It. W. Lancashire is well known la
Toledo, O., as the Dodge ltrothers
deajer, but he Is perhaps bettor known
t least among the Juvenile population
xt the city, as "Santa Claus,"
Several yeara ago Mr. Iancashl-e
decided to test the appetites of Tole
do's kids by Riving; away 5,0v0 crate
of oranges. The crowd that as
esmblod on the day of the distribution
almost wrecked his salesrooms. So.
the next year he made it 10.000 crates
and made his dlsibuMon in the
Amory. Ajsaln the young mob turned
system upside down and the 10.000
crates were gone long before half the
ttpplicants had "formed In line." Thl
year the story Is going to be different.
There will be 0,000 crates md the
children will be admitted HO at a U"e?
Ino- a specali room In Toledo's huge
Terminal building, where they w i'.l
help themselves and pass out. Free
street car tickets are being given
away at corner drug stores by the
Toledo Light & Rail Co., which will;
rut on a rush hour schedule while'
the distribution Is la progress. Aftfjr
the big "giveaway - there wui oe
private distributions for sick and crip-
pled children, orphans and others
who cannot go to the Terminal build
ing with the crowd.
Orange Day has come to be recog
nised by all Toledo as one of its big
gest annual events. Mr. Lancashire
is referred to everywhere as Orange
Santa Claus. The 1920 "Orange Day"
will take place on December 19.
To clinch his claim oa the lasting
admiration of every boy and girl in
Toledo, Mr. Lanrasaire has "fixed it"
with the Toledo postoffice to turn
over to him every piece of mail ad
dressed to "Santa Claus." It may
not be generally known to old men
who have forgotten when they were
kids, but the number of such letters
in the sverage American city reaches
an enormous total. In Toledo there
ire about 2,000 every Christmas.
Lancashire tVtes the letter, looks over
the list of gifts requested; and sees
that the youngster gets at least a pan
of what he asked for. With the girts
goes a friendly letter telling the boy
of girl that his request to Santa
Claus got ia too late for the North
Pole Train and that it had therefore
been turned over to the Orange Santa
Claus. . ..
IMS, 0PM
(Taken from the Reno, Nev. News)
While the crowds were awaiting the
arrival of the bandvi on the state
' house grounds Sunday afternoon,
J Aviators Herbert Willingham and L.
Httfc Wells ia their big Curtisg, airplane
'came hopping over the trees from the
J ; west. With a road the big machine
swooped down below the top. of the
capitoldome and tipping on one wing
; swerved around the hug. tower. Dip
ping, dodging high buildings and flag
poles and smokestacks, sideslipping
and ducking down Into space between
buildings these flyers exhibited a
most daring series of stunts for the
crowds.
The railing around the Peak of the
dome was crowded with visitors to
Topeka. When the big airplane
swooped around the dome there was a
natural Inclination on the part of t!e
spectators above to dodge back into
the portection of the housing. It was
an unusual experience for the dome
occupants to see an airplane flying
below.
After ten minutes of low stunt fly
ing the aviators did acrobatics on the
wings, on the running gear and from
parts of the plane. Wells, the wing
walker, stood on the tips of the wings
and waved to the crowd below as the
monster Curtlsa roared thru the air.
Later the daredevils rose to several
thousand feet and did the falling leaf
to within 1,500 feet, where they loop
ed to the level of the dome once more.
A few mare Iserjiational flirtations
with roofs and tree tops and they
soared away to the field west of the
city.

UNABLE TO PAY TAXES
THE DALLES. Or., Dee. 11. With
delinquent taxes totaling $25,409.19 at
the close of tax collections in Wasco
county It Is apparent that many ranch
ers In the county are hard hit by the
recent slump in the wheat market.
Last year's delinquent taxes at this
time totaled $13,000.
Claud S- Knight, who Is In charge,
of tax collection in the county, is of'
the opinion that the greater part ofj
these delinquent taxes will be paid;
bhould wheat quotations continue to
rise. Wheat sales at the present quo
tation will allow the farmers Just
about to break even on their harvest,
they say. The high wages which)
Wasco county farmers were compelled
to pay during the last harvest is said j
to be one of the reasons for the re!a-j
lively high cost of wlieat production!

HATS.
i$ 4 4, 4p'$fybt'fy'bQ-4'i
Never buy a hat when you are very
tired. Nothing will look good to you
then, and in your despair you are a pt j
to select something unbecoming . The
hat you are to wear for a season de
serves careful selection. Take time
to study Its effect from the front, side
and rear. Be cure the color Is ap
propriate for your complexion and
that It will match or suit the gar
ment to be worn with It. Notice If the
rim Is too wide for your height, or the
length for your neck. If short necked
or short In figure, you should not wear
a wlde-brlmmed hat or It will make
you look squatty. A rimless hat
makes a tall person appear too tall.
Obse-ve your reflection wearing the
hat in the full length mirror as the
hnt should be Judged as a part of you
and not merely appropriate to your
head. ,
Ask the mllllper to wait on others
and let you have time to think over
nnd Pitudy and get used to the hat for
a little while. It Is a good plan to take
with you some Mend of good taste
who will frankly give you her opinion
of the selection you are about to
make.
Have at home a fHWn? place to put
rwoy your hat so that It will keen Its
shane. If It Is of velour or Tqlvet and
has become snotted with rain or dust,
It can be renovated by holding over
steam and brushing with a good
bristle hat brush. Frequent brushing

PIECING.-
There are two kinds of piecing; the
piece which Mother gives when Young
America comes from school, and th
odds and ends to which he helps him
"elf ut any and all hours of the day.
The former Is to be encouraged If
wisely ndml!iltered, but the latter N
tho enemy of well nourishment. N
ture has arranged that most of her
affairs ate carried ou rythmlcalty
the tides of the ocean with their ebb
and flow, the day with Its sunshine
and darkness, the seasons, and the
heart bents. All rocs with work and
systematic.
That delightful organism, the Child,
's no exception to the rule, or should
not be. He should take tin food, digest
iL ,(,st grow hungry. There Is more
' thls which makes tho simple UIhIi
111 ror a which prompts one to
''t whobwme, nourishing food and
or ran. wnaiever happens to como
the afternoon, he should bo given a
sandwich, an organe, an apple, or a
dish of prunes
The piece should not be so plentiful
as to spoil the appetite for the next
meal. It should, however, bo some
thing substantial which will supiy a
and eradicate many disease germs
which find entrance Into the system.
Irregularity of eating, breaking
ture's rythm, causes Irregularity ol
elimination, and this Is a cause of
poor health.
One of the worst of our' children's
bad habits Is tho eating of can''"
' '"' '"""fks Just before a meal v '--n
really hungry. This spoils -
tlte for other food and too little Is
eaten at the meal to last long an'
the child Is soon hungry again, and
regularity Is upset. The same r""-
Ing applies to tho eating of the des-t
before the first course, as most chil
dren will do If allowed their own way.
Tho wisest rule is that o-lglnatcl
by two tiny tots: "Eat all your bad
dest things flrxt and after that your
goodefit."
