NJEW YORE—It probably isn’t safe to score the runs, hits and put-outs of this war too definitely, but it looks as Riough the retirement Score One tor "fd Gem J8B. E ngland W ith M. Hertzog HertzogfaQmtting **°.m soutI1 African poli­ tics could well be put down as a count for England. The former pre­ mier, a stubborn hold-out against war aid or closer alliance with Brit­ ain, relinquishes his leadership and resigns from the reunited National­ ist party. He had formed this party ear­ly in the war, to nnite dissident elements after his bitter politi­ cal enemy, the durable Gen. Jan Smuts, had wrested the premier­ ship from him on the issue of closer adherence to the British empire and its war aims. The issue was fairly-close and he recruited formidable opposition. His withdrawal appears to make this particular outpost of em­ pire much safer for the British! He would have made a good breathitt county feudist, with a quick trigger-finger and a long mem­ ory. He fought like one, in - the hills and the veldt in the Boer war and of his ragged mustache and hardscrabble white beard an inter­ viewer once said: “His whiskers bristled when I mentioned Eng­ land.” Calling himself a “loose asso- ciationist,” he has sought to make the tie with Britain looser and looser. He has been no apologist for Chancellor Hitler, but most of his views and atti­ tudes have been those of a be­ liever in the authoritarian state. He vigorously has opposed votes, beer and property for Rie blacks and has elaborated, with great intellectual facility, a scheme-for. a disciplined state, in which the supremacy, of white culture is the keystone.’ He is a Johannesburg lawyer and politician, brilliantly educated, the son of a Dutch clergyman, - A stern old pietist, with the sharpest tongue in the commonwealth, he scolds the burghers for their unseemly beha­ vior. In the spring of 1929, the cur­ rent high kicking and low think­ing stirred him to an atrabilions outbreak in which he said all this foolishness would be pun­ished in a few months by the worst crash the world had ever known. He advised all hands to hide or bury anything Riey might have. Similar predicRons have given him somewhat the role of a prophet in South Af­ rica. “Old Jeremiah was right,” they are apt to say. With the equally tough and belli­ cose old General Smuts he has en­ gaged in much bare-handed politi­ cal milling for many years, although they once were allies. General Hert- zog became premier in 1933 and General Smuts never ceased firing until his victory last’fall. • ----- 1 7 RANK LLOYD WRIGHT, the " more internationally than nation­ ally famous architect, sees the doom of the big city and the main hope for Architect Wright * Sees D oom ' of Our Big C ities generally decentralized cosmos. Hav­ ing heard him lecture several times, I cannot help thinking there is much wistful think­ ing in his prophecy. Trapped in any big city, Mr. Wright should soon be a hospital case. Ever since he came from the prairie town of Richland Centre, Wis., he has had a feud with the big towns. He now finds a new ally in the imminence of bombing. One of the world’s great in­ novators, if not rebels, in archi­tecture, he has won far more acclaim in other countries than his own. His-greatest achieve­ment was the Imperial hotel, in Tokyo. His unique blend of aes- thetics and utility, passionately expounded in a wide philosophi­ cal context has sfirred contro­ versy, but always seized atten­tion. In person, the qnrelenting foe of the city is a big-town .cit­ izen, custom-made from Rp to toe, easy and assured, but not urbane, because he’s too dis­ pleased with ciRes.

F o r in s ta n c e , p r a c tic a lly everyone who com es in w ants a C inderella special; a note on the m enu announces th at it’s nam ed for her. If you sit in Booth 5 you’ll see a sign saying "At this booth, a eus-. tomer offered Ellen Drew the screen test that has taken her to stardom.” She’d been working in a dime store in Englewood, Hl., when she won a beauty contest conducted by the American Legion and went to Hollyr wood. She expected a film contract to follow, but it didn’t. In two months she learned not to expect ever to get one. But she made the test, and a con­ tract followed. She is starred in three Paramount pictures awaiting ELLEN DREW 1 release—“D, O. A.”, “A Date With Destiny,” and “Texas Rangers Ride Again,” and also in “Christmas in July,” now being shown. Charles Grapewin, who was “Grandpa Joad” in the screen ver­ sion of “The Grapes of Wrath,” has been named to play “Jeeter Lester” in 20th Century-Fox’s production of “Tobacco Road.” Henry Ford will direct, and Nunally Johnson, who did the script for “The Grapes of Wrath,” will have the task of fixing up “Tobacco Road” so that it will pass the censors. Joan Crawford, looking very'stun­ ning indeed, went to the National Horse show, in New York, on the first night, and easily outshone most of the ladies of the city’s Four Hun­ dred. She presented the ciip for one of the special events. It’s doubtful whether she saw much of the show, because there was always such a mob of autograph seekers around her that she was kept busy signing programs and odd bits of paper. — *—Bette Davis has shown once again that she’s not afraid of compeRRon; she’s glad to have Mary Astor play the second feminine lead in “Far Horizon,” though she says herself that the role is equal in importance to her own. DicidentaRy, Warner Brothers have taken up an opRon on a long-term contract for Miss Astor. Keep your eye on PhRip Dorn, a young actor from HoUand who plays “Dr. Ditten” in “Escape.” His next appearance will be as . Hedy La­ m arr’s husband in “Ziegfeld Girl.” — *— The latest word is that CharUe Chaplin’s next picture will be’ a mu­ sical of the London music hails in the nineRes, the place and time where he himself got his start to­ ward fame and fortune. It wiU be in technicolor, and he will return to the character which made him famous. Radio has one married couple with a record for anyone to shoot at. They’re the “Uncle Ezra” and “Ce­ cilia” of the air—Mr. and Mrs. 'Pat Barrett ini private life—and they met when she was Nora Cuneen, tour­ ing the West with a musical comedy. One night the company’s comedian didn’t show up, and Pat Barrett stepped into the role, and into her life as well. They’ve always worked, as a team; before making their radio de­ but, 10 years ago, they toured in vaudeville. Even then they were doing character parts similar to' their roles on the’"Unde'Ezra” pro­ gram. — *— ODDSAND ENDS . . .

S trange F acts Halved Liaer Floats IFives by Pound Courtesy to Death T TNDOUBTEDLY the most out- standing characteristic of smart­ est winter fashions is the elegance and superiority of the materials em­ ployed in their making. Women of discriminating taste find their fond­ est hopes realized in the high dis­ tinction imparted to costumes by choice fabrics styled with classic simpUcity. Add fur opulence and you have sounded the keynote to which the better part of the present style program tunes into uncertain terms. Especially in the matter of woolen weaves have all previous records been exceeded with versatile tex­ tures, gorgeous colorings and. fasci­ nating novelty. Never before in the annals of textile history has there been such a superb showing in fab­ ric output. The existing vogue for three-piece costume suits, and the style prestige accorded the new soft­ ly styled dressmaker coats have in­ tensified spontaneous enthusiasm and interest in handsome sterling quality woolens. Above in the illustration is pre­ sented a stunning coat with the dressmaker look. Softly styled as a dress is this new type now coming into prominence. The patrician model here shown has a nice sort of formality partly because of its softly sculptured lines and partly because of the fine 100 per cent wool Forstman fabric, called “velperla,” of which it is made. The color “graingold” is also news. It gives one the feeling of autumn tinted birch leaves. Golden hued woolens and coppery tones and tints are being played up in all their glory, especially with the very smart spot­ ted furs and with beaver trims. You will-love the texture Snd “feel” of the material that fashions this coat. It is not only all wool with velvety fine finish, but it is crush resistant T r o t t e r D e r b y t -c t? Here is an instance where the camera catches Dame Fashion in the very act of having appropriated for her very own the time-honored Derby hat pictured in the family al­ bum worn by revered ancestors in the early sixties or thereabouts. At any rate the “trotter derby” is smart this season, especially if you feminize it with a bewitching, veil, face its wee brini with flattering blue velvet and wee bows of velvet ribbon in cunning pose at the back. Masculine Influence The masculine influence in-wom­ en’s fashion reflects in the new derby hats feminized with prettily frivolous veils, and flannel long- sleeved shirts that are topped with jackets cut and tailored in man fashion. Long wool knit, socks and striped ties are campus favorites. and measures up to the test of long wear. The fur accent that distinguishes this coat deserves special comment. In the huge beaver-covered button lies a stroke of real styling genius. The single fur button fastening has already made widespread fashion appeal. This simple little touch of fur makes fine excuse to add a hat of /matching fur and a huge muff which ensembles the costume most attractively. In the way of fur trims this season, something of fur always matches something else of fur in the costume, thus estab­ lishing a relationship that resolves the composition into a perfect unit. The inimitable styling given the winsome dress of sheer woolen shown below to-the .right in the group is. recognized at a glance. This most attractive model is an Eisenberg “original” and augurs well for the supremacy of American designers in the field of costume styling. Shirred ruching typifying superior workman­ ship forms giant pockets on bodice and hip. The straight sleeve gains interest from its unusual side clos­ ing fastened by three widely spaced buttons. For the lively touch so es­ sential in this winter’s costumes there are jeweled flower buttons and a contrasting satin ascot. As you see below to the left, tab pockets distinguish a sophisticated jacket of Fromm pedigreed silver fox. A grand and glorious fur of this type, will set off to perfection, any cloth costume with which it is worn throughout winter. The skins are so cleverly marked and worked that the marking of the fox itself outlines the pockets as well as form­ ing a yoke at the shoulders. A tiny standing collar, elongated lapels and pocket tops are of stitched taffeta— a combination of unusual chic that sets off the full silver-bright beauty of the fox. . .The wool hat has a great choux of coq feathers, (B e le a s e d b y W e s te rn N e ira p a p e r U n io n .) H a t s , G l o v e s A d d C o l o r t o G o s t u m e When you buy a new hat, buy a new pair of smart leather gloves to match. That’s fashion’s favorite idea for putting color spice into this year’s costumes and American leather glove makers are playing right into fashion’s hands with an array of colors such as you’ve never before seen. There are two sm art ways of matching gloves and hats . . . ei­ ther match .the ,gloves, to. the hat it­ self or to the trimming. Matching the trimming is a good idea if the hat is black with a contrasting feath­ er, facing, ribbon or veil on it. Or, better still, when you get a hat with contrasting trim, choose, two pairs of gloves—one to match' the hat and one to match the trim. Then when one pair of gloves is be­ ing washed (and most American- made gloves can be washed) you have another harmonious pair to wear. This bat and glove combination is an unbeatable idea for making one costume look like more, particularly if the main costume is black, dark brown, gray or beige . '. . all of which can use.hate, and ,gloves in several different colors. Frog Fastenings The fact that frog fastenings are again in use comes as good news. Not only are “frogs” made of braid “a la militaire,” but the newest note is to form them of cordings of the same cloth as the dress or coat. They serve in a utilitarian way ad­ mirably, and designers are develop­ ing the theme, from the decorative point of view. ’ . . ' What shall I do? These words fall from the lips or pass through the minds of millions of men and women each day. Never does the question go more deeply than- when it concerns man’s eternal welfare, as it does in our lesson. Always the question indi­ cates that man is not able to decide for himself, and needs the guidance of someone greater and wiser than he. It should lead us back to God, for only He can fully answer it. The good neighbor story of our Lord tells us I. What to Do to Have Eternal Life (w . 25-28). The lawyer (a student of the law of Moses and hence a theologian rather than an attorney) was posing a question to try to entrap Jesus. He was apparently not much con­ cerned about eternal life and as­ sumed-that it could be obtained by doing something. . We know that eternal life is a gift (John 1:12; Rom. 6.-23), but if the man wanted to have it by doing, Jesus was ready to meet him. In response to Jesus’ question (v. 26) the lawyer gave Him what the Jews regarded as the summary of the whole law. The man who can perfectly keep that law will have eternal life, de­ clares Jesus. But note that you must do it, not just talk about it And you must keep the whole law, “for whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is become guilty of all” (James 2:10, R. V.; see also GaL 3:10). We see then D. Why It Cannot Be Done by Man (V. 29). The lawyer’s effort to justify him­ self by diverting attention to the word “neighbor,” which, he felt needed definition, showed that he could not do the thing expected of him. The reason for man’s failure lies primarily in his own weakness and inability to do what God re­ quires, but is also revealed in his pitiable and futile efforts to justify himself. Tbe one who seeing his sinfulness and his utter inability to keep God’s law casts himself on the Lord' and is ready to receive the gift of eter­ nal life; but the one who tries to defend his position and justify him­ self has shut the door on God’s grace and mercy (see Luke 18:9- 14). Let us see m . How Christ Does It for and in Man (w . 30-37). The parable of the Good Samari­ tan answers fully and finally the question, “Who is my neighbor?” by making it clear that anyone who is in need, regardless of race, social position, condition or religion, is our neighbor. The priest and the Levite doubtless had plenty of excuses for not helping the wounded man, but let us remember that excuses, while they may count with men, mean- only 'our condemnation in the pres­ ence of God. It was the spirit of Christ that made the Samaritan show a com­ passionate and sacrificial interest in the needy man. Only Christ can make you and me like that; His love in the heart is the only “good neighbor program” that Drill ever work. But Christ not only enables man to be a good neighbor, He is in fact the true Good Neighbor Himself; He is the Good Samaritan. “Jerusalem is the city of God; Jericho repre­ sents the world. The traveler is the type of humanity. Man has fallen in the awful road which leads down; fallen among thieves and is naked, wounded, helpless and hopeless. The failure of the priest and the scribe' to help, illustrates the inability of the law and the ordinances to-save man out of his. deplorable condi­ tion. -The Good Samaritan is the Lord Jesus Christ. He came to the place where the lost are. and He alone could have compassion on them. The wine typifies . His pre­ cious blood He shed to save ,us. The oil. is the type -of the Holy Spirit, Who applies the blood. He tgkes care of fallen man found by Christ. The inn is typical of the church', where the Lord through His Spirit cares for His own. The two pehce are not typical of' two sacraments, but speak of .the reward which those receive who under the Holy Spirit care for souls. The promised com­ ing again with a greater reward of­ fered is the second coming of our Lord” (A. C. Gaebelein). Two truths stand out in our lesson. There is such a thing as being a good neighbor by the grace and blessing of God, and if we are fol­ lowers of Christ we should be real neighbors. "Then there is the One who is Himself our Friend and Brother, the. One of whom we sing: “He washed the bleeding sin wounds And poured in oil and wine; He .whispered to assure me, Tve found th? i. thou art Mine.’ ” -(A. J. Gordon) C TTie Liberty Glo, an ocean liner that struck-a mine in the English channel on December 5,1919, was broken in two but did not sink.- After floating safely to Ameland island, a distance of 10 miles, the two halves were salvaged, joined together and the ship restored, to active service.

