President Coolidge will turn a switch on Christ- mas Eve which will light the great National Christmas tree on the White House lawn, at which time community Christmas trees throughout the coun- try will be simultaneously lighted. A short motor trip on Christmas Eve last year revealed how popular this custom has become. But this year will see an even more extensive use of the outdoor Christmas display. It is not altogether necessary to own an evergreen growing on the front lawn; for several dollars one may be bought at a nearby store and the final results will be quite as pleasing as the per- manent tree. The problem of decorating is a task which can be solved according to in- dividual taste and ability The tree can be decorated with ornaments and lights or equally beautiful results can be obtained by using nothing more than strings of lights with clean snow placed on the boughs. An extension cord running from an electrical outlet in the basement will supply the necessary current for the lights. TO HEAR DR. MANN Dr. Mann will address the members of the North Shore Congregation at the services in the Glencoe Masonic hall this evening. His subject will be "Hellenism and Judaism." See Bright Prospects for Trackmen at Northwestern First call for track athletes at North- western has brought out a likely-look- ing bunch of performers from which Coach Frank Hill will groom his team for the forthcoming indoor season. The return of a number of veterans together with the influx of some promising |; sophomores makes the track prospects at Northwestern brighter this year than for some time past, it is said. However, Coach Hill will sadly miss a number of able performers who were graduated last spring. Jim Davis in the two mile is gone. He was a con- sistent winner as was Clarence Cole in the middle distance. Gordon Canning, hurdler, and Harold Shick, in the sprints, will be greatly missed. Bill Campbell, who was a performer in the high jump, has left school.
