DON'T decorate the tree with lighted candles unless it's absolutely unavoidable. Carefully wired elec tric bulbs are much safer. DON'T place the tree near a stove or fireplace. DON'T leave a lighted tree un guarded at any time; you must be on the lookout for fires. DON'T use a rickety, unsafe lad der in decorating the tree. DON'T place Christmas candles near the tree, curtains, paper wreaths or other decorations. DON'T overlook the opportunity to make your tree fire-resistant. Ac City of New Orleans Likes Its Fireworks In Christmas Season Christmas without firecrackers just isn't Christmas down in New Orleans. "If anybody not got no firewo'k he mighty po'," say the Creoles gay ly. The more the fireworks, the better the Christmas on the lower side of Canal street. While other people are shooting off fireworks on July 4, New Or lecns is swelter ing under intense heat. Outside ac. tivities are out of the question. With noisy July 4 festivities out of the question, it was easy to be gin celebrating Christmas, instead, with the firing of skyrockets, Roman candles and firecrackers. Once start ed, there was no stopping it. Shooting starts several weeks be fore Christmas, and every night the tumult increases. Parents consist ently caution their children to save the firecrackers until the twenty fifth, because they won't get any more. The boys and girls refuse to believe this prophecy, but feel that Providence will not allow them to go crackerless. Even the almost penniless have firecrackers, but the more wealthy win the envy of others with their rockets. Enthusiasm is not limited to the young boys, but it is shared by the entire family. Boys and girls parade up and down the streets at night, making a racket with tin trumpets and "instruments" they picked up on the way. They ring doorbells, then run away with joyful laughter. The sky is lighted up with rockets and firecrackers beat a constant staccato. The fun begins again the next morning, with greater enthusiasm than ever. Although a boy may have bankrupted himself the day before, firecrackers have taken a great drop in price. He must have a new supply because they are cheap. Now the juveniles grow reckless. Whole packages of firecrackers eo off at one full blow; those who were firecracker boys yesterday are skyrocket boys today. As night comes on, the streets seem ablaze with ex plosives and colored rockets. The second morning after Christ mas the streets are strewn thick with burned pieces of fireworks; but the air is clear. The acrid odor ] of fireworks is again replaced by ' the perfume of Christmas roses. cording to the United States forestry service, you can do it this way: Divide the weight of your tree by four and buy that many pounds of ammonium sulphate. Dissolve it in water, one and a half pints to each pound of ammonium sulphate. Cut the end of your tree trunk on a diagonal, put some solution in a jar and stick the diagonal butt into the solution. Add solution as the tree drink j it up. DON'T be excessive about Christ mas; "spirits." DON'T leave toys exposed where people can trip on them. DON'T leave your tree in the house after it becomes dried out. DON'T allow steps and sidewalks to become icy in cold weather. During Christmas you'll probably I have many guests; sprinkle salt or sand in dangerous spots. DON'T drive carefully ? unless you want to live and enjoy 1041. Christmas Week Offers Chance to Predict Weather Weather prognosticators have found means of forecasting most of the coming year's weather by cocking an eye at the sky during Christmas week. You may not believe them, but here are a few of the varied?and conflicting? beliefs about Christmas weather: If the sun shines through the apple tree on Christmas day, there will be a good crop the following year. If ice will bear a man before Christmas, it will not bear a mouse afterward. Thunder and lightning Christ mas week means much snow in the winter. Wet causes more damage than frost before than after Christmas. If it snows Christmas night, the hop crop will be good next year. At Christmas meadows green, at Easter covered with frost. If windy Christmas day, trees will bring much fruit. Christmas wet gives empty granary and barrel. A green Christmas makes a fat graveyard. A warm Christmas, a cold Eas ter. A green Christmas, a white Easter. Tropical Christmas on the Islands in Hawaii IT'S asking a lot to expect people * born in temperate latitudes to get steamed up about Christmas in the tropics. But to children born on islands in the middle of the Pacific, Christmas is still?Christmas, writes Armine von Tempski in Cosmopoli tan. On the outlying islands in Hawaii, Cnristmas is carried in on horse back, and the jingle of paniolos' spurs replaces the imagined tinkle of Santa's merry sleigh