And you’re pan­ icky about it! Of course it’s a job to feed 200 people appetizingly mid leave $25 profit in the treasury. But it can be' done! If you must eye the nickels when serving church or club suppers, study the following eight-point program for “feeding the multitude” : (I) Pick a general chairman who can picture the job as a whole. (2) Appoint : a responsible person in charge of . each food. (3) Arrange the kitchen conveniently for the dif­ ferent jobs. (4) Prepare as many foods ahead of time as possible. (9) Have utensils ready and garnishes at hand. (6 ) Name a hostess to di­ rect waitresses. (7) Plan a uniform method of serving. (8) Plan menus well ahead of time. If the meat dish is different, the whole meal seems to have variety. And there’s many a trick for serv­ ing thfifty cuts differently. Take meat Toaf, for instance. A ham loaf de luxe with a -good mus- tard-horseradish sauce will “make” any meal. - Beef stew- can be thick­ ened a little, ladeled into dripping pans, covered with rounds or squares or diamonds of biscuit, and when baked it appears crustily and temptingly yours: If you wish to make it more “de luxe” bake and serve in individual casseroles. For something different, plan for meat balls with rice. You can serve buttered turnips, and a salad made of cabbage, celery, green peas and pimento which certainly sells the men this m enu.. Now if pennies needn’t be watched so closely and you want to do a fall or winter dinner up brown, here’s ar“ringer” : Baked ham, rai­ sin and cider sauce, raw vegetable salad, cranberry muffins, pumpkin pie, coffee; or milk.

Meantime, construction on a gi­ gantic Santa Claus who will talk, laugh, joke, sing and actually hand out his generous supply of toys and treats to the children, is going for­ ward at a place deeply shrouded in secrecy. The big fellow, will be transported to the stadium early on the morning of party day to be on hand for the first comers. Prepa. rations arc being made to tnke care of ten thousand farm children, with two toys, fruit, candy and good times for each one. Dozens of substantial Christmas presents will also be made to adults in the form of prizes for various contests. Among these will be con­ tests to determine the tallest tobac­ co grower, the fattest grower, and the fanner bringing the largest fam ily to the party.

We are inclined to disagree with those .,people who say that the Christmas decorations are being put up in Winston-Salem too early. As a matter of fact, we’d go still further, if we were the Merchants’ Association, and put up the festive colors and wreaths shortly after the Fourth of July. Usually there comes a slump in business arotind the middle of the summbr. Think how. business would boom if we’d decorate the lamp posts and stretch decorations of the Christmas season across the streets around/July 15. Rveryone would be urged to do their Chris- mas shopping early. A great many people would buy their Christmas presents, but would use them for their own purposes, and . by the time December arrived additional presents would have to be bought for friends and relatives — that would make moie businsss and more Christmas buying. . . If parents would buy the toys for Christmas in' July and hide them away on the upper shelves of closets where they naively believe little boys will not find them, they would be sure to be discovered— say around September 14—and toy departments in local stores would sell more and more toys. Another thihg, if we’d start drumming up the Chrisimas busi­ ness during the hot summer months that would give the /merchants plenty of time to fatten up their Santa Clauses, so that the fellows would be jolly and rotund comes the night before Christmas—Twin- City Sentinel.

Maintaining that “ a psychology of alcoholism” leading to “ physi­ cal deterioration, social subversion and political colapse” caused the downfall of France, the board war­ ned a similar fate awaits the Uni­ ted States unless the national con- “in this time of danger” is reduced to an absolute minimum.

W bat we got to get back to are the funda­ mentals, and' spare-ribs and corn pone and pumpkin pie are among the foundation stones of this glori­ ous republic. W e well remember the hard days Of the Cleveland panic, and had it not been for the aforementioned fruits of the soil we know of one family of ten that would have gone hungry. The head of the family was thrown out of work for nine solid months because. the wagon factory where he worked closed down, and such a thing as govern­ ment relief was unheard of. Yet, strange to say, nobocy went hun­ gry. Most families had a little patch of corn and potatoes, (and pumpkins), a cow that the child­ ren took out to graze, a pig in the pen and some chickens, and best of all, neighbors that took an interest in eaeh other. If a man was thrown out of work and his family became destitute the neighbors would help with food end they would also busy themselves in finding work—or making work—for the man. But qow, we do not even know our neighbors R epublicans G et W ilkes North Wilkeaboro.

The resignation expressed appreciation fo r. the sup­ port of the people in the election but he said he could not serve in the of­ fice of commissioner because of his health. ^ Taking the position that a vacancy existed, the dark of court appointed Max Foster, of North Wilkesboro, a Republican, to fill the .onexpired term of Mr. Lendennan and yester­ day Foster was swom in along with M.

Those who read his read his article in last week’s issue of this newspaper must be convinced some changes are bad­ ly needed. “ The party is no stranger than the precinct organization and we need to reorganize our setup and build it from the precinct upward iather than from' the state organi. ration downward,” says Mr. Mor­ gan,w ho goes on to say this is no time to talk of personalities but to re-form the battle lines that we may have wbat Wendell Willkie pleaded for— “a loyal opposition.” The Charlotte man, who by the way is Mecklenburg county chair­ man, went on to say: “ It is a call to Republicans in every county in the state to revise their conception of wbat it takes to make a fighting minority that will deserve to aspire to be the majority party. We need to revise our plan of organization so that the young, middle-aged and older Republicans will have a definite voice in the par. ty councils from the precinct to the state organization—where a work­ ing, energetic Republican m ay a- spire to leadership by producing re­ sults. O ur party, upholders; of the democratic principles should never permit itself to be run by cliques— —principles should inspire us to work, rather than hope of patron­ age—and all age groups should be represented and should be willing to work regardless of whether our treasury is fat or slim .. That is a fine challenge to'N orth Carolina Republicans. Wfaat shall be done about it, is the big ques­ tion. Some, we hea-, say. nothing wilt be done. Maybe so. If diqus and factions are running the party, as intimated by Mr. Morgan let’s get away from it as quickly as pos­ sible. When WiUkie was nominated he chose his own campaign manager and party chairman; when Brough- tonw as nominated he selected his own campaign manager and party chairman. Robert Hayes McNeil was not permitted to name his man­ ager and no change in manager­ ship was carried out. W e are not saying that the pre­ sent setup at headquarters served to increase the McNeill minority. But we are now, as we were at that time, firm in our belief our gubernatorial candidate should have placed his own choice at the head of the party’s campaign. W hether JakeNewell and Brown- low Jackson remain in their present positions is not a question's! issue at this time. It will doubtless come up at the proper time. But what we are doing right now is to com­ mend Mr. Morgan’s suggestions to all Republicans, that they may be­ gin to give serious thought to it. —Union Republican. B iitk d ay D inner.

CHAPTER Vin—Continued —10 — When I looked up from my work again, Allegra stood in the doorway. “Hello.” . “Good morning.” I scrambled to my feet and speech left me again. I saw the quick rise and fall of her breast beneath the tweed cloak. There was something in the silence that disturbed both of us. Shebrolce it. “Is there soot on my nose?” she esked a little wildly. “No,” I said and cleared my throat. “I was just—I was Just real­ izing what a beautiful person your aunt must have been.” She came in and sat down, with a ghost of Miss Agatha’s chuckle. “Thanks,” she told me. “That is, if I follow you. I can believe that your sister-in-law is very, very love­ ly, too. Is she also a good liar?” Her mouth was merry but her eyes were grave. I managed to meet them. “What?” “You heard the first time. You can drop the pose of deafness—or is it dumbness?” Her voice sank. Little gloved hands were locked in her lap. “Grove," Allegra said, “has told me everything.” I kept my face. “I see.” “Grove,” she said, “is in love with lone Ferriter.” Ihat opened up new avenues of sunpise. I did not turn toward them. I asked: “And you don’t like it?” “It, or her. She’s older.” “That,” I said, “isn’t necessarily fatal. So was Mrs. Browning and Mrs. Disraeli and Mrs. Mary of Scotland and Mrs. Oedipus and—” “Skip the Phi Bete erudition,” she broke in, but her eyes were less tragic. “Grove is an infant and al­ ways will be. He’s all the family I’ve got. I don’t want him hurt but be will be. Grove won’t listen to me. He doesn’t care what I thinfc any more." "It’s just possible, Isn’t it, that lone loves him? Does your aunt know?” She smiled and shook her head. “She knows, I think. But Grove is supposed to be adult and Agatha’s religion is minding her own business. I can’t speak to her about it. I promised Grove I wouldn’t, but he said last night I could explain to you why he was in Ione’s flat.” “And, sooner or later, you’re go­ing to?” _ The girl looked at me and smiled. “Meaning,” she interpreted, “that I talk too much. Grove's had a Ferriter latchkey for a month. He’s been meeting Ioiie there.” She stopped and looked at the win­ dow and the smile had left her face. I waited. “I wish,” she said slowly, “that I could like her. Up to now, we’ve always liked the same things, Grove and I. I’m not jealous'. I know what they’re doing. They’re keeping this thing under cover until after Grove’s birthday, next week. You see, if Grove marries without Agatha’s and my Uncle Stanley’s consent, they could hold up his inheritance That’s in niy father’s will.” I told her: “You haven’t yet ex­ plained why- he was in—'* She said impatiently: “Oh, he had the idea that maybe he could find' some clue the police had ignored— something that would clear the Fiir- riters. That’s the sort of a mind he has." I said: “One doesn’t love a. person for his brains.” “All the aphorisms are edifying,” she iold me with a: flash of her aunt’s spirit, “but they don’t solve anything." “You could have saved yourself a lot of wear and tear,” I answered, “by telling me in the first place what you wanted solved." Allegra looked at me hard and then smiled. “AU right, Admiral Crichton* Find wit who killed that man.” “Yes, ma’am,'’ I told her, “it’s as good as done.” She held out her hand toward me: Then she turned. Neither of us knew how long Miss Agatha had been on the threshold. Nothing in her face gave us a due. She rolled into the room and spoke crisply: “It’s bad enough to be a refuge for all my family’s grief-smitten, without posing as aunt to the New York City police. Captain Shannon has been telephoning. Lyon Ferri­ ter escaped from the Babylon last night” “How, long,” I asked suddenly, ‘.‘did he.stay after I left?” There was a glitter in her ores. “About a quarter-hour,” she in­ formed me, “and I’d be quite con­ tent, David, if you’d confine your criminal investigations for the pres­ ent to my own ancestry.” “Yes, Miss Paget,” I said with meekness that made her chuckle. I know now she had heard at least the conclusion- of my talk with her niece. She turned to Allegra. “Lunch in a half-hour, my dear,1 she said, and the girl left the room. “He seemed pleased,” I replied “—to see me aid my bag spread all over the floor." The old lady started to follow and paused: “David,” said she, “I hope your head is stronger than I’ve any rea­ son to think it is." ‘1'hope it’s stronger than I thinfc it is,” I answered! ' She lingered an instant and then nodded. ‘Perhaps,” she comforted, “it’s better than either of us thinks,” and trundled herself away. The door opened. Allegra looked in. — “A message from Miss Paget,” she said with mock gravity. “There is an extra place at the table this noon that she wishes you would oc­ cupy. Mr. Everett Ferriter is in­disposed again.” CHAPTER IX Linen’s frosty glow, the cool glit­ ter of silver and china were like friends long absent. They lifted my morale. I caught Allegra’s glance as Lyon helped her into the chair beside his, and grinned. I sat be­ tween lone and Miss Agatha with Ferriter opposite, on her right hand, and I' selected the bouillon spoon boldly, because I thought they might wonder if I could. I found myself disliking the scent lone wore and her as well, for no clear reason other than that I ob­ jected to sultry brunettes. My neighbor said in her husky voice: “I haven’t thanked you, Mr. Mal­ lory, for what you did that—awful night.” I wondered if it were only the shock of that evening that harried her now. “Thank me,” I asked, "for treat­ ing you rough?” “Exactly. I needed it. I don’t usually—fall apart like that.” Lyon spoke with the odd deviv tion in his eyes he reserved for his sister. “She really doesn’t. She wintered with me in Alaska,, but that, after all, isn’t preparation for finding—” He checked himself and turned to Miss Agatha with an apologetic movement of his hands. “I beg pardon. There is no ex-' cuse for dragging—” “Nonsense,” the old lady cut In. “My dear man, closets are the worst possible places for skeletons. It’s far more wholesome to leave them out in the air. If you can stand it.” “We have to,” he said a littlk grimly. “Until the police get the idea that people who weren't there could not have done it.” I had wished, a half-hour earlier, that I might be included among Miss Paget’s guests. Now I was unhap­ py. I knew too much and suspected too much more. I was tense and saw portents in actions outwardly innocent. -For a moment, I had thought Ione’s seizure had concealed terror. Now the sanity of the well-, ordered lunch, the calm beauty of the room, the decorous speed) of its occupants jeered at my suspicions. The . talk veered away to less-in­ tense matters. The meal was dos­ ing when Miss Agatha said sudden­ ly:“Allegra, Grove.called up while you were dressing. He won’t - be home till late. You will have to find another escort for the opera to­ night." The girl nodded without expression and for an instant her eyes strayed to lone who asked the old lady: “You don’t go, Miss Paget?” The composure in her rich voice once more mocked my suspicion. Miss Agatha shook her head. “My dear,” said she, “I was reared in the Paget tradition. I went to the opera as regularly as I went to church. Being a cripple, I had no conflicting engagements. I went. I still have my father’s seats. Allegra and Grove pretend to like i t I grew tired long ago of hearing nonsense sung in one language.by folks who speak another, to people who don’t understand either.” “As a rule/' Lyon said, “operas could stand a deal of editing.” “Extermination,” Miss Agatha told him, “is the better word." I laughed and so did he, and catch­ ing my eye, he asked: “By the way, were you coming out of the cellar last night whta I left?” Once more my spine prickled—I thought that a hidden something lurked beneath that easy question. Out of the murk a new theory sud­ denly jumped at me. Perhaps the prostrated Everett after all had been my basement antagonist. I gath­ ered my wits and tried to drive into the open whatever fear hid be­ hind Lyon’s query. “Yes.” He smiled. “After I passed, I thought it had been you. At the moment I imag­ ined that it was just another de­ tective following me around. I haven’t dared look under the table this noon, Miss Paget, for fear of finding one.” . “I can vouch for this company,” Miss Agatha said dryly, “unless Da- •, vid is one in disguise.” I wondered what she meant but Allegra asked, mockingly: , “Just a social call on Casanova?” Out of an eye corner, I saw that lone held her fork motionless above. her salad. “No,” I'said. “I went to get my suitcase. I didn’t see Higgins til) later.” “Later?” . Ione repeated. I looked at her, but her make-up might have been a mask. •You see,” I told her, “the help­ ful Higgins had left the suitcase in the basement hall. I fell over "it, which pleased him, I think.” “The swine,” said Lyon and his calm disappointed me. “That’s how you hurt yourself, eh?” He nodded at my trampled left hand. I shook my head, weighing the merits of reticence and complete exposure. I chose the former and merely said: “No. Someone else gave me that." “I hope,”, said Miss Agatha and bit that invisible thread, “that you skinned it on Timothy’s jaw.” “He seemed pleased,” I replied, “when he came out and turned on the lights, to see me and my bag spread all over the floor.” With the others; I followed Miss Agatha’s chair into the living room and looked at my watch. . “It’s time,” I told the old lady, “that I stopped being a guest and became an employee.” lone, bright and exotic as a tropic bird, smiled at me as I backed to­ ward the hall door. Lyon’s right band went through the movements of the sword salute. “Oh, I say,” he checked me as I turned to leave, “why not stop in when you leave this afternoon? I’d really like to have you see my col­ lection of blades, if you’d be inter­ ested.” “Thanks,” I -said, finding no way to refuse without seeming churlish, “I'd be glad to." ‘^Splendid. At what time?” “Between five and six?” “Right. I’ll be looking for you. I wish there were room for us to fence a bit, but Fm afraid that’s impos­ sible.” “I’m glad there isn’t,” I told him; “Tm very rusty,” and went back to the workroom. It was five when I finished and,. under Annie’s convoy, took the com­ pleted copy to my employer.. She sat in the living room at her version of afternoon tea—solitaire, a ciga­ rette and a highball. I waited while she read the script slowly and without expression. When she had laid the last page aside, she said:“You’re very able as well as will­ ful. You’ve done it exactly as I should—if I had your gift. Will you take Allegra to the opera this eve­ ning?” The question, flung at me while I was a little unsettled by her approv­ al—I had not had much praise in the last few weeks—was like a punch in the stomach, I gasped. She chose to misread my confusion. “A purely business proposition, Allegra was: going with Grove. AU the other young men she knows have engagements. She can’t very well go by herself and if you’ll escort ter—” "I can send in my bill tomor­ row?” -I asked. “No, Miss Paget Fm busy this eVening." . ' “There are times, David Mallory, when I could slap you,” ;Miss Aga­ tha said and sat very- straight is her wheel chair. “That goes double," I answered, She chuckled. She liked defiance (TO B$ CONTINUED} ^ 'IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL UNDAYICHOOL L esson B y H A R O L D U L U N D Q U IS T . p .

