How much should I give
to make this a better world?
CERTAIN man in New York filled out his
income tax report.
It showed an income so large that his tax was
53%. And his total gifts to church and char­
ity for the year ^ere $148.
Think of it—thousands spent for luxuries and
pleasure for himself; and $148 to leave the world
a little better than he found it!
Most of us do better than that; but not so very
much better.
Our average daily gift for all church causes is

No wonder that 80% of the ministers of America
are paid less than $20 a week. No wonder that
the church hospitals turn away thousands of sick
people a year. No wonder that China has only
one doctor for every 400,000 people. No wonder
that every church board and charity society is
forever meeting deficits, forever passing the hat.
It isn’t because we are selfish; it isn’t because ws
don’t want to help. It’s just because no one has ever put
tip a great big program to us, and asked us to think of ths
work of the church in a systematic businesslike way.
I
The Interchurch World Movement represents the united
program of thirty denominations. They have surveyed
their whole task, no business could have done it better.
They have budgeted th«ir needs; no business could have
amor« scientific budget. They have united to prevent the
possibility of waste and duplication. At least a million dol­
lars will be saved by the fact that thirty individual cam­
paigns are joined in one united effort.
And they come to the men or women .who love America
—to you— this week asking you to use them ss the chan­
nel through which a certain definite part of your income
can be be applied to make this a better world.
Only you can determine what part of your income that
should be.
It’s a good time right now to answer that question.
We’re passing through the world just once; how much
better will the world be because you passed through?

Christmas Festivities Would Not Be
Complete Without the Holly and
the Mistletoe.
Several thousand tons of holly as
well 11s hundreds of tons of mistletoe
are shipped over the railroads each
year before the opening of the holi­
day season. The mistletoe is placed
In small packages because it is easy
to break off the tiny white bells, and
the plant Is more rare and costly.
Holly abounds all over the world,
over 1<X) species having been deter­
mined, but only 14 varieties are to he
found in the United States. Tlie finest
American species of holly is the Ilex
Opaca, but the mountain holly is also
a choice variety. The English holly
has a sturdier leaf, and a more vivid
and lustrous green. The wood of the I
holly is very hard and smooth in the I
grain, and is almost equal to box- I
| wood for engraving purposes, while ,
its leaves are the emblem of fore- I
thought because of the protection glv- I
en to tlie buds by the defensive
!
thorns.
The holly, however, is not so high­
ly prized for the Christmas season as
the mistletoe, which is rare, delicate
and beautiful and the source of many
ancient Druidic legends. In tlie Unit­
ed States mistletoe Is chiefly found in
the southern states, while that used
In England is chiefly produced in the
orchards of Normandy, It is also the
state flower of Oklahoma’.
,,
Orange Blossoms and Brides.
Various theories have been given
regarding (lie use of orange blossoms i
as bridal ornaments.
The cus­
tom Is supposed to have been brought
to Europe by the Crusaders from the
East, the Saracen brides being accus­
tomed to wear orange wreaths at
their marriage. To this objection was
raised that although the orange tree
was brought to England as early as
1290, It was long before there was
any real cultivation of It even in
greenhouses. A second theory Is that
orange blossoms came to be worn by
brides on their marriage because they
were not only scented but also were
rare and costly, and so within the
reach of only the noble and rich, that
Indicating the bride hail to be of high
rank. A third Is that orange brldnl
wreaths had their origin in Spain,
where oranges have been cultivated
for centuries. Thence the fashion
passed to France, and by means of
French millinery was spread to other
lands.

Fish Comfortable Under Ice.
tive Way of Dealing With the Col­
ony’s Undesirables.
Deportation of “undesirables” Is not
an Innovation In this country. The
Pilgrim Fathers, confronted with the
problem of dealing with malcontents
among them, shipped the disgruntled
ones overseas. Governor Bradford's
story of the Plymouth colony shows
how things were done in those days.
According to Bradford’s story the
“reds” in the Plymouth colony were
represented by John Llford and John
Oldham, who conspired together, both
against the church and the govern­
ment of the colony, endeavoring to en­
tice others with them. Oldham re­
fused duty when called upon by Ca[>-
taln Standish, whereupon It was deter­
mined to place Oldham and Llford on
trial, all the members of the colony
being present. They were convicted,
the court ordering them expelled from
the colony, both being deported ulti­
mately.
Oldham came once again to the col­
ony and created a serious breach of
the peace, whereupon “they committed
him till he was tamer, and then ap­
pointed n guard of musketeers which
lie was to pass through, and everyone
wns ordered to give him a thump on
ye birch, with ye butt end of his mus­
ket and then was conveyed to ye wa­
terside. where a boat was ready to
carry him away. Then they bid him
goe and tneude his maners.”

