PAYS 1925 FOR SARSAPARIBLA
GOTTEN FROM BOOTIEGGER

Winchester Va, July II - George
w. Anderson, a lumberman. living at
stephens City, this county. had full
days experience in Winchester which
he is remembering today. When he
blew into town yesterday morning he
was fun OF hard cider and home made
wine
George at home is a quiet, orderly
married man with children. but when
he comes to Winchester he plays the
Indian, The cider and wine did not
produce the effect desired. so he con-
nected up with some bayrum, which
he drank
Hearing that there was man in
town who did little, quiet bootleg
glng on the side, he ran across will
liam Willis, a youth from the county,
who volunteered to steer Anderson to
the hootlegger. The alleged bootleg
ger proved to he Maynard Sirbaugh

1t was arranged that Sirbaugh was
20 sell Anderson quart of liquor for
S3.25, and he was told. after paying
over the money, to look under the
seat of buggy in yard along Fair
fax lane and he would find the liquor.
The unsuspecting Anderson did as
he was told, and. sure enough, there
was a quart bottle.
But |when Anderson, a little later,
took sWig of the liquor" he found
out that it was sarsaparilla pop which
/ had been sold him Sirbaugh and
Willis had vanished, so Anderson
went to police headquarters. where he
complained to Chief Doran, and de-
| parted.
Policeman Dove later succeeded in
rounding up Anderson and Willis.
, while Sirhaugh was taken into Gus
tody by Chief Doran. Sirbaugh ad-
mitted selling the pop to Anderson in
stead of liquor, and upon his refund
ing the S3.25, he was permitted to go
on his promise to leave town imme-
diateiy and have the mail in town

Willis was also discharged. but An
derson, finding more bayrum, man
aged to get rearrested and was locked
up for drunkenness, Later his EN-
ployer stood surety for the fine and

Colby is ignorant ~ It. the shipping
board is a very unsuitable place for
him to occupy. If he rs aware of the
splendid record of these shipyards,
which is a very much more reasonable
! conclusion. then the obvious deduction
follows that cambridge Colby was ut
tcrly insincere in his testimony be-
fore the senate committee.
In his testimony Mr. Colby did not
attempt to point out one single place
where special efficiency had been ex-
hibited where beer was used There
were none to point to, and this no one
knew better than Colby. Nor did he
dare to suggest that beer drinking was
a good thing for the laborlng man
from the standpoints of health brains
or morals, lie simply threw into the
scales Of that investigation the in
fuence Of his high position in the
interest of liquor making.

How to Tell Aue of Euus.

There is a simple method of ascer- taining the age of eggs, based upon the fact that the airy space at the broad end of the egg increases with its age. Now, when the egg Is placed In q tumbler of water in which any amount of common salt is dissolved, 1t will, with increasing age, tend ever more to assume a position with Its longitudinal axis in a perpendicular direction. A fresh laid egg will lie horizontally on the bottom of the vessel. An egg from three to four days old will rise with its broad end, so that its longitudinal axis forms with Its horizontal axis an angle of 20 degrees. At the age of eight days the angle increases to 45 degrees, at the age of two weeks to 60 degrees, and at the age of three weeks to about 75 degrees. When the egg is more than a month old 1t will float perpen- dicularly on its small end.

0hY UF NATIVITY UNKNOWN World Has Only Tradition to Rely Upon as to Date of the Birth
 of Christ.

The traditional 25th of December as the date of the birth of the Savior has no historical authority beyond the fourth century, when the Christmas festival was introduced first In Rome GA. D 3GO), on the basis of several Ro- man festivals (the Saturnalia, Sigil- luria, Juvenalia, Brumalla, or Dies natulis Invicti SoliS), which were held in the latter part of December, In com memOratiOn of the golden age of lib- erty and equality, and In honor of the sun, who in the winter SOlStice Is, as It were, born anew, and begins his con quering march. The only indication of the season of ChriSt's birth is the fact that the shepherds were watching their flOcks in the field at the time Luke II :S), and this fact points to any other season rather than winter, and Is, therefore, not favorable to the traditional date. Besides, the ancient tradition Is of no account here, as it varied down to the fourth century. Clement of Alexandria relates that some regarded the 25th, PachOn q. e., May 2O), others the 24th or 25th, Phar- muthi (April 19 or 2O), as the day of Nativity.
 AS to modern research, the only point on which diyInes generally agree Is that Christ was not born on Christ mas day, while numerous learned au- thOrities put the birth on almost every date of the year.
