The details of the affair were arranged by the young people, including most appropriate and artistic decorations. Shortly after the hour of eight o'clock had arrived the guests began to arrive in pairs, in groups, and automobile parties. Mrs. Lewis was exquisitely gowned in rich white satin, and appeared most charming indeed, she and her husband occupying a position beneath a specially arranged canopy in the parlor where the many guests were presented. In the line was also Mrs. Fannie Hall Clint, who was bridesmaid at the wedding in 1896, and is one of our well-known Chicago girls. Among the guests were Commodore Ferdinand W.

Commodore Peck was Commissioner General to the Paris Exposition of 1900, appointed by President McKinley. Mr. Lewis served with the Commodore in Paris at the time the Commodore received his decoration from the French Republic as Grand Officer, Legion of Honor, which decoration the Commodore wore at the anniversary celebration. In expressing himself to the gathered party, Mr. Peck paid high tribute to the loyalty, efficiency, integrity and sterling worth of his secretary, Mr. Lewis. He acknowledged his high esteem for Mrs. Lewis, and bestowed upon the happy pair twenty-five brand new silver dollars, accompanied with the following sentiment: May they ripen into Golden ones. Many gifts of silver articles were presented to Mr. and Mrs. Lewis besides bright, shiny dollars, aggregating quite a handsome little purse, all marking milestones on the way to a sincerely hoped for Golden celebration. Many letters and telegrams were received, one from Messa. Daniel J. Schuyler and Charles Weinfeld. Refreshments were served and all arrangements conducted by the happy children. Master Morris Lewis was master of ceremonies for the occasion. The Commodore was presented for his speech by Mr. Julius F. Taylor, an old-time friend of the Commodore, who told many interesting things in connection with the career of Chicago's foremost citizen. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1921.

S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR CHILDREN'S BUREAU, WASHINGTON Miss Lathrop Urges Expansion of Work of Children's Bureau, in Ninth Annual Report to the Secretary of Labor "Plainly the task of social study is progressive and can not be completed, and thus far the bureau has hardly made a beginning in performing the vast task assigned to it," says Julia C. Lathrop in her annual report to the Secretary of Labor, made public today. This is her ninth and last report as Chief, written on the eve of her resignation last August. The report sets fort the co-operation which the bureau has effected with various governmental, State and private agencies, and urges further correlation and co-operation in child welfare work. The achievements of the bureau during the last year are described under each of its five divisions, and progress in the bureau's first child-welfare study in our island possessions is reported. Included in the year's work of the Child Hygiene Division were children's health conferences conducted in small towns and rural communities by the staff of the bureau's Child Welfare Special, a motor truck fitted up for health consultations. A total of 1,990 children were examined in a section of Kentucky, and numerous cases of malnutrition were found, even among the children of the well-to-do farmers. Personal instructions were given to mothers and teachers in the proper feeding and general hygienic care of children, and efforts were made to see that permanent, active interest in child-welfare measures was established. In Arkansas the "Special" made its way through floods, and over bad roads and steep mountains, reaching six counties in which 1,228 children were examined. As a result, the report states, several communities are undertaking follow-up work. The principal studies of the Industrial Division during the year were concerned with child-welfare in co-limining camps and in cotton-growing. COMMODORE FERDINAND W. PECK uolar beet, and truck-farming areas. The report calls attention to the iniutions effect of too early and too heavy labor, in agricultural no less than in industrial pursuits. An average age of only 11 years was found among the child workers of the sugarbeet fields studied. An important piece of work accomplished through the industrial division was the preliminary report of the committee appointed by the bureau to formulate standards of normal development and sound health for children entering employment and children at work. These recommendations will be revised from time to time in the light of further research and experience. Juvenile court studies made in ten courts by the Social Service Division revealed great diversity in procedure, organization and method. A conference on juvenile courts was held in June, under the joint auspices of the Children's Bureau and the National Probation Association. A a result of this conference, a committee of judges, probation officers, and others interested in the problem was appointed by the bureau to serve as an advisory committee on juvenile court standards. A study of children violating laws of the United States showed that the total number of children violating Federal laws each year is probably at least 1,000,* that many of these children come up for trial in the Federal Courts, and that the procedure in these courts is totally unadapted to children's work. The Department of Justice and the Post Office Department were most helpful in making available the data on which the study was based. The child-welfare study in Porto Rico, undertaken at the request of the commissioner of education of the island and approved by the Governor and the Buerau of Insular Affairs, is taking the form of a Children's Year demonstration, with plans for repeating the various features proved effective here in 1918-19. It opened with recreation, special emphasis being placed on athletics and active sports, in close cooperation with the teachers. The widening sphere of the bureau's influence and the increasing demands made upon it call for an expanding program, says Miss Lathrop. She recommends three new services: First a division of legal research, to enable the bureau to follow and promptly report and analyze the State statute affecting children; considerable work has been accomplished along the line but the undertaking is far from complete. Second, expert service in the field or recreation; the report calls attention to the value of a study from the social standpoint of suitable types of recreation to be provided at public expense or under public supervision. Third, the addition of an exhibit expert to the staff of the bureau, so that the results of its scientific studies may be peated in new exhibit forms as well as by the usual report. "Little may phanthels filed away in orderly fashion." Miss Lathrop says, "do not answer the taxpayers' demand for effective service." For the past three years the bureau has been operating under substantially the same appropriation, which is almost $150,000 less than was available during Children's Year. For the fiscal year ending July 1, 1923, a total appropriation of $642,860 is recommended, to care for the new services and the developing needs of the existing divisions. Word has just come that the budget presented to Congress by President Harding, on the recommendation of Director Dawes, calls for an increase of $50,000 in the bureau's appropriations, which would make the amount available for 1923. $321,040. Since Miss Lanthrop's report was written Congress has enacted the Sheppard-Towner law for the promotion of the welfare and hygiene of maternity and infancy. This will call for an additional appropriation to the Children's Bureau for the current year of $1,480,000, 50,000 of which will be available for Federal administration, the balance to be apportioned to the States. The bureau thus enters upon its tenth year with a greatly increased opportunity for effective work for the children of the country. T.

