new MEXICO HOUSE
and SENATE PASS
DEFENSE MEASURE
Approve With Hardly Dis
senting Vote, Bill Providing
$75O,O00 For States De-
Tense and For Agriculture.

SANTA FEE, n. NJ, May Seth
house and senate of the New Mexico
legislature today passed the confer
ence committee substitute for the
state defense bill, the senate unani-
moulsly and the house with but two
dissenting votes. The measure ap-
oropriates s750.000 for state defense
md agricultural fund, instead of ST.
100000 as proposed by the house and
100000 as proposed by the senate.
t also eliminated the original prop
lsition to establish a regiment of cav
airy in the New Mexico national
guard. 1t provides for the creation
of state defense council, to act with
the governor in an advisory capa-
city, instead as some legislators had
wished, to divide gubernatorial au-
thority in the present crisis.
The governor expressed his ap-
prevail of the measure before the vote
was taken.
Only minor matters of legislation
remain before the assembly and these
are being disposed of rapidly. 1t was
reported that adjournment would be
taken before morning.

LONDON, May S.-Great Britain's
"meatless day" is to be abolished be-
cause it augments the demand on
breadstuffs and other substitutes
which are less plentiful than meat.
This was announced today by Baron
Davenport the food controller, in the
House of Lords. He declared that a
diminution in the consumption of
breadstuffs was of vital moment and
a main factor in the situation.
Regarding the necessity of securing
equality of supply among all classes
of the people, Lord Davenport said:
In view of the increase of submar-
inc activity and being determined to
take no risks of shortage, we thought
it expedient that preliminary steps
should be taken for a system of ra-
tioning our people to be set up at the
earliest moment so that it could be
brought into force then if required.
AS this system will have to be admin
istered by the local authorities, some
time must necessarily be occupied in
preparing them for the discharge of
their duties.

Washington Doubts Assign
ment of a General Officer,

WASHINGTON, May S.-There was
no indication at the war department
today that a general officer would be
assigned to command the army OF
skilled railway men that will be as
sembled as quickly as possible for du-
ty in France. The force will go as
regimental units.
1t is assumed that the purpose is to
place each regiment in charge of a
certain location of the railway lines
just back of the fighting front which
form the connecting link with the reg
ular transportation systems of France
for the handling of army supplies. Each
company will be n shelton railway

Engineers units are employed as
such and never assembled as brigades

purposes with which the new forces

The Mothers
Christmas Gift

Il never comes to Christmas but |
think about the times
We used to save our pennies and
our nickels and our dimes,
And we punched them all together,
even little baby brother
Putin something for the present that
we always gave to mother.
We began to talk about it very early
in December,
Twas a very serious matter to us
children, l remember,
And we used to whisper nightly our
suggestions to each other,
For by nothing cheap and tawdrys
could we show our love for
mother.
Hers must be a gift Of beauty, fit to
symbolic her ways;
Itmust represent the esweetness and
the love that marked her days.
1t must be the best our money, all
combined, had power to buy,
And be something that she longed
for;nothing else would satisfy.
Then it matterednot the token, once
the purchase had been made.
1t was smuggled home and hidden
and with other treasures laid,
And we placed our present proudly
in her lap on Christmas day,
And we smothered her with kisses
and welaughedhertearsaw away.
1t never comes to Christmas but |
think about the times
We used to save our pennies and
our mckels and our dimes,
And the only folks | envy are the
sisters and the brothers
Who still have thepreciousprivilege
Of buying for their mothers.

Here's a Merry
Christmas Game

TINE old English game Of tip re-
quires the use Of enough assorted
Christmas candies, nuts, raisins
and other dainties to make small pile
upon table, also pair Of sugar tongs.
One Of the party is chosen, who must
retire to another room, while the re-
naming players decide upon one Of the
dainties in the pile to be known as
"tp." The chosen person is then re-
called and with the tongs removes
pieces from the pile, trying to avoid
the piece named Tip, Of which, howev-
er, he does not know the location. ALI
pieces removed belong to him unless he
moves "tip," when all must be returned
to the pile and the turn passes to the
next player, who retires to the other
room while another tip" Is named. A
player may pass his turn when, after
drawing several pieces, he wants to
avoid the possibility of losing them
through drawing "up." The game con-
unues until the pile disappears.

