Within the last few decades, some of
it within the year, Christian political
powers have taken over countries former
ly governed by Moslem power England
took Egypt, France took Alge:rs and Mo-
rocco. Russia controls Persia, Italy has
taken TripOli. and ROW the Greek Chris
tians, in the name of the Bulgarian and
Servian allies, take Turkey in Europe.
Influence is now sought to induce Eng
land, in the final negotiations, to take
steps to rescue Jerusalem from Islam
control. There would then remain but
little of the earths surface politically
under Moslem power.
Much has been done within the decade
in Palestine to modernize transporta-
ton. Not only is Christian interest
great in Palestine, but there is also to be
gained the opening up of the historic
region impossible under Turkish rule,
to trolley lines and clean hotels.

The heart of the jewel burns lustrous and fair
And its SOUL full of music, breaks forth the air
When the song of the angels is sung.
1t is coming, Old Earth, it is coming tonghtI
On the snowaakes which thy sod
The feet of the Chrst-Chld fall gentle and white,
And the voice of the ChristChd tells with delight
That Mankind the Children of God
On the sad and lonely. the wretched and poor
That voice of the Christ-Chid shall fall
And to every blind wanderer open the door
Of hope that he dared not to dream of before,
With sunshine of welcome for all. a

Where the feet of the Hottest have trod3
This this is the marvel to mortals revealed
When the silvery trumpets of Christmas have peaed,

In the accompanying de-
sign is of minor considera-
ton, for it is possible To
make it beautiful and rich looking
with bit of handwork. 1t is a
well known fact that the average
woman cannot withstand the fas-
cination of embroidery. This
pattern may be developed wholly
in solid satin stitch. The punch
work should, of course, be made
first. 1t is suggested that a soft
silk material in any of the pastel
shades be used for this design.
or it can be of the soft wintry
fabrics. If very dark goods is
chosen, use the pale yellow carbon
paper and place it between the
above pattern and the waist
goods, thus obtaining yellow
outline. Trace with a sharp
pencil.
The pattern, OF course, is IN
tended for a white waist. but this
being a season of colored fabrics,
it is suggested that something a
little more elaborate be utilized.
The waist in dark blue would de-
velop handsomely if worked Who'll
ly in delft or peacock blue. In
stead of making punchwork, one
can introduce a bit of fancy work
in bead decoration. Sew each
tiny bead on the dots indicated,
using cotton and not silk thread
for the purpose. If, however, one
prefers the punehwork medallion.
then use a double thread of fine
spool B. B. silk. The stitching is
optional; the idea is to make the
decoration quite elaborate.

theory OF the brutal murder of Joseph

TO this theory. by an admirer OF wo-
man known only as "Gertie," said to
be the mysterious blonde woman who
visited the broker on the morning OF
his death. The name OF the man is un-
known. The guilt or innocence Of the
nine suspects now under arrest must
come out after the photographs of the
bloody finger prints found on papers
in the Logue safe have been developed,
and compared with the finger prints
of the men now under arrest.

Harry Hampton. and an unidentified
man now held, while known to be the
long sought auto bandits, are ahsolved
from suspicion OF active participa ton
in the murder. But the woman. Ger
