Shortest Day.
Spartanburg Herald.

Spartanburg Herald.
The s1st of December Is the day OF
the winter "solstice (the word mean
ing "sun stands'). 1t is the day when
the sun reaches the farthest point
south on his annual trip, pauses and
then swings northward for a SIX
months trip. 1t is the shortest day
of the year, despite the Christmas
rush and the need of many more hours
of day. 1t is also the date when win
ter begins, astronomically speaking.
Daylight lasted only about nine
hours, in the latitude of Spartanburg,
while the night was Is hours long,
twilight included.
This variation in the length OF days
and nights results, as We recall from
our geography lessons, from the fact
that the axis OF the earth Gan mag
mary line passing from pole to pole)
is not perpendicular to the plane OF
the earth's orbit, or path made in its
annual revolution around the sun,
but is inclined at an angle Of 23-1-3
degrees. Had it been perpendicular,
there would have been difference
In length of days and nights, eacn
IL hours at all times, and no alter
mating Of seasons, but the weather
the same for all times OF the year.
While the days are shorter and We
are in the midst Of winter, conditions
are reversed south Of the equator Gn
South America, parts of Africa and
Australia, for instance). Just now
they are having their warm summer
time. with long days and verdant
vegetation.
AS we advance toward the north
pole the nights are longer at this sea-
son. In Greenland and the latitude
of Petrograd, Russia, for instance,
night lasts over 20 hours, while a
little further north (latitude 66.5 de-
grees). in Russia and Norway there
is continuous darkness for the entire
"a hours. At the north pole the sln
has not been visible for the past
three months, and it will be thre
months longer before he makes his
appearance, but then there will b.
continuous sunshine for six months.
At latitude of extreme northern Can
ada and Russia darkness will last al
this time of year for two months, to
be followed by two months Of twl-
light, then the sun will gradually rise
al I'VE the horizon, circle around anu
around, rising a little higher each
day for a month, then gradually low
ering for another month, all the time
circling around the heavens and con-
tinually visible.
While this is all elementary knowl-
edge, it is remarkably important and
interesting, and impresses the facs
that all these benefcent laws of al
ternating seasons must have been
provided by the Omnipotent and
Omniscient one.

esa SPECTACLE COa1NG WITH
GKlND SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

D. ". Grimah's magnificent histori-
cal saectacle, s"The Birth Of a Nation"
will come to the Opera House-NeW-
herry-1uns SO. "The Birth of a
Nation" is one of the most widely
dihcussed topics in the country. IT
established an absolutely new art
in the realm of the theatre-the ar
of pantomimic screen spectacle with
music. It also created tremen-
dous sensation because of its yaster
and more forceful treatment of the
same theme as Thomas Dixon's THE
Clansman." The consequences OF the
Civil War in Southern reconstruction
are fully dealt with, and the nation
reborn is apotheosized. Mr.. Griffith,
pioneer among directors, managed
the stupendous achievement without
the aid Of dialogue or speech, for mo-
ton pictures, accompanying music and
effects tell the coherent, logical and
moving story.

THE COMNUNITY TREE
A GREAT ATTRACTION
written for Fridays paperD

(Written for Fridays paper.)
The Community Tree on the old
Court House square on Christmas
eve was sight long to be remember
ed. The hour set was $50 and long
before then people gathered, and when
the hour came the four sides of the
square were thickly lined. Pave
ments filed, length and breadth, tod
dlers in front, infants in arms. On
the edges of the square, cars and car
riages filled drew up. Up on TIE
balcony, others stood, and in over
looking windows.
At 5 o'clock the uiferal. schools
assembled their pupils, and az the ap-
pointed hour they marched, a vrri-
table army "in bright array" naltins
near, until the signal. Then from the
high school, the boys and girls
singing as they came" led the way
and mounting the broad steps form
ed a choir.
Immediately in front, midway in
the square, stood the beautiful tree
with it's brilliant lights Of crimson,
purple, orange, green, ETC., and close
to the tree the children stood with
their teachers.
From the north side Of the city the
Speer's street school, from the south
came Boundary street and from the
west the children of the school on
that side were massed, until there
was a sea of heads beneath the eyes
Of those who were looking down
from above.
When all were arranged, at the
signal from DR.. Kinard, sweet and
clear and strong the children's voices
rang out in:

How still We see thee lie;
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by.
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light,
The hopes and fears Of all the years
Are met in thee tonight

them the beautiful German hymn, Isl
lent Night, Holy Night" the ola

Dismay," and at. the close, as, the chill

ABLE BODIED MEN, 19 to d,
LIABLE FOB SERVICE IN WAR

Washington, Dec. 28.-Every able
bodied male citizen of the United
States between the ages Of eighteen
and forty-fve years is held liable fol
service in the National Guard IN wal
time, without further act of congress,
by War Department regulations for
the government of the guard issued
under the National Defence Act. In
circular prepared nearly two months
ago, but made public only today, the
Militia Bureau directs that Wnere
National Guard regiment is called our
for war service, reserve training bat
talon to fill vacancies at the front
shall be organized out of the National
Guard reserve and by voluntary en-
listment.
eff for any reason" the order con-
tinues, there shall not be enough re
servists of enough voluntary enlist
ments to organize or to keep the re,
serve battalions at prescribed
strength, sufficient nuEaber of the un-
organized militia shall be drafted by
the President to maintain such bat
talon or other lesser reserve unit at
the prescribed strength"
The language follows closely tha.
of the National Defense Act, in which
the unorganized militia is defined as
including every able-bodied male clti-
zen within the prescribed age limit
or those who have declared their in
tention of becoming citizens.
The National Guard regulations,
which will be amplified in great de-
tail later, also strike at the problem
of dependent families of soldiers
which has cost the government sew
eral million of dollars already
through the border mobilization. Re-
cruiting officers of the National Guard
are directed to discourage the enlist
ment Of married men or those having
others dependent upon them. Such
persons are to be accepted only FOR
reasons in the public interest, men
who Wish to become officers being
the only class specifically excepted.
It is provided In the regulations that
no officer of the guard hereafter shall
be recognized as such under the De-
tense Act unless he shall have sub
soribed to an oath binding him to obey
the orders of the President and OF the
Governor of his State. Appointments
will be made ON recommendation to
the Secretary OF War from Goyernora
or the commanding officers OF Stste or
territorial units of the guard ana
after proper physical and mental ex-
animation BY boards OF officers. Pro-
motions will be handled In the aane
way and asny oMoer who fails In the
examination as to his professional
ability cann@ come uQ for ree1amiaa-
ton within @ year.
After three years active service or
when the organizations are dssbanded-
National Guard officers may pass into
the National Guard reserve.
The reserve ia to remain an anor-
ganized body in peace times except
for temporary purposes. 1t will be
composed of men who have served
three years IN sctiTe organizations
and whose enlistment contracts will
require them to serve three more in
the reserve unless they prefer
active service. They will hold the
same rank In the reserve that they
held at the time of furlough from
active service except that when draft
ed into the federal service they will
report in the grade Of private.