Go into any bookstore today and ask for the Brimming Cup and you are likely to hear: "Have just sold out the last consignment, but expect to have more copies in a few days." This novel tells the story of a few months in the life of a married woman: and it is a tribute to the American reading public that so sane a book dealing fearlessly with a modern instance and yet with such healthy insistence upon the realities of life should be so great a favorite. But our especial concern is with its sympathetic attitude on the Negro question. The scene is laid in a Vermont village where an old clerk, retired by the firm for which he has worked, and given a pleasant house, comes to spend his last years. He finds as his next door neighbor the family about whom the story revolves, whose small boy Paul, becomes his staunch friend. Mr Welles, (the clerk's name), is happily settled, when he receives a letter from a relative teaching in a southern school, giving in detail some of the discriminations practiced against colored people. He tries to explain about it to Paul's mother: "No, not lynchings, I knew about them. But I know they don't happen every day. What I hadn't any idea of till her letter came, how is every day, every minute of every day, they're subject to indignity that they can't avoid, how they're made to feel themselves outsiders and unwelcome in their own country. She says the southern white people are willing to give them anything that will make good day-laborers of them, almost anything in fact except the thing they can't rise without, ordinary human respect. It seems incredible. Southern white people won't give the ordinary title of respect of Mr. or Mrs. or Dr. even to a highly educated Negro. They call them by their first names like lccervants." He ponders the problem day after day and it begins to sadden his life. He feels that he should not sit still and do nothing even if what he can do is very little. He and Paul are out JULIUS ROSENWALD TELLS WHY HE GIVES TO UNITED CHARITIES For more than twenty years I have contributed to the United Charities of Chicago, and for several years past have given $5,000 or more each year.

Nevertheless Mr. Welles tries to make Paul understand why he believes it to be his duty to go South to stand up for the Negroes. "Why don't the Negroes stand up for themselves?" Paul asks inpatiently. "It looks to me this way," Mr. Welles says, "People can fight for some things . . . their property and their vote and their work. And I guess the colored people have got to fight for those themselves. But there are other things, some of the nicest, why if you fight for them you tear them all to pieces trying to get them. (The bold face is mine. And was there a better description of why any man, white or black, improves his condition and tries to enforce respect is called bumpious and impertinent?) "If what you want is trying to have people respect what you're worth," Mr. Welles goes on, "why if you fight to make them, then you spoil what you're worth. Anyway," he qualifies, "if you don't spoil it, fighting about it doesn't put you in any state of mind to go on being on your best." As they are sitting by the brook a tree falls and Paul describes to the city man how the brook has washed the earth away from under the rocks. "That wrong feeling about colored people," Mr. Welles comments, "that not wanting them to be respected as much as any American is. That's a tree that's got to come down. I'm too old to take an axe to it. And anyway, if you cut that sort of thing down with an axe, the roots generally live and start all over again. If we can just wash the ground out from under it, with enough people thinking differently, maybe it'll fall, roots and all, of its own weight." And so the old man goes to join his relative where, through his contact on a basis of mutual respect with the Negro, he attains happiness. This is not the first of Dorothy Canfield's novels that has had a telling word on the Negro question. "The Bent Twig" had a wonderful interlude of two little colored children in a public school. She seems determined to call her readers' attention to the Negro's status in the United States. Of all our present day American novelists she is the finest-grained, the truest to the best American traditions, and this is doubly proven by her showing so clearly America's great injustice. May the colored people strengthen her in her work. velop within the family itself the necessary mental and physical stamina to successfully fight the battle with poverty. Because it interests, itself in every applicant regardless of creed, or color, showing thus a commendable spirit of tolerance. Because it provides legal aid and summer outings. Because it finds work for the unemployed and interests itself in the physical, mental and moral disabilities of thousands of unfortunate. Because it furnishes free medical aid when required and assists in procuring legislation which will make for greater justice for widows, orphans, and other unprotected members of the community. The United Charities should be generously supported to enable it to do adequately its city wide work.

There are two kinds of rest- aurants; those which serve meals at prix fixe (a stated sum); and those. which serve a la carte. Meals a la carte, are generally better in «quality ‘and more expensive, but a knowledge of French is necessary, as he must se- lect the dishes he wishes. There are many festaurants famous for some es! pecial dish, apd a great many others where the national dishes of each country are served. Another type of restaurant is the Bouillon Duval, a regular institution among Parisians; the clientele being comprised of commercial men and women. The service is by waitresses in snow white caps and aprons. These restaurants are to be found all over Paris, and are excellent, but their sys- tem requires some explanation. A printed card is handed to eachperson on entering, om which the waitress notes the price of the dishes as they are ordered. This card must be given |’ up at the pay-desk when leaving. There are also to be found, scattered |. all-over Paris, restatirants with the; name of Chartier conspicuously dis- | played. They suggest Thompson's in | Chicago or Child's in New York. The cafe, however, is the pre-emi- |. nent French institution.

