HOUSING CONFERENCE.

Much the most difficult problem OF
our cities is housing. It is impor-
tant in an Odd city that finds Itself
with large number OF poorly built
decasing houses. It is aalso important
to the new and the rapidly developing
towns where houses are springtng up
like mushrooms.
1t is OF interest to the health de-
partnaents who know how much pre-
ventable illness springs from bad
housing: TO city planning commits
sioners. whose plans in the long run
harm their towns unless they include
housing: to economists, because OF
the reiations between housing and
health and thrift: to employers OF la
Dor. because they know that good la
Dor is hard TO get where there is not
good housing. and who also know
that poor housing sends labor to the
task badly fitted therefor.

by contrast increases the attractive

No one is more interested in hous-
Ing than the employer. The labor
unions should be represented at this
housing conference.
No city is too old and none too
Young to be interested. If the COM
nunity be young, it is cheaper and
more effective TO prevent than to

allow them TO devastate.

CHRISTMAS TREASURES.

A little sock of faded hue,
"A little lock of golden hair.
Long years ago this Christmas time
My little one my all to me
Sat robed in white upon my knee
And heard the merry Christina:
chime
Tell me. nay little golden head.
II Santa Claus should come tonight
What shall he bring ny baby
bright
What treasure for ny boy" / said.
And then he named The little toy,
While IN his round and truthful
eyes
There came look OF glad surprise
That spoke his trustful. childish joy.
And as he iisped his evening prayer
He asked the feaa with baby grace,
And. tcddianE 10 the chimney place,
He hung his little stocking there.
That night as iengthening shadows
crept
] saw the white winged angels come
With music to our humble home
And kiss my darling as he slept.
He must have heard that baby prayer.
For in the morn, with glowing face,
He toddled to the chimney place
And found the little treasure there.
They came again one Chrfstmastide,
That angel host SO fair and white,
And singing all the Christmas night
They lured my darling from my side.
A little sock, little toy,
A little lock of golden hair,
The Christmas music on the air.
.A-watching for my baby boy.
But If again that angel train
And golden head come back for me
To bear me to eternity
My watching will not be in vain.
