q woman customer who was a great

Against Dime Novels
Germany Is Warning

Berlin; Dec. %. The proposed
law against dime novels and sensa-
tional literature has been received
with favor by the majority of the
federated states of Germany. 1t
probably will be submitted to the
federal council during the present
session of parliament.
The measure will provide heavy
penalization for the display and
sale of this kind of literature, as
we'll as for the confscation of all
copies. The existing legislation IN
Germany affects only those publ
cations which are offensive moral
ly and rellglouslY.

precedent.
The third classification, the
noisy discharge of explosives, is
self-explanatory as to it's inclu-
siveness, but why such means
should be used in a Christian
community like Atlanta to cele-
brate the advent of the Prince of
Peace, the Holy Babe, is almost
beyond the learned savant's COM
prehension. The custom, he says,
is of a barbaric and uncbristian
origin, but how it crept into the
Christmas tide, he is unable to
say.

From the Daily Bulletin
Atlanta Savant DiSSeCtS
Xmas Celebration

Atlanta, Dec. %. Prof. VIM.
J. Cole, the aged Atlanta savant
and archeologist, who has just
returned from making notable
excavations in Greece, has taken
the queer notion of subjecting
the Christmas celebration Of his
fellow-Atlantians to a scientific
dissection, and has found three
separate basic principles under
lying the holiday activities of all
classes:
The first is the Christian relig-
ion.
The second is alcoholic intoxi-
cation.
The third is the discharge of
gunpowder and other explosives.
The professor argues that all
giving, all Charity and all the
activities centering around the
Santa Claus legend must class
under Christian religious activity
and typify the Savior who was
himself the Great Gift to man
kind. All church services. Sum
day school festivities naturally
come under the same heading.
Under the second general head
ing of alcoholic intoxication, :"
the professor classifies not mere
ly the drunkard on the street,
but all egg-nogg parties, all social
gatherings, all club dinners, all
parlors where the wine flows gen.
erously at Yuletide. The profess
sor takes a purely philosophic
view, and while admitting that
getting drunk is unchristlan, OBJ
serves that many good Christians
get drunk, and remarks that an
artificially produced intoxication
has been a part of most festivi-
ties and celebrations since the
world began. He cites Noah as
