Unto Us A Son
$ Born
When the fullness of time
had com, the angel Gabriel
was aent from heaven to a city
In Galilee named Nazareth, to
the Virgin Mary, who was of
the house and lineage of David
Gabriel tells Mary that she
ha found favor with God and
that aha Is to become a mother.
Of her will be born the long
awaited Messiah EMANUEL
or GOD WITH US being anoth
er of His names. He was to
have no father. How could this
ba, asks Mary? How could a
child be brought to the birth
without a man to bo Ita father?
Gabriel gives answer 'The
Holy host shall come upon thee,
and the. power of the Highest
. shall overshadow thee; there
fore that holy thing that shall
ba born of thee shall be called
tha Son of God." Now sum It
up. From HI Mother, He was
to take human body and our
human nature. That would
make Him one with tha sons
of men; bone of our bone and
flesh of our flesh; yet without
aln. Ha would be God on ills
father' side; God and Man In
On Person. As human as you
or I am yet Very Ood of Very
Ood.
Tha God Man
We see Him strip off His eter
nal glory and step down to tent
with us. "Foxes have dens, and
tha birds of the air have nests;
but the Son of Man hath not
where to lay His head." Ho
became the Friend of the
Friendless. Wa talk of His
miles and His tears; His rais
ing tha dead and preaching glad
tidings to tha poor: His stern
ness toward the self-righteous
0nd the gentleness that won
their little children. At the
nd wa see Him bow His holy
head under the eurse of our
Ins. Ha was crucified, dead,
and burlod. Up from the grave
Ha arose and ascended Into
heaven from whence He Is to
eoma tha Second Time when
Ha will stay wars and banish
whatever maketh He. In Him
hall all the nations put their
trust.

Gas and dynamite are out of

no master. Only the Son of
God can banish these. II I s

make peace between God and

Chapter V
"THE SPOKE DANCE"
Start this spectacular trick
from the common flat loop. Get
back Into the center of the loop
then we've got the wedding
ring. The wedding ring leads
us right down to the spoke
dance. A described in the
chapter on how to get out of
the wedding ring, start to lower
the spoke, but instead of step
ping out of the loop, raise the
left leg at least 10 Inches, al
lowing the spoke to pass under
neath the foot. When you are
sure you are clear of it, quickly
drop your left foot with all
your weight, for now, in a split
second, you'll have to lift the
right foot to allow the spoke
to pass under this foot also.
Then lift the left foot again and
repeat the above several times.
Your rhythem in this trick is
fox-trot time. In practicing the
spoke dance, try to spin your
rope as slow as possible, for you
will find that there is a lot of
action in this trick and natural
ly the faster you spin the loop,
the faster you must hop the
spoke.
Thin Is the trick that builds
up good sturdy legs and for
those of us who are Inclined to
eat a little too much and do
too little exercising, may I sug
gest a few attempts to learn
the spoke dance. I'll guarantee
that even if you don't master
the trick, you will loose a lot
of unnecessary weight and feel
one-hundred per cent better.
Alio, with this type of exercise,
you may eat what you desire
and as much as you wish.
In my next and concluding
lesson in this series I will de
scribe "The Juggle." This is
another trick that is very spec
tacular, and while it Is not as
strenuous as the spoke dance,
after you master it, you will
find that it gives you a good
workout
Remember that I'm personal
ly interested in each one of you
rope spinners and like to hear
from you. Drop me a line in
care of this newspaper and let
me know how you are pro
gressing. I would also like to
meet you so if it is possible,

BK II. S. VIEWED
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21 (AP)
The possibility of Import con
trol by the United States a
hitherto unlooked for step in
foreign trade regulation
aroused considerable speculation
Friday.
The first guarded hint that
any such idea was under con
sideration came from Colonel
Russell L. Maxwell, administra
tor of export control, during a
review of the work done by his
six-months old agency in pre
venting vital defense materials
from being shipped out of the
country.
"Many student of the situ
ation, experts in their fields,
have pointed out" he said, "that
the control of imports as well as
exports, is a major problem re
quiring early solution." .
This bare one-sentence refer
ence to the subject occurred at
the end of the 2,000 word prog
ress report he delivered last
night. There was no amplifi
cation and, with one exception,
available government officials
professed lack of knowledge on
any plans to impose import con
trols. One source, however, said the
matter was being given serious
study and that while action
should not be considered Immi
nent, something might be done
In the future.
He was asked what purpose
would be served by such a
move, inasmuch as the United
States, unlike warring nations
today, was not under pressure
to conserve exchange, or. to dis
courage the purchase of so-
caiied luxury goods from other
nations.
The reply was that imposition
of an import control system
would provide the United States
with another economic weapon
which could be employed if
events dictated.

"a table and some chairs, a sheet
and pillow case, and some knives

SEATTLE, Dec. 21 Mr Cash
registers are ringing up tha big

headquarters of Dun and Brad

The mercantile agency said re
ports from department store
contained news of record-breaking
sales and in some instances,
in Seattle and Tacoma, they were
running 13 to 20 per cent ahead
of the boom days of 1929.
All lines of goods are moving
so swiftly, Dun's said, that some
stocks have already been deplet
ed while other inventories are
exceptionally low.
It said heavy Christmas shop
ping started earlier than in any
previous year and was contin

Dun's flatly predicted a 1941

ally on the state's half a billion
dollars worth of defense orders.
New . passenger automobile
sales were, running nearly 30
per cent ahead of last year in
Washington and Oregon; carload
inga are the best In a decade.
Christmas mail was the heav
