Like Queen Mary many citizens tasted the quiet joys of united famThousands of others were tempted out by sunshine and rather mild temperature. This evening the theaters were full of holiday makers.

The stay-at-homes and radio fans listened to the Prince of Wales broadcasting an appeal to aid the miners. His royal highness, speak- ing through 2LO, pointed out that 250,000 of these have been ly without wages for many months and are in dire want, with starvation menacing them, and with women and children dependent upon them. Many churches held morning services. "The Gloomy" Dean Inge, preaching in St. Paul's, frankly admitted an optimism in his outlook for international peace.

He believed, he said, that the League of Nations is had almost unlimited opportunities for good, "if the nations really have the will to peace and friendship." 10,000 UNABLE TO ADOPT BABIES CHICAGO, Dec. 25 (P). -Santa Claus failed to fill the bill in Chicago. He fell short in at least one respect, nearly 10,000 couples petitioned for babies to adopt and failed to get them. The demand for babies always reaches its peak at Christmas, the Illinois Children's Home and Aid society, which placed more than 000 youngsters in homes last year, was beseiged 5,200 would-be parents last two weeks, pleading for a baby to adopt for Christmas.

"Of course most of them were disappointed," said Miss Margaret Jones of the society. "A year must elapse before we permit a baby to be adopted, and we make a long searching investigation before we even 'loan out' a baby." COOLIDGES START SOUTHERN TRIP WASHINGTON, Dec. 25 roar of America's mighty industries was hushed today and in its place there was heard in the capital city as well as throughout the length and breadth of the land the century old shout of "Merry Christmas." Everywhere there was a renewing of friendships and the exchange of greetings as a nation at rest from labors gave itself over wholeits heartedly to the spirit of the season and the peace on earth, good will towards man for which it stands. At the white house, the President and Mrs. Coolidge, like millions of other Americans, were up early undoing the tinseled bundles bearing tokens of good wishes from friends.

For the chief executive and first lady the day was an unusually busy one because of their departure in mid-afternoon for a vacation in the milder climate of the Georgia coast. Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge left the city by special train about the hour that the sputtering naval radio brought word from the other side of the equator that the Presidentelect and Mrs. Hoover were enjoying the holiday aboard the big battleship Utah, now cruising northward to Washington.

The President and Mrs. Coolidge first opened the gifts they had bought for one another. This took place in the library on the second floor of the white house. They then got busy inspecting the many other presents sent by friends. In the city itself a full program had been arranged for the day.

All of the Washington churches held special services, and many of the theaters had arranged special holtday programs. PARIS OBSERVES DAY OF REVELRY PARIS. Dec. 25 celebrated Christmas on a lavish scale this year, the annual revillon being on the most extensive scale in many years. More than 100 tons of poultry, turkey and chickens predominating, were consumed alone, The churches were filled for the midnight mass.

At the Madeleine church long lines of worshippers were waiting to enter two hours before the services started and hundreds were unable to find room within the immense structure. A few blocks away Montmartre resorts and dance halls at the same hour were forced to turn amusement seekers away. Today a special service was held at the American pro-cathedral with special Christmas music. Dean Beekman preached. Patients at the American hospital were visited and received folwers and gifts of vari1111g kinds.

S. S. UTAH, Dec. President -elect Herbert Hoover has changed his plans and will proceed directly to Washington upon returning from his South American tour.

This announcement was made today in the midst Christmas celebrations on board the battleship Utah which now is cruising northward. Under the revised schedule the battleship will head for Hampton Roads, Virginia, where it is expected to arrive January 6. The Hoover party then will disembark and proceed to the capital city. Mr. Hoover probably will remain in Washington for a week or 10 days attending to matters awaiting his attention.

After that he will go to Florida as originally planned. This change in schedule was hailed with joy by members of the Hoover party as well as the officers and crew of the battleship as it had been expected that Mr. Hoover would land in Florida and remain in that state until almost time for his inauguration. Hampton Roads is the Utah's base and it now will be possible for its officers and crew to pay brief visits to their families before leavIng on a three-months' cruise to Panama. The practical plans also will enable the prestdent -elect affairs personally to attend to in Washington rather than to attempt to execute their direction from a winter home in Florida.

Whether a trip will be made to Cuba and Mexico before the inauguration is expected to be decided after Mr. Hoover reaches Washington. President Coolidge and the president-elect today exchanged Christmas greetings via radio as did the first lady and the first lady-to-be. Mr. Hoover also received a number of other messages from members of the cabinet and personal friends from all parts of the world.

A number of the radio dispatches were from presidents of the South American republics recently visited, to whom he likewise had sent the season's greetings. Mrs. Hoover, whose thoughtfulness has endeared her to all on board the ship for a while today away from the Christmas festivities in the admiral's quarters and made her way below to the sickbay where about a dozen bluejackets are confined. The wife of the president-elect smilingly wished a merry Christmas to the sailors who are suffering from such ills as colds, fever, and minor accidents incident to work aboard ship. She shook hands with all of the patients and placed her hand 011 the brow of several of those with fever.

To each she gave some kind of present, either a package of sweetmeats, candy or some toy from the Santa Claus collection she herself had provided to give a Christmas touch the dining room in the admiral's quarters. The sick sailors grinned with boyish delight as they toyed with acrobatic monkeys, squeaking dolls, tin horns, wooden rattlers and other articles from the collection Mrs. Hoover had obtained in Rio De Janeiro. When Mrs. Hoover departed she probably left the happiest group of bluejackets in the navy.

Later the medical officer visited the sickbay and remarked that Mrs. Hoover's visit had done more good than all of his medicine. PIONEER OF FILMS TAKES THIRD WIFE HOLLYWOOD, Dec.

The hawser soon parted for a. second time and in attempting to get a line aboard again the Roosevelt fouled a propeller wheel Both disabled, the Starr and Roosevelt were dangerously near the jagged reef, with the lives of the 16 men aboard the Roosevelt in danger.
