Xmas Festival at Vatican Is Dull
 Because of Funerals

Rome, Dec. 24-The recent deaths in he Cardinalate have clouded Christ mas festivities for the Vatican but the season will be generally observed with the usual forma1ities. The Pope will send his personal greetings to all Catholic sovereigns of Europe with the exception of the King of Italy, with whom he is supposed to hold no Sommunfcat ton.
 The Cardinals residing in Rome like wise have many greetings to give while those living abroad, including the three American cardinals, send letters to the Pope, which are read eeSsonalIy by the pontif and answer sd by Cardinal Merry Del VaI the papaI secretary of state.
 Today the Pope received the car S-nals. Christmas day itself, how ever, is to be a day of rest for the pontiff, as, after celebrating early mass he will receive only his sisters and pass the remainder of the time In the library with his books.

FEDERAL TROOPS KILLED AFTER EXPLOSION WHICH
 WRECKED SPECIAL TRAIN

Mexico City, Dec. 24-Unaware of the presence of northern rebels at a point so far south, a train carrying a detachment of government troops on a tour of exploration ran over a ceb- eI dynamite mine near Charcos yes terday and was destroyed. The F7ed- erals who escaped death in the ex- plosion were killed afterward by the rebels. 5
 Charcos, now occupied by the reb7 els, is just north of San Luis PotoSi and is the farthest point south to which the northern rebels have ad- vanced.
 The rebels are showing increased strength on the west coast, in the vi cinity of Acapulco, according to con sular advices received here. A forced loan for the support of the federal troops has been levied on Spaniards at Acapulco, the reports say. The construction of the railroad out of Acapulco has been stopped by the in surgents and the Americans, who were building it are on their way to the capital.
 All the banks in the federal capital opened their doors yesterday, in ac- cordance with the agreement made with the clearing house last night. Only limited amounts were paid out by the Bank of London and Mexico to the many depositors who applied.
 Following the Presidents reception of the Diplomatic Corps, Sir Lionel Garden, the British Minister, was warmly app1auded by the crowd in front of, the palace. The Japanese Minister also was the recipient of a cordial demonstration.

.eWhat Christmas Means to NLe.''

''The birthday of my dearest Friend,'' is what Christmas means to me. know many. dear friendships but they all receive color and depth of meaning from the friendship of Jesus. His crystal soul permits the deep look, and it is upon this that friendship rests. Our. c1earest and dearest truths are reflected by Him whom we celebrate on this natal day.
 His friendship is not exclusive but alI-inclusive. In him every friend ship is intensified and so linked with others that they form a whole king dom of personal relations. I know no other who sheds such light on all our ways or so enriches all our lives.
 Those who attend birthday parties for the mere pleasure of seeing the candles and feasting, little realize the joy of those who celebrate in love-

THE GIFT AND THE GIvER

The men of the New Testament called the same things gifts. When everything we receive is to us either a great right or an adequate reward, we have lost the wonder, the love and the appreciation of life We can think of Jesus as a right or as a gift. He is right which all men may claim, but he is the gift which all men n1ay love We hold to sour rights, but we love our gifts.
 At this season we think of Jesus as a gift. Paul calls him the ''unspeak- able'' gift-whose value cannot be reckoned, and whose limit cannot be measured. We get back the joy Of life when we think of it as gift. We hold our friends to us when we call them the gifts of God. Elizabeth Barrett in her Loneliness and pain met Robert Browning. Ever after she cali ed him Gods gift to her. We do not wish a, weakened sense of rights, but we do need a heightened appre- citation of life and all that therein is, as the gift of God. If this Christmas season brings back the sense of Christ as a gift, our lives will then become radiant gifts to the world Tennyson has put it for our faith: ttTo loyal hearts the value of all gifts must vary with the giver''

The Real Christmas Spirit.

The true spirit of Christmas giving is two-fo1d in it's blessing. It blesses the one who receives and the one who gives until the giver feels t'ft is more blessed to give than to receive" < Real Christmas joy has it's source in the purest fountain of happiness ever opened for mankind. It's springs are from the Love of God for His people that they may be brought back from sin and death.
 Real Christmas cheer has it's source iE the fact that in the city of David a Saviour was born. even Christ the Lord who came to redeem a lost world.

Yesterday was a day of debating at school, as three contests were held by different English classes. The drst debate held was informal. the ques- ton at argument being. Resolved. That the city of Bridgeport should possess a State street bridge" W1l- liam Yates led the affirmative and T5s- wood Weiss the negative. James lale- phy acted as chairman while the judges, MT. Schwarz, Walter Gregory and Miss Elizabeth Lockwood. rer- dered the decision to the negative side by two points. This debate was held by MT. Schwarzs third period Junior English class.
 In the fourth period the Sophomore English class which recites in room argued over that time abused eub- ject: Resolved That Sunday recrs- attons should be permitted" Those who favored Sunday recreatfons were Messrs. Casey, 8ieymarian. StagT and IngIis under the leadership Of arIneg Senzer. Those opposed were 1Ieeses. Hurley, Sherwood, seKarak and Miss O'ConnelI, led by John Callahan, 11t in spite of the arguments put forth they lost to the affirmative. Ed ca sey cIfnched the victory for his eide by giving facts that began at the year l and up to the present day. FIarrr Engelman as chairman conducted the dehate in good fashion. ThoSs who acted as judges were the Nisses Banks, Beard and Meyers.
 MT Schwarz's hfLh period E.ng1Ilh class used the same subject ae the third period, Daniel Webster. The negative was again victorious due fo the wonderful leadership of Benjamin Gilman, and the arguments poured forth by his mates, Messrs. Lavsrg. Leary, LePore and DorIein. The af- hrmative that bowed to defeat was led by Harold Gernert, assisted bT Messrs. O'Neiu, Allen. BroaIer and Lauder.

Our Big Brothers Birthday

Christmas is the birthday of our Big Brother. Some or US have forgot ten how old we are. No one, not even self, cares when the birthday comes There was time when mother knew and lovingly watched the growth Of the yeaSs. The birthday meant the development of her boy. But even though we remember and celebrate to the door of death, we are soon forgotten.
 Some men, however, tower above their fellows Their names are re- membered when they die. Because Washington established this country, because Lincoln preserved it in years of peril their Dir thdays will be ce1e- brateI so long this country ehalr stand.
 'fOne man towers above the world until He reflects the face of God. He made ideal manhood and wonnan1ood possible. He established the home. His birthday will be remembered so 1cng as the world endureS.
 At Christmas we remember Him not only for what He mas done, but for what He is doing. A Big Brother giving His -companfonship, sympathy and strength to us wno are trying to follow in His footsteps. We give be cause He gave frst.'

 , 'tOh, the possibilities of well-born child. Poverty, environment, hostil- ity, need not handicap him. We eel ebrate the birthdays Of the great-of Jesus, poorest yet greatest of all. His toys were his tools, his library the tBble, his ambition the social welfare He lived for mankind, for mankind he died, and became the benefactor of all the ages. To Him loving was more than living, and giving was bet ter than getting.
 And what return do we make to Him whose perpetual presence brings the world such goodwill and peace? ? What will please Him but our allegf- ance and love as ev1nced in obedience and sacrifice?
