SONG OF THE RAILS AT
CHRISTMAS

nm HEN I'm going home at Christ
eSl&bH mas
There's jolly sort of music
In the singing and the ringing
OF the rails beneath the train,
AS the whizzing wheels go grinding
Up the long track, stretching. winding
out the shortening miles of distance,
To a wild refrain!
Clangaranga! clangaranga!
Going home again for Christmasi
Clangaranga! clangarangai
And the folks awaiting there!
Oh, the hearts and houses open
10 receive me :. and a maiden,
With the darkest eyes, descending
Down the wide hall stair.
Clackaracka Clackaracka!
They are coming home for Christmas!
Clackaracka! They are coming
From the East and North and South
Home again to Christmas dinner,
To the great bowl, white and foamy,
And sucking pig, well-roasted,
With an apple in his mouth!
Clackaracka! Clackaracka!
Sing the rails AT home for Christmas!
There is mistletoe and holly,
There is laughter everywhere.
Chuckarucka! l am dreaming
Of dark-eyed maid descending,
With merry sort of shyness,
Down the wide hall stair!

FIRST CELEBRATION WAS HELD
IN THE YEAR 90.
Forty Years Later Before 1t Was Off
cially Adopted as Christian
Festival.

MHRISTMAS was first celebrated
" in the year %, observes writer,
but it was 40 years later before
it was officially adopted as a Chris
tian festival; nor was it until about
the Fifth century that the day of its
celebration became permanently fixed
on December %. Up to that time it
had been irregularly observed at vari-
Gus times of the year-in December,
in April and in May, but most fire.
quently in January.
In Rome the Saturnalia, or feast of
Saturn, fell at about the same time as
our Christmas, and it marked the
greatest festival of the Roman year.
The city abandoned itself to gayety.
Universal mirth was the order Of the
day; friends Toasted friends, and foes
were reconciled. All social distinctions
were laid aside. Work was stopped,
and no war was ever entered upon at
that time.
One by one other legends and GUS
toms have been disproved and over
thrown, yet none has dared attack the
legends and the customs sacred to
Christmastide. 1t remains with us,
and will always remain. Christmas
marks the winter solstice. The days
begin to lengthen, and the sun no
longer journeys away from the earth,
but enters upon its return. 1t is a
promise Of renewed light and warmth,
Of the approach of summer, and men
hailed these signs with every express
sion of gladness.
When Christianity spread abroad,
men adapted the old customs of their
ancestors to the new order of things.
The word Yuletide, used to give a
picturesque, oldtime flavor to the
Christmas idea, comes from Yule, an
old name for Christmas. The term
springs from an English word used to
designate the two months of Deem
Der and January, one Of which was
called the former Yule," the other
the "after Yule." There is a legend
which relates that it was the custom
years ago for every Saxon household
to burn. the Yule log on Christmas
eve. This was q great gnarled root or
tree trunk, cut the day before Christ
mas and brought into the hall on
Christmas eve with great ceremony
and accompanied by music. Each
member of the household would sing
Yule song, standing on the center of
the log.
In Germany and other European
countries it was believed by the chill
dren that the Christmas tree glitter
ing with candles and brightness, and
the gifts found beneath the tree, were
the work of jolly old st. Nicholas, or
Santa Claus, as we know him. This
kindly saint was no legendary char
acter. He lived about 300 A. D., and
was a noted bishop of Asia Minor. He
was looked upon as patron saint of
generosity because of his liberality.
The idea of st. Nicholas travelling in
sleigh drawn by reindeer originated
in the cold northern countries. The
reindeer were the swiftest animals

known, and they must needs fly like
the wind to carry st. Nick the rounds
of the world in one night.
Almost as important as the gift CIV
ing and gift receiving On Christmas
day is the feast of dainties spread Oh
that occasion. But even the Christ
mas dinner has its origin in the dim,
distant past. Feasts were always the
accompaniment of any festival. In
Egypt, at the winter solstice, every
family killed and ate goose as re-
ligious observance. We preserve the
custom of eating fowl on Christmas,
but the toothsome turkey has more
generally supplaEted the goose.

hair. ..
One can also make small dolls out
of odd scraps of ribbons, voiles and
silk combined with clothes pins. Paint
1he faces on the head of the clothes
pin with ink or water color.
Rag dolls are perhaps the most be-
loved by small children. Any little
girl would love to have a 'Raggedy
Ann" for her very own. "Raggedy"
is manufactured from unbleached mus
lin, stuffed with cotton; her features,
hair and shoes painted OH with water
.colors. She is especially proud of her
feet, because they so closely resemble
Charlie Chaplin's. Her eyes may
look large and glaring, but even if
they are two large shoe buttons, they
are always full of love for her small
owner. In making "Raggedy" be sure
TO stuff her neck, hands and feet full
OF cotton, so that she will not become
Amp and discouraged looking.
1t is also possible to make doll
a delight to little girls. Get a box
of suitable size and put partitions in
II. Two rooms above and two below
is the ideal arrangement. Scraps of
wall paper can be used for covering
the walls and small rugs can be made
for the floors. These may be knit
or crocheted out of rags, torn fine. The
outside of the house can be painted
some soft color. 1t should have
three coats of paint to look well. The
first coat should be printing coat.
For this use the same paint and color
as for the final coats, only thin it
down with turpentine; three pints to
one gallon of paint is the proper pro-
portions After this has dried shellac
all knots and sap spots. Then give
it a coat of paint. If this looks well,
another coat will not be necessary.
If enamel is used for the work, apply
coat of fiat paint hrst.
One can also use plain wall paper
on the outside instead of paint, using
narrow strips of a harmOnizing color
for the trimming. Often samples Of

CANDY MADE AT HOME
HOW TO PREPARE SWEETMEATs
FOR CHRISTMAS.
Box of Dainties Sure to Make One of
the Most Appreciated YuIe-
tide Presents.