TheChristnaasBircs:

ID OASTED swan was the Christmas
II piece de resistance in Chaucer's
day, but this dish gave place to
the peacock, and the peacock in its
turn was conquered by the turkey,
when Capt. John Smith, fresh from
his Virginian wars, came home to tell
the amazed English folk of the bird
that he saw parading the new world
forests, Exactly like a proud Turk
showing off before his harem."
When the peacock was in its glory
at Christmastide its plumage was gen.
orally restored 20 the roasted bird and
It's beak gilded. Sometimes the whole
bird was covered with gold leaf and a
strip Of cotton, saturated with spirit,
Bet alight in its beak-a relic possibly,
with the English snapdragon and
blazing pudding, Of the fire worship of
pagan days. A lady Of noble birth and
great beauty was always chosen to
bear the bird into the banqueting hall.
In the days of tournaments it was
over the peacock that the knights, with
Fuplifted swords, swore their oaths of
lchivalry and valor. The last record of
such fare seems to have been not upon
Ia Christmas, but at the banquet given
iby the duke of Granada to the duke
lof Clarence, afterward William ~ of
England.
: It must be admitted that golden pea
cocks and boars' heads have most al
Turing sounds to one with a jaded ap-
petite, and the England Of old, with
Its roistering carol singers. seems
most attractive land to have lived in.
But the Englishman Of today is more
than well content to have his carols
sung by a little cockney lad, to laugh
at the pantomimes in his magnificent
ly comfortable theaters and to feast at
home on turkey, mince pie and the
blazing pudding.

Reuiuing Old Time
Yule Customs

CPECIAL efforts are being made by
- women in many communities to
spread q revival Of the old GUS
toms regarding Christmas. Some years
ago q Boston woman with touch of
antiquarian spirit managed to stimu-
late Boston to revive pretty Yule-
tide custom by celebrating its coming
by singing carols in the streets and by
Illuminating the houses through the
placing of. candles in the windows.
Other cities emulated Boston In this
matter. In Carlisle, Pa, a community
Christmas tree was lighted in the pub
Lie square, and its glowing joy was
continued all along the streets by light
ed candles placed in the windows,
many Of which showed in the middle
of the rooms so lighted up, displayed
to the passersby in the night, private
Christmas trees, the glitter and beauty
of which thus were shared with all.
An objection to this attempt at glad
use Of candles-has been the risk Of
fre. But these days Of electricity or
even Of gas seem to minimize the idea
of danger, and there are different de-
vices that may be applied to do away
with all risk in the carrying out Of
the friendly suggestion. 1t is advised
therefore that ''the gladness and
brightness Of the home on Christmas
eve be not kept behind closed blinds"
and to that end 1t Is suggested that the
q light from every window, whatever its
nature, be permitted to shine into the
streets until midnight. The idea of
light is associated with all that is good
in life. The glow Of the cracking Yule
log betokened the hospitality ready to
greet the stranger at that time, but
there was more to it than that. Light
in days gone by was supposed to keep
off evil spirits.-Sallie Wistar in Phila-
delphia Public Ledger.

Passing Christmas
Eue Outdoors

WE all slept under the stars, as

shut oneself up in a room from

simply to miss one Of the joys Of liv.

IN Optimist or die-is that there were
practically no mosquitoes and very few
flies, so that the STIFFNESS Of a mos
quito curtain was unnecessary.
The night was cool and silent, e1-
cept for the distant howl of q jackal
and the occasional hoot Of an owl.
About five o'clock the life Of day began
to stir, and the sun gradually turned
the mopani and mimosa trees to a
golden green and bathed US in the
scent Of mimosa blossom, the 60 away
bird called impertinently from bush
close by, and two green parrakeets
flew over our heads.
Then one little sleeper after another
rubbed his eyes and crept to the foot
of the LED to fathom the treasures Of
the Christmas stocking. As the sun
rose higher tongues were loosened, and
soon crackers cracked, and trumpets,
six Of them, were heralding the morn,
If not exactly in the manner Of the an
gels.
The noise worried no one. But when
we had had enough we dispersed to

There's a wreath of green at the

And the church bells echo the glad

For it's Christmas time again.
