II every man and woman Of fail un'
derstanding and open mind would read
every Sunday morning the fifth chap
ter OF Matthew, which Is the sermon

tudes. this world would be happier
than 1t is. One need not stop to dis
cuss the doctrine of it. but just let the
sweet spirit of it get into his life. as
he lets the view of a fine landscape,
Or a glorious sunset, or the heavens
filled with stars. get into his soul. and
1t will put him in harmony with the
all-pervading truth that rhleth all
things, and will spread a vision be-
lore him that he never saw before.
There is the best truth in the uni'
verse; better than one will find in the
sciences, the arts, the PHILOSOPHERS,
the histories, and truth that one does
not have to struggle to get, but
which comes to him as freely as the
light goes into his eyes. All he has
TO do is to open his eyes, and there II

SAVING THE BiRCS.

The Audubon societies OF the coun.
try have just been holding their annu'
al meeting in New York AS a result
Of campaign extending over the last
decade. they report that bird-life Is
each year becoming safer and public
cooperation more effective. The as
sociation is responsible for the New
York plumage law which prohibits the
sale Of the feathers OF many native
birds. as well as those of related spe-
:ies abroad, and which has proved an
important check on dealers engaged
N the feather traffic. The association
has also been active in guarding the
many colonies of aigrette-bearinG
birds along the east and south Allan
Tic coast. During the past year the
associated societies have spent, in the
course of their beneficent work. some
6,000-money we'll laid out. as II

Iessness of fashion. the greed OF busi'
oess and the cruelty of both.

not the occasion for tOpcOats or muf1ers or fur
cares. The men are in lannels and the women
are in white fnery. Possibly some attend the
English church, with the hope of being reminded
what day it is but the majority go off upon
cursions, wandering through the quaint, bediz

salesmen with little concern about the Christian
festival, ply their trade Of selling antiques,
radiant robes and handmade Oriental carpets
The majority, pleasure bent, so off to the
Pyramids and, under the swetering sun, climb
to the summit of the great burial pile of the
Cheops, and then, likely enough, mounted on don
keys scamper across the hot sands to the
Sphinx, in the shadow of which they proceed to
picnic
1t is late afternoon. and the big sun is setting
over the Libyan desert, and the bells in tho
mosques are tinkling for the faithful Mohamme-
dams to come and pray when most of our fellow
country people return TO their hotels. There is
no od-style Christmas dinner. The fare is
French the music is probably Austrian. Some
how. the occasion. delicious and happy though 1t
be, does not fit the picture. The moon rises and
the evening is fragrant, whilst parties sit out
upon the balconies before the dancing begins.
And then thoughts inevitably wander to what the
folks at home are doing.
Even with ourselves, particularly in London,
a great change is coming over the celebration OF

the tradition. But amongst those who are grown
up the tendency Is to spend Christmas night at
one OF the great caravansaries of pleasure-a
fashionable West End restaurant hotel
where in the entrance hall there is generally
magnificent Christmas tree. and the dinner is
lavish, the music ravishng. and everything is
bright and noisy, and the air is rppled with the
laughter OF pretty women.
The old-time Christmas is voted dull: besides,
taking ones Christmas dinner at hotel is reck-
oned much cheaper than having 1t at home.
Within short memory a great change has come
over our manner Of spending Christmas Thou

and fits the scene in way it cannot do
in other lands.
1t is rather hard TO imagine appro-
priateness about Christmas under
blazing sky, and the eating of plum
pudding when the thermometer is 80
degrees in the shade. How out OF
place the picturesque characters from
Dickens novels-muffled and CHEEKY

have been if they could have been con-
veyed on the magic carpet to gorgeous
Cairo. Wealthy people, and, in these
days Of cheap travel, those who are not
wealthy, now seek sunshine in the
months which are considered dreary;
so each Christmastide crowds Of Brit

Gently. From the many questions
put to those who appeared before the
Committee 1T was evident that the
Lincoln highway was something
which interested Chairman Slayden

was made by Gen. John r. Black,

land estimate the cost Of a 40-foot
road, with a. 24-foot strip of macadam,
treated with bituminous binder, at

cost of the 72-mile stretch about ST.

would be $3.50 mile, including the
renewal Of the surface Of the road
every 10 years." l.
AT the afternoon session Of the

Of the Office of public roads, of the
Department Of Agriculture, appeared
bafore the committee at it's request,