The request of the apostles was not that He should teach them how to pray, for He had already done that (see M att 6:5-7) In the Sermon on the Mount. What they needed, and what we need, is not so much to learn how to pray, but actually to pray. _ Prayer is more talked about than practiced. We discuss the doctrine of prayer, Uie time of prayer, the manner of prayer, pos­ ture in prayer; but how much do we really pray? This is a very important and plain question which we must face per­ sonally, “Do I pray, or do I only talk about praying?” Let us hot try to dodge it or excuse ourselves; let us face it honestly, do something about it, and know God’s richer and fuller blessing for our lives. We have in our lesson, I. A Principle of Prayer (v. 9). The one who has a right to call God his “Father” (v. 2) has a right to come and “ask” God for what­ ever he needs. God expects His children to ask, and many “have not, because ye ask not” (James 4:2). Give God a chance to an­ swer you by asking, but be sure to ask aright, not for your own selfish purposes (James 4:3). The real asker is also a seeker—he doesn’t, ask and run away empty-handed— he persists. He not only “seeks,” but he “knocks” at God’s-door. A knock is an evidence of faith—ex­ pectancy, and often persistency—all essential'in real prayer. II. The Promise of Prayer (w . 9-13). Here is the promise of our Lord. We are quick to claim the promises of our friends, business associates, the government; why are we so slow in claiming the promises of God? Can it be that we have less confi­ dence in Him than we have in our neighbor? Asking.means, receiving,, seeking results in finding, knocking brings the open door of His bless­ ing. Why not do it? God is our Father. Even a man rightly bearing the beautiful title “father” is loving and considerate. Will not the heavenly Father then give us every good tiling? In fact, the Holy Spirit Himself is ours in all His fullness, and in Him there is every other gift. m . A Parable Concerning Pray-> er (w . 5-8). The point of this story is that wa should be persistent in prayer. Im­ portunity carries with it a sense of being troublesome, bothering some­ one until the desired result is at­ tained. God encourages His chil­ dren to a holy boldness which does not give up (see Luke 18:1-8; Matt. 15:21-28). If a man who is only a friend will at the impossible hour of midnight supply a need which should have been anticipated to feedonewho is a stranger to him, wiU pot our Father, who "neither slumbers nor sleeps,” who knows and loves us all, meet our deep spiritual need? Indeed He will, “exceeding abun­ dantly above all that we ask or think” (Eph. 3:20). IV. The Practice of Prayer (vv. 1-4). There is no one who can teach ua to pray better than Jesus, for He “practiced what He preached.” He prayed; It was seeing Him pray that led the disciples to ask Him to teach them to pray. To profess is one thing, but it is far better to practice. The teacher who does not practice prayer will accomplish lit­ tle in teaching this lesson, but the one who prays, though able to say but little, will cause m any to say, “Teach me to pray.” For he practice of prayer, Jesus taught His disciples a model pray­ er. ■ This does not mean that this is the only prayer to be offered, nor that Jt is the only form of prayer. As suggested, it . is rather a model, This prayer .opens with a recog. nition of God as Father, followed by a reverent petition that His name may be hallowed; that is, that He may have glory as His will is done and His kingdom established in the hearts of men. Those who have that spiritual life and attitude are ready to ask for the supply of daily needs, and above all forgiveness of sin and deliverance from temptation. Note that verse 4 is not the prayer of the unsaved for forgiveness and regen­ eration, for that is all of grace (Eph. 2:8). 'The man outside (of the king­ dom) gets his forgiveness with no condition; but once he is in the king­ dom of the Son of God’s love, he lives within the laws of that king­ dom. Then he does not get forgive­ ness .unless he is ready to forgive, Unless he . has forgiven” (Morgan). “Nothing more surely destroys com­ munion than the unforgiving spirit (Matt. 6:14, 15; Mark 11:25). The fact that we forgive others is not the ground on which God forgives us, but it is the condition of our en­ joying God’s, forgiveness (Eph.-1:7; 4:32)” (Bradbury). B I N A season when jumpers have jumped way out in front of any other school style, this one stands right at the head of its very smart class. Why? Because it’s the pinafore type, cut high and dart- fitted, that juniors are mad about. Because the skirt is made with impressed front fullness that looks perfectly charming on slim little figures. Because it’s adorned with two big patch pockets, as decora­ tive as they are convenient. Last but not least, it’s easy to make. . For the pinafore jumper of this design (No. 1252-B) choose cordu- Toy, flannel, jersey or wool crepe. For the plain little tailored blouse (with short or. long sleeves)- chal- lis, flannel, linen, flat crepe or batiste are smart. • * .* B a r b a r a B d il P a t t e r n N o . 12S2*B is d e ­ s ig n e d f o r s iz e s I I , 13, IS,'17 a n d 19.

If you are constipated, don’t endure it first and "cure" it afterward. R nd out what’s giving you the trouble. Chances are it's simple if you eat the super-refined foods most people do: m eat, w hite bread, potatoes. It’s likely you don’t get enough "balk."A nd “bulk’’doesn‘t mean a lot of food. It’s a kin d of food that isn’t consumed In the body, but leaves a soft '■bulky" mass in the intestines and helps a bowel movement.U this is your trouble; you Should eat a natural “bulk" pro­ducing food-such a one as the crunchy, toasted, ready-to-eat cereal, Kellogg’s All-Bran. Eat It often, drink plenty of water, and “Join the Regulars." AU-Bran is madeby Kellogg’s In Battle Creek. If your condition is ebronle, it is wise to consult a physician.

IN ADVANCE - * I 06 SIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE ■ S SO Governor Broughton has promis­ ed to do what be can to get aH the school teachers put on an old age retirement pension. W ebopesome day that all the old editors will be retired on a pension. How about it, Governor? We understand that some elec­ tion thieves are going to be indicted and prosecuted. We trust that every man who is guilty of stealing a vote will get at least one'year on the chain gang, a man who would steal your vote is a dangerous man to be running loose. Tbe absentee ballot is a great thing. In Kansas, where the Re­ publicans have control of the elec­ tion machinery thev have counted enough absentee ballots to defeat the Democratic governor by a ma­ jority of 427 votes. The Democrats are raising a howl. The unemployment problem is far from solved. The Charlotte Observer carried a want ad for a North Wi'.kesboro man who want­ ed to hire a man to work. The advertiser received more than nine­ ty answers, which goes to prove that in these so-called prosperous times there are thousands of people looking for jobs. John S. Williard.

He said that the people in Iowa didn’t like Henry Wallace, the Republican, who was elected vice president on the Democratic ticket. Wallace is a native of Iowa but couldn't carry his own state. We don’t know anybody around ’ here who would split their shirts for Wallace. A fellow blew into town from Virginia one day last week. We told him that we had $5 charged a- gainst him on our books. He re marked that It would be on there for a long time. Talk about grati­ tude. Some of these days we are going to print his name in black type and tell when he died and who preached the funeral, provided we are alive. The Record has been boosting Moctcsville and Davie county for , the past 41 years We have given thousands of dollars in advertising space to boost the merchants, the business and professional men our mills and factories. Some of these men have never spent any money with us, and perhaps never will, but we shall continue to work for the upbuilding of our town and county regardless of a few people who do not co-operate with us. Much Cotton In Fields. Despite the fine fall weather of the past two months there remains much cotton in the fields to be picked. Farmers report that the white staple was nearly a month late in opening this fall. Many farmers also report that they find it impossible to hire cotton pickers at the price they can afford to pay. Some claim that the PiddlersAid is responsible fo' this condition. The price of cotton has remained about the same since the market opened, seed cotton bringing $4.15 per hundred pounds and lint cotton $10 per hundred ponnds. The bales ginned to date this year is far be­ low the amount ginned to the same date last year. Davie Sends Two. Two young m e n from Davie county,' Carl L Peoples, of Clarks­ ville, and W. L Ridenbour, Jr., of Cooleemee, left Thursday morning tor Ft. Bragg where they will be­ gin a one year militety service. A large crowd, of local people as­ sembled in front of the bus station to see the boys off and wish them God-speed. Music was furnished by the Mocksville high school band, assisted by C. C. C. boys from the local camp. A number of Ameri­ can Legion members-were also pre­ sent. Funeral services were held at Wesley’s Chapel Methodist church Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, with Rev. J. W. Vestal in charge, and the body laid to rest in the church cemetery. Mr. Williard is survived by his widow and several children. Approve Gitton Quotas. Davie county cotton fanners seemed to take but little interest in the cotton mar­ keting control ection which was held Sat­ urday in an cotton growing states. About 2,000 farmers in Davie were ele- gibla to vote,- but oely 356 voted. The vote was: Fot control, 323; against con­ trol. 31. Raleigh.

Dec. 8—Grower approval of a proposal to continue the cotton mar­ keting control program in 1941 was indi­ cated on the basis of returns from 16 of the 19 cotton producing states.

She told a bout how the serving is done.' This brought up the question of room and e- quipment, and the group decided that the best thing to do would be to equip apotb. er room to be\ised for serving. The fol­ lowing committee was appointed to see that the room is properly prepared and equipped: Messrs. J. W. Laird. F. M. Smith and C. S. Dunn, and Mesdames Gray Sheek.

N EW YORK.—For many years, Ernest G. Draper has been speaking up for the small business man whenever he had a chance. Oat to Channel This now be­ comes his of- Small Business ficial assign- InDefenseW ork Sie?4- ?s ^ie Federal Re­ serve board, of which he is a gov­ ernor, designates him as the board’s representative in its invitation to small business to get in happily on the defense effort. He will work with the officer^ of reserve banks in their co-operation with' local banks in loosening credit and giving small concerns a crack at government contracts. The idea seems to be to channel small banking as well as small manufacturing into the de­ fense mobilization of money and productivity. Mr/Draper, New York head of a food packing and marketing business which isn’t so small, has earnestly extolled what he calls “business statesmanship.” He writes for trade journals and expounds for business forums his idea of a wide diffusion of oppor­ tunity among small business­ men, and the peril of unre­ strained monopoly and whole- hog taxation. From 1935 to 1938, he was assistant secretary of commerce, becoming a gover­ nor of the Federal Reserve board In March of the latter year. In 1930, he was the representative of industry on the National La­ bor board. In June of last year he advocated, before a senate sub-committee, a proposal to liberalize federal banking ma­ chinery in the interest of the small manufacturer and mer­ chant. Owning a yacht and belonging to Several swank yachting clubs might seem to exclude Mr. Draper from the small business league, but it has been no bar sinister. Amherst gave him a degree in 1906 and later on an honorary master’s degree. This writer was talking to the owner of a small tool plant in New Jersey the other day, and found him quite angry about the defense program. He said the New Deal had rigged everything for the big boys, with nothing for the little ones, and that it will be worse now that the election is over and small-busi- ness votes aren’t immediately need­ ed. Mr. Draper’s new activities may reassure him. 'T"'HERE is pace and precision in Rachel Crothers’ polished dramas of life and manners. Simi­ larly everything clicks in her Amer­ ican TheaterNeedy of Britain Wing, whichIs Taken Under she started Thespiamf Wing Iast January with six wom­en, and which now has more than 3,000 persons knitting, sewing, gath­ ering funds, garments, food, blan­ kets, even ambulances and can­ teens, and keeping them moving to England in mounting quantity. About 1,000 of Mrs. Crothers’ asso­ ciates are New York women, in and out of the theater. But the organi­ zation and momentum are distinctly of the theater, and a score for the world of make-believe in facing the grim urgency of harsh reality. Mrs. Crothers has staged an average of one play a year ever since the Broadway presentation of “The Three of Cs,” in 1906. At her home in Bloomington, HI., she was an impresario of paper dolls at the age of four and staged her first play—in the back parlor of her home 50 years ago, when she was 12. It was a five- act play, called “Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining.” She was the outstanding dramatist of her Sunday school class, but, be­ cause of the deacons, her plays were discreetly offered as sketches. Her parents, of Scotch, Irish, Hugenot antecedents, were both doctors. After her graduation from the state normal university of Tilinnig, she worked first in amateur and then professional theatricals, writing, acting and producing and then stormed Broadway with no impres­ sive resources other than the manu­ script of “The Three of Us.” The Sunday school playwright from Bloomington hit a brightnote of big- town sophistication right from the start, clear, on down to “Susan and God” of two years ago. She is slender, brisk and alert at 62, a bit prim, but in and of the big town, a distinguished lady of the theater and supremely effective in all that she does. During the World war, she organized.and managed as president the Stage Women’s War Relief organization, with similar success in its humane Objective. In the slump of 1932, she and John Golden, the theatrical producer, or­ ganized the highly efficient stage re­ lief fund. She supplies at least one courageous answer to defeatism and futility. Al] around one: hears, of the gallant efforts of the stage women. P l u m b e r ’s H e l p e r N a t i o n ’s F i r s t D r a f t e e John E.

