POPE SAYS PRAYER IS NEED OF WORLD Pontiff Contrasts This With Fact That Money Is Sinews of Warfare Vatican City, Dec. 23.—()—Pope | Pius Saturday told a world entering the Christmas season that prayer is necessary in the present internation- al situation. That is the word of the church, said his holiness, in this moment “so filled with contrasts — negotiations and refusals to negotiate—conflicts of all news dispatches credited to it or not otherwise credited in this newspaper and also the local news of Spontaneous origin published herein. All rights of republication of all other matter herein are also reserved. Buffeted by economic storms and spiritual distresses, the people of the ‘world turn at this season to @ hum- ‘and contradictions.” He said all other advice derived} today from human foresight, precau- tions, efforts at negotiations, and even generosity “seems to us to be really unfounded.” ‘The pope’s annual Christmas ad- dress, made before the college of car- dinals and the Roman prelates, was brief. “Prayers, prayers, prayers,” are needed, in world affairs, he said, and: ble manger to obtain relief from their’ fpurdens. It is fitting that this should be a0,| for here only do we find the soul- Satisfying simplicity which eases our ‘minds, lightens our cares and softens the blows of adversity. The spirit of peace comes upon us Bll, just as the stars which shone on Bethlehem cast their beneficent glow upon this modern world. ‘We turn from thoughts of ourselves to thoughts of others, proving all over @gain that it is more blessed to give than to receive. The grasping ten- dencies, to which all of us too often @re subject, are diminished. We are prone to think in terms of Him who came into the world an outcast and whose philosophy has changed the course of all human existence. ‘We still are far from the goal of ‘universal brotherhood which He set for us, but that is because we learn 60 slowly, because we are loath to give practical applications to the truths He preached. But we know His spirit lives, for the world struggles, falters, falls; then gets up to struggle on again. And always the goal is the same. Always the inner voices urge us forward. ‘These last few years have seen longer strides than most comparable periods, for the human race learns best from adversity. If they have taught us nothing else, these times have emphasized the need for the helping hand and understanding: heart. They have brought home to everyone his obligation to assist in building 2 better order. To those who have room in their hearts to think of others, peace comes @t this season, and a new determina- tion to do their full share in making’ His kingdom a reality. And thus it is that voices ring with Bincerity as they extend the season's Greetings, just as ours does as we ‘wish all the friends and subscribers of The Tribune—and all the rest of the world—a Merry Christmas. How Strong Is Beer? ‘The next time someone tells you that beer was stronger in the old pre- Prohibition days than it is now, it might be a good idea to present him| ‘with some interesting facts, published by the Western Brewer, @ trade pub- cation. ‘This authority says old-time brews frequently contained less alcohol than the present 3.2 standard. Also, that differences in the way of figuring ac- count for much of the apparent dis- parity when alcoholic percentages are mentioned. As a matter of fact, there are four @ifferent standards and it is neces- ®ary to sort them out before any in- Most of the Canadian beers are fig- ured on the British proof basis. Thus) seven and eight per cent beer means’ something different from what we “Money, money, money, is needed to wage war.” Severely critizing the sterilization program of Germany, the Pope said the inconsistency of such practices in the light of religious teachings was clearly set forth in a papal decree in 1931 and in the encyclical, “Castii) Connubii.” Declaring that the international situation is bound up “with uncer- tainties and distrusts by the clashing interests of fruitless negotiations,” the Pope said the best comment he could offer is, “nobody knows” what the cutcome will be. Those who had been expecting a jong, analytical pontifical address on this occasion were to be disappointed, ne added, saying that the situation did not warrant more than an inti- mate talk with the churchmen. This year, from a religious view- point, has been one of religious re- demption with “work in many souls/ and over a vast scale.” ‘There are many other things “that we feel in our heart, but cannot say,” | be continued. | FATHER OF LOCAL WOMAN SUCCUMBS Rev. 0.

Aged Grave-Digger Pleads Not Guilty Sioux Falls, 8D. Dec. 23.—P)—| Hastily withdrawing an earlier plea of guilty, William Flitz, 70-year-old grave digger. Friday elected to fight & charge of first-degree manslaughter. filed after his wife had been found beaten to death in her home at Len- nox last Saturday. Flitz changed his plea after he had told Judge John T. Medin in halting dialect that his wife was “funny in the head sometimes” and that he struck her with a chair to “defend myself.” Judge Medin halted Proceedings then to inform Flitz of his rights. After a conference with his attor- ney Flits withdrew his plea of guilty. Harold Bogue, state’s attorney, said Fittz will be tried at the April term of court on the manslaughter charge.

