"The Airship Boys Adrift, or Saved

Aerial navigation, already holding
prominent place in the field of sport
and pleasure, is approaching with all
speed commercial utility and service
ability in war. Clearly it is a field for
a new form of boys literature involv-

launched with the publication of two
extraordinary stories by a man whose
technical knowledge of the aerial navi-
cation field is backed by exceptional
power to weave wholesome fiction cal

and buildings break the sound waves,
or in suburbs on the hillside the effect
is unspeakably delightful.
Pleasantcst of all is it when you are
sitting in the inner court or quadran-
gle of 4 Porto Rican home. Around
you on four sides the house rises above
you, and in the grounds or in great
tubs and porcelain pots rich flowers.
graceful vines and restful trees afford
shade, color and perfume. The sound
of the bells descends from the air
above very much like a benediction.
You sit In an easy chair. and servants
bring you tea or steaming coffee,
sweetmeats and biscuits, CONNECTIONS
and cigarettes, while a daughter or son
plays ancient songs or dances upon q
mandolin or guitar.
The churches are crowded; so are the
clubs and most of the places of recrea-
ton. Every vehicle is in use, and here
and there can be seen young men and
women trying to initiate English mod
els. Some Of the people of the noun
tain districts carry out many of their
early superstitions in regard to Christ
mas. They hang over the doors of
their houses boughs of trees which are
supposed to possess charms and often
conduct marriage ceremonies under
great canopies made of these charmed
trees.
A great many wild flowers are In
bloom at Christmastide, and these are
worn by children of the mountain dis
tricts In wreaths and garlands about
their heads, ,necks and waists. The
Christmas giving is sadly missing in
our new possessions The churches
hold no Christmas tree, and there are
few charitable societies to give feasts.
However, one hospital for old people
and orphans In Ponce gives a Christ
mas fete, and the inmates have a good
meal and receive warm clothing. med
icines and other needful gifts.
The American occupation has brought
extra Christmas cheer to the people Of
the island. The American residents
celebrate the day in good American
fashion, and, best Of all, they put
money into circulation and give zest to
industry and business.

ODD ELECTION SIGNS.
The Signs Are In Washington, the
Elections Elsewhere.


"Of course we don't have any elec-

Washington. but we have election in
timations. If l may call them that
which can't be duplicated anywhere
else in the country.
"You see. when we Washingtonians
want to vote we've got to do it some
where else, and as most of us have ii
lingering fondness for the franchise
we are pretty likely to hang on 10
residence somewhere outside the Dis
trict.
I'VE especially like to do it because
it makes us feel as if we had some
sort of weapon to flourish before the
observing eyes of the politicians who
may have something to say about our
hold on our jobs, and when the time
comes to go home to vote we visibly
swell with Importance.
Naturally q national election is the
one that catches US all at once. and it
is then that the indmations l spoke of
do most abound. The papers are full
of advertisements of loans for election
expenses. Department clerks can be
accommodated with sums covering
their railway fare, new clothes for
the trip and a substantial margin over
and above necessary items. The inter

right.

Curious Laws In India.

Some of the old laws Of Nepal, In
dia. were curious. Killing cows ranked
with murder as a capital ofrense, for
instance. Every girl at birth was
married with great ceremony to a
betel fruit. which was then cast into q
sacred stream. AS the fate of the
fruit was uncertain. the girl was sup
posed never to become widow. To
obtain divorce from a husband a wife
had only to place betel nut under his
pillow and depart. In Nepal the day Is
considered to begin when it is light
enough to count the tiles on the roof
or distinguish the hairs on a mans
hand against the sky.

When Shepherds Watched by Night

Some historians contend that the
shepherds could not have watched by
night on the Bethlehem plains In De-
cember. it being a period of great in
clemency. In answer to this well
known student says: Bethlehem is
not cold region. The mercury usual
ly stands all the month of December
at 46 degrees. Corn is soWn during
this time, and grass and herbs spring
up after the rains, so that the Arabs
drive their fiocks down from the noun
tains into the plains. The most deli
cate never make fires till about the
end of November. and some pass lie
whole winter without them. From
these facts think 1t is established
without doubt that our Savionr was
