ENJOYABLE Occasions in the City's
Homes and Halls.

Pupils of the Department of Ex-
preston of the Penn college musical
school and the orchestra under the
direction of j. Worth Allen gave a de-
lightful recital at the college chapel
Tuesday evening which was largely
attended by the friends and patrons
of the school and which pleased the
audience. Applause was generous
alike for orchestra and individual per-
formers and encores were in demand.
The orchestra itself was a pleasing
surprise, but no more so than was
the work of the individual perform
ers. Glen Mitchell, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry Mitchell, No. Sis Fourth
avenue east, was one of the sur
prises of the program. Even the in
innate friends of the young man
were unaware of his ability to handle
the violin. The young performer ap-
peared to advantage in a difficult
solo and in a duet and instrumental
quartette. He shows a remarkable
control for one of his years. Miss
Aline Martin, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Martin, No. 523 North c
street, also gave very creditable per-
Torrance with the violin, handling
her instrument with much graceful
ness and ease and giving excellent
expression. Master Gilbert Jones,
son of Mrs. Maude, Jones, No. All
North B street, aside from his con-
cert elads, performed with ability up
on the mandolin and appeared in
solo. Miss Flo Jones in solo with
cello selection gave an exhibition OF
the possibilities of this instrument.
The program was varied with read
ings presented by Miss Leta Worrall
and Clinton Bay. Miss Abby Clay

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.

Des Moines Capital: The Christmas
spirit is the GROWING glory OF dy-
ing year. The world is glad because
the season is associated with the
hottest and tenderest memories and
associations. The better angels OF
human nature assert themselves. Men
and women call to mind the birth of
the Worlds Redeemer - Gods Best
Gift-and the significance of the
Christmas-tide renews it's hold upon
the heart.
The true Christmas spirit is the
spirit which loves to give. 1t is the
very antithesis of self-centered con.
sideration. 1t is that soul radiation
which reaches out after others and
imparts to them an assurance and a
consciousness of sympathetic cheer,
strengthens the ties OF brotherhood
and sisterhood and makes life the
better worth living.
There was a time when the matter
of Christmas giving was more exclus-
i've than it is now. 1t was more an
affair of the family and of intimate
friends. Today there is a larger and
richer view. The horizon of man.
kind is broadening. The spirit of
generosity is getting beyond the old
ATTITUDES. Human kindness, is find.
ing opportunities for tangible express
sion in new fields.

SEEING OSkAIOOSA,

Grinnell Herald: E. b. Brande had
occasion a few days ago to write
Geo. Z. Wodehouse, president tot the
Iowa Traction Co., regarding the
contemplated electric line between
Oskaloosa and Tama, suggesting
that Grinhell was ready to take up
the matter of bringing the road
through here. Mr. Wodehouse in
reply says that it is quite impossible
as I'VE have already located our line
and based our securities on it's To-
cation" He adds, however, that the
company has in mind an east and
west line between Grinnell and Belle
PLANE, and eventually connect with
the Des Moines lines He also adds
that Rome was not built in a day and
so the company must go slow.
Burlington Hawk-Eye: Judge Will
cockson, at Oskaloosa, has sentenced
Isadore Poder, member of gang of
white slavers, to three years in the
institution at Anamosa. The other
members of the gang have been sent
to prison for five years. The court
and the officers ought to have the
hearty endorsement of every right.
minded citizen. And there ought to
be no parole for these ours. There
are some people who do not believe
that there is such a thing as white
slavry. The judge at Oskaloosa
knows better. If every case of this
kind of punishment were severe, swift
and sure, the trade would soon be
discouraged SO far as Iowa is con-
cerned.
Newton News: Since the proposed
interurban line connecting Oskaloosa
and Tama has now become an assur-
ed thing, and the bonds for financing
the same have been sold, there have
been many rumors afioat concerning
the connecting of Oskaloosa with the
Celfax interurban terminal, which
would mean that. Newton would be
on. the line connecting Des Moines
and the Quaker city. -

