We need to perpetuate the Christ
mas spirit In our homes.
1t is a solemn moment when two
human lives are united for better, for
worse, for richer, for poorer. in sick
ness and In health, till death do them
part. As Jane WEIGH Carlyle once
said, "If ever one Is to pray. II ever
one Is to feel grave, II ever one Is to
shrink from vain show and bubble, 1t
is Just on the occasion when two hu-
man beings bind themselves together
till death do them part"
There is nothing that more nearly
resembles the heaven Of our dreams
than does happy home, Is there any
thing that 50 surely suggests the he'll
of our secret dread as does an IN
happy homer
What is needed to build a homei
Money is needed, but how much more
than money! Money can build a
house-a wonderful and wonderfully
furnished house. Only love can build
home.

scious of the reality and glory OF
spiritual world.
Christmas is the time when we are
conscious of an unusual desire to be
kind. One day every gear the world
suddenly becomes different, Physical
" speaking, It is the same world. The
sky Is the same. The streets are the
same. The DEMONSTRATING a touch
Of holly here and there-are the same.
But you and I and our neighbors are
different We are more Just In our
judgments, more thoughtful in our at
tention, more unselfish, more kind.
1t Is probably true that these sea-
sons Of the soul, however feeting,
leave their mark. We are, perhaps, a
bit more patriotic than we would be
were 1t not for the annual observance
OF Memorial day; a bit more con-
sciously grateful than we would be
were it not for tho annual observance
Of a Thanksgiving day; bit more re-
ligious than we would be were it not
for the recognition of Lent and the
observance of Easter day. And one
would like to believe that we are q
bit more kind than we would be were
It not for the observance Of Christ
mas.
The very approach Of Christmas has
certain noticeable psychological ef-
fects. In 1914 It resulted In a tenn
porary cessation of hostilities. On that
first war Christmas the booming guns
gave way to Christmas carols, sung In

and German soldiers fraternized be.

drew near which would commemorate
the birth of the Prince of Peace, q
war-weary world dared TO hope that
foundations would be laid for endur-
ing peace. The heart Of the world is
wrung by the suffering of China, the
tragedy Of Armenia, and the pItiful
pleas of the starving children OF cen.
trail Europe. Is there any man any.

Wesleyan Student
Was Dead When
Put Into Water

Buffalo, Oct. 29.-Whether Kenneth
R. Losey, Wesleyan University junior,
met his death by accident or suicide
or was murdered, became the sub
ject of a difference of opinion be-
tween the police and the medical ex-
aminer's office today, following iden-
tifcation of the body by the father of
of the dead student who came here
from Northport.
Two police officers who were pre-
sent when the body was taken from
the Niagra river last Thursday even
ing filed statements with Chief Zim-
norman, of the detective bureau, de-
claring that a graphing hook caused
the deep incision in the boys side
which DR.. Danser, medical exanim-
er, described as a knife wound in the
cause of the death.
After hearing that the police were
still considering the suicide theory,
DR.. Danser again declared emphati-
cally that Losey was dead before the
body was placed in the water. He
could not have died of drowning, he
said, because there was no water in
the lungs.

Wetumpka, Ala, Oct. 29.-After

state law enforcement officer, charged
with first degree murder in connec-
tion with the killing of Lee Taunton,
during raid on an illicit still near,
Eclectic, September 20, verdict of
not guilty was returned this after
noon.
The case had attracted widespread
interest on account of the fact that
the slain man was running away from
the still and was unarmed and the
further fact that the only firearm
found among the alleged moonshin-
ers arrested was a double barrell ten
guage shot gun taken from Joe Thorn
ton before any shots were fred The
defense in addition to setting up the
claim that Knox did not fire the shot
which killed Taunton made the plea
that an officer has a right to shoot to
prevent felon nfrom escaping-dis-
tilling in Alabama being felony.

