S. A, BY JONATHAN A. RAWSO! Army Gains New Strength. AMERICAN CAMP, ABOVE TREN- TON FALLS, December 20, 1776.— Gen. Washington's forces gained new strength today with the arrival of Gen. Sullivan, who brought the divi- sion which Gen. Lee was leading from White Plains at the time of his cap- ture, and Gen. Gates with four East- ern regiments from Ticonderoga. These arrivals were heartily wel- comed by Gen. Washington, but much remains to be accomplished before he oan feel strong enough to seek out the enemy and give hattle. The general submitted a report to Congress today which will give that hody plenty to do and think about. His usual letters to Congress express wishes and offer suggestions. Today's communication gives orders. More than that, it announces certain radical policies which the general has adopted on his own responsibility and now re. quests Congress to approve. Today's letter asks in no uncertain terms for immediate congressional action In at least 12 matters. “I wish to know” and “I wish to have it announced" are two expres- sions in today's lesters, where before “I entreat the attention of Congress to this subject” or “If Congress shoyld resolve’” would have been found. BEDTIME STORIES Sammy Jay Follows. For what you know folks can't deny. To get at facts ia worth & try: —Sammy Jay. Farmer Brown’s Boy had made two or three visits to the Green Forest, where he had wandered about without seeming to have any real purpose. At least he hadn’t any real purpose that Sammy Jay could see. But Sammy wes smart enough to know that Farmer Brown's Boy seldom went out without a purpose. So Sammy kept watch. Very quietly he followed, When Farmer Erown's Boy moved on, Sammy moved on. When Farmer Brown’s Boy stopped, Sammy stopped. But he took particular pains to keep out of sight. Not that Farmer Brown's BAMMY WANTED TQg SCREAM AT HIM. HE WANTED TO SCREAM “STOP THAT!" Boy would have cared. There was no reason that Saummy could think of why Farmer Brown's Boy should care whether or not he was followed. But to 8py on people hus become such a habit with Sainmy Jay that when he is trying to find out things he seems 1o think he must keep out of sight. “I don't know what he's up to, Sammy we to himself. “He seems to be 1o nd little and little ot cones on v nests at he doesn’t t anything else. yeur looking my own little mind And so it's all Plavored with me — If only I had an impersonal eye I wonder what wonders | this, The general has ordered three bat- talions of artillery to be recruited, has offered the artillery an increase of 25 per cent in pay, and he will encourage | any good officer to seek recruits for the Army. If Congress feels that he is assuming too much power, he says, or if they consider that these steps are premature and unwarrantable, he declures: “T can only add that desperate dls- euses require desperate remedies, and I with truth declare that I have no lust after power, but I wish with as much fervency as any man upon this| wide-extended continent for an oppor- tunity of turning the sword into the ploughshare. But my feelings as an officer and a man have been such as to force me to say that no person ever had a greater choice of difficulties to contend with than I have, * * @ A character to lose, an estate to for- feit, the inestimable biessings of lib- erty at stake and a life devoted, must be my excuse."” ‘The general requests that the new Army be of 110 battalions instead of 88; that a corps of engineers be estab- lished; that certain Southern troops be ordered forward; that a clothier gen- eral and a commissary of prisoners be appointed, and that supplies of tents, teams, small arms and provisions be eent to him forthwith. (Covyricht. 1926.) BY THORNTON W, BURGESS T wonder what it means. Y do s0; I wonder what it means. So, whenever Sammy heard the back door of Farmer Brown's house slam, he would be on the watch to see if Farmer Brown's Boy was heading for the Green Forest. he would go. By and by he discovered that Farmer Brown's Boy was mark- ing some of those trees. He carried a little ax, and every now and then he would cut a little chip from neap the foot of one of these young trees. Sammy Jay did a whole lot of head- scratching over that. He couldn't see any sense to it at all. If Farmer Brown's Boy had cut a tree down, Summy would have understood it! but he didn‘t understand at all kis cutting of little chips from these trees. It just didn’t seem sensible. Then for several days Farmer Brown's Boy dldn’t appear at all and Sammy Jay had almost forgotten this thing that had puzzled him so. He ‘was over in the Green Korest, trying to make up his mind what kind of mischief he would get into next, when he heard an ax. Yes, sir, he heard an ax ringing agalnst a tree. Some one was chopping. Sammy waited only just long enough to draw one breath, then away he went, flit-filt-flit. Some- thing was going on that he didn’t know about, and that wouldn't do at all. Presently he came in sight of a place where Farmer Brown's Boy had been cutting those little chips from young trees. Hp was there now, but he wasn't cutting just the little chip from a tree; he was cutting down & whole tree, . Sammy wanted fo scream at him. He wanted to scream, “Stop that! Stop spoiling our Green Forest'; but he didn’t. still, which perhaps is just as well, for Farmer Brown's Hoy wasn't spoll- ing the Green Furest. As a matter of fact, he was making that Green Forest a still better place for all who lived there. You see, right{ in there there were too many young trees coming up. Trees cannot live and £row to be full size, fine and handsome as they should, if they are crowded. They are just like human beinge. Hu- man beings who get very little air and seldom see the sunlight are never strong and rugged. It is just so with trees. 8o it wus a good thing to have some of those young trees cut out {n there. Tarmer Brown's Boy knew en if Sammy Jay didn't.

Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Perhaps there is no one thing which 80 upsets the new mother as her baby’s crying. If the baby is born in & hespital and has been out from under the mother's eye for a large share of the day, she Imaglnes, no doubt, that it never cried until she brought it home and that something terrible must be wrong with it. Hos- ital bables cry just as regularly as bies at home, but the mothers don't hear them. Bables sleep most of the time, but their wakeful hours are in many cases orying ones as well, for babies “yap' almost as easily as they breathe, and for no very good reason. A loud, healthy yell, in which the infant grows red in the face and kicks and squirms, should not be stopped. Let him yell it out. It's the best kind of exercise and brings him to his dinner with a fine, lusty appetite. If bables are constantly taken up each time they begin to ery and fussed over and “shushed,” they will soon de- mand just this kind of attention, and very soon the mother will not know whether the child is erying because there is ly something the matter with him or Is just desirous of a little attention. It is a wise rule to give the baby loving attention and cuddling when he isn‘t erying and try a little wholesome ‘“deafness” when he is. It 1s usually easy enough for the trained ear to detect the signs of reai pain and distress In the baby's cry and realize that it 18 time to help him, The sick baby wails and whines, rather than cries. It 1s a melancholy sound and wrings the heart. Such & ory {8 less noisy than the healthy baby's, but it indicates the need for more than loving attention. The baby needs real treatment. The overfed baby will usually ery less at night than he does in the day- time. for the reason that his small stomach is getting a longer rest and he is more comfortable. The underfed baby will probably sleep fitfully all night, waking numer- ous times to be fed and swallowing great doses of water or anything else that comes to his hungry mouth. This appliea also to the baby of seven months or so who has been in the habit of sleeping all night and ! then suddenly begins to waken two or three times nightly, demanding to be fed. This baby needs more food and & change and enlargement of the diet, Weaning is in order for the nursing baby and more food or & stronger for- mula for the bottle baby. Then he will go back to sleeping all night again. . Sometimes more food at the 6 o’clock feeding will do this same thing for the younger baby who sleeps poorly at night. Don't be too nervous about crying if the baby is healthy and gaining. Don't be indiffercnt to it if the baby Is not. Dressing for Eggs. This is a good dressing for hard. bolled eggs cut in halves: Onc tea- spoonful of ground mustard, four tea- spoonfuls of sugar, one teaspoonful of flour, one tablespoonful of butter or olive ofl, one-half a' teaspoonful each of salt and pepper, one-half a cupful of milk, one-half a cupful of vinegar and one egg. Mix the mus- tard, sugar, flour, salt and pepper, @dd the milk and melted butter, then add the heaten egg. Ilace over the fire, add Ye vinegar slowly, stirring constuntly until the dressing begins to thicken. Remove from the fire and heat for two minutes. | i Breakfast Pu(iding. Use ona cupful of cold chopped beef, veal, chicken, or ham and mix with two cupfuls of fine, stale bread crumbs and ome hard boiled egg, chopped fine. Season well with celery salt, pepper and a slice of onion it liked. Dot with butter and moisten with milk and bake in a hot oven for 20 minutes. Salmon may also be used for this dish, 1f Ash na sed. | | OH, MAN—ABROAD! 404 1/irs esen PLEASURS HAVE MGT A this £ HE SAD ) WE MET Yors | WM AT ALL- CROSS NG " D. C.

