STAMP COLLECTING.

Elsewhere on this page is letter
from Eva Peace suggesting TO tue
Junior Forum that stamp collectors
department would be useful thing.
There is no doubt that the collecting
of stamps is one of the most uSeful
and educative pursuits. 1t is rich III
its power to impart the knowledge OF
nil countries historical. political, bio
araphical-to say nothing of the ar
tistic value of the color schemes. de-
signs and satisfaction in arranging
Them neatly on the pages of the stamp
album. Then. too, the varied currencies
Of the nations. their flags and coats
of arms get TO he ones unconscious
nossession in a most delightful way,
adding to the store of general informa-
fion that helps every one to enjoy the
world more.
For these reasons and for others the
Tribune Junior Forum will be glad to
have q stamp collectors column. where
exchanges of ideas can he recorded
and where questions can he answered
bv the readers themselves If the edi-
tor Of this page receives a Suihclent
number Of letters. 1t rests with you.

GOING TO BED.

So many Of us during the busy days
GET tired and lose interest in things.
We get grumpy" and impatient and
wonder very often what is the matter.
Does this sound familiar? "Oh, moth
er. must I go TO bed? Please let me
stay MP little longer" And then you
do stay up and then the next day
things don't 90 well and sometimes
our digestions, too, get little obstrep-
erous.
Young people always want to stay
up late. II is really a mark of grow

that bedtime is one Of the most highly
prized periods. i'm the whole twenty
four hours. And as we get older we
learn TO FIJI our days-or should learn
to ill our days-so full of real things
that we feel that we honestly deserve
the rest which bedtime offers us.
Does it sound strange to say that
even bedtime can be more thoroughly
enjoyed if we've lived so well during

PRIVILEGE? This may be q new notion

There is nothing that is more indica-
tive of our true gentlemanliness or
womanlinesS-our breeding-than real
consideration and appreciation Of the
rights of others than ourselves. There
is actually nothing in our public or IN
orr home life that so defines our atti-
tude toward everything as an abun-
dance or lack of consideration for other
people. Especialy-and this may seem
hard TO believe-iD the smallest things

For example If when we are in car
crowded or empty--and we sit with
one foot stretched out in the aisle
where people may trip over it, it not
only marks us as impolite but as very
inconsiderate of the rights Of the other
passengers. The same thing may be
said of allowing an umbrella or a

COUNCIL SLAVES OFF
MONUMENT REMOVAL
BY REFUSING PERMIT

MACON, GA, Dec. by refusing
to give the receiver of the Marietta
Marble and Granite Company permits
sion 10 work in city park, the city
council IS seeking to save the monu-
ment to the Women of the South"
which was unveiled here two years ago
by the veterans and Daughters of the
Confederacy with much ceremony.
The shaft was purchased by the vet
Grams, but has never been fully paid for.
The veterans presented the monument
to the Daughters of the Confederacy
and they in turn gave it to the city,
which erected it in the park in front OF
the city hall.
The receiver for the marble company
wants to dismantle the monument be-
cause of the unpaid Indebtedness. but is
prevented by reason of not having the
city's consent to work in a city park
Members of council openly stated in
meeting that they would never willing
ly give the permission, and referred the
request to committee, with the re-
quest that action be delayed on it as
long as possible.
The local attorney for the receiver OF
the marble company states that man
'damus will probably be sought against
the city to force it to allow the dis
mantling OF the monument.
