HAPPY DAYS FOR READINGSHOPMEN Some 'Employes Disappointed Because Names Are Not on List Rending, Pa., Dec. 24.—A1l of the mechanics and other employes about the shops of the Reading Railway Company are now receiving their back pay which was allowed them from May 1, last. According to the statement of an official of the com pany in this city the average to each man did not exceed 140. They were allowed four cents an hour. The amount paid out in Reading aggre gated many thousands of dollars. It is said that the amount of back pay the men were entitled to all over the I Reading system aggregates J150.000. Some Dinnppointed. j Many of the foremen employed by 1 the Reading Railway Company about ,! the shops, not only in this city but at other points along the system, . complain that they are not being treated fairly. They claim that be cause they are monthly men they are i not entitled to any increase in pay. It is said that they are not permitted to , become affiliated with the unions. The shop men on the Central Rail road of New Jersey are being paid the overtime allowed by the U. S. I railway administration from May 1 last. The back money will average about the same as that on the Read ing. • Rev. Homer C. Knox to Speak at Mission | The Rev. Homer C.

"Peace On Earth, Good Will Toward Men." This was followed by a stillness and a voice which told me I had been used by God to invite the world to meet its Savior. How miserably I have failed, said I, for only a few men came. "Failed," said the voice; "know you not that they were the Wise Men." Suddenly my brilliance left me, and for years I pondered over the toil of that night. Through these many centuries I have learned much, and now it is all plain and simple. From my far away place in the sky • I have observed, that God is now j using men to do His work, j What a change I note in these men j from the very moment they begin I doing God's will. I How bright they become. Indeed so bright that I can always pick them out of a crowd. How the same light that filled me, ' now abounds in them.

The men interested in the project estimate a saving of not loss than 3,000.000 a year in rent alone, and other similar economies, they say, will effectively slush the Ills'- cost of living as re gards women s garments."

I Ipld early morning: Christmas ser- j Ice to-morrow morning at 8 o'clock. The same beautiful simplicity which I Slacked the Candle Light Service of! Sunday night will marl; the early' morning service. The service will be opened by the ! choir in the choir rooms, singing \ "Joy to the World." This gives the' effect of distance and echo and as was noted on Sunday evening greatly enhanced the beauty of the hymn. Mrs. Lee Izer, soprano soloist, will render Ton's "The Infant Jesus" and, the choir will sing William's "Bright and Joyful Is the Morn." The Rev. Dr. H. W. A. Benson' pastor, will deliver the Christmas! message, speaking on "The Passing' and the Permanent Elements in the ! Christmas Season." Simplicity will I mark the service. The familiar Christmas hymns will be used. Forty Feet of Material Goes Into India Turban In certain parts of the world, where | exposure either to extreme heat or | cold is a great danger, we find hats | designed primarily for protection. Cu- I riously enough, with all our modern I discoveries, we have not yet been able I to improve on these types, and ex-1 plorers of to-day resort to the gar- I nit nts and methods of protection in | use among 7>eoplcs in such zones of danger The sub-arctic people from the frozen tungas wear a snugly-fit ting bonnet witli ear laps, designed to exclude the cold as well as to con serve the heat. Although the utili tarian side is the essential feature, and each of the twenty or more little ! pieces used in the construction of the | bonnet are necessary to make the j shape, the people who wear this head gear have adapted ornamentation to! its limitations. Fur is the basic material, but there arc effective inserts of different col ored strips of leather, some of which are woven with leather of a contrast ing shade. In introducing the bright colors they depend almost entirely I 011 quill work, although occasionally bits of trade cloth are used. The aes thetic value of the colors, in a cold climate, is an important aspect of this type of head covering, which re mains structural and in good taste. In India we find the turban worn to protect the head from excessive heat, the thickness varying according 1 to the climate in each locality. These turbans are made of cloth of from 2') to 40 feet long and from 12 to 18 inches wide, and are wrapped around the head in endless variety, according to rank and taste All those who can afiord it wear a band of ten or twelve feet long, made either partly or whol ly of gold thread, on top of the tur ban There are a number of accessor ies worn in combination with the tur ban. One beautiful ornament, limited to the use of kings, princes and no bles, is a beautifully embroidered vel vet band about six inches long and two broad, into the middle of which ! i inserted a gold plate set with prec | ious stones. This is worn obliquely I in front of the turban, and the band i is tied behind by means of a silk | thread fastened to each end. I The natives of the Philippines and! I South Sea Islands wear large sun hats as a protection from the heat. Palm leaves of various kinds furnish the material generally used, but the I | shapes differ Some are woven flat | and some with a peak. The common- i ; est form in the Philippines is made of! | paint leaves covered with cane, a ; j cane bandeau giving an air space j j above the head. The ornamentation i of these hats is very simple. No col- ' I ors are used with the exception of ! | blown, which is occasionally intro- I 1 duced in the use of hemp . In China we find, in addition to the j large peaked coolie hat used as a pro ! tection against heat, that hat which j jis emblematic of rank. The social j ! position of a Manehu woman, for in- i j stance, could be always determined ! | by the ornaments on her bonnet, of- | ton consisting 'of precious jewels. I These hats ranged in price from a j | few dollars to as high as SIO,OOO | apiece, making our so-called extrava- j gant hats of sound cheap in comparison. One of the most interesting speci mens on exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum is a hat covered with deli- I cute ornaments of turquois blue king- ! fisher's feathers in imitation of jewels I formerly used, fastened to a frame | of a stiff black open mesh These or- ! naments, which are made with a met- ! al foundation, stand out about half j ati inch from the hat itself, and are j beautiful both in design and color. It is easy to imagine the life of inac tive, passive luxury that developed such a type of head covering. .
