CALLS FOR AID

"As a commonwealth grows, its
duties in charitable and philanthropic
work enlarge and due to that very
fact Arizona now has a need for
greater work than ever before in
taking care of her orphans and other
unfortunate children, declared Fl. d
Middleton, state superintendent OF
the Arizona Children,s Home located
at Tucson. Superintendent Middleton
was in Douglas yesterday on a busi-
ness mission for the home.
This is a peculiarly appropriate
time in the year for us to- turn
attention to charitable work and to
all effort that means better condi-
ticns in our state and, therefore,
improved standards of citizenship"
said Middleton. ''For that reason.

eagerly the children had heard of the
awe of the simple shepherds when the
shining gates opened and past the
white and silver cloud billows came
the angelic choir singing "Glory to
God in the Highest and on earth
peace to men of good will" and John
Davis entered the church with the
great crowd, his soul filled with the
peace that passeth understanding.

sionary every Christmas morning. How

most see the open heavens and hear

ways in this town? He comes a few
days before the holidays and goes out

The Star of Bethlehem
lBy LUCY a. WHITE

John Davis was \ young man of
coed family, reared in the atmosphere
OF religious home. He had ALWAYS
been influenced for good and sheltered
from the con animation of evil com
panions, so he grew up to think all
people he met were good and hon
est
But change came into his life;
the happy home WAS invaded by death
and he was left alone So he went out
into the world to take his place with
the vast army Of workers. The pre-
cepts lhe gentle mother instilled into
his young mind were there, but the
companions he met did those things
that he had been warned against.
They drank, played cards for money,
smoked cigAretts and swore. r"s
Ills conscience warned him, against
them but in their general company
his scruples were overcome. The boys
would laugh, at him when he went to
church on Sunday ard would tell him
they would rather rest on Sunday
morning. Time enough to go to
church when we grow Old" With the
example Of such young men before
him it was not long before he, too
looked at things religious from their
viewpoint.
1t was so e.sy to stay away from
church and seek amusement on the
sacred day.
AS the holidays approached the
friends began to plan in what manner
they would celebrate Christmas eve.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-12-18

After much deliberation they decided
to attend public dance, as this
seemed to furnish the most hilarious
excitement. John knew it would be a
poor preparation for the great feast
day and his better nature exerIed it
self and almost reused him to refuse
to attend. But the recently formed
habit proved too strong to be easily
broken. So he went with the crowd.
Returning from the dance early
Christmas morning, John parted from
his noisy companions and started to
make his way to the boarding house,
through the deep snow. The setting
moon silvered the ground and roofs
and by contrast deepened the quiet
shadows.
Presently the oppressive silence was
broken by voices and groups of people
issued from nearby houses and side
streets. All went in the same direc-
ton. All at once chimes rang out on
the frosty air. Then he knew what
that summons meant The music of
the bells touched his heart and the
grace of repentance entered it, His
spiritual blindness was removed and
he saw himself casting aside the pearl
OF religion for the empty musk of
transient pleasure. "This is Christmas
morning" he said aloud and looking
up he saw the morning star. He
thought of other Christmas m orns
when, with his mother and sisters, he
went to early mass OF how the gentle
mother told the old, old story ever
new, as they walked along-hoW the
Bethlehem hills were bathed in mys-
tic light and the great star cast its
long, bright rays over the TIA Bile

for care for four times that number

admit only the mcst urgent cases.
We find homes for them as rapidly
as that can be done, There arc
some exceptionally bright girls and
boys who would make a splendid
addition to most any family circle,
who are open for adoption when the
right type of families apply for them.
But 1t there is no one wanting to
take the step of adopting child.
there no doubt are many who would
be glad to help this cause and to
all such their checks sent to the
Arizona Children's Home at Tucson
will be gladly received and can
assure them their money will aid
in a wonderful work.

ELECTRIFIED RAILROADS
OF NEW TYPE FORECAST
Bliss Sees Engines of 9O-Mile Speed
with Cars Carrying Own
Generators.

