At Church SOCIAL
More Than 200 Ardllerymen Enjoy
Elaborate Reception.

Evidence of the fostering spirit.
which prevails in Washington social
circles toward the soldier population
that is sojourning in the National
Capital, was seen last night in the
elaborate reception rendered them at
the Church of the Covenant, by the
Rev. DR.. and Mrs. Charles Wood and
Henry B. f. Macfarland, former Dis
tTict Commissioner.
More than 900 artillerymen from
Camp st. Asaph were present and
they were treated to an evening OF
entertainment. Talent furnished by
the District War Service Commission
rounded out a well planned program
Numerous other entertainments are
planned by the church. David Wylie
and A. A. Brookhouse are in charge
Of this particular phase Of work. Be-
fore long the parish house, used in
connection with the church. will be
turned into a clubroom for the bene-
fit of the soldiers stationed in nearby
camps.

MARCHED IN 1852.

Editor The Washington Herald.
I enjoyed the privilege of march
ing in the procession for Country and
Democracy. After the election of
Franklin Pierce in 1852. I carried a
torch light in a procession formed at
city Hail." marching UP the Ave
nue. to the Treasury Building and
thence to the end of the route. That
march in 1852 was likewise in the
cause Of democracy.

like to shake hands with them.

Cotter Morrison was right when he
said. There is no use discussing the

for a bad heart. True, only too true,
but though the world offers no rem

offers forgiveness and strength for

why IS RUMOR?
ASKS ALIENIST
Brain Specialist Starts In
teresting Discussion in
London Paper.

Who starts the silly war rumors7
DR.. Charles A. Mercier, the cele-
brated brain specialist. asks the
question in a prominent London daily
and then proceeds to evolve his own
answer. He does it something like
this:
Shakespeare has spoken of Rumor
as necessarily false.
"'Rumor Is a pipe
Blown by surmises, jealousies, con-
lectures;
And Of so easy and so plain a stop
That the blunt monster with un-
counted heads.
The still discordant multitude,
Can play upon it.
Bazaar rumOr' is a common term
IN India" says DIR. Mercier. ''and
bazaar rumOrs are sometimes true.
Indeed. there are fairly well authen-
ticated instances Of rumors Of impor-
tant events being communicated with
incredible speed to very great dis
tances. both in India and in Africa;
and these rumOrs. though usually
vague, have sometimes been true in
material particulars.

Of the Indian mutiny was current as

'Falsity Is not cardinal feature

1T never originates In a newspaper.
even in a paragraph communicated
with all reserve
'RumOr is very generally believed.

ability. a suppOsitiOn on some sub
ject Of intense and universal interest,

repeated from mouth to mouth with
increasing assurance and lessening

that everyone who hears II is eager
to repeat II and cannot wait to be
sure that he has got the story right,
and so the rumOr spreads"
DR.. Mercier adds that Dame Bu-
NOR should be a subject OF psyche
logical study.

The audience was unable TO
tell when she sang or when the
instrument played alone, except
by watching the singers lips. To
prove the eye could distinguish
the difference more easily than
the ear, during one selection the
lights were extinguished, and
when turned on, the listeners
were surprised to find the New

Heinrich having slipped away in

THE GIFT SUPREME.

We have had number OF peO-
pie who haye subscribed for the
Times for relatives and friends,
former residents of this city, as a
Christmas gift, and we doubt if a
more acceptable Gift could have
been found. When you are away
from home, the old home paper
is worth its weight in gold, as it
tells Of the doings of your neigh
ibors and friends-little items that
were never thought of when the
folks were writing. The paper
goes each week for year and is
constant reminder of your
thoughtfulness. Until January
the prices of the Times remains
lat $3.50, but after that date the
price will be $500 per year. What
more acceptable gift could you
give?
