Ex-Governor James M. Cox of Ohio

nominating him again was being sug-

gave promise of developing his pros-

Not caring to run a second time,
he said (and doubtless wisely, for a

SCRANTON, Pa. — (UP) —
Scrantonians will have to do some
heavy Christmas mailing in order
to keep Scranton in its ranking as
a milhon-dollar postoffice, which
it has held since 1923.
Total receipts for the first 11
months this year are $892,333.47.
That leaves more than $100,000 to
be taken in this month to hit the
$1,000,0000 mark.
Since last December’s receipts
were mo"e than $125,000, postal
officials are confident the post-
office will make its goal.

The rest of the money will be spent in

All the projects envisaged in the plan
should be started before the end of 1932.
Most of them will get under way during the
coming winter.
Recent sharp increases in unemployment
figures have spurred the government to push
the bill through parliament as quickly as pos-
sible. The Ministry of Labor estimates that
approximately 60,000 persons are receiving
unemployment relief in France at the present
time. This is 20 per cent more than two

Henry McLemore)
NEW YORK, Dec. 21. (UP) —
When Col. McLemore of Gawgla,
grand marshall of the Sports Pa-
rade, decided recently to take a va-
cation and do a little strutting back
home in the South, where he was
bawn, It was his own suggestion
that your correspondent itssuine his
his dally tusk. J
There were two reasonAhe said,
behind your correspondence back.,
why old Gaffer Whipple was the
best bet to conduct the column.
First, he pointed out, the editors
and customers would rejoice when
Col. McLemo' returned to the job.
Second, when things went wrong,
as they were bound to do, the old
Gaffer would take all the blame,
and Col. McLemo’ would come in
for a regloribicatlon upon his re-
sumption of duty.
VIRGINIA O’HANLON,
115 West Ninety-fifth Street.
Virginia, your little friends are wrong.
They have been affected by the skepticism of
a skeptical age. They do not believe except
they see. They think that nothing can be
: which is not comprehensible by their little
minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they
be men’s pr children’s, are little. In this
great universe of ours man is a mere insect,
an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the
boundless world about him, as measured by
the intelligence capable of grasping the whole
pf truth and knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He
’’ exists as certainly as love and generosity and
devotion exist, and you know that they
abound and give to your life its highest beau-
ty and ioV. Alas! how dreary would be the
world if there were no Santa Claus! It would
be as dreary as if there were no Virginias.
There would be no childlike faith then, no
t, poetry, no romance to make tolerable this ex-
istence. We should have no enjoyment, ex-
cept in sense and sight. The eternal light
With which childhood fills the world would
be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as
well not believe in fairies! You might get
your papa to hire men to watch in all the
chimneyd on Christmas eve to catch Santa
Claus, but even if they did not see Santa
Claus coining down, what would that prove?
»a Santa Claus, but that is no sign
is no Santa Claus. The most real
“I in the world are those that neither
Iren nor men can see. Did you ever see
fairies dancing on the lawn ? Of course nut,
but that’s no proof that they are not there.
Nobody can conceive or imagine all the won-
ders there are unseen and unseeable in the
world.
You tear apart the baby’s rattle and see
what makes the noise inside, but there is a
Veil covering the unseen world which not the
strongest man, nor even the united strength
of all the strongest men that ever lived, could
tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love,
• romance, can push aside that curtain and view
and picture the supernal beauty and glory
beyond. Ts it all real? Ah Virginia, in all
this world there is nothing else real and abid
ing.
No Santa Claus! Thank God, he lives,
•and he lives forever. A thousand years from
now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand
years from now, he will continue to make
glad the heart of childhood.

A novel fishing expedition was

Glenconner had grounded.
To float the vessel it was neces-

For several days fishermen
found it more profitable to sal-
vage the fine Welsh anthratcite
than to angle for cod and haddock.
At one time 14 fishing boats were
recovering the coal with oyster
nets.

