Sunlight's chemical intensity, to-

investigated by great variety of
methods. One of the latest undertake

would not think ordinarily of pur-
chasing for themselves or each other
such things as stickpms, brooches and
the like. Christmas, when everyone
is spending little more money than
usual, is the proper time for the max
ing of this kind of gift. Only when
the money paid for such gift is
positively needed for proper living eX-
penses is it absolutely wasteful to
spend it for this purpose. Even the
gift of an inartistic or inappropriate
article to persons who have no need
of anything is wasteful. But it is the
spirit that prompts people to give
when they do not want to give or to
give more than they want to give that
the society should fight, for this is
the extreme of useless giving.

Join the Spug's
And be Happy

Rochester Union: The Spugs have
determined to make their organiza-
ton national They-eh, what ?-the
Spugs? Oh, yes. They're the Society
for the Prevention of Useless Giving.
They were organized to abolish the
giving of useless gifts at Christmas
time. The society became prominent
lust before Christmas last year in
New York city, but was not national
in its scope. The organization is
very comprehensive, having no con-
stitution or bylaws and very few
other elements of true organiza-
ton. 1t is rather an organized senti-
ment than an organization. But its
sentiment and its purpose are in many
ways sane and sensible, and even
those who do not accept its program
in full will find much in it to COM
mend. 1t strikes at one of the evils
of Christmas-tim and every one of US
can follow its banner more or less
closely.
One of the main objects of the
Spugs is to do away with that COM
pulsory giving by which employees in
store or factory under fear of dis
pleasure or even dismissal contribute
at Christmas time to a fund for the
purchase of a gift for the "boss."
The society's best work for the aboli
tion of this form of blackmail should
be directed to those holding positions
of authority over others. 1t should
try to induce them to forbid the Civ
ing of presents to them. Then the So
ciety also would stop that method of
giving presents by which Christmas is
made a season of barter and exchange,
rather than of good will. 1t is op-
posed to the giving of presents cost
ing more than the giver can afford to
pay. 1t does not stand for the COM
mon acceptance of the term "useful
present." often more useless than a
gew-gew. 1t would have useful pres
ents as useful as possible and as beau
tiful.
All these are worthy objects. No
one can really oppose them. There
is nothing of the Christmas spirit in
giving more than one can afford to
give. But useful giving need not
necessarily mean that nothing merely
ornamental or pleasure giving shall
be bestowed. Even person with but
a small amount of money to spend
may not spend it uselessly when he
or she gives bit of jewelry or other
thing that gives real pleasure. 1t
may be that members of family

Mid-Scotland Canal Proposed

A sea-level ship canal across Scot
land from the Firth of Forth to the
Firth of Clyde has again been pro-
posed and is receiving serious con-
sideration. 1t is an undertaking that
would cost about S120,O00,000 and re-
quire five years for completion. The
route proposed is not the Loeb Lo-
mond route, that was suggested 25
years ago, but ''direct route near
er Glasgow. There is now small
barge canal, built in 1870, along this
line, but the present plan proposes
the building of a separate sea-level
canal with no locks except sea locks
at the ends. The distance is 20
miles and the proposed canal would
be 14S feet wide and 36 feet deep.
Little cutting would have to be done
except through sand and gravel, as
the sea once covered this territory.
The valley which the canal would fol-
low is the richest coal, oil, mineral
and industrial region in Scotland,
and its location is such that it would
shorten many of the sailing routes
from various British ports. 1t would
connect Glasgow with Edinburgh and
the new naval base at Rosyth with
the dreadnought dock at Renfrew,
the shipyards, Lamlash naval base
and Loeb Long torpedo practice res
