THE stories of the Crusaders
are among the most thrilling
i of the amazing tales of ro-
nance that have been handed
down to us from the Middle Ages
An integral part of the history Of
these stirring times. the search for
the Holy Grail. the conquests Of
Jerusalem. and the wars to wrest the
birthplace of Jesus of Nazereth from
the Saracens form some Of the FIN
est of the literary remnants of these
days.
That western Europe. under the
cross, embarked upon seven distinct
crusadcs to win the Holy Sepulcher.
and that these wars extended over a
period OF close on to a century. testi-
ies to the hold that the idea of the
necessity OF those Of Christian faith
possessing the birthplace of Christ
had upon the civilized peoples Of

grotto. This small underground
chamber is said to be the site of the
actual manGcr where Christ was

the floor underneath the altar. is re
ported to mark the exact spot Of
the nativity.
Above the star hang fifteen lamps
which have continually illuminated
the little chapel for several hundred
wears. They have never been per-
mitted to go out. Their Custodians
never even let them grow dim. Bril-
'antly shining they must ever be to
light that sacred sppot.
Above the lamps is the altar. 1t is
adorned with most elaborate en-
broideries. which are the work of
royal princesses. while from the cell
ing hang a number of brass lamps
and few paintings.
There has, of course. been no little
controversy as to whether this is the
actual site of the manger. The fact
that ii Is underground has led the
thoughtlesS TO helieEc that it could
not have heen the stable mentioned
in the New Testament. But we have

keys and mules often dwell under
ground. and that the stairs would
present no difficulties to the agile
little beasts. The most learned au-
thorities unite in accepting this as
the very spot where Jesus of Naza-
reth was born.
For hundreds OF wears the lamps
have burned brightly above that sa-
cred SPOT. and will continue to burn
as brightly for countless centuries to
come. 1t is to this spot that the wise
men iourneNed after the star and to-

Big Brother to Small Boy.

Spelling business for the juvenile
courts is one OF tho most pleasant
and one of the most profitable of oc-
cupations. The Big Brother move
ment is an organization whose single
purpose is to make the juvenile court
superfluous by keeping malice out of
small boy mischief. The juvenile
delinquent is. except in cases OF
actual social incapacity. a boy whose
instinct for fun has been misdrected.
The small boy in the city has all
the instincts of loyalty, most of
the feelings for fair play. some re-
spect for decency and an overwhelm-
ing admiration for prowess. If the
Big Brother can remember not to
patronize. not to instruct. and, above
all. not to uplift. he can make the
small boy not a Drig, but happy
and active citizen He must leave
him his mischief. All he can do Is
to prevent a vicious turn by supply
ing a more interesting normal one

For Chauffers

Don't imagine you are a care
full driver because you shout
or toot your horn at a pedes-
trian.
Don't lose sight Of the fact that
the pedestrian is also permit
ted to use the roadway.
Don't forget that children must
play, and that the streets are
sometimes the only place
where they can play.
Don't forget that the operator
of motor vehicle has the
same responsibility as the en-
gineer Of a train.
Don't fail to anticipate that per-
sons will cross at the cross
ings, and that you must slow
down.
Don't imagine that traffic regu-
lations were made for every

NEW YORK. Dec. 24.--When the

Fine feathers certainly make fine fans

pect a fair maid to make more eyes.
Nor is it surprising that she should be

Square fans that aren't OH the square,
