us for 400 francs a month before the war now receive as high as 5.000, Three of the most important circuses in France will close shop in December, dishand their personnel and sell their fixtures abroad. We are through!” Paris children will be more fortu- nate, however, as two permanent cir- « , the Cirque de Paris and the Cirque d’Hiver, show throughout the Winter, excepting on Wednesdays, when boxing holds sway instead of clowns and trained dogs, elephants and beautiful ladies on white mares. TEPEE AND CORN MEAL SAVE,FIVE IN BLIZZARD Wandering Prospectors, Lost in Woods, Find Food and Shelter at Abandoned Indian Camp. By the Associated Press. TORONTO, Ontario, December —A bag of corn meal and an In tepee found in the wilds of the Woman Lake district probably saved the lives of five lost prospectors last week, Charles Peterson, Toronto prospector, reported today. Peterson sald he was one of a party of five men who became lost in the blizzard and took a trail lead- ing further into the wilderness under the impression that they were head- ed back to civilization. The =sight of the tepee warned them that they were heading in the wrong direction and the bag of me they found in it gave them suste- ance until they found the rai CIVITAN AND LIONS CLUBS TO AID POOR | Noti 'y Salvation Army That Christmas Baskets Will Be Furnished. The Civitan and Lions clubs have notified Capt. Ernest R. Holz, divi- sional commander of the Salvation Army, that they will furnish a num ber of Christmas baskets to be distrib- uted at 2:30 o'clock on Christmas eve to the poor people of the city, it was announced. Capt. Holz stated that the donation of the baskets is especially noteworthy at this time, since the Christmas drive for $25,000 has to date yielded only $11,000, leaving a big task for the one week remaining. The money raised at this time of year is used throughout the long winter_months in assisting the poor to obtain food, clothing and fuel. Mrs. Coolidge_ has signified her in- tention of attending the distribution of the baskets, which will be done at the auditorium, 606 ¥ street. The Navy Band orchestra will furnish music. Of the presents to be distributed at 6:30 o’clock to 1,000 children 500 dolls have been dressed by hand by young women living in the Evangeline, 1330 L street. The dolls will be on display in the lobby of the Evangeline this week, GARIBALD! ACCUSED OF POSSESSING ARMS French Police Declare They Found Rifles, Ammunition and Hand Grenades. By the Associated Press. NICE, France, December 18.—Col. Ricciotti Garibaldi, grandson of the Italian patriot, who recently was charged with conspiracy in the un- successful plot to set up an independ- ent government in Catalonia, Spain, today faced further charges of illegal possession of war materials. Police announced that 20 rifies, am- munition and hand grenades, had been found over Garibaldi’s garage and that a further charge would be made against him as a result of this dis- covery. Col. Francisco Macla, former Span- ish deputy, was arrested about the same time as Garibaldi, as the leader of the Catalan expedition, which failed when French police stopped the conspirators just as they were ahout to cross the French border into Spain.
