Birthday Cake.

For a child's birthday cake place
a frosted cake on a large platter.
Arrange around it procession Of
animal cakes on small waters with
icing to make them stand upright.
The effect Is very striking, especial
ly to the circus-loving small boy.
To make an inexpensive cake deco
ration, first ice the cake in the usual
way. Pop some corn and choose the
prettiest flower-shaped ones, and with
little brush tint them with pink
fruit coloring. Place as desired
around the edges OF the cake. and
at intervals put tiny candy leaves.
Tiny green jelly beans will answer.
The effect is very pretty.

We hear so much of the feminist
movement, woman's emancipation, the
efficiency Of woman in business and
their replacement Of men that l am
tempted to ask you what Is the appli
cation of Timothy 11.12. But
suffer not a woman to teach nor
usurp authority over the man."
| What have you got to say?
Ahswer-The writer of these words
lived in a society dominated by the
masculine element. Woman then had
few IL any rights which man needed
to respect. The fer7nent of the
Christian religion worked very rapid
ly at that time in the great cities
of the GrecO-Roman empire. One OF
it's results was a new sense Of free
dom in believing women. especially
at Corinth. the most cosmopolitan
center of the empire.
The leaders of the Corinthfar
Church had to proceed cautiously ir
applying st. Paul's revolutionizine
principle that 'In Christ there is nc
male or female" because of the la1
views about womans honor which
then prevailed among Jews and Gen
tiles alike.
For q side light on the passage yor
quote read what the New Testament
SAYS about such women as the Virgin
Mary and Mary Magdalene, also Of
the work of Priscilla, Mary, Try
phaena, Tryphosa and Persis, all OF
whom were prominently identified
with the infant church in Rome. Il
Priscilla could teach even the elo
quent Apollos what the Divine Way
really was. surely this shows tha
she successfully def1ed the rule yol

No Political Clauses
 In ItalO-German Pact

Berlin Dec. % (F) - The newly drawn Italian-German treaty of conciliation and arbitration sched- uled for signature today, contains no political clauses and conforms strictly with the spirit of the league of nations with which it will be registered shortly, a spokesman for the German foreign office said to- | day.
 The treaty provides for arbitra tion and the amicable adjustment of virtually all classes of disputes which may arise between Germany and Italy and follows closely the pattern for such treaties already negotiated by Germany with eight nations including Switzerland, the Netherlands. Denmark and various Baltic states.
 It differs from pre-war treaties in that it combines both arbitra- tion and amicable adjustment fca- lures, thereby embracing juridical and non-juridical cases under dis pute.

GOVT. ADAMANT IN
 NICARAGUA STAND
Insists No Aid Is Intended for
 DiaZ Faction

Washington, Dec. 29 R-Havine answered critics of it's policy with regard to Nicaragua, officials of the Washington government today were awaiting with interest official ac- counts of the latest happenings ir the civil imbroglio in the little Gen. tral American country.
 They were content, for the time being at least. to rest the admins. tration's position on the White House procurement reiterating that the landing of the American naval forces on Nicaraguan soil merely was for the protection of the American lives and property and not to strengthen the hand of President Diaz, as has been charged in several Latin-A quarters. Diaz has been recognized by the United liberal opponent, is looked upon as Nicaragua's constitutional head by Mexico.
 One of the latest protests against the presence of American naval forces in Nicaragua to be received by the state department was presented by T. S. Naca Sacasa's Washington representative, and contended that the occupation of Puerto Cabezas, capital of the liberal forces by American bluejackets was ''entirely unnecessary" and that Sacasa had been practically "imprisoned".
 Whether this communication will be answered by the state department is doubtful, inasmuch as the United States has entered into no diplo- matic relations with Sacasa. The White House spokesman. in his definition of this governments s policy. however. denied specifically that American forces had interfered with the liberal leader or members of his cabinet, and said his advices were that Sacasa had been given a house for his own use by the Braggman's Bluff Lumber company, an American hardwood concern in the Puerto Cabezas district.
 Both the navy and state depart ments also have denied charges that Rear Admiral Latimer, American naval commander in Nicaraguan
