A scrap of news from the
rlamorous isles of the eastern
seas-the isles and the seas
which Joseph Conrad touched
with so much glowing color, so
much arresting drama. There
is a hint that the Rajah Of
Sarawak, independent monarch
of a large slice of Borneo, is to
pay his first visit to the United
States, and no more interest
ing visitor could be welcomed.
The news revives the tale of
the most romantic exploit in
century. For the Rajah is
white man, a scholarly Eng
lishman, who preserves in his
royal palace in Borneo the
formalities of a Mayfair draw
ing-room.
It was back in the 1910,
when British younger sons were
carving an empire in the Far
East, that pirates and head
hunters tormented the Sultan
of Borneo. BY the luck that
dogs the foot steps of men
upon whom destiny sets her
seal, Sir James Brooke was
cruising in his private, armed
yacht in the Malaysian seas,
He put yacht and guns at the
Sultan's service, routed the sea
robbers and dispersed the wild
men.
Royal Rank
The grateful Sultan decided
to him the whole northwestern
part of the Island of Borneo,
$4,000 square miles and with
present population of 100000.
It sells $35, 100000 worth of
products a year, so you can
see that it is a pretty rich
piece of real estate. The Sui
tan gave it to Sir James
Brooke, and with it royal rank,
creating him Rajah Brooke.
The Rajah of Sarawak is on
the same footing in the Brit
ish Empire as the princes of
India. He yields only to the
British Crown.
Automobiles, telephones and
tramcars have come to Sara
wax, but bullock-drawn cars
with solid wheels still lumber
through the streets. Rajah
Brooke sits down in Bond
Street evening clothes to dine
with brown, Malay princelings
in gorgeous striped silks and
blazing diamonds.
Not even in the glamorous
pages of Joseph Conrad is there
such romance and high adven-
ture as sparkle in this tale of

Useless Property
Clouded BY Government


The plight property the Southwest section Of the
city whose real estate holdings have become virtual liabilities
because of failure of the Federal Government to carry out the
original construction program Of Congress deserves something
than sympathy.
About years ago Congress indicated that the property
involved large the Capitol would be taken by
the Federal and used in the big pro-
gram which then being pushed energetcally.
Since that time economic conditions have changed and the
building program has become dormant although there is def
mite indication that eventually will have to be resumed and
carried out largely Congress originally planned
In the meantime the property which contemplated
would be used but which has not been purchased by the Gov
remains the hands of the original and is
virtually useless
The naturally feel that to attempt improvements
would be futile because the Government may step in any
and buy.
It is impossible to mortgages to have mortgages
placed on property which is not now encumbered
Renting and leasing of the property is at standstl
In these circumstances the owners deserve substantial
deation and they properly look to the Federal Govern
ment to out in the immediate future the program which
has clouded their property.

that some should be so happy,
some so sad, on Christ's birth
day!
Gazing out into the troubled
darkness j thought of that man
of all those millions of deS-
perate men and women who
have waited so vainly for
goodwill" to come, since first
the angel promised it above
Judea's hills!
When has there ever been
peace for them? Or "joy for
ALL the people?" Was it only a
will O. the wisp - that star?
Only a muddled dream-that
song?
Listening to the storm, I
wondered-doubted.
But even as 1 listened the
wind died slowly, then ceased.
To the North, to the South,
the skies cleared. The hills
rose black about the sleeping
town. How still it was! A long
held hush, as though the earth
were waiting. And then-the
last cloud parted.
Low in the East there blazed
one great, white star.
A while it hung there, strong
against the night. Then, like
wings beating, came a surge of
light. A bird called. Others
answered. The sky rang with
song
Smoke rose. An old cart
clattered. Along blue streets
the orange windows glowed.
The night had gone-the Christ
mas morning came.
And suddenly I saw
Saw the thing I had doubted
Saw that Christmas morning
was more than a date or a
dream: that it was a promise
come true at last!
1t is coming-it has come
the thing God promised when
His son was born!
GOODWILL TO ALL,
AND PEACE ON EARTH,
AND GLORY SHARED!
It is coming-it is here at
last-that Hope of Brother
hood! Not bursting forth as
a miracle. Not heralded with
heavenly wonders. But born
again as humbly as it first was
born-within the simple cradle
of each human heart.
They WILL have their chance
at last, those forgotten ones, the
weary, the weak and the poor.
They shall have peace, not be-
cause an angel has promised it,
but because at last we, their
brothers, have grown tall enough
to wish it!
It has dawned in us-that
star!
1t has started in us-that
song!
The night is breaking.
The storm has cleared.
It's morning; Chris tmas

