For Christmas is the season of

books to read and books to look

AUSTRALIAN TEN COM
MANDMENTS.

Last February | ventured to
mint that it was a good thing
that the Ten Commandments
went into effect before the ref
erendum was adopted, for if put
to vote now not one of them
would be likely to pass.
The Bulletin of Sydney, Aus
tralia, followed up the sugges-
ton by offering a guinea for
the best set of ten command
ments suited to Australian con-
ditions and temperament. Now
the first commandment for the
Australian is evidently: Thou
shalt not say ''Thou shalt not"
to him, because then he will go
ard do it out of spirit of indie
pendence. So the Bulletin awards
first prize to the following, as
written in Australese and in a
form most likely to be effective:
l.. Yer might as we'll stick
for Ostraia.
2. Yer might as well stop
borrowin'.
3. Yer might as we'll keep
from usin' too many blanky
swear words.
4. Yer might as we'll send
yer kids ter Sunday School-it
won't 'urt 'em.
5. Yer might as we'll ave a

be boss yerself some day.
