thanksgiving
In Plymouth colony the first
dreadful winter, during which
almost one half of the pil-
grims had died, had passed
and new hope grew with the
slimmer. With the fall, the
corn crop was gathered and
Governor Bradford decreed a
day for Thanksgiving. The
women boiled, baked and
roasted. Children were busy
turning the roasts on the
spits. Their guests were the
Indians who brought turkey
and venison. The Pilgrims set
big tables out of uoors and
the company gathered as one
big family. The first Thanks-
giving was not only a feast but
there were prayers, sermons
and songs of praise. For three
days they gave thanks to
God.
During the Revolutionary
War eight special Thanksgiv-
ing days were observed" and
in 1.789 President Washington
delivered a Thanksgiving pro-
clamation. In the same year
:he r-'mscopal Church announe-
nd the first Thursday in No-
vember as the regular annual
day for Thanksgiving, unless
another day would be appoint-
ed by civil authorities.
There was no uniformity in
the - rates. Some would ob-
•;«>vv< it and others wouldn't,
"r H-'i-ah Hale took an in-
interest in this subject and
silent twenty years trying to
make this a nation-wide holi-
day. Finally her efforts were
rewarded, and in 1863 Pre-
sident Lincoln proclaimed the
last Thursday in November as
Thanksgiving Day.

pOVVER and glory,
Greatness and gold;
That is our story,
Proudly retold
Let every steeple
Boast with its bell;
We are the peopl
We have done well.
$
/
So we sing, loudly,
In our own praise,
Surveying proudly
All of our days.
Yet, all around us
Shadowy hosts
Rise to confound us—
Pioneer ghosts!
Every Thanksgiving
Heightens our pride;
All people living
Envy our stride.
We are the wealthy
Kings of the earth,
Stalwart and healthy,
Knowing our
God of Compassion,
Seated on high,
Help us re-fashion
Our haughty cry.
Let us be humble
Let us be just,
Lest we should stumble
Down to the dust.
Theirs was the weeping,
Theirs was the pain;
Ours is the reaping,
Ours is the gain;
This is the morrow
Longed-for of old,
Won by their sorrow,
Hunger and cold.
For busy cities and peaceful plains,
For shining towers and golden hoard,
For dead men's losses and live men's gains
Accept our humble thanks, Oh Lord.

conference, and lust winter Coolidge
summoned ""him back to attend'the
Pan-American congress. He is thor-
oughly familiar with conditions in
Kurope and South America through
long residence on both continents.
In addition, he has three brothers,
who own large mines in Nicaragua.
Colonel AV. J. Donovan of Buffa-
lo, N. Y., World War hero and pres-
ent assistant attorney general is be-
lieved to be Hoover's choice for at-
torney general. -Donovan visited
Hoover at the latter's Palo Alto
home shortly before lie sailed, mak-
ing the trip from the Atlantic coast
to California in a plane. He is an
Irishman and a Catholic.
Treasury Secretary Andrew Mel-
lon can retain his post if he wants
it, according to the dopesters. There
is no love lost between Mellon and
Hoover, but reports say that the
president-elect wouldn't care to
boot hi mout. Further, Uncle Andy
is said to like the job and to be
perfectly content to remain.
Dr. Julius Klein, present assistant
secretary of commerce and one of
the world's greatest oxperts on
trade relations, and Julius Barnes,
Chicago, seem in the lead for the
commerce post, with tbe edge ap-
parently favoring Klein. Hoover,
during his tenure there, leaned
heavily 011 Klein on questions of
foreign trade, opening many new
outlets for American-made goods.
James W. Good, one of Hoover's
campaign managers, seems to be in
line for postmaster-general, the post
thut controls many of the political
plums with which campaign debts
have been paid in the past. Ray Ly-
nian Wilbur of Stanford University,
a brother of Navy Secretary Curtis
D. Wilbur, is being mentioned
strongly as the latter's successor.
Secretary of Agriculture Jardine
is definitely out of the running. His
'health is broken and he wants a
rest. Several men have been men-
tioned as possible successors, but
none of those so far brought to light
appear very likely. There is rumor
that Hoover will choose a mid-
westerfn farjn leader whose name
has not thus far been mentioned in
connection with the job.
As for the War Department and
the Interior Department—well, one
mail's guess is as good as another's.

note.)
synthetic gasoline
Tf you're worried what your
auto is going to run on in that
non-distant day when gaso-
line supplies begin to expire,
take courage from the words
of delegates to the interna-
tional conference on bitumi-
nous coal; at the Carnegie In-
stitute of Technology, Pitts-
burgh.
A German tells how synthe-
tic gasoline is made by com-
bining hydrogen and coal. An-
other tells of an internal com-
bustion engine that uses pow-
dered coal for its fuel—and
does right well with it, too.
Still another says that powder-
ed rice husks make excellent
fuel for such engines. Peat
dust is also spoken of as a
good substitute.
We may be burning some
curious things in our autos
some day, but evidently we'll
go rolling along as cheaply
and powerfully as we do now,
gasoline or no gasoline.

Rebecca West, English nov-
elist. returns to London after
visiting America with a dis-
tressing tale about the hard-
shins of the American woman.
Most Americans, she says,
"live in skyscrapers with their
women perched high in the air
where they can't keep a dog,
much lss keep a family.
Lives of American women ma-
terially inclined thus become
tragic, she says. .
This is a saddening picture,
and would be alarming if it
were true. But, as anybody

as unvarying as peas
The performance of your motor, win-
ter and summer, when fueled with
Phillips '66', will be found as un-
varying as peas in a pod.
That's bccausc the volatility* of Phil-
lips '66' sold during the cold weather
is greater than that sold in warm
weather. The correct varying of the
volatility for the season and the cli-
mate means unvarying performance—
always—yet ar no increase in price
over regular gasoline.
A trial will make you a satisfied user.
Make that trial today^/
"Liquid gasoline must be vaporized
before it can be burned in an engine.
Volatility refers to tbe ability Of
gasoline to vaporize.
