A very inter eating pWjKrtun was given at the Presbyterian church Saturday even ins. Thfr -program began with music by, the' ;$ujnda$r school orchestra. A very delightful vocal solo was suns by Miss LArhiine Brookmlller, the selec tion boijfc;"Oh Little Town of Bethle hem." jCter .this solo a speech of welcomftAvas 'given by Utile Miss Petersoitia primary, student. The main future of the eVening was clever IiJfo playlet, written by Miss Lilly Mfcy Foley, entitled "Christmas Eve In a; Toy Shop." Children of the different classes took the different parts. Miss Harriet Bcvington took the leading part of the shopkeeper's daughter, and Miss Mary Poley took the part of "The Little Poor Girl.' The dulls formed a very important part in. the playlet, and thette parts were taken exceedingly well. The play began when the shopkeeper's daugh ter brought the Little Poor Girl Into the shop and told her of Christmas and the story of Christ. They also told each other what sort of Christ mas they would each have. Then the shopkeeper's daughter told the Little Poor Girl the story that her grand mother' had told her, about how the dulls woke up and danced and played between the hours of 12 and 1. Just then the clock struck 12 and the dolls got up and paraded -around ihe room, sang "Holy Night' n'hd played until the clock struck one. Among the dif ferent dolls in the shop were: "The Kewplo Doll," which Bald "Mama the doll which said "Papa", a Negro rag doll that said "Baby," a "Raggedy Anne" doll, a "Japanese Doll" which sang, a "Tin Soldier" which saluted, a Jack-in-the-box which squeaked when it came out of its box, and a "French Doll." The shopkeeper's daughter and the Little Poor Girl see these different dolls doing their stunts and both are satisfied that what the grandma had said was true. Pricely at one o'clock all of the dolls .run to their places and become perfectly still. The program closed with anoth er selection by the Sunday school orchestra and when Santa Claus came in the room at the ridging of sleigh bells on the outside, and after making a short speech he gave treats to all the youngsters. This playlet was di rected by Mrs. Wilmer Poley and was declared by all to be wonderfully clever. Among the dolls were small children not over three years old and it was considered wonderful that these little children were so still during 4. he time when they were not supposed t be playing. The whole program was a great success and was very much enjoyed by all who attended. Mr. and Mrs. V. D. Miller and daughter are spending Christmas with friends and .relatives in Newberg, Ore.

The wii of govern ment forces on Ruin Row, seat of history's greatest smuggling opera tions, an activity that since laHt Janu ary, hns provided many thrilling stor ies of piracy, tragedy, comedy and battle, has netted a rich haul In ships, liquor and men. Conservative, unofficial estimates of the seizures by coas guards, customs and treasury department agents, pro prohibition agents and policemen de velop the following list: Small rum-running speed boatalGO Deep-sea craft 10 Seaplanes . 1 Motor vehicles 4 40 Men ..... 875 Cases of liquor v. 27.000 In addition to the seizures coast guards caused more Jhan 100 runners to Jettison their cargoes, averaging B0 cases to a boat. f . The monetary loss to smugglers through these captures Is estimated at about (5,000,000. but they only laugh at this, claiming the moss to be but "a drop in the bucket" Worn pared to Uie gnin of successful operations. Runi4Hmuggling, . begun on a. small scale off the New Jorsey coast In 1921, was extended all along the Atlantic seaboard in 1922, and the first big an chorage of rum-carriers established In the waters south of Ambrose Light ship last January establshed the now famous Rum Row, "tt-locntlon desir able for the runners of Long Island as well as for those, of New Jersey. Nineteen rum boats,' including three Steamers, were parked on the Row at the height of the January trade, and since that time there has been, always at least one rum 'carrier out theer doing business. Coast guard boats launched the campaign against the runners In the first month, seized at least a dozen of the craft, and smuggling became a hazardous game. Fedoral agents ashore began con certed operations against the motor truck runners, and many rich prizes fell Into theb hands. Still tho business continued. The gaps made in the run nera' ranks by captures filled like a hble dug In dry sand. Captures In creased In number, . smuggling tn creased In volume. , In the summer months a seaplane was employed by the runners on tho Loug Island shore for scout work. Ono day the seaplane, disabled, made a forced landing near a coast guard station and was captured. Some of the bigger craft of tho smugglers became venturesome then and were caught close inshore. Mor ning was unfolding two months ago when the coast guards-cutters on rum patrol sighted the Tomoka, a British schooner, about six miles off the Jer sey beach. They chased her through haze, overhauled her and took her captain and crew, and "Rummy BUT McCoy, the king of rum smugglers. A- Week later the Dragon, a palatial cabin cruiser equipped with radio wireless, was captured. She Is said to have been the mother-boat of the swarm of small-runners, her duties being to warn them of Impending danger and the whereabouts of the government craft. The latest seizure of consequence, the Dutch auxiliary schooner Zoe- hond, ended the career of the trans port used by "Mannie" Kessler, tho bootlegger king, the shore rival of McCoy. Kessler soon Is to -go to At lanta to serve a term for conspiracy to violate the prohibition laws. RELIGIOUS TRUCE TO BE A BRIEF AFFAIR NEW YORK. Dec. 24. Indications today were that after the "Christmas truce," in the Protestant Episcopal church tho controversy between mod ernists and conservatives would rage with renewed vigor. Dlshop W. T. Manning's request for tho truce was generally observed yea terday but reference to the contro versy was made in oopies .circulated yesterday of the sermon delivered by the Itev. Dr. Leighton Parks at St. Bartholomew's a week ago yesterday and by the 'Rev.: Dr. William, "Norman Guthrie, . pastor' of St. Murk's In the Uowery In discussing the1 bible.