bells. On Christmas eve some inner part of me waits and listens all night for the tramp of horses' hoofs, the ring ing of spurs, rich Hawaiian voices singing above resonant guitars and gay ukuleles; for cowboy serenad ers, riding from ranch to ranch. Like cadenced meles, which put an everlasting spell upon you, memo ries of Christmases spent on the sixty-thousand-acre cattle ranch my father managed on the slopes of Haleakala, the extinct volcano on the island of Maui, persist with un dying vividness. A fair number of persons, representing different races making up the sum total of humanity, participated in them. Americans, Hawaiians, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese and their cross ings assembled under our roof Christmas eve. Each group brought a flavor peculiarly its own to add to the Birthday of all birthdays. T T MUST be remembered, in your ? remaining prognostications and your selections that while American football is the greatest game ever invented when it comes to a mixture of spirit and skill, to condition, to player interest and to crowd excite ment, it is still an unbalanced game in the way of just rewards. The better team doesn't always win?not by 50 kilometers. I have talked this season with over 20 leading coaches about this phase of football, and they all agree. They admit that you can outplay another team badly ? along the ground and through the air?and still lose the ball game. I've located over Grantland Rice 40 teams this season who have made more yards along the ground and through the air and have had the better kicking, and still have lost. When two good teams meet, the breaks almost always car ry the winning story. Which means the llip of a coin. This is no indictment of football, as a game. It is the turn that gives the underdog his chance against bet ter fotHball people. It is the factor that gives its thrills to big crowds, which have realized there are few setups. First downs have become minor factors. On a recent Saturday 17 teams made more first downs and greater yardage?in many cases by decisive margins?and yet lost. It i3 something like nn open golf cham pionship with a vast roulette wheel spinning the answer. But it is stupid to say always that "the better team won." It is often truer to say, "The lucky team won." And most coaches know this. Calling the Turn The forward pass came along in 1906. That was 34 years ago. Four years later, some 30 years ago, I happened to be with Hurry-up Yost of Michigan and Bill Hanna, one of the star football writers who was a veteran when Frank Hinkey was a freshman at Yale. "This is a new game," Yost told us. "I've found at Michigan we can beat the second team by seven touchdowns on Tuesday, and fail to score on Wednesday. Passes and plays click one day. They don't the next. It's all different." That was 30 years ago. But Yost saw what was coming?a better game for the player, a far better game for the crowd, but no longer a game for past performance nor for accepted form. Yost at that time saw ahead how many better football teams were going to be beaten by underdogs, by minor teams. For Example, Minnesota This season Minnesota stepped into one of the toughest schedules of the year. I'd say the toughest. The Gophers barely scramb!ed by Washington, and I happen to know that both Jimmy Phelan and Wash ington thought they should have won ?with 30 per cent of the breaks. Ohio State had two easy chances to beat Minnesota and blew both, which is nothing to Buckeye credit. An intricate play called in the rain for a one-yard touchdown wasted one of them. One point after touchdown for Northwestern would have tied Min nesota. Two points after touchdown would have won. The point after touchdown is the cheap concassion from the rules committee to the crowd?not to the good of football. In the Michigan game the Wolver ines were all over the Gophers? something like 15 first downs to 5. Michigan that day was the better team on the field. But Minnesota won on a single play. Yet, I still say Minnesota has turned in the best job of the year, barring nobody, when you look at the Gopher schedule. Yet, without the breaks, Minnesota could easily have lost at least three ball games. Maybe four. "Minnesota this fall," a veteran Big Nine coach told me, "was like Iowa was last year. Iowa last year could easily have been beaten by Indiana, Minnesota, Purdue and No tre Dame, which Eddie Anderson knows. Notre Dame was la the same opot. Notre Dame on the day's play could easily have lost 10 both Army and Navy. When yon play tough schedules, anything can hap pen. "You've got to give Minnesota credit for taking the year's big gam ble?a gamble that even Minnesota might easily have lost three ways. But it has still been the big job of 1940."