no reference was had to the present
fight over the saloon petition, but
straight advertisements setting forth
the excellence of the various brands
OF liquors. Inasmuch as the business
has been legalized in Oskaloosa for
the past IL years, the Herald proceed
ed on the theory adopted by every
large paper, that advertisements that
pointed out only the advantage of one
brand over another and did not appear
20 encourage thet3 thereof were
perfectly legitimate.
Most of such advertising came
through advertising, agencies who con.
tracted for so many inches in the pa
per to be used within a certain length
of time. Sometimes the copy would
be for certain brands of crackers,
sometimes for soap, sometimes for
baking powder, and occasionally for
beer and spirits. For six months this
paper has refused all such blanket
contracts and has demanded that no
more liquor advertisements be in
cluded. The Herald also has had
some contracts with local agencies,
and has been disseminating them as
fast as they expired.
The Herald has not taken this ac-
ton because it felt that in business
way it was violating any of the ethics
of legitimate newspaper trade, nor be.
cause it felt that it was any better
than the professional man or mer
chant or any business institution that
accepts the nQuor mans money for
services rendered or goods delivered,
1t did ii because the Herald found out
that lot of it's readers were constru
ing its action to mean an encourage
ment of the liquor traffic and the max.
ing the use of strong drink appear to
young people, not only legitimate, but
DESTROYS.
The Herald does not wish to cir
cumscribe any mans honest actions
or demand that he must live up to the
rules that it lays down, but following
the policy it has always pursued, it
did not intend to encourage any man,
much less a boy,--to take a drink
of liquor, or to be in any way a party
to any action that would tend to lead
anybody astray, and it therefore de
cided that the thing to do was to get
above criticism. In q purely business
way the liquor mans money is as
good as the. other fellows, but the
Herald six months. ago decided to
forego that much of it, in order that
there might be no misunderstanding.

THOSE TWO NEW MOONS.

| Our good friend, J. NJ. Wharton, 32t
North c street, asked The Herald g
question the other day that is almost
too much for us. Noting that there
are two new moons in this month, one
on the LIST and one on the 31st OF
December, he wanted to know when
/ a like occurrence had taken place
before aa-, when, it. was likely to take
place again We are unable to an
swer the direct question, because we
have no records at hand that give
definite information, and we appeal
70 our readers to help us out. Ii
YOU know, let us know, because our
curiosity has also been aroused.
The occurrence of two new moons
in one month is somewhat unusual.
Whenever new moon occurs on the
first of any month, February excepted,
there will be another new moon at
the end of the month, but the occur,
ence is of rare happening. The
coming of two new moons is made
possible through the fact that the
lunar month and the solar month arc
not OF the same length. The moon
makes its orbit about the earth in
20 days, IL hours and 44.05 minutes
All calendar months of the solar sys-
tenn are longer than this period with
the single exception of February,
which is shorter. The lunar year is
considered 354 days while the solar
lis 365A. We have twelve and a
fraction Examinations OF the moon
during the solar year. The differ
ence in the length of the months &C
counts for the possibility of expert.
encing two new moons with a single
month.
OF all the secondary planets the
earth's satellite is by far the most
interesting and important. The moon
completes her circuit around the earth
in a period whose mean or average
length is 27 days, hours, 43.2 min
utes; but in consequence of her mo
ton in common with the earth around
the sun, the mean duration of the
lunar month, that is, the time from
new moon to new moon, is 29 days
II hours, 44.05 minutes, which is call.
ed the moons synodical period. Ii
the earth were motionless in space
the moons orbit would be nearly an
ellipse, having the earth in one of the
foci; hence her distance from the
earth varies during the course of
lunar month. Her mean distance from
the earth is 23S,S50 miles. Her maxi.
mum distance, however, may reach
252, $3.50 miles, and the least distance
to which she can, approach the earth
is 221, $50 miles. Her diameter is 2.
1872 miles, and if we deduct from he,
distance from the earth the sum o,
the two radii of the earth and moon,
viz, 1852 and 1851 miles respectively,
we shall have for the nearest ap-
proach of the surfaces OF the two bod
les 216.477 miles. Her orbit is yer.
Intricate one, because the earth, in
moving around the sun carries the
moon along with il; hence the latter
is simetimes within and sometimes
without the earth's orbi. Its form
is that of serpentine curve, always
concave toward the sun, and inclined
to the plane of the earth's orbit at an
angle OF 5 degrees 8 minutes, in con-
sequence of which our satellite an.
pears sometimes above and sometimes
below the plane of the earths orbit.
through which she passes twice in