N BOX of homemade candies is
d welcome gift much appreciated
at Christmas. There is an art
in preparing such a box for ones
friends and the end gained is worth
the trouble.
Candy boxes of any desired size
can be purchased at box factory,
or boxes covered with the art crepe
paper, sold at so reasonable prices
nowadays, make attractive recep-
tacles. A bolt of crimson baby rib
bon, a few sprigs of holly and sew
eral sheets of white tissue paper will
enable dainty package to be sent
from ones home.
In packing the candies it is wise to
cut paraffin paper and stiff bristol
boards to fit the boxes in layers. A
sheet of paper, then the layer of
board will keep the softer candies,
such as chocolate cream, from crush
ing.
Uncooked candies are never palat-
able, and no amount of flavoring will
mask a raw taste. On this account
take the trouble to prepare fondant,
which is the basis of all fine cream
candies. 1t is not at all difficult to
make if the instructions are correctly
carried out
A week before Christmas prepare
the fondant, whicH can be placed in
a jar; cover with damp cloth and
keep in cool place until two days
before Christmas, when it should be
made up into the various CONNECTIONS.

used in dipping, to become firm,

HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES
Many Young Men and Young Women
Pass Out of County Schools.

Last Friday was the closing day of
the public grammar And high schools
throughout Garrett county and as
such was generally observed by the
schools throughout the county with
special exercises, the graduates from
the grammar schools gathering at the
central points where they received
certificates emitting them to enter
any high school in the State, the total
number being 166, and their names
and the schools from which they grad
uated being contained in a report
printed in another column of The Re
publican today.
The graduates from the various
high schools, other than the Garrett
County High School in Oakland, were
as follows:
Friendsville-Grace Coddington, Iva
Gladys McClintock, Edwin McClintock,
Irene McClintock.
Accident-Grace Elizabeth Speich-

has made.
But what right have we who grad
uated from the greatest school of the
ages-that known as the universityofex-
perience-to butt in, anyway? This
season belongs to the class of 1921.
The young gentlemen and ladies who
stand today in all the pride and beau
ty and vigor of their youth, are hav-
ing their commencement and they are
entitled to the spot light and the CEN
ter of the stage. We do not envy
them, for we know the pathway ahead
is strewn with heartaches and bitter
dlsappointments. Friends who are now
seemingly true and who come to them
with hearty handclasp will in a few
years pass out of their lives, leaving a
void which can never be filed
But this is their day. The flowers
were never quite so beautifully the sun
never quite SO fair; the days never
quite so short, nor friends and class
mates quite so dear. 1t is one of
their big happy days. The next will
be the wedding day. The really glori-
Gus days are few; and some of us
never realize them at all until in the
scar and yellow leaf of our lives with
our own boys and girls gathered about
US we wake up to the fact that youth
is gone, but our delight then is to see
others of the household go forth and
get that enjoyment which we missed.
So, children, throw back your heads
and get the most out of your triumph
today. We all bow in homage to the
sweet girl graduate and admire the
boy who lays aside his books to wres-
tie with the grim and ver-menacing
problems of life. 1t is your day and
we rejoice that you are so happy. But
when you lay aside your books and
realize that you will never again re-
spond to the call of the old school
house bell, Just remember that you
will get more practical knowledge
after you leave the school room than
you ever found in all your books from
primer to botany. Truly this is but
the commencement.

TO SHOW FAMOUS STUDEBAKER
MOVIE.

Film Showing Manufacture of New
Light-Six in Newest and Most Mod
ern Automobile Factory in World
Will be Shown June 2Sth at Noun
tain Lake Park Amphitheatre-
to be Most Remarkable Industrial
Movie Ever PrOduced-ShOws Nest
Up-to-date Efficiency Methods.
What is declared to be the most re-
markable industrial film ever taken
will be exhibited at the Mountain Lake
Park Amphitheatre on Tuesday even
ing, June 2Sth. 1t shows the complete
manufacture of the Studebaker Light
Six in the newest and most modern
automobile plant in the world Ar
engagements to show this famous movie
have been made by the Oakland Hard
ware and Furniture Company the Stu
debaker distributor, from which con-
Germ tickets to view the picture can be
obtained free.
Although of an industrial nature,
this movie abounds in human interest.
with plenty of action and in some
cases real excitement. It shows the
making of Studebaker cars from the
raw material down to the finished car.
One of the unusual features of this
film is that special lighting and col.
orlng effects were used in many of the
scenes, making them realistic to a
striking degree. Veritable miracles are
performed by automatic and other Ill
tra-modern devices that do nearly ev-
erything but talk
A view of this movie is in some
ways more interesting and inspiring
than trip through an automobile
plant itself, because many details and
operations which escape the eye on
such journey are caught by the cam
era. An educational advantage of this
film is that it shows the manufacture
and assembly of each individual unit
in continuity. For instance, in the
making of the crankshaft, each step is
pictured from the forging operations
down to the complete machining of
this important unit. The same applies
to the camshaft, motor, body and other
parts.
The numerous inspections through
which each part passes to insure its
accuracy and quality are wildly pic
tured, and throughout the picture an
impressive feature is the speed and eff
ticiency with which, results are secur-
ed, a swell as the high type of men to
whom the various tasks are allotted.
All the operations shown are perform
ed in the Studebaker plant at South
Bend, where the New Light-Six is
manufactured complete.
In connection with TIE Studebaker
pictures there will also be shown three
reels Of agricultural pictures under
the auspices of the United States De-
partment of observation-disclosures
ment 1927.
