German Clocks Mark
Paris Time

By decree of the American military
authorities the clocks at Coblenz
Treves and elsewhere in the occupied
area were set back an hour on Sunday.
The change from the German time
was made so that the clocks within
the bridgehead and the district west
of the river Rhine would correspond
with the French time or the time used
by the American Expeditionary Force.
in accordance with the terms Of the
armistice the Germans on Sunday
turned over to the Americans 1880
motor trucks. About five hundred Of
these trucks have been assembled at
Coblenz and the others in two villages
near by. AS rapidly as possible the
former German army trucks are be-
ing manned by Americans and used to
bring up supplies.
German built trucks, driven by
Americans, rumbled through the
streets of Coblenz on Sunday but they
did not attract much attention, the
civilians having become accustomed
to the sound made by iron tires rolling
along the cobbled streets.

The economic waste from insanitary
health surroundings and from disease
are enormous. 1t is impossible to es-
innate their extent. 1t is even more
impossible to assess the amount of
existing, preventable human misery
and unhappiness. The remedy is diff
ficult. Many agencies, including some
private enterprises, are working for
Improvement, and States and medical
societies are contributing. The extern
sion and improvement of agriculture,
including the drainage of lands, the
cleraing of swamps, and the construc-
tion of good roads, make for better
ment.' The Department of Agricul-
ture, through it's home demonstration
service, is giving valuable aid and the
Public Health Service is increasingly
extending its functions. A vast deal,
however, remains to be done to con-
troll such pests as mosquitoes and the
hookworm, to eliminate the sources
of typhoid fever, and, even more, to
give the country districts advantages
of modern hospitals, nursing, and
specialized medical practice. To what
extent the further projection of effort
is matter for State or local action
remains to be determined, but it seems
claer that there should be no ,cessa-
tion of activity until there has been
completed, in every community of the
Union, an effective sanitary survey
and, through the provision of adequate
machinery. steps taken to control ant
eliminate the sources of disease ant
to provide the necessary modern medi
cal and dental facilities easily acces
sible to the mass of the people"

The Joy of Giving

Christmas.
Every year it comes and every year
we love it and wonder why we haven't
made the spirit of it last all through
the year, writes Margaret Mott Cor
don. Perhaps we do not have the
time? But to what do we give our
time? And why is it that at Christ
mas we all "take time" to do the many
little thoughtful things that we have
been postponing for months and
months?
One of the things we seem to forget
is that the more we give to others the
more we have ourselves, and the more
we have the capacity for giving. 1t IS
a wonderful thought and one that we
should carry around with US all the
time. For we always feel SO tingling
and joyous when we have made sac
rifice or see that we have really made
someone else unusually happy.
This year for most Of us is very dlt-
ferent than any we have yet lived, be-
cause, even though we are not all ac-
tually on the firing line, we are there
in our hearts and the thought cannot
but give us a strange eXultant feeling
to be in the front ranks, marching
with the music!
After all, that is just what the spirit
of Christmas is. During the Yuletlde
We are all in the front ranks and tri-
umphantly moving forward, for we
are thinking, not of ourselves, but OF
others. And that very sense which
loves and therefore serves, which un-
derstands and therefore sacrifices, is
the true spirit of Christmas. 1t is the
real thrill of life. 1t is the greatest
and most far-reaching emotion in the
world, and just to know that we are
capable of that feeling, even though
it should come only once ayear, woulc
show that there is the right spirit
within us, and with little cultivation
we might make it last all through the
year.

freezes this fall. After the garden
freezes hard, it will be impossible to
dig pit properly and construct the
frame preparatory to making a hot
bed The essentials are a framework
of boards and sash or light canvas for
covering. Standard hotbed sash are
3 by 6 feet in size, and the frame can
be made to fit one, two or more of
these sash. The framework of boards
should be Is to "a inches high at the
back or north side, and 10 to II inches
frame should be so arranged that the
sash will not only slide on ways but
also may be lifted or tilted at any
angle for ventilation. The framework
should be painted, and the sash should
be given at least two coats of white
lead and linseed oil, with little drier
added before the glass is put in. In
glazing hotbed sash the putty is first
spread in the grooves on the sash bars,
the glass then being bedded in the
putty and well pressed down. The
bottom light or glass in each row
should be put in first; then the second
light should overlap the first one about
one-fourth Of an inch; and so on until
each section of the sash is filled, the
last piece of glass being cut to fill out
the remaining space. Each piece OF
glass is fastened in place by means OF
special glazing points driven into the
wooden sash bar.
The hotbed pit should be IL to Il
inches deep, and just trifle smaller
than the framework of boards. The
dirt removed from the pit is used t,
bank around the frame. The pit may
be filled with leaves during the earl,
winter to prevent the soil freezing
and the sash stored where they will
be protected from the weather unit
time to start plants in the bed.
this part of the work be done now
there will be no difficulty in gettin,
an early start for spring garden.

The Day of Christmas Bells

There are some festivals, like birth
days, for example, which affect sin
gle family; others like national holi-
days, embrace the nation; and some
there are which girdle the entire
globe. But Christmas Day lifts at
one leap line of connection between
earth and heaven. If there be one day
on earth on which above another the
gates of heaven are more widely open
ed, it is the day when joybells ring in
memory of the birth of the Babe of
Bethlehem. This is the day of the
