Theater Ventilation.
From the Chicago Record Herald.

The health department has determined
that there shall be better ventilation in
the Chicago theaters, large. and small.
Several licenses are being withheld pend
ing approval of provisions for ventilation.
These chiefly relate to new theaters but
the departments investigations include
ali playhouses, new or old. Ventilation
becomes doubly important with the COM
ing Of winter and the temptation to seek
warmth at the expense of pure air. All
places where numbers OF persons assem-
Bile should be well ventilated and kept in
sanitary condition In all respects. The
danger Is great of spreading infectious
diseases In poorly ventilated places.

Another Phase Presented.

There Is another phase to Christmas
which is never overlooked, and that Is
the spirit Of the days charity. Some
how, Christmas always touches the
hearts of men and women who have
much, and the poor always benefit by 1t
at Christmas time-perhaps more so than
at any other time of the year. There
are people in this town who for weeks
have been securing the city to find places
to bestow their charity to the best ad-
vantage. Today hundreds of the hungry
ones have been fed; hundreds have been
clothed with warm winter things. Hun
dreds of poverty-pinched youngsters have
been made glad with toys such as richer
chi dren have.
Perhaps those things are good to be re-
membered-that many children woke up
hungry after having gone to bed hungry.
and that some person fed them and
warmed them and made them happy with
a gift and that il was all done because
of the glow of love which encircled the
world when the Baby Christ was born In
the stable Of an inn on the worlds very
first Christmas day.

Constitution Is Quoted.

The attorneys turned to the impeach-
ment provisions of the Constitution to
support their contention that only GRIM
inal offenses were the subject of impeach-
ment proceedings
Why the provision that the officer con-
victed in an Impeachment proceeding
shall still be liable to indictment, trial
and punishment, according to the law IL
any offenses but those punishable by
law are intended to be the subject OF i'm
parchment proceedings" they inquired.
why. in the pardon clause of the Con-
stitution. Is Impeachment excepted from
pardonable offenses against the United
States If Impeachment was deemed to be-
for acts which are not offenses against
the United States?" they further in
quired. Above all. why. in fixing the
place of trial OF all crimes. is impeach
ment excepted IL that be not a trial for n
crime?'
