CARDINAL GIBBONS HOLDS
new YEAR RECEPTION
Baltimore Pre1ate Iauds Work in
Europe Done Under Leader
!. shin of Mr.. Hoover.

BALTIMORE. January 5.--Citizens
of every faith and profession greeted
Cardinal Gibbons at his New Year
reception yesterday following the
preaching of his New Year sermon.
There were hundreds in the throng
that assembled in the corridor and
entrance hall of the archiepiscopal
residence when the aged prelate, ac-
companied by priests of his house.
hold, entered from the cathedral and
grasped the hand of the first in line.
AS one of his visitors remarked, he
did not look any older at eighty-five
than he did OF his New Year recep-
ton fifteen years ago. His eye was
as bright and his step as elastic as
it was then. The cathedral was
packed at the solemn high mass and
nearly every one who attended the
service afterward greeted the car
dinal.
In his sermon the cardinal laid
stress on the great part which this
country played in the world war, and
"how America poured her treasure in
abundance into the lap of Europe
Continuing, he said:
Only a few days ago Mr.. Hoover
that noble manifold me that America
today is feeding two or three mil
lions of men, women and children in
eastern Europe"
The cardinal also touched on the
struggle between labor and capital
and said remedy lies in sympathy
between the great forces.

"MISSINC LINK" FOUND
IN 1891, D. c. SCIENTIST
TELLS ST. LOUIS so OCIETY

ST. LOUIS, January b.EThe
missing link is not ,1nissing at
ALL: but was found twenty-eight
years ago, according to DR.. Aiess
Hrdlicka,.s.anthropologist at the
Smithsonian Institution, Wash
I ington, who addressed the st.
Louis Medical Society.
The link is the "pithecan-
thropos." a skeleton of which was
unearthed in Java in 1891, and Is
. exactly half way between the
chimpanzee and man. the scien-
tist asserted.
1.-THE size of the brain, the con-
tour of the face, the structure of
the bones and other features are
just as you would imagine If you
were trying to find something
midway between monkey and
man." DR.. Hrdlicka explained.
He asserted there is a possibil-
ity that race Of supermen may
arise within the next 1000 years,
which either will enslave the re-
mainder of the earth's inhab-
itants or itself be exterminated
by the others for self-protection.

portation is the advance
Il of civilization itself.
Transportation is necessity
before production can begin.
1t is also a necessary part OF
the distribution Of every
product.
The hundreds of thousands
of motor trucks prove there
is no place today for transpor-
tation that is wasteful and
slow.
The motor truck is untiring,
quick, efficient. From factory
and mill, loom andwork bench,
forge and farm, the motor
truck transports raw materials
and the finished product. From

manufacturer to distributor,
from mine to foundry, from
field to market, from store to
home and table, the motor
truck completes the cycle OF
production and distribution.
The motor truck is vital
part of business-it enters into
every trade transaction. Every
one today benefits directly or
indirectly through motor truck
transportation.
Therefore you owe it to
yourself, your business, your
family, to see and know init
mately the greatest transport
tation unit of the age-the
motor truck.

are getting as high as scventy-five dollars y

there is n break of two hours during the

Even now, when business depression has
hit Cuba hard, and when many of the
richest planters are broke, at least for tho
time, there is demand for good American
stenographers that cannot be filled, or
nearly SO. Especially the American girl

also how to be put in touch with American
firms there who might be able to use you.

WHEN DO YOU MENDf

II 's out Of the question usually to do
mcnding before clothes are washed. More
over 1t would be inconvenient if wash day
comes on Monday. However there sre
certain things that always should be
mended before being sent to the laundry,
either the home laundry or the outside
laundry. A sheet that has small hole
when it goes TO the laundry comes back
with n three-corner tear, and the sheet
that has three corner tesr comes back
with n long rent. Some housewives al
wavs change sheets Saturday 70 that time
may be found before Monday morning
to mend any possible rents or tears.
IT your laundry is done at home then
mending should be done as much as possi
BILE before the ironing is done. For this
reason many housewives try 10 devote
Monday evening to this work. The things
that need 70 be ironed may be mended then
in time TO bo ironed Tuesday and the
other things, such as stockings may be
ironed the next day or evening.
Many housewives never permit clothes
to so upstairs until they have been well
mended They keep mending basket
down stairs and find time for the mending
between downstairs tasks. The woman
who docs her own ironing sometimes finds
II a pleasant relief to iron and mend the
same day, having mending bag and an
easy chair in the kitchen or laundry When
she becomes fatigued with standing be-
hind the ironing board she rests henseh
mending for an hour and when mending
becomes tiresome she goes back TO the task
of ironing. In this way she makes it un-
necessary To go over the clothes more than
once. As she sorts them for ironing she
laws those aside that need buttons re-
placed or holes or rents mended.

trimmings.
That night down from his cold home

When the guests arrive and arc gathered
in the drawingroom, start the good old
game of Charadcs. Divide the guests into
two factions--one to net, and one TO be the
audience. The actors will 90 out of the
room, decide upon the word they are to
act out, then come in and act it while the
othef side sits and guesses what word is
being enacted.
Good words are: "Conundrum" first
act out GO" then 'Nun," then drum"
then the whole word together; Opera
ton" first act out "opera, then "shun, !"
then the whole word Mt once); Meta
physician" first act MET" then "a by
suffering then physician. then the
entire word-perhaps by shaking hands
with some man and callinghim Doctor }.
Charades take up good deal of time and
it will be the hour for refreshments by the
time the guests tire of them. The menu
will be:
Mock Chicken Salad.
Thin Bread and Butter Sandwiches.
Hot Coffee. Layer Cake.
Assuming that the party will consist OF
ten persons, spend the 81 as follows "a
of a pound of coffee NJ 40 cents pound,
80 cents (this will allow everybody

sandwiches ut 10 cents per loaf Of you

pound of butter at 60 cents 3 pound, 30
cents. Two pounds of pork off the shoulder
at IS cents pound, 20 cents. The salad
dressing. homemade, 10 cents And the
homemade layer cake about 40 cents
Each person will have one slice OF layer
cake (cut the cake into 10 piecesl served
on an individual plate with a fork. The
salad should also be served on small in
dividual plates. The sandwiches viii be
heaped on two large plates.
After the Investments, forfeit games

first of these is played by someone's
starting n funny story and suddenly stop

another person las though II were o hot

TO continue 'he story. Ii he fails to do so
at once, he must pay forfeit.
The second game is played by dis
trlbuting small cards among the guests,
leaving four guests empty-handed. Some
one is timekeepcr and at n signal from him
everybody must pass his card rapidly 70

IMPATIENT LITTLE TWIG.

Once on big apple tree there was a
little twig that began 10 fret about its
old brown dress ard wanted 10 put on
its new spring frock before it was time
''Re patient. said the mother branch,
''vou Will have q chance TO wear your
pretty spring frock as soon as 1t is time;
so keep On your old brown one little
longer"
But the little twig did not want 10
wait Il am tired Of these old dried brown
clothes. This is a nice warm day, and |
want my pretty green dress.
Old Mr. Breeze, who was passing heard
the little twig fussirg, SO he stopped to
say it was rather early and that il might
catch cold if it changed its dress before
springtime came.
But this did not matter TO little twig
"Old Nh Breeze Is old-fashioned, il
said and so, after much teasing, the
mother branch let little twig shake off the
old brown dress and put on the green one.
For q while little twig was happy and
futtered its new green frock so that all
the other twigs could see 1t. But one day
it began TO fuss again.
