Much Interest to Friends
Something that has caused intense

Depresion Plant. True to its name,
the plant can be afforded by almost
anyone in this time of depression.
All you dp is take three small lumps
of coal and dampen them. They should
next be placed in a bowl. Then sprin
kle the coal and bottom of the bowl,
not too thickly, with the contents of
three 5-cent packages of powdered
bluing. Add three table spoonsful of
salt and 10 or 12 drops of mercuro-
chrome. After this, add four table-
spoonsful of water to the -bowl, being
careful not to wash all the bluing
from the coal. Now, it won’t be long
before you will have a beautiful rain
bow colored plant.

Especially is It a day for children,
for them to be happy, to enjoy their
gifts, to realize . in their youngest
years something of the beauty -and
warmth that Christmas brings with

and the hearth Are blazes, the air is
filled with an indefinable, mysterious
peace that makes glad the hearts* of
all.

The ideas of the Monroe Doctrina
are as follows:
(1) Two Spheres—It was hold that
the world was divided into two
spheres, the Eastern and the Western.
President Washington stated one side
of that drinciple in his doctrine of
"Isolation", which was that the Unit
ed States was not called upon to take
part in the affairs and especially the
wars, of Europe. The other side, ns
worked out by Adams and Monroe,
was that European powers ought not
to interfere in the affairs of Ameri-
calm of that tenderest of Christmas 1 ca. They recognized thnt Great Brit-
melodles, “Silent Night, Holy Night," ! ain had large Interests in Canada and

hearts are made gladder in song.

be good music, music that touches
the heartB of men and makes them
exult in the knowledge that once
the West Indies, and that France and
some smaller European nations had
Interests in the Americas.

wrote, “the political system of. the
illied powers is essentially different

MUSIC EDUCATION
(This- column is edited by the
Junior Music clubs of Butler High
school in appreciation of _music; to
give information, inspiration and en
couragement to music students.)
The outstanding feature of the
musical world this week is of course
•he national observance of the 70th
anniversary of Edward Alexander Mc
Dowell—America’s composer genius—
his birthday Is December 18, and this
year also marks the 25th anniversary
of the Petenboro New Hampshire
colony for creative artists which was
MacDowell’s Dream, realized by his
wife’s efforts through the years fol
lowing his death.
The MacDowell colony was founded
by the composer to give musicians an
opportunity to work in an atmos
phere of tranquility which MacDowell
himself had surely missed during the
earlier years of his career.
There was a festival concert given
in New York Monday and -broadcasted
giving opportunity to hear Mac
Dowell. Mrs. MacDowell spoke. She
said Peterboro was not a place where
artists could go and have a inspira-

of Latin America to declare that we
consider any attempt on the European
powers to extend their influence to
any of the Americans as dangerous t«
our peace and safety." By “Political
Power" President Monroe meant the
attempts of the Holy Alliance to get
the Latin American countries under
their control.
(3) Colonization—In his speech
Monroe said, “The American conti
nents, by the free and independent
condition which they have assumed
and maintain,are henceforth not to he
considered for colonization by tha
European powers." This was directed
against Russia.
(4) Peace—The purpose of Adams
very interesting.
The Monroe Doctrine
The Doctrine was first clearly stat
ed -by President Monroe in a message
in 1823, tho the main idea of the
message and some of the wording are
due to Quincy Adams, the Secretary
of State. The reason for the pro
nouncement of the Doctrine was that

by the revolt of the Latin American
colonies, a new kind of state was cre
