—■ TOMMY BURNS TURNS ADVISER ON MARRIAGES Houston, Tex. —(UP) — Tommy Burns, former world heavyweight boxing champion, has drawn up a list of "Ten commandments." for matrimony. They are: Take your marriage a* seriously a* a champion takes his sport. No athlete makes a success without sacrificing good times, so-called Neither does a matrimonial couple. Baseball, bridge-playing and marriage demand team work. The first few rounds frequently are easy in prize fighting and in matrimony. It’s staying power that counts. No champion ever got where ho was without learning to ‘take it”. Neither has a successful marriage. Break clean from the clinches and forget your grudges. Don’t whine about your partner’s shortcomings. Erase from your dictionary the word jealousy. Burn your candle at one end: marriages and championship demand physical fitness. Following the trend ®f your courtship; keep your best front showing. o —— YEARS DEVOTED TO ASSEMBLING FURNITURE Jackson. Mich. —(UP) — Russell Carter, a young iman who resides here, has two hobbies —one is building miniature furniture and buildings and the other, is collecting guns. His collection of miniature furniture includes a table, six chairs, an extension dining table with extra leaves, a high chair, davenport, overstaffed chairs and tables with sliding drawers. Enough to outfit a miniature homeOs hie miniature buildings one is certain—a cow bam is his favorite. It is built to scale and complete in every detail, with 28 workable stanchions, grain bins with removable front boards. Doors and windows work perfectly and throughout the structure every beam and rafter is braced exactly as a large barn. He says he spent a year and a half completing this creation. Several guns of different makes are included among his collection. 0 U. S- Buys More French Wine Paris —(UP)—The United States stepped into fourth place as France's best wine customer during October. Belgium led, followed by Switzerland and Great Britain. Since August. Americans have been consuming more wine, and the United States jumped from sixth to fourth place. o Flower Plot Urged for Peace Kitchener, Ont.—(U.R) —A plot of flowers may be planted next summer in the International Peace Garden between Manitoba and North DaTcota to symbolize the friendship between Canada and the United States. The idea was advanced at the Canadian Florists and Gardeners Association convention here recently.

<3 bWt ! i ». - ITla-IIU. l)Jko»>a» - j OBED wore n stripe' 1 tunic of J orange and white somewhat , ragged and dirty, though his • mother, Lara, wnsh.sl clothes for , other families In order to keep her- ij self and tenyear-ohl son from 'j starving. Yet you seldom noticed ; (•bed's ragged tunic because of his , vivid face. Ills skin was smooth > olive, his lips were red. and his dark eyes were the color of pools r at midnight. Obed sang a great' deal. If be heard a tune whistled 1; on the street he ran home singing it all the way. If he heard music | strummed in the bazaars, he’d lln- r ger near until he remembered i every note of It. But the whole world was a song for Obed. The sweet twitter of i! birds on dewy mornings. The sound of water lapping over sand, the very rumble of cart wheels over the cobble-stones thundered out its own rough music for the pleasure of ( his ears. "What help are you to a poor mother ... be gone with you!” t scolded Lara day after day. Obed laughed, t ver meaning to be i thoughtless or disobedient, having ears only for the music about him. : One evening late in December the longing for the shepherd's songs overcame him, and he slipped away i at dusk. He was gone all night and In the morning he looked a different boy. IBs cheeks were | pale. His lips did not smile, but there was a new and somber light I shining in his dark eyes. This time i his mother gazed at him in sorrow. | He saw how worn she was, and he ; kissed her. "I cannot say I’m sor- | ry,” he hesitated, “Not even now i can I tell you.” His tunic was worn and stained. He wore a , ragged sheep skin about his shoul- ; ders. On this lie sank down in his own corner_and went to sleep. When he woke his face was flushed and rosy. He knelt on the floor and looked at the busy street below. Then he opened his lips and a song of such joy and purity flowed out on the air as to make everyone stop and listen. Up and up soared the rapturous notes, seeming to pos- j sess a visible radiance of their own. Obed sang no words, but the music charmed every ear that heard it His mother stood b< hind him, her hands for once idle at their task. The tired lines on her face melted into peace. Her eyes looked far away. Clearer and clearer the exquisite melody’ continued, and died on a faint sweet note of ecstasy. People listening below shook their heads and moved on as if awakened from a dream. "Where, my son, did yon hear that song!" Lara spoke in a whisper. “In the skies, my mother. It came with wings and trumpets.” “Do not tell falsehoods about such divine melody.” Obed's eyes shone, but he would say no more. He hoarded the song in his heart. One evening, however, when the sky was clear and the stars shone like jewels, the boy was moved to sing again the beautiful, nameless music. When it was finished a 'knock came at the door. Lara opened ft to a black servant who bowed low. “My master, the Prince, desires to know who sang that song." Lara, trembling with fear, pointed to Obed who stood near an open window. A tall figure dressed In rich furs and embroidered tunic pushed his servant aside. "If the singer and his mother will honor my court with a visit, they shall be conducted hither with safety.” The voice was deep. "I am a prince from a distant country, who came to pay homage to the new King born in a stable. On my way to that stable,” his piercing eyes looked at Obed, “and from afar off, I heard the song your son has just sung. It came dropping from the skies . . . angels' heavenly voices and trumpets. If my people could hear that music,” his voice softened, "I'm sure they would all become faithful followers of the Babe Jesus. I promise you comfort, both of you, for all your years.” So Lara and Obed quickly prepared for the journey, and Obed sang the angels’ song, as he remembered It, in the court of the prince, so that he and his kingdom became thereafter faithful followers of the Babe Jesus. © Western Newspaper Union.
