About a thousand students pa raded the streets of Milan for an hour behind Italian and Finnish flags. "Viva Finlandia," they shouted, urging resistance to the soviet at tack.

The Rome demonstration by a thousand students was the second anti-soviet demonstration here within three days. Police dispersed the crowd be- 1 fore the Finnish legation after students had rushed upstairs to the apartments of the minister, Eero Jarnefelt, and brought him to the balcony three times to bow and thank them in the Finnish language., "Resist!' Fight!" the demon strators shouted before they were moved along by police.

NDRTH CAROLINA diers, by blocking off surround ing streets, prevented another demonstration such as occurred Saturday when a crowd of 3,000, some of them uniformed fascists, shouted antl-bolshevist slogans to front of the soviet embassy. A group of several hundred students, marching past the United States embassy toward the Russian embassy, applauded Con sul-general Graham Kemper and members of his staff who appear ed on balconies. 1 Italian newspapers continued to express sympathy for Finland with headlines which emphasized Finnish military success and al most ignored Russian t communi ques.

Christmas Play —# — | By Katherine Edelman THE town hall wa"s wreathed with holly and mistletoe. Bright red bells hung 'from the old-fashioned chandeliers. Christmas candles sent their soft glow into the night. The whole place cried out welcome to the crowd who thronged through the doors. By eight o'clock every seat was occupied. Small gossip and mur murs of expectancy ran through the crowd. The little town was proud of the boy who was taking the lead ing part in the play. They had known Ted Rawlings all their lives. Known him as an easy-going lad, in terested in nothing more than fish ing and hunting around the coun try, and later as an astonishingly changed ambitious fellow. No one seemed to understand how the quick transition occurred. All eyes turned to the stage as the heavy curtain rolled upward. Three hundred pairs of eyes fastened themselves upon the moving, speak ing figures. "Isn't Ted wonderful," young girls whispered breathlessly to each other. Between acts, thun- | ' f( M Jb I^v2v! "Ted, you were perfectly wonder ful," Sally was saying. derous bursts of applause filled the room. Hands clapped with vehe mence. Small boys made their ap proval known by shrill whistling. Ted carried the audience with him, every step of the way. He seemed to enter, to merge himself completely in the character he por trayed, His make-believe was so in tense in the last act, that there was a deep silence for a moment when the final curtain fell. FOR the time it was no make believe to Ted. He was living again all the agony of parting, of seeing Sally Howard go away with out a word. He had been sure until her train pulled out that she would come and say how sorry she was for the bitter, reproachful words she had hurled at him. Words that had left their mark upon his soul— that had stung him into a mad, am bitious desire to show her what he could do. He found no real satisfaction in the tumultuous applause that fol lowed. In this hour of his triumph, his heart cried out for Sally. If only she was here! If only she had cared! He scarcely knew what he was saying in answer to the lavish congratulations. Suddenly small hands pressed tightly around his arm, and a re membered voice spoke in his ear. "Ted, you were perfectly wonder ful," Sally was saying, "wonderful, wonderful. I'm so proud—so proud of you." "But, Sally, I don't understand. I thought you were in New York." "I was, until last night. I've been keeping track of you. I knew all about the play, and—and the way you have been working lately. I wouldn't'have missed this for any thing in the world." "But the things you said, Sally? They hurt—they still do." "I wanted them to hurt, Ted. I know—l know it was cruel, but there seemed no other way. Someone had to give you the right kind of push to get you going. You know you were really lazy? But now, well, you've really put on speed." "Nothing like the speed I'm go ing to show in getting ready for a Christmas wedding. There's Just two days left We've got to make It a really big event Let's give out the announcement now—while the crowd Is still in the hall." The Firct Santa Clans The first Santa Claus was St. Nich olas, Bishop of Myra, who started mysterious midnight gift-bearing Journeys. In the Fourth century he was famous because he was a rich man who enjoyed giving secret gifts to the poor. One of his tricks was to throw purses of gold* into cottage windows and run away.
