Warning has been sounded to alb
sentee members of the Headquarters
Detachment, Special Troops, Goth Di-
vision, that unless they attend drills
there will be court-martials. with a
term in the District Jail looming. The
warning says:
During the month of October there
were IL men who did not attend drills.
Avoidable absence from drill is a ser-
GUS offense. The headquarters is
loath to resort to drastic measures in
compelling drill attendance, but un-
less inveterate absentees begin at once
to attend drills regularly they will be
brought to trial by court-martial dur
ing the month of December. Those
men who find it impossible to attend
drills are urged to communicate with
headquarters to explain the cause Of
their absences. If their absence is
justified, these men will then be for
mally excused from drill attendance,
otherwise trial and entence by a
court-martial.
perhaps some Of the absentees do
not realize the full significance of this
procedure. The following case will
serve as an Illustration:

LONDON N.-Humming birds wings

endeavoring to photograph humming
birds in action as an aid in perfecting

unsuccessful.
Humming birds hover in front Of
flowers, slipping the nectar while sta.
lionary in the air. and this is :he Sc.
ret which the government officials
nave been trying to record on the

One film was taken at the rate Of
700 exposures every second. but the

A faster camera apparatus, to take

A WAYSIDE SERMON
CHRIST VS.. SANTA.

During the past few weeks
men and women have been fran
tically rushing around to get re-
membranes for this friend and
that relative and for the chill
dren of their friends and fol-
their relatives children, and for
their own children, and nine
chances in ten they have never
stopped to give a thought as to
why they are presenting gifts at
this time of the year.
Is it because the custom of
giving is as old as the ancients
and must be kept up? or is it be-
cause the legend of Santa Claus
must be upheld? Both are rea-
sons, no doubt, and very worthy
ones at that.
The Republican condemns
neither the custom of giving nor
the legend of Santa Claus.
But does everyone know the
reason of gift giving on Christ
mas Day? Probably the major
ity realize that Christmas is Gel
ebrated because the Christ Child
was born on that day in Bethle-
hem; and because the Christ
Child said it was better to give
than to receive, and because the
giving of gifts was an establish
ed custom, Christmas and gifts
have always been associated to-
gether.
Do not, then, The Republican
suggests, let the ide aof Santa
Claus overshadow too much the
real meaning of Christmas so
that ones children will grow up
with the idea that December rs
is merely a time when one ex-
changes gifts with another and
that Santa Claus is only legend
told to all little boys and girls.
Instill within the growing boy
and girl the relation of Santa
Claus and gift giving to Christ,
and keep alive the real reason
for the celebration of Christmas.
In the end Christ will reign
above Santa Claus in the minds
of all, which will be no detriment
whatever to old Saint Nicholas
and his reindeers.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
WIN OVER THEIR RIVALS
Mountain Lake Park Compels
Team To Go Extra Period.

The Lutherans won from Mountain
Lake Park and the Catholics were vic
torious in taking the second game of
the season from the Presbyterians in
last weeks games of the Church Bas-
ketball League, which were played on
Thursday night at MAYORS Hall in
Oakland.
The Lutherans had to extend them
selves to win from their Mountain
Lake Park opponents, five minute
extra period being necessary to break
the tie which was scored at the end of
the game. The final score was 14-12.
The Catholics had things pretty
much their own way during the first
half agains the Presbyterians, but
McComas and his assistants came thru
in the last half to make the game
close and exciting. Catholics finally
won, 22-1S.
No games are scheduled for this
week, due to the Christmas rush, but
on Friday, December 80, the Luther
ans will meet the local high school,
and Mountain Lake Park will play the
Presbyterians. Games will begin
promptly at 1880, the manager stated,
and it is hoped that large number
of fans will turn out.
