Tet Christmas itself had not been a bit of a blue day. It was their first Christmas together to begin with, and the Joy, the wonder, the triumph of Jamie actually filled her entire thoughts.

When she brought him the boofcr her eyes were rimmed in great red circles, but Jamie, impatient to be off, did not notice, or thought the redness came from her cold. As the front door banged after him, camphor bottle In hand, Maggie sank back in the nearest armchair and gave herself up to being mlserubler But Jamie wtbs gone over an hour-ti- me for conscience and camphor to work, mill thoroughly ashamed of herself, her head much clearer, she greeted his return with rising spirits, which fell precipitously when he nonchalant ly Informed her he had Invited over the Blylys and Joen Thornton and his wife and the XIopkIns girl to spend the evening and eat plum pudding with them. Oh, Jamie, "why did you? fihe said despairingly. I feel like anything but company tonight" But the guests had been Invited and there was nothing to do but make the best of It Yet us gallantly as she tried, the poor, little bride could not shake off her homesick forlornness. It was five minutes of .12 by the clock when the hot chocoliving-roolate and the plum pudding In Its blaze of glory were brought in, and as the first stroke of midnight fell upon their talk and laughter, with lifted cups, all sprang to their feet and drank to the new year, deep and long.

K GERMAN BOMBING PARTY BEING DRIVEN BACK BY THE FRENCH : i An energetic and Influential organization on the Pacific const, the California State Automobile association, has carried on some Investigations affording definite figures of the value of good roads. It secured the help of Prof. J. B. Davidson of the University of California and Austin B. Fletcher, state highway engineer, In carrying on a large number of tests of the pull required to move a standard farm wagon louded to make the gross weight 6.000 pounds. This wagon was hauled la some cases by a two-to- n track and In other cases by a team of good draft horses, weighing about 1,000 pounds each. Tests have shown that a pull of 27 to 30 pounds per ton of gross load was the wagon on unsur- needed to haul q faced concrete roads. When the concrete was surfaced with oil and screenings the pull was Increased to about 50 pounds. About 65 pounds were needed . macadam for hauling on water-bonnand on bituminous concrete laid on top of cement concrete. On good gravel roads a pull of 65 to 82 pounds was needed, while on loose gravel the pull was 203 pounds, the highest record In any. of tho tests. About 80 pounds were required for hauling on bituminous macadam. On earth ronds 02 pounds were required for hauling over a good surface covered with 1 inches of loose dust, 09 pounds over an ordl- d VIIfH- Iri-il- '; - i j i 4 s V K zsd&V&EZ w'T- - This photograph, taken by a Germuu oflieer who deserted and lied to Holland, shows f the ahcU being driven back by sln.uhe Five of the seven have been shot down.

One of the guides In Glacier National Park, says Outing, Us, or was, named Mike Shannon. lie was born with the usual Irish sense of humor, but there are some tourist vagaries that are beyond the range of even his generous comprehension. Once upon a time he guided a nature-lovin- g lady ..of snore .ttun generous Mounting her physical proportions. horse and dismounting was a task that taxed all her powers and incidentally most of Mikes as well. At a particularly bad place In the trail a majestic pine towered from the steep slope.

The significance of these figures lies in the fact that on a good earth road it Is necessary to exert three times the pull that 1b required on a con-crete road, and nearly twice the pull required on a macadam road. Fur- thermore, when the earth road becomes muddy, a condition which does not affect traffic on good pavements, the pull Is more than doubled. - i v -- V..
