AS a big safety factor. effectiveness
of the four wheel bralling system
has been increased in direct proper

variation in their effectiveness.
Another important safety factor is
found in the front springs which
have been so designed that should

Greek motto, "Ouden agan," is the word.
 The Kobuk was stampeded along in ninety-eight, but they didn't make the diggings pay, much regret to state. Now they're finding hundred-dollar slugs which prosperous days may mean, though to date there seems to be excess of gravel in between.
 There is something of propriety in this "Kiana" name, and to the native Eskimo be the credit or the blame Kiana means "I thank you;" they are grateful, it may be, to their heather gods for all the game and fishes from the sea. So the town was named Kiana to honor Kobuk's belle, though the lady's genealogy is mighty hard to tell. She can shoot and trap and mush the dogs and giggle goo with glee-whiles the mighty Kobuk river ripples and rolls to the sea. Frozen fish she dips in seal oil with dainti- ness most rare; lieks her fingers clean from "ooksuk" or wipes them in her hair. You can hear Kiana coming; mission hymns the schoes swell; and the songs of Harry Lauder seem to serve her just as well.
 I've d cabin on the river bank, cabin built of. logs; little cache set up on, poles beyond the reach of dogs; and million dollar view of stream and mountain so sublime; which the chief assures me, stood for years and may stand for sometime.

 In another gathering a manfshout- ed, "Oh, you're5 not so much. Your dad used to peddle vegetables with 6 donkey and cart"

Christmas Spirit
By Martha Banning Thomas

- OF the green wreath hung on the
S7 knocker of the door. Not the
CLEAN Of silver tinsel dripping
from the Christmas tree. Not the pile of
packages heaped about-fat packages,
slim packages, packages fairly burst
ing with their own secrets. Not the
plump turkey and cranberry sauce
and pies steaming with fragrant, holi-
day odors. Not the blizzard of greet
ing cards coming by every mail. Not
the exciting ring of the postman who
has a special smile as he hands out
the letters.
Not tie happy voice Of the CAROL
singers who tramp through the snow
under the stars to bring bit Of
Christmas cheer to those shut away
from the usual festivities.
Not bulky stockings knobby with
gifts. Not the crunch and squeak of
footsteps on snow on frosty night.
Not these things alone make
Christmas. They all help. They add
the happy trimming, as 1t were. But
only as they take on the true spirit
of this holy time do they merge into
the power and the glory of the pre-
cious season.
Christmas. The interlude between
the old year and the new. The prom
ise of great things to come. The con-
summation of things that have gone.
The priceless moment when men may
reach up and be God-like In their pity
and understanding
The Star of Bethlehem Is symbol
gift-an opportunity for the justifi-
cation of the faith that is In US.
Let us be merry. Let us be gay.
Let us feel the last, full measure of
happiness at this happy time. But
let us also dedicate ourselves anew
to the highest possible expression of
Christmastide, tolerance, unselfishness,
liberality, peace and good will toward
men.

All this is possible, according to

an accurate record to which the "ordi-

"This is done as basis of deter

purpose"

LYNCHINGS INCREASE

Minneapolis s.-Twenty-seve lynch
ings, nine more than in the whole of
1925, occurred in the United States
up to November 10, 1926, the commit
tee on race relations reported to the
Federal Council of the Churches of
Christ in America.
"This," said the report, represents
the severest setback since 1922 in the
campaign to marshal churches
against lynching. The plea of the
churches for a lynchless land seems
farther from realization than any year
since that time"
