ARMORED CAR IN WARFARE European Armies Have Found It of the Greatest Value in Their Operations. Although an engine new to warfare the armored motor car has proved ex tremely useful, especially for outpost j and scouting duty. Fast, silent, and mobile, it covers a vast amount oi ground on the splendid roads that crisscross the field of war in western i Europe. Most of the cars are incased in a light frame of tough steel plate , that ranges in thickness from three- j sixteenths of an inch to a quarter of j an inch, and that is impervious to rifle ‘ and machine-gun fire. All the vulner- 1 able parts of the motor, such as the . radiator and steering gear, and in | Softte of the newest cars the wheels, are protected, by the steel covering. The wheels, both wood and wire, are said to withstand the roughest sort of usage. Accidents to the tires are ' much less common than anyone would expect. The cars carry a light arma- 1 ment—one or two machine guns so mounted that they can be swung through a complete circle—and a large supply of ammunition. The crew, which may number fron^four to eight or more men, are armed with rifles and revolvers. Some of the cars have a steel superstructure that rises from the chassis frame high enough to enable the crew to stand upright, I and that is capped with a domed roof, from which bullets and shrapnel usu- ] ally fly off at a sharp angle without even denting the steel.—Youth’s Com panion. NOT THE TIME FOR A SMOKE Old Lady, Filled Up With “Car tridges," Was in Natural Fear of an Explosion. A robust old woman in the moun tains of north Georgia was ill for the first time in her life and a doctor was sent for. Partly by persuasion and partly by force, the physician induced his patient to swallow some big qui nine capsules—a simple enough opera tion, which, however, scared the old woman almost to death. She was soon able to sit up and her daughter thought she would give the conva lescent a treat. She took her moth er's corncob pipe from the “shelf” or mantel, filled it with tobacco, and picking up a live coal between two sticks, started with it toward the bed. “Ma,” she said, brightly, “ jes’ look what I got for you.” “Git away from me, Sary,” she screamed in terror. “Take away dat fire! Take hit away! Don’t yer know I’s done plum filled up wi’cartridges9” —Chicago Ledger. People seldom try to sit down on the man who stands up for his rights STICK TO IT Until Coffee Hits You Hard. It is about as well to advise people to stick to coffee until they get hit hard enough so that they will never forget their experience. A woman writes and her letter is condensed to give the facts in a short space: “I was a coffee slave and stuck to it. like a toper to his ‘cups,’ notwithstand ing I frequently had severe attacks of sick headache; then I used more cof fee to relieve the headache, and this was well enough until the coffee ef fect wore off. “Finally attacks of rheumatism be gan to appear, and ultimately the whole nervous system began to break down and I was fast becoming a wreck. “After a time I was induced to quit coffee and take up Postum. This was half a year ago. The result has been most satisfactory. “The rheumatism is gone entirely, nerves practically well and steady, di gestion almost perfect, never have any more sick headaches and am gaining steadily in weight and strength.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read “The Road to Well ville,” in pkgs. Postum comes in two forms: Regular Postum — must be well boiled. 15c and 25c packages. Instant Postum — is a soluble pow der. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in a cup of hot water and, w-ith cream and sugar, makes a delicious bever age instantly. 30c and 50c tins. The cost per cup of both kinds is about the same.

In the story of His birth are touches of pathos, ro mance, tragedy and triumph. His mother, Mary, was overtaken by the great hour at Bethlehem where she bad gone with Joseph. A census was being taken after a peculiar custom. Joseph was compelled to enroll In his native town. The town was over crowded; no lodging places remained; no kindly homes opened. The only place for Mary was in the underground stable and storehouse in the rock, or, possibly, In the great yard, among the beasts of burden and piles of feed and goods. In the cave the place was not so uncomfortable as some might suppose. It was quiet, sheltered and away from the Jungle and confusion of the crowd. In a rude trough or stone manger the little baby was given a cradle. The night was not cold, stor my or snow burdened. It was probably calm and clear. Shepherds were watching their flocks in the fields. A beautiful picture Is drawn In one of the gospels of an angel announcing the birth of Jesus and a multitude of the heavenly host singing in honor of the event and in prophecy of His work. The story continues, how the shep herds went and saw the little child; how strange men with treasures came from afar and worshiped Him; how Herod, the wicked king, jealous and fearful, slew all the children in Beth lehem that his soldiers could find, seeking to destroy Jesus; and how Mary and Joseph fled to Egypt for safety. The story never loses charm, never fails to awaken the best emo tions, and never falls to make the thoughtful heart more tender and gen erous. Is It strange that this story never grows old? It Is the most wonderful Recount of the birth of any child. The gospel record is unequaled in simpli city and delicacy of expression. From 1 that story the finest forms of art and literature have been produced. The ; greatost in the world is not the Mona Lisa, with her smile of mingled lure and desire, but of Mary, the Madonna, j with her little babe Jesus, expressing 1 sweetness of service and holy, true and ! courageous love. j The books and songs which the peo ple love