How far is Lloyd George ve- sponsible for this condition? 3 Answer—The Liberal party origi- nated in the older Whig party and | retuined many of its constitutional features, combining these with the more progressive elements of radi- calism. It reached its climax during Gladstone's tenure as its leader. But his advocacy of home rule for Tre- land split the party, the Whig ele- ment revolting against the measure, the: radical element supporting it. Under the administration of Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman, whose far-sighted statesmanship n grant- ing self-government to the South African colonies did much to pre- serve the integrity of the empire In 1914, the party regained its ascend- ency and vigor. Mr. Asquith, now Lord Oxford, who succeeded Sir Henry, is a learned and eloquent constitutionalist and a firm upholder of those standards In puhllu_)lh- which inspire confidence in politics. The phenomenal growth of the miership and was accelerated by the World War. The Laborites drew hesvily upon the ranks of Liberalism and naturally drove some of its less progressive adherents into the Tory camp. In truth, Mr. Ramsey Macdonald's accession to power sig- nalized a logical rex“lnmal!\l lof arties under the pressure of cir- Zurns!ances which left the Liberals to fall between the two stools of conservatism and industrialism. Mr. Lloyd George's responsibility for this condition is a disputed point upon which I do not care to pass BEAUTY CHATS Color. We have perjods when we eliminate all gayety of color from our clothes and our houses, and periods when we reduce everything to watered-out pas- tel tints. At the moment bright colors are allowed by fashion. You can tell the difference between this and sev- eral years ago by the brilliancy of any large crowd of people, either at a foot ball game, or in a theater, or at a large dance. The soberness of the men'’s clothes cannot drown the vivid- ness of the women's. ‘Whieh is as it should be. If color aan add attractiveness to life, let us have as much of it as 1s good for us. Not too much. Once, along about the '80s and '90s of the last century, red wallpaper was thought gay. Actually, it {8 so depressing that it is the worst thing possible for the eyes and the nerves.

' His immense gifts as a first- rate platform speaker and parliamen- tarfan, and his huoyancy, humer and intimate knowledge of the working classes stood him in good stead and rendered great service to the nation and the world from 1914 to 1918 But he has never been forgiven by the aristocrats for his assaults upon their privileges in pre-war days. The Laborites eye him askance as one who has wandered far from his for- mer professions. The right wing of Liberalism deeply distrusts his flex- | {ible political methods.

Does not man come from God and contain a portion of' the Godlike | spirit, and can he live without God Is not, God the life principle in all living things, both human, animal and plant? Is it not this Godlike element in man which is the one source from which his redemption can come? Answer—Man never was a god and never will be. Made a man, he re- mains the same even in his moral | ruin. and whatever he may become in moral excellence he will still be hu- man. Otherwise he would not have ransacked the heavens and the earth for his deities. Yet you are right in your belief that there is something of the divine | in every man and woman. The Cre- ator breathes Himself into His handiwork as the conscientious work- man breathes himself into his task. The measure of divinity in created things is higher or lower according to the degree in which they share the nature of Deity. By this stand- ard human beings are nearest to their Maker because He has made them in His own image. The God-like in them does not save them but is makes them savable. Conscience reason, the will and the affections reflect their Supreme Orig- inator and also determine wherein man’s salvation consists. We need to know the one reality which these marvelous endowments require. What is it if not harmonious correspondence with their Ordainer?

Choose one dominant color for wear the year around, and three or four eontrasting colora. A brunette, for instance, would look well with beige as a chlef color, and red, brown, orange, pale yellow and either rose or green, according to her complexion, for combination and contrast. A blonde could Wave gray as a chief color or else deep blue, and vellow, green, rose and French blue as con- trast.
