POPE IS GIVEN
MANY PRESENTS
Jubilee Year Adds Flood
To Usual Number
Received
VATICAN CITY. Dec. 24-</P>-Al-
most every day la Christmas for Pope
Plus.
Probably no man In Christendom
receives so many presents the year
round as the Pontiff. Christmas time
brings a particularly heavy avalan-
che of them but Christmas is but
the climax of a series of little Christ-
mases.
This year because Christmas falls
within his jubilee year and come;
only days after the golden anni-
versary' of his first mass—December
21. 1879—the flood of gifts has been
all the greater. It began with the
presentation oP a table sendee of
600 pieces the gift of the German
Baich seat by president Von Hind-
enburg.
Simultaneously the Hungarian
government announced it would
present 1000 books especially bound
and engraved with the Hungarian
and Papal coats of arms to the
Pope. And the Czechoslovakian gov-
ernment announced presentation oi
a painting of the Eucharistic con-
gress held in Prague.
Gifts to the Pope range from the
ridiculous to the priceless. They
come from individuals cities or
states. A widow will send a reli?
A millionaire will send a jewel. A
government will send almost any-
thing. so long as it has great value
or will give the Pope buildings or
land. The Pope’s Christmas stocking
must needs cover a wide acreage.

the heights and depths of Broad-
way and has sought and purchased
It* glittering luxury.
Gary is the shy. bashful awkward
hoy from the West who gets to New
York for the first time when his
company mobilizes there on its way
to France. These two meet the
clean-minded youth and the gilded
Broadway beauty. These two love.
Then Nancy realizes that lie loves
her for what he thinks she is not
fer what she reallv is.
In addition to Nancy Carroll and
Gary Cooper. Paul Lukas the “John

Scenes In Per In
"Berlin After Dark” is laid in th-
German caoital and is a mystery
romance of marked novelty touch-
ing both the upper and the under-
world. A large portion of the pic-
ture takes place in a huge Berlin
amusement park a place similar to
our own Coney Island and at police
headquarters.
In the amusement park amid
roller coaster wheels of fortune
and loops the loops the dramatic
plot finds its origin. While the
story centers about the solution of
a baffling murder mystery the ro-
mantic interest surrounds the dau-
ghter of the slain man. the owner
of the park and her sweetheart
who is suspected of the crime.

Santa's Christmas Eve
By MARY GRAHAM BONNER
The toys were all ready.
They were sitting waiting on
long tables in Santa's workshop.
How proud they were! No less a
person than Santa Claus had made
them. It was enough to make any
toy proud.
Outside it was snowing. Snow-
flakes were flying about running
races with the wind.
The reindeer were waiting. How
loyal Santa Claus was to them!
Even though there were times when
he left them for a few hours while
he made longer distances by air-
plane. still they pulled his wonder
ful old sleigh across the sparkling
snow from town to town and even
over the roofs.
He would be starting with them
soon. Were they not all ready with
their bells jingling? They liked to
hear the Sounds of the bells and so
they moved about letting the beds
tinkle merrily in the cold frosty
air.
Santa Claus was getting ready
now. There was no moment quite
like it in all the year.
There were the Jolly times when
he was rushing rushing rushing
finishing toy animals and dolls ana
painting splendid names on sleds

and when he was down on the floor
of his own workshop making certain
that the electric trains would go
around on their tracks and stop
only when they had finished then
journeys.
There were the cheery times when
he would sit after the day's toy
making was finished and read
letters from boys and girls all over
the world. How he loved his let-
ters! How carefully he kept track
of any changes in their addresses I
How he kept adding to his great
and mighty lists—the longest lists
in all the world—as they wrote him
of other presents they would so love
to have.
Oh. yes. all those times were won-
derful. But there was no moment
in all the moments in all the year'
that could be compared to the one
that came just as he was getting
ready to leave.
Now Santa Claus was putting on
his great red coat and tying the
sash around his waist. And now
he was putting the toys Into hla
huge huge pack.
The toys hear the muffled sounds
of the bells from the reins of the
reindeer and they hear that dear
jolly old voice saying:
"Christmas Eve has come at last.
They’ll all be waiting for me. Let’s
hurry hurry to them!*
His voice sounded a little muf-
fled too. for of course the toys
were in the pack and the couldn’t
hear as well as though they had
been outside.
The toys in the pack were talk-
ing toegther softly wondering
where they were going whether
they would hang from trees or see
their owners for the first time as
they peeped from the tops of stock