ON THE GREEN AND OUT OF THE RED ‘This country may have its national Sports—but has no national game. As spectacles and diversions for honest working people, baseball, hockey and football are fine sports. They take the spectator out of doors, / where he gets whatever benefits a/ bundled or coddled or fashionably dressed person can get from the air Aside from the advantage of fresh air and sunshine, these popular sports are no better for the mental and physical health of, the on-looker than are the movies or other indoor shows. Sedentary folk who imagine they get any health benefit from attending baseball or football games deceive themselves. Even when the game is @ good one and the spectator becomes, excited about it, there is precious lit- | tle good to health in such vicarious outlet of emotion. The behavior of the excited spectator or fan, his yell- ing and his wild antics, is akin to the hysterics of an ordinary neurotic who pulse to fight or to run away and) attempts to compromise by just screaming or raising hob for a while.

Answer—No, I am glad to give any physician the simple formula if the doctor asks for it, and incloses stamp- It is a poor substitute. Golf is not altogether bad for the, sedentary individual who wishes to keep his balance. Unfortunately, golf | is a rich man’s game. Takes plenty of time and plenty of jack to play the game consistently, even if it be, only for a short, short summer sea-| son in the north. Down south where the golf bug can pursue the pill the year round, the game is _ still more expensive, indeed it is beyond the, reach of the average good man with a; family to support. He can indulge in, it only on occasional holidays or very early in the morning at the expense / of his sleep ration perhaps. I give you a game that has every health advantage and no health draw-| back that I know of; a game that) may be played on any vacant lot, or) in your village park or on your pri-/ vate green; a game that fascinates, ou the more the longer you play it; | @ game that promotes pleasant social intercourse; a game in which young or old, men or women, may excel; | the game of lawn bowls. It is infi- | nitely more scientific than alley bowl- | ing. It affords every opportunity for) team work, for the development of | special teams whose members acquire specialized skill so that one member) complements the part of another, and all together win in contests with) other teams. There is nothing of that ‘about trying nostrums to restore it. ed envelope bearing his address. The formula, however, is a minor feature. The important part of the technic is the method of support and the meth- od of injection. Any doctor can pre- pare the medicine himself and its cost is trivial. I warn both doctors and laymen to beware of secret or semi- secret nostrums purporting to be for this injection treatment, when there is a fancy price charged for the nos- trum. Fast Youth Son 28 has just one bad habit, stay- ing out nights till 2 and 3 o'clock. He has to be up and on the job every morning at 8 o'clock. We think his way will rob him of his health. He insists he gets plenty of sleep. (J. O.) Answer—When we have good health we are foolish about abusing it. When we have lost it we are just as foolish Mature adults may get along fairly well with only seven hours’ sleep. Elderly folk need less, six or five hours Perhaps. Younger adults need more, eight. Youths in their ’teens need nine to 10 hours’ sleep. Persons who work or play hard (physically) need more sleep than persons who lead a sedentary life. A white collar man can keep his health, such as it is, on shorter sleep rations than a real man in overalls requires to keep fit. (Copyright 1933, John F. Dille Co.) Tannen an eaeey ET | Additional Society | Witirieemtrimmisiaintesti de | Special Assemblies Mark School Closing Twelve groups of numbers com- prised the programs which were given at the Wachter and Roosevelt schools Friday afternoon to mark the closing of classes for the holiday.