SE ore ee Rage ee ne Significant The presentation of the play befor the delegates to the Arms Conferenc was of significant importance to the reputation and standing of the Negré race as it pictured to them something of the cultural aspects of the life o the Colored people in this country The Howard University Department lof Dramatic Arts was enthusiasticall supported by the administrative of. ficials of the University, Dr. Durkee President, and Dr. Scott, Secretary: ‘Treasurer, in its effort to present the Colored people in a favorable light to the delegates to the World Confer- ence. The special program included musical and dramatic features. In addition to the nearly one hundred official guests, the chapel was crowded to its doors by the representative citizens of Washington, both white and colored Creative and Original Aspects ‘of Racial Life Featured The program was arranged so as to impress upon the foreign delegates the creative and original aspects of our racial life in its significant contriby- tions to American civilization. . The feature,of the evening was the wen- derful presentation of the great spirit- ual race-drama, “Simon, the Cyrenian,” written by Ridgley Torrence for the Negro Theatre. The play powerfully paints the tragic scene where Simon, the great African insurrecto, while refusing to rescue the Christ by force from his Roman captors at the instiga- tion of Procula, wife of Pilate, yet does relieve the stricken Son of God from the deadly burden of the Cross and bears it himself up Calvary to the place of crucifixion. Thus the play had a special significance because it stressed the Negro’s miessage of peace sad divine love $0 the world, The work of the Howard Players is_now nationally established, but individual honor must be given to the members of the cast.

There are two kinds of rest- aurants; those which serve meals at prix fixe (a stated sum); and those which serve a la carte. Meals a la carte are generally better in quality and more expensive, but a knowledge of French is necessary, as he must se- lect the dishes he wishes. There are many festaurants famous for some es! pecial dish, apd a gfeat many others where the national dishes of each country are served. Another type of restaurant is the Bouillon Duval, a regular institution among Parisians; the clientele being comprised. of commercial men and women. The service is by waitresses in snow white caps and aprons. These restaurants are to be found all over Paris, and are excellent, but their sys- tem requires ~some explanation. A. printed card is handed to each person on entering, om which the waitress notes the price of the dishes as they are ordered. This card must be given up at the pay-desk when leaving. There are also to be found, scattered all-over Paris, restatirants with the name of Chartier conspicuously dis- played. They suggest Thompson's in Chicago or Child's in New York. ‘The cafe, however, is the pre-emi- nent French institution. Cafés are found in almost every street in Paris. Many Frenchmen who have no club to spend their free time at these es- tablishments, where billiards, dom- inoes, cards and other games are pro- vided. Tea, coffee “and alcoholic drinks of all kinds are served, varying in price according to the quarter of Paris. The tourists are attracted by’ the novelty of dining outside as most cafés have tables placed outside for customers who sit in the open-air (winter and summer) to take their re- freshment, Writing materials are to be had’at all cafés and many" people| write their entire correspondence at he table of a café. All European peo-| ple spend twice as much time over their meals as Americans. It is cus- jomary for French people to remain n hour or so after finishing their neal, sipping black coffee or a glass | of red wine, while in America the|' waiter expects one to take his de-|' yarture as soon as he ceases to order'| ood or drinks. There are a few American bars, one | waving automatic service. But the |, rafés-take the place of bars, drinks |; cing served at tables.

Paris, like London, posseses a network of tube railways; but they are not so far un- derground as those in Bondon. There are two companies, the Metropolitan ahd the Nord-Sud, but through tickets are issued enabling passengers by either lige to change at any of the junctions, and complete their journey on the other line without extra pay- ment. Trains are divided into three compartments, according to class. Most sightseers purchase first-class tickets, especially during rush hours, | as the increased couafort is well worth the extra money. \ Tickets “are purchased at the book- ing office window for any station on the line, and the ticket has to be re-|‘ tained until the end of the journey, | when it is thrown into a box on leav-| ing the station. Numerous indications | , are supplied in the shape of enamelled boards, as to the right platform. , The omnibuses, which are aot|' “double-deckers” like those in Chicago : ace divid@ into three parts, and fares | for a journey vary according to thet class. The passenger tells the con- | ¢ ductor at the time of payment of fare, | where he wants to alight, and the con- | ductor takes the right fare and gives s ticket for it. This ticket must be|* retained during the journey as travel-|@ ing inspectors board the omnibuses |t nd. can demand e-payment if the icket ismot produced.

The Howard University Department jot Dramatic Arts was enthusiastically supported by the administrative oi- ficials of the University, Dr. Durkee, President, and Dr. Scott, Secretary- ‘Treasurer, in its effort to present the Colored people in a favorable light to the delegates to the World Confer- ence. The special program included musical and dramatic features. In addition to the nearly one hundred official guests, the chapel was crowded to its doors by the representative citizens of Washington, both white and colored. Creative and Original Aspects ‘of Racial Life Featured | The program was arranged so as to impress upon the foreign delégates the ‘creative and original aspects of our racial life in its significant contriby- tions to American civilization. , The featureof the evening was the wen- derful presentation of the great spirit- ual race-drama, “Simon, the Cyrenian,” written by Ridgley Torrence for the Negro Theatre. The play powerfully paints the tragic scene where Simon, the great African insurrecto, while refusing to rescue the Christ by force from his Roman captors at the instiga- tion of Procula, wife of Pilate, yet does relieve the stricken Son of God from the deadly burden of the Cross and bears it himself up Calvary to the place of crucifixion. Thus the play had a special significance because it Stressed the Negro’s message of peace and divies love to the world. The work of the Howard Players is. now nationally established, but individual honor must be given to the members of the cast. Helen Webb as Procula, Ottie Graham as Acte, Horace Scott as Drusus, Henry Owens as Brattus, | Fraier Miller as Barrabas, Harold Bledsoe as the Centurion, Julian as Longinus, John’ Broadnax, Alston Burleigh, and August Terrance as the mockers; Elnora McIntyre, Roberta Dabney, Portia Whitted, Gladys Tins- ley, Alberta Epps, Dorothy Gilliam, Ethel Jones and Mamie Neal as at- tendants; and Willam Grene and J. Hoffthan as legionaries. The players possess a remarkable gifted and ver- satile artist in Ottie Graham, who. be- sides her exceptional acting gave a thrilling interpretation of Nathaniel Dett’s “Juba Dance,” with Mr. Dett at the piano. ‘The University Glee Club under the direction of Professor Roy W.