Eucalyptus trees planted on trop-
leal mountain sides wotild produce
fuel at the rate of 20 tons, dry weight
(60 pounds to the cubic foot), per
acre annually. This In perpetuity,

An acre of eucalypts in the tropics,

Janitor Rang Class Gong.
New York university has just come
into possession of an originai photo­
graph of the first janitor of that insti­
tution, equipped with the gong and
stick with which he called the stu­
dents to classes, says the New York
Evening Sun.

Promptly on the hour he w ould pro-

gong stick in the other. Pausing out­
side the classrooms, he would heat his
tattoo until the professor ceased his
lecture and the students moved on to

WELL ENDOWED BY NATURE
Mountain Goat Thoroughly Equipped
for Life In High Altitudes Amid
Snow and Rock*.
“The mountain goat is equally at
home on rock. Ice, snow or meadow,
and It lives in bands of two to twenty,”
says Dr. William T. Hornaday, writing
of “The Rocky Mountain Goat at
Home,” In Boys’ Life. "Its big idack
hoofs have chisel edges for Ice and a
center of rubber cushion for slippery
rock. In steep climbing the front of
the hoof digs in like a garden trowel,
and In going down steep places the
rear dekvdaws make wonderfully effec­
tive brakes. The heavy coat of fine
and dense white wool is impervious to
dry cold, but the wet ami cold rains of
New York winters quickly put moun­
tain goats down and out. In the East
they must be sheltered from all cold
rains, or they contract pneumonia and
die. Of dry cold they can endure any
amount.
“In the matter of food, we must say
that the goat is herbivorous, and ex-
plnfn that It feeds on a great variety
of mountain plants, according to sea­
son. On the summits they find very
little real grass, hut they find pul-
satflla and other queer pasture plant,«
that are literally ’just as good.’ In the
spring they feed on the wild onions
that grow abundantly in their home
pastures, which Imparts to their flesh
a strong onion flavor.”

Memory System,
A
middle-aged suburbanite over-
taken on his Saturday afternoon stroll
by a young mnrrled friend whom he
knew was taking a memory-training
course, inquired as to the progress
made. “Doing fine I” was the reply.
“Fill your pipe from my pouch and I'll
tell you while we perambulute.” But
the last word was hardly uttered when
he made a right-about-face and re­
turned at the double on his tracks. In
the evening the middle-aged man
called to return the pouch. “Thanks,”
smiled the owner. “You'd wonder why
I left you so abruptly. Law of associ­
ation—worked beautifully. The word
‘tobacco,’ followed by ’perambulate’
reminded me of something.” “Impor­
tant?” "Well—yes. Don’t breathe a

REALLY A CHAMELEON CITY
Barcelona Is the chameleon city of
Spain. In some quarters of the city
the streets are narrower and more
crooked than those of old London,
while In others are avenues, boule­
vards, shops and cafes which vie with
those of Paris. The city has an aris­
tocracy which lives so fur in the past
that Its scions still deplore the dis­
covery of America, according to a
bulletin of the National Geographic
society.
Until 1492 Barcelona was the New
York of the Mediterranean, Colum-
bus’ voyage was considered a Mt of
impertinence on the part of the Cas-
tilian government to upset the bal-
ance of trade in favor of clties in
western and southern Spain, As a
result a movement swept the Catalan
provinces, of which Barcelona Is the
center, for annexation to Frame, the
revolt against Philip IV in UDO re­
sulting in the district giving itself
over to French protection.
Catalonia's old allegiance, however,
wns renewed in 1632, four centuries
Inter the resentment ameliorating
enough to permit the placing of a
statue of Christopher Columbus in the
Rambla, Fifth avenue of Barcelona.
After the Spanish-American war mobs
of Barcelona citizens stoned and egged
the explorer’s statue "ns punishment
for having ventured to find so trouble­
some a new world for Spain.”