dearest are all of Jesus, and ‘ they are published the world around In Increasing numbers and languages. | In the story are the great things of the ; Heavenly Father's love, the hope of | the world for peace and good will, the j visions of human happiness rivaling i the dreams of heaven and the oppor j tunnies of lowly, sinful people to rise ] j to honor and goodness. Every mem if SCHOOLS LIKE DENMARK’S ♦ FOR inE UNITED STATES ♦ I lliLlil i i A AA A A 1 A 1 AAA A A A A A. ^ That the Danish Folk high schools for "grownups," which have made possible the recent wonderful development in ' rural Denmark, can be successfully ; transplanted in modified form to the ! United States, is the conclusion reached by H. W. Foght of the United States I bureau of education in a bulletin just Issued. Mr. Foght has studied both the Danish schools and American rural j conditions at first hand, and he believes ■ that what the Folk high schools have done for rural civilization in Denmark they can do for the United States. The place to introduce the new type of school Is the region know as the south Atlantic highland, according to Mr. Foght, embracing all of West Vir ginia, 42 counties In western Virginia; iS In western North Carolina, and four In western South Carolina; 25 In north »rn Georgia; 17 in northeastern Ala bama: 45 in eastern Tennessee, and 36 In eastern Kentucky. It is not that these sections are necessarilly behind Other parts of the country in education, though much illiteracy prevails, but lhat the peculiar local conditions de mand some institution like the Danish ichools. There are already a few Folk high jchools in the United States, estab lished by Danish immigrants. While pave difficulties have been experienced by these schools, Mr. Foght Is of the opinion that they are due to certain special causes that could easily be overcome In a real attempt to adapt the Folk high school to American life in the mountains. "The Folk high school spirit has emancipated the agricultural popula ; tlon of Denmark,” declares Mr. Foght. I "It has at least made country people ! the peers of their city brethern. They have become leaders in affairs, in pro duction, in distribution, in politics, chiefly because they have learned to think for themselves and to act inde pendently of the industrial classes. "In the United States there is great danger of going to the extreme in the Immediately practical and technical. The work of special schools is in dan ger of focusing too much on making two blades of grass grow’ where one grew before, on teaching girls to cook and keep house according to sanitary regulations and the like. “These things are all necessary and must be taught in the schools, but they are utterly Insufficient to make us a really great agricultural nation. It was not the local agricultural schools and household economics schools that primarily made Denmark a great scien tific agricultural nation, but the Folk high schools. We need such schools in the United States; schools that would teach a greater love for the soil; that would help us to measure the good in life by spiritual standards and not by man-made rules; schools that would help us to rise above the limitations of locality and state, and teach an un derstanding of the national and even tniversal in the United States.” ‘‘State’s Rights” Is Doomed. From the Kansas City Star. It would be a happy thing if there could be uniform procedure in all courts, state and federal. The processes or ways of administering Justice go to the very root of justice Itself. To have varying and con flicting processes or codes of procedure Is to have varying and conflicting justice. The lack of uniformity in the making of laws throughout the nation Is as bad as the different court procedures—or worse. Forty-eight states usually have 48 laws for anything and everything. Even com mercial law—the “law of negotiable In struments,” as It Is called—Is not uni form nationally. A great obstacle to progressive state action, designed to set right a wrong thing, Is the competition that the state doing the right thing meets from the Btat sticking to the wrong thing. For example, a Btate that permits child labor Is as sumed t® give Its factories an unfair ad vantage over the factories of a state that forbids child labor. That competition probably does not count for much. Probably the state that compels a square deal Industrial program really has an advantage over the other sort of state. The federal Industrial re lations commission Is now making a spec ial Investigation as to this. But the fact remains that the fear of such competition between the states holds back the action for workmen’s compensation statutes, for minimum wage laws, for widow’s pen sions and the like. It is out of this confusion and lark of uniformity that the demand for national legislation grows. People are more and more doubting that phrases and formu lae—like "state’s rights,” "that govern ment Is best which governs least," ‘ home rule,’’ etc.