Pierce, a Hampton graduate, who is the field agent Yor the Negro. county-agent work in Virginia and six other South- ern states, before the agents’ annual four-day meeting which was held at Hampton Institute on “Aims, Methods and Results of Extension Service.” “When we begin this demonstration work,” he said, “we had no local aid in any county. Now every county helps and 80 per cent of this aid comes from public funds. The vital need of colored people is better Home life.” John R. Hutcheson of Blacksburg, who is the State director of extension service for Virginia, declared that “the battles of peace that American farmers are facing are harder than the battles of war that most of them faced.” Director Hutcheson paid a warm tribute to the colored Virginia agents, “who are trying to bring about the kind of farming conditions that we want and should have in this coun- try." He added: “Hampton Insti- tute, the State Agricultural College, ‘and the U. S. Department of Agri- culture are trying to adjust these con- ditions.” Better Farming Is Needed Dr. James E. Gregg, principaal of ‘Hampton Institute, in opening the con- ference, summarized the world food situation, as recently stated in “World Agriculture” by E. M. East of Har- vard: “There are about 1,750,000,000 human beings on the earth to be fed —1,750,000,000 human engines to be stoked with food three times a day. It jis estimated that about two and one-| half acres off@nd are commonly ae ed to support each individual. There ‘are approximately 1,300,000,000 tillable acres of land in the world, of which not half are being cultivated. The maxi- mum population which the earth can be expected to support is $,000,000,000. We have not reached that figure yet, but we are nearing it “Since it will become increasingly dificult to get the food that is needed, good farming is going to be more than ever necessary. We must mix. more brains into our work. We are rightly giving more attention to co-operative buying and selling. There is the need ‘of improving community life and of Dringing people together. The farmer ‘must be made to feel that he has real neighbors in thought and feeling. This improvement in country life is an all- round thing; it touches not only ma- terial things, but also religion, family life, and every-day, old-fashioned righteousness.” Negroes Help the South | Virginia's leadership in colored farm demonstration work” was vouched for by I. O. Schaub, field agent for the States Relations Service white work in Virginia, South Carolina, West Vir- ginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Louisi- ana, who quoted Director Hutcheson’s note on submitting the Virginia pro- gram to the federal officials: “I want to call your attention to the program of the Negroes of Virginia: you will not find-any better in the state.” “There are today in the southern states 165 or 170 Negro men and women,” said Professor Schaub, “who are working primarily for their race and are teaching farm men and women to know what to do and how to apply common sense to their every-day busi- ‘White and colored agents are meteally helpful to each other. The white Vieginia agents made a fine showing at Blacksburg, but they did not beat the colored agents, when it came to conducting a meeting and put- ting over a job.” . Negro Farmers Make Good That those men and women who go out to.do demonstration work and | te tn enivinw eroblems of the home|: That those men and women who ‘go out todo demonstration work and help in solving problems of the home and farm, must be equipped with agri- cultural information, as well as with agricultural inspiration, was the con- clusion stated by W.

W. Hill, Washington, D. C, who is in charge of boys’ club work in 15 southern states, said: “Teach the boy modern farm practices and he will fol- low them for a lifetime. Guide and direct young people's social ecrgtion in proper lines. Organize all the in your community afd turn them into this extension work to make the life of the boy and girl what it should be.” Boys’ Exhibit at State Fair C. G. Burr, Blacksburg, Va, who has charge of boys’ club work through- out Virginia, said that he could not refrain from thanking the county agents “for the wonderful exhibit” which they had sent to the State Fair this year from the colored boys of Virginia. “It excelled in quality and quantity,” he said, “the splendid ex- hibits you have made in the past. That exhibit is a means of promoting the work among your people in two ways: it is a means of advertising to the public at large what you are doing and it gives you an excellent means of demonstrating to the public very forcefully the construetive work which you ate doing with the boys. Then, too, the prizes and attractive ribbons are unquestionably an inspiration to the boys. It is my purpose that we continue the State Fair exhibit for your club boys.” C. G..Greer, Albemarle County, and H. D. Lemon, Glouchester, reported on the bank accounts which their boys had started; Matt Jones, Sussex, stated that on account of the record made by his boys at the State Fair, the ad- visory board had bought seed corn for 77 boys. Other addresses on boys’ club work were made by G. E. Oliver, J. L. Charity and J. D. Bagley, all of whom are colored district agents. Home-Demonstration Agents The home-demonstration agents’ program follows: “Raising Poultry for Profit,” F. S. Gammack, Hampton Institute; “How the Home-Demon- stration Agent and the Y. W. C. A.

