pire the firm, clear voice of His
Majesty King George was thrown
yesterday in one of the largest md
most successful wireless broadcasts
ever attempted. ,
From his armchair in Sandring-
ham House the King sent his
Christmas greetings and from all
over the world, came word of suc-
cessful reception.
King's Message
"Through one of the marvels of
modern science, I am enabled this
Christmas Day to speak to all my
peoples throughout the Empire,”
His Majesty declared.
“I take it as a. good ornen that
wireless should have reached its
present perfection at a time when
the Empire is linked in closest
uuioli, for it offers us immense
possibilities to make that union
closer still. _
“It may be that our future will
lay upon us more than one stern
test. Our past will have taught us
how to meet it unshaken.

which we all are equally bound is

Vcry similar to the Canadian

"Merry Christmas." The Yule log
rules the day lu Serbia, which is
nearly 100 per cent orthodox, and
the people say “Christ is Born."
The customs of the orthodox pop-
ulation, very plcturcsque, stretch
back into the misty past. The
mornilig before Christmas the boys
of the family go out to seek the
Yule tree. One boy kneels before
some fine little oak and says an
old prayer. Then he throws s lit-
tie wheat into the branches, and
kisses a. branch, which is cut off
first.
This branch is later put into
can of milk to make sure that until
next Christmas the cream will be
heavy.
` Bolemnly, then, the tree is cut
down and carried home. Father

Poor “Business ”
At Reno In 1932
(Associated Press)
RENO, Nev., Dee. 26-The busi-
ness of making the unhappily wed
single and happy again fell off so
markedly during 1932 that Reno
wondered today if, after all, there
might not be some truth in the old
saying about two being able to live
cheaper than one.
At least that was the only con-
clusion Reno attorneys could reach
as they sought an explanation of
why some 1,500 fewer couples aired
their domestic woes in district
court here this year than dur-
ing the previous 12 months;
“It was the depression that did
it," said one, who estimated that in
dollars and cents local barristers
did about $200,000 less business
than in 1931. “Folks just found,"
he concluded, "that they could bet-
ter afford to remain unhappily
married than to be divorced."
From January 1 through Decem-
ber 23, record books showed that
only 3,214 divorce complaints were
filed here, whereas during 1931
exactly 4,754 couples asked the
judge to sever the tie that binds.

St. John‘s and her home port.

The sugestion of having the pro-

For that reason, there was no use
