Being only a Workingman, In
time when the artisan had to stand
aside for even the common Roman
soldier, Joseph found himself at a
sore disadvantage when the town
was reached. The habit OF subordl-
nation was ingrained in his nature.
He was used to giving way before
grandees of all grades. That was,
and still is, the way of the Orient.
So, when Joseph and Mary found
the homes of their distant klnsfolk
croWded-and we may be sure that
there was many compassionate
womanly word of sympathy spoken
for the young Nazareth girl in her
sore plight-they we're easily re-
buffed from the khan, or inn. Every
room had long since been taken by
persons who had a right to consid-
Grafton.
Had Joseph been a somebody, in
stead of a common carpenter, he
would have been accorded room,
even though a sojourner OF lesser
estate be turned out. On Christmas
Day, some years ago. was in Sew
rex, midway between the Mediter-
ranean and the Tigris. and my mill
tary escort had borne ahead Of me,
to the local governor, letter from
the Sublime Porte. Therefore, the
governor insisted that the best quar-
ters the town possessed were for
me; and he would have turned out
the occupants of the finest room in
the new khan. If I had allowed it.
Joseph and Mary bore no official
letters; they were only common
people; so with few words. they were
informed that there was no room
for them in the inn.
To understand the Christmas
story at all, one must get some
proper conception of that inn. We
in America think of inns in terms of
city hotels, and Of stables as sepa-
rate buildings. Neither type applied
to Bethlehem. There the inn, or
khan, was series of rooms about a
courtyard, with only one common
entrance to all Built on a hillside
1t followed the usual custom of dig
ging into the limestone for the inner
rooms of one side, which were thus
really caves.
These innermost apartments, or
caves, were used for the horses and
donkeys. The sheep, which Christ
mas art loves to depict, were not
there, nor yet were the COWS or
camels. The sheep were out on the
hillsideS; the noisy, bad-mannered
camels rested in the courtyard, with
their loads beside them. But the
riding animals were led through one
of the living apartments. back to
the stables, where, commonly, the
drivers and horsemen shared their
quarters. On the cold December
nights-for however pleasant the
day, the winter nights are cold in
Syria-the warmth of the horses
made this apartment far from un-
desirable.
The hardship of lodging with the
animals in the inn has been eXag-
gerated. The plain people of the
East have always lived close to their
dumb animals. Life is simple with
them; and while Joseph probably
owned no animals, he had doubtless
often slept side by side with the pa
tient donkey or the faithful horse.
Therefore he hailed it as privilege
to be coveted when, denied lodging
in one Of the guest rooms of the
khan, he won, by the universal spirit
OF comradesnip among the working
people, the privilege of sharing the
cave stable of the animals and their
servants.
None too soon was this haven Sc
cured. For quickly the word passed

spread their tale.
Art and theology have conspired
to rob the world of the reality of
this Christmas Child. Men accentu-
ate His difference from others: God
stresses His likeness to all mankind
Theologians talk about the divinity
OF Jesus, God bent all His power to
exalting The humanity of Jesus. If
Christmas means anything at all. it
means the perfect human embodi-
ment Of the Deity. Whatever shuts
the Infant in the manger off from
mankind is apart from the purpose
OF the incarnation.
The marvel and meaning of this
day OF days-this day. which with
It's message is subduing the whole
world to new sense of the divinity
and brotherliness of man-is that
highest Heaven has given of its best

rather has been embodied in the
person OF the Son, who came tn
earth, born in fellowship with the
humblest, to exalt all our living; to
glorlfy the cradle, to magnify moth
erhood, to stand with the toiler; to
teach men mercy to the brute crea-
ton; to break the old barriers which
set men over men and men against

THREE INJURED IN AUTO CRASH Car Skids on Ice=Coated Highway Hits Passing
 Machine

