The tariff, he figures, is not so much of a "bug-a-boo" aa some persons would like to - believe. Mr. Wilson reiterated his pleasure at the telegraph dissolution and his opinion that other business interests were showing a' disposition to comply with the law. He said that his letter to James C. McReynolds,- Attorney General, expressing this belief, was , due to his close observance of this condition. He did not, however, name any specific case. This idea led to the general belief that some of the large corporations against whom suits already have been or are about to be instituted, havs demonstrated a willingness . to settle their difficulties out of court. These,' it is said on goSd authority, include the United States Steel Corporation and the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad. Along this line Mr. Wilson said that there was a disposition by the heads of these corporations to inquire what the law is and what steps should be taken tn brine- n.bont a. settlement that I would be satisfactory, to the govern ment. He made clear that the admin istration stands willing to assist these organizations in. every way- possible.

Mr. Wilson feelsthat the dissolution of the American Telephone and Tele graph 'company will prove to be an incentive for similar action by other big "comUines." Mr. Wilson declined to say whether or not he favors government owner ship of the wire lines of the country. He - told visitors that, he never ex pressed his views as to : thi feature.

Gifts are also distributed among the children, and in this respect the festival is some what akin to Christmas. Chanukah commemorates the re el eclieatioir of the temple at Jerusalem in the year 165 B. C. The sacred ed ifice had been polluted by Antlochus Epiphones, who had set up a shrine to his pagan deity in the place Nof . the altar of Jehovah. Judas Maccabeus, one of the great martial heroes of the Jews, avenged the desecration, and on the" twenty-fifth day of -the month Kislev he rededicated the temple to the -service of God. At that time the high priest searched for some oil that had not been polluted by the pagans, but found only a small quantity, suffi cient only to' last one day. This oil, by a miracle, renewed Itself and last ed for eight ' days, and ' ever since Chanukah has been celebrated for eight days.
