Champion Golfer Turns to Farming

Woman champions of sport are doing
their part here at home while the
champion athletes of America are CIV
ing their lives in defense of democ-
racy or preparing in American train
ing camps for the great battle in
France.
Not to be outdone by men who have
starred in the same line of sport en-
deavors, Miss Alexa Stirling, champion
woman golfer Of the United States, re-
Gently has played leading roles in sew
eral local moTsments calculated to help
Her latest part in the widespread
food conservation and production cam
paign in Atlanta was that of demon
strator Of the value of the tractor as
an agent by which the gardens and the
farms OF the south may be cultivated
properly despite the inroads which the
draft has made upon the available
labor Of this section.
After a big parade in the interest of
the war gardening movement a demon
stration was held on farm on the out
skirts of Atlanta showing the splendid
work women can do and will have to
do before the war is over in helping to
feed the armies.
Before a large audience of the most
prominent persons Of the city and the
state Miss Stirling mounted a tractor,
which, it is asserted, will do the work
of four men and eight mules. and gave
an exhibition of the ease with which a
competent motorist can plow up the
ground.
The worlds champion golfer is an
orderly in the Motor Corps division of
the National League for Woman's Serv-

governor as part of the home guard of

Christmas Is Still
a Religious
Holiday

Christmas holds a unique place as
a yearly celebration. The observance
Of other holidays has changed, but
Christmas has yielded none Of its orr
ginal sacredness. 1t is now, as at first,
essentially a religious day. Its reality
voices a song Of fraternity people
grow at this season more generous,
more indulgent, more human. It is
evangelistfc for the destruction OF
malice and ill-will-diferences be-
tween one and another are forgotten.
Year by year Christmas d~evitalszes
selishness, and consequently the day
is a powerful factor for good. Great
characters step from the spiritualized
atmosphere; majestic deeds Of charity
leave their blessing and example ey-
erywhere. Yuetide is not merely a
period Of gift bestowal or solely a time
Of thoughtfulness. Its significance is
more profound. Feeling is immersed
in kindness. Conduct is adapted to
what is highest and best.
The first plain Christmas, Of which
that Of today is q sublime issue, digni-
fed sacrifice. The Good Book says:
"And there were shepherds watching,
and keeping the night watches over
their focks." A manifestation Of per-
sonal sacrifice. Those who would be
rich must give. The gift need not be
monetary. Giving Is without nmita-
tion-if a singer, give to others a glad
song; If a millionaire in experience,
give freely Of advice; If a table Of
plenty, share the repast with those
who r not only physically hungry,
but thirsty for sympathy; if invested
with geniality, become a prince giver
of laughter, Of service, Of encourage
ment. Be constructive. Followers Of
this doctrine draw from the season q
rich return in happiness.

DECLARE "XMAS" IS PROPER
Milwaukee (Wis.) cIergymen Say Ab'
b~reviation Has Origin in Greek
Spelling Of "Christ."

Use of the word Xmas in abbrevia
ton of Christmas is not ~irreverent o.
s~acrilegious, but is Of ancient anl
classical origin.
'oThis was the consensus Of opinion
expressed by representative clergy Of
a number Of denominations throughout
the city, says the Milwaukee SENT
Del.
The letter *" as used in connection
with the word Xmas to express Christ
mas is the first letter in the Greek
name for Christ, which in English let
tiers is spelled "Xristos," explained
Rev. Herbert G. Noonan, 8. j., presi'
dent Of Marquette university "Be'
cause of this, the letter *" long has
teen a symbol for Christ, and has
been used as such for generations
since the Christian era.
Gan illustration Of the common use
Of the term Is the custom, still preva.
lent among some men, Of signing let.
ters Yours in Xto,' in this case the
to- following the letter being the
Latin ending Of the name Of Christ
A similar opinion was expressed by
Rev. R. s. Donaldson, pastor Of Perse.
verance Presbyterian church.
II know many ministers who use
the letter x to express Christ in
writing their sermons" he said. "The
custom is Of ancient and honorable
origin"
ut is a quite common practice among
theological students to use the let
ter in preference to the full name,"
declared Rev. e. Reginald Williams,
rector of st. Marks Episcopal church.
.! always write it that way myself"
Rev. W. T. Dorward, pastor Of the
Baptist Tabernacle, declared that he
did not consider the term irreverent,
but personally preferred the use Of
the full word.

HINTS FOR BELATED GIFTS
Bags and Aprons Are Easily and
Quickly Made and They Are A.
ways Acceptable.

For many weeks before Christmas
the household is busy with needle,
crochet hook and tatting shuttle, fash
ioning Christmas gifts for family and
friends. But, there always are some
Debated gifts, that must be made dur
ing the last few days, for friends that
we would like to remember.
In such cases there is nothing more
quickly or easily made than bags and
aprons, and one never can have too
many Of either. Laundry bags, stock
ing bags, darning bags, piece bags and
bags for soiled handkerchiefs can be
made Of chintz or cretonne, and fancy
work bags, purse bags, and handker-
chief bags may be made Of silk and
ribbon. Several Of these bags can cas-
lily be made in an evening, and they
are always acceptable gifts.
And aprons-no woman ever had
too many aprons. A few yards of ging-
ham, percale and butchers linen made
up into aprons, which would not re-
IQuire more than a day to make a good
Isupply, would go a long ways as gifts
to busy house mothers. And caps, also.
At this time almost every woman
wears some sort of cap when doing
Iher house work, and a neat, washable
cap makes an acceptable gift, and re-
!Quires little skill in the making. And
80 with these practical and quickly
made gifts one may be able to catch up
with Christmas remembrances, even
Though belated until the last few days
before Christmas.
