CHRISTMAS AT THE coNGREGA-

Christmas Sunday was largely at
tended both morning and evening
The christening of the children o1
three families at the forenoon service
was very impressive, and the an
thems by full choir with solos by
Mrs. Cordell, Miss Bunk and DR..
Hawley were inspiring. In the even
ing service of song consisted of
Christmas hymns, anthems by the
choir and a solo by Mrs. Brieglib,
and Miss Bunk all very appropriate
and uplifting. The pastor gave short
readings and talks ON The Song of
the Angels.
At the Christmas tree, the usual
large attendance of some three hun
dred manifested the interest in this
time honored entertainment to the
children having no substitute. Mr..

ROOSEVELT MAKES
 ATTACK 0N WILSON
SAYS HE HAS ADOPTED MOTIVES $ OF CROOKED POLITICIANS
 AND THE BOSSES.

Los Angeles, Sept. 16.--"Mr Wilson proposes to erect as the national sym bol the straight jacket" said Colonel Roosevelt today. He declared that the democratic candidates view of the government was one which every great, crooked financer, every great. crooked boss wishes to see the gov ernment take. He found 1t difficult. he said, to express himself as he wish ed on Governor Wilson's views and be entirely courteous.
 MT. Wilson must have said what he did because of his inexperience, he saii
 Colonel Roosevelt spent seven hours in Los Angeles, arriving in midafter. noon from San Francisco. On his way he made number of speeches. When he reached Los Angeles he was wei comed by throng.
 Colone Roosevelt spoke first in the Temple Auditorium and tonight in the Shrine Auditorium. After the latter meeting he began his journey east ward, leaving for TEeson. Ariz.
 It was in his speech in the Temple Auditorium that Colonel Roosevelt criticised Governor Wilson's attitude.
 "Alr. Wilson says the history of liberty is always dependent upon linn itation of governmental power--the liberty which would be obtained through limitations of governmental powers would be the liberty of the Rockefellers, the Harrimans, the great industrial chiefs, to govern us, well or ill as they chose. There is not one movement for curbing the power of those men which is not con ,litional upon the extension of the pow CT of government.
 'It is difficult to express myself as I wish and be entirely courteous. II Mir Wilson were as well acquainted with every condition of modern life as he is sincere and intelligent, ne would know that he is taking ar at- titude which every crooked financier, every great, crooked political boss, every crooked newspaper editor wish es to see the government take.
 MT. Wilson proposes to erect as the national symbol the straight jacket He proposes as the symbol of our national government not govern mental activity. but governmental in. activity. Mir. Wilson must have said what he did because of his inexper- fence, for to assume that he had had experience and yet had taken that DO. sition is to impugn his sincerity and his wisdom, and 1 have no desire to impugn either
 Whenever we have the power. we will put every promise into effect. did not reach any of the conclusions to which I have come in regard to social and industrial justice by reading books and thinking what was done In Switzerland or anywhere else. I reach ed those conclusions by 30 years of hard work

AVIATORS BLAMES
 OFFICERS OF MEET
SAY ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS WERE DUE TO RULES MADE
 BY THE AREo CLUB.

Chicago, Sept. 16.-Another acci dent today marred the aviation meet given here by the Aero Club of Hi nois. Victor Carlstrum fell 100 feet when his biplane became unmanage. able, but was not seriously hurt He rolled over in the grass unconscious after he struck, but soon was revived. The machine was wrecked.
 The scene of the meet was trans ferred today from the Cicero flying field to Grant Park, on the lake front, and thousands of spectators stood in Chicago's streets and watched 20 av- iators circle over the city like flock of birds.
 Before leaving Cicero, four special prizes were awarded for duration events. Anthony Jannus won prizes for carrying three passengers the greatest height and the longest dis tance, while D. F.. Lloyd Thompson won a prize in the one passenger en- durance contest his time being 1:01:15. Max LiIlie won the two pas senger event.
 Olili4lc 0i int in1Vtt " NHiAn hd0 NpSA the lives of two men, were criticised by aviators today George Mestach, lying in a hospital recovering from wounds received when he fell after colliding in the air with Howard Gill, and in which accident Gill was killed, said:
 q blame the officials of the Aero Club of Illinois for two reasons. First, tbey never should have permitted bi- planes to ascend while a monoplane, so much faster than any biplane, was in the air Second, it was foolhardy for them to attempt to run off race after it had become so dark. l was assured by an official of the meet that l would have the course to myself"
 Otto Brodie, an aviator, said:
 The accident happened after 6 o'clock and it was too dark for flying. l personally heard Mestach protest that the mannplanes were forced .oi race each day in the dark and at times when the biplanes were in the air"
 William Burns. for two years asso. ciated with Howard Gill. tolay said:
 'Gill did not hit Mestach. as has been said; the wreck of the two ma chimes tells the story The entire rigging of the biplane was tangled up with the chassis of the monoplane. Probably Mestach did not see the out line of Gill's machine until he was right on it. Officials of the meet cer- tainly are the only ones who can be blamed for allowing flying at that hour"

 The Army makes four calls for financial help 8 year, namely Self denial, for it's home and foreign mis- sions, in the spring; poor mothers and children's outing, in midsummer har- vest festival, for the assisting of its numerous benevolent and charitable institutions in the United States, in the fall, and Christmas dinner for the poor, in the winter. The spring and fall efforts are national. and are in- tended to give opportunity to the va rious organizations to participate iE the support of the entire Army The summer and winter events are purely in the interest of the poor and dis tressed of the community wherein the  local corps operates.
 This harvest festival is the second annual national event this year. and any man or woman who contributes to this fund at this time may rest as sured that the amount of actual knowl- edge obtained by the donor. to say nothing of the moral mad philanthropic good the Army will get out of the gift for it's beneficiaries, will exceed five fold anything the giver might in per son have attempted
 Possibly, no religious organization which today exists carries on it's work as economically as does the Saliva tion Army The Army can and does with a dollar cover more ground and do more work among the poor than the average institution could with ten

One shot killed Miss Blackstone instantly and another entered Miss Harriet Dow's head, causing a fracture of the skull from which. however, she re- covered. The burglar then fled, leav- ing no clue behind him.
 Three. months later, after rewards had been offered by the governor and others, private detectives nrocured n locket which had been found near the scene of one of the many robberies. It contained pictures of Spencer's s mother and sister and bore his ini- tias. Spencer was known only as an industrious clerk in a meat store. He was 2S years oil and had young wife and baby. Spencer was arrested and he confessed. not only to the many robberies, but 10 the shooting of Miss Blackstone. In his home was found a collection of miscellaneous articles he had stolen.

When the table was bought, the first

hot water to which a good allowance
of washing powder had been added.
When the whole was off, the wood was
rinsed with clear, warm water, and
then rubbed over with cloth dip
ped in vinegar and water (equal guam

er such harsh treatment it was ruined.

After applying the vinegar and wa

Taking very little of the oil on a
soft cloth, he began to polish with
a circular movement round and round.
When he had gone all over the sur
face he polished well with a clean soft
duster till all trace of the oil was
removed.
Next day he repeated the process,
and this he did every day, barring Sun
day, for six months, adding just a
wee drop of ammonia to the oil during
the last month or two
