PAGE SIXTEEN CASPER TALENT SCORES HIT IN NATIVITY PLAY 3tanding Room in High School Auditorium at Premium for Presentation of Play. The Nativity play which was given Thursday evening in the auditorium | of the high schoo! as a forerunner ot the Christmas spirit and atmosphere which is now so clearly felt, was one of the most artistic performances to be presented by local talent. The auditorium of the school was crowded with every seat taken, and even the standing room well filled. ‘The appreciation of the audience was evident through thelr expressions aft- er the performance and by the vol- ume of applause . One of the most attractive parts of the evening’s program was the carol singing from the audience and from dehind the scenes, giving an unusual- ly realistic atmosphere to the quaint play of Gaelic folk lore. In numer- ous carols the quartet from the Meth- odist church featured in @ lovely man- nez. ‘The story of the birth of Christ was portrayed in exquisite simplicity. ‘The characters of the wise men, the shepherds, Mary and Joseph and the women being taken by persons of lo- cal prominence. The story was true to the Bible versions of the birth as translated into the Gaelic idea of the drama. The angel chorus was one of the high lights of the play. The solo, “Holy Night,” sung by Mrs. Florence Lowell from behind the scenes, was beautiful in its interpretation and sig- nificance to the play. “We Three Kings of the Orient Are.” sung by @hree kings, was musical and artistic tp the highest degree. ‘The dramatic action of the play was extraordinarily well put on with an eye to the effect points of the story, giving an inspirational and impres- sionable rendition of the well known plot. ‘As a whole the evening was enjoy- able in every manner and showed tal- ent and great ability on the part of the players.

And yet it is a scien- tific fact which may explain te the children how it is Santa Claus can cover the whole world on Christ- mas! As the earth revolves on its axis, midnight and morning oust con- stantly change. A new day is al- ways beginning somewhere. But there must be some official spot or line where any given day begins on the earth. By a fortunate chance, this line can be drawn precisely half way round the globe from the Green- wich meridian, and this line crosses no important land area, being al- most entirely in the Pacific ocean. ‘Where This ine is known as the “Inter national Day Line,” and here each day officially begins. A glance at the map will illustrate this.

Monday begins at midnight at this line, but Sunday ts still finishing on the rest of the earth. It takes Monday 24 hours to encircle the globe, and get back to this line, so as to begin Tuesday. Meanwhile Sunday is running out, as Muu ‘ catcbes up with it, while encircling the globe. Thus, there are always two days going on at the same time, on our earth! Furthermore, while a day at any particular place is 24 hours long, each day lasts on earth at least 48 hours.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.—Five re- Any given day, say Christmas, is first counted as that day just west of the date line. An_ hour later, Christmas begins 15 degrees west of that line, two hours later it be- gins 30 degrees west of it, and so on round the globe. That Third Day! The people just west of the date line, who first hafled Christmas, have enjoyed 12 hours of it when it begins in England, 18 hours of it when it begins in central U. 8., and 24 hours of it, or a whole day, when it begins in western Alaska, just east of the date line. Christ- mas, then, has existed 24 hours on the globe, but, having just begun in western Alaska, it will tarry 24 hours longer among mankind, mak- ing 48 hours that this day blesses the earth. But the date line is not quite straight; {t varies. Attu island, for instance, is included with Alaska. Because of this, every day actually exists 49 hours and 12 minutes, be- fore it actually ceases to be on the earth. But 49 hours runs into the third day! bers of the officers’ reserve . corps were selected today by Secretary ‘Weeks for nomination to be brigadier generals in the officers’ reserve corps. The reserve officers named included Col, Thornwall Mullally, San Fran- elsco; Col, George W. Ball, Iowa City, Iowa; Col. William J.