W ALT DISNEY’S “ F an ­ tasia” has made its bow at last, and also made history. It is “a series of eight musical compositions, interpreted by Leopold Stokowski and the Phil­ adelphia. Symphony orchestra” with comments by Deems Tay­ lor. It is also the most beautiful presentation of color and sound that the screen has ever offered. The music was recorded by the orchestra, then Disney and his idea men listened to it, and on the screen we see what the music suggested to them. We have Mickey Mouse as the “Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” amaz­ ing prehistoric animals in Stravin­ sky’s “Rite of Spring,” delightful WALT DISNEY centaurs and “centaurettes” in Bee­ thoven’s “Pastoral Symphony.” Disney selected the music care­ fully, to appeal to all tastes. He hoped to aid in popularizing classic­ al music, an undertaking so ably begun by radio. Special RCA re­ production equipment is necessary to handle the innovations in record­ ing. The experiment is a magnificent one, into which Disney has poured more than two million doUars. Its success should be as great as the courage of its producer.— * — Fred Astaire has the longest mo­ tion picture feature devoted exclu­ sively to dancing in the world, and it’s getting longer all the time. The picture, right now, is being length­ ened by two dance numbers which Astaire created for himself and Paulette Goddard in his latest Holly­ wood production, “Second Chorus.” The addition of these two numbers makes Astaire’s own picture run more than four hours, and probably the world will never see it; a stickler for originality, he has accumulated it from the thirteen screen produc­ tions in which he has appeared so far. — — Mary Andefson is HoHywood’s newest CindereUa. One of Uie girls who was tested for the role of “Scar­ lett O’Hara” and didn’t get it, she did play “MaybeHe Merriweather” in the famous Southern war picture, and then stayed on in HoUywood and worked for Warner Brothers. Now she has a difficult role in Rich­ ard Rowland’s “Cheers for Miss Bishop.” Only eighteen, she has a good start on what promises to be a highly successful career. — * — About, a year ago lovely Joan Blaine, featured in the NBC serial, "Valiant Lady,” was walking down Broadway when she slipped on the icy street and fell. A quiet young man picked her up, brushed her off, and disappeared in the throng. “Just my luck,” she told some of her friends later. “I didn’t ask his name, and I’ll probably never see him again.” Recently Rikel Kent, director of “Valiant Lady,” told her she was acquiring a new man on the show. “His name is Lawson Zerbe,” Kent told her. “You don’t know him.” Then Zerbe appeared for rehearsal, and—you’ve guessed it. Out of all the actors in New York, he was the quiet young man who’d come to her rescue nearly a year before. Gary Cooper is dead set against anything that is unnatural; he in­ sists on letting nature take its course before the cameras, which is why you never see him curl his lips and show his teeth when he’s angry—watch him in “North West Mounted Police” and you’ll see him as he is in real life. He’s one of the few actors in Hollywood who de­ pends on. a mirror only when he’s shaving, making up for , work or combing his hair.— *— ODDS AND ENDS—James Mellon and Irene Beasley used to sing for nothing on a small station in Memphis, Tenn^ years ago, after a lapse of ten years they en­ countered each other in a New York night club, and discovered that they were booked Io sing - on Raymond Paige's “Musical Americana' on the same night . . . John Wityne and Ward Bond made a gallon of- authentic moonshine the other day for a scene in “Shepherd of the Hills, using a real still, and when the scene had been shot the federal agent who represented law and order poured the “com“ on the ground, while various members of the cast lamented, but to no avail Pattern No. Z9033.

The National Safety Council points out that the Holidays are the most dangerous part of the year, r» plete with auto casualties, home accidents, bums and falls. Keep these "don’ts” in mind and you’U Uve to see the new year: DON’T give children dangerous toys, or toys with sharp points. If they operate with electricity, be sure you supervise their use. 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- MOTHER WHftTi DADDV ? SOfKy,OlP MAN. ViJuUflAWETD WAITTlLLWt OUUfOETHEOUARP 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 ppunds 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 drinks 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 have many guests; sprinkle salt or sand in dangerous spots. DON’T drive carefully — unless you want to live and enjoy 1941. C ity o f N ew O rleans Likes Its F irew orks In C hristm as Season T O O IO U T I T 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- Iy. 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 leans 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 jtumult increases. Parents consist­ ently caution their children to save jthe firecrackers until the twenty- jfifth, 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 inot 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 iwith 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 jmoroing, with greater enthusiasm Ithan 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 go off at one full blow; those who were firecracker boys yesterday are sk y ro c k e t, 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 Rises. Sugar andp Water Stops Fall Of Christmas Tree Needles It’s easy to stop the fall of Christ­ mas tree needles.; Saw off a portion of the tree’s base—enough so the fresh wood will be exposed. Set a shallow pan of water beneath the base of the tree, in which the base should be immersed. A teaspoonful of sugar should be added to the wa­ ter. The water provides needed moisture and the sugar nourishes the needles, giving them strength to hold on longer. A s ----- C h ristm as W eek O ffe rs C h a n c e to P re d ic t W e a th e r Weatiier prognostieators have found means of forecasting most of the coming year’s weather by cocking an eye at the sky during Christmas week. Tou 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 trill 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 win 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 I T’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 Terryiski in Cosmopoli­ tan. On the outlying islands in Hawaii, Christmas 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 Qiristmases 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. Use Flasfalight to Test Christmas Tree Bnlbs U you are doubtful about certain lamps in your Christmas tree string, here’s an easy way to check for those that ate burned out. Remove the regular lamp from a five-cell flashlight. Then screw in Uie liights one at a time. While they will'not bum brightly with such low current, they will glow if still good. Bumed-out lamps will not'glow at all. ("NU Service T h e N e w T o r k S c e n e : Faces About Town: The F.D.R.

FOR YOUR INBETWEEN HOLIDAY PARTIES (See Recipes Below) / Expected, and unexpected situa­ tions too, arise during the holiday seasons. People drop in just to wish you a “Merry Christmas.”. Others are invited for some specified time. The night before Christmas you may want to have a “trimming the Christmas tree” party. Or, your daughter may ask a few of her chums in for a small party. Whether you expect to be on the entertainment committee for a fam­ily reunion, or just a hostess for a casual holiday gathering, it’s a good idea to put on. your thinking cap and plan some easy-to-prepare mass refreshments. Sandwich makings'that the guests can put together themselves are al­ways a good choice for quick-party menus.Fruit refrigerator cakes are the perfect solution for chief cooks who want to play' the role 'of leisureftr hostess without last minute culi­nary responsibili. ties. They are practical, too, from the stand­ point of using left­over fruits that might be cluttering up the refrigerator. These delica­ cies always have a glamorous “par­ ty” look and appeal to every sweet tooth; but, best of all, they can be made in jig time in the morning, leaving the afternoons and early evenings free for “fun.” Peach Refrigerator Cake. .

Not only must the ingredients be good, but they must be combined in the best way possible for perfect re­ sults. Formerly, just foe thought of baking pies, cakes or breads would frighten the. inexperienced cook. Today, foe most timid be­ ginner has little difficulty in fol­ lowing recipe directions. Miss Howe’s cookbook “Better Baking” contains such recipes, simple and easy to understand, and easy to follow; and the re­ sults will do the young cook proud. You may secure your copy of her cookbook by writing to ‘b e t­ ter Baking,” in care of Eleanor Howe, 919 Nortb Michigan Ave­ nue, Chicago, Illinois, and enclos­ ing 10 cents in coin.

Baptiste Want A Refer- A Letter to Santa dans endum. It will be noted that the North Carolina Baptist State Convention at its closing session in Charlotte last week went on record in favor of a statewide referendum on. tbe liquor question in tbis state. So far so good. W e are heartily in favor of snch a referendum. We are more than that. W e favor ab­ solute abolishment of tbe ABC stores, referendum or not, by what­ ever means possible. But are our good'brethren con­ sistent? Tbe Democratic party in North Carolina is the wet party. It placed saloons under the guise of ABC stores in 27 counties down east. Its candidate for governor, our mutual friend, J. Melville, Broughton, would not commit him­ self during the campaign when prodded bv Robert H . McNeill, al­ so a Baptist, who was tbe Republi­ can nominee for governor, on bow he stood as to abolishment of these saloons. McNeill demanded in no certain term s that these stores be a bolished, and called tor the return ot prohibition. Broughton never mentioned this issue in any of his speeches. President Roosevelt decided the best way to bring prosperity back to America was to “drink our way back” and he carried out his pledge, if elected, to put saloons back in their former glory days No won der all the big distilleries contribut. ed to his campaign fund. Visit our large cities and you will find Iiqnor stores on every corner almost. No wonder our big cities voted so over­ whelmingly for his election to a third term. Out in tbe country areas where tbe prohibition spirit is still alive Willkie received the hnge .majority of votes cast. And in the face of these facts our North Carolina brethren voted for Broughton and Roosevelt, and then ask for a referendum.—Ex. Don’t Become a Hostage “Producers have more responsi­ bility than the government in see­ ing that their marketing' control program works,'* said an agricul­ tural expert ,recently. That’s worth remembering. The farmer who depends ■ on govern­ ment aid, under the guise of “ re lief,” becomes a hostage of- poli tics. Tbe more a farmer takes from the government in'public re­ lief, the more he relinquishes as an independent freeholder. Tbere is only one kind of per. manent “ farm aid" that should ap­ peal to an independent farmer, and that is the work he does for him­ self thiough his own organizations such as the marketing co-operat ives, says the Union Republican.

Winston Salem Journal. In the December number of The Tar Heel Banker, oifical publica. tion of tbe North Carolina Bankers Association, we find a letter to Santa Claus that deserves the widest dr< culation possible It was written bv William H. Spradlin Jr., form­ erly of Winston-Salem: D bv Santa Claus: ' It has been a long time since I, as a child, last wrote to you. Tbe years have led me over many roads, some bringing joy and contentment, others offering little but hardship and worry. There came a time, as my child, hood faded away, when I learned that the Santa I had known ’did not exist. It was then that I knock' ed at the door of adult life, and I ceased writing to you when fallen leaves and the brown sedge bending before tbe wintering winds proclaim tbe approach of each successive Christmas. The long years have taught me many things, among them the knowledge that there is a Santa Claus. I know now that your work is not restricted to dropping silent­ ly down the chimneys of houses where good, little boys and girls live, but that you enter into every house and heart that Will admit you. I know, too, that you are not a visit­ or from a distant, frozen land, ap­ pearing in the world only on the night before Christmas, for your home is among all mankind and your gifts are always to be bad. You are tbe spirit of Good Will. I write you again this year in the same faith of my childhood that.you will bring those gifts which are deserved. I write not for my. self alone, but for all the'inhabit­ ants of this earth. There are gifts of which we stand in great need, and we hope that you will not con. sider too closely whether we deserve them, but that you will bring them quickly while we are still able to know and en]oy good things. Bring us this year respect for the honest opinions of all honest men, and intolerance only of intolerance itself. Bring us the ability to co­ operate with other peoples, and to recognize their rights to Iite and freedom as equal with our own. Bring us a new supply of the old American spirit, a spirit as fresh and clean as pure winter wind blow, ing through the woods— a spirit that gives every man his opinion*, yet unites every man with his coun­ trymen. Bring us a realization o f th e truth taat America is composed of two continents, not just of our own beloved United States. Bring us not fear of war, but the will and ability to deal with the world, without entering tbe armed flicts of men. And to those of us who already are fighting or who have tought and lost, we ask that yon bring just a sm all m easure'of justice and peace of mind. W e.do not ask,{good Santa, that you bring charity to the hearts of those men. who seem bent upon de­ stroying all the good which we love for you yourself are mundane and such a gift must come from One who is not of (bis world. But bring to ail of us that vision, strength, determination and security that will at last trium ph over eyil forces. Bring us gentleness of spirit,' yet wisdom to see those things among us which good men believe. Bring tis, . too vigor of action in the cause of right against wrong, of the weak against an unjust strength. Bring us renewed pride in' honor and truth to such an extent that evil men will be unable to gather a following for tbeir deeds of horror. We will forego'the usual gifts, Santa. Just bring us these. - . The Record ia only SI.

In 1874, when H art Pease Danks, musician and singer, and his wife were living happily together in New York City, he composed to her the immortal refrain The song sold, prosperity came, and with it domestic unhappiness. A separation resulted. In 1903 an old man was found dead In a rooming house in Phila delpbia. Death overtook him as he knelt beside his bed. In his hand was a copy of “ Silver Threads Among tbe Gold.” On it was pen. died: “ It's hard to grow old alone.” That was bow Danks died, and his widow died in circumstances nearly parallel in a Brooklyn rooming house years later. Eben E. Rexford is said to have written the words ,of this song while Danks wrote the melody. Let’s Have it That Way W hile we are on this subject of Christmas, let’s have a “ Made-in America Christmas.” ' Let's stop this way of doing in the past where we decorate our Christmas trees, dedicated to tbe Prince of Peace, with those gaudy glass globules made by Hitler’s un­ believing hellions and Japan’s jin- goes, simply because they are of­ fered for sale on the counters of the io«ent stores, A native pine or cedar, decorat­ ed with American made light bulbs, will this year display ' a spirit of patriotism well in keeping with A- merica’s defense program on which it is spending billions. Billions for defense, but not one rent for trih. ute to the peons of Germany and Japan with th d r cheap labor to en. rich those to whom America and all that it stands for are accursed. If it says “ Made in Germany” or “ Made in Japan,” just leave it alone and thus continue our pro­ gram of helping th e• homes of A menca and shutting, the door to tbis cheap trash shipped to this country by the bloodjr hands of dictators and killers of women and babies.—Exchange _.

Danger Season. The headline in a state ,daily: Sixteen Are Injured in Johnston Wrecks.” Quite a toll for one day in a ru­ ral North Carolina county. But the holiday season is here. Bad weather, darkness, .hustle, - bustle, traffic congestion, handicaps even the safe driver’s efforts to get through safely. December a lm o s t invariably brings tbe heaviest tiaffic derth and injury tolls, not so much on account of the weather, since January and February, which a r e alsp had weather months, usually show a re duction Inf traffic deaths, but be- cause of the hilarity, the excite­ ment, congestion, unthinking burry and the drinking which too often accompany bad weather and shorter days. One unmitigated evil not yet broken up in North Carolina is the failure to dim glaring headlights at night. Just a few days ago two persons were run over and killed in Rockingham county, ostensibly' on account of the failure of one driver to .dim bis lights in accordance with- a 1939 statute.' For three weeks there, has been no antomobile accident resulting in deaih in FW syth county. If we are to maintain this splendid re­ cord through the Christmas holiday season and save tbe ten lives that otherwise would be lost at the 1940 killing rate, every motorist and every pedestrian will have to watch bis step. But we surely can save these lives if everybody - tries hard enough.—Twin City Sentinel. Now Hi The election is now history. Re­ gardless whether yotlr favorite won or lost the American way is to ac. cept the qhoice of the majority. The breach , must be healed and again we must pursue our usual path in. life with ill will to ward no man. If you played your part in the campaign honest and square, did your consdence told you was right, you’ve done your part toward your, self, your family and your nation and you have nothing to regret. 'If you did not, then I ask God to for­ give you and teach you to know right in the:future, says the E to­ wah Enterprise. .: Too Many On Payroll Mr. Editor:—I did not before tbe election talk with a' single Re. publican or conservative that did not predict President Roosevelt's re election for a third term. They all' are now saying: “Just as I ex* pec ted; didn’t I tell you so.” W hat reasons dc> they give for their pre­ dictions? Only one reason: "H e has-a sufficient number on rhe gov. ernment payroll to elect him.” Too many men leaning on shovel handles and drawing more pay. than if they used tbe shovels. Billions of money have, been spent in buy­ ing votes. Any one could have' been, elected President with that much money to spend. The unfor­ tunate feature is that the feature is that the fate of our country has been decided by the indigent. AU this money has been borrowed and” pay day has to come. The indus­ trious and frugal citizens of any country have no interest in their country except what they can get out of it.,financially it is ready for a dictator. One proof of all this is the fact that President Roosevelt carried all the large cities and the solid South. The negro is again voting—when he votes the Democratic ticket. At least he is doing so in North Caro, lina. AU this class of both races want a living with just as little work as possible. W hat are the traditions of a country to them so long as they can get a living with­ out working for it. No Country can long survive under such condi. tions.— “T axpayer/’ in Union Re. publican.

WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK Senate Convenes in Old Court Chamber By LEMUEL F. PARTON (C o n so lid a te d F e a tu r e s —W N U S e rv ic e .) V fEW YORK. — Also bulky and ’ muscular, but less belligerent than John L. Lewis, his predecessor in office as president of C. I. O., . . . is Philip Mur- M array of CIO ra'y. He is of Silver-Tongued} Scottish de- ChecksHardFht scent and therefore giv­ en to fewer words than Mr. Lewis, and has' been a powerful offstage figure in the sensational rise of the C. I. 0. in the last four years. Conservative labor opinion sees in his selection an augury for improved labor relations under the urgency of our defense effort. He has been a negotiator and labor pacifier for three Presidents. President Wilson made him a member of his War Labor board. In 1921, President Harding used him to sidetrack a civil war in the West Virginia coal fields, with 10,000 miners in revolt. President Roosevelt asked his co­ operation in the successful adjust­ ment of the threatened steel strike of March and April, 1937. He has been a hard-hitting foe of the left­ wingers, both in the old craft union­ ism and “vertical” unionism days. A month ago, he wrote to Eugene G. Grace, president of the Betiilehem Steel corporation, proposing a con­ ference, “for the establishment of orderly industrial relations." In bis native Lanarkshire, Scotland, he was a breaker boy in the mines. He arrived in America with his family when he was 16 and went down in the pit for the Keystone Coal and Coke company in Westmoreland county, Pa. He started a small civil war when be punched the weighmaster in the nose. That, he has said many times, was one of his greatest mistakes. Thereafter he kept his temper. Bat the nose-punching started his career as a labor leader. Ihe miners made him president of their newly organized local of the United Mine Workers of America, at the age of 18. He educated himself by a corre­ spondence course and now he is a master of flawless grammar and diction. Restraining his powerful fist has not always been easy and he en­ joys vicarious milling as an eager boxing fan. He is silver-haired, slow-spoken, with a bit of the old Scottish burr on his tongue, and de­ liberate in speech and action. In behalf of his organization, • he has pledged labor’s full co-operation in defense. He is married and has a 21- year-old son. ♦---- QUTZON BORGLUM, 73-year-old sculptor, recently made the ra­ dio presentation of awards in na­ tional poster contest of the William Alien White Gutzon Borglum, Committee to Sculptor, a Man Defend Amer- Of Varied Talents > a by Aiding th e A llie s.

Standing op, his mountain-side Abraham Lin­ coln would be 465 feet tall. He’s never so happy as when he has a steam shovel for a chisel and a carload of dynamite for a mal­ let. He has a hair-trigger tem­ per, ridiitg any big political cy­ clone that may happen to kick up. His first attempt at gargan­ tuan mountain carving, for. the Confederate memorial at Stone Mountain, Ga., broke np in a row, in which models and plans were destroyed.

Pres­ ton Siurges, .who is directing the piciure, wrote the' script ■ as well; like all of his scripts, it not : only makes interesting reading I but gladdens the hearts of all I connected with the picture be­ cause of the highly-descriptive instructions. For instance—the casting experts knew just what kind of girl to get for a bit part, be­ cause Sturges had written “She’s a sweetie in a sweat­ er.” Edith Head, costume designer, had no doubts about what was required when she read “Our senses reel as we see' her in her brid­ al nightgown.” In­ structions for Bar­ bara Stanwyck in­ clude “She screams like a steam whis­ tle” and “She smiles like a leopard­ ess and almost purrs.” But Henry Fonda was rather startled when-he encountered, in his own part, “Un­ fortunately, as he says this, he looks like an idiot.”With “The Great McGinty” and “Christmas in July” to his credit, Sturges, who used to write success­ ful, plays, has become one of those directors whose pictures you can’t afford to miss. — *—Joan Crawford will have Melvyn Douglas (who’s jast signed a new contract with Metro) and Conrad Veidt as her leading men in “A Woman’s Face,” which originally was made-in Sweden with Ingrid Berman in the leading role.— *— Bette Davis deserves new laurels tor her performance In “The Let­ ter.” She does some superb acting in a difficult role. Perhaps you re­ member the story—Jeanne EageIs made it in 1929, after Katharine Cor­ nell had appeared In a play versed on tbe Somerset Maugham story. It Is the. story of the Wife of an Eng­ lish rubber planter in the Malay States; she kills a man, but an in­ criminating letter exists, which must be recovered. The entire cast—James Stephen­ son, Herbert Marshall, Gale Sonder- gaard—is excellent, and William Wy­ ler’s direction could not be improved on. Paulette Goddard is up to her neck in snow, figuratively speaking. The first winter snows are blanket­ ing upper reaches of the San Bernar­ dino mountains and as president of Southern Skis she’s resuming active di­ rection of the or­ ganization. Among its members are Claudette Colbert, N orm a S hearer, G alli-C urci an d King Vidor. And incidentally, speaking of the charming Claudette, her latest picture, “Arise My Love,” deserves the avalanches of praise that it’s been receiving. Of course, in her role of foreign correspondent, she does dr£ss better than any real newspaper woman. But who cares? She's delightful, she plays her big emotional scenes expertly, she’s convincing.

They’re very effective done in white and the color of the kitchen. Patten 2545 contains charts and direc­tions for making potholders: illustration ot them and stitches; materials needed. Send order to: I NSTEAD of pulling out that old box of glass ornaments to decorate your. Christmas - tree, why not make it a “Goody Tree” this winter? It looks nice, it’s lots of fun to make, !and it’s still more fun to eat die orna­ ments when Christmas is over. Popcorn balls, cookie Santa Clauses, surprise-nuts, candy canes and a dozen oth­ er delicacies can hang from the tree on Christmas morning. Instead of just looking at the pretty tree standing in the corner, you can reach out and eat some of the nice things that' hang from its branches. A Goody Tree doesn’t cost very much because the few materials needed are later eaten anyway. No real work is required to make the goodies; parents and children can have a lot of tu n working together to make their tree pretty. Popcorn Strings. Popcorn strings always look pretty on the tree. They’re easy to make, too. Paint some popcorn with veg­ etable coloring. Then thread it on a piece of string, keeping a regular combination of colors, such as one red and one white, or one red and two white. Popcorn balls can be fixed next. Boil two cups of sugar with syrup and pour over freshly buttered pop­ corn. Mix well and allow to cool slightly. Butter your hands thor­ oughly, then shape into balls. When the balls are shaped, push a string into them before you put them aside to dry. This will make them easier to hang. Surprise nuts always make a hit with the children—and grown-ups, too. Scoop the nutmeats out of a couple dozen walnuts, being careful not to crack or break the shells. Into each two pieces of empty shell, place a little gift, such as a shiny new penny, a piece of candy, a lit­ tle trinket, or even a' dime. Place a piece of knotted string between the two halves before glueing them together. When the gfue is dry, paint the shells bright colors. Be­ fore long, no one will remember what is inside any one of'them: Buy some nice, solid red apples and a few good looking oranges. Shine the apples until they glisten, then stack them id the shape of a pyramid at the base of the tree. Be careful to ar­ range the oranges and apples in some regular order or design. Christmas Cookies. When you bake Christmas cookies, put as'm uch color into the figures as possible. Break some hard can­ dy and put in UtUe pieces for eyes, or make a few buttons down the front of the shirt. Push a piece of string through each cookie so it can be hung on the tree. Lollypops may easily be made at­ tractive. Simply tie some fancy bows made out of ceUophane or col­ ored'paper around the stems. Can­ dy canes always dress up a tree, and can be purchased almost any­ place. If you have some tinfoil, use it to make a few smaU cornucopias. Shape it into the form of a cone and push a piece of string through one side. Fill the cone with Uttle candies and it is ready to hang on the tree. Many more things can be made for the tree. Use any ideas you might have—it' will make the tree more your own. The goodies are hung on the tree the same as regular ornaments. It is advisable, however, to place them so that smaU children can get at some candies without danger of pull­ ing down the tree. When it is all finished, the Goody. Tree will probably give you the most fun out of Christmas you’ve had In years. Illu m in a ted C hristm as Tree on F ront L aw n W ill G ive E xtra B ea u ty to Y o u r H om e A N ILLUMINATED tree in front sh. of a house always makes it look more “homey’’ on Christmas eve. It need not necessarily be a pine or fir tree—it may be any ever­ green standing apart or in shrub­ bery hugging the house. The Ughted tree or shrub not only makes the home look more beauti­ ful, but also serves as a definite contribution to the community Christmas spirit. There is, of course, a right and a wrong way to do this, as there is in doing everything else. The ordinary indoor Christmas tree Ughting sets are not apt to prove very satisfac­ tory, although often they serve the purpose. BUtmudimoreoftentheir exposure to the elements spells their doom. For one thing the lamps are quite small, and also because the cord or wire is not properly pro­ tected by rubber or other safety in­ sulation that wiU aid it in withstand­ ing tiie uncertain weather of Christ­ mas week. In buying such an iUuminating set it is, therefore, necessary to tell the electrician from whom you are pur­ chasing it for what purpose it is in­ tended, and ask him to suggest the best way to connect .it. If it is to be plugged in on your house lighting circuit, make certain that the total wattage of the set does not pull the full capacity of the cir- VlfluVTVIYVvTl ■ ■ « « • I I r .UXVUIUft I I j J cult. Particularly if that is a cir­ cuit frequently used for heating, Codting appliances, operating a pi­ ano or a phonograph or serving a charger for the radio. Otherwise, it may cause you considerable, an­ noyance blowing fuses. It will hot be necessary to piace any ornaments upon the tree, al­ though a very few might improve the appearance. It is advisable not- to place too many lights upon the tree. -If they are dose together, the real beauty of the tree may be lost.

The Yule festival was celebrated by the early tribes about the same time that we ob­ serve Christmas. The season was opened by bring­ ing in the Yule log, This was fol­ lowed by decorat­ ing the home with holly, then Bing­ ing, dancing and ,’easting oa phjm pudding, and min <j pies. * THE HOLIDAY SEASON “,APPROACHES! ./ " (See Recipes Below) ! . One of the most important occa­ sions 'in the year’s schedule of holi­ days is the Christmas dinner. As homemakers, it behooves ' us to crown it with a superlative dessert. Cakes, fragrant with spices,, and rich with fruits and nuts, are tradi­ tional Christmas fare, and are more than satisfying as a finale to- the .feast. Fruit cakes improve with age,- They become mellow and more fla- vorsome as the. days go by. So, make them early and let.them ripen until the holiday season arrives. Proper storage prevents fruit cakes from molding and drying out. Wrap the cooled cakes in wax paper,-and- store in tightly covered tins. Pour a little wine or fruit juice over the .cakes, every week or so, and when ready to be served they will be mel­ lowed to the proper degree. Make out your Christmas list now. T m sure you will find a few friends and relatives to whom you may send fruit cakes. They will make- charming gifts, especially for those away from home,... and ; who. have neither time nor the facilities to bake their own. Wrapped in cel­ lophane and tied with a bow) or fastened with colorful Christmas seals, the packaged fruit cake is indeed “lovely to look at, and de­ lightful to eat.” A box of Christmas cookies of va­ rious shapes, sizes and kinds will be an appreciated present for some­ one on your list. Perhaps it is the kindly- little old lady next door, or ’the lonely- old man down on the comer, both of whom will thank ;you for your thoughtfulness. Christmas Frnit Cake.

