Unintentional on the part of the Empire near riot was caused i'll the otherwise quiet and peaceful homes of Assistant Seoutmasters Redlingshafer and Whittier last night when the Juneau Scouts dis covered in the evening paper that firearms, fountain pens, playing cards, books, food, candy, toys, dogs and other pets could be taken to camp. Telephones rang with joy as the Scouts called up their Scout masters to express their appreeia- ton of this concession from the na- tional camp rules, and a long list of the names ohfayefite. dogs and cats were presented.
 Their joy was short lived, how over, as the Scouts were informed that the article should have read that the above equipmnet was "ta- booed.'
 "Firearms are not allowed in Scout camps said Scoutmaster Redling- shafer today, unless there is an official rifle range and Scouts arc taking rifle tests for Merit Badges. We have no range this year and consequently firearms must not be taken" MT. Redlingshafer stated lthat the other articles prohibited were not necessary as plenty of good food will be taken to the camp, and every Scout conserves his food so that there will be none left for dogs and other pets. The outdoor program of the Scouts also furnishes sufficient entertainment to fill in all wakeful hours, according to Mr. Redlingshafer.

Dear santa; Bring; US--

We see once more the vision OF
Bethlehem--that homely manger III
which there came to us the baby Jesus
with wonderous eyes illumined by the
soul of God. IT'S Christmas time
another Christmas, with others yet
to come and pass into eternlty-and
still with all the years there thunders
down the ages the message of the
Saviour, "Peace on Earth, Good Wlll
to Man. The message: now remem-
bered, now forgotten for the moment,
but growing in power and strength
with each succeeding generation. 1t
is the inevitable, it is The Word, the
avalanche Of truth before which all
obstacles must resolve themselves into
their original elements to be merged
into the current of divinity that
sweeps ever onward for the salvation
Of mankind.
How better would be our weak hu-
manity were we able to read Alright
that word which came to US IN all It's
fullness. We ponder on that infant
Child, we see the growth to manhood,
we try to sense the underlying and
determined standards into Whose
image we are destined to shape our
selves.
We resolve and then again more
properly to reflect His great slmphc-
ity, His unconquerablc courage ana
force. Here was determination III ac-
ton, here was kindly sympathy IN
full expression, but here too was
bravery and an uncompromlslng war
fare on all that was hollow and
mockery. We fain would sense it, but
we weakly fail
Have we today one who lashes the
money changers from tire temple, or
do we rather compromise with con-
science for the cash? Do we lay up
our treasures immortal or seek to hide
them in the safe deposit vault? +? do we
act in superficials and only think IN
fundamentals
What is this Charity that is left to
rs heritagc-surely but guideapost
pointing down the lane of Justice
which once travelled leaves the sign
post far behind unneeded IN the fur
ther march? All, Christmas time has
little meaning if We cannot garner
from it more than sentimental yearn-
ING Of the hour.
1t is the season Of the child OF
course-the time for happy hearts
the strange enchanting moment tina;
thrilled us in the years gone by IN
the land Of toys and the mystery OF
our Santa Claus.
But it is our season, too, even today.
Ave, think in the scar and yellow lea1

decorative shapes two to five inches
long and Of suitable width. AT one
end cut small opening through which
a tissue paper ribbon or colored cord

the bottom, various shaped trlangles,
Christmas bells, or stars, make good
foundation shapes. Cut two shapes
alike and cut out the insides OF eacb

the edges. A few fourth-inch lines
forming a pretty pattern, may be left
inside as loaded lines. Paste bright

Of shapes. Cut ribbon of tissue

of tissue paper back ON itself to form

SLIPPERY BATHTUB RICK,
SAY INSURANCE MEN

From the New York Tribune.
Are your highly polished floors dan
gerous? Does the slippery surface of
your bathtub constitute a hazard?
Accident insurance agencies answer
Yes" 10 both questions.
Although claims of this nature in
no wise monopolize statistical columns
devoted to classifcations, yet their
are declared to be suffi
ciently frequent to have passed be-
yond the freak" stage, writes the
Baltimore Sun.
slippery floors prove bette noirs in
the best regulated families" one su-
perintendent said, land II Is only nat
ural and correct TO assume that a
number of this kind OF falls result
against insurance companies
"They form a considerable item IN
the general category of falls" which
probably necessitate the payment of
more money than any other cause OF
disability. Failing out OF bed also is
a popular cause for claim, and, OF
course, there are the general run OF
falls down steps, on slippery side
walks and many other classifica-
tons
Another superintendent disclosed
that falls In bathtubs are not the
most unusual form of claim and cited
the instance of claim handled by
his office where the victim not only
had sustained injuries to his head
when 1t struck the side of the tub.
but also had suffered a broken arm
in trying to check his descent.
