being taken by ballyhooerS who ad-

who introduced Christianity into
China.
Missionaries feel that Feng's recent
journey To Moscow had d more serious
effect than the mere procuring of sup
plies and ammunition. They declare
that the entire behavior and policy
of his troops have been altered. Rus
sian agents who returned with Feng
from Moscow are reported to be lead

among Feng's church-going troops.
Feng Yu-HSiang switching to an
antiChristian attitude would be "a dis

When Feng deserted his troops in
time of greatest stress, going to Mos

to justify his actions. Shanghai mis-
sionaries at that time held I, mass
meeting in a foreign theater, inviting
Chinese and foreigners to pray for
Feng.
Feng's changed attitude is likely to
be a great contributing cause toward
retaining the flames Of anti-Christian-

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Sunday, December IL.

Tomorrow should be fairly fortu-
nate day, according to astroiogy. for
Mercury. Mars, Jupiter and Saturn
are all in benefic aspect Under this
rule writing is supposed to be well di-
rected, but it is well to avoid any
letters regarding stock speculation,
which is likely to be. unfortunate.
Writers of every sort should benefit
tomorrow when the stars are sup
posed to be especially helpful. Fame
for new authors is presaged.
Advertising comes under a sway
that is most promising. and it is to
become more and more of a science,
the seers predict.
Construction work of every sort ap-
pears to be. well directed tomorrow,
when it appears that there will be a
tremendous demand for builders. ow-
ing to some sort of disaster.
Storms and earthquakes continue
to be forecast, and it is probable that
the Winter win be exceedingly Sc
we're.
There is sign indicating activity
for philanthropic and charitable or
ganizations. A great need of more
hospitals appears to be foreshadowed.
Jupiter smiles on all leaders of
thought and action. By this sign the
clergy should benefit tomorrow.
1t has been prognosticated that
many young men would turn to the
ministry, and the seers predict that
the scale of remuneration from the
churches will be raised.
Astrologers foretell a revulsion from
extremes of fashion and for women
more extensive costuming.
Surprise is to be conspicuous
element in public affairs, for the un.
expected is to happen.
Many wedding are indicated from
now until the end of January. and OF
these many will prove fortunate, if
the signs are rightly interpreted.
Persons whose birth date it is may
have great changes in the coming
year. Good proba bly, will come through
letters of the columns of newspapers.
Children born on that day prob
ably will be fond of roaming over the
world. These subjects of Sagittarius
are usually idealists who meet with
remarkable adventures and much dis
illusionment.

ing there would be no tracks to be
seen anywhere around Buster Bears
Winter home. Then Peter would have
that secret all to himself and it
would be something to brag about
At least. he thought he would have It
all to himself So as the snow came
sitting down, Peter hurried to get to
IA certain sheltered place that he
knew Of. far away from Buster
Bears bedroom. There he squatted
until the storm was over. When he
finally ventured to look out there
wasn't a track to be seen anywhere.
Then Peter set forth to tell every
one he met that he had seen Buster
Bear make his bed and knew just
where Buster Bear was spending the
Winter. No one else knows
boasted Peter. mo one else knows,
for no one else was about when BUS
ter went to bed"
POOH said Sammy Jay. II guess
the rest of us can find out where Bus
ter Bear is if we want to. There are
not SO many places that Buster can
hide but that we can find them. He
probably is in his usual cave over in
the lodges where he has slept before.
"No sir"' cried Peter. "EIe isn't
there"
Then" declared Sammy. he's

Bear and the twins were one Winter"

That was all Sammy could get from
Peter. but of course Sammy's curios-
ity was Immediately aroused. He went
about through the Green Forest tell
ing everybody that Buster Bear had

he had a biand-new bedroom. He
said this in way that led everybody
to think that he knew where that new
bedroom was, which, OF course. he
didn't. Right away all the other lit
tie people began to hunt for that bed
room. None of them likes to think
that any one else knows something
| that he doesn't.
Now this was just what Sammy Jay
! wanted. He felt sure that sooner or
| later some one would stumble on it.
and that if he kept his eyes and ears
| open he would find out where that
new home was. Sammy is very
| clever fellow; he is smart enough to
make use of other people.

morning. 1t happened one morning

choose black. for two reasons: first.
that II shows every speck of dust and
dirt: and, second, with it must go
such careful treatment of colors in
every element of the furnishings that
skilled interior decorator is re-
quired to get correct balance of col
or and pleasing results.
Color Valuable.
!. There is something restful about a
plain floor covering, but, while decid-
edly good in itself, it is necessary to
accent color in other elements of the
decoration. If this is not done, rooms
are cold and lack atmosphere.
With everything in good taste, never
thelesS, there is nothing actually in
vitin. about the rooms until color is
introduced. This same thing is true
when the plain color is chosen in a
rug. The most attractive of the plain
rugs have deeper tones for borders.
''Safe" Treatment.
1t is said that plain walls bespeall
lack OF courage on the part Of inte-
rior decorators, who know there is
safety in the one-toned effects. This
same idea holds when the plain eff
fects are chosen for floors. They are
''safe" as well as restful. 1t is when
color is introduced that expert judg-
ment in schemes, in color combina-
tions and blends is necessarily. A
motley effect is disturbing and chaos
in colors is inartistic.
Estllefic Treatment.
But between these undesirable quail
tiles, there remains that elusive and
fascinating charm OF the esthetic
into which color creeps with mys-
tical beauty. These intriguing and
inspiring elements can be captured in
time-worn Oriental rugs rather than
In modern rugs. In selecting the for
mer be sure. that rugs 70 be used to-
gether harmonic in shades and do
rot consider matching colors or de-
signs. In choosing the latter en-
deavor to get the color effects and
the designs of Oriental rugs. In do
nlestic rugs duplicates are used eff
fectively: in fact. it Is better to choose
duplicates and not mix styles. But
whether the rugs are antiques or
modern. remember that they are
backgrounds, plain oil decorative.
