the battle Of Alamein, Montgomery
collected his whole stan from Sec

two hours explained what was going
to happen during the course of the
battle. Then he visited every corps
and repeated the whole story again
to every onicer from lieutenant
upwards. Then he gave the order
that the story was to be passed
throughout the whole of his army.
So when the battle began every
private soldier knew the complete

messenger from heaven, and to start
on the long journey.
Kepler's theory satisfied pretty
well until 1926, when Professor Ideler
Of Berlin pointed out that at no time
are the three planets in absolute con-
junction SO that they would appear
as single star, even to the naked
eye.
Another piece Of evidence tending
to cast doubt on the Kepler theory
was brought in by the geographers.
They showed that there were no
roads or trails through the mountain
GUS regions that the wise men had
to traverse on which they could keep
the planets in sight for any length
Of time. So this attractive explana-
ton gradually faded out. It will not
be until early in the 25th century,
however, that scientists can test the
full possibilities of Kepler's conjec-
ture. It is not entirely ruled out
until this time comes.
Perhaps a Comet.
In the last century came new

r. A. Proctor propounded the theory

WAS IT A COMET?-The0ry that

that the mystic sign was really
comet. These celestial travellers of
space, flaring up suddenly, moving
across the sky often for days or
weeks, and then disappearing, al
ways impressed the ancients as
mighty portents.
There are a few flaws in this the
ory, too, as several historians quick
ly declared. First, comet was a
fearful thing to all peoples Of an
tiquity, harbinger Of evil to come,
warning of retribution for sin.
The Magi, being learned in astrolo-
gy, would know this, Of course, and
would not likely consider comet
an announcement of the Saviour's
arrival. It is possible that these wise
men did not follow the prevailing
superstition. They might have called
some comet his star 1t is object
ed, however, that any comet bright
enough to attract the wise mems at
tention would be noted down in some
secular history-Jo sephus, in partic-
ular. There is no such confirma-
tory account.
The Nova Theory.
Lately, plausible and poetic the
DRY has been presented. The Star
of Bethlehem may have been a
''nova" or suddenly blazing star. For
brief time a nova may outshine
every star in the sky. The most
brilliant on record fiared up in 1872.
Another was observed by the afore-
mentioned Kepler, and by Calico, in
1904. Novae that can be seen by
the human eye are rare. It is only
since photography has been applied
to astronomy that much is known
about them. What causes the fam
ing phenomenon is not known, but
possibly it is occasioned by the col
lision Of two dead stars. The inn
pact iberates the fiery interiors Of
the two bodies, and the seething
gases swirl and shoot in a glorious
display of light. The nova may burn
for some time, but eventually it
cools and fades, and generally dis

Complaint Of Socrates
Appears Quite Up-to-Date

Here is complaint about ETH
quette that should interest every
parent:
'The children now love luxury,
they have bad manners, contempt
for authority, they show disrespect
for elders, and love chatter in
place of exercise. Children are
now tyrants, not the servants of
their households. They no longer
rise when elders enter the room.
They contradict their parents,
chatter before company, gobble up
dainties at the table, cross their
legs, and tyrannize over their
teachers"
The Greek philosopher Socrates
registered the complaint over
1000 years ago. We parents might
as well resign ourselves.

i cords the appearance Of this

ner. Few laymen ever thought Of
questioning the reality Of that star,
although nothing like it ever was
known before or after the momen-
tous event. But astronomers, being
exact scientists, have tried to recon-
Gle the evangelist's words with the
known facts on the nature and mo
lions of heavenly bodies. The other
three Gospels, by the way, do not
mention the star.
In the 18th century, Johann KEEP
Ter, one of the greatest Of the early
astronomers, while calculating the
orbits of the planets Jupiter, Saturn
and Mars, extended his figures back
to the time of Christ. He discovered
that these three planets were in con-
junction in the year B. c., accord
ing to the calendar. Making al
lowance for the well known error
in dating the year Of Christ's birth,
it was possible to call the year
of our era as actually the year in
which Christ was born. Now if, as
Kepler calculated, the three planets
were very close together in that
year, they would form a brilliant
glow in the sky, during the month
Of December. So, Kepler reasoned,
the conjunction of these planets was
the Star Of Bethlehem.
In Sign Of Pisces.
This conjunction appears in the
sign Of Pisces, or the Fishes, every

had a special meaning to the Jews,

NEW YORK-The young folks
have moved back into the parlor,
busted off grandmother's chess,
dominoes and checkers and become
game conscious again. It's part of
the general re-discovery of the

Big stores say that Monopoly, al

to relieve tension and anxiety, the
National Recreation Association has
published a booklet, Home Play
in Wartime, which contains in
structions for nearly every game
from Jackstraws to Chinese Hop.
Many Americans, particularly in
cities, had been living in such a
whirl that they'd forgotten about
neighbors-untl car pools and war

Strangely, a decrease in book
reading has been reported, espe-
cially in industrial areas. Busy war
workers are just too tired to read,
it is said at the New York Public
Library, although younger readers
are said to be interested in tech
nical works or war correspondents
books. War wives read books of love
letters.
The Importance Of playing games
as morale-booster is stressed by
many industries where recreational
facilities of all types are provided
even during the working day.
