Austria. For the first time since the
battle of the White Mountain in 1920.
our troops are fighting for the Gee

that they broke through the Austrian

These men will continue 10 fight
with even Greater zeal now that the
United states has recognized their
status as an independent nation. Their
singing is one of the potent forces in
their attack on Austria. The Czechos-

trenches. and their brothers on the
other side hear them and manage rs

say you're going to give presents to

"Oh. hang it ALL throwing down the

about it! I'm sick of the whole thing"
He got up, stretched and shook down
his trousers. I'm going out to get
some cigars and take a walk around
the block. Haven't had any exercise
today.
When he had gone, Helen still sat
brooding over her Christmas list. She.
too had a feeling of revulsion for it
all. Warren was right, her stand
point was sordid-the giving of pres
ents only to return the obligation of
those given you. But was not that the
standpoint of alrnosr everyone else?
Had not Christmas giving come to be
merely the payment for presents re-
ceived or expected?
Reluctantly she drew the list toward
her. There were still the rest of his
family, her own and more than dozen
friends. Yet, with the exception of
few children. there was hardly one
name on the list to whom the giving
of a Christmas present would mean
anything more than a duty or obli-

the Central High school than did the
musical department. The grand piano
and eight other pianos, the Victrola
records, orchestral instruments and
all the music that had meant the work
of years to buy were completely de-

been bought with the proceeds from the
Euterpean and Glee club concerts ir.
years past, and next week the first mu-
steal entertainment since the fire will
be given at Gable. hall on Thursday.

new Instruments
At this time the private voice pu-
pills of Miss Hortense Estes, who is
the vocal teacher connected with the
Central High school, will give unique
entertainment when scenes from va
rious well-known operas will be given
in costume. There is some splendid
talent among the voices and appropria-
ate scenic effects will add to the in
terest and enjoyment OF the evening.
The high school orchestra under Miss
Leta kits will give several numbers
between scenes.
