This is in a small way attributable to the addition to the constitution of some | dry reading matter. In still greater part it is because the international whenever Father Time takes a fresh start in piloting the earth around the sun is | thousands of years old. The manner of observing the day has changed greatly through the centuries. The urge to give presents at least once a year was felt even before Christmas and Santa Claus came into the scheme of things, and the an- clent Greeks, Chinese, Egyptians and Romans tendered their gifts to one another on the first day of the year. Kings got into the habit of receiving extra gifts from their subjects on these days and liked it so well they began extorting larger and larger sums. This practice got so bad in Rome under the Cacsars that Claud- ius called a halt It spread to other countries, how- ever, and the English had their New Year's celebration spoiled annually by rapacious sovereigns until Queen Elizabeth’s modest demands of her subjects cut gifts down to a minimum. In those days the celebration of New Year's Day had become world- wide. With variations to suit all na- tionalities, it consisted everywhere of eating, drinking and motley merri- ment Christopher Columbus, so far as is known, was the first white man to jubilate on New Year's Day in the Western Hemisphere. While his ships were undergoing repairs on Jan. 1, 1493, he enjoyed a sumptu- ous dinner with two savage monarchs on the island of Haiti. After this meal, history says, the discoverer of Amer- fca had his first smoke of tobacco- Whether he enjoyed it is not record- ed, but he left it to a later genera- tion. Sir Walter Raleigh is gener- ally credited with the function—to introduce tobacco in Europe. The Pilgrim Fathers and the first families of the older states of the Union enjoyed a quiet holiday as each year came around. They feasted, but not until they had attended religious services. In the 19th century people with big houses, flowing sideboards held open house on New Year's Day and from all over friends came afoot, on bicycles and in surreys and stan- hopes to pay short visits and sample the contents of wine cellars. Thén they went off to call on other fricnds. Popular maidens in those days wit- nessed traffic jams in front of their homes, so prevalent was the pen- chant for short calls on young wom- en during the afternoon of the year's first day. This custom began to pass out quietly with the dawn of the 20th century, automobiles, and cabarets. It was succeeded by “nothing but wine” habits amid the thousands who fre- quented cafes and grill rooms in the citles on New Year's Eve. For 25 years up to the dawn of 1920 and the era of war-time prohibition, the celebration in New York became noisier and more expensive each vear. Thousands used to crowd into places of merrrment while' Broadway was packed with a surging throns of mer- rymakers with squawkers, clappers, bells, ticklers and confettl. Every hotel and most of the res- taurants were jammed with gay diners. In 1908 it was estimated that $1,000,000 was spent in the white-light district on New Year's eve. After that statsticians gave up trying to figure out the sum. 3 The din and probably the cost of the celebration was greatly diminished under war-time prohibition in the New Year's demonstration of 1920. Old timers said all the “ginger” had departed wth John Barleycorn. The cupld of 1921 will be the first to make his bow under Constitutional prohjbition. In New York he will find that times have changed. | 'ESPERANTO LINGO POPULAR AGAIN Leader in Movement Says “World- Wide” Language Is Recover- ing Lost Prestige.

Toward Progress Areh | police today | Connecticut Coffee | federal | in | public interest will be the peace pro- | be ushered in at Portland | Washington, Dec. 31.—(By The As- | sociated Press)—The new frontier of Armenia on the Turkish side as drawn | President Wilson at the invitation of the allied premiers cuts less deep- ly into former Turkish territory than the extreme limits prescribed by the premiers, it was learned today at the White House. : The note of invitation from the premiers asked the President to fix the frontier in the Vilayets of Erzeroum, Terbizond, Van and Bitlis, but it was said that none of these provinces were included in its entirety in Armenia. Roughly the boundary as drawn by Mr. Wilson extends from the Black | Se@ at a point slightly west qf Tire- boli, west of Kelkat and Erzingan throuzh Mitikan, west of Mush and Bitlis and south of Lake Van to the | fronter of Azerbaijan. The vilayets of Diarbekir, Sivas, Harpoot and Adana, sometimes claim- ed by zealous Armenians, were not in- cluded in the President’s award, nor was there any attempt to draw the eastern frontier of Armenia contigu- ous to Georgia and Azerbaijan. The allies are understood to have left the determination of this part of the boundary for separate negotiation with the trans-Caucasian republics of Georgia and Azerbaijan. Since President Wilson communi- cated his boundary decision to the al- led premiers several weeks ago con- ditions in Armenia have become so chaotic as a result of operations of the Bolsheviki and the Turkish National- | ists, that the allies are expected to postpone temporarily the putting into effect of the decision. It has been in- timated in official circles abroad that because of the new situation created in the Near East by the overthrow in Greece of Venizelos the Turkish treaty might have to be revised as to neces- sitate the reopening of the provisions of the Armenian settlement. State department officers have said that because of conditions in Armenia the President did not anticipate push- ing the mission of arbitration between the Armenians and the Turkish Na- tionalists. He is represented as de- siring to wait until the situaton has clarified. BOARD RECEIVES BIDS _ Propositions of Contractors For Ship- ping Board Project Range From $60,000 to $3,156,000. \\'ashinéon.