VAN DE WATER ^i.. •. V*'v S 5 & ^ ii® 3 W S . CHAPTER IX—Continued —11 — “If," I went on, “you’ll let me fceep my amateur standing, I’ll be very glad to escort your niece. Otherwise, as I told you, I’m busy.” “ ‘Pride goeth before destruc­ tion,’ ” Miss Agatha informed me. “Why don’t you finish it?" I asked. “ ‘And a haughty spirit before a fall.’ * She stared at me for a long mo­ ment. Then she nodded. “Yes,” she told me, “I suppose you’re right. Will you be here at eight, David?" “With pleasure," I said and, gath­ ering up my copy, went back to the workroom. If Lyon had not opened the door of his apartment as I left Miss Aga­ tha’s, I should have forgotten him entirely. “Hello,” said he. *Td just about given you up and was on my way out for a paper. Come in.” His flat was bright with lights but it had a feeling of emptiness. He explained as he took my hat and coat that lone and Everett had gone for a walk. “He’s a lazy dog,” Lyon said eas­ ily; “takes no exercise, whatever, and of course when there’s a strain, it simply pulls him all apart. Here we are.” . He had led me into the living room and pointed to the trophy above the mantelpiece. I admired it and with an effort kept from looking behind the couch where the black- bearded body had lain. Lyon ran through his collection with the engaging pride of a child, taking down sabers, claymores, ra­ piers, thrusting them upon me to swing and balance while he chat­ ted of their history and where and how he acquired them. Itw as pleas­ ant to see a middle-aged man so openly gleeful. “Here,” he said at last, his leath­ ery face glowing, “are my best be­ loveds,” and opened a long rose­ wood box. From chamois casing, he drew one forth, an epee de combat, and handed it to me tenderly. It was a beautiful weapon, a little longer than the French dueling sword—a full yard I judged from the etched steel shell of the guard to the button of waxed thread that blunted the point,/ yet sweetly balanced and easy to my hand. “Like it?" Lyon asked artlessly. “Very much,” I told him. “It would be a joy to use.” He looked wistfully about the room. “I don’t suppose,” he mused, “that we could. I say! Let’s shove the- sofa aside and try. Oh come,” he urged as I hesitated. "Here are masks”—he lifted them from the wall—“and we shan’t need gloves. Indulge an old man whose fencing days are over, Mallory. Just for a minute or so. It will be . all I can stand, I assure you.” ■ He had stripped off his jacket as he talked. His enthusiasm and the pleading of the sword in my hand impelled me to follow him. We thrust the sofa against the wall, put on our masks, and faced each other. “En garde,’! he cried in an odd voice. His blade darted for my throat. Instinct alone prompted my parry. He caught my thrust, on his guard and the shell uttered a high clear note. His riposte grazed my arm. The fury of his attack startled me. I shifted so that light fell upon his weapon. The button that made mine harmless was missing from his. The blunt, nail-head point had bro­ ken off. The new steel of the frac­ ture was a flickering spark before me. I cried a warning, and lowered my blade. Lyon Ferriter laughed harshly and lunged. CHAPTER X Body, not mind, saved me. The reflex centers that keep half-forgot­ ten training helped my sword to en­ gage and delay his. I leaped back­ ward barely in time and he had me in a corner. I could retreat no far­ ther. Our blades bound. There was no sound but our breathing and. the whisper of steel on steel. In that odd instant of delay, neither of us spoke. I knew it was useless to repeat my warning and he, em­ barked on his purpose, had no need for words. I parried the deadly spark' of that unguarded point. As­ tonishment’s half-palsy had van­ ished. Understanding came in that split second, as lightning I^ares a landscape. His face was blurred by the mask but I could see purpose in the pose of his body; could feel it in the vigi­ lant movement of his blade along my own. I felt little fear. It was hard to recoghjze death in a famil­ iar and heretofore safe sport. Shame was uppermost in my mind, and shame sired anger. , Thought of my own stupidity row- eled me. By a pose of mystery, by fatuous hints to Everettv and Lyon I had asked for this. I had stuck my neck out. While his brother and sister found an alibi elsewhere, Iyon would silence me so deftly that, no m atter what others might suspect, he would:be safe. I wondered what he thought I knew that made my murder necessary — and then had time for no further thought. His sword had felt and tested and tapped mine. Automatically, I had re*ponded He fointed now to lift my guard and followed with a lunge Ihat I barely turned. He caught my riposte.- For an instant we faced each other. A strange calm held me. I had fathomed his purpose and now I understood how he would perform it. He was a trained fencer, strong­ er if no quicker than I. He held his weapon delicately in the French fashion. He could have run me through before now, if he had wiped away his instinctive regard for my utterfy harmless sword. But he could not—or would not. The zest of con­ test had him. Eventually he would Mil me, foully if necessary, but first he would match his skill against mine, seeking a fair opening through which to drive his point. Steels sibUance broke now and then in the high thin chime of blade upon resonant shell guard, an inno­ cent, mocking sound. I fought care­ fully, knowing that my first mis­ take.would be my last and, in the fascination of contest, be tolerated me.Defense would not serve me. He could at any minute catch my harm­ less'blade in his free hand and drive his own point home. My sole, frag­ ile chance lay in a trick. It could be attempted only once. It must be tried before the already aching mus­ cles of my sword arm grew weary. The blades engaged and parted with clicks and brief sharp sigh- ings. The shell guards rang bright­ ly. We moved against each other, “Whatever is on your mind will have to be unloaded while I shave.” cat-footed, sharp-witted, tight-bod­ ied. And I felt myself tiring. I forced all myself into desperate assault. My purpose needed the deft­ ness of long practice, which I lacked. Strength it demanded too, and I doubted if I had enough, but it was my only chance. The apparent wildness of my at­ tack pleased Lyon. He must have seen in it the flurry before the end, and so he contented himself merely with parrying my weapon, wait­ ing until my vain fury should flag. I thought I heard him chuckle as he turned aside my thrust. And then, for a flash, his blade was where I wanted it. I threw my life into the trick d’Armhaillac had taught me. My sword whipped about his in clumsy imitation of the French­ man’s deadly cutover. I heard him gasp. I saw the epee half torn from his hand. He was quick in recovering, but I was swifter. I leaped forward to pass him and, in the'leap,, brought my own weapon down like a whip across die lmuckles of his sword hand. He grunted. Behind me, I heard the ringing clatter of the dropped epee. I reached the table and tore off the mask with my left hand. My right gripped the ornate hilt of a sixteenth-century Italian rapier. With the long blade ready, I whirled. Lyon had made no effort to re­ trieve his fallen sword. He had tak­ en off his mask and was sucking with a slight frown the hand I had struck. His calm was more shock­ ing than fury. It saved his life for, at the instant, I should have run him through right' gladly. Lyon looked up from his injury with a rueful smile and his words made me feel that I had reached in dark­ ness for a step that was not there. “Effective,” he said quietly, "though perhaps not quite ortho­ dox.” He seemed for the first time to see the long sword in my hand and lifted his eyebrows. He was still breathing fast but was quite unruf­ fled. I wondered, for a wild in­ stant, which one of us was mad. His dignity, the normal furnishings of the room, mocked my recent , ter­ ror. Yet I kept the ropier ready. “Entirely unorthodox.” I agreed, striving to match his self-possession, “but necessary. And now that we’ve —enlightened 'each other. I’ll be'go­ ing.” His bewilderment, as I backed toward the door, gathering up my outer clothing, made me feel silly. “I don’t understand,” said Lyon slowly. "Neither,” I told him, "do.I.” \ With the table between him and me and the door behind me, I let go of the rapier and laying aside 3 r.r.VAH D IVM TIH *VV>.V'.V 'v a n . U - S c r v l c * overcoat and hat, thrust myself into my jacket. I kept my eyes on him. His. expression was so perfectly as­ tonished that if quickened a doubt. This made me angry at myself and I snapped; “You can stop registering purify of heart Look at your epee.” He stared at the weapon on the floor before him, glanced at me In something like fright and, bending, picked it up. He reached oufhis left hand and tried the broken point with his thumb. “My God!” he said at last “Exactly,” I answered. Color quickened his tanned face. He looked from me to the. weapon and back again. “It’s—it’s—why—” he babbled and then burst out; “Good Lord, Mal­ lory, I might have killed you.” I admired his acting—if acting It were—and was ashamed of myself for even questioning its fraudulence. I said: “That was my impression, too.” “You thought,”, he groped, “you thought that I would—I never looked. The button must have snapped—it must be about. Ah!” He bent down on his side of the table and rose with the little blob of waxed thread in his hand. It wab­ bled on his trembling palm. "It snapped off,” he said in a hushed voice. “It must have when I tried the steel.” The memory of the weapon, flung ceilingward - by its own resilience, shook my belief. Lyon rocked It further now by asking in mixed in­ dignation and reproach; "Why didn't you tell me, man? Am I not In enough trouble without —that?” He swore proficiently. I asked: “Are you deaf, by any Chancer Or maybe it’s just a bad memory. I did tell you. Perhaps I should have stopped to write.” Lyon looked at me a long min* ute. His question was simple and dazing as a punch in the jaw. “Didn’t you know that I was deaf ?” I pulled myself together and jeered: . “Congratulations on a fast recov­ ery.” He shook his head. “My boy, I can read lips, but I’m quite deaf." The smile vanished from his lean face and dim horror succeeded it. “I heard you call,” he said. His voice shook a little. “I couldn’t tell what you were saying. Your faca was masked. I thought—” He broke off ,savagely and shrugged. “What in hell,” he stormed, “do you care what I think? Or for my apology? Or for the fact that ITI never touch sword again? Yog thought, you had every right to think —But why, Mallory, in heaven’s name, should I want to kill you?” I didn’t know whether he were honest or not. I knew that I could serve myself best by letting' him think I believed him so. “That question,” I told him, “also occurred to me.” He drew himself together with • shudder. “Well,” he said and gave a erode ed smile, “you’ve given me some­ thing else to think about, anyway. If the police had found a second body—I wish there were something I could do or say or offer as apology for—” “Let it go at that,” I broke in. I picked up my hat and coat and left. He made no movement to follow me. I had a bare hour to change M return to the Paget apartment what I reached my lodging house. I gal­ loped up the stair, thrust open th« door and paused, staring. “Hi, accomplice,” said Jerry Cochrane, “I began to think you’d moved again.” He sat beneath the lighted wall bracket and gave a bland smile. I was not too hospitable. “Whatever,” I told him, !‘is o« your mind will have to be unloaded while I shave and dress.' I’ve got a date.” “Oh-ho,” crooned Cochrane, and looked at me with fake mildness. “Something more important than your duty to your paper, for which every reporter worthy of the name would give his life blood?” “In round numbers, about a thou­ sand times as important—to me.” I told him where J was going while I stripped off coat, vest and shirt. He said mildly: "For a country lad, you aim high. Mister.” I let that pass. Cochrane droned: “I’ve found out something.” “So what?” I wasn’t encouraging^ He blinked and beamed. “You remember the guy I told yea about, who went gold hunting with Lyon Ferriter, and never cams back?” The question stopped me as J turned toward the bureau for my shaving kit. I nodded. “Horstinait, wasn’J it?” . “The same,” Cochrane droned. “This Everett Ferriter, the broth­ er, does he look like a Heinie?” “Is’this,” I asked, rasped by the knowledge that he hid something, “a game of twenty questions? Ijl so, let’s postpone it. Look like a Heinie? Of course he doesn’t; 'He’s got a phony Oxford accent, a littll waxed mustache, a faintly mains, manner and a letch for cologne.

SHARING THE SHEPHERDS’ JOY (Christmas Lesson) LESSON TEXT-Lnke 2:8-20.COLDEN TEXT-^JIory to God In the highest, and on earth peace, good will to­ward men.—Luke 2:14. Tinsel and toys, snow and .leigh bells, crowded department stores and rushing throngs, gifts and greet­ ing cards, Christmas dinner and fel­ lowship with family and friends— is that all Christmas means to us? AU these things are proper in their place—exciting and interesting—but they are not enough. They have never been enough and certainly they wUl not do this year, with a world in chaos. We need not lose any of - the thrilling enjoyment of Christmas by properly observing the day; in fact, we shaU only en­ hance its meaning and bring out its real glory by keeping Christ at the heart of our Christmas. The opening verses of Luke 2 teU us of the coming of Mary withglo- seplt to God’s appointed place at His appointed time for the coming into this world of His Son to be made flesh and dweU among us (John I: 14). Our lesson tells us of I. Good/Tidings of Great Joy (w . 8-14). God had good news .foi the people of this world and He gave it, as was His custom, to those who were faith- fuHy discharging their humble duties (cf. Judg. 6:11, 12; I Kings 19:19). God is still ready to reveal His glory and grace in die “office, kitchen, mill, barn school-room, and open field—places where people are at work on daily tasks”' (Doug­ las). You need not be in the great church in a large city to meet Him on Christmas day. He wUl reveal Himself in aU His beauty where you are, though you be in the humblest surroundings and at the most menial task. Look for Him! Jesus came as a Saviour. “The world did not want an adviser. The world had advised itself almost into heU. The world did not ask for a speculator. Everything that man could do had been done, and men sat in the darkness of their own wisdom. The world did not want a reformer, a man who could change hiS outward and transient relations, an engineer that would continually devote his time (for appropriate re­ muneration) to die readjustment of the wheels and the pulleys and the various mechanical forces of soci­ ety. The. world wanted a saviour” (Joseph Parker). Note that the army of heaven came to declare peace, not war; but only to those in “whom He is well pleased” (v. 14, R. V,). As long as men serve the devil and displease God, they will have no peace. H. 'Great Faitb and Consistent Action (w . 15, 16). The shepherds did not say, “Let us now go and see if this thing has come to pass,” or “which we expect or hope will come to pass,” but said, “which is come to pass.” They went not to test God’s word, but in the assurance that they would “see” what had come to pass. Blessed faith! Let us too believe God’s word to us. But “faith without works is dead” (James 2:17). The shepherds might have made many excuses for not going but “they came” and “found” the Saviour. Perhaps you who read these words have failed at that point; you have not come to Jesus as your Saviour. No more appro­ priate time could be found to come than right now. Believe, then act on your- faith. Some of us who are Christians need also to learn of the shepherds. We talk a great deal about our de­ votion to Christ. Especially at this Christmas season we render much “lip service” to Him. Let us make it real, and our lives virile and active for Him. III. GoodNews for Meditation and Proclamation (w . 17-20). The gospel is literally “good news.” What a blessed privilege it is to have such good news in a day of evil tidings, of darkness and despair. There are two things we ought tc do with the gospel of God’s redeem­ ing grace. We should make it known to the ends of the earth, but we should also do as Mary, “whc kept all these things and pondered them in her heart.” We know she had special reasons for doing so, but may we not suggest thatiyor tea make this Christmas a time when you will ponder in your own heart what God has done for you iz Christ? " The shepherds also set us a Christ mas example, for they “made known abroad” the coming of the Saviour. Will you tell someone else today? Will you, like the shep­ herds, be'"glorifying and praiain| God” this Christmas? You-will i you, Uke them, go to the mangel and meet Jesus. If you go to thb world’s empty show of celebration you will return empty (see v. 20 ). May the blessed peace of Chris: be yours, this Christmas.- That it my wish from- the heart’ to you Ruth Wyeth Spedrs o-S?

N am e ............................ Address ............................................. Her Fourth Finger The custom of women wearing engagement rings and wedding rings on the fourth finger of the lest hand arose from Ihe ancient belief that that finger contained a delicate nerve or a vein, called “love’s vein,” connected directly with the heart. By wearing the engagement or wedding ring on the fourth finger of the left hand, therefore, a wom­ an sought to show not only that she was betrothed but that her heart was touched. J U S DoubIeThat “Men are all alike.” “Yes, men are all I like, too.” Some Difference “I feel like a two-year-old.” “Horse or egg?” Willing to End It ttCatt you lend m e 1 5 ? *“I’d., rather not. Lending money al­ ways breaks up a friendship.” "Well, we've never been very good friends, have we?” Ease and Work Willie—What is the difference between capital and labor, Dad? Dad—Well, son, the money you lend represents capital—and get­ ting it back represents labor. Bmming into debt isn’t’half as awkward as ranning into your creditors. That Settles It Teacher—Johnny, give three proofs that the earth is round. Johnny—Yes’m. The books say so, you say so, and Ma says so. ' Final Words Boogy— Can you mention any fa­ mous last words? Woogy — The bridegroom’s “I do.” As He Sometimes Does “Your wife is a brilliant talkec I could listen to her all night.” “You should have to.” The honeymoon is over when the wonderful look in her eyes turns to a look of wonder. - Enough for Him Judge—You know, the law pre­ sumes you to be innocent. Cuprit — Then why all these elaborate preparations to convict me? Narrow Minds Narrow minds think nothing right that is above their own ca­ pacity.—La Rochefoucauld.

The return of Jesus has cheered the weary pilgrims all the way, and is the blessed hope of to* day. The good Book is full of it. Failure to preach the good hews of the good news of tbe coming king, dom has caused, delay. His com­ ing is at tbe door. It most be hear. Let him that readeth understand. Luke 21 -25. S ig n sth atsay it is time to look up and rejoice. Men will say where is the promise of His coming. A faithful and wise servant will be given meat in due season. Read 2nd Peter, Matt. 24. 25 Evil servant will say, my Lord delayeth His coming, and will eat and get drunk. Christ was offered for many and they that look for him. Shall he appear without sin unto salvations. The signs in the world are preten­ tious. One must be dull not to see that men’s wisdom and might will not avail, while they use all their inventive genius and power to kill and destroy. God says to even love your enemies. It is good that some preach that Jesus is coming back in person. It is truth just what the messengers told the desetples. This same Jesus Acts i :io i i .

Better to Light a Candle (By Susan Thayer) Thete’s an old saying about the dark that takes on a new meaning now that such great darkness has has descended upon the world. “ Better to light a candle,” it runs, “ than to rail at the dark:” Better to do the small things that you and I, as women, can do In their own homes—our own com­ munities—our own towns—than to sit still and moan because we can’t make a speech to the whole world or help draw up the laws in Wash­ ington. Representative democracy, like many other desirable things, begin at home, and that is where your in. fluence is supreme; here you set the pattern and determine that atmos­ phere.

A good many folks think a news­ paper can survive without financial aid from the -community in which it is printed. A t least that is the impression we get. The progressiveness of a city is largely reflected through the news paper. Every publisher has a pride in his community and he wants to see it the best place in which to live. W bat insticution does more boost ing than the home paper? If you have done something you are proud of, you want the paper to publish it. If the church is going to have a revival, the newspaper is going to give space to it. If tbe school or the T . T. A., is having a special program, the news paper is asked to give wide publi­ city to the event. If you have received a nice pro motion with your company, you want it heralded through the paper. Ify o u have some improvement in your your- place of -business, you want notice made of it. If you get married, you want lots of nice things said about you. If the Jodge is to have a social of some kind, the newspaper is asked to make mention of the fact and nrge all to come. If there is something you don’t like about the way your city and county government is being run you ask the editor to criticize the of­ ficials. When tbe time comes to make a drive for certain worthy cause's in your community, tbe newspaper is asked to give liberal space to the campaign. When yon get in trouble, and want it kept a secret, you ask the newspapers to keep it silent. If you want to promote some1 civic enterprise, you ask the sup­ port of the press. And you have printing done, you will forget tbe home town paprer, the better newspsper the comma nity will have. If your local paper is an asset to your city, then it deserves your sup- Port- - Here’s something to think about. -—Somerset (K y.) Journal Horse and Dollar Bill Sold For 90 Cents.