Blodgett; “Buying, Planting and Pruning Fruit Trees” and “Spraying Rules,” by Daniel Scott; “Economical Foods for the Family Cow,” E. S Moberg. * | Other Hampton Institute speakers ‘were: Allen Washington, command- ant of cadets and president of the Negro Organization Society of Vir- ginia, who spoke on “Fighting for Good Health;” Charles H. Williams, physical director for beys, “Recreation for Young People;” J. L. Blair Buck, director of extension service, “What Hampton Is Doing at Home and Afield;” and Eliazbeth Hyde, lady principal, “Education for - Life.” Hampton's entire plant was put at the disposal of the visiting agents and speakers. Helping American Homemakers _Dr. C. B. Smith, Washington, D. C., Who is chief of the extepsion work for the States Refations Service, sent a message of greeting and encourage- meat to the 30 colored Virginia agents, through Florence E. Ward, who is nationally known for her studies, “The Farm Woman's Problems” and “Status and Results of Home-Demonstration Work in Northern and Western States,” and her addresses before large groups of men and women. Miss Ward ‘spoke on “The Grest Human Group —the Crop of Children.” ~ ‘That the homemsker, who works ten to thirteen hours @ day, helping to caré for the great human crop of children, is a larger class than any other class of workers, larger than the workers in all other industries, and yet'is reported by the census takers under the heading “no occupation,” although she is also a full partner in the farming business, was Miss Ward's graphic summary of Amreica's most serious economic and social problem. Miss Ward gave a summary of facts. “In the U. S. Department of Agri- culture more is being spent for poultry than for home economics; more for the feeding of cows than for the feeding of children. In 1914 there came the first legislation which ever mentioned the American home. It stipulated that a certain sum of money should go ito the country homes of America to help train farm women to become more efficient. The next step in agri- culture, from the economic standpoint, is to build up the American farm home. In the country there must be a center of life, warmth, happiness, contentment, anfusement, good read- ing, and the spirit of hospitality. The home is the greatest educational in- stitution in the world. Our great job is to help the average family to gain a margin and to spend that margin wisely.” CHRISTMAS BAN IN 1643 Yuletide Observance Was Not Per mitted by Edict of “Roundhead Parliament” in Engiand. ‘N THE northern part of Burope the ancient people Kindled great fires to thelr gods, Odin and Thor, and sacrifices of men and cattle were made. The ancient Goths and Saxons termed this festival or feast “Yule,” and we still use the word “Yuletide” in our day. Among the ‘Teutons this hollday season was cele- brated by decorating giant fir trees The decorations consisted of lights, uta, balls, golden apples and animals. These were-to symbolize flashes of lightning, moon, stars and sun, while the animals represented sacrifices. Christmas was not among the early festivals of the church. We find, the first evidence of the feast from Eaypt, according to the historians of the church, and December 25 was not the day on which it was universally cele brated. It was not until the Fourth or Fifth centuries that the celebration of the festival on this day spread to the East. “The Nativity was cele- brated December 25 at Rome before 854, and at Constantinople, not prior to 872. ‘As paganiam began to be supplanted by Christianity, many of the old cus toms were taken’ and handed down through the generations. In the Angio- Saxon days of King Alfred the hol!- day season begun December 16 and closed January 6. When Puritanism arose in England the fate of Christ- mas was threatened for a time, and even extended to this country, since the Puritans brought along with them to New England a feeling against the celebration of Christmas. In 1648 the “Roundhead parlia- ment” @ England put 2 ban on the observance of Christmas. The court of Massachusetts in 1650 followed England's example and Christmas was put under a ban there. With the restoration of the Engilsh royalty the restoration of Christmas was brought about, and Massachusetts again fol- lowed England's example and in 1681 the ban was lifted. From this time on Christmas has remained, and is now celebrated throughout the entire civilized world. EEE EEE LE . A Christmas “Suppose” a f E would not change the children’s Christmas.

WITH THE CHRISTMAS PLANTS Trees and Flowers Are Believed to Owe Peculiarities to Connection With Jesus. HE legend of the Glastonbury Thorn is that after the death of Jesus, Joseph of Arimathea came over to England. Shortly before Christmas, he rested on the summit of Weary-all hill, Glastonbury. There he thrust into the ground his staff, and on Christmas eve it was found to be covered with white blossoms. The brush is said to have continued blooming each Christmas eve until during the civil wars, when it was cut down. Cuttings from the original them are said to bloom in this same wonderful way even yet. The Silician children put penny-royal in their cots on Christmas eve believing that at the exact hour and minute when Jesus was born it will blossom. There is a cherished legend in the East that the Rose of Jericho first bloomed at the birth of Jesus, closed at the crucifixion, and opened again at Easter, from which comes its name of Resurrection flower. Many plants, trees and flowers are believed to owe their peculiarities to their connection with the birth or the childhood of Jesus. "The Star of Befhelhem" is so called because its white starlike flowers resemble the pictures of the Star of the East. "Our Lady Redstaff" received its name because it was believed that the starer in which the Babe lay was also with the plant. An old account tells the story in the market. The bread and the chocolate begin to rust and crackle, and so this noise betrayed the fortunes. The filo bristled up. Happily for her Mary was near a juniper: the suspicious tree opened its branches as arms and inclosed the Virgin and the Child within their folds, affording them a secure hiding place. Then the Virgin uttered a malediction against the brooms and the chick-peas, and ever since that day they have always rustled and crackled. But later the Virgin pardoned the flax its weakness and gave the juniper her blessing," which is said to account for the use of the juniper as Christmas decorations in some countries. THIS well-known and greatly loved Christmas hymn was used at Benediction at Christmastide in France and England since the close of the Eighteenth century. It was sung at the Portuguese legation in London as early as 1797. The most popular musical setting was ascribed by Vincent Novello, organist there, to John Reading, who was organist at Winchester cathedral from 1675-81, and later at Winchester college. The hymn itself has been attributed to St. Bopaventure, but is not found among his works. It is probably of French or German authorship. It invites all the faithful to come to Bethlehem to worship the new-born Savior.—Catholic Encyclopedia. Have your butcher prepare the pig for roasting and lay him in cold water for fifteen minutes.