The icy condition of the highway was blamed for an accident in which three persons were injured early last night. The crash occurred on the Waterbury-New Haven road.
 Mrs. Daniel Healey, 8, of 12 Coe street, suffered back injury and was admitted to St. Mary's hospital. Thomas Moore, 75, of 16 Coe street, was treated at St. Mary's hospital for rib and facial injuries, Mrs. Catherine Ryan of Co Lamberto l street, New Haven suffered shoul- der injury and was taken to New Haven doctors office for treatment.
 State Policeman Henry Mayo re- ported that Mrs. Healey and Moore were passengers in car driven by William Bagley, 38, of Bond street. Mrs. Ryan was riding with her hus- band, James, 52.
 The Waterbury car skidded on l icy patch of roadway and struck the other vehicle. No arrest was made. Sergeant Charles McWeeney and Motor Patrolman John Mcdonnell went to the scene, when first re- ports said the accident was inside the Waterbury limits.
 Two drivers were arrested over the week end in Waterbury on charges of operating while under the in- fluence of liquor. The arrested were William Gunsalus, 51, of Oakville avenue, Oakv.lle and Clarence Han son, 29, of 352 South Main street. Gunscalus was arrested on Freight street, while Hanson was arrested after an accident on South Elm street.

CACHET SOUVENIR
 IS BEING ISSUED
Adoption of Fundamental Orders of Connecticut
 to Be COn1memOrated

Commemorating the 300th anni- varsary, January IA, of the adoption of the Fundamental Orders of Con- necticut, a souvenir in the form of a cachet is being offered by the Suffield Academy Stamp club, Suf- cid, Conn.
 The eleven Fundamental Orders, the first written constitution in America, were drawn up after the Rev. Thomac Hooker, leader in 1886 in settling the Connecticut Valley, preached a famous sermon, May 3l, 1638, advocating democratic prin- ciples as the basis of government in the new settlements of Connecti- cut. Roger Ludlow was chiefly re- sponsible for the forming of the Or ders, which ill effect, made Connec- ticut republic. They remained in force for 8 years until 1862, when they were replaced by charter granted granted by Charles II, unit ing the Connecticut and New Haven colonies. It was this charter which, in 1887, was spirited away and hid den in the famous Charter Oak" when James II sought to unite all New England under Edmund An- droS.
 Stamped envelopes, with the ad- dress placed well to the right, plus one cent per envelope for forwarding expense, should be sent to reach Sufifeld by January 12. For six cents, the sponsor will affix the Connec- ticut Tercentanary Charter Oak" stamp of 1895 to Self-addressed velopes, provided requests are re- ceived before January 12.
 The cachetr-a rubber-stamp lm- pression-will then be placed on the envelopes and the envelopes sent to Hartford, Windsor and Wethersfield, three towns united under the Orders, to secure the postmark of January IA. All envelopes received will be postmarked Hartford, unless a pen cil notation indicates one of the other towns postmark is desired.
 That interest in this historic event is nationwide and not confined to Connecticut or Massachusetts from which colony must early settlers of Connecticut came, is reflected in the arrival of requests for the cachet from all parts of the country.
 By coincidence, the year 1889 is also the 150th anniversary year of the inauguration at New York. of George Washington, as first presi- dent of the United States, under our constitution. The new federal sys- tenn thus established owed much to its Connecticut predecessor of 8 century and a half earlier.
 In a time when democracy is everywhere on guard, it is fitting that recognition be given to these two milestones along the road to constitutional democratic govern ment.

STRAND

Three of the screens most bril- liant personalities, music you will never forget, thrills and romance in the greatest musical triumph in screen history, 'The Great Waltz" will entertain theatergoers attend ing the Warner Bros. Strand thea ter today and tomorrow.
 Once seen this picture will never be forgotten. An elaborate cast topped by Luise Rainer, twice Aca- demy winner; Fernand Graver, bril- liant star from France; and Miliza Korjus who is credited with the greatest coloratura voice in the world today, bring this great drama of the life of Johanna Strauss, vienna,s waltz king, to the screen.
 Lavish costumes, hundreds of peo- pie, great settings, replicas of old Vienna and glamorous Albertina Rasch pallets lend glamor to the musical drama. A 90 piece sym- phony orchestra accompanies the beautiful Viennese singer, Miliza Korjus, in opera and other musical sequences.
 Not only the physical Vienna of the period but its spirit are caught in the romantic story of Strauss's life and loves. The story deals with the composer from the time he lost his position as a bank clerk and turned to music, to his final honors in the Emperors court. His mar
