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. TShcmsi U of m AFRICAN PROVERBS 'Repetition is the mother of knowledge. i Morning will remove a diffieul ty. An easy life ia the death of valor. Death treats an men tr.ike. Today’s instalment of this ' se ries trn the proverbs of the va rious peoples, is made up of ax ioms of African tribes: Do not build your hope upon the word of any m%n and you will not be disappointed. Ignorance and want are allies. The heart is never satisfied. A big dog and a little dog wilF not quarrel over a bone. The foolishness of a man will not become as quickly known as that of a woman. Criticism and calumny cannot hurt a good man. Peace is made by the edge of the swobd. Lawmakers—lawbreakers. Water never loses its way. There are 40 kinds of lunacy, but only one kind of common sense. . * *"V , Laziness and want are always found together. A promise is a debt. The best morsels are never given to a beggar. A single passenger will not cause the canoe to sink. No slave can free another. A lie has seven variations; a truthful story none at all. Leniency will never pay a debt. Every quarrel has a cause. Ill news is fleet of foot. A raindrop is the beginning of a flood. » First to make a mistake—first to be laughed at. Two swords will not fit into one scabbard.

MANY ON FARM, SURVEY SHOWS. _ There than , 1,000,000 . are more " omen en * a * ed as farmers in the United State8 - approximately 20 P* r cent ot whom * re owners and managers of their own farms, spe cializin * in drying, truck gar denin *- Poultry, fruit, flowers or b *«< * the bureau of vocat,onal information, which has i u,t completed a survey of the ‘ rainin * available to women in 23 Professions and allied occupa t on8, 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 ed in 1920 than in f910.

CONGRESSMAN KAHN ----------DIES IN CALIFORNIA San Francisco, Dec. 19.—Julius Kahn, for 24 years representative in congress from the fourth Cal ifornia district, and chairman of the Ijouse military affairs commit tee # for many sessions, died here yesterday after an extended ness. Mr. Kahn is the second con gressman from this district to die within slightly more than a year. The other was John I. Nolan, who died in December, 1923.

GRIFFIN DAILY NEWS musicians have increased during the same period, taking aver to a large extent the supervisory , positions in public school instruc tion in music. Women, on the other hand, are going slowly into the field of music as composers and members of orchestras. Women as Architects. U Architecture also shows p de crease in the number of women engaged in it, although women have done notable work in domes tic architecture, a corner of the field which they have, by natural instinct, invaded first, “Women pioneers in the engi neering profession numbered ten in 1910} in 1920 the number re corded as technical engineers had increased to 41, which did not include 1,986 women counted as draftsmen. Women are doing successful work as illuminating engineers with public utility companies, as radio engineers in experimental work, as industrial statisticians and as consulting industrial engi neers and in a few instances, as teachers in engineering schools. There are instances of women trained in engineering who have become manufacturers.” DinkerStopoes An ancient car chugged pain fully up to the gate at the races. ■ The gate keeper demanding the usual fee for automobiles, call ed: “A dollar for the ear.