The Island of Crete has undergone a remarkable tilting since classical times, rising at its western end and sinking at its eastern.

They are immensely distant suns, and the light goes out from them as evenly and as steadily as light goes out from the sun that shines on the world and the other planets of our small system. The light of these distant suns, which we call stars, does reach us in a flashing or twinkling way, but the fault, if it is a fault, is due to the atmosphere which surrounds the little orb on which we live. Huge Apple Tree. At Meeth gardens, Helston, Cornwall, England, is a remarkable apple tree planted over seventy years ago. It needs a 35-stave ladder to reach the top branches, and the tree is dome shaped, with branches reaching to the ground. When underneath the tree it looks like a room capable of holding over 200 persons. It is reported to be the largest apple tree in Cornwall, Devon and Somerset, and this season was loaded with fruit of very fine quality estimated to weigh over two tons. The Scotch Porteous riots were occasioned by the hanging of a smugger named Wilson at Edinburgh Scotland, in 1736. Captain Porteous of the City Guard, ordered his men to fire on the roiters, several of whom were killed. Condemned to death, Porteous was respicted by the government but was seized by the populace and hanged. The Lord Provost of Edinburgh was declared incapable of further holding office, and the city was compelled to pay £1,500 to Porteous widow. Neither Alive Nor Dead.

