Now is the time to say something about Christmas.
Now is the time to feel a warm glow around the heart
and be merry. So let us feel warm around the heart
and let us be merry.
The words may be as ashes in the mouth, as iron
in the soul, but no matter. Let us say the good things
anyhow. Let us say to each other all the good things
we used to say before this mad and sacrilegious world
made a Black Mass of the Nativity. Let us say them
over and over again. The time is here.
The time is here for men and nations everywhere
to look to the Star over Bethlehem and listen to the
Voice of the heralding angel. The time is here for the
triumph of our innate human decencies over the forces
of evil. The time is here for all mankind to grasp the
rich and poetic meanings of Christ and Christianity.
This season is a season for reflection on that, and the
reflection need not be at all religious. Christianity is

more than a mystic’s faith; it is a way of life; it is de-
mocracy refined to the point of highest virtue—a phil-
osophy men frequently revere but seldom practice.
Certainly, that philosophy is not being practiced
now. Christianity is in suspension; the principles of
Christ are scorned by the bullying nihilists of our day;
indeed, they seem to have been forgotten by all of us.
To paraphrase John, He is in the world, and the
world knows Him not. He comes unto His own, and
His own receive Him not. The Light shineth in dark-
ness, and the darkness comprehends It not.
This is the time when that Light should shine with
special force. And in the uncomprehending darkness
that is our world, this is the time when men should
open their eyes to the brightness. The sentimental
pleasantries of the season are centuries old, and they
are significant because they are at least a recognition
of Christianity’s heart-warming presence. And as long
as that recognition exists, there will be reason to hope
that man’s inhumanity to man will some day vanish;
there will be reason to hope that somehow the spark
of Christ’s glorious spirit will set mankind aflame to
build a society far better than any yet known.
And so, no matter what evils are loose in the
world, this should be a joyous and hopeful time. The ■
Star over Bethlehem still shines, and it is not merely ■
a symbol of formal religion, not merely a thing about
which preachers prate. It is a» rallying point for all
those who believe that Christianity is a way of life, a
practical way of life, a way of life that can be made to
work if only we rise to its level. Such is the message
implicit in this season, and we should be gladdened by
it even though we seem at the moment to be a race
lost in darkness.

preheating before the biscuits or

have reached the required tempera-

At Christmas time we offer to you our sincere

the friendliness of the dealings we have had with

MEYERSDALE, Md. — Emerson
Snyder bought a used car in Cum-
berland.
Cleaning it, he discovered 500 one-
dollar bills behind the back seat.
The Cumberland dealer moaned that,
he had bought the car in Pittsburg.
A bank assured Snyder the money
is good.
But they positively have no fried
chicken out here. Why, even the
cafes serve fried chicken three times
a week in Texas an d of course the
drug stores have it all the time.

“Luxury” and “Los Angeles”—the
terms are interchangeable.
Here is a store that sells nothing
but dog food—and an automobile
passes by with a dog’s head thrust
out a window. Nothing unusual
about that, you say? Yes, but this
dog was wearing glasses; horn-rim-
med ones, with thingumajigs hooked
around the ears—honest!
In front pf the Biltmore Hotel
stands a liveryman in the tight
breeches, long coat and high hat of
“merrie old England.” And here is a
display of pipes in pastel shades—
pink, blue and green.
You can have a shirt made to your
measure at this shop for “only” $7
and down the way is an establish-
ment where a lady can go in and,
from a dozen shades and textures of
powder, an expert will create the
right blend for her complexion.
Just look in that “man’s shop”
window—a hat for $40. It has a
feather in the band and also a sprig
of gilded oats (otherwise it looks no
different from the one I bought in
Breckenridge for $3; think I’ll pass it
up).
Acting studios; dance studios;
singing studios; piano studios; slen-
derizing studios; a place that sells
nothing but wigs—yes, truly, this is
the land of make-believe.
There’s something odd over there
—dates in brandy. And that calls to
mind the definition of a Kentucky
breakfast: A beef steak, a pint of
whisky and a bulldog. What’s the
bulldog for? Oh, he’s to feed the
beef steak to.
“Cluttering up brandy with dates,”
I can hear a Louisville colonel snort
in disgust.
COLLEGE STATION.—Breads of
all kinds need to start baking in a
hot oven, Nora Ellen Elliott, special-
ist in food preparation for the A. and
M. College Extension Service, says in
giving some pre-holiday tips to
housewives.
“Starting biscuits and breads to
bake in a cold oven is something like
starting to iron a wet linen table-
cloth with a cold iron. The job
eventually gets done somehow, but
hot so well as if heat were applied at
the beginning,” she says.
When biscuits, muffins, or breads
are started to bake in a cold oven,
the gradual heat sets the gluten
meshwork before it has a chance to
expand, and by the time the opti-
mum temperature is reached the
structure has become too firm to
stretch and lightness and volume are

For the holiday season, Hollywood
Boulevard (besides the gaudy, per-
manent signs and the criss-crossed
string of lights and the huge stars
suspended over the street) has both
sidewalks lined with trees, each one
laden with a different kind of
jeweled, incandescent fruit—rubies,
emeralds, diamonds, pearls and sap-
phires, as huge and resplendent as
