Community Choral Service In Bath On Xmas Evening
Services   To Be Held in St John's Lutheran
Church—Three Part Program, Sunday
School Public School and Church
A radical departure from the old established Christmas festival will be Inaugurated this year. Instead cf four Christmas festivals there will he one, a Community Choral Ser¬ vice, in St, John's Evangelical Luth¬ eran church, on Christmas night, from 5.30 to 6.30 o'clock. The au¬ dience will be divided into three choirs, the Altar Choir, occupying the choir loft, and chancel, 7 5 voices. The Echo Chorus, comprising all the school children of Bath, will occupy the gallery and will be designated as the Children's Choir. The Third Choir will be the audience in the pews.
The organ and piano will be used to accompany these three choirs', singing separately or ensemble. The Trombone Choir ot the Nazareth Mo¬ ravian  church,   under  the   direction
of Mr. Kreidler, will assist with fan¬ fare of trumpets, echoes and the an¬ nouncement of hymns and carols. The rendering of the Classic Christ¬ mas ctirols will be antiphonally, a feature that promises much by way of interrupting these hymns, that have sur-vlved the wreck ot inferior music. In addition, the worship will embody the feature ot "giving," and every person attending the festival is supposed to bring some gift, v/rapped in white, aad plainly marked as to destination, A com¬ mittee will gather these gifts and send them to the various homes and orphanages and hospitalg. No offer¬ ing will be taken, but inoney with V. hich to send the gifts may be con¬ tributed. The decorations ¦^U be chaste and simple.—Bath News.

At the regular meeting of the Dickens Fellowship, held at the home of Mrs. Brockman, on Tuesday evening, December 6, the wonderful spirit of Dickens' "Christmas Carol," and the story of "Tiny Tim," which it contains, moved one ot the mem¬ bers to suggest that the Fellowship undertake the project of a commun¬ ity Christmas tree, now so popular In many towns and cities, with the special Idea of giving ail the children of Nazareth an unusual Christmas.
Miss Emma Stocker and Mrs. Warren Siegfried were appointed a committee to ascertain whether such an idea would meet wltli popular ap¬ proval, and. If so, to arrange the ne¬ cessary details.    The committee has
met with the most enthusiastic re¬ sponse, so that It can be definitely announced that Nazareth will have a community tree this Christmas.'

Howard Shinier w^as master of i ceremonies, and proved fully equal t'l the occasion. In his opening speech, he sowed seeds which blos¬ somed forth with good fruit.

"Experts may be right about the waning ot the gasoline supply, but that should cause no alarm over any possible motor fuel shortage. For science is developing substances which promise joy riding for motor¬ ists for ages to come.
In fact, so many possibilities are undergoing experiment even now that there is no prospect ahead ot any shortage at all. And by the time these sources are drained—if ever— it would not be amiss to predict that scientists will have developed a method ot drawing motor fuel from air. Which would be final assurance cf a fuel supply as long as man lives. To show how far off is the prob¬ ability of any sort ot fuel shortage. here is a list of "subjects" with which scientists are experimenting for future power:
Alcohol, acjtol, shalene or shale oil gas. molasses gas. cane sugar gas, rice straw gas, ordinary straw gas, tetralene and  naphthalene.
All this, after fhe sources for gasoline, benzol and kerosene are ex¬ hausted!
The pres^ent supply of gasoline is good for another generation, accord¬ ing to a recent geological survey. Benzol will be here as long as coal and wood exist. It is a by product of coke. Kerosene, product of coal and petroleum, is being used exten¬ sively, with gasoline as a starter. *• Of the experimental sources now being delved into, the shale fields ot Colorado and other western states are most promising. Shalene, deriv¬ ed from the shale rock, is expected to keep engines going for several generations, and at a cheaper rate than gasoline.
In England and Australia, experi¬ ments are being conducted with al¬ cohol as a motor fuel. An alcoholic compound called "acetol" has actu¬ ally proved its worth as a powerful motor fuel. But Its price, at pres¬ ent, is too high tor general use.
Besides these, "motor spirits" have been taken from sugar cane and molasses. The United States bureau of mines has succeeded in getting fuel gas from ordinary straw, while Sir Charles Bedford ot England has a scheme for obtaining alcohol fuel from rice straw, bamboo and elephant and savannah grasses.
The latest step has been taken In Germany, where naphthaline has been developed into a new liquid compound    called     tetraline.     Both
