XMAS HAD ITS DARK SIDE
DestitutiOn and Suffering Are Acute
in London. Salvation Army
Fed Many Thousands.

The dark side of the English
Christmas is the great number of un-
employed and the distressing preva-
lence of restitution and suffering,
says a London dispatch This is seen
principally in London and at Glas-
gov and along the Tyne and other
shipbuilding centers, where many es-
Establishments have been closed and
thousands of men are out of work.
A small band of stability dressed,
miserable looking unemployed per-
sons have paraded the fashionable
shopping streets during the past
week, threading their way among the
lines of motor cars and the crowds
of aristOcratic Christmas Shoppers.
The police accompanied the band as
it marched in order to prevent dis
turbance. Its members shouted in
unison as they marched; I'VE want
work"
More than a thousand homeless
men assemble on the Thames en-
bankment every midnight to get tick
cts to Salvation Army shelters. The
army, however, is able to accommo-
date but half the crowd, and the
others disperse, many of them being
obliged to spend the nights out of
doors. The newspapers daily record
cases Of men being sentenced to i'm
prisonment for stealing food, who
plead that they are starving or have
families suffering from want. The
appeals to charitable organizations
for help were never so numerous or
urgent.
The Salvation Army and other
charitable institutions gave dinners
to many thousands of destitute per-
sons, but the Christmas dinners we're
not a drop in the basket when com
pared with the needs of the unem-
ployed.

In addition to the many canes Whitfield
by Nichols, he has carved scores OF
wooden horseshoes. The shoes were ot

pion left wooden nails, they being made
from the same piece of wood. One or

Nichols has whitfield out many deer. buff

small animals. such monkeys. cats,
puppies, rabbits and squirrels.
Did ii ever occur to you that you might
be able 10 become "A sculptor or earn your
living professional wood caryer?'
Nichols was asked.
NO, indeed. promptly responded the
whittier. Il couldn't handle chisel or
mallet or marble wood or anything else
All l know how TO do Is Whittle. Ii it
came to earning a living whiting or
carving I believe I would have to look
to some other field. because / only whit

times I sit down at homo or in the watch

ShaVngs fly like putting out fire. At
other times I just nick here and there

I'll some other time No. / don't ever
get tired whiting and probably never
will. l love it and shall always whittle
whether I'm in a parlor or on the street.
Seems to come like second nature and
l don't feel like everything is right un-

package under the umbrella over the
Matchbox / have blocks enough to carve
out an alphabet. and in my pocket here
l have three little pieces OF wood. from
which I'm going 10 w!little knife, fork
and spoon"
Although not in tho line OF whiting.
Nichols performed feat which attract
ed a vast dea of attention in Washing
ton several years ago, when he manu-
factured cane out OF go Cancelled
two-cent stamps.
The stamps were pasted on . steel rod.
When the pasting had been concluded
the cane large as a silver dol
lar. and the whittier set about 10
duce it to the proper size. This he did
by placing an iron nut with threads
inside it. over the cane. and with
monkey wrench screwed IL down on the
stamps until the stick was nodded into
the required shape. Afterward the cane
was she acked and made hard Although
highly ornamental and unique in appear

OF them had handles on them. Ono or
two We're covered with the fragments of
bone, wood or metal handles.
Il use these knives with the big blades
for the rough work." said Nichols. The
big blades to which he referred were
not quite half the length of those on a
new knife.
Now. for the delicate shaving said
the whittier, II use these knives So
saving he plunged his left hand into an
other pocket and brought out fifteen
knives even more dilapidated. The blades
varied in length from u sixteenth to a
quarter of inch.
"Au of these Were good. new knives
when l first got them" said Nichols,
looking at his tools. They look like
they are worn out. and the average man
wouldn't Stoop to pick up any one of
them, but l do my finest and most diff
ficult work with these little stubs.

them in other handles"
What do you consider your MASTER
piece" asked the interviewer.
That's a pretty hard question:" said
the whittier Il think I am proudest
of q roll of honor which L whitfield for
the First Brethren Church In South

to carve it, but it is q beauty, and

and when his carriage ran over it the
crook was broken. Then / whitfield a
