 So on this last Christmas the young soldier sent to his humble friend a check for one thousand dollars.
 The man, who could not read. simply knew it was check, He went to the bank to cash 1t. The clerk began 10 pilo up and count bank notes, The customer thought the clerk had forgotten all about him and was balancing up his cash drawer.
 "Hey you." said the workman "when you get through playing with those piles of bank notes, maybe you will cash my check and let me go."
 But I am cashing your check, monsieur" said the clerk. 'lJere's your money"
 And the workmar. pop.cy9d With amazement, carted lwly mora .hpa 10000 francs.
 III LohupH WHcn New itdT Eve was more widely celebrated than at any time since before the war, the universal piece that was played and sung everywhere was:
 Tt ain't gonna rain no moh,"
 And the deadly irony of 1t was that for three weeks 1t had been steadily raining. that on New Years Eve Ii blew gales and that the little Thames had broken loose and flood cd its quiet valleys.

 The Red army scored 1251 points, the Blues 1910 and the Whites 67l. The Red army had 147 men present, the Blue 124 and the White S1. A delegation of men representing the state Y. NJ. c.

KING OF BEASTS?
 SURE, ITS A DUCK
Has It on the Lion, Premier
 HerriDt Declares
By MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Writer.

London, Jan. 19.-The scene is the sick room of Premier Herriott of France. He is propped up in a chair with his sick leg swathed in pillows. His caller is no less a person than President Doumergue. Suddenly the premier pops a aues- ton:
 (Which do you consider the king of beasts?" .
 "The lion, of course" said Dou- mergue, "by reason of Its course, it's power it's mconquerable spirit" "Old stuff" said the premier drily. You got that out of Aesop. I vote for the duck. It walks little, runs a little, flies a little, swims a little, sings a little. And-properly cooked -pleases the palate more than It, tie. Where is your lion now?" The German pcdagogues, who have charge of the public schools of Berlin. have decided to make boxing lessons for boys optional In oll The schools.
 In some few it's already cnmpul- sory as part of the ordinary gylnna- sium training, out ir is held that this cannot be universal because of the defective sight of many boys who have to wear glasses.
 Many of the teachers arc ttrong for boxing lessons, because they feel it will inculcate the sporting spirit in the boys.
 It will make them more manly be- cause it will teach them to receive as well as give punishment.
 And, finally. 1t will train them 10 do quick thinking. This lart Is deemed specially valuable to Ger mans in a world that is still sore at them.
 A belated but very pretty Christ mas story comes from the little French town of Periguex.
 During the war some American soldiers were billeted there for a time. One of them, wealthy young man serving as privata, had his temporary lodgings in the house of a humble worker.
 They gave him the best they had and were cheerful bout [. They made him feel at home. They strove 10 teach him French. They did a hundred things to demonstrate how glad they were that the Yanks had

Through The Static

WGN at Chicago presents a Sun day night feature which Is well worth listening to. Each week the musical director out there tells tho story of the life of some one of tho great composers, also playing some of the greatest compositions on the piano, Last evening Franz Liszt was discussed, "The Fifth Hungarian Rapsody." one of Liszt's best known compositions, was played. The talk was interesting, to say the least The talk on Liszt will be continued next Sunday evening.
 
 The Palmer School orchestra held forth at woe. Davenport. Iowa, last evening, and 10 good advantage. AS result of the installation of a new transmittcr at that station, signals come in loud and clear. Last night selections by the well known Ameri- can composer, Victor Herbert, were rendered, coming through in a sat lsfactory manner.
 
 WQAM at Miami. presented q dance orchestra. The latest hits, some of them new 10 us, came through clearly, with no fading to mar the reception. Only once or twice did the announcer call atten- ton to the fact that Miami is for tunate in possessing the best climate and the best facilities for everything in the world.
 Atmospheric conditions were good last night. Static was negligible and fading bothered only slightly. Code proved somewhat of nuisance at times.
 We heard the William Penn hotel orchestra from WCAE at Pittsburgh last night, This orchestra played some of the better known classical selectione. Among them "A-hunting We Will Co.," rendered in an excel lent manner with the stringed in- struments prominent. A violin or a cello always sounds we'll over the radio.
 Roxy and his gang were as good as usual through WEAF and asso- ciate stations last night.
 Saturday night we missed WTAMs S regular Saturday evening feature. That station couldn't be found any where, even on WEARS wave length. although W tried several times 10 get lt.
 The Roseiand dance orchestra Frightened up the latter part of yes terday afternoon. rendering a con- cert through WHN, New York. The program began at o'clock and at 5:SO o'clock the Olcott Vail quintet took up the burdens of transmission, holding forth until o'clock. Both groups, although vastly different, proved interesting enough to hold us to that station. The only trouble with the Roseland transmission is that the announcer stands about two blocks from the miCrophone and several trip hammers are pounding away at the same time.
