That has been the rule with General Feng's army. It is a. Christian army. . It marches forward "and goes into battle singing Christian songs. Nearly every man in that army is a Christian, and a militant one, filled with such zeal as has fired the souls Of the great evangelists of history; and Gen eral Feng himself not only fights but prays and preaches and pleads I for Christian' converts, and is one of the most con- ybicing and effectual Christian workers in all the history. of the world. And he is also a .great organizer and a great military leader.- He, wins' victories.

But with the year 1926 draw,, ing near thousands of auto owners who' must have licenses for next year have not applied for them, which means a last minute rush or special licenses or both. " The law requires now that before a license is issued the owner must present a "certificate of title" or "certificate and receipt of registration." , "T The certificate of title facilitates the tracing of owner ship in case of theft, liability accidents, and in case o,f dis puted ownership and should be of great value to the public generally. , . ' ' " . ' , . Cojnplaint movci the "lultiplicity of legal requirements made upon auto ovvTiers ia frequent heard. And it is true that there are many laws-affecting the car owner but all of them were passed upon presentation by auto owners and by tfie public that they are heeded for the owners and for the public's protection. - With' the vast increase in the number of automobiles, both passenger and truck, occupying our streets and high ways, there is demand for stringent regulations. There were 700,000 recorded injuries and 22,000 deaths in 1924 from auto accidents. The property loss during .this ame. period was over $600,000,000. ' ' . The wholesale thefts of autos, their use in robberies, in bootleg operations and the tremendous cost to the highway department of the state urges a multitude of laws and attend ant expenses for their administration. ' , u., Thifr "vast and complex factor in the social and economic life Of the state is a tremendous responsibility calling for regulation. And owners of these vehicles cannot escape their large part in caring for these responsibilities. That the own ers are taxed heavily cannot be denied and that advantages of good highways and individual protection to the same own ers as true. One of the things most helpful to the administration of the automobile laws is prompt payment of the license fee. Meanwhile radical reduction in the amount of license fees should be kept in mind. j ' cidents reported -6 10. acere. subject to the provisions of the workmen's fompensatiQQ. actL 1 23 were from firms and corporations that have rejected tho law, and two were from public utility corporations not entitled to state protection; - L IB: il fA U - Sfllvatio n Army PJaos vTree "Celebration for Sunday School Pupils A young woman took down the receiver artd discovered that the telephone was in use.

Three times she waited, and then, exasperated, she broke into the conversation. "Madam, I smell your beans burning." she announced crisply.

Over 100 young and older ones who are members of the Sunday school, will receive gifts', candy and fruit. .Dr. B. F. Pound,1 chairman of the army's advisory committee, will diretc the evening's program. Cooke Patton, local merchant will entertain with music and humor. Mr. Patton was to have appeared on'the Christmas tree program at the Armory Thursday night, but press of business prevented him from doing so. Another special feature of the evening's program will be Fred G. Fisher, singer, from Chicago. Doors will be open to the gen eral public as early as 7 o'clock. Tickets have been issued to the army's Sunday school children, and these will be given the pref erence of seats. The same system employed at the armory in the handling of those receiving gifts will be used on this occasion. It is stated that approximately 300 children were passed by the re ceiving, line in the armory within less than one hour, and each child was served with five different things.

The theory that weight makes for warmth or wear has been quite definitely and finally dismised in so far as wearing apparel is con cerned. , The weight of the shoe does not indicate either warmth or durability. And weight certainly does not promise comfort. Kid leather forNexample. is light but it wears longera.nd is more comfort able than heavier leathers. Woman's fashion anticipation bears out the trfth of this theory and it is in their's footwear that a great change' Mas become wrought. The general ,accepuhce, or cx. The general acceptaiAcc, for exam ple, kid footwear by, women be speaks its merit: Theyhave found it not only exceedingly smart and neat in appearance, hify comfort able, durable, and, in t)i? long run economical. Kid footwear is now in demand by men for the same reasons., Since people are beginning to ex ercise the same caution in exam ining shoe materials that they em ploy when buying Other apparel It is well to know that kid leather is readily distinguished by the many little pores which are visible in the . leather, a characteristic which no other leather has. For many whose work is both outdoors, and indoors, the shoe of kid leather is ideal because the porous qualitites of kid permit the foot to breath indoors ancj still be kept sufficiently warm when out of doors. And then. too. kid leath er takes a perfect polish, thus prolonging the life of the shoe. There arc so many occasions wnen only a black BUoe is appro priate that- the well dressed man is demanding something finer in this line and it is pf, kid leather that the new patterns are being made. The substantial brogue ox fords formerly made in heavy cumbersome leather, . are now shown in kid, giving the appear ance of the heavy corded leather but with the warmth and comfort that only a kid shoe can lend- After six o'clock In the evening, when only black shoes, are seen abroad," the most fastidious men are self ford inJ with Hi siderefi: hours J Asf an. tXie cting a plain black kiJ ex- the dull finish", for leathers gh gloss Is bo longer cqn smart for' the evening or the smartly dresed worn- two-niece ensemble is' worn at all hours of the dav and nighty distinguished only by its more j delicate fabric and absence y of si aeves in the evening.