—should longer keep the Aiueri ory of Jesus arouses a more tender re gard for childhood, a greater honoi for motherhood, causes a more fre ciuent upward look and urges the help ful hand to the helpless man or worn an. Wherever the story Is received with loving faith, a store of humat treasure mmes and days of lncreaslnt Joy folli“. Such a story can neve) grow old or lose Its measureless charm So many times the birth of a chile makes human hearts glad. The baby'i first cry is answered by words of over flowing joy. There are letters and telegrams and telephone messages lr plenty. But no little child ever broughi such joy to the world as Jesus. Un numbered millions of homes have beer made happy by His memory and pres ence. Loved ones, long lost, have com* home by His guiding hand or voice Distant lands have been blessed. Pa gan mothers have been safeguarded Helpless little children, deserted starved, despised, have been rescued and sheltered. Oppressed men have be come free; sinful men have becom* good. All this has come from the birtt of Jesus Into the world. This near Chrlstma* morning no on* can measure the gladness He has brought to the earth. There will b< precious family reunions today. Th< postman and expressman have broughi many things from absent loved ones The voices everywhere are joyful anc the frolics and laughter of the little children make finer music than th* multitude which sang at Jesus’ birth Stern men today lose something ol their grimness; mothers are more ten der In tone, and children’s hearts burr with new and greater lovo. The Chris tian world Is rejoicing because Chris! was bom as the gift of God to help, good deed, loving gift, happy song, hu good dee, loving gift, happy song, hu man reconciliation, Christ Is born, Wherever men smile upon one another in kindly good will, the presence ol Christ Is seen. Wherever men and na tions create peace and Justice, the guiding hand of Christ Is felt. Wher ever men and women strive for clean er cities, purer homes, more equitable laws, harmony among contending classes, greater protection for little babes, helpless women or burdened man, the example of Christ Is fol lowed. Where Christ Is born In hu man faith he will appear !n all occu pations and habits of humanity. The hearth of Christ, In business, Industry, and government. Is the great God de sire to bestow upon the world. What a Christmas day this would be if, In every factory, store, mining camp, skyscraper office, banking room, household, Christ should begin to live and every man and woman begin to love and serve Him. can people from meeting the necessities of actual living. Children in the Mills. From the Kansas City Star. A law to save the little children of this country from factory work will come up for passage In this session of congress. Such a law Is necessary because some of the cotton mill owners, finding child labor cheap, are willing to profit by It at the expense of the lives and happiness ol children. Inventors have perfected the cotton loom so that now It weaves almost auto matically, requiring Just the touch of a flnrer now and then to control It; and a child can be trained to give that touch. That explains why so many children are at work In the cotton mills. The last census found 11,811 children under 14 years of ago at work there. A. Mitchell Palmer, representative from Pennsylvania, introduced the bill In con gress to prohibit child labor In any kind of Attain or factory. Already some of the mill men are lobbying, not Openly but in devious ways, against Its passage. In an article In the last Issue of the Textile Manufacturers’ Journal, F. G R Gordon denounces the "agitators” who are trying to make It appear that many thousands of children work In the -cotton mills. He asserts that state laws ade quately cohtrol the situation, and a fed eral law 1s not needed. To offset this sort of a campaign the national child labor committee has called a conference of all sympathizers of Its work to be held In Washington, D. C January 6-6. Among the speakers will be Jane Addams, Senator Robert I*. Owen oj Oklahoma, and Victor Murdock of Kan sas. At this conference Lewis W. Hlne, who was sent by the committee to Investigate conditions in North Carolina, will report that although a law of that state forbid! the employment in a factory of a child un der 13, he found In the cotton bills of that state alone upwards of 4,000 children of and under that age. The cotton mill men are able to evade a stato law, but they will not so success fully violate a federal law. That la why they oppose the enactment of a feders' law against child labor. A R. R. Showing. The annual report of President H U Mudge to the stockholders of the Ro'-h Island railroad contains a chapter entitled "A Twelve Year Review,” tu which he says; It has been estimated that the enforced reduction In rates and the steady Increases in wages and taxes would reduce the Roc>« Island’s net revenue last year on the basis of the business of 1913 by about *10.000 000 President Mudge’s analysis shows that the operation of these factors on the basis ol the 1914 business, cut the Rock Island’s net revenue over *16,000,000. This tremen dous shrinkage Is mainly due to six fac tors, none of which, let It be observed by critics of our railroads, is subject to the control of the railroad management These factors are: ‘T. Arbitrary reductions by state and federal commissions. "2. Wage Increases demanded and en forced by labor unions. “3. Higher costs of all forms of material and supplies. “4. Increased operating expenses made necessary by state laws. Three hundred of these laws affecting the Rock Island system have been enacted In the last nve years, most of which are political cre ations, devised to make ‘popularity’ for politicians. “o. Increased taxes. "6. Increased cost of capital.” The figures on which these conclusions are based are taken out of the reports re quired by the Interstate Commerce com mission. Swappinq Horses In Mid-stream. From Collier’s. Shirt-sleeve diplomacy has a pleasanter meaning than It once had. Tt has come to mean the work of men unhampered by precedent and not afraid to act under lira —men like Brand Whitlock in Belgium and Henry Morgenthau In Turkey and Ambas sador Herrick In Fiance. But the foolish ness of our partisan diplomacy Is made clear again when one notes that the third of these men, who did his country's work In Paris during the earlier months of the great war, has now been supplanted. Foi this change there appears neither reason nor excuse. Mr. Herrlek may or may no) be the best man for tho republican nom ination for president In 1916.
