down to the present. Yet withal
a fascinating story of genius and
enterprise. How it has become a
marvellous piece of engineering ca
pable of carrying a load ten
times its own weight, able to cover
all kinds of surfaces with little
mishap at remarkable speed. De-
veloped by mass production from
the rich mans toy to the, poor
mans necessity. A machine for
sport, for pleasure, for widespread
utility-the small boys friend, yet
a valuable adjunct to army maneu-
vering. It's uses are manifold; it's
users cross section of humanity.
1t would seem to have reached
the limit of its development. But
1 wouldn't be too sure. 1 wouldn't

scientific genius had added wings

to compete with the aeroplanes and

Today Great Britain makes $780,

America with more automobiles
than any country Zone for each
six of population) still produces
annually $4,000 bicycles.
In the last two or three years a
number of cities have begun to Ii
cense bicycle riders-not especially
for revenue; the fee of 25 or so
cents just about pays the cost of
registration. The real reason was
to stop the wholesale stealing of
the machine and therein is dis
closed an interesting sidelight on
the morals of young people and
how this phase of governmental SUI
pervision has tended to correct
certain evil aspects of youthful
marauders.
According to Russell S. Acker-
man, superintendent of the Mime
apOlis Department of Licenses,
Weights and Measures, last year
so per cent less bicycles were stolen
than the year before and so per
cent more of these were recovered
than of the previous year.
Said Mr.. Alderman, Before we
began to license bicycles, young
boys could steal some ones bike,
ride it in the street and no one
questioned him-sOOn he became
embOldened and stole a new ma
chine. From that he would go on
to syphOn gas from an auto, then
to stealing autos and so a criminal
was made. Now we have nearly
stopped that-saving both cars and
boys. In the first nine months of
this experiment we have licensed
10000 machines and believe there
are still 5000 more here that have
not as yet been reached"
These figures would indicate that
the bicycle, far from being a thing
of the past, is rapidly becoming
worthy rival of its more costly
brother-the automobile.

Dads Birthday Party
Raises Note Problem,

nEAR Mrs. Post: Will you please
- write a form of invitation for
us under the following circum-
stances? / am one of four children,
only one of us married, who want
to give a party in honor of my ia
theirs birthday, although suppose
it would be better not to mention
the occasion. We would like to write
the invitations by hand on small
sized note paper stamped with our
house address. While we are ask
ing at least IS people we want the
invitation to sound as friendly and
informal as possible.
Answer: I would suggest that each
one Of you write notes to your own
personal friends, and that whoever
has most time and perhaps neatest
handwriting also write those to your
fathers friends and relatives, fol-
lowing this general wording:
MARY, Jim, Bob and I are having
a party for father, on Sunday AFTER
noon, January 31st. Won't you come
in between four and six o'c1ock?"
AS you notice, have left the birth
day out, but this does not mean
that ] think it improper to write,
"Mary, Jim, Bob and I are having
birthday party for father
because those who know him very
we'll and know it is his birthday will
probably bring him a present, and
this might make others who are
very fond Of him and would have
liked to remember his birthday feel
that they have come empty handed.
On the other hand, in going to a
birthday party Of any size no one
should feel obliged to take pres
ent.

or deplore their inability to realize
that they'd be easier on the eye if
they'd quit trying to emulate the
raw oyster-which never has been
pretty to look upon and, generally
speaking, is an acquired taste any
how.
For a gentleman who ordinarily
bundles himself in heavy garments

warm weather strip-act entails a lot
Of preliminary torture. At first our
gallant exhibitionist resembles

red blot on the landscape, with fat
water blisters spangling his brow

the next stage he peels like the wall

The Reaping Season.

sit-downs, walk-outs, shut-ups, lock-
outs and picket lines?
It makes me think Of the little
story the late Myra Kelly used to
tell of the time when she was pub
lie school teacher on New York's
East Side. She was questioning her
class Of primary-grade pupils,
touching on the callings of their re-
spective parents. She came to one
tiny sad-eyed little girl, shabby and
thin and shy.

your father work."

Are Parents Obligated
for Children's Visits?

n EAR Mrs. Post: What is my p0.
~ sition regarding the parents of
friends of my daughter? She is at
college far away and goes home
frequently with the girls whose
homes are closer to the school. She
sometimes mentions in her letters
home that these girls parents are
going to New York on holiday,
and as we live in the environs of
New York I'm wondering whether it
is expected that we extend some
kind of hospitality to the parents at
such times.
Answer: Your real obligation is in
encouraging her to invite these girls
home with her when they have
longer recesses or perhaps to let
her ask them to come between
school terms when they can stay
longer. But why don't you ask her
whether she wants you to show par
ticular hospitality to the parents she
knows especially well, and what she
suggests. She knows what type of
people they are and whether they
have friends in New York, or on
the other hand, whether they are
going as strangers or whether the
mothers are likely to be alone while
their husbands attend to business,
or Just what the individual situa-
lions are.

amongst the chief essentials
indeed the elementary basis, as it
were-of the whole subject of by
giene, is the fact that there are
among people great many differ

knowledged by all doctors and
gymnasts. The majority of them,
however, write about hygenic
treatment as though they were
dealing with a single individual,
and accordingly they give no proof
OF any single individual having
been helped by them. They ought,
however, to have pointed out not
merely one but a great many indl-
viduals who, constantly i'll before,
had been eventually kept by them
for many years free from disease.

this by actual results; people who
have before been constantly i'll l
keep free from disease by persuad-

say, exercise by occupations-as I

cises, so as to reduce the whole to
the smallest limits; some only to
change the kind of exercises, or the
order, or the time; some to alter
their entire plan. Similarly, give
advice about bathing-either not to
battle at all, or more than before
or less, and only before meals, or
also after meals; or with colder or
warmer water than usual. Thus !

BORDER BRIEFS

Christmas for Borders members
and friends was truly an occasion
for joy and Thanksgiving. With
the aid of some of our staunch
friends and members, the day
marked a milestone in our develop
ment toward newer and greater
Border. It was possible through
these channels to provide not one
but several gifts for each child
that his Christmas might be
made more joyous. With the vision
of our new church plant dominant
in the mind of each, the members
served the many children happily
in the handicapped quarters of the
parsonage. Looking backward to
1886, we have many blessings for
which to be thankful. Looking for
ward to the New Year much good
is in store for us as we all work
toward the realization of our
dream.
Rev. and Mrs. D. P. Young wish
to take this opportunity to thank
each and everyone for their tokens
Of esteem and appreciation. To the
members of the church for their
cash purse, to the Epworth League,
to the many friends for each in
dividual gift, they wish to express
their heartfelt appreciation and
boundless joy for each remem-
brance.
