Christmas Wrappings
UNIFORMITY in Christmas
wrappings is no longer
smart. Each gift should be
cloaked in wrappings suited to
Its recipient, according to the
American Home.
Papers, ribbons, seals, tags
and trimmings of all sorts are
so delightfully varied that by
thoughtful shopping you can
individualize the dressing of
every present. The appreciation
sure to follow such evidence of
personal attention will more
than justify the slight extra ex
pense.

Date of Christ’s Birth
Not Positively Known
It Is generally assumed that we are
living in the year 1929, but the year
may really be 1933, or even later.
This fact is Indicated by a record
of an eclipse of the moon. Bible his
tory says that Christ was horn during
the reign of Herod the Great. But
Herod died in the spring of 4 15. C.,
the exact date being fixed by a lunar
eclipse winch look place tiie night be
fore his death.
Obviously, therefore, Jesus might
have been born not later than 4 B. C.,
and possibly earlier.
The church has no definite knowl
edge of the date of Christ’s birth. It
(ixed the year, month and day of the
month arbitrarily.
Astronomers are able to calculate
tiie dates of past eclipses as accurate
ly ns those of tiie future, and so have
determined tiie very day and hour of
I lie eclipse that ushered Herod tiie
Great out of tills life. —London Mail.
Claimed She Had Proof
Senator McNary said in the course
of an argument at a Washington
lunciieon:
“He claims that he understands the
farm problem, but the proofs he ad
vances remind me of tiie movie star.
“She was jilting a hook and eye
man, and tie said to her bitterly:
‘“You don’t know what love is.’
*“I do so. 1 know all about it.’ said
the movie star. ‘Wasn’t I dead stuck
on my fifth husband?’” —Detroit Free
Press.
Encourage French Birth*
Tiie French firm of Michelin began
some years ago to make family allow
ances among its employees, based on
tiie size of tiie family. Tiie birth of n
child is a positive economic advantage.
Asa result it is reported that the birth
rate in the Michelin community Is
twice that of France as a whole. Liv
ing condilions are good; therefore, tiie
rate of infant mortality is low.
Another Bird Refuge
Anew bird refuge has been estab
lished on a group of islands off the
tip of Florida by executive order of
President Hoover. Tiie group consists
of Snake key, North key and Dead
Man or Bird key. It will he known as
the Cedar keys bird refuge and will be
administered by the biological survey
of (lie United States Department of
Agriculture.
Clast Blackboards Favored
Educators Of Europe are taking
much interest in the proposal to sub
stitute blackboards of translucent
ground glass lighted from behind In
place of tiie usual black surface now
found in schoolrooms. It is claimed
that the new boards allow everything
chalked on them to” be seen by every
pupil. , .

Fiyer at Seventy-Five
Learning to fiy at seventy-five—this
is the record that has just been set up
by Sir Horace Plunkett, the Irish
statesman. And it was only a year or
so ago that experts were gravely say
ing that thirty-five was tiie extreme
limit of age for an airman. Even
more wonderful, perhaps, is President
Hindenhurg’s idea of a holiday. Tiie
great German soldier and statesman
took a vacation from the cares of
state tiie other day—and went off to
stalk chamois in the Bavarian Alps.
Tin's involves long tramps on the hills
and prolonged spells of crawling on
hands and knees. And President Ilin
denburg is eighty-two!
Overcharged
Maurice often is his father's com
panion on trips to the country to re
pair lights that generate their elec
tricity with batteries. On one of
these occasions lie was invited into
the grape arbor to eat grapes to his
heart’s content. After the return
home in the W’ee hours of the morning
the lad’s father was awakened by
groans.
“What’s the matter, son," inquired
tiie fa tlier.
“I think an overcharge of grapes, 5 ’
replied the lad.
Ten years after Umberto Paldechi of
Milan began to court Siguorita Maria
Daldrevo he shot her because she re
fused to marry him.
