Christmas Eve Caroling Observed In 1,154 Cities Survey by the \iftional Hitreau for Advancement of Music Shous Wonder Jul Growth it I Delightful Old Ynletide Custom from a Total of Only ,'il Cities in 191H New York. November 15 ? From a traceable total of thirty in 1918 the number of cities and towns in the United-States that observe the fine old custom of outdoor Christ mas caroling had increased In 1922 to 1,154. according to an elaborate' survey Just Issued by the National Bureau?for Hw Ailf nu emeiii?af~ muslc from its offices In New York. It Is expected that Christmas of now less than two months away, will be greeted by merry carolers In close to 2,000 communities iu every State In the Union. The survey of convenient size and appropriately printed in green and red In the Yuletide spirit, is headed, "Christmas Caroling in 1922." A short history of outdoor caroling; in the United States as revealed In the bureau's records is givcu. fol-' lowed by a map of the United States,* on which, In red. Is indicated nil, towns and cities in which cnt'oiiug groups sang* throughout the streets. In parks, nubile squares., etc., in De-, Cenvber 1922. Following that Is a pointed complete list, alphabetically arranged according to the bureau's records, the custom was observed last year. "Ten years ago. * pays tho Ad vancement Bureau in its survey, "outdoor ChrMmns Eve Caroling, especially by itinerant groups through the streets of town and vil lage. w:ajs almost unknown In this country. The beautiful old custom that had once been universul In Eng land hnd nil but died. "The widespread adoption of tin*! Community Christmas Tree did much, to bring the c-irols to public attention again. Yet the singing of the charming old Yuletldo songs for the public benefit was nil too In frequent nnd the genernl absence of the 'waits.* tlie traveling 'bands of carolers, In their picturesque rod cambric capon, was particularly re grettable. "The National Bureau for the Advancement of Music, which Is in terested in extending more widely the influence nnd utilization of music among the American people., ?aw In the Christmas caroling one of the most inspiring uses of song, > as <i satisfaction to the singer, a Joy to the community, and a means of expressing the Christmas spirit. In 1917, therefore, shortly after its own Inception, the Bureau, at the Hug began working actively for the coun try-wide expansion of the custom. It pointed as n model to the splen did organization for Christmas singing that has been worked out on a city wide scale In Detroit. As I a further aid to the movement the Bureau Issued Its booklet. 'Christ mas Eve Caroling Being Revived.' giving a brief outline of the history of the custom and instruction* for procedure to those interested in carrying out the pl-in locally. "By this time the movement had made considerable advance, :ind in Ihu flrnt edition of the booklet, year after- efforts were made to re vive the movement, 30 cities and towns in which the outdoor caroling, had been introduced were included. There were undoubtedly more than this numebr. but the Bureau had not full facilities for tracing them. By the time the second edition was published in October 1920, the list was more than trebhled and.lt has continued to grow with astounding rapidity ever since, as the following figures taken from the bureau's record will show: 30 cities and towns Dec. 1918 110 cities and towns Dor. 1919. | n.??n cities nnd towns Dec. liSO. 667 cities nnd towns Dec. 1921. 1 l.p>4 citi' S nnd towns Dec. 1922 "The total for 1922 does not in clude 300 cities and towns In the | prevloua surveys lrom which no re-.j i ports were received as to 1922. Un doubtedly a large percentage of them observed the custom. "The response of the public scat tered from coast to coast and from the Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico, furnishes convincing evi dence that the outdoor Christmas caroling has struck ?i popular cord uLd fulfills a prpular desire. "Some of the cities were large. oth? rs small. Some had caroling enough to cov**r the entire area. others for but one or two dis tricts; while in still others earols w. r? sung around the Christina? tre.? only. The information was gathered from newspaper clippings nom all parts of th*' country, as ,well as ?y direct correspondence, it-1 it is probable that many cities were overlooked. No places were included where the caroling was simply an indoor or church event." New York led all slates in the trimber of towns and cities reported a?? having observed the, caroling custom !n lf?22. Its total was 111. !'? ::n>ylvania was.second with 93.

The District of Columbia and Alaska also appear. The number of annual obser vances. as indicated by the list, run from one to five.

The use ot these special mixtures is very liable to result in false econ omy, failures and waste on bake day. Remember there is a big difference, in many ways, between biscuits and other bakings made from these so-called self-rising flours and those made from good plain (lour and a de pendable leavener. Try the experiment?make a baking from each? convince yourself. You will find the baking made from flour and baking powder far more attractive in appearance. It will raise higher? retain its full food value and taste better. For best results, do not fail to use Calu met, the Economy Ilaking Powder, and a reliable brand of plain flour.
