‘‘‘PETTY RACKETS"

Some more of the things that are
presented to the business man al
most daily!
CHARITY APPEALS, through
which you are urged to buy books
or other commodities because the
benefits are going to charitable in
stitutions; when the charitable in
stitution does participate, the amount
is pitifully small. At any rate, you
sre expected to pay a very large
price for the goods received.
REGISTERS, TRADE DIRECTO
RIES, ETC. are frequently real
"‘Rackets.” Some of these schemes
go so far as to secure orders for
large amounts of advertising when
the unsuspecting customer thinks
he is simply filling out a question
naire.
SHERIFF’S AND POLICE OF
FICER’S PUBLICATIONS are handl
ed frequently by promoters who as
sume the business of getting out
such magazines wjthput any aur
thority. In certain instances, they
have gone so far as to organize)
and conduct a convention at which
they will have a few peace officers
and for which thousands of dollars
in advertising have been secured.
TRADING BOOKS AND COU
PONS permit many promoters to
get therein both ways, On trade dis
counts and prizes, charging the
merchants to handle the contract,
frequently selling coupons to con
sumers, and then failing to make
good. At best, the merchant is left
with the bag to hold paying dis
counts he cannot afford without
getting extra trade.
WHAT TO DO
Refuse to sign contracts or pur
chase or contribute and call the
Chamber of Commerce, 167, when
ever any of these strangers show
up. Tell the solicitor simply that
you only deal with thoroughly in
vestigated propositions. This plan

Pontiff To Speak On
Christmas Eve
Despite Orders To Rest, Catholic
Ruler Plans To Address
World.
Vatican City, Dec. 21 Pope Pius
XI decided today to speak to the
world on Christmas eve.
The holy father, despite reiterat
ed physicians’ orders for complete
rest, ordered Father Soccorsi, the
Vatican radio director, to prepare
a broadcast from 12:30 p. m., Rome
time, Thursday, (6:30 a. m. eastern
standard time.)
A microphone will be set up in
the pope’s stiidy, next to his bed
room. He will be carried to his desk
and placed in an armchair for the
talk.
Vatican doctors expressed concern
lest the pope overexert himself and
impair his recovery from his slight
attack of paralysis and his congest
ed circulatory condition. But the
pontiff, who was persuaded to can
cel his traditional reception of car
dinals on Christmas eve, was de
termined on the broadcast.
Usually he seizes the occasion of
the reception to sum up his joys
and sorrows of the year. In the lat
ter category is the bloody Spanish
war. The broadcast Thursday will
give the holy father an opportunity
to express his deep emotion over
that conflict.
An informed Vatican source said
his holiness passed a very difficult
night last night. He slept very little
and his physician was summoned
three times.

parent says, “Son, brace yourself.
This is going to hurt me as much
as it hurts you. But there isn’t any
Santa Claus.”
2. The demonstration method.
Daddy dresses up in the red garb
of Santa, frolics with his children,
unmasks to show them who Santa
is or isn’t.
3. The legend method. Mother had
better take this one. She relates the
story of St. Nichols and gently ex
plains Santa is a beautiful myth but
that his spirit of generosity is the
real thing.