The colonel made a few errors,
lie had understood that our knowl-
edge of sporting matters was con-
fined to reporting, blow by blow,
the daisy chain rites at Vassar and
similar intimate amusements. He
thought our interest in the more
virile sports, such as tossing the
calx'r or horse fighting in the An-
tibes, was purely academic.
The second error is that, in this
Yuletide season, there is no neces-
sity of commenting on football,
baseball, tennis, golf, swimming or
other outdoor activities, because
thj whole world has suddenly gone
berserk over bridge. By the time

LINCOLN, Neb. — (UP)—The

20 minutes after birth won $11,-

mother.
The $11,000 represented part of
the estate of Henry Stuertz, the
father and husband, who was ac-
cidentally killed. His parents
contested the wife’s claim to the
$1 '000.
The physician who attended
, the mother at the time of the
"hihl’s birth testified that by ar-
tificial means, the child’s heart
had been made to beat for 20 min-
utes after birth, even though the
child did not draw a breath of air.
The parents of the dead father
had based their claim on the con-
tention that the child had never
been born alive.
The jury awarded the legacy to
the mother.
By RALPH HEINZEN
United Press Staff Corespondent
PARIS, (UP)—The government’s un-
employment relief program, intended to pro-
vide work for 300,000 men throughout 1932,
has, excellent prospects of a speedy passage.
While keeping an eye on the cabinet’s
debt and reparations negotiations, the new-
ly convened Chamber of Deputies will tackle
the unemployment question as the most
pressing of all domestic problems.
The government’s program is part of the
national development scheme of Andre Tar-
dieu, minister of agriculture. It provides for
an expenditure of approximately $188,000,-
000 on public works in all parts of the coun-
try.
The national government will provide
$120,000,000, probably by floating a loan. The
remainder will be provided by municipal and
departmenttai governments. Tardieu be-
lieves that with this expenditure France can
warjl off the depression and wipe out unem-
ployment during 1932.
All Benefit
Seamen, dock workers, farmers, electri-
cians, carpenters, road builders, teachers,
doctors and engineers will be-among those di-
rectly benefitted by the scheme.
Approximately $20,000,000 will be spent
in improving harbors and modernizing docks
and quays. The same amount will be spent
on public roads. Agriculture will receive an-
other $20,000,000 to be spent on new equip-
ment, improving rural conditions and extend-
ing electricity to the farms.
Construction of new school buildings
will cost $12,000,000. Approximately $14,-
000,000 will be used in building hospitals and
asylums.

Indecisiveness of Baker
Viewed in Washington
As Harming His Chances
By CHARLES P. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer
WASHINGTON, D. C.—
Anyone who happens to be gov-
ernor of New York when his party
s casting about for a presidential
candidate always
Is among that
party's possibili-
ties for thk )iom-
Ination. He is
sure to have po-
litical friends
who think they
would profit by
having him In
the White lionise
Of course b&can
depend off these
folk to do all
they can to boost
his chances.
Therefore, he Is
In a position to
alt back in digni-
fied fashion and
pretend to be entirely Indifferent to
the campaign that he Is quite aware
is being waged for him.
This Is tho comfortable fix In which
Franklin I). Roosevelt finds himself
as the Democratic national conven-
tion of 1932 approaches.
Newton D. Baker Is not
situated.
He neither Is governor of New
York (he lives In Cleveland, for one
reason) nor of any state. Tho gov-
ernorship of his home commonwealth
Is a presidential asset, too, like the
governorship of New Yorkt< but not
so large an asset. AnyWAy, the
present Democratic governor of Ohio
is George White. By the same token,
ho Is something of a
presidential possib’llty.

NEWTON D. BAKER, neverthe-
less, has been prominently mentioned
as an ideal person for the Democrats
to put at the head of their national
ticket next year. Early last spring
ho was perhaps more prominently so
mentioned than any other Democrat
except Governor RoosevciL
The "breaks"xthen had been exactly
right for him.
It was at the moment when Derho-
crats generally (many drys, even)

pediency of naming at leant a damp

election. At this auspicious juncture