Extension Work Officials Commend Them for State-Wide, Far-Sighted Work. Colored People Are Co-Operating. Over 30,000 Men, Women, and Children Are Helped Annually. By Wm. Anthony Aery Hampton, Va., Dec.—Negro extension work in Virginia, which is carried on in 30 counties by 23 farm- and 7 home-demonstration agents with 4 district agents, all of whom are colored, under the direction of the Virginia A. and M. College and Polytechnic Institute of Blacksburg and the U. S. Department of Agriculture co-operating, and which reaches annually 30,000 men, women, and children, will receive Virginia appropriations, July, 1921, to June 1922 amounting to $43,000, according to a recent statement made by John B. Pierce, a Hampton graduate, who is the field agent for the Negro county-agent work in Virginia and six other Southern states, before the agents' annual four-day meeting which was held at Hampton Institute on "Aims, Methods and Results of Extension Service." "When we begin this demonstration work," he said, "we had no local aid in any county. Now every county helps and 80 per cent of this aid comes from public funds. The vital need of colored people is better home life." John R. Hutcheson of Blacksburg, who is the State, director of extension service for Virginia, declared that "the battles of peace that American farmers are facing are harder than the battles of war that most of them faced." Director Hutcheson paid a warm tribute to the colored Virginia agents, "who are trying to bring about the kind of farming conditions that we want and should have in this country." He added: "Hampton Institute, the State Agricultural College, and the U. S. Department of Agriculture are trying to adjust these conditions." Better Farming Is Needed Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, in opening the conference, summarized the world food situation, as recently stated in "World Agriculture" by E. M. East of Harvard: "There are about 1,750,000,000 human beings on the earth to be fed—1,750,000,000 human engines to be stoked with food three times a day. It is estimated that about two and one-half acres of land are commonly needed to support each individual. There are approximately 1,300,000,000 tillable acres of land in the world, of which not half are being cultivated. The maximum population which the earth can be expected to support is 5,000,000,000. We have not reached that figure yet, but we are nearing it. "Since it will become increasingly difficult to get the food that is needed, good farming is going to be more than ever necessary. We must mix more brains into our work. We are rightly giving more attention to co-operative buying and selling. There is the need of improving community life and of bringing people together. The farmer must be made to feel that he has real neighbors in thought and feeling. This improvement in country life is an all-round thing; it touches not only material things, but also religion, family life, and every-day, old-fashioned righteousness." Negroes Help the South Virginia's leadership in colored farm demonstration work was vouched for by I. O. Schaub, field agent for the States Relations Service white work in Virginia, South Carolina, West Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Louisiana, who quoted Director Hutcheson's note on submitting the Virginia program to the federal officials: "I want to call your attention to the program of the Negroes of Virginia: you will not find any better in the state." "There are today in the southern states 165 or 170 Negro men and women," said Professor Schaub, "who are working primarily for their race and are teaching farm men and women to know what to do and how to apply common sense to their every-day business. White and colored agents are mutually helpful to each other. The white Virginia agents made a fine showing at Blacksburg, but they did not beat the colored agents, when it came to conducting a meeting and putting over a job." Negro Farmers Make Good That those men and women who go out to do demonstration work and help in solving problems of the home and farm, must be equipped with agricultural information, as well as with agricultural inspiration, was the conclusion stated by W. A. Lloyd, Washington, D. C., who is in charge of county agent work, North and West, U.S. Department of Agriculture. Mr. Lloyd reported his impressions of the Negro thrift which he saw in the neighborhood of Tuskegee Institute and the improvements which he noted among the Negro farmers of the Carolinas, Georgia and Alabama, after an absence of twenty years. “There came to me,” he said, “a vision of the New South that is being created by people like the farm and Russia's Christmas Comes Late. In Russia Christmas occurs 18 days after our own. Perhaps 18 of the most interesting customs of the season is the Russian Christmas feast, for old and young alike, for which they dress themselves in various masquerading costumes and visit house after house, accepting the hospitality of their neighbors. The Christmas season is also notable for the fact that the young girls try to find out whether they will be married during the ensuing year or not. Some of them at twelve o'clock on Christmas Eve, secretly go out into the street and ask the first man they meet what his name is. Whatever name he gives will be that home by their future husbands—such is the belief. Some of the girls are very much disappointed when the name is not a nice one, or when the man, as he will sometimes, calls himself Satan or something similar. home demonstration agents. We need institutions like Hampton and Tuskegee. We need to begin to train young men and young women in the college itself for this work, which is very rapidly coming to be a profession. Those who go out to do county agent work must be led, not only with enthusiasm—because enthusiasm burns out—but also with knowledge." Boys' Club Work Succeeds Negro boys' club work in Virginia, which is now done on a state-wide scale, was warmly commended by federal and state officials of the States Relations Service who are responsible for supervising and developing extension work. I. W. Hill, Washington, D. C., who is in charge of boys' club work in 15 southern states, said: "Teach the boy modern farm practices and he will follow them for a lifetime. Guide and direct young people's social recreation in proper lines. Organize all the forces in your community and turn them into this extension work to make the life of the boy and girl what it should be." Boys' Exhibit at State Fair C. G. Burr, Blacksburg, Va., who has charge of boys' club work throughout Virginia, said that he could not refrain from thanking the county agents "for the wonderful exhibit" which they had sent to the State Fair this year from the colored boys of Virginia. "It excelled in quality and quantity," he said, "the splendid exhibits you have made in the past. That exhibit is a means of promoting the work among your people in two ways: it is a means of advertising to the public at large what you are doing and it gives you an excellent means of demonstrating to the public very forcefully the constructive work which you are doing with the boys. Then, too, the prizes and attractive ribbons are unquestionably an inspiration to the boys. It is my purpose that we continue the State Fair exhibit for your club boys." C. G. Greer, Albemarle County, and H. D. Lemon, Gloucester, reported on the bank accounts which their boys had started; Matt Jones, Sussex, stated that on account of the record made by his boys at the State Fair, the advisory board had bought seed corn for 77 boys. Other addresses on boys' club work were made by G. E. Oliver, J. L. Charity and J. D. Bagley, all of whom are colored district agents. Home-Demonstration Agents Hampton Institute Co-operates. The Hampton Institute Agricultural School, of which Warren K. Blodgett is the director, co-operated with the colored Virginia agents by offering these additional addresses and demonstrations: "How to Reach the Public Through the Press," Dopald F. Fenn; "How to Determine the Cost of a Crop," Allen B. Doggett and W. K. Blodgett; "Buying, Planting and Pruning Fruit Trees" and "Spraying Rules," by Daniel Scott; "Economical Foods for the Family Cow," E. S. Moberg. Other Hampton Institute speakers were: Allen Washington, commandant of cadets and president of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia, who spoke on "Fighting for Good Health;" Charles H. Williams, physical director for boys, "Recreation for Young People;" J. L. Blair Buck, director of extension service, "What Hampton Is Doing at Home and Afield;" and Eliazibeth Hyde, lady principal, "Education for Life." Hampton's entire plant was put at the disposal of the visiting agents and speakers. Helping American Homemaker Dr. C. B. Smith, Washington, D. C., who is chief of the extension work for the States Relations Service, sent a message of greeting and encouragement to the 30 colored Virginia agents, through Florence E. Ward, who is nationally known for her studies. "The Farm Woman's Problems" and "Status and Results of Home-Demonstration Work in Northern and Western States," and her addresses before large groups of men and women. Miss Ward spoke on "The Great Human Group—the Crop of Children." That the homemaker, who works ten to thirteen hours a day, helping to care for the great human crop of children, is a larger class than any other class of workers, larger than the workers in all other industries, and yet is reported by the census takers under the heading "no occupation," although she is also a full partner in the farming business, was Miss Ward's graphic summary of Amreica's most serious economic and social problem. Miss Ward gave a summary of facts. "In the U. S. Department of Agriculture more is being spent for poultry than for home economics; more for the feeding of cows than for the feeding of children. In 1914 there came the first legislation which ever mentioned the American home. It stipulated that a certain sum of money should go into the country homes of America to help train farm women to become more efficient. The next step in agriculture, from the economic standpoint, is to build up the American farm home. In the country there must be a center of life, warmth, happiness, contentment, amusement, good reading, and the spirit of hospitality. The home is the greatest educational institution in the world. Our great job is to help the average family to gain a margin and to spend that margin wisely." CHRISTMAS BAN IN 1643 Yuletide Observance Was Not Permitted by Edict of "Roundhead Parliament" in England. IN THE northern part of Europe the ancient people kindled great fires to their gods, Odin and Thor, and IN THE northern part of Europe the ancient people kindled great fires to their gods, Odin and Thor, and sacrifices of men and cats were made. The ancient Goths and Saxons termed this festival or feast "Tule," and we still use the word "Yuletide" in our day. Among the Teutons this holiday season was celebrated by decorating giant fir trees. The decorations consisted of lights, nuts, balls, golden apples and animals. These were to symbolize flashes of lightning, moon, stars and sun, while the animals represented sacrifices. Christmas was not among the early festivals of the church. We find, the first evidence of the feast from Egypt, according to the historians of the church, and December 25 was not the day on which it was universally celebrated. It was not until the Fourth or Fifth centuries that the celebration of the festival on this day spread to the East. The Nativity was celebrated December 25 at Rome before 354, and at Constantinople, not prior to 379. As paganism began to be supplanted by Christianity, many of the old customs were taken and handed down through the generations. In the Anglo-Saxon days of King Alfred the holiday season began December 16 and closed January 6. When Puritanism arose in England the fate of Christmas was threatened for a time, and even extended to this country, since the Puritans brought along with them to New England a feeling against the celebration of Christmas. In 1648 the "Roundhead parlement" on England put a ban on the observance of Christmas. The court of Massachusetts in 1659 followed England's example and Christmas was put under a ban there. With the restoration of the English royalty the restoration of Christmas was brought about, and Massachusetts again followed England's example and in 1661 the ban was lifted. From this time on Christmas has remained, and is now celebrated throughout the entire civilized world. --- A Christmas "Suppose" WE would not change the children's Christmas. But suppose all the grown-up people were to say to one another: "This year, instead of my giving you a present and your giving me a present, let us club together and give our present to some poor child who will not have any Christmas. There are hundreds of them somewhere. Or, if we do not know of such a child, let us give our present to a hospital for children, a home for crippled children, for incurables, for the aged, the blind, the feeble-minded." This to be, of course, in addition to what we usually give to charities at this season. Why could we not try this as an experiment, and see what the result would be? -Christian Register. ```markdown ``` A. B. Stiefel, Pres. Edwin Stiefel, Secy. State Street Furniture Co.

