Rev. c. H. Strouse. pastor of the First Baptist church, was in charge of the service at the Sheltering Arms Sunday afternoon. He took for his subject The Birth of Christ. Every one is interested in the birth of Christ, for Christ belongs to all men every where, he said. The sinless Christ came to identify Himself with the human race. How else could He sym pathize with us? That God gave us Jesus Christ to save from sin was the heaven to earth. He brought a new conception of God, taking away the fear that was in the heart-a new conception of humanity, that every in dividuaI was of priceless worth in the sight of God. He gives the promise of a new humanity, a new inspiration to man to be a blessing to his fellow man. that life may be worth the liv- ing,
 When Christ came there was no room for Him in the inn. We miss our great opportunity se we do not in- vite Christ to come into our hearts. My wish for you all the speaker said, is that Christ's joy and peace will just flood your hearts.
 The beautiful service of song made coming of members of the choirs of our churches and often of the young people who can sing is greatly appre- ciated. Miss Lucille Howard sang My Task in sweet voice. Samuel Gabriel sons solo, A Dream of Paradise, gave much pleasure, as also did other solos rendered by him. and the duet Have Faith. by MT. Gabrielson and William Douglass, Jr., who was at the piano.

The first issue finely illustrated contains nineteen valuable articles by such prominent writers as George Bernard Shaw, Ar mold Bennett. CunninghaIne Graham. Jerome K. Jerome and Christobel Pankhurst.
 From the start it promises to be successful in it's purpose of making the current history of the worlds catas- &fophe ns developments and conse- 9uently an authoritative trustworthy aSG permanent record.
 with it's issue of Dec. 13 the Times also publishes in pamphlet form the French Yellow book telling why France went to war. It affords a val uable insight into that side of the great conflict.

COLONIAL THEATRE. The Gamblers, George kIeine's Famous Five Reel Masterpiece.

A thoroughly delighted audience was present at the Colonial theatre last evening when one of the finest dra- mas ever filmed was the feature It 1s to be the feature for today also, and fs entitled The Gamblers, one of the most serious and absorbing of the plays from the pen of George Kleine, the creator of Lion and the Mouse, The Third Degree and other successes of the Colonial theatre. It is a story of the business side of society factions, and the complications following the marriage of a brother and sister of one family to the brother and sister of another. High society dominates the whole magnificent production, which for beauty of scenery, richness of appointment and superb photogra- phy has never been exceI1ed in this ctty. An added attraction is the ap- pearance of Andrew Byrnes of this city, who appears as one of the audi tors in the Investigation scene. Prices

exempt from further inspection, if deemed necessary by the admiralty.
 It is stated authoritatively that con sular inspections in most cases would expedite shipments greatly. as the number of suspected cargoes is com paratively small. Earlier in the war copper and other contraband were loaded underneath coal or heavy feight making inspection extremely difficult and necessiteting virtually a complete shifting of the cargo. Where bulky articles of contraband are transferred at sea from one ship to another it is impossible to conceal them beneath the entire cargo and consequently it would be an easy matter to make a supplemental examination in the cases of vessels where original cargoes con- tained no contraband.

FRANKLIN DEALERS WILL
HAVE TEST Of THEIR CARS

What promises to be the most prac.
tical efficiency test in the history OF
automobiling will occur on Friday
morning, May 1st. On that morning
Franklin dealers in all parts of the
meet the regular gasoline tank on their
Six-Thirty Franklin put on a one
gallon can and under the supervision
of automobile club officers or other
impartial observers. will go out and
see how far they can go on gallon
of gasoline.
This trial will be the first of its
kind ever held. There have been au-
tomobile tests of all sorts and descrip-
tions, but never before one that has
been SO practical or countrywide in
its scope. 1t Is an unusual test and
comes as a result of Franklin dealers
holding tests each year in their re-
spective cities at almost any time of
the year. Finally some of them got
together and said. Lets all make the
same test on the same day." and the
ready response made the plan grow
so fast that soon practically every
Franklin dealer in the country was
anxious to make the test in this way.
The practical side of the test is
quite apparent as all the cars are IN
daily use and will be tested in nor
country. 1t will be case of the cars
speaking for themselves and showing
what each can do.
This test marks the great mile post
in practical automobile efficiency
trials. 1t will secure facts and fig
ures from thoroughly practical and
fair standpoint. This is clearly shown
by the rules of the test. which are as
follows:
/. The test must be made by a
Franklin Six-Thirty touring ear on
Friday morning, May 1st. No matter
what the weather or road conditions
are the test must be made on this
day.
9. Only one gallon of gasoline
must be used. This to be carried in
a one-gallon can attached to the side
lamp bracket, and the regular gasoline
tank disconnected a gallon measure
which has been certified by the local
sealer of weights and measures, to be
used to measure the gasoline.
8. Each car in the test must car
ry as passengers an official of the To-
cal automobile club or other observers
who will be absolutely impartial and
whose supervision will be considered
as official as far as possible.
1. The most important considera-
ton is absolute accuracy in every de-
tail
S. The actual mileage secured
must be certified to by both driver
and observers before a notary public,
Mr.. McCormmach of the Pendleton
Auto Co., has made a preliminary
test and reports having made IS miles
on one gallon. He anticipates great
