On Christina. Eve.

Oh, little babe. oh, gentle babe,
That in q manger lies.
A~-listening to the choral sweet
Which floats a-down the skies,
We. through the year, who only hear
The worlds harsh laundering,
Listen that we, dear babe, with Thea
May hear the angels sing.
Oh. little babe. oh, gentle babe.
Who lookest toward the star
And seest when they bear their gifts.
Those wise men from afar.
From wandering wide back to thy side,
Weary and worn, we fee;
But hearts that bleed and hands that need
Are all we have for thee.
Oh. little babe. oh, gentle babe,
Our hearts were hard and cold;
The star we loved, the star Of fame.
The o the song Of gold.
At the hangers side this Christmas tide
We listen and we long
To see that star shine from afar
And hear the angels song.

"CLEAN-UP ARTIST" BEATS

Sam Horwitz Goes on Rampage in
Downtown Barber Shop and Swells
Hospital Lists

Sam Horwitz known as the cleanup
artist Of South Philadelphia went on
rampage again last night. He wiped up the
floor with five men, bit off the finger Of
frail little woman and then took a piece
out Of her arm. He met his Waterloo only
after his head had come in contact with
the hip-pocket artillery Of two district de-
tectives. It happened in this way:
For some unknown reason. Sam, who
weighs eco pounds stands six feet-two and
boasts Of the rep Of being bad one, %
walked into the barber shop Of Antonio
Santora. at 912 South Sixth street. and
announced that he was going to lick every
thing in sight.
II may have been because all four chairs
were occupied with customers doing peace
fully under the magic of tonsoral fingers
At all events, Sam cut loose and in less
than five minutes the four customers only
half shaved, had heat it to the street by
the only exit.
Not so Antonio. the proprietor. Although
hardly more than bantamweight, he tried
to overcome the infuriated Sam with a
Nelson hold
His efforts were unsuccessful Like a
dutiful wife. Mrs Carmcla Santora frail
little woman, rushed upon the, giant. but he
bit off the end of a finger on her right
hand Then as il resentng her screams,
he gave her a vicious bite in the arm

help had been sent in to the Fourth street

Endurance All Important

Vibration is the foe to long motor life. It ac-
counts for breakdowns and for high maintenance
cost.
Vibration is usually responsible for the cars fire.
quent trips to the repair shop.
It is vibration more than anything else which
forces cars out of speedway contests. Vibration
accounts for diminishing power OF motors.
II vibration and friction could be entirely elm
mated there would be no such thing as motor car
ever wearing out. By reducing vibration the life of
the car is prolonged.
Vibration also reduces the usable power of the
motor. Much of the power generated is consumed
within the motor by its own vibration.
