Ways n, Dec. 22.—Advertising in is still primitive, but the scholars are studying it, the pay chologists issue occasional vol umes expounding the theory, and every now and then a business man has an idea. Friedriebstrasse, chief north and south thoroughfare in tha central city was jammed with a curious mob the other day when a hosiery shop set up a miniature MU picture outfit in its win >g to show how stockings are made in the factory. The police had to clear the street before the astounding novel ty. '?V.' '.'AW * Much worse waa the lot of the enterprising manufacturer who erected an electric light sign so attractive that the police could not handle the crowds. Order Sign Down. Instead of allowing the public to become used to it, the police com missioner ordered the sign down. Since that time moving electric signs have gradually ceased to paralyze traffic and enough of them are now scattered about the business section to make a wel come addition to the poor street lighting. Dissenters express themselves now and then, but the Berlin bus iness man’s most profound though often unadmitted, ambition is to do business in American style, and to have Berlin win the reputation of a big city in the American sense. "The white way" is known to thousands of Germans who have never heard of Fifth avenue. Artists Enthusiastic. <« Don’t look at the lights with' your eyes open,” said the expres sionist painter who was enthusi astic over the sign showing gold en champagne streaming into a glgga, with the bubbles leaping skyward, "Half close your eyes,’’ he said, St and incline your head sideways. See what a wealth of color. It’s especially good on a rainy night when the wet streets reflect a million highlights. • 111 their posters the Germans are more effective than in arty of their other attempt* at ad vertising. Particularly in the modified expressionists pasters which startle the passerby into attention. Newspaper Ads Mediaeval. But in the newspapers and mag azines the quality of work is medi aeval, grading, with the patent medicine boiler plate on the “in sides” of American country week lies. The modern intriguing ad, luring the reader into appreciation of the merits of an automobile tire through the anecdote at the golf club, is utterly unknown. $20,000,000 IN CASH RAISED IN WALL STREET New York, Dec. 22.—More than $20,000,000 in cash out of the $25, 000,000 gift recently made by .

DAILY NEWS htr Accomplishment*— What Have They Been? I have always found, even lu youth, quite as much interest in looking back us in looking forward. It is good to plan for the future, but there is quite as much to be gained from reviewing the past and in seeing how fas we have come, how much we have accomplished, in what ways we have deve’»ped. I wus talking to Foreman about the year that is so nearly at an end. He waa dissatisfied with his prog ress and uncertain as to whether or not the time and money he had expended had been worth while. He had learned little, It seemed, for all he could see, he wasn't different than when he had left the little country I town nine months ago. But could see that he was a little more himself, self-satisfied, a little surer of a little less crude In his manners. He was learning to think, 'earning to me$t people, and d* veioplng than a little wider range of in terest when he left home. As you come to the end of the year and look back, how far have you come? It is an easy question to ask, but possibly not so easy to answer.

Light in the Steeple On Christmas Morning Far above the sleeping city, like a low and leading stur, like 8 watchful and kindly eye, like H beacon of assuring hope, a prom ise of Christmas morning, beamed the light of the old church steeple. It shone down through one of the church windows and smiled upon the pictured shepherds who < found a morning at midnight; and upon the stately wise men who knew the jby of making gladness out of gifts. Its rays lighted up a gar ret, where two very hopeful young sters were sleeping upon a very small bed, after making sure that under g info th! dropped a coin poor box t tl U C h onT^r Sal ?' ti church^nm-eh on Armv lfl s R t tle P nna her tntn ' J^Sni bourine inflSSJ? merriiv s P me ket strif so fun a t^ i,„^ ber g d bas ° T n " the XS ns fhnf hens » h by t Dg ilvht ght that 1 » " aS „ H time to ring And so with cheering glory and with chime Came In another happy Christmas time.

REAL SANTA CLAUS g 2 Since we must have our 2 Christmas trees, the chief 5 § 5 problem Is how they are to g be obtained.

One large ship- 2 2 S per of New England has been 2 In the business for forty g 2 2 years and In that time has 2 2 sold many thousand carloads 5 of trees.

Cream , together one-fourth cupful of butter and one-half cupful of sugar, adding the "ell-beaten yolks ol three eggs, the juice and grated rind of * lemon, with a pinch of cinnamon. Add the potato with one cupful of rich milk, fold in the beaten whites of the eggs and pour into a pie plate lined with flaky crust. Bake In a moderate oven, taking care that the top does not become too brown be fore the filling Is sufficiently cooked. Brunswick Stew.—In the early days In Brunswick county hunters prepared this Virginia dish, using squirrels as the meat for the stew. When squirrels are not to be ob tained, chicken or lamb Is substi tuted: Cut the meat into serving sized pieces, dip into flour. Place an iron kettle over the fire and into it place a layer of coarsely chopped salt pork; over this add a layer of thinly sliced onion, next a layer of .parboiled potatoes, a layer of green corn cut from the cob (canned corn may be used), and finally a layer of lima beans. Now place the meat in the kettle and repeat with another layer of the pork, onion and other vegetables, then pour over two quarts of boiling water, cover and place the kettle where it will just simmer for three or four hours. Now add a quart of tomatoes Cut into pieces, two teaspoonfuls of sugar, a tablespoonful of salt, pepper to taste, cover and cook another hour. Thicken the gravy with flour and butter rubbed to a paste, adding more seasoning If needed; simmer until the gravy is cooked and the stew is ready to serve. This makes a large kettleful but is good re heated If the family do not consume it all the first day. Roast Oysters.—This Is a typical Washington dish.
