We read in the Associated Press dispatches of the fact
that the troops of Marsjhal Feng, the famous Chinese Christ
ian general, have occupied and taken charge of the great city
of Tientsin, after fifteen days of fighting, during which time
that city was cut off from rail connections with the outside;
after battle which was one of the most sanguinary in the
history' of xriodern Chinese ? warfare, and "a veritable baptism
in blood of the Christian-general's famous first army, which
hitherto had not been .engaged in any serious fighting'-' j
' And that complete order was at once restored. .
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. No' wonder there; is

this blank' were definite instructions in regard to making
applications -for 1926 motor vehicle licenses. y
)T-r These blanks and instructions were : sent out early in
order to provide against the issuance of special licenses by
the sheriffs of the counties. 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 '

"Celebration for Sunday
School Pupils
A young woman took down the
receiver artd discovered that the
telephone was in use.
' ' " just put on a pan of beans
for dinner," she heard one woman
complacently informing another.
She hung up the receiver and
waited. Three times she waited,
and then, exasperated, she broke
into the conversation.
"Madam, I smell your beans
burning." she announced crisply.
A horrified scream greeted Ihe re
mark, and the young womau was
able to put in her call.
A small boy who attends one of
the grade schools was vaccinated
recently, and after the arm Jiad
been dressed the attending physi
cian suggested thai he place, a -rib

At this the youngster kpoke up:
'Put it around the other arm," he
said.
"But that won't do any good,".
protested the dqctor. . "It wants
to be placed around 'the sore arm.
so the boys at school won't be
hurting it."
The lad looked at him in dis
gust and replied: "You put it
around the other arm. You don't

Application Withdrawn
The Pear Creek Room company
has withdrawn its application for
a franchise to operate on Bear
creek, in Coos county. Announce

by the public service commission.
There are two ways to present the; matter of the high
per capita taxes paid by-the "people of the '"United States
the one the way of the crape hanger, as referred to in 'this
column yesterday morning, and the other the way of the man

? And the elder J. P. Morgan said a man who is a bear on
thetUuriited -States is a fool.
: President Chapline of the La Salle Extension university,
in an address in N,ew York City a few evenings ago, presented
; the matter in the latter way. He said
: "Eyery man, woman and child in the United States

elaborate plans for its 'annual
Sunday school Christmas tree,
which -will be held at the local
hall. 241. State street. Monday
night, beginning at 7:30. 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.

When you consider that during
hours out of the 24, or 71 per
cent of the day, your feet are en
cased in shoes, and that over
half of this time your' foot is sup
porting the entire weight of your
body .In either a stading or walk
ing position, then' it would seem
that shoes are perhaps the most
important Item, of apparel and
should be selected with-an idea to
comfort and health as well as ap
pearance.
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-
