Of her will be born the long awaited Messiah EMANUEL or GOD WITH US being anoth er of His names. He was to have no father. How could this ba, asks Mary?

Get back Into the center of the loop then we've got the wedding ring. The wedding ring leads us right down to the spoke dance. A described in the chapter on how to get out of the wedding ring, start to lower the spoke, but instead of step ping out of the loop, raise the left leg at least 10 Inches, al lowing the spoke to pass under neath the foot. When you are sure you are clear of it, quickly drop your left foot with all your weight, for now, in a split second, you'll have to lift the right foot to allow the spoke to pass under this foot also. Then lift the left foot again and repeat the above several times. Your rhythem in this trick is fox-trot time. In practicing the spoke dance, try to spin your rope as slow as possible, for you will find that there is a lot of action in this trick and natural ly the faster you spin the loop, the faster you must hop the spoke. Thin Is the trick that builds up good sturdy legs and for those of us who are Inclined to eat a little too much and do too little exercising, may I sug gest a few attempts to learn the spoke dance. I'll guarantee that even if you don't master the trick, you will loose a lot of unnecessary weight and feel one-hundred per cent better. Alio, with this type of exercise, you may eat what you desire and as much as you wish. In my next and concluding lesson in this series I will de scribe "The Juggle." This is another trick that is very spec tacular, and while it Is not as strenuous as the spoke dance, after you master it, you will find that it gives you a good workout Remember that I'm personal ly interested in each one of you rope spinners and like to hear from you. Drop me a line in care of this newspaper and let me know how you are pro gressing. I would also like to meet you so if it is possible, meet me in the M-W Corral at the Montgomery Ward store here in Klamath Falls, where I'll be until Christmas. -Your Pal, .

VIEWED WASHINGTON, Dec. 21 (AP) The possibility of Import con trol by the United States a hitherto unlooked for step in foreign trade regulation aroused considerable speculation Friday. The first guarded hint that any such idea was under con sideration came from Colonel Russell L. Maxwell, administra tor of export control, during a review of the work done by his six-months old agency in pre venting vital defense materials from being shipped out of the country. "Many student of the situ ation, experts in their fields, have pointed out" he said, "that the control of imports as well as exports, is a major problem re quiring early solution." . This bare one-sentence refer ence to the subject occurred at the end of the 2,000 word prog ress report he delivered last night. There was no amplifi cation and, with one exception, available government officials professed lack of knowledge on any plans to impose import con trols. One source, however, said the matter was being given serious study and that while action should not be considered Immi nent, something might be done In the future. He was asked what purpose would be served by such a move, inasmuch as the United States, unlike warring nations today, was not under pressure to conserve exchange, or. to dis courage the purchase of so- caiied luxury goods from other nations. The reply was that imposition of an import control system would provide the United States with another economic weapon which could be employed if events dictated. AUTHORS OF -SANTA LETTERS ASK THE BOOK PORTLAND, Dec. 21 CF The Salvation Armv InnwrtpH mnn than 100 letters to Santa r.lau diverted from the postoffice wim mixed emotions Friday and remaricea that their authors ran the gamut from the very humble to the very haushtv. One boy wrote smugly that he had been "very good" and "expected a cowboy suit bicycle pony, train airplane" and ap parently everything else' he could think of, bothering neither to open with a "Dear Santa" nor ciose witn a "thank you." At the other extreme a girl asked St Nicholas to "please try to make it to our house this time" and requested that her child's desires be gratified with "a table and some chairs, a sheet and pillow case, and some knives and forks." A boy who said he was four wished Santa a Merry ' Christ mas but asked for nothing, and a girl was solicitous for his chil dren's health up there at the norm role.

L SEATTLE, Dec. 21 Mr Cash registers are ringing up tha big gest volume of Christmas trade in history in Seattle and most of the Pacific northwest, regional headquarters of Dun and Brad street reported Friday. The mercantile agency said re ports from department store contained news of record-breaking sales and in some instances, in Seattle and Tacoma, they were running 13 to 20 per cent ahead of the boom days of 1929. All lines of goods are moving so swiftly, Dun's said, that some stocks have already been deplet ed while other inventories are exceptionally low. It said heavy Christmas shop ping started earlier than in any previous year and was contin uing at an increased clip. Dun's flatly predicted a 1941 business boom for most of the Pacific northwest based princip ally on the state's half a billion dollars worth of defense orders. New . passenger automobile sales were, running nearly 30 per cent ahead of last year in Washington and Oregon; carload inga are the best In a decade. Christmas mail was the heav iest In Seattle postoffice history, with special trains being order ed out to take care of the In creased freight Dun's said a preliminary sur vey showed that on a compara tive basis, Seattle . department store sales were running ahead of those in other coast cities.
