Christmas Spirit All PerUasiUe
Among Albuquerqueans Now

The Spirit of Christmas is abroad
and whether one belongs to the S p.
u G.. or not-the s. p. U. G, is a
society to prevent useless giving-has
absolutely no effect upon the thrill
of Christmas preparations. You may
be a confirmed old bachelor or bach
elor girl but did YOU ever 60 down
the street and see all the shop win
dows full of Christmas toys without
envying your married friends their
Riddles? You begin Immediately to
wonder if you have any friends among
the little tots for whom you could
buy a doll or q gun, You simply can't
get away from the thrill of Christmas
time No sooner is Thanksgiving day
past than the mind turns, involun-
tarily perhaps, to the greatest feast
day of the Christian year. and Christ
mas shopping and Christmas giving
is uppermost in the minds of every
body, 5. p. L. G.'s and all.
Since that first Christmas day,
nearly two thousand years ago, there
never has been such universal rejoic-
ing as the world will see this year
The spirit of the Babe of Bethlehem
has been victorious and the hosts of
darkness have been vanquished. HUI
mainly no longer lives in dread Of
"kultur."
That Albuquerque plans to celebrate
with municipal Christmas tree is a
foregone conclusion, and on Christmas
night of 1918 the streets will ring
with such hymns of rejoicing as have
never been heard here before.
The fact that on the day after
Christmas the N. NJ, r. A. will meet
in the city gives an added zest to the
preparations, for many of the teach
ers will take advantage of the time
to spend their Christmas vacation in
the Duke city.

RED CROSS SHOP A
POPULAR PLACE.

To say that the Red Cross shop is
doing a rushing business would only
be telling the plain truth. And the
things they have to sell! There's a
beautiful big desk and a tiny sewing
machine, the latter may be carried
IN ladvs travelling bag. and it works.
There are clothes, especially coats and
shoes-they have all been fumigated
and electric cooking utensils; pic
lures, and a lot of one and o-gallon
jugs. To be sure New Mexico is dry.
they could be used for vinegar or
something else; and. as the auction
bills say. "other things too numerous
to mention"
For the week preceding Christmas
a home-cooking and gift sale has
been planned. All Red Cross ladies'
are earnestly invited to contribute
their bit to either one or both and
help make it a success.

What do you see Child OF the sun?
l see race that is just begun.
Why are your eyes so full OF light?
Because l come from Pools of night.
What did you see beneath the waves?
l saw a world of weeping slaves.
Was that q reason for delight?
1t was through this that 1 gained
sight.
What do you see. now you are free?
| see the world that is to be.
As each wave rose, | saw crown
By eager upstretched hands pulled
down.
As each crown sank. confused cries
And tempest thunders tore the skies.
Where the green wave had reared its
head
Were pools of crimson blood instead;
But from each blood wave
Uprose spirit, shining. brave;
The joy of peace was in his eyes,

And in his wake the waters ran
And made a pathway for each man
Each man and all that are to be.
No longer bound, but glad and free.

ers to make the inaugural festivities

Wednesday mid-week and being a
holiday all over the world, it is eX-
pected that there will be large crowds

posed that the formal program begin

ecutive and on Governor and Mrs. o.
A. Larrazolo to inform them officially
of the detailed arrangements for the

There is hardly remedial measure
which has been so much neglected
or abused as physical exercises and
we all know that they are seldom if
ever recommended by the average
physician. 1t is true that the osteo-
path treats almost entirely through
the circulatory system and seldom adj
vocates drugs or operations.
The blood must be kept pure and
active if health and beauty are to be
attained and retained, and as physical
exercises are within the reach of all,
it is surprising how few persons re-
sort to them for correcting physical
defects and disfigurements.
Baths, massage and exercise, which
are necessary for the upkeep of health,
beauty of face and form and youthful
appearance, are at every woman's
finger tips, and extravagant Turkish
baths, elaborate gymnasiums, etc, are
not at all necessary.

KIDDING THE
CENSOR. e.

When Stephen Crane was reporting
the Greco-Turkish war he had occa-
sion to write of a battle in which the
Turks turned and fled before the en-
envy. Crane watched with disgust the
Turkish censor toning down his manu-
script, and finally that worthy came
to the word routed"
This won't do he said I'VE must

tically. I'D simply say that the in.

Not many years ago Life asked,

LET TREES PLANTED BE
MEMORIAL TO SOLDIERS.

That Albuquerque should contem-
plate a monument in honor of the
men from New Mexico who made the
supreme sacrifice of their lives during
this war, is very fitting. The kind of
a monument has not been determined.
The best idea that has been advanced
so far is of a park especially for chill
dren. The fact that this city has a
very small park area, and the further
fact that this is a semi-arid country,
makes the suggestion of a children's
park in memory of those who gave
their lives for the safeguarding of the
children an especially happy one
At the intersection of Fourteenth
street and Tijeras avenue there is a
small triangular plot which has been
set aside by the city for the Soldiers
and Sailors park, This plot has no
trees and the suggestion has been
made to plant this plot with memorial
trees.
Either one of the above suggestions
seems to be a much better idea than a
huge bronze monument placed some
where in the city, which will be me-
mortal and nothing more.
The IT. s. Forestry service will give
every possible assistance to any plan
for enarging the park area of Albu-
auerque, is the assurance of Mr.. Red
dington, the chief of the service here,

COMMUNITY THEATER.

1t was a remarkable gathering in
more than one way. which assembled
on Museum night in the Art gallery
and proceeded to organize a Commu-
nity Theater association. The artists
and writer's were well represented by
people of national and even interna-
tional fame. There were present also
state and city officials, business men,
teachers, club women. in fact, it was
a representative crowd that entered
with enthusiasm into the project out
lined by Mrs Mary Austin. the distin-
guished writer and founder of the
