TO RELIEVE CHRISTMAS SHOPPING RUSH.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir; A movement is on foot to relieve as far as
possible the overworked clerks and shopgirls OF
the big department stores during the holiday rush
Ihis movement has been started by the Consumers
League OF New Jersey TO relieve the shopping con-
ditions as far as possible in the Newark stores
Some stores are open from $50 a. m. TO Il p. m
foT nearly two weeks preceding Christmas. These
long hours are not made necessary by the greed
OF the shopkeepers, but by the habit into which
the purchasing public has fallen OF orowdiug the
holiday shopping into the last few days
This results In overwork and actual suffering on
the part OF statesmen, salesgirls package girls
delivery boys and messengers, TO a degree which
can hardly be appreciated. To relieve these condi.
ing rules is advised:
F1rst.sh0p early; not later than December 15.
Second-Shop early in the day.
ThiTd-Requesr that packages be sent after
?. IN. ~
Foprth-Teephone your orders If possible
This last suggestion is perhaps better than anv
OF the othNr Hree. for If telephones he is not
only saving his own time but the time of the clerks
IN the store, and avoids adding the crush in the
stores.
II these SUGGESTIONS are pertinent to conditions in
Newark. how much more applica ble are thev 10
conditions existing in New York stores?

sAGAcIOUs RATS.

From Christian Work and Evangelist
An unfortunate New Hampshire housewife OF our
acquaintance had laid in gOodly supply OF fresh
eggs. The cellar of Lne house was infested by
rats and these had M sooner discovered the
whereabouts of the eggs than they determined TO
repenish their own stores below stairs with them.
How this to be effected The cellar steps were
steep and long. and the eggs brittle. But the
rats had their wits about them. One large rat
turned himself onto his back, claSped an egg
firmly between his four paws. and then allowed
his numerous friends TO push and pull him in this
position to the top Of the cellar stairs. or rather
steps. On the first step crowd Of rats were in
waiting. The with the egg was pushed over
the edge by those above. and received the open
arms OF those below. This operation repeated
until the egg reached the cellar in safety and
slowed away in the rats iarder-a glorious trophy
Of ingenuity and perseverance,. Many an egg had
disappeared in this mysterious way, and at last
the good housewife. suspectIns that rats were in
some way at the bottom OF ii, hid herself by the
cellar steps and watched She the whole per-
formance, and said she could scarcely credit the
sight Of her eyes marvellous was the sagacity
Of these little crea lures.

A woMAN,s VIEW OF DR.. cRApsEx

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: 7 fully indorse all that 'IAyrnan'' said n
your Mondays issue about the Rev. Dr Crapsev
My opinion about DR.. Crapsey is that he supposed
his views going to be received with applause
He thought people would swallow It all and he
would become quite famous as It were AS the
schoolboy would say. he thought he was doing
something smart" He did not think the Church
would dare turn him out. I give good rtddance
10 him and all who preach like him.
Also, would like to ask. Is it supposed that the
professional and recessionaI hymns are sung to the
praise Of the minister? I had an idea that hvmns
were sung 10 the praise Of God.
l see that in the closing Of the service ar
Rochester. when DR.. Crapsey preached his fare

heads. II would from this that the hymns
in that church have previously been sung 10 the
praise of Dr. CTapsey, not to glnrify God. H H
