"America For Americans
D/ 7 OF NATIVITY UNKNOWN
Woi'd Has On y Tradition to Rely
I'pcn as to Date of the Birth
cf Christ.
T; e ir 1 lonni '.'."rh of Pecember as
lit' Mrrh of the Savior has
no historical authority beyond the
irth c '."ury. wIhmi the Christinas
f- w.is iutroiluc. il tirst In Kittur
(A. P 3t'J 1), on the basN of several Ro
t; n ft-;; .ils (th. Saturnalia. Sitfll
Juvcualia. l'ruuialia, or Dies
n .t!is Invicti S"!Is). which were helil
in the latter part of Peceiuber. in com
memoration of the golden u^e of lib
erty anil equality, unii in honor of the
sun. who la the winter solstice is. as it
were, born nnew. uuil begins his con
quering march. The ouly Indication of
the s.in of Christ's blrtli is the fact
that the shepherds were watching
their flocks In the field at the time
(Luke 11 :S), and this fact points to
any other season rather than winter,
aid is, therefore, not favorable to the
traditional date. Besides, the ancient
tradition is of no account here, as It
varied down to the fourth century.
Clement of Alexandria relates that
- 'me regarded the 25th, Paehon (I. e.,
May 20), others the -4th or 20th, Phar
tt hi (April 19 or 20). as the day ut
Nativity. |

| FOOD WINS THE WAR
DON'T WASTE IT
as to modern researcn, tne vaty
point on which divines generally agree
Is that Christ was not born oa Christ
mas day. while numerous learned au
tiiorities put the birth ou every
date of the year.
Man Has Copied Nature's Work.
Marble, in nature-, owes Its crystal
line structure to volcanic heat. But
ingenious man uses heat to counter
feit the volcanic rocks. By such means,
with suitable materials, he makes
bricks and crockery, which are arti
ficial stones. The prs.'c^ses employed
in the manufacture of chlnnware are
merely workshlp Imitations of those
used In the laboratory of nature.
Volcanic rock—granite, trap or wtiat
not—Is the very symbol of imperisha
bility; but the artificial stones (suck
as brick and chlnaware) produced
the fusion of particles under the acti«*a
of heat are among the most endanng
of known substances.
For Those Fond of Parrest,
The voyage by steamship, is very
Ward on parrots, which are stored in
the hold, common'y In clos« proximity
to the engine room. Cons^oeutly they
are apt to reach their flual destination
In a sickly condition. One should be
careful to make sure in buyiug an Af
rican parrot that it is a healthy bird.
There ar>- humirirtfcs of species of par
rots and the must beautiful of them,
all are the cockatoos, native exclusive- (
ly of Australasia. Ths giants of the (
tribe are the American macaws. <
Neither the macaw nor the eockatooo ,
Is ordinarily much of a talker, but
occasionally specimens are very 1'lever
ot conversation.

THINGS WORTH WHILE
These are the things worth while:.
The rainbow after rain,
Th.a peace that follow* pain;
The touch of little efcildrea'a h&ads.
And' sweet affection's subtle bands; i
The blue sky ug above;
The tender thrill of woman's lore; |
The sacrifices that are part
And parcel of a mother's heart;
The good, 'he beautiful, tha tru«,
The melody that stirs ftnewi
Strange yearning afte^ nobler things!;;
The simple song the robin sings,
The dew upon the garden, r°®«;
The flower that by thq w»yBid«
grows ! . 5