Miners From Any
Further Unions

Indianapolis, Oct 29.-Refusal of
President John L. Lewis of the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America to agree
to suspend union efforts to organize
the Williamson coal fields of West
Virginia was followed by the an
nouncement of Judge A. B. Ander-

made by Judge Anderson after he
had expressed the intention to defer
all action in the case until the final

England Planning
to Limit Sale Of
Intoxicant Spirits

London, Oct. ga movement is
under way in England to prohibit the
sale of all intoxicants to any person
under the age of 1S years instead of
16 as at present. A petition to that
effect, signed by thousands of teach
ers, has been presented to the Home
Secretary, and temperance Reform
ers are pressing parliament for a bill
dealing with this question.

the mother country is behind the do
in such restrictions. In
Australia, the age limit for the sale
of intoxicants has been fixed at 49,,
and in New Zealand, Tasmania, On
tario and Nova Scotia at 81.
In France, Poland and Czecho-Slo-
vakia the age is 18, in Sweden II.

The defense will contend that Miss

Nothing will be done by the de-

NJ 'M|LL|N CARRIED BALL
Star Quarter Given Ova-

Team Mates
By Associated Press.I

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 29.-The
south was victorious at the Stadium
today. Men from Centre college, Of
Kentucky, praying Colonels." and
football players of high degree, with
Bo McMillin driving them on defeat
ed the Harvard eleven by score of
6 to 0. The representatives of the
smallest college on the Crimson
schedule had accomplished what no
other team had been able to do in
forty years-defeated Harvard in an
inter-sectional battle. 1t was five
years since the Crimson had met de-
feat on its own or any other field.
The. victory belonged to the re-
doubtable Bo McMillin, backed by his
mates of an alert and aggressive
team. A we'll knit defensive line held
Harvard safe. McMillin thwarted
time after time, seized his opportuni-
ty in the third period and broke
through the Harvard line, reversing
part Of his opposing field and evading
the others for thirty-one yard roun
and a touchdown.
Brilliant Football Work
1t was brilliant piece of football
work, calling into play all the ele-
ments Of early interference, straight
arm evasion, change of pace, slant
ing runs and forward dash. For
yards McMillin raced within inches
of the edge of the playing field, but
always inside and his touchdown was
unquestioned.
The failure of Bartlett to complete
the touchdown with a goal left the
margin of victory McMillin's alone.
1t was his day.
Centre reversed the defeat receiv-
ed under McMillan's leadership at
the Stadium last year with McMil-
lin the leader again. An injury to
Armstrong had forced the Centre
captain Of this year out of the game
late in the period, and the end of
the game found Bo back in the cap
taincy of that he had relinquished so
that another man might have a
chance. With the sound of the final
whistle Referee Maxwell picked up
the pigskin, turned to Centres act
ing captain and said:
"Mr. McMillin here's your ball"
McMillin took it with hasty thanks,
danced up the field with it, then
turned back and was overtaken by
fellow players who kissed his cheek,
raised him on their shoulders AMI
carried him into massing crowd that
soon numbered hundreds.

there was small prospects for a final

Little, progress was made on the

Negotiations between the majority

Anne Morgan to
Have Slurn Home
In Sutton Place
ORy Associated PresM

New York, Oct. 29-Sutton Place
society's cosy corner in the heart Of
the slums, overlooking Blackwells
Island, has another recuit. She is
Miss Anne Morgan, sister of the
banker, who has just announced her
intention to join the exclusive colony
which has recently sprung up along
the East rive, between Fifty-seventh
and Sixtieth streets.
Miss Morgan is remodelling a A.
story building at cost of $125,000.
1t will be colonial design, following
the general lines of the house occu-
pied by Mrs. W. X. Vanderbilt, who
started the migration because of the
encroachment of business on upper
Fifth avenue.
Sudden shifts of fashion in resi-
dences are hard to explain in New
York, and even harder to predict.
The question is still unanswered why
society, after stepping gingerly
across the city to the West side, de-
serted Riverside drive and Central
park west for the rumble of trains
under Park avenue.
Sutton place promises to remain
as small as it is now select. To the
north it is bounded by the Queens
boro bridge, to the east by the river
and to the south and west by factor
les with soaring smokestacks and
tenements unzA1mbared.
But real estate brokers are happy.
These sudden eruptions in value are
what make the money roll in.
