There are too many attachments to
our schools-indeed, it has come to
pass that they are schools and some
times more. They should be simply
schools. says the Indianapolis News.
At least social distractions should be
kept out of them. Parents. often at
large expense. send their children
away to boarding school that they may
have time for their studies and be
freed from the demands OF society.
But we are making our high schools
social institutions. This. we think, is
q tendency that should be checked.

HAGERSTOwN, Nd, December THE
funeral of Thomas Frederick Alvey, as
sistant assessor of the District of Columbia,
whose death occurred in the city hospital
at Frederick Wednesday morning. took place
here at 10 o'clock this morning. There
was a large attendance of relatives and

twenty from the assessors office, Wash
ington.
The body was taken from the home of
Mr.. Alveys mother on Prospect street to
ST. Mary's Roman Catholic Church where
the funeral services were held. Rev. Fa-
Their Smith of Frederick officiated, assisted
by Rev. Father Sebastian Rabbia of st.
Mary's Church. Requiem mass was sung
by an augmented choir, and at the close
of the service Miss Lucille Eisenhour OF
Frederick sang Lead, Kindly Light
There were many beautiful floral tributes,
including floral pail of white roses or
chids and violets, which covered the cas-
ket. This was from the officials of the as
SCISSORS office. A pretty cluster of Ameri-
can Beauty roses was sent by the office
force of the assessors office. There were
also handsome floral tributes from per-
sonal friends in Washington, Baltimore,
Frederick and other cities.
Buried at Rose Hill.

church, which were of a brief character,

of his son-in-law. Much sympathy is felt
for Mrs. Alvey, the death of her son fol-
lowing so soon after that of her husband,
the death of Judge Alvey having occurred
in September, and the deaths of two grand
children have combined to make the Alvey
home one of much sorrow.

Assured Good Service.

Persons who do their shopping early"
said the representative of a leading business
house today are certainly sure of quick
and satisfactory service Letter when the
stores are damned such service should not
be expected although, of course, every
effort will be made to give firstcass serv-
ice at all times. When unavoidable mis-
takes occur in the course of the holiday
rush people are too likely to blame the
stores, but such blames should not be
charged to the merchants. All such troubles
are easily avoided by early shopping
1t was stated today that the local dealers
have not yet reached any definite agree
ment about keeping their stores open at
night this year, and, it was stated, the night
openings may cover only few nights of the
shopping season. Should this be the case
the shopping season would be shortened
and shoppers should appreciate the neces-
sity for making their selections without
delay. =.

DO SHOPPING EARLY
HOLIDAY BUYERS SHOULD
AVOID THE RUSH.

Christmas shoppers have less than two
weeks in which to decide upon what they
are going to give their friends and rela-
tives, and now is the time to do the shop
ping. Don't wait until the stores are
crowded, when the service will not be so
good as it now is and when it takes longer
to make purchases. 49,.
"Shop early and avoid the rush, is the
motto of the leading merchants.
The continued warm weather has had the
effect of delaying purchases of winter gar
ments and othefl things that are needed
during the cold weather the change in the
weather this morning bringing out hum
dreds of shoppers for necessities.
With the possibility of such shoppers filling
the business houses later it will mean
that the late Christmas shoppers will have
to do their buying in crowded stores, and
the crowds, the buyers should not expect
to have the service that they have at
this time.
There is not a large store in the city
that has not it's line of Christmas goods
displayed now, and there can be no bet
ter time to do shopping than the present
Indications point to a greater amount of
shopping being done this year than dur
ing the past and by doing early shopping
the congested conditions during the last
days of the shopping season may be avoid
