HERE'S a NEW YEARS RESOLUTION

Bible reading is looked upon by some people as some
thing only for theological students, ministers and Sunday
school teachers. The Bible is naturally associated with re-
ligion. 1t is read by some for inspiration and help, by others
for comfort and encouragement, while others read it for its
beauty of language and charm of expression. Look on it as
one may, it must be generally recognized that Bible read
ing is a good habit to form. And there is not time like the
first of the year to resolve to make Bible reading a daily
event in ones life.
But resolving to do a thing and actually carrying out
has made a New Years resolution knows. In order to make
it easy to keep this resolution the Evening News has resolved
TO publish at least one verse of the Bible every day. 1t would
be better, of course, to take a Bible and read a whole chapter
or an entire book and thereby get the full beauty of it all, but
a single verse is better than nothing.
In a recent address in Philadelphia William Lyon
Phelps, professor of English literature at Yale, made this
good suggestion:
"Make it your New Years resolution to read the Bible
regularly for it contains every form Of Observation-Disclosures,
narrative, description and drama. Do not feel afraid of it.
Il is the Worlds greatest book.
abraham Lincoln, now considered one of the greatest
men of all times, read two books, the Bible and Shakespeare.
You will spend hours of your life alone and if you read the
Bible your mind will be like a beautifully furnished house
and you will be happy"
The Evening News will do its part in publishing at
least one verse from the Bible daily. A benediction for the
new year will be found at the top Of this column today. Form
the habit of reading these verses as they appear and see
what the result will be by the end of tn year.

THE DARK DAY
BY DR.. w. L. BARTON

Notice was given recently to the
falling stars on Nov. 15, 1888, and
of the significance attached to the
event by many who witnessed it.
An even more notable celestial
phenomenon which no one now liv-
ing can remember was remembered
with awe for a full generation after
It occurred, has found it's permanent
place in literature.
This vas the Dark Day"-May
10, 1880.
The darkness began at 10 A. NJ.
and continued until the middle of
the next night. 1t was during the
Revolutionary War, and the extent
of the observation "a sufficient to
be apparent throughout New Eng
land, but with difference of degree
and duration in different places. 2
The darkness was not total, but
it was sufficient to send the fowls
to roost, and to strike terror to SUI
perstitious minds.
Professor Samuel Williams of
Harvard described the event in the
first volume of the Memoirs of the
American Academy of Arts and Sci
ences," published in Boston in 1855,
He said:
The appearance and effects were
such as tended to make the prospect

although the Hungarian capital
is best known as Budapest, the
Pesth quarter of the city is by far
the most important and Old Buda is
only a small section across the Dam
ube, on the right bank. The castle
is also situated on the same side of
the river and from the palace
grounds one has a fine bird's-eye
view of the handsome city, with the
fine Gothic Parliament Building to
the left of st. Stephens church,
whose dome matches in height the
dome of the Parliament Building,
the most prominent feature in the
close-packed city beyond the busy
Danube.
"The people of Budapest love
pleasure and for miles along the
river there are bathing places where
young and old mass on the sands or
paddle about in graceful canoes
Across from Pesth rise rounded hills
dotted with small villages and sum-
mer villas from which one has love-
ly views of the teeming city the
wide plain and the winding river.
"Reactionary as much of the IN
timent of Budapest is, it has an I'M
usual number of monuments to
Hungary's revolutionary and liberal
leaders and many of the streets
have been named after those whose
fame came through fighting oppres-
sion.
Roaming the broad plains of
Hungary one could often see pic
turesque shepherds, carrying long
slaves and clad in shaggy sheep

HASKIN EXPI AIMS THE PARROT VOGUE

plains, has two main causes. Both

As for the pet stores, they do not
attempt to analyze the public's sud-
den dcmand for parrots; they are
too busy selling them. According to
a woman dealer, whose store is in
the West Seventies here, it is i'm
possible to import the birds fast

HUNGARY: LAND OF sHEpH ERDs AND MEN ABOUT TOWN

The spectacular failure of Charles
to re-establish himself and the
House OF Hapsburgs on the Hungar-
ian throne brings into sharp relief
two divergent groups in present day
Hungary, according to Maynard
owen Williams, a representative of
the National Geographic Society,
who recently visited Hungary dur
ing a trans-European and Asiatic
tour made especially to study new
countries and collect picture mate
rial for the society.
The bulletin issued from the
Washington, d. c., headquarters of
the National Geographic \ Society
summarizes communications from
Mr.. Williams as follows:
Hungary encloses the largest
plain in Europe and although there
is some marshy land and barren ter
ritory within the confines of the new
kingdom, which has survived the di-
plomatic machinery of Neuilly, Ad-
miral Horthy has under his regency
one of the richest and most produce
tive agricultural areas in Europe.
"A year ago, during the economic
boycott which closed the Austro-
Hungarian frontier, the geographic

was especially accumulated. In Vi
emma, food was scarce and dear.
Well dressed people were living on
utterly inadequate food and even the
foreigner whose buying power was
vastly increased by the exchange
rate, could not secure milk or sugar
in his tea nor butter for his bread.
Women Forced to Simple Fashion.
! Although Budapest Is only a
days run down the Danube, con-
| ditions there we're reversed. White
bread could be bought throughout
the city at reasonable rates. Vege-
tables, fruits n meats were cheap.
But Of manufactured articles there
was a great dearth. The Budapest
women, who have a taste and skill
in dress which surpasses that of
Parisierfnes, were forced to wear the
plainest of white cotton dresses,
though these detracted little from
their fresh type of dark beauty.
r'Since the war, Budapest has
been the tail which has wagged the
Hungarian dog. The peasants have
been little interested in the politics

gime had smooth sailing while

tuberculosis is by no means a
new disease. 1t was known in earl
lest history. Its origin is understood
thoroughly and yet the advancement
of medical science has not brought
a specific, therapeutic cure.
Instead, the disease has increased
with the progress of civilization.
Creature comforts and artificial aids
of civilization have given tuberculo-
sis more chance to work. 1t is al
most a house or indoor infection,
rarely or lever caught out of doors.
We know that this disease can be
prevented. The great work of the
national and local anti-tuberculosis
societies, which are even now wag-
ing a battle with the little Christmas
seals as their weapons, has taught
us that the disease a be arrested
and in many cases cured by fresh
air, cleanliness, rest, wholesome
food and a determination to get
well.