Naming of Diamonds The names of precious stones reach so far back in the depths of time that their original- meaning cannot be traced. The word "diamond" is thought to be explained as meaning "something exceedingly hard which may be seen through," and is said to have been formed of the Greek word "dia," which stands for extreme hardness. It is fairly plausible, but it is probable that the word "diamond," or something like it, may be found in a language older than Greek. 11 A financial genius uses money. he had never had in paying people who will never see it. Wanted Company. Richard, who is is an only child, was playing alone one afternoon. He seemed to be having rather a hard time to entertain himself. Finally he threw down his toys in disgust and said: "Oh, my. How I wish I was twins with somebody." Life's Divisions In an average life of seventy years, not counting the first ten, over twenty-one years are spent in sleep, over sixteen in work, eleven months in dressing and undressing, and seven months in church going, says one statistician. Equal to It. An American visiting this country had his attention drawn to the Nelson monument by the taxi driver. "Oh, that's nothing," said he, disparagingly; "we've got cabbages as big as that in the States." A little farther on they drove past a gasometer. "That's where we cook our cabbages," was the driver's sly comment—London Tit-Bits. Watch Your Weight Medical men all agree that in a great number of cases it would be of valuable assistance to them if patients could produce a weight record when going for advice. Often it is impossible for a diagnosis to be given until a patient has rested his or her weight for a certain length of time. Wise Men for Leadership There is no man so ignorant that he cannot give the wisest some information he does not possess. Yet this is no reason why the wisest man should not do all in his power to relieve ignorance. The wisest men should be leaders in popular education. Not at All Misleading The young reporter had been warned repeatedly against the use of trite expressions in his writings. However, he couldn't break the habit and one day he handed in the following account of a public hanging, then wondered why the editor laughed: "The huge crowd which gathered bright and early for the hanging at the county jail this morning was not kept waiting, for the business of the day started off with a swing." Skyscrapers Amared Chris "Begorry!" said an Irishman who was watching another go through some exercises, "we kape yer mouth as wide open as if ye were Columbus the first tome he saw New York."— Boston Transcript. The Supreme Excellence The Supreme Excellence. In character, in in character, in all things, the supreme excellence is simplicity.—Longfellow. Chess Known in Europe Before 1601. In 1601 St. Peter Damian wrote a letter to Pope Alexander, bitterly complaining that a certain bishop was wasting his time playing chess instead of attending to the affairs of the diocese. This proves that the game was known in Europe before the year given. The Spaniards are supposed to have been the first European nation to grow enthusiastic over it. They probably learned it from their Moorish dependents. Bible Poetry. The King James translation of the Bible does not show in any way that there is poetry of very intricate structure in the Scriptures. The books of Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Ecclesiasticus, Song of Songs, and parts of others are composed of poems, and are printed in "The Modern Reader's Bible," edited by Prof. R. G. Moulton, in conventional verse form. His Own Weapon G. K. Chesterton was arguing with a military man. "I believe, sir," said the soldier. "in fighting an enemy with his own weapons. That's what I advocate, sir." "Tell me," said G. K. C., "how long does it take you to sting a wasp?" ILLINOIS TRUST & SAVINGS BANK La Salle and Jackson Streets Chicago TELEPHONE DOUGLAS 1 GEORGE F.

CHICAGO PERHAPS the most obvious advantage to be obtained by buying bonds on easy payments is the opportunity to save small sums systematically with a high interest return. Ten dollars a month or more will make an initial payment on a Lincoln Bond which pays 7% interest from the date of the first payment. The instalment plan is a boon also to the investor who is following the trend of interest rates and knows that it is uncertain how much longer sum-secured 7% First Mortgage bonds will be available. The instalment plan enables him to "tie up" more good bonds paying a high interest rate than he would be in a position to purchase outright. Let us send you, without obligation, details of this plan, and information concerning our approved 70% First Mortgage Bonds. Write for Circular 14. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILL.