Electrified railroads, with trains ca
pable of travelling at 90 miles an hour
and cars that carry DieSel-engined
electric generators instead of deriving
power from overhead cables or third
rails" were declared to be Just be-
fore us" by l.. d. Bliss, president of
the Bliss Electrical School, who ad-
dressed the Rotary Club luncheon at
the Willard Hotel yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Bliss reviewed the engineering
developments of the past so years, in
Guiding the invention of radio, the
telephone. the submarine, moving pic
lures, the X-ray and electric lights,
and declared that progress in the cleo
trical field was the chief means by
which the advancement was obtained.
The speaker paid tribute to Thomas
Edison as the greatest figure in cleo
trical engineering in the world.
Many of the modern materials used
in the manufacture of radio instru-
ments, jewelry and all sorts of cleo
triCal apparatus, which are themselves
composed of such crude materials as
skinned milk and combinations of
formaldehyde and carbolic acid, We're
infinitely described by Mr.. Bliss, who
concluded that through recent inven-
tons there can be no end of develop
ment in engineering.
K. ID. Givan of the University of
Delaware sang several solos as the
entertainment feature of the luncheon,
which was presided over by j. Harry
Cunningham, president Of the club.

HOLDS MOLLER'S
INTENTIONS GOOD
Bell in Reception Address De-
tends Official, but
Scores Methods.

Confidence in the good intentions
of Col. l. c. Moller, assistant trafh oil
rector, who was suspended for alleged
irregularities in connection with the
negotiation and execution of contract
for traffic lights. was expressed in an
address by Engineer Commissioner J.
Franklin Bell last night. The occa.
sion was a reception given in honor OF
the three District Commissioners by
the Piney Branch Citizens Associa-
ton in Hamlne NJ. l.. Church, at
which Commissioners Tallaferro ana
DCughefty also spoke.
While indicating that Col. Moller had
proceeded in a manner that could not
be tolerated in governmental opera
ton. Col. Bell said he believed the
former wanted to get the best traffic
lights possible. The Commissioners
praised the general honesty of the
District government, pointing out that
the investigation of District affairs by
the subcommittee of the House Dis
trict committee during the past two
years failed to show any great wrong
doing. This. he indicated, is good
proof of the honesty of the local gov
eminent. In this connection he

honesty. with everybody having been
invited to tell anything they knew.
Speaks of Departure.
Although expressing a willingness
to continue as Engineer Commissioner,
Col. Bell referring indirectly to his
transfer under Army orders in a few
months time, stated that in thinking
of his position, now that his destina-
ton has been partly determined. he is
reminded of a statement of a first
classman at West Point. The latter,
Col. Bell said. remarked that he would
not have missed having been 'plebe"
for $4,000. but would not be one again
for $4,000. Col. Bell praised the other
Commissioners now in office.
Commissioner Dougherty, in brief
address, praised the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission as an
organization whose Influence will be
felt in surrounding territory in years
to come" He also praised Col. Bells
work as Engineer Commissioner and
expressed regret that he is not to
continue in the latter capacity.
Commissioners Praised.
Commissioner Taliaferro said he
would refrain from making an address,
because as baby member of the Board
of COMMISSIONERS he felt the people
were more interested in what he was
going to do in his new office than in
what he might say.
Shelton Il. Cameron, member of the
association, delivered an address in
which he praised all of the Commits
sioners, and told, briefly, of conditions
in the District SIS years ago when he
became a resident of the Capital City.
The speakers were introduced by
Edgar b. Henderson, president of the
association, who had general charge
of the program.
Several vocal selections were rem.
dered by the Federal Male Quartet,
composed of Ii. NJ Brown, r. B.
Wooden, w. II. Whiteside and j. P.
Kelly. Several vocal duets were rem.
dered by Miss Elizabeth Ellis and H.
M. Brown. Refreshments were served.
