SANTA DISCOVERS
! FORGOTTEN WORLD
Brings First Christmas to
"Piney' Folk, Long Suppliers
of Seasons Greens.

Ninccntowu, y. j., Dec. 10 Santa
Claus discovered new world last
night.
In the heart OF the great New Jersey
pine belt, ten miles back into the
swamps and barrens from Nincentown.
at q little settlement called Johnson
Place. he slid down the chimney into a
humble ouc-room schoolhouse, so small
that teacher and twenty nupils crowd
it ON school days. Lat night it was
packed with hundred men, women
and oh ldren. many OF them gathered
there for tho first Christmas cclcbra-
ton I'm their empty lives.
At the same time the pine belt dis
covered q new world q world that in
past generations il had lodged and
feared and finally hidden from in the
dark woods. and whose code Of ciyiliza-
ton 10 had forgotten. For years
the pine belt has been sending its
Christmas trees, its red-berried holly
and its mistletoc to this outside world.
The hard, cold work Of getting these
products off TO the city markets is all
that Christmas has meant to the
"piney" children.
They have never known the toys and
the Joys. the treats and the "eats
which children Of that other world
associate with Christmas. Last night
the outside world sent back its message
Of Christmas love for "even the least
Of these" and things happened in the
little pine belt schoolhouse that the
worlds greatest novclists have only
dreamed about

WANTS NATION TO AID CHILD
Expert Says Federal Labor Law Is
Only Sure Protection.

Necessity for a Federal child labor
law to supplant the varying regula-
tons enacted b. different states was
emphasized yesterday by owen K.
Loyeioy. secretary of the National
Child Labor Committee, in an address
at the Park Avenue Methodist EpiscO-
pal Church.
although many Of our best men
tell us that they went 10 work when
eight years old and are better for it,
We must remember that their work was
under the best and most healthful con.
ditions," said Mr. Loveioy. Working
on the farm I'm blacksmith shop or
in a country grocery store are far dit
ferent from picking coal from o'clock
in the morning until 4 o'clock in the
afternoon, or laboring for 40 cents a
day i'm cotton mill.
"There are child labor laws in forty
seven states, but as they do not all
agree as 20 age. hours and conditions
under which children may be employed.
they are of little value

Rich May Cry for Auto
Fuel in 1916 as Poor
Plead for Bread.
MILLIONS OF BARRELS
SHORTAGE PREDICTED
Many Motor Cars to Lie Idle
Oilmen Seeking Relief In
New Fields.

Motorists who are erumbllng JUST
now because OF the high price OF gsso-
;ene ought to take consolation from the
fact that this Is not December, 1919
when it will be much higher, so the
oil men say. and maybe many automo-
biles will lie idle because OF gssolene
shortage.
"Unless relief can be had either
through the discovery o. new oil fields
or still other processes to increase the
gssolene yield Of petroleum, or through
some other development that cannot be
foreseen now, the indications are that
the price OF gasolene will 90 much
higher during the coming year
The paragraph quoted is the state
ment issued last night by the oil re-
fnerics and gasolene producers cen
tired in Bayonne. where are located the
big plants Of the Standard Oil Com
pany. The reason given for the great
advance in price is that the production
has not kept pace with .he consump-
ton.
II is estimated by the oil men that
the demand for gasolene next year will
exceed 30,000.000 barrels. two-thirds OF
which will be used in motor cars, the
balance in manufacturing and in motor
boats and on farms, where many Of the
tractors ere gasolene driven. In 1914
only 100000 barrels were produced
The reiiners admit that they expect
10 pay even more for crude oil than
the present price. which on Saturday
vas quoted at S2.l5, jump Of almost
100 per cent in fifteen months.
They point out that while the demand
for crude oil - growing, the supply of
II for gasolene purposes is gradually
diminishing, 40 that il may not be 6
common event 10 see the rich crying
for this precious fluid as the poor have
cried for bread.
The Bayonne oil experts are a unit
in estimating that the supply of oil
in sight will not meet the demand in
1916. Usually at this time Of the year,
and all through the winter months.
the big refneries accumulate stocks OF
gasolene 10 prepare for the increased
summer demand No such thing is
happening now. the oil men declare. as
they are trying TO supply present
needs.

HYPHEN DECALOGUE
GIVEN BY RABBI
DR.. SIverman Delivers Ten
Commandments for Ameri-
can Patriots.

True Americanism has been reduced
TO ten commandments, addressed to
Americans generally and hyphenated
citizens specifically. by Rabbi Joseph
Silverman, Of Temple Emanuel.
Rabbi Silvermans commandments
we're read to his congregation yestsr-
day morning in the course of an appeal
for military preparedness as means
OF protecting not only ourselves but
weaker nations of the world. The COM
mandments of patriotism are as fol-
lows:
81. the United States of America. am
thy nation, which, by the help OF God.
has brought thee out Of the land Of
monarchy, cut Of the house of bondage.
Thou shalt have no other nations
before me. Thou shalt not bow myself
down TO them. nor serve them. for /.
the United States, claim thy love and
gratitude.
"Thou shalt not make light of the
laws Of the United States, thy country,
for it will not hold him guiltless who
maketh light Of its name.
During the six days of the week in
which thou laborest thou shalt honor
thy country with thy work thou. thy
son, thy daughter, thy man servant,
thy maid servant and even the stranger
who has entered the gates Of thy coun-
try. And on the seventh day. on which
thou takest thy rest and which thou
keepest holy, thou shalt also pray for
the welfare of thy country.
Thou shalt honor the Constitution
Of thy country in order that thou may
est live long and in peace in this land
which the Lord, thy God, hast given
thee.
Thou shalt not kill the people of
another country by offensive warfare,
nor permit the people Of thine own
country TO be killed by the tricks Of
war.
Thou shalt not enter into entangling
alliances with any nation, but seek the
peace of all nations.
Thou shalt not steal the territory,
the commerce or the glory Of another
nation.
Thou shalt not be false 10 thy
treaties with other nations.
Thou shalt not coyet another ma
tlon's territory. nor its army, nor its
navy, nor its ideals. nor its ambitions.
nor anything that belongs 10 it,"
Rabbi Silverman declared that pre-
paredness did not mean militarism in
the United States, but an intelligent
planning for any eventuality-t abil-
lty TO play the part Of a buffer nation
for the weaker powers of the world.