Isn't it true that when you
are entertaining those whose
financial standing is higher
than yours, you are too lavish
in your expenditures?
You do this more to create
an impression than to give a
good time.
You insist upon paying bills
that are not rightfully yours

known to be too large for your

Instead of creating an atmoS-

you make your guests uneasy

WHEN WASHINGTON
 REFUSED TO BE KING

Few Americans are aware that our country today might be a monarchy but for an act of nobility on the part of George Washington on May p, 1782. The officers of the Revolutionary Army had inn plored Washington to assume royal power, place himself at their head, and rule the count ry as king. On May 22, a century and a half ago, Gener- al Washington refused in patri- )tic terms so strong that the idea was dropped. This inter- esting information comes from the United States George Washington Bicentennial Com- mission.
 This dramatic incident in our history occurred while General Washington and the Continent al Army were encamped at Newburgh, on the Hudson. The surrender of Cornwallis had virtually ended the Revo- lution, but nominally hostilities were still in effect, and Wash ington was determined to hold the army together against any surprise renewal of the war. AS usual, his soldiers were poorly clothed and fed, and Congress was deeply in arrears in their pay. By then the war had dragged on for seven long years. The struggle had cost many of Washington's officers

 Fifty returned graduates crowded joyously into the spacious old draw ing room the next day and those who could not find seats sat on cushions on the floor. A tall distinguished man of thirty odd sat at one side of the room in shabby old rocking chair. A while with brief, terse responses he told them of the railroads he had helped to build in South America. They had not even known that he was in charge of the gigantic undertaking of which they had heard so much. Stella edging up to Cynthia as they brought in the plates of cookies and sandwiches whispered with awe: Its Rocking Chair. Isn't he stunning and so distinguished
 Rocking Chair fingered after the others had gone. As he took Cynthia's hand in his there was the old wistful look in his clear gray eyes.
 "It seems like old times," he said You are very like your mother"
 It was an eventful reunion in many ways. For somehow as result of it Stella, who had let so many chances of matrimony slip in her youth, actual ly persuaded Piggy Brown into think ing that it was he who had proposed. And q week after their marriage Gym thia and Rocking Chair were married in the stately old drawing room.

 Discomfort rose to dangerous intensity in all ranks. At length Colonel Lewis Nicola, a re- spected character on friendly terms with the Commander in Chief, spoke for the officers as a body when he addressed to Washington a yelled propos- al that he take over the gov ernment of the country, with the army behind him, and rule it as a king.
 Washington declined Nicol- as offer and rebuked the man who made it. Writing on May 22, 1782, he said:
 "Sir,-With a mixture of great surprise and astonish- ment, I have read with attent- ion the sentiments you have submitted to my perusal. Be assured, Sir, no occurrence in the course of the war has giv- en me more painful sensations, than your information of there being such ideas existing in the army, as you have expressed, and I must view with abhor- renee and reprehend with se- verlty. -.
 'I am at a loss to conceive what part of my conduct could have given encouragement to an address, which to me seems big with the greatest mischiefs that can befall my Country. If I am not deceived in the know ledge of myself you could not have found person to whom your schemes are more dis agreeable. . Let me con- jure you, then, if you have any regard for your country, con- cern for yourself or posterity, or respect for me, to banish these thoughts from your mind, and never communicate, as from yourself or any one else, a sentiment of the like nature"
