W llFIl AlIa NIulNINIfll l'N'l'lN NtluH to New Haven to organize this com munity in line with Hartford and other centers, where he had interested the mutitudes in his very worthy work In behalf of the fight against the great white plague by means of free hospital beds for working men, he said he hop ed that before long the state of Con necticut would be looked upon as a model community in this tuberculosis warfare It was a worthwhile wish and a particularly happy one in view of the unheard-of interest which has since then been shown in every form of tuberculosis work throughout the city.
 In no particular way is this public interest shown than in the way the new red cross Christmas stamps are taking with the New Haven public. The Journal Courier, always alive to the best endeavors of the public, has offered the stamps for sale the first of any place in the city, The way in which they are being sold daily surely fore shadows a universal use of them at Christmas time on every sort of holi day package and gift. It Ia seldom that such worthy charity Is coupled, as in this case, with such a happy way of obtaining contributions. IA tag day has it's good sides They will be ob serveable next Saturday, when will come the tag day of the st. Raphaels stamps have some pleasing characteris tics not found in the tag day. It's methods are not of the "holdup' vari- ety. No one is solicited to take part in the charity who does not want to. yet every stamp which is used but tends to create greatly Increasing de- mand forlmore stamps as time goes on. Wherever the stamps have been issued elsewhere, they have been met with universal usage and there Is every ex- pectation that the same results will ob- tain in New Haven this Christmas and throughout the state and nation, for the movement is to extend from ocean to ocean.
 There was time when the great white plague, consumption seemed to be terrible, unsurmountable monster That consumption is today not nearly the dread foe 1t once was is due to the united efforts of many people. The day is dawnng when the disease can and will be universally and undenably an- nounced to be preventabe and curable. No deed Is more appropriate to the Christmas season than for each to add his little mite, by the use of these stamps, toward hastenne that day. It is reputation worth striving for to have Connecticut recognized the coun- try over as the state where tuberculo- sis work is carried on most intelligent ly and most effectually Such move ments as the red cross Christmas stamp movement can make that re- putation possible, The spirit of Christ mas permeates every one of these stamps and we doubt not but that good santa Claus has blessed each and ev- cry one of them and commissioned them to carry his pleasing holiday greetings far and wide. May the good work go on and may the demand fol these stamps at The Journal-Courier office and wherever else they are now on sale, keep on increasing daily

We believe that the action of Judge Tyner in imposing a fine of $50, the heaviest penalty thus far exacted, upon an alleged reckless auto driver, was worthy one, If the arm of the law could be felt more vitally by these offenders, there would be fewer hair
 breadth escapes, fewer injuries, and fewer deaths on our streets, resulting from this cause. If only the law were so adjusted that the judge could have put the automobile "behind the bars" for fifty days, it would have been a les- son even more effectual

We find in all ages that woman
has played a most important part in
the interesting drama of the world.
Her hand has been an active one in
moulding its destines She has held
the fate of nations in her hand for
good or i'll, and too often has she
sacrificed to her vanity the good she
might have accomplished
We find her at the head Of armies
leading them on to victory, when men
have quailed with fear.
We see her braving the terrors of
death and worse to save her c0un-
try from lis enemies, and we see
her in her undaunted faith and con-
stancy at the foot Of the cross when
strong men hid themselves in era
ven fear. She 1t is who has stlmu-
lated men to the prandest achieve
ments which have brought blessings
on the world; but alas the world
was sold to Satan, and mankind
shorn of all its most glorious pre-
rogaiives: by a woman vanity: but
was it not redeemed through her
humility and generosity with a ran
som infinitely beyond the price?
Eve, 1t is true, plunged the world
in gloom, but Mary reilluminated G
with glory surprising the deepest
darkness of the night which PIE
ceded her.
But on the records of ages writ
ten in letters of gold the glorious
deeds of self sacrifice and noble
heroism, by which for the love Of
God or country, or the salvation of
souls, women have distinguished
themselves.
