Benny's Notebook
HILLS AND MOUNTAINS.

A Hill is a small size hump OF ground
Wich YOU could see IL terther II Il
was higher.
But If a mountains enywares in the
nayberhood.
You'll know 1t without stopping to in
quirc.
A hill can get lower and lower
And vet remain one still,
But beware IL II once gets high enutr
Its mountain insted of hill.
3
For wen a crick gets big its n river
And a big squert of waiter makes a
fountain.
So likewise a hill that's a mile In hite
Immeeditly terms into a mountain.
A volcano Is a mountain
Squerting assorted lava and fire,
Wich the foolish cline up and peek
into
But the sensible stay away and ad-
mire.
II we dident have hills and noun
tains
This werld would be all flat,
But we have. so the result is.
Nobody thinks of that.

We're superfluous,
The incident made such an i'm
preston upon me that | have up to
this good day always spelled Christ
mas out i'm full.
How did "Xmas" come to stand
for Christmas?
There are two answers. Some
say that the "X" used is the symbol
for the cross, and as Christ died on
the cross 1t IL all right and very APP
propriate to use TX" for Christ. In
this manner you show no irrever-
cnce. and at the same time you ex-
psdits matters. Fer there .s no
doubt great deal OF time is saved
in substituting '%'' for Christ In the
millions of times 1t is employed
every year.
Others say that "X," as In algebra.
stands for the unknown quantity,
something indefinite, intanglb q,
and towards which we are cropping
trying to find n way and that un-
known quantity is Christ.
But this reason practically falls
of it's own weight, for the very fact
that we celebrate this day and make
1t the most joyous day in the year,
clearly indicates that Christ is not
an unknown quantity, nothing .ndet-
mite and lrtansible, but the bi"
gest fact I'm the history of the world,
There is not one person In thou
sand who writes Xmas" irrever-
emily. They write 1t that way
simply to save time, Even so, 1t Is
not time wasted when 1t is done
right, no one ever used a minute to
better advantage than In spelling
out C-h-r-i-s-t
But we find Xmas" used fire.

papers all over the country are full
of such advertisements, and will
continue TO be until after the holi-
days. Many gift cards, fancy boxes
and souvenirs attach the abbrevia-
ton. Grown people do not say
Xmas when they talk about
Christmas, little children do not, and
most Of them don't know what it
means when they see it in print.
1t is a bad habit we have grown
into and 1t Is getting worse year by
year. 1t is strictly an American GUS
tom, and we regard 1t simply as an
abbreviation of a rather long word
just as we write Mass" for Massa
ohusetts.
However, this Is one case In which
we should not take the short cut.
We are entirely too speedy, ana 1t
will not hurt us a bit to take little
more time and write It Christmas.
A splendid. crisp editorial appeared
in some paper just lately and, being
short, 1t may be quoted here in full,
1t was headed:
XMAS
Christmas is the festival that
commentaries the birth of the
Christ child. the day-star of Chris
tianity
Some folks are such careful and
economical users of space that
they use Xmas for Christmas
''X" many stand for Christ, but
why not make it so clear that all
who run may read?
There is nothing but CONNER
clalism in Christmas with Christ
left out.
OF course, we don't mean to he r-
reverent when we write Xmas" but
that Is not enough; we can't help
but be little reverent and have our
thoughts focused on the meaning of
the word II we spell 1t out in full
Christ t-m-a-s. Try it.

"SEVEN TERR|BLES" TO
PERFORM WITH CIRCUS
Trained Lions, Tigers and Other
Animals Feature Shows Here
Next Saturday.
II do not so much as biinkl"

Il do not SO much as blinkl
That. in a sentence. is the way
Rudolpho Matthies explains how he
twice daily controls and performs the
seven terribles" with the Ringing
Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus.
The "terribles'' are Bengal and Snna-
tran tigers. They weigh from 400 to
500 pounds each and form one OF the
many ferocious animal acts presented
in the battery of steel arenas that the
big double circus is this season carry
ing on tour. They are the largest
tigers ever trained and they do many
wonderful things. To see 'Santalis'
leap a distance of thirty feet over an
object held twice as high as g. man $
head is TO witness a sight not likely to
be forgotten.
There are two things that a trainer
must remember, says Matthies and.
since he is accounted the foremost wild
animal trainer IN all Europe, he should
know: Keep your animals apart while
they are in the arena: and, secondly.
watch them with unblinking eyes"
Even should anything happen, the
tigers are much more likely to fall upon
one another than they are to XIII their
trainer. Matthics asserts. When put
ting the "seven terribles" through a
score Of tricks in the big 50-foot arena
Of steel. Matthies carries buggy whip
and an iron bar A close examination
OF the bar shows that ii is covered with
marks made from the fangs Of the big
t3r7rtes and. on inspection OF Matthies
arms and shoulders reveals scars
c,,r;ously like those TO be found on the
bar his is but one of a dozen acts in
which. lions, tigers, leopards and polar
bears appear. These and scores OF
other circus numbers viii be presented
when the great double show exhibits IN
Wilmington next Saturday.

Alkali i'm Shampoos
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkah, which is very
Injurious. as it dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle.
The best thing TO use is Muisified Co
coanut oil shampoo. for this is pure and
entirely greaseless. IL is very cheap
and beats anything else all to pieces.
You can get Mulsified at any drug store,
and a. few ounces viii last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub il in. about teaspoonful is all
that ls required. IL makes an abund-
snce OF rich, creamy lather, cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and is
sbft. fresh looking. bright, fluffy, wavy
and easy to handle. Besides. IL loos-
ems and takes out every particle Of dust,
dirt and dandruff B esure your drug
