ENABLED COAL MEN TO MAKE $8,900,000 ‘Washington, Dec. 23.—Senate investi- gation of the coal industry was suspend- ‘ed~today until next Wednesday, but sharp crjticism of the National Coal As- sociation and government departments was made by Senator Calder of New York, chairman of the nvestigating com- mittee, brought recent disclosures into de- bate. The New York senator gave mo- tice that the committee would proceed next to clear up charges by George H. Cushing, managing direclor of the Amer- ican Wholesale Coal Association, that government officials had pursonally par- ticipated in coal profits during the period of shortage lhst fell. Senator Calder, speaking bn ‘the senate fidor,s said the war: department had ens abled coal men to make $8,000,000. in profits by. buying two million tons of the | coa) during the stringency, and reported that D. W. Wents, president of the Na- tional Coal Association, took out in com- |’ missions for purchasing 2a part of ‘the quantity. Senator Pomerene, democrat, Ohio, de- manded that committee refer the maiter to the department of justice if it found that Colonel Wentz sold coal mined by himself. for, $3.50 a_ton, while the gav- ernment paid $11.50 for its quota.

TRACING THE ORIGIN OF YULETIDE CUSTOMS Washington, Dec. ~ 23.—Symbols of American . Christmas_ observance, the Christmas tree, candles and mistletoe. are relics of nature worshipping days adapted to the uses of Christianity, says issued today by the D nal c society. tracing the origin of these Yuletide customs. They have to do with the pagan theory of the rc-birth of the sun, the bulletin says, the tree coming down ffom ancestors, the candles from teutonic sun worshippers, and the mistletoe from the Druids. The Christmas spirit of giving, exemp- lified by Santa Claus, goes back to Rom- an days, the bulletin _contirues, adding that while “there more sentiment and less of the ecclesiastical in-the /[United States in observance of Christmas than in Puropean lands,* mince pie, traditionally a riecessity on every American Christmas dinner table, has a religious origin. The chpice tidbits there in,” the bulletin caws, “were symbolical of the rich gifts brought by the e men to the Christ Child, and the aroma to thot of the Frankincense which they also proffered.
