O called Timmy wrot to Santa
and said all h& wanted for Christ
mas was some
chlc whisk
ers and a "gee
tar" so he could
look ilka Elvis
Presley,
The lad added
a postsc r i p t:
"My mommy
told me I ought
to know better."
o That letter
Svouad up like a great many
otrrs-in the dead letter office,
rRo discredit to Timmy. It hap-
'pens all the time.
Mfst of the memos addressed
0 to thoman with the white under
chin stubble and the- fat round
bell get the same treatment.
Q The dead letter office gets
o letters to Mr. S. C. in large
biiridles every day, most of them
O addressed to the North Pole,
where we hav. hardly any post

One youngster named' Tony

' Can't I," he asked, ' trade her

childish hand l&ttering and oth
ers dictated by their elders, are
pathetic. Others are on the hu
morous side.
A little girl named Diana
wrote: "Will you please bring
mama a "bathrobe and some
slappers and if you have time
you could add me a pair of rid
ding botts."
A girl named Pearl wants
some "soup and some dishes to
cook 'em in. And mommy said
I need underware cause all my
pantsies have holes."
Santa Gats Gifts
Santa gets his loot, too.
A lot of letters contain cookies,
some even money.
One child enclosed a dime for
the relief of the refugees from
Hungary, "which I have been
saving up for." Another put in a
dollar for "Santa's helpers, who
deserves it." Neither of these
two fine kids asked for anything
for themselves."
Boy named Mike wrote four
letters. All in one .envelope. He
saved postage, too. He didn't
even put a stamp on it.
Mike's letters, in order, or
dered Mr. Claus to deliver a cow,
a tractor, a big car and a "great
big hach ett."
Little Patty perhaps was full
of the milk of human kindness
when she asked:
"Santa, please leave me be..
But my mommy wants a big, big,
kuukoo clock."

Frilled Dragon Shown
At Zoo in San Diego
San Diego, Calif. (U.P.)
One of the few frilled dragons
to enter the United States now
is on exhibition at the San Diego
Zoo.
This bizarre reptile was
brought here from Australia. It
received its name from its ex
tendible frill or cape which nor
mally lies along its shoulders
and sides, attached" to the sides
of its head by elongated bones.
When angered the dragon rai
ses its scaly frill fanwise about
its head at the same time open
ing its mouth and hissing.
Claus' shoulder for a long time,
a couple of decades but there is
a clinker among the uncooked
coal. This same young man keeps
asking for some bullets and a
good sharp knife."
That guy must be pushing 30
at least, by now.

Judge's Judicial
Patience Tried
Cleveland, O. (U.PJ -When
newly appointed Federal Judge
Paul Weick heard, his first crim
inal case here, he ran into a test
of his judicial patience and pru
dence. Robert Geiger, 32, could not
enter a plea because he had lost
his voice. His attorney explained
that the accused forger was a
victim of "anxiety neurosis."
Weick took a fatherly attitude 1
toward the defendant and coun- j
seled him not to be frightened. '
With the judge's reassurance, i
Geiger managed to utter a barely ;
audible "guilty" for cashing his
divorced wife's tax refund
check.