Regulation Belongs At Home. The trend toward centralization of governmental functions in W ash, ington has been especially pro­ nounced, in the field of utility regu­ lation. We have seen the effective pow­ ers of tbe state commissions, year by year, narrowed, restricted, erod- ed and displaced by acts of Con gress, and through administration and interpretation of these acts by the Federal regulatory commissions set up by them, approach the va. nishing point. That trend is of direct import­ ance to all the people Ot this conn, try A certain degree of Federal regulations of utilities may be nec­ essary in case where power is in terchanged between companies a- cross state lines. The danger ap­ pears WhenFederal regulation sup­ plants local regulations in cases where only local needs.are primar­ ily concerned.: Federal regulation is inelastic—fixed rules must be es. tablished which are applied in blanket fashion to the whole coun. trv, irrespective of varying local conditions. State regulation, on tbe 'other hand, is flexible-dthe commissioners are intimately ac­ quainted with -conditions in the areas within their jurisdiction and are in a position to make rulings and establish policies which fit those conditions. Tbe progress that was made in electric development be fore Federal utility regulation was conceived, is proof of-that. State government is closer to tbe people, and the awareness, interest and participation of tbe people are greater where responsibility- i s placed at the state level. If tbe state is deprived of its initiative and responsibility, the opportuni. ties of the people for experimenta­ tion and progress in self-govern­ ment tend to give place to centra­ lized bureaucratic control whose errors affect the nation as a whole, and not merely the people of a par­ ticular state. .

C. 9 By FREDERIC F, VAN DE WATEA VAH OC W ATERv W . n -u. s e r v i c e CHAPTER X-Continued —12— "Maybe not,” Cochrane answered dreamily, “but he changed his name t» Ferriter, during the war.” *<!King George—Gawd bless ’im— changed his too,” I jeered. ’ The innocent facfe before me beamed. “He changed it to Ferriter,” my caller droned. “It used to be Horst- wan.” I stared. Cochrane’s expression Was as guileless as a pan of milk. “!.give up,” I said.at last, ‘T m not good at riddles. What’s the an­ swer?” 4T don’t know,” the reporter told w e gently. “I hoped that, maybe, we could find one together. And now I’m all muddled up. If it’s any of my business, what was your date with the pure young man?” “Are you completely goofy?” asked. “What man?” 44The guy with the sneeze expres­ sion and the cologne,” Cochrane went on. “He said he was waiting to see you.” I looked at him hard. “Waiting? Where?" My astonishment seemed to com- tort Cochrane. He beamed. 44In here,” he said. “It must have been Everett, though I’ve never had a doseup of him before. He blew a minute after I came. Seemed pretty anxious to go, too.” “Who let him in?” I began and then remembered I had told Mrs. Shaw to admit any man who called. Again in my mind, the swarm of half-uttered questions stung and flew. “Search me,” Cochrane answered, “but he let himself out before I could learn who be was. You weren’t expecting a call from Mr. Ferriter- Horstman?” 4T was not,” I snapped and turn­ ing opened the bureau drawer. I didn’t hear the question Cochrane asked. My face must have been strange for his own changed when I looked at him again. : 4*He came here," I said slowly, “to search this room. He’s been through the bureau.” : “Did he get what he was after? Cochrane asked. “I don’t,” I answered, “even know What he was looking for.” CHAPTER XI Codiraite said gently: "You might check if he’s taken anything.” By the mess in the bureau draw­ er, my visitor had not been a cool and careful seeker, or perhaps the reporter had come in before he could reorder the jumble of hand­ kerchiefs, neckties and the like. “He’s left me my razor,” I told Cochrane, “and that’s what I need most right now. If there’s any more confusion you want to spread, you can trot along to the bathroom with Ine. In his cherubic face, his eyes were bright. “You don’t let business interfere with your pleasure, laddie?” "Nof~this time,” I snapped, and be grinned. "Go ahead,” he waved at the door, “I’ll just sit here and think.” He was staring as though the op­ posite wall were not there when I returned. ~ “Why should he want to rob' you?” he asked. “Why,” I threw back at him, “should his brother want to kill me? and while I dressed, I told him of my duel with Lyon. Cochrane lit a mgarette and watched the smoke he Mew. He did not speak, until I bent before the mirror to tie my tie. Then he said in mild complaint: “I wish crime could be a little more orderly. We pick up bits here end scraps there and, put them all together, they spell nothing.” I was pulled two ways. I wanted Io stay and sift the day’s events with Jerry in the hope of finding coher-' nice in their madness. I wondered, as I fidgeted and looked at my watch, if anything but the promise of this evening could possibly make me willing to leave. “Why,” Cochrane asked, narrow- eyed, “should one of the Horstman- Feiriter boys try to kill you and the ether toss your room so inexpertly?” “You tell me,” I said. “I’ve got fen minutes more, at most." “Then,” he answered, getting up, “we better spend it elsewhere. Let’s go, laddie.” “Go where?” “We’ll call on your friend Everett. Anyone in such beautiful evening clothes ought to be able to get me into the Morello. So far, Ihe out­ side lobby has been my farthest north. Yoicks, my son.” OF “Wait a minute. We gw to see Everett. Itellhim Ithinkherobbed me. He says he didn’t. And that’ll be that. How far does it get us?” “Just about as far as you’d get by charging Lyon with felonious as­ sault. But if the jittery gent is borne alone and we can get to him— Well, I think he’ll break down. He looks like the sort that can’t take it. And laddie, when I’m crowded, I can deal it.” “He had another nervous collapse or whatever, this noon,” I told my companion as we pulled on our coats. “He’s not built for a murder­ er.” “Those that aren’t built for it suf­ fer, worst when they do it,” Coch- tane replied with an angelic smile mid led the war downstairs. .. We hailed a! taxi and drove to­ ward the Morello. Beside me, Coch­ rane smoked in silence for some minutes before he asked with the sleepy air he! used when things were most important: “I don’t suppose you’ve had time, during your toilet, to give a thought to the fact that Everett used to be Horstman?” “This nightmare,” I told him, “moves too fast for me to think much of any one thing. What are you brooding on now?” “Well,” he said, “Horstman could be a German name, eh?” I nodded. He went on, softly: “And it was (a German voice you heard, over the phone, just before Blackbeard was killed?” He saw that he had pricked me and beamed. ; “You don’t think,” I asked angri­ ly, "that I don’t know Everett’s "Yon aren’t just a spectator.” voice? You really can’t think that he has the guts to—” “If you knew,” Cochrane broke in, 'the number and variety of the things I can think, you’d be dis­ mayed and grieved. Anyway, you might chew on that a little, during your wooing of the lovely heiress.” ‘Listen,” I began and glared at him. He smiled sweetly. “I don’t want to hear a word,” he answered. “Here we are at the scene of the crime.” Walters, the night doorman, was in attendance on a shiny town car when our cab drew up at the Morel­ lo and Cochrane followed me into the foyer, unchallenged. Fineman was on the switchboard. He seemed too dazzled at sight of me. in formal clothes to notice the reporter and, at my request, telephoned the Fer­ riter apartment. “Nobody home,” he said, flicking down the switch. “The old boy, him that was pinbhed after the killing, went out twenty minutes ago.” “I wanted to see his brother.” Everett’s absence cheered me. Apparently, the furies had found an­ other job and my way upstairs to the Paget apartment was dear, at IasE “Him?” asked Fineman. “He hasn’t shown1 since I came on. I’ll tell him, if he comes.” 'Do that,” I answered and turned back to Cochrane. He grinned at my news. “WelJ,” he said, “we tried any­ way. Good; night to you, Prince Charming. Have a nice opera. I think I’ll nose around a bit. Not in here, where I pollute the patrician atmosphere and run a chance of get­ ting heaved out on my neck, but out­ side. I’ll be seeing you, laddie." “I feel like a pup, walking out on you now,” I said. “I certainly hope you do,” Coch­ rane answered cheerfully. Miss Agatha and Allegra were in the living room. There was coffee on the table beside them and its fragrance for an instant made me aware that I had missed another meal. Then Allegra smiled and I forgot prosaic food. She was very fair in her black evening dress with the frosty coronet in her hair; so lovely of body and face, that I looked quickly away and endured the old lady’s humorous glare.. “David,” Miss Agatha asked, “do you always appear everywhere ex­ actly on time with the look of one who has run the last hundred yards?” 'I always run at least the last hun­ dred when I’m going to see you,” I told her. Allegra giggled. Miss Agatha re­ torted: )‘My dear boy, I*ve been a whet­ stone on which many men have sharpened their gallantry for use on others. You don’t impress me. Go on to your opera. It's Wsguer and it serves you both righE” .. I held the glittering, fur-collared coat in which, Allegra wrapped her­ self. The fragrance of her hair made me slightly dizzy. She went to her aunt and, bending, kissed her. I saw the old hands catch one of hers and hold it tightly, passion­ ately, for an instant. There was pathos in that. There was none in Miss Agatha’s brisk voice. “Allegra. will you remember that David Mallory starts his work again in just thirteen hours? What havoc you make of other men's nights is between you and your God. David is my employee. He’s got to do a second chapter tomorrow as good as the first. Don’t keep him out till dawn.” The girl laughed. “Agatha,” she promised, "you’ll be surprised.” “I’ve lived with you young hellions too long for that," said the old lady. The tenderness in her eyes did not reach her voice until we turned to leave the room. “Take good care of her, David,” she called after us. . CHAPTER XII Most of the first act of “Die Wat- kuere” went over my head, which, perhaps, left me even with most of the audience. I was stirred more by the girl beside me than by the fat persons" on the stage. She watched their oosturings and, when­ ever I dared, I Siatched her. _ “Didn’t it get Jau at all?” She was flushed and her eyes were brighE I rose to let our seat neigh­ bors pass into the aisle. “It got too much of me,” I told her. “Shall we get out?” “If you had an opera hat,” she said, “I’d know you were itching to wear it in the lobby with the rest of the show-offs. Me, I’d rather sit still. It takes time for me to get my breath after Ring music. Let’s just talk.” I said: “I’d rather, too. Will you pick up where we were interrupt­ ed? Why hasn’t Everett an alibi?” “Aren’t you,” she asked, “the most persistent person?” Her smile faded and her face grew troubled. She frowned and picked her words: “Measured by time, he hasn’E If you-can stretch your imagination to believe him a murderer, he might have done it.” “Then why—” I began, but she took away my question. "Why did I clear him? Because it was idiotic to dream—it’s still crazy to think—that Everett was the kill­ er. When Captain Shannon began checking up, Agatha said I had been with Everett and I let it go at that. I had been, too, but only for less than five minutes before you came In. How long he had been to our apartment before that, I don’t know, He usually spends most of the after- ■ noon to the workroom. He has a latchkey.” - Her eyes were dark with worry. I said, trying for lightness: “There are too many latchkeys.” I knew -from the way she caught her breath that the jest had hurE She sat for a moment, pleat­ ing her program with nervous fin­ gers and I felt she was trying to control her voice. It was quiet when she said at last: “Grove is with lone tonight.” I could find no answer for a mo­ ment. She went on, as though she were afraid of silence: “They probably are out together right now. They always are, when he has one of these ‘business en­ gagements’ that keeps him from coming home.” She turned and faced me, like a child who is sorry for a fault. “Maybe that’s not fair. Maybe she loves him. It’s just that—well, I’m jealous, I suppose. Grove and I have been very close since we were little children and now—we’re not. That’s not all. This murder seems to have turned everyone’s world—but Agatha’s—upside down. I’m frightened for Grove. He’s walk­ ing deep into something. And I’m— afraid.” “Sure,” I said, "I know how you feel.” The thick voice I had heard over the telephone; the still unexplained disappearance of the murderer; Grove turning on the light to the Ferriter apartment; my struggle to the dark basement hallway; .Ever­ ett’s furtive raid on my room; my duel with his brother—these were blown about by the strong wind of music. Siegmundandhisrivalvrere fighting with swords on the stage. When the clumsy contest ended I found my palms clammy and my breath scanE I might at this mo­ ment be lying like toe slain Hund- tog. I looked at Allegra. She had made life important. I was sweat­ ing as toe curtain fell. Allegra, too, had felt toe music’s spell. She watched me mop my face and, I think, read there some­ thing more than toe effect of an operatic tragedy. When our neigh­ bors had gone again into toe lobby, she asked: "Just what is your—your interest to this mess?” I could tell from her eyes and toe sound of her words that she had kept that question a long while. I tried to gain time. “I don’t quite know what you mean.” , She brushed ,that away with a quick movement of her hands. “Mister,” she said with hollow gaiety, “you wouldn’t trifle with a poor girl, would you? Yoii aren’t I just a spectator. You’re to ! this up to your neck. I can feel it?. Why?” I said slowly: . “That’s a hard one. Because if I told you toe truth; if I said that my interest to a murderer and a mur­ der w as' chiefly—almost entirely— toe hope that I might help you, yes wouldn’t believe me.” ITO BK CONTlNVVt FIRST-AID AILING HOUSE by RogeryjliigSVhitman «D R o g e r 8 * W h itm a n — W N U S e rv ic e .) ■ Cracked Ceilings. Q UESTION: We are troubled with cracks to our plaster ceilings, anddately a piece three feet square fell to toe living room. The beams are six inches by two inches, and cracking may be due to excessive deflection to toe span. Would you ad­ vise replastertog, with toe possibil­ ity that toe work will not last long, or would it be practical to remove the plaster and use some one of toe rigid insulating boards? Can toe white coat of plaster be applied di­ rectly to this material, or is it bet­ ter painted? Answer: A ceiling having a great deal of vibration or movement in toe beams should not be plastered. You may have a repetition of the same trouble. Any one of toe deco­ rative insulating wallboards will most probably make a more lasting finish. A gypsum wallboard can also be used with very satisfactory results. Either of the above materi­ als should be painted; a thin plaster coat will not dp. Amateur Painting. Question: An attic room 20 feet square, used as a living-room, has a white ceiling and buff walls. It needs repainting. Could an amateur do it? If so, what material should be used, and how is it done? Would you recommend repeating the same colors? . Answer: I have seen many paint­ ing jobs by amateurs that were very successful. A paint dealer should be able to give you a handbook issued by one of the paint manufacturers, which will describe toe needs and toe processes. You will get good re­ sults with a cold-water paint con­ taining casein. This comes as a paste to be thinned with water to the proper consistency. This kind of paint is . very easily applied, and is washable when dry. A white ceil­ ing would be satisfactory, but I should be inclined to make toe walls light ivory rather than buff. How­ ever, that is a matter of persona] taste. Shady Yard. Question: I have not been suc­ cessful in growing grass or vines in my shady west side yard. At pres­ ent the ground is bare. What would you suggest for planting or sowing? Answer: Both ivy and myrtle grow well in the shade, and if these have failed, it is undoubtedly because of the poorness of toe soil. Your soil may be clay, or may need ferti­ lizer. If there is a garden club in your locality, ask toe advice of one of toe members. With the soil in good condition, you can get grass that is adapted to growing in the shade. Pachysandra would be an­ other good choice for a ground cov­ er, as it grows either in the shade or in the sun, and in poor soil. It is not intended to be walked on, how, ever. Holes in Curtains. A correspondent, writing on the letterhead of a laundry, gives his reason for toe cause of holes form­ ing in rayon curtains, saying: "Our experience shows that fine mesh rayon curtains usually become tender at the lower part toward toe middle, where the curtains meet. This is, due to the sulphuric acid in the smoke and dust which comes in through the lower part of the win­ dow, and which, together with toe rays of toe sun, causes the dam­ age.” That is interesting, and I am glad to have that professional opin­ ion. There is no doubt that toe sulphur in city air, due to smoke, goes far to. destroy not only fabrics but even more substantial ma­ terials. Roof for an Extension. Question: My house is an old- fashioned city house with a dining room extension. I should like to fix toe roof so that I could use it for a roof garden. The present roof is of tin. Please advise me as to the best and most inexpensive roof covering I can put down, one that can be walked on. Answer: A type of roof covering, which is made in blocks of an insu­ lating board saturated with asphalt, can be laid , over your present tin roof. Ask your local roofer about it.

