 As though time had stood still through the centuries, shepherds still watch their flocks on the sur- rounding hills. and the stars under which the angels sang of peace and goodwill blink eternallv down.
 This Christmas eve. there are thousands to re-enact rcverently the vigil of the humble shepherds. The two highways from Jerusalem carried an amending stream of pill. grims from all nations. Strange figures that might have emerged from the days of the crusaders mingled with modern tourists.
 swarthy OrientaIs on mules. black Ethiopians, Semetic featured Armenians and other strangely clad worshlppers, plodding on foot. made way for automobiles along the now-paved highways.
 The destination of all was the noble Church of the Nativity in the center of the town. bHlt over the sacred spot where tradition says the Son of God came into the world. The church, the only one not destroyed when Mohammed' 4 followers razed. the land of build ings bearing Christian symbol, stands in proud dignity amidst monasteries and convents.

 Washington, Dec 24 ---(UP)-- Beer bills and repeal of the 18th amendment were in the holiday doldrums today with scant prospect of action before the new year.
 "Beer by Christmas" has become a memory of the first lcxcited days after the November election when enthusiastic vets became overly optimistic The senate yesterday refused, 48 to 23. to begin imme- diate consideration of q 3.2 per cent beer Dill.
 Beer by spring is the best the vets now hope for, and that only in event President Hoover does not veto modification.
 Both house and senate were in adjournment today for q Christmas recess scheduled to expire Tuesday noon, the shortest Christmas recess in history. There was little pros- pect of much real work being done until after New Years. though Speaker Garner threatened he would send out warrants for absent house members on Tuesday if necessary to assure Q quorum.
 JHe Bendte VOtc yebteTuhy WhS not test of beer sentiment. IL was merely the occasion for drys to join with many vets in delaying the issue.
 Democrats have decided to steer the house beer bill through the judiciary and finance committees before tackling 1t on tho floor. That procedure will be followed now without serious question
 Senator Bingham, republican, Connecticut, who sought yesterday to force the issue, and some others believe the circuitous committee route prescribed for the beer will prevent consideration at this ses- sion. Drys secretly are organizing to obstruct the bill all along the route. But leaders Of both parties promise vote this winter.

J., to face the charge of non-support, was ordered to post | bond of $500 this morning to pay his wife $10 week for the period of six months.
