TO0QUDLIVE TREES | TOWEAR GAY GARB California Christmas Fete Will Be Treat for Rich and Poor. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. SAN FRANCISCO, December 5—No child in California will be too poor this| = year to enjoy the spirit of Christmas in so far as it is represented by a beau- tifully decorated and lighted Christmas tree, for it is estimated that at least 100,000 outdoor trees throughout the State will sparkle with baubles and electric lights. ‘This State makes quite a to-do over outdoor Christmas trees, having a State-wide organization to foster t idea. Of course, working, as it does, with Cham| of Commerce and other civic and ster bodies, the Outdoor Christmas Tree Association doesn't smind if some one mentions that Califor- nia mild Winter climate is suitable for such an idea to grow in, but the idea really goes deeper, and the seed wasn't planted by Californians, Inc. Clarence F. Pratt of San Francisco, whose home is at the edge of Sutro Forest—awhil er of this crowded city—five ye tall evergreen tree the Christmas s mother of a poor ck dence called cn Mr. P) him for his thoughtful ., how her little oy enjoyed the tree, hav- | ing none of his own. This gave the| founder of the Qutdoor Tree Association the idea that many other children, and | perhaps grownups as well, would get more enjoyment from the Christmas season if outdoor trees were decorated. 100,000 Trees Goal. Luncheon gatherings are being or have been held throughout the State to Jaunch this year's activities. A goal of 50,000 decorated trees in Northern and Central California and an equal num- ber in the south has been set and there is confidence that it will be reached.| The theme of the gatherings this year is to Testore cheer in the hearts of the tate's youngsters despite the culmina- tion of hard times. Confidence that the goal set will be reached is helped by the low prices for decorations prevail- this year. mg;‘he mga has appealed to persons in- terested in forest conservation and both State and National foresters are found taking an active part in the community gatherings. Though the tree associa- tion does mot condemn all Christmas tree cutting, it does condemn indiscrimi- nate cutting and emphasizes the greater leasure to the greater number given v decoration of living trees. Foresters utilize the idea and the occasion for public education in forest conservation. Many ‘housands of persons living in Central California will attend religious ceremonies Christmas morning in Gen. Grant National Park, where the iCve L Grant Sequoia, “the oldest living thing,’ is annually decorated as C}ggrt:‘ 1ans st:;e Francisco several special eatures are being sponsored by u;s utdoor Tree Association.

Inquiries have come to the Outdoor free Association from many parts of th> country and the idea has spread to other States, notably Oregon and Utah. Quite a number of saplings have been dug up in Sutro Forest and sent to other cities as a physical link between the California association and those being formed elsewhere. Sponsors of the association here hope that ulti- mately the movement will be Nation- Wide, bringing more cheer at Christ- mas time and promoting interest in preservation of tree life. JOHN R. DUNN SPEAKS ON CHRISTIAN SCIENCE (”embor of Board of Eectureship t Holds World Should Alter i Its Coneepts. John Randall Dunn, member of the oard of Lectureship of the Mother hurch, the First Church of Christ Scientist, in Boston, delivered a ]ec-‘ ture on the subject of “Christian Sci-‘ ence: The Saving Law of Love” at] Constitution Hall yesterday under aus- | pices of the four local Churches of | Christ. | Mr. Dunn, who was introduced by Clarke F.

From across the threshold he addressed him. “If ever you attempt to communicate with my wife I won't be responsible for what I'll do.” Picking himself up, Dicky delivered his Parthian shot. “That ‘my wife’ stuff sounds fine. But Santa was my wife before she was yours, allow me to remind you.” Breathing heavily, Clive slammed the door and listened to the departing foot- steps of his enemy. ‘To postpone having to face Santa, he peered into the passage.

By the Associated Press. SORRENTO, Italy, December 5.— Semi-official reports have been received that an heir to the throne of Bulgaria is expected in the near future and that it may be born in this fashionable Win- ter resort on the south shore of the Bay of Naples. Czar Boris III of Bulgaria and Czarina Giovanna, the Italian princess who be- | came his bride two years ago, are among | several members of European royalty | who are expected in Sorrento during | the Winter. Another is Princess Helen, divorced | wife of King Carol of Rumania. The announcement that she has chosen Sor- rento as her home for six months has put a final quietus on the persistent rumors of an approaching reconcilia- tion between her and the King. cess Helen, who went to Rumania from London about a month ago to see their son, Crown Prince Michael, on his elev- enth birthday, left shortly thereafter for Italy. King Plans Visit. King Victor Emanuel of Italy will spend two months here and in Naples with Queen Elena. Their daughter, Giovanna, will be here at the same time and it is expected that Czar Boris will accompany or follow her. Prince George of Greece, now living in Flor- ence, is expected to accompany his sis- ter, Princess Helen, when she comes here. She has been visiting him. ‘With all the royalty here, an ironical touch is added by the fact that Sor- rento is also the part-time home of Maxim Gorky, famous Russian writer and confirmed Communist and enemy of royalty. Czar Boris, who is 38 years old, and Giovanna, who is now 24, have had no children and the present heir to the Bulgarian throne is the Czar's younger brother, Cyril. Boris succeeded his father, Ferdinand, who abdicated in 1918 and has been living in Saxe-Co- | burg-Gotha. | Czar Has Broad Powers. ‘The Czar of Bulgaria has the right | to make laws other than those creating | new taxes, without recourse to the na- | tional parliament. He may also ini- tiate legislation as well as veto it and make treaties through his ministers. i Watches, Diamonds and A hl.fl’liwe fl;L ideal o ROSSLYN LOAN CO. lRouly,n, Va. 14-Ounce Size ... $1.1o Coty’s Popular Perfumes In Their New Holiday Packages Cholee of 6 sparkling personality perfumes, each in a new orystal-like flagon box of gold and ivory.

There were almost insurmountable religious bars to the union, but after years of negotiation the Pope by special dispensation ruled the possible if their children would be brought up fn the Roman Church. The Czar of Bulgaria, by law, must profess the Greek or Orthodox religion. ‘This question of religion apparently was settled then. If an heir is born to them, it was pointed out, he or she “can make s decision” when it is time to ascend the throne. Boris gave a written promise that any children born of the marriage would without exception be baptized and educated as Roman Catholics. To the Vatican and to Italians generally, the Catholic marriage ceremony at As- sissi, Italy, on October 25, 1930, was the real marriage, and Bulgarian rites which followed were merely a routine public function. 715 By order of L tors of the Es: ‘With Valu Give Aeroerat Flightex Shirts High fiyers, these . . . with 7 laundry lives! leckband styles collar-attached styles in white, blue, grey . tan, green, A Man’s Friend Anywhere All-Wool Sweaters Everybody’s talking coat sweaters! e necks or pull-over sweat- ers fine quality.