Question: I have a farm on which I contemplate building a fieldstone house. Where can I get a book or information on this kind of work? I thought I might be able to do a lot of it myself. Answer: At a library you should be able to find a book on the build­ ing of stone houses, by Ernest Flagg, published a number of years ago by Charles Scribner’s Sons. This describes an excellent and very sim­ ple method of building stone houses. Overcoating. Question: My house has- a field- stone veneer front and clapboard sides arid back. I am thinking of covering sides and back with gray asbestos shingles. Would you ad; vise this? Answer: Instead of gray asbestos shingles, you could use similar ma­ terial in toe form of clapboards, but white instead of gray. This would not alter toe appearance of your house, and you would have the ad­ vantage of weatherproofness an' freedom from painting.

One of the chief reasons for the worldliness in our churches today, the indifference toward soul win­ ning, and toe neglect of personal ho­ liness, is that preachers and. people alike have neglected toe truth of the second coming of ChrisE 'He is coming again—are you ready? Am I? These are serious and urgent questions. I. The Lord Is Coming-Ae Wait­ ing (w . 35, 36). Lights -burning and loins girt ready to serve Him, such should be our daily attitude toward His com­ ing. Believers are to be "looking for” Him (Titus 2:13). Tlwy “love bis appearing” (n Tim. 4:8). Their hope is not in this world, but they are “looking forward earnestly de­ siring” (II Pet. 3:11, 12, R. V.) toe outworking of God’s plan and pur­ pose. II. The Lord Is Coming-Be Ready (W. 37-40). He may come at midnight, or in toe morning; we do not know toe day or hour (v. 40, CE Matt. 24:36), but it will be when the world does not expect it (w . 39, 40). "Be ye ready” is the command to every Christian, ever watchful for the coming of our Lord. The full meaning of verse 37 we will not know until we come to that glorious day, but it clearly indicates a great blessing and reward for. those who are ready when He comes. . m . The Lord Is Coming—Be Busy (w . 41-44). Peter’s question is not directly answered, but by inference he is told that he may be one of those to whom this blessing will come by being about toe Master’s business. Critics of the teaching of toe hope of the Lord’s return sometimes say that looking for Him “cuts toe nerve of missibnary endeavor” ; that is, makes men impractical and vision­ ary, not willing to work for God. To prove how untrue that is one need only investigate who it is that furnishes most of toe men and means to evangelize toe world. He will find that it is the evangelical believers in toe Lord’s return. ,Looking for Christ means occupy­ ing until He comes (Luke 19:13), do­ ing the Lord’s work here and now (v. 42), while awaiting His coming. “Jesus compares teachers to house stewards (Matt. 24:45, 46; Acts 20:28; I Cor. 4:1; I Pet. 4:10). A steward’s business is to give to each one in the household his por­ tion of meat in due season (John 21:15-17; I Pet. 5:2; Jer. 3:15). The faithful and wise steward is toe one who actually does this. There are many foolish and unfaithful stew­ ards who feed themselves, not toe household (cf. Ezek. 34:2, 3); or they feed only a portion of toe household; or they give something else than food (philosophy or sociol­ ogy, instead of toe pure Word of God; Cf. I Pet. 2:2; 4:10, 11); or they do not give toe food ‘in due season.’ The steward who is faith­ ful and wise is also blessed. Having prcved his fitness to'rule, he is re­ warded With larger rule. At the bottom of the unfaithful steward’s neglect of duty lies his view that Christ’s coming is far off” (Brad­ bury). IV. The Lord Is Coming—Be Holy (W. 45-48). The belief that the Lord will delay- His coming leads to all manner of unbelief, betrayal of trust, and of sin. In the case of the servant in verse 45, there was first oppression of those under him, and then glut­ tony and drunkenness. Thepicture is revolting, but it was really pro­ phetic of what has taken place even within toe ranks of professing Chris­ tians in the church itself. Neglect of the truth of God’s Word, scoffing at the promise of Christ’s coming (read carefully H Pet. 3:3-9) leads to that perversion of Christianity which is evident in much of toe life of toe church to­ day, and which causes thinking peo­ ple to torn away in disgusL Let us stress toe fact that this may be religion,” but it is not real Chris­ tianity. There is a solemn word here for preachers, teachers and Christian workers. A time of judgment is coming, and we are to answer to the Lord for tho faithful use of our privi­ leges and opportunities. It is a mat­ ter to which we need to give care­ ful attention. If God has' given us great opportunities,' our measure ot responsibility will be great. Every chance you and I have to present toe gospel, influence toe life of our ac­ quaintances for God, turn toe inter­ est of our community or neighbor-, hood toward righteousness, these are God’s gifts of opportunity to us. We shall answer one day to Him for toe manner in which we use them. C L A S S ! F I E U D E P A R T M E X T BABY CHICKS CHICKS! S S S = 5S" S en d H o n ey O rder fo r P ro m p t S hipm ent.

Consequently, these piles are very valuable to fishermen, who buy and sell them for as much as $5,000 in local money.—Collier’s. The Better Way to Correct Constipation One way to treat constipation is to endure it first and.“cure” it afterward. The other way is to avoid having it by getting at its cause. So why not save yourself those dull headachy days, plus the inevitable trips to the medi­cine chest, if you can do it by a simple common-sense "ounce of prevention”?If your trouble, like that of millions, is due to lack of "bulk” in the dieE "the better way" is to eat Kellogg’s All-Bran. This crunchy, toasted, ready-to-eat cereal has just the “bulk” you need. If you eat it regularlg-end drink plenty of water—you can not only get regular but keep. regular, day after day and month after month! All-Bran is made by Kellogg's In Battle Creek. If your condition is chronic, it is wise to consult a physician. - By Tby Deeds Such as toy words are, such will toy affections be esteemed; and such will toy deeds be as toy af­ fections; and such toy life a3 thy deeds.—Socrates.

YORK.—Early in Septem- . her, 1924, the League of Na­ tions assembly was in session, on a sunny afternoon, with every garde- PopularCandidate ^ the lapel ■For Free Albania of its morn- Modern Jerenuah coat' withdecorous murmurs mingling with the bird song and the hum of the bees, heard ,through the open windows. The im­ peccable and somewhat desiccated Sir Eric Drummond, who played closer to his immaculate white vest than any living man, was presiding watchfully against any untoward procedure, any solecism, any break in syntax or punctilio, or move to­ ward any overt suggestion or act. There arose among the dele­ gates a great, shaggy bearded man who started the windows rattling with his booming voice. He said: “Yon are Jnst blowing babbles. Yonr talk is hot air. You have done and will do noth­ ing for peace. You know that file Dawes plan is doomed. You know that all treaties are des­ tined for'the waste basket.” It was a long, masterful and pun­ ishing philippic, delivered in a fin­ ished Harvard accent. Sir Eric was almost a hospital case. The Jeremiah was Bishop Fan Stylian Noli, of the Albanian Ortho­ dox church, and it is Bishop Noli, now supposedly living in Boston, who is named in a London cable ■to the New York Sun, as the popu­ lar candidate for a liberated Alba­ nia. With the aid of the Greeks, the hope of Albanian liberation is warming up daily, here and abroad. The huge, ruddy warrior-bishop, a medieval man with modem ideas, never has been caught in the feudal tensions and confusion of Balkan politics. He is a genuine libertarian and democrat, recruiting Moslems as well as Christians in his long 'running fight for modern free state­ hood for his country. His League of Nations speech was shushed in 'Europe, but all of it finally filtered through to American newspapers. It was the voice of a major prophet, as startling as the little flickering cinema spot on the walls of Belshaz­ zar’s palace. If the bishop should reclaim and redeem Albania, America would get an assist, if not a put-out. He was educated at Harvard university, en­ tering in 1908 and finishing in 1912. In ,the former year, the peaceful re­ ligious revolution by which the mod­ ern Orthodox Albanian church was ■established was just getting under way, and it was in that year, that he was invested with the robes of . its priesthood. I got a glimpse of the bishop in the Commodore hotel in 1931, a keen-eyed, black-bearded gi-' ant, purposeful, alert and power­ ful in every aspect of his face and person. He had arrived just a jump ahead of certain dissi­ dent Albanian gunmen. On this and many other occasions, he blasted Albania’s dude monarch, Ahmed Zog much as he had blasted the tit-tat-toe assembly of the league. But he changed hotels frequently and mysteri­ ously, as for many years he has had death close on his heels. And it was in 1931 that he said that Premier Mussolini would snatch Albania when he got ready, and that Zog’s govern­ ment was all make-believe.

T HE March of Time has come to the rescue of all of us who have an interest in some­ one affected by the new selec­ tive service law. In “Army and the Men—U. S. A.” we are tak­ en inside training camps and shown how the young men in the nation’s rapidly expanding citi­ zen army live, what they learn, what they do for amusement, and how they are being welded into a defensive fighting force. The film shows what has been done to provide comfortable living quarters for the young soldiers; it shows as well how the nation’s in­ dustry is concentrating on orders for the gigantic defense program. It’s a picture specially meant for all draft eligibles, their families and their friends. When Howard Hughes finishes waving his magic wand over Jack Beutel we may have a new star on our movie screens. Beutel gets his chance as one of the leads in the new Hughes film, “The Ontlaw.” He hails from Dallas, where he had Uttle-theater experience, and wasn’t getting far in his ambition to suc­ ceed in Hollywood when he got the Hughes assignment. Eleanor Powell has finally com- , pletcly recovered from that opera­ tion that kept her on the sidelines all tins time, and will start work soon >n “Lady Be Good,” which was Sir Frederick Philips, undersecre­ tary of tbe British treasury, shown on his arrival in New York. He came to America to straighten out dollar exchange “technicalities.” T j'........................ . o ♦ * * * S e l e c t A m e r i c a ’s C h a m p i o n L i a r C IR PHILIP B.

S. Newshounds and impecca­ble official be­ havior. Hence it was a most ex­ traordinary slip when he broadcast to the world details of where Ger­ man bombs had fallen. The min­ istry of information, of which Sir Philip is a member, had been clamping down the censorship lid and British papers were printing German communiques, as the only news available. American newspa­ per men, sharply at odds with the censorship about getting news from Germany, are acclaiming Sir Philip for a fumble which they think was in the public interest. It seems to be his first fumble. As a flier in the World war, he gathered both British and Italian decorations and was mentioned in dispatches six times. He joined the royal field artillery in 1907 and transferred to the royal flying corps in 1913. He was in France in first two years of the war and in Egypt in 1916 and 1917. After the war he was R. A. F. instructor at the imperial 'defense college and commanded the B. A. F. staff college in 1930 and .1934. He was given command of the R. A. F. in 1937. He was educated at Harrow and Woolwich. t yjOjqjtV'M Number I Liar of America will be proclaimed December 31 by tbe Burlington Liar’s club, of Burlington, Wis. Lower left: President O. C.

ELEANOR POWELL a successful musical comedy years and years ago. It will co-star Ann Sothern (giving her a chance to get away from playing “Maisie” for awhile) and Tony Martin. Arthur Freed and Busby Berkeley, produ­ cer and director of “Strike Up the Band,” will produce and direct, and the George Gershwin music will be used. What old favorite do you suppose has been scheduled for a new ap­ pearance now? None other than “The Phantom.of the Opera,” with Broderick Crawford playing tbe “Phantom.” But the real surprise is the girl whoTl play opposite him— it’s none other than Deanna Durbin. She’s always done comedy, and sung a few songs, superbly. But when she finishes “Nice Girl” she’ll get away from all that temporarily, and appear in Universal’s famous thriller. Something new in casting has bobbed up at Paramount. Book re­ viewers on newspapers and maga­ zines are to be polled for their nominations for players to appear in the screen version of the Heming­ way novel, “For Whom the Bell Tolls.” Since book reviewers who know one motion actor from an­ other are scarcer than hen’s teeth it seems unlikely that their opinions will be of very great value.

S . A . P UROPE brought Christmas to •*-* America, but America gave Santa Claus to Europe. When the early Dutch settlers came to America, they had never heard of Santa Claus. Old St. NichO- las, who brought them presents each December 6 , changed rapidly in the New world.His name became abbreviated and altered to Santa Claus, and his ex­ ternal appearance underwent great changes. From a lean ascetic he was transformed into a jolly, fat old fellow. His pale face became the color of rosy apples. He laid aside his canonical robes, miter and pastoral staff to become clothed in a cap and brilliant red suit, trimmed with ermine. The new Santa Claus traded his famous gray horse for a reindeer and sleigh. He also stopped giving presents on December 6 , and started distributing gifts on the night of December 24. The changes in his outward ap­ pearance were reflected in his change of character. When he came to America he left behind his rod and bag of ashes with which he beat naughty children, and adopted an ^entirely lovable personality. Completely transformed, he again crossed the ocean to be welcomed everywhere from Scotland to Aus­ tralia. . Men Used HoUy-Bush To Beat Unruly Wives If wives kcew history there wouldn't be any holly in the Christ­ mas decorations. A stick cut from a holly-bush was a husband’s most ef­ fective means of restoring discipline when his wife “answered back.” He always left the prickles on the stick, too. Fortunately—for the wives—this custom belongs to the dark past and has long been forgotten. NERTT GUT Bug Saiita-Great Scot, that cen­ tipede has bis nerve with him! JUST THANKS “Being a husband on Christmas reminds me of Thanksgiving.” “Why?” “Because, about the only thing one gets is thanks.” Epiphany Saw Arrival Of Three Wise Men Twelfth-Night is the evening be­ fore Epiphany, or Twelfth-Day, which is the festival celebrated on January 6, the twelfth day after Christmas. It honors the arrival of the three wise men at Bethlehem. It is held by some that Twelfth- Night commemorates the. appear­ ance of the star of Bethlehem to the three wise men. In any event, the festival symbolizes the manifes­ tation of Christ to the Gentiles. - ' * H o u se h o ld N o u s IT COMES DFON THE MIDNIGHT CLEAR . . . MERRT CHRISTMAS AND A CDP OF CHEER! (See Recipes Below) k Serve 'Tis the night before Christmas and all through the house every­ body’s stirring except the wee peo­ ple who are wandering in dream­ land with Santa Claus. The little stockings have been filled to burst­ ing, the last package has been tied up in tissue and ribbon, the Christ­ mas angel has taken the tree under the shadow of its wings . . . and everybody’s hungry! So . . . when it comes upon the midnight clear—that glorious song of old — the family wish each other Merry Christmas and gather round the buffet table for a snack and a cup of cheer. The bill of fare, on such an occa­ sion, is as simple as the way it’s served; a platter of cold meats, served with hot chili sauce; soft rolls or French bread or perhaps melba toast; and cookies for the sweet tooth are the perfect accompaniment to hot tea which quickens the Christmas spirit. Or perhaps you’d like to serve bowls of creamy, old-fashioned oy­ ster stew, with toasted hard rolls, a green salad if you like, and for des­ sert doughnuts with hot, spicy ap­ ple sauce.
