Christmas matinee was confined almost
exclusively to a few of the first class
theaters in New York city.
On the road it is different. The &C
tors have to work just as hard as they
ever did, and opposition from local
managers will probably prevent the
elimination of the Christmas matinee
outside of New York.
With some companies Christmas is
not the disagreeable occasion that it
is with others. One or two owners
make it a practice to instruct the man
ager with the company to have
Christmas dinner prepared at the ex-
pense of the show. Sometimes cater
er is called in. and the dinner is served
on the stage between the matinee and
the evening performance. In that event
the dinner usually proves prolific OF
material for the house press agent, and
the affair is duly recorded In the daily
naners Sometimes it is served on the
stage after the evening performance
other times arrangements are made at
some hotel.
IT was one of these after the per-
formance affairs that came pretty near

Freight Rate Association.

Charlotte, N. T.. Dec. 5, lJlo.-
At a meeting of the officers and
advisory board of the Juss Freight
Rate Association of North Carolina,
held December 2, at the Offices Of
the chamber Of commerce of Green's
boro. the following resolution by j..
G.. Forester, was unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, Richmond, Norfolk, Pc
tersburg and Roanoke, Va, through
their respective chambers Of COM
merce have appeared before the in
terstate Commerce Commission in
an attempt to prevent the establish
mert of reduced freight rates from
Cincinnati and other western points
Of origin to North Carolina points
of destination. as agreed upon BE-
tween the railroads and the North
Carolina Legislature, and
Whereas, the petition of these
Virginia cities prays that these car
riers be denied the right to estab-
lish the proposed rates. ssbacause pro-
posed rates are in few instances
lower to North Carolina destina-
tions than to destinations in Tennes
see between Cincinnati and points in
North Carolina via same routes and
because proposed rates are higher
to some points in western North
Carolina than to some other points
in eastern North Carolina, while
they make no mention of the fact
that all rates to all points in North
Carolina are much higher than to
Richmond, Norfolk. Petersburg and
Roanoke, and that hundreds of these
North Carolina points are between
points of origin in the West and the
Virginia cities named, and
Whereas, if these Virginia cities
believe as they charge that present
rates discriminate in favor OF North
Carolina points against these Viz
ginia cities, their remedy lies III
straight forward, dignified com
plant covering that point and not ir
an ignoble attempt to prevent this
readjustment by hiding behind the
alleged injustice which might be
done some unimportant points in
Tennessee, and
"Whereas the petition of these Vir.
ginia cities is not made in good faith
but is cleverly devised to mislead the
commission in the hope that pres
ent rates which are outrageously
discriminatory in favor Of Richmond
Norfolk, Petersburg and Roanoke
Va, and against the entire state o1
North Carolina, may be continued
in effect to the end that the com
merce of North Carolina shall con
tinue to pay unjust tribute to these
Virginia cities.
Resolved, That we heartily con.
denim the chamber Of commerce OF
Richmond, Norfolk, Petersburg and
Roanoke, Va, for their quibbline
petition in an attempt to defeat ar
adjustment that grants North Caro-
lima only partial relief from unjus
conditions, we commend the manly
position so far taken by Lynchburs
and other Virginia cities who have
not become parties to this ins!ncert
petition, and we call on every loya
citizen of North Carolina to show
their righteous Indignation agains

WHY YOU SHOULD
NOT WORRY

The following very wise advice is
taken from the February American
Magazine:
The worries of today are the
jokes of tomorrow. Look over your
past life. What are the incidents that
you find funny now? Every one of
them was a worry at the time 1t hap
pened. You laugh as you look back
at past worries. Well. why not laugh
at the worries OF today and tomorrow
as well?
Worry doesn't get you anything or
anywhere. There's no use worrying
about things that are past. Whatev-
er has happened is right or It would
not have happened. The whole great
Universe Is run in harmony. Don't
be conceited enough to suppose that
anything you have done Is out of har.
mony with the Universe. II 1t was,
the whole world would soon get out
of killer.
There's no use worrying, either,
about what's going to happen. No.
body knows that. Remember, too, the
worst never happens. And why wor-
ry now? You either can help or can't
help what you are worrying about.
If you can help it, go ahead and do
1t and stop worrying II you can't
help 1t, what good does worrying do?
But, you say, Just can't help
worrying. How absurd! or course
you can. Try this plan. Sit down
calmly and ask yourself what is the
very worst result that can come from
your present trouble. Look it in the
face boldly Square your shoulders
and say to yourself: Well, IL that's
all, / can face that. Lots Of worse
things have happened to millions Of
other people and they have survived.
I guess can.
Most worries are over mere trifles
Probably George Washington's wife
used to worry when he got home late
for dinner. but what Difference does
1t make to either of them now?
Get Worry Book. Put down in
it today everything that worries you.
Look at 1t a week from today. How
many of the things you are worrying
about will happen? The longer you
keep worry book the shorter will
grow the entries"

SAYS THE cINic

The Cynic, writing in the January

"A man told me that during the

HOW TO WASH
CURTAINS PROPERLY

Lace curtains are not hard to wash
If properly handled. Shake free
from dust and look them over to see
that they hold no needles or pins
to injure the hands. Mend all torn
pieces. Do not put them into wash
ing machine as the delicate fiber
will be torn, and do not wash too
many at once. II laces or nets have
a grayish cast they should be bleach
ed. A little lye in the boiling suds
will make them clean white. Add
enough to the water to make it slight
ly slippery to the touch. Have the
first water rather warm. Soap the
curtains well and roll them and pack
them into the tub. For one pair OF
curtains use three parts of soft wa
ter to one part of good shaved soap.
Keep them we'll covered with wat
er and add at least tablespoonful
of kerosene to the first water. This
will loosen the dust. Soak over night
II convenient; then wash them care
fully and put in the boiling suds for
twenty minutes. Wash second time
and rinse. To make good starch
take one tablespoonful of pulverized
starch, one teaspoonful of gum ara
bic to three pints of boiling water.
Do not boil. If crRm colored lace
curtains are rinsed In weak tea they
will hold their color better than when
rinsed in water.

ed dry by pinning them on a clothes
line and fastening another line as
far down as the curtain hangs. Pin
the curtains securely. to both lines
so as to pull 1t tight. This is almost
as good as stretcher and far less
trouble.
To Clean cretonne
To clean cretonne curtains first
shake them free from dust and have
ready in a tub tepid suds in which
there has been placed one-fourth OF
cup of kerosene. Allow the cur.
tains to soak half an hour, wash
place them in second tepid suds
and then rinse in bluing water. Do
not rub soap on the curtains, and dc
not use alkali Of any kind. Dry, sprin
kle, fold the curtains, and iron on the
wrong side.
The following is the very best way
to wash blankets: Slice half cake
Of any good laundry soap in two
quarts of water. Set on the stove
and stir until dissolved. When dis
solved add to cold water in a tub
To this soap water add four table
spoonfuls of powdered borax. Soal
the blankets in this over night or fol
several hours. Wash in this water
Rinse twice in cold water, wiring ant
hang on the line. This recipe is fol
four blankets. Be sure and use onl,
cold water. They will come out a!
soft and beautiful as when the!
were new.
Cotton blankets are washed in ;
different way from those made o
wool. Soap them well with laundr,
soap, fold and allow them to soak il
tepid water. Wash them in an hou
or SO and then place in a boiler .
hot suds to steam, not boil. Rms
in several waters. Use a very littl,
bluing and dry them double on thu
