Council of Presbyerians which called attention to the evils
of criminal violence in this country the lack of sanctty

an effort to check murder
Perhaps Mr. Bryan has shaped the greatest prob

section of the country Bandits the sparsey settled
sections Of the nation and have made districts of large
cities dangerous both night and day Murderers freed
by juries sentmenalists succeed in curling heavy

people have accept the almost daily reports of hor

Police agencies have not proved sufficient to curb the
rising tide of violence. Laws not enforced severely
might be expected

he slides it.
Naturally the flow of asphalt is mostly in warm weather
when the pavement Is softened by the suns heat.
Take an easwest street. Traffic is heavier faster
total in direction than the other Suppose this traffic
exerts its greatest shove westward The asphalt moves
that direction Heavy trucks eastbound reverse the flow
This the only plausible theory the engineers so far have
figured out.

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
THE TOYMAkER'S SHOP
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Back to Chimney Land flew John
ny Sweep and the Twins with Snitch-
er Snatch, the goblin, sitting on the
front Of Johnny's broom where they
could watch him.
The Christmas notes were safe at
last-safc in Santa Claus mail box
where his helpers could find them
and take them all the rest of the way
to the North Pole.
"Tra-la-la-le-lum!" sang Johnny
Sweep happily. "Now everything is
lovely. The notes all delivered, the
stockings all darned, and everything
ready for Christmas. except few
chimneys haven't had time to
sweep out yet. And that won't take
long because I can make my old
broom fly like everything when /

All this time Snitcher Snatch was

And when they came TO an extra
tall chimney sticking straight up in
to the air, he let go Johnny Sweeps
broom, and dived head first into it's
black depths. The black depths of
the chimney, ! mean.
"Quick!" cried Johnny Sweep,
jumping off after him. "Come on,
children! There is no time to be
lost. Well have to catch him."
"Why?" asked Nick, wondering
what all the fuss was about. "Why
don't you let him 60, Johnny? He
can't stop the notes now. Santa
Claus has them by this time"
"Oh, no! So he has," declared
Johnny Sweep. "And that's all the
more reason why we should stop this
rascal of a goblin. Do you know
what place this isl"
The Twins looked around, but all
they could see was wide flat roof

THE CHRISTMAS BELLS
: (FlQrence BOrner)


I heard the bells on Christmas morn,
Proclaim once more: The Lord is born!"
And, as they rang there came to me,
A scene of the Nativity; a.
/ saw the Son the Father gave, ~
Within "a lowly manger laid,
While angel choir struck golden Tyre, -...4,-5
And grandest sweetest music made.
I saw the bright and shining Star,
Guide on the Wise Men from afar,
To where the little Saviour lay,
Upon that first glad Christmas Day:
I saw the humble shepherds look,
AS each held tightly fast by his crook,
To see a King where ne'er a King
Had lain in legend tale or book
I saw then in bbesiance sweet,
Bow down in worship at the feet,
OF Mary miki who pressed her child,
The closer to her she smiled;
And as gaZed, thought: Ah me,
That I worshiper might be-
But doubt within and pride without,
Descend and shut the picture out
How far from heaven Mankind has straycd,
Since first those bells their music played,
The Bethlehem Star still shines affair,
But prize and greed our prospects mar;
We struggle on thru depths OF night,
And take the wrong paths for the right,
We live and think in earthly terms,
While LIES faint flame more dimly burns.
All, happy Bells, could you but bring,
TO U.S. those things for which you ring:
nobler creed, wiser plan.
And love for every fertowman; ,..tS..
Then. over all the sea and earth,
Would ring such happiness and mirth, ..s
That Man would shout in one ate6fd, styef
