Every single thing that brings news
of home and solance for a spare
half hour is eagerly welcomed by
our soldiers in the lighting rnaks.
and so l urge every one OF my read

1t seems TO me that If we have to
choose between spending our allow
ance on presents for the folks at
home, or for the men abroad, we
should send il all abroad. The folks
at home have Us and our love 70
cheer their Christmas for them, and
they are surrounded with the Christ
mas spirit and can see il shining
brightly everywhere. One the other
side. our boys hear the thunder Of
ceaseless strife. and they see the
dark curtain of smoke that hovers
over devastating flames. There is
no brightness nor comfort for them
anywhere. Their hardships are in
tense in this cold weather, when
there are no cosy berths for them
to lounge by and no pleasant warmth
&c keep their feet from being nip
ped by cold on the march. Their
only pleasure is the receipt Of some
remembrance from America. Let's
see how many we can send this
Christmas.
Even if the gifts we send now
don't reach the trenches by Christ
mas, send them off just the same.
For they will be welcome.

a soLDnER.s CHRISTMAS.

i just feel as though 1 had TO talk
about the kind OF Christmas that
our soldiers will spend in the
trenches Of France and Italy, and
what we could do 10 make that day
one Of some pleasure and comfort
70 -hem. 1t is late for such talk
/ know, but not too late.
Lid il ever occur 70 you that
many Of those men will not get a
single Christmas remembrance un-
less you send it? Many Of them have
no relatives near enough 10 include
them in their Christmas pleasures.
and many have no relatives at all
Every one Of US is able 70 send a
card with a cheering message. II is
the remem brance and the kindly
word that counts, because a soldier
. has no place for storing his Christ
mas presents and we should send
him something that he can wear,
or eat, or use at once, such as to-
baccO, candy, books, magazines. new
sweaters, scarfs, mittens, wristlets,
helmets Of wool, and the little COM
fort kits with their supplies Of ONT
ment and Red Cross necessaries.
and the few buttons and needles ard
safety pins that a soldier can use.
1t may seem strange to US, but
one Of the most acceptable gifts to
a soldier is a box Of ointment 10 re-
lieve the irritation caused by insects
In the trenches. You can't send too
many such boxes.
Please do not let anyone, not even
the smallest child, imagine that he
or she cannot add Christmas Joy
70 some one of our brave men. A
Sunday newspaper is JOY to a sol
der, and this can be had from any
family for the asking. 1t can be
wrapped and addressed and a one
cent stamp affixed, and so go on it's
way 70 make some man happy for a
while with its news Of home. The
same thing can be done with cast
off magazines, which are plentiful
everywhere. One who has no mon
ey on spend can obtain plenty OF

theory of the spiral nebulae This
theory is that each OF the spiral
nebulae is in itself a collection of
suns at an almost unthinkable dis
lance from our own universe.

Curtis thinks these new stars may
possibly have been Of the 18th mag
nitude before their outburst. and so

The Housewives Economy Calendar
by Frances MArahAn

we save by being economical with
the fats in the kitchen.
AS a matter of fact, there are
ways that we could use soap, if it
were necessary, so that it would go
much farther than it does now. The
real strain would not come to the
housewife, but TO the hotel manager,
the laundry man, and certain textile
manufacturers who use soap in dye
ing fabrics. The housewife can use
less soap; she can take special pains
not TO leave il in the dishpan or pai'
when washing dishes or scrubbing
floors. She can scrape dishes more
carefully, and then get along with
one dishpan full Of soapy water.
with rinsing water 20 follow.
Then she can take the precau-
ton TO always buy soap many
months in advance. BY doing this
and stacking it in a dry place with
out it's wrappers, the bars become
dried and are hence rendered much
more lasting. Then there are con-
trivances by means Of which the
housewife may use up all OF the
small pieces of soap. Soap shakers
make IL possible to use these in the
dish-water TO advantage, and the
smallest pieces of laundry soap can
be put through the vegetable chop
per and then saved to use sparingly
in the wash boiler for rendering
soiled clothes snowy white.

Three New Stars
Blaze In Heavens
And Then Vanish

BERKELEY. Calf, Dec. Ii
Three newborn stars, which blazed
up as a result of collisions or other
! disasters in two other far-distant

by the most powerful telescopes

Curtis Of the Lick observatory of
the University Of California. He
believes that il is perhaps 20 mil
lion years since these catastrophes
occurred, but SO vastly distant are
the two spiral nebulae that only
now has the light sent forth COM
pleted its journey through space.
The special Importance Of the dis
cOvery is the evidence given in sup
port Of the belief that each of the
spiral nehulae outside the milky
way is in itself an enormous uni
verse of stars, comparable in vast
ness 10 the milky way" in which
we dwell. That the milky way
itself is a vast spiral nebulae is an
opinion which is finding increased
support among astronomers.
Especially significant is the fact
that the three stars just discovered
are in spiral nebulae and not in our
own universe. Astronomer Curtis
discovery doubles the number Of
new stars discovered in spiral nebu-
lac, since only three had previously
been recorded, although IS new
stars have been recorded in our
own galaxy.
No human eve has seen the three
stars-they were found by DR. Cur
It's on stellar photographs. Recent
~ he examined a photograph taken
March 30, 1915, with the great
Crosley rejecting telescope al the
Lick observatory. The subject of
known as y. G. G. 1927 on the
plate he found the image Of a star
which did not show on a photogra ph
OF the same region taken two
months earlier. Examination OF a
photograph taken a month later
showed that this new star had
grown fainter, on a photograph TAX
en- six weeks later il was barely
perceptible. and then il faded from

Both the other stars were found

FACING y SHORTAGE.

1t would be strange TO say that
Commissioner Hoover is response
bic for a possible soap shortage, yet
il really does seem as if, through
the activity he has set in motion,
there has come about one of the at
tributing causes TO the shortage of
soap. Garbage isn't what il used to
be. What a garbage collector on a
large scale designated awhile ago
as swell swill' is largely a thing
of the past. The fact is, there has
been a reduction of so percent Of
the. fats and oils in city garbage
since the food-economy wave swept
over the land. And yet some pessi-
mists stand up and say that the
women of the land have really done
nothing as yet 10 relieve the situa-
ton!
One Of the largest soap makers Of
the country had practically all Of
the garbage of the city of Boston.
and this garbage, like all other gar
bage, is getting TO be less rich in
the very thing which the soap
maker finds useful. OF course. we
are glad, and even the soap makers
aren't kicking about it, since they
realize that the leanness Of the gar
bage really means greater efficiency
in the household. And the little in
crease that we pay on soap could
not possibly offset the amount that
