Washington, Dec. 19. W Presi
dent and Mrs. Coolidge, as has been
their custom the five holiday sea
boiis they have passed in the White
House, will again set the example
for the nation this year by observ
ing a quiet home Christmas.
A sparkling Christmas tree,
(mall but gaily decorated, in the
Blue Room: wreaths in the win
dows: lights shining out across the
broad lawn on Christmas Eve; the
on of the house coming home.
These simple but appealing rites,
celebrated in millions of American
homes, will be duplicated on the
last Christmas President and Mrs.
Coolidge will spend in the White
House. The family will exchange
gifts on Christmas morning. Din
ner will be in the evening as usual
with perhaps a few guests invited.
Christmas Eve Mrs. Coolidge will
accompany the President to Sher
man Square where,' at 8 o'clock the
Prefklent will light the National
Community Christinas tree. In the
afternoon of the same day Mrs.
Coolidge will Help the Salvation
Army hand out 750 Christmas bas
kets. In every army post of the land
Christmas will oe . a holiday save
for those on guard and police duty.
There will be post celebrations
with trees and elaborate dinners.
Army women, according to cus
tom, will see that all children of
the posts are provided with toys
and candy.
Christmas in the navy will be ob
served in various ways according
to the locations of the different
hips. Sailors are noted for put
ting on "high Jinks" when given
the opportunity and many an amus
ing vaudeville will be staged
aboard battleships Christmas day.
Forty-two thousand Christmas
bags, containing all sorts of useful
articles, were shipped by the Amer
ican Red Cross some weeks ago to
men of the army, navy and marine i
corps serving in distant posts.
.Many or me troops on auiy in
warm countries have regimental
trees outdoors on Christmas Eve,
when the bags, made and filled by
Red Cross volunteer workers in
chapters all over the country, are
distributed.
Some of the children of the em
bassies and legations this year will
spend their first Christmas in
America. Among them are Ferdi
nand and Nella Vcverka, children
of the new minister from Czecho
slovakia. The custom of Poland, a
big fish dinner on Christmas Eve
followed by presents to all the chil
dren, will be observed.
The three children of the minis
ter from Cuatemala will entertain
their American and Central Amer
ican playmates at a Christmas
pa rty.
Senor and Senora Tellez, the
Mexican ambassador and his wife,
who are very popular in Washing
ton have three children and every
year a big Christmas party is given
at the embassy to which young
sters of Washington's leading fam
Hies look forward with glee.
ARTIFICIAL HUMUS
IS MADEON FARMS
Process Is Inexpensive and
Available to All Farmers
Washington, Dec. Z0 The
farmer has turned to 'modern sci
ence for solutions of his humus
problems.
Experiments by H. W. Warner
of the National Fertiliser associa
tion are declared to prove that an
artificial humus can be made from
leaves, grass cuttings, weeds and
other waste miterials of vegetable
origin. The process is inexpen
sive and available to every person
who tills land.
Last year Warner planted rye.
as late as November, as a base for
his artificial products. By the fol
lowing April he had several inches
of top growth which he cut and
piled with various farm and gsr
den wastes. Between the layers
mid on top of the pile he sprinkled
a commercial preparation known
as "Adco," or. In lieu of that, a
mixture of ammonium sulphate and
fine-ground limestcne, and kept
the pile moist. In short time he
had a well-rooted composition,
which he plowed into the soil with
good results.
Manufacturers of fertilizer al
ways have recognised the impor
tance of humus in the soil. They
describe it as soil "life." Plant
food may be obtained In numerous
commercial forms, but humus
alone ha kept the land lu good
physical condition.
They know, too. that keeping a
good stock of decaying organic
matter in the soil Is the most dif
ficult and often the least satlsfae
tory phase of the farmer's soil
problems. It is the stirring of the

Warner explains that in tho ar
tificial product the lime provides
a favorable chemical reaction and
the ammonium sulphate furnishes
the nitrogen necessary for maxi
mum bacterial development and
rapid decomposition. The mixture
usually recommended is approxi

monium sulphate and two parts of
ground limestone. This mixture Is
used at the rate of ahovt one pound

FIND EVIDENCE OF
Possessed Surprisingly High
Degree ol Culture N
Washington, Dec. 20 OP) Frown
refuse heaps and ruined huts that
once were villages on the shores of
St. Lawrence Island and vicinity
along the northern P.ering sea
coast have yielded new evidence
this summer of the surprisingly
high degree of culture possessed
by the Eskimos who lived in that
desolate region 300 to S0O years
ago.
Thus, after disging deeper thar
ever before into the remote past
of Eskimo ' life in Alaska, the
Smithsonian scientists who ar
conducting the first systematic
American investigation of the eth
nology and archeology of that race
find themselves in the somewhat
paradoxical situation of being
seemingly farther than ever from
one of theii objectives, definite
knowledge of its origin and spread
in North America.
Henry B. Collins, pr., assistant
curator of the division of ethnolo
gy of the National Museum, who
has conducted the Investigation of
eld Eskimo village sites for the
last two years, returned from 'his
summer's work with more than SO
crates of skeletons, objects of art,
ornaments, utensils and weapons.
Mr. Collins believes that they
are the most ancient objects yet
unearthed relating to Eskimo cul
ture In Alaska and that they- link
the early St Laurence Islanders
very definitely with the Siberian
