Housewives have wondered why

Perhaps the coloring and design on

THREE ATOMS IN MOLECULE
Division Of Water, Small In Itself, 10
Made Up Of sui Smaller
PartIcIsA

When a great scientist named Sir
William Thomson was asked about the
size of molecule, he replied: IT a
drop Of water were magniffed to the
size Of the earth, the molecules would
each occupy spaces greater than those
filed by small shot and smaller than
those occupied by cricket balls" And
yet molecules are made up OF even
smaller particles, called atoms. An
atom is the smallest division Of any
thing known.
A molecule of water Is made up Of
three atoms. Evaporation of water
consists Of the movement of these
atoms in such way az to make the
liquid water change into a gas. Freez-
ing a water into ice Is caused by maxi
ing the molecules, and in turn, the
atoms, stick to each other. 1t takes
a great deal Of power to separate the
molecules in water, and for this rea-
son wdter was long regarded as some
thing which could not be divided; or
in other words, basic element, such
as the oxygen Of the air.

BURNING THE
YULE LOG

THE name given by the ancient
l. Goths and Saxons to the festival
of the winter solstice was Jul, or
Yule. The latter term is still re-
served by the Scotch.
The burning of the Yule log, known
by other names in continental Europe,
was an ancient Christmas ceremony
descending from the Scandinavians.
who at their feast of Jul used to
kindle huge bonfres in honor of their
god Thor Similar bonfires were KIN

summer solstice.
The English ceremony of bringing
In and burning the Iule log on Christ
mas eve, which still has its local sur
viyals. was full of picturesque detail.
The log was IL massive piece of Wood
frequently the rugged and grotesquel>
marked root of an oak.
It was drawn in triumph from it

as it passed. On its entrance into
the baronial halls, the Ministries hailed
it with song and music, or In the alb

The Legend of
Christmas
70. 1922. Western Newspaper Union.)

HEY say that on that first,
strange Christmas Night,
So dazzling was the radiance of
the Light,
That sun and moon and stars leaped
in the sky,
And danced in ecstasy.
The silly sheep fled, scampering in
dismay,
Yet stayed their foolish fleeing, so
they say,
7 o kneel in alteration and in prayer.
And peace was everywhere.
The crooked stump stood straight,
the legend tells,
And held forth leafy arms; and tiny
bells,
Wee, starry blossoms, genmed the liv-
ing green.
No withered thing was seen.
The lion and the lamb watched side
by side,
Sharing the wonders of that Christ
mastide,
The air was rich with perfume, sweet
with song.
he cock crowed all night long.
And every Christmas Eve, so runs the
tale,
In field and forest, mountain-top and
vale,
The blessed fairies guard, that over
No evil may befall.
They say that angels hover all the
night,
Close to the listening earth; and
when the light
OF Christmas morning heralds the
glad Day,
They fold their wings and pray.
You never saw these wonders? No,
Only the pure and childlike may des
cry
The tiny fairies fitting in the grass,
And speak them a. they pass.
Guiltless of guile. from greed and en-
Obi very like the Christ Child must
you be,
To hear blessed angel when hs
sings,
Or feel the brush of wings.

Times.

ssVX7ITH Christmas theTh comes TO
w every detached ma.a strange,

insistent urge to fulfill the promise TO
realize the purpose for which he is
born, to become the head of a house,
a home, family" writes Anna Steese
Richardson in McCall's. HE feels
gripping desire to stand first IN some
ones life.
He may be able to withstand the
lure Of a lovely face, as close TO his
as the modern dance demands. He
may steel his heart, pulse and purse
to a provocative face above a one
piece bathing suit. But when the cor
ner grocer banks his sidewalk with
trees when the florist ties crimson
ribbon on cracking holly; when happy,
wide-awake children overflow toy
shops, even a confirmed bachelor
wants a woman of his own, a wife.
And in this hour of weakened de-
lenses lies the manageable womans
great opportunity.
by the term marriageable woman
I mean any woman between sixteen
and sixty.
Just as Easter week and the first
fortnight of June bring long lines to
license clerks and marrying parsons,
so do certain dates represent what we
might call the open season for bagging
husbands
christmas is one Of them.
Now some women, especially those
past thirty, are going to pause right
! here, in state of virtuous horror.
| mo nice woman stalks a man, and
there can be no happiness in marriage
unless the man, and not the woman,
| has been the pursuer!
Theoretically, the above statements
are sound. Practically they are relics
I of the Victorian age. The shame OF
| pursuing man lies not in the OBJ
| ject but in the methods used. For
! man wants to be pursued and landed
by painless and invisible methods. He
wants to marry. He recognizes that
certain privileges and dignities can be
| acquired through marriage only. These
| include running lawn-mower over his
own grass, telling some outwafd1y
meek woman that If he run his BUSH
ness as she runs her house they'd
starve to death, and repeating to his
suffering clerks the latest clever say