A fig- ure stood up in it and stared down toward the island. For perhaps five minutes the craft hovered there. ‘Then it slowly backed away, blurred to nothingness, disappeared. “Spying out our camp!” Curt breathed to himself. Gradually the pink glow faded from the mountain peaks. A big cloud hove in sight over the eastern range. Curt watched it anxiously, afraid it would come on west and blot out the moon and plunge the lake into darkness just when he and Paul might have to beat off an at- tack, Moccasined footsteps came up the ‘west landwash. Paul, he thought. A moving blur shaped itself to a hu- man figure, Then he saw it was not Paul. A dozen steps away the figure stopped, looked around for him. “Sonya,” he called quietly. She came on to the little barri- cade. “Is one allowed to talk to the guard?” she asked whimsically. She crouched down with him. “I brought you one of my blankets and a tincup of coffee, I raked enough sand off the fire to heat this, but I didn’t ex- pose the coals.” Curt squeezed her hand. “It was sweet of you—all the trouble, dear. But you'd better take the blanket. This mountain air gets chilly when @ person isn’t moving around.” He put the blanket about her shoulders. “Thanks, Curt. The air does have a bite in it.” She did not ffee her hand or ob- Ject to his endearin~ word. Her near- ness and that shock of golden-brown hair so close to his shoulder almost robbed him of ‘is restraint, “Tired?” he asked gently. “A little.” He put his arm around her and made her snuggle against him. “Isn't that better, dear?” “Lots, Curt!” But then she caught herself up and admitted more cau- tiously, “I mean—lots better than the cold rocks.” His lips toucied her hair, her fore- hhead. “Sonya, look up at me.” “Don't, Curt — please——" a Whisper of protest from her as he sought her lips.. She would not al- Jow him. “Dear, you must not.” She reached up her hand and touched his hair, running her fingers over it. “Curt, you’ve been s0 good, you're so unselfish and generous—I'd hate myself if 1 caused you any pain.” “Pain—to me? Why Sonya, you couldn't do that!” “But I could! You'll want me— you do even now, Curt—to be more than a friend; and I don’t—can’t— Oh, I wish we could continue to be just the good friends we have been.” out of T started r little. “‘Can't?’” he repeated. “Do you mean that we-that I can’t be more than a friend?” “Please Curt, I'd rather not talk about it.” “You've never told me anything at all about yourself, I don’t even know your name, your real name.” “Does that matter?” “Or where you came from, or where you're going when this trip's ended. Is that fair, Sonya?” “It's grossly unfair. I've treated you unfairly all along, Curt. But I can’t help myself. When this trip is over, maybe ther I can afford to be honest. I don't blame you for ask- ing questions, but... 1 think I'll Go back to the rocks down there.” “Please dog't,” Curt begged. She leaned ber tired head back against bis shoulder, but Curt felt she was far away from him, alone with her own thoughts. He seemed shut out by a granite wall of aloof- ness. For days he had been vaguely aware of some barrier between them; now he felt it forcibly and unmistakably. “Can't”—had she were, meant that portentous little | | Moccasined footsteps again, quick | footsteps, very near sent | box.

One turned broadside to the moon’s reflection and I saw it dist.nctly, It carried just two.” “That means we've only got eight men to deal with. Those eight we saw today. We ought to stand them off without much trouble.” After a few moments’ thought, he directed: “You go back to your post, Paul. If they start across, try to stop ‘em by shooting over their heads. If they keep coming on, ricochet your bul- lets through their canoes. I'll stay here and watch for others. They may be planning to box us from two sides. If that party over there is the only one, I'll help you turn ‘em around and head ‘em the other way.” When Paul had left, he suggested: “I'd better take you back to the boulders, Sonya. It's safer there. We'll likely have some swift work for a minute or two.” “I'd rather stay here, if you'll let me. I can help, too, if it comes toa real fight.” Her hand crept inside her blouse, and came out with some black metallic object. Curt saw it was a small automatic, a little purse-size thing, but nevertheless an effective weapon for close work. Once on a portage when he had lifted her down from a pile of windfall he had felt something hard beneath her blouse. It must have been this same gun. She must carry it with her all the time now. N THE willow island he saw nothing, heard nothing. The minutes dragged by interminably. He almost wished the fight would start, Anything was better than waiting, waiting. The big cloud had drifted on out from the eastern range till it was only a little distance from the moon. But a strong up-current from the valley had seized it and it hovered uncertainly, sending out feathery wisps this way and that. Down toward the camp a patter- ing noise suddenly arose. it sounded as though the tents and canoes were being pelted with small stones. Sonya touched his arm. “Curt, what's that?” “Arrows! They're shooting up our camp. You see, they expected to kill or wound part of us before we got out of our blankets.” “Why,” Sonya gasped, “you must've known—that’s why you made us stay away from the tents!” “I didn’t know they’d do it, but I suspected they might, so I played and Mrs. John A.

It seems to me that a whole flock of them are bus zing out of those wil:ows yonder.” Paul took the hint and answered, with a scornful laugh: “They are bad, yes; but their buzzing does not annoy me much. They.are nothing for a man to worr, about.” a At the two voices, the Klosohees let loose a storm of darts. The at- tack would have worn itself out harmlessly if the two guides had obeyed orders.
