“MERRY CHRISTMAS w
K Did you ever stop to analyze
. this expression? *
As a general proposition this is
/ a tough old world and the burden
of responsibilities often choke the
fountain of merriment. I
A The charm of Christmas is not
only in the expression we use, but
what Is In the heart behind it,
and to express this joy of living
is the aim of all Christmas liter
ature and customs,
*In order to produce this effect
it is not necessary that one should
sentimentalize over the world in
general.
The spring may ne in the des
ert, but its waters are none the
less refreshing.
-
One may find joy in an oasis.
K# In fact, the Christmas spirit
may manifest itself against a
tragic background.
To a healthy child this is the
tom. easiest thing in the world.
He asks for nothing but what
he finds, and he finds instantly
what he asks for.
To him the law of supply and
demand represents no \dismal
* science.
Everything is equally surpris
.. ing and familiar. ^
His joys are in the moment and
are marred by no forebodings.
llsi The fountain of life is bubbling
fresh and pure.
>;/■ / This is the reason why food and
drink ‘are so important in the
Christmas program.
It is a sign of good cheer that
Is substantial.
^ The Christmas goose is a visible
|gf symbol be of postponed. an enjoyment that is
not to
I? And the crackling Christmas
t fire and the Christmas greens and
the jovial company of friends who
make no demands upon one an
n other, hut are ready to share in
sented, any pleasant thing that is pre
have the same character
& of hearty actuality.
- Whatever may come before and
whatever may follow, the hour is
blessedly real and it may be lived
right merrily.
To those who give us compan
ionship; to those who give sympa
thy in our joys and sorrows; to
those who reach out helping hands
in tipies of trouble and do a
thousand acts of kindness, and to
all our fellow creatures, we ex
tend sincere wishes for a really
“Merry Christmas.”
- IN FAIRNESS TO OUR POSTAL
WORKERS
On one pretext or another Re
publican senators have sought to
prevent the Postal Employees-’
Salary Bill being again brought
to a vote.
They have good reason to be
lieve that, if a test were mad'. 1 ,
I the president'* veto would be
overruled.
. One plan for blocking the bili
is to tie up the question of in
creased pay for postal workers
with that of higher postal rates.
■
If that were done it would raise
new* ijects for controversy and
in a robability no. action could
be obtained this session.
For the readjustment of postal
rates, once the matter was re
opened, would lead to endless diB
cussiin.
It would virtually make certain
, the failure of any measure rais
ing the postal workers’ pay.
That may be strongest reason
with certain senators for reviving
at this moment the complicated
question of higher postal rates.
The postoffice employees are un
derpaid, are entitled to relief, and
both house end senate last s
to grant them relief.
They have a right to expect
fair treatment from congress.
THE GERMAN FIGHTS
JAZZ
German musician* have started
a drive against American jazz
bands, according to a Berlin de
spatch. Not in a ferocious na
tionalist spirit—oh, dear no
nothing like that.
Purely as a matter of business.
It seems the jazz artists lelv- ate'
getting all the engagements,
ing the oom-pah horn blowers a
little short of cash. , *
Thus once again we see Ameri
ca conquers the world.
American breakfast food, Amer
lean chewing ’gum, American jazz.
All warranted good for the
health and beneficial to the diges
tion.*
Particularly jazz.
It soothes the nerves, softens
the arteries, and promotes secre
tions in the alimentary tract.
On with the fray—and three
huzzas and a tiger for the jazz
bands,
A tight shoe may make a wo
man’s foot look pretty, but it
makes her face look ugly.
Never give a deadbeat anything,
he’ll come back for more. Just
.lend it to him.

Gentle means will often accom
plish what force and fury can
never effect.

The survey, it is explained, was
made possible on a grant from one
of the educational foundations,
and is the most important of a
series of surveys published by the
bureau dealing with occupational
opportunities for women.
5,000 Courses.
After considering more ‘than
8,000 training courses the bureau
has prepared not only a “selected
list of training facilities,” but in
dicated for each field the types of
training which are coming to be
generally accepted as the best. It
also shows the training opportun
ities for women which meet the
standardized requirements in each
profession in every state, with a
summary of the occupational op
portunities, the preparation re
quired, the reward offered, the
methods of entrance and the lines
of promotion,
While nearly 2,000,000 women
are engaged in business, only 2
pej cent are owners, managers,
officers, foremen and overseers,
the survey shows. This is laid to
the prejudice against giving wo
men administrative experience,
and to women’s “too frequent
temporary attitude toward busi
ness”. Women are warned
against the tendency to train for
technical work, such as secre
tarial positions, instead of elect
ing the broader preparations in
business offered by collegiate
schools. The report says:
u Music is one of the profes
sions which shows a drop in its
women members for the last 10
years, 11,800 fewer being record

panion of St. Michael and St.
George, a Knight Commander of
St. Michael and St. George and

The teacher was explaining to a

“A collision," she said, “is when
two things come together unex

me an example of a collision.”
“Twins!” said the class idiot.
