years that day has been cele-
brated by unselfish giving throughout all
Christendom, inahon6r and memory of
Him who gave5his life for the good Of
mankind, and who taught that Greater
love hath no man. than this, that he lay
down his life. ffor' his friends" By the
parable Of the good Samaritan He also

ss2, His life and His teachings all influenced
His followers to be unselfish, helpful gen.
erous, kind, and truthful. And he warned
against the wolf in sleeps clothing.
A counterfeit emphasizes the fact that
the genuine has great value, be it a c0un-
terfeit coin, product, or character. None
of the Christian virtues is any the less
valuable because nation has deliberately
and with malicious intent, clothed a most
degraded and brutalizing national thought
in cloak of Christian phraseology.
Nor is the Christian spirit obliterated by
the horrors Of war when that war was
fought to bring peace on earth, good will
to men; fought that truth may have a
chance to triumph over error and deceit;
lOuSHL tNdL IISNL HAY Cul4ucI NAkAI,
fought that the selfish, greedy, brutal,
vine right of kings may be disarmed and
punished for this world catastrophy. II
America exemplifies the Christmas spir-
it by giving with no thought of gain. Each
soldier and sailor who has joined the colors
is willing to give his all, not alone for his
friends, but for those whom he does not
know, whose language he does not under
stand, knowing that they cannot give him
anything in return but gratitude.
go It is the same spirit that has prompted
every mother and father, every wife and
sweetheart to give their beloved to a cause
which will make it possible for the Christ
mas bells to ring out the glad tidings OF
great joy. a.sea@ : mi, Il. y.
the sacrifices of Americas mothers that
the mothers and children of devastated
! France and ravished Belgium may again
be free are but the full fruits of that love
which prompts the young mother to fill
the Christmas tree with the trinkets that
little children enjoy, knowing that they
cannot repay except in the happiness they
show.

it is more blessed to give Than to re-
ceive. Selfishness and thoughtlessness

The good Samaritan did not stop at
merely placing the wounded and robbed
stranger upon his beast and taking him
to a hotel, He paid the hotel bill in ad-
vance and promised to pay so long as the
stranger needed care America was not;
content with pouring little ointment up
on the wounds Of robbed nations. She has
helped catch the robbed, and now stands
willing to. pay the bill, to stay on the job
until just punishment is melted out to that
robber, and see that restoration is guar
one better. 1t is the fulness of the teach
ings of Him whose birthday we celebrates:
Our government gives our soldiers and
sailors everything they need while in the
service, so it leaves little we can do for
them directly, except send them each the
one package allowed, and assure them by
frequent letters that we, are keeping the
home fires burning. Indirectly we can do
much for them in freely supporting the
various organized efforts such as the
United War Fund, Red Cross and others.
In this way we can give them some of the
comforts they have left at home; some of
the entertainments they 50 much enjoy;
some of the moral safeguards that they
will need now more than ever since re-
lieved from the stress Of fighting. T.,
But let lis not forget that while we are
enjoying all the comforts we ever enjoyed,
hundreds of thousands of women, children,
and old men, who have been driven from
their hoves, have nothing-no home but
heap Of ruins, no clothes but few rags,
no food but bowl of thin soup once a
day. Compared with giving to them the
barest necessities of life, the lavishing Of
useless gifts upon friends, who are not in
need of them, seems empty. E~'
The first Christmas was made joyful by
the bringing Of the glad tidings that
Savior had come. Out of our abundance
we Americans can be saviors Of many of
the stricken people of war torn Belgium
and France, if we will but exemplify the
spirit Of Him whose birthday is celebrated.
TO those people our partly worn clothes
would be great gift. The Red Cross will
receive them.
Above the joy that comes because our
boys will no longer have to face the deadly
bullets, gas, and shells, and spend the win
ter in the unspeakable trenches, our
hearts are filled to overflowing with sat-
isfaction because right, justice, and free
dom have triumphed.
Once more it is fitting that the angels
shall sing, "Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace, good will toward
men" -

DISCOVER GAS THAT
 IS NON- -INFLAMMABLE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9-Discoyery of an inert, n-inflammable gas, de- signed for use in balloons, dirigibles and other lighter -than-air craft was revealed by the navy department today in statement explaining expeditures now being made jointly with the army for it's production. The department said the use of this new element, officially termed "argon," will eliminate the hazard of fire and explosion that all ways has accompanied balloon opera tions, where hydrogen has been used to inflate the gas bags.
 The gas from which 'argon' is ob tained comes from wells at Petrolia. Texas, owned bv the Lone Star Gas company, the statement said, and l0-inch pipe line which cost s1 ,050 .0OO is being laid for a distance of 94 miles. from the wells to a plant at North Fort Worth, where the gas will be com pressed into cylinders for shipment to the balloon fields.
 High proof gasoline is obtained in a ratio of about five gallons per 1000 | cubic feet of gas, it was said, and after the 1 per cent of "argon' is re- moved, by agreement with the Lone Star company, the remainder of the gas is turned into the city mains of Fort Worth and Dallas.
 The department estimates that the plant at North Fort Worth. designed by the navy bureau of yards and docks and which will cost $500, 900, will be 1 completed by next April

 United States Steel and associated issues were steady to firm during the early and intermediate periods, but fell back later. Rails were apathetic throughout.
 Motors were irregular, mainly in consequence of the uncertain move ment of Studebaker, which suffered from further selling pressure in con- necticn with the company's proposed financing.
 Metals, tobaccos, feathers, fertil izers and the distilling isues lacked definite tendencies on greatly reduced operations, becoming moderately un- settled however, in the general reac- ton of the last hours. Total sales amounted to 540,000 shares.
 Dealings in bonds were without es- pecial features, both domestic and for eign isues showing moderate irregular ity. Liberty bonds eased again, but held above recent low records. Total sales, par value, aggregated $9,650,000. Old United States bonds were un- changed on call.
