Many Washington observers are of the opinion that the sale of automobile tires for passenger cars may be curtailed for sometime. Shortage of rubber Is not the only reason given. The Arvr.iy needs to occupy the entire j present capacit"/ of tire manufacturers for sometime it is said. Some expect a long term project of oss- ible 25 millions of dollars for rubber plantations In Texas, California and New Mexico with the thought that it would be at least four years before much rubber could be gathered, from such a source.

FIRST CHRISTMAS ROSE Ancient Legend of the First Christmas Rose. The story) of the birth ot the first Christmas rose, a legend of tiie 14th, century is this. On the night when the Angeffe sang to the shepherds of Bethlehem "Glory to God in use highest and on earth peace,' good wif.l toward men "a little girl stood by the shepherds and listened as they said one to another "Let US go even into Beth, lehem and see the thing jwhich has come to pass, which the Lord has made known unto us". She followed and, when she behei'Jd the wise men gathering at the Inn. and saw them present gifts of gold,' franklnsence and myrrh to the Chifd and Mother, she hung her head timidly back Ski the edge af the crowd, far her hands were empty. The Hook of joyi on the face of .the Mother and Babe filled her (with wonder, and she 'longed' to show her love. Having nothing to offer, she turned away and went silently out into the starry night ©la across the silent hif lh oif Judea. As she journeyed towards the flocks S light suddenly shone about her ana a low, uweat voice said "Little otoe, why do you carr-J sorrow In your heart " The child answered "Because I could carry no joy to the child of Bethlehem". The Spirit, whose robe was like marten silver, and |whose locks were like the sun, waved a li'y, and suddenly the ground was white with Christinas roses. The child knelt and fifed her arms With flowers, then hastened again to the Inn. where peop'ie made way far her, looking with wonder at tba burden she bore. As she reached the manger, the Hotyf One. turning from tiie gold of the magi, reached forth Hia tiny hands for! the blossoms and smiled aa the shepherds heaped them all about Him.

On the night when the Angeffe sang to the shepherds of Bethlehem "Glory to God in use highest and on earth peace,' good wif.l toward men "a little girl stood by the shepherds and listened as they said one to another "Let US go even into Beth, lehem and see the thing jwhich has come to pass, which the Lord has made known unto us". She followed and, when she behei'Jd the wise men gathering at the Inn. and saw them present gifts of gold,' franklnsence and myrrh to the Chifd and Mother, she hung her head timidly back Ski the edge af the crowd, far her hands were empty. The Hook of joyi on the face of .the Mother and Babe filled her (with wonder, and she 'longed' to show her love. Having nothing to offer, she turned away and went silently out into the starry night ©la across the silent hif lh oif Judea. As she journeyed towards the flocks S light suddenly shone about her ana a low, uweat voice said "Little otoe, why do you carr-J sorrow In your heart " The child answered "Because I could carry no joy to the child of Bethlehem". The Spirit, whose robe was like marten silver, and |whose locks were like the sun, waved a li'y, and suddenly the ground was white with Christinas roses. The child knelt and fifed her arms With flowers, then hastened again to the Inn. where peop'ie made way far her, looking with wonder at tba burden she bore. As she reached the manger, the Hotyf One. turning from tiie gold of the magi, reached forth Hia tiny hands for! the blossoms and smiled aa the shepherds heaped them all about Him.
