That not being enough to maintain a

to such an extent that she, hired four

Astronomer Issues
Warning to Europe

Hamburg, Germany.-Solemn warn
ing to the European governments has
been issued here by the Able Moveoux
that great danger confronts them in
1925, 1925. 1927 and 1928, with its cul-
mination in the latter year.
The Able Moveoux, who is we'll
known as an astronomer, is the direc-
tor of the Bourges observatory. He
holds that sunspots are responsible for
periodical madness of mankind. The
able predicted the disaster which Wis
tied the world from 1914 to 1918, so
that Europeans seem inclined to listen
to the aged scientist.
He has studied the snapshots since
1860, and says he has confirmed his
opinion that every time the magnetic
forms, popularity referred to as sun
spots, are raging on-the surface of the
sun. wars and madness prevail on
earth,
The able claims that he has pre-
dicted every important earthquake
during the last % years. He says cos
mic influences clearly have their ef-
feet on the subconscious minds of men
and are responsible for "brainstorms
of nations" as well as earthquakes
and climatic Irregularities.
During the absence Of sunspots, ac-
cording to the able, world peace and
prosperity prevail and men make i'm
portant inventions and discoveries and
creations of art.

they are called "noels," in Wales, Ire
land and Italy and in many other
countries. In Italy, at the season Of
Advent, the Calabrian shepherds troop
down from their hills and chant their
unusual mountain songs in the cities.
The word "carol" is derived from
""contare," meaning to sing and "rola,"
an interjection Of joy; therefore it is
not a musical form peculiarly belong
ing to, Christmas, although it is usual
ly associated with this season. One of
the most ancient, If not the very, Oldest
carol Of a religious nature Is the ex-
quisite, "While Shepherds Watched
Their Flocks by Night" 1t was writ
ten bw Nahum Tate, England's poet
laureate in 1892.
Quaint old English carols that are
still sung are: "God Rest You, Merry
Gentlemen" "Good King Wencesles"
and ''The Holly and IVY" These were
sung by the waits who went from
house to house in the old days. A
whole book could be made interesting
by recounting the customs of the an
cient carol singers Of the different
lands.
In connection with the Christmas
candle which has been used as beau

ancient days to the present 1t is inter-

those wandering. mysterious vaga-
bonds Of unknown origin and self-con-.

a burning candle that was set at GER

mother and child across the darkness
Of a desert land. This legend is to be
found somewhere in an old book-per-
haps it was recounted by George Bor-
row-but the writer of these lines has
been unable to locate it again.

centuries spirit Of revelry has marked
the tide of Yule. The observance of
an annual season of merrymaking
dates back even farther than the ad-
vent of Christianity. 1t is said that
ong ere the birth of the Babe of
Bethlehem the ancient pagans cele-
fbrated a yearly feast near the winter
sOlstice. Romans called this the Satur-
MALTA. 1t was marked with much wine
drinking. dancing and eating.
In the ancient countries of the
North huge fires were kindled and as
their leaping flames shot skyward hu-
man beings were sacrificed upon the
altars to Thor and Oden. The Goths
and Saxons called this the festival Of
Yule.
The Teutons selected huge tree
which they raised amid much chanting
and shouting, in honor OF the god of

So we know that the Christmas cele-

religious significance. But with Chris
tianity's dawn the many old customs
that remained were given religious
symbolism. There are a number Of
our present-day customs that are pic

their great antiquity.
When we tramp into the winter
