;ii 11 agreed to use their utmost ef
forts to confine Christmas giving, ex
cept for young children, to useful
articles and to spread the period for
holiday purchases over the months of
October, November, and December.
In order to relieve the transportation
facilities of the country from a con
gestion in the Interests of the nation
that It cannot be permitted, the retail
Interests represented at this hearing
have agreed o cooperate further in
the campVlgn heretofore and now
being carried on under the ausplnes
of the War Industries Board to re
strict deliveries and to Induce their
customers to carry their own pack
ages wherever possinle.
The retail interests to which re
ference hai been made have further
agreed to make an announcement to
the above substantial effect in their
advertisements commencing in early
September ami repeating same week
ly thereafter. The above suggestions
If faithfully and loyally put Into ef
fect throughout the country will
make possible a continuance of the
holiday custom without endangering
the national Interests thereby.
The Council of National Defense
will cooperate in carrying out the
suggested measures. It looks to or
ganized business bodies of every
nature and throughout the country
actively to Join In the movement as
providing means whereby that co
operation between the government
and the people can be had which
alone will permit the continuance of
holiday business In such form, on
such scale, and by such methods as
are consistent w'lth the national wel
iaru. This announcement is definit
ly conditioned upon loyul and thor
ough cooperation in spirit and In
letter on the part of sellers and buy
ers throughout the country.
The Oregon State Council of He-

tbu Council ol National Defense au
thorizes the following statement:
The Council of National Defense
iiaa heretofore emphasized the neces
sity of restricting Christmas buying
i.orlnx Uie coming fall for certain
wpeHflr. reasons which It has stated.
These reasons are In brief the neces
sity for saving labor and material In
the manufacture and sale of Christ
aa gifta and of saving the transport
iitlon and delivery facilities necessar
ily involved In the large volume of
Ctirfctma purchases.
After conference with representa
tives of leading Industries and retail
iutareats concerned, It is found that
he manufacture of goods for the
coming holiday season has been sub-
'tant tally completed, that the trans
portation of the goods to the point of
hi also largely one and that
much of the material used for ChrlBt-
purchases, especially In the
luufacture of toys, Is the waste
iterlal derived from prior pro-
tts or manufacture.
The retail Interests represented at
the conference have agreed not to iu-a-ease
their working force by reason
f Ilia holiday business over the aver

ASCRIBED TO FALLING STAR
Mystery Crater in Plain of Arizona Is
Thus Expiamed by Geologists
of Prominence.
About forty tulles from Flagstaff,
Atlz., In the midst of a gnat plain.
there Is a saucer-shaped hollow or
rater about Ihree-qiiarters of a mile
BCroaa ami dot) feel deep. The rim
of (he crater rises between lfjQ mid
-'(JO feet above the surrounding plain.
Itocky fragments are scattered about
for several miles around tl rater.
Among these rocks many fragments of
meteoric lion, - ntalnliig black
diamonds, have been found. The in
tier walls show that the crust of the
earth was broken whan the crater was
lormiii, yet no volcanic locks exist
there.
Geologists have offered theories to
account for this phenomenon, tine Is
Hint an Immense meteorite made the
hole, and Hint the meteoric fragments
mentioned ON remnants of the fulling
elar. Another theory ascribes the
origin of the crater to a tremendous
explosion of steam In the rocks be
neath, and a third combines the first
two by suggesting that the blow of a I
falling meteor, striking the earth's
crust at a point where Kiihtemineim
water bud accumulated in the neigh
borhood of healed rocks was the cause
of the explosion.
il green tomutes that have been
"touched'' by the frost are dropped
while still old into cool water and
allowed to stand for a while they are
less likely to spoil rapidly than If al
lowed to warm up more quickly.
