nemies, The Puritans would have -
none of it, and even in the eighteenth
century it. was 'a forbidden delicacy
to a large number of clergymen. Dur-
ing the Commonwealth the holding of
Christmas festivals was forbidden. In
1644 Parliament passed an Act or-
dering all citizens to observe Christ-
mas Day as a solemn fast, to be
spent in silent atonement for prev-
ious festivals tilat had passed in riot-
ous living and merry -making. This
order remained in force for twelve
years. The authorities in several
towns tried to reduce Christmas Day
to the level of other days. In
Cantelbury, by order of the mayor, it
was proclaimed that "Christmas day
and all other superstitious festivals
should be put down." People who
attended service in the cathedral
were mobbed. The inhabitants form-
ed themselves into 'two parties and
feeling in the matter frequently re-
sulted in the exchange of blows. In
1652 it .was proclaimed that "no ob-
servation shall be had of the Live and
twentieth day of D'eeember, common-
ly called Christmas Day, nor any
solemnity used or exercised in
churches." This order was enforced
by soldiers. Ovens and larders were
searched, and where seasonable dain-
ties or decorations were found they
were carried off and destroyed. A
changed attitude towards the Puritan
hatred of Christmas came with the
restoration of King Charles.-

SLEEPING SICKNESS IS

Paris Medical Society on the subject.

The Building Trade.
Canada has been hearing much of
the reconstruction measures a4opted
in British industry, but little of defi-
nite result. R. C. Feld, in ;the New
York Times, tells of actual develop-
ments In the building industry. Near-
ly three years ago the Building
Trades Parliament for the nation was
ergauized. How has it functioned?
In the first place, practically all
the workers have been brought into
the unions and the unldns into the
council. A similar unanimity 1n as-
sociation has been obtained on the
side of the employers. This means
that the forces inside the Parliament
can provide• the management, capital
and labor to undertake any building
program. -
_"There are towns in England, to-
day, for instance, which give their
building contracla directly to the
council instead of hawking them
around to the lowest bidder," says
Mr. Feld. "It so happens that tie
local centralized and highly organiz-
ed committee proves the lowest bid-
der. This has been no small incen-
tive to the speeding up of building
in England."
For the present the council is
turning toward measures to end un-
employment. • The guild socialists are
trying to break up the council and
substitute control by labor for Joint
control, but their success is problem-
atical; to much has been accomplish-
ed under council auspices in secur- !
Ing harmony and progress.
