 We have two well-born Christmas carols by American writers. 70 Little Town of Bethlehem" was written by the popular Boston divine, Phillips Brooks. "Shout the Glad Tidings. Ex- ulting Sing" was composed by Dr. Muhlenburg, the founder of the Church of the Holy Communion, St. Luke's hospital, and other charities in New York city.
 Angels from the Realms of Glory" is by the great hymn writer James edited Sheffield newspaper in Eng land. He is often confounded with Robert Montgomery, who was ridi- culed and denounced by Macaulay.
 "Sing a Song This Blessed Morn" was written by Bishop Christopher Wordsworth, nephew of the great English poet and father of the present Bishop of Salisbury. pr. Wordsworth was Master of Harrow. Canon of Westminster. and Bishop of Lincoln.
 while Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night" Is by Nahum Tate poet laureate, associated with the Tate and Brady version of the Psalms He died when in prison for debt.
 The popular hymn "Christians Awake, Salute the Happy Morn," was written by John Byron, a Lancashire man, who was esteemed good scholai and poet in. his day. He was born IT. Manchester in 1891. .....-....

First Xmas Carol
 Found in, the .r r.,,9 ,1 Roman Mass

were originally ac-
 1companied with dance, and Mt this carol dancing Is part of WVs the rhythmic movement of AG the Oberammergau play, as we'll as of the dances of the IS&T4l Shekers of Lebanon in New
 T3ypT York state. - ----e The first Christmas carol In history Is the "Gloria in Excelsis' found tn the Roman mass, and in the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer. It is ascrtbed to Telesphorus, bishop of Rome About the year A. D. 139, and Is connnna in both the eastern and western churches.
 An sad English carol begins with the notable words:
 Bessod a staple, tender babsS, Nag ss
 h nesNhng winter night
 Tn homs&y wanger trembling Hes. *, A2as, & p*teous sight.
 The ~Aigbex exitics' have wondered how the shepherds could watch their f1ocks by night, even. in winter In Judea. bwt tkis presented no .difl1cuity to Robert Seuthwell. the author of this quaint carsl, who as a Jesuit was im- prisonsd In the Tower of London, and, after enduring the tortures of the rack. was executed in 1594.
 A popular carol among the Germans is one written by Martin Luther for his little son Hans. It begins: From the highest heaven come to tell The gladdest news which e'er befell k A very sad story is told in connec- ton with this carol. Tn order to give 1t realistic effect in a certain Luther an church it used to be sung by a boy let down from the roof of the church dressed as an angel. But one day the rope broke, and the boy was killed. This put an end to very beautiful but dangerous Christmas custom.
 At a time when the iiturgical and biblical plays were popular the Christmas carol was an important feature. Tn Italy in the time Of St. Francis of Assist, in order to instruct the people, the villagers came to the church carrying lighted torches. and there they saw the scene of the man. ger filled with hay, and the OK and ass standing in their places near the Virgin and Child. Then 1t was that St. Francis and his friars stood by the manager ali night long, giving God thanks that by this means the hearts of the people had been touched
 "Rare old Ben Jonson," In the days of the Good Queen Bess," wrote a carol which begins ''I sing the Birth was born tonight" And about that time appeared a very popular carol which is sung in "Merrie England" even to the present day, the first line of which is God rest you, merrie gentlemen" Some old Christmas carols have come down to us in half Latin and half English. Among them is carol which appears in the collection for Grace church, New York city:
 When Christ was born of pure Marie In Bethlehem, that fair cite Angels sang with mirth and glee Tn Excelsis Gloria
 In this "Grace collection" there is a carol commencing "Over the world oD | Christmas morn" by pr. Mackay i Smith.

ILLICIT TRADING E INCREASING
 IN GERMANY

COBLENZ.-Ilicit trade in food, with it's attendant evils of snug gling and usury, is on the increase throughout Germany, according to newspaper accounts.
 The rationing system has never been abandoned, even in the occu- pied areas of the Rhineland. and some of the newspapers contend that the average individual cannot subsist on the amount of food is- sued. The authorities are making every effort to check the illegal traffic in food of all kinds, and the courts are crowded day after day. 1 Smuggling of potatoes IS being carried on this winter in all parts i of Germany on scale greater than : in wartime Germany produced an excellent potato crop last year and the authorities are trying to save it from falling into the hands of the speculators.
 Well-to-do people have been going to Bavaria from Prussia, Wurttem- burg and Thuringia to buy potatoes eggs and fats, for which the farm CTS charged exorbitant prices. Thi: worked hardship on the poorer people, who could not compete witf them.
 Living appears to be cheaper II Bavaria than elsewhere in Germany Butter has been selling there at tiv' marks pound, compared with 8 marks in Berlin. Eggs are quote at ? pfennigs each, while in Berli1 they cost 1.75 marks apiece. Egg Tn the occupied area iafe oee bringing from 2 to 2.5 marks eac this winter, but are very scarce any price.
 Meat is also reported as fairl plentiful in Bavaria, although all other states this form of foo is virtually unpurchasable by house holders through regular channel
 excepting once or twice each montl
 when the authorities permit fe' ounces to be distributed by th
 card system to individuals. Mo
 of the hotels throug ghout German
 continue to serve meat three or for days each week, however. The pr'
 prietors say they obtain this frol
 Holland and this does not viola'
 the food regulations.

Someone has said that the road to

If the principal part of the pavement

made mostly of things that were

There is a type of person in every
community and in every body of
students who has an enormous en-
thusiasm for starting things. His
mind is full of the dreams of what
he will do and he has just enough of
energy to start the ball rolling in
the right direction. But, once the
enterprise is launched, he learns to
his sorrow that tremendous amount
of grit, elbow grease, sweat, and
time are required to push his under
taking to success and-he drops his
plans.
I believe that there is no rule for
permanent success in any kind of
work that does not include the no.
ton of careful selection of tasks to
be done and of persistent and deter

Nevertheless, it got out by the win

events. That's proof enough that it

Gunner there. And that's proof enough
that it got out of the room, because
it left traces of its presence outside.

There is a sort of backyard be
hind the house. The window of Cap
tain Gunner's room looks out into it.
1t is full Of boxes and litter of all
sorts, and there are a few stunted
shrubs scattered about. In fact, there
is enough cover to hide any small OBJ

why it was not discovered at first.

OUR WARSHIPs AS POLICE

American warships riding ma
jestically at anchor in Mexican
ports will create sense of secur-
ity in the breasts of Americans
living in that revplution infected
region. American warships mean
something nOW-much more than
they did during the Vera Cruz
trouble back in 1916. American
warships in those former days
hadn't been tested as they have
since then.
For our own part we do not
anticipate trouble between Amer
lea and Mexico. What ever dis
turbances are taking place in
MeXlco at present are largely do
nestle ones.
There are American interests
that would plunge us into con-
tlict with Mexico because of the
monetary gain accruing. But the
great bulk of American citizens
wants no war and we may rest
assured that the Mexican govern.
ment is not itching for a scrap
with Uncle Sam.
During the Mexican house
cleaning, American citizens must
be protected to be sure, and that
