HOLIDAYS

Work days, because they are
full of engrossing tasks from morning
until night, can be bravely lived
through by those who mourn or by
those who are away from home. 1t is
the holidays that lonely and aching
hearts can not endure. The ami
versaries of days that once were filled
with cheer and happy offices cause
eyes to swim with tears as they gaze
upon the unfamiliar landscape or look
about the table from which well-loved
faces are so unforgettably absent
The very quiet and leisure of the day
other, those happier times. For the
moment the present scene is not be-
fore your eyes, nor are the present
sounds in your ears. You hear again
the old, long-known and dear hustle.
1t is the old neighbors. who are calling
greetings as they pass. 1t is the old
time friends who come in to give
their holiday greeting and the hand
clasp that year after year has renew
ed and made beautiful the staunch and
cherished friendships. 1t is the fam
lily circle. blessedly unbroken again
that makes your festal table lovely
picture before your eager eyes.
Dreams, all of them. And when yon
wake you are in the midst of group
that never can be quite complete
again. New friends are about you, and
though they are wonderfully kind, the
holiday is somehow emptier and less
bearable than is plain living of every
day.

CHRISTMAS GIFTS

Too early preparation for Christmas
seems somehow to rob the occasion of
all spice and to take the zest out of
the business of the choosing and ma
king of gifts Forehanded people
doubtless get a good deal of satisfac-
ton out of their superiority over pro-
crastinating and impulsiye friends, but
for some reason the articles that have
been in cold storage since midsummer
against the day of December giving
have lost Cor rather have never had)
the flavor of those planned and select
ed when the holiday season is only a
few weeks off.
On the other hand, gift that is
hastily picked out on Christmas eve
has little to commend it, Holiday
shopping should be the happiest, the
gayest shopping of the whole year. 1t
should entail several looking" trips
to the stores in November, a good deal
of time in window wishing" after the
lovely things are spread behind the
plate glass, and a number of days of
actual buying a fortnight or so before
Christmas eve.
The arrival of the shop wagons dur
ing the early days of December, the
secreting of mysterious packages in
places forbidden to the investigator
and always somehow unexpectedly
come upon by the interested persons,
The guessing of who is to get the
bundle that was grabbed so hastily
rom the delivery boy and carried off
still wrapped upstairs,-these are the
)astimes that fill the days before the
wenty-fifth with an excitement which |
or pure delight has few equals.
From today the stores should be
illed with Christmas shoppers, all |
pleasantly animated by cheer, secrecy,
nd loving thought of others.

against society the situation is one
that is distinctly not up to the school
authorities but to the officers of the
law
Drinking intoxicating liquors, steal

in a disorderly manner in the park or
on the streets, being out late at night
these are offenses on the part of
group of boys for which parents and
not the school teachers and principals
are responsible. 1t is the business of
government to inf1ict punishment upon
such offenders against society.

WHO is ACCOUNTABLE?

A large percentage of promotions,
regular attendance, few cases of tardi-
ness, a satisfactory and constantly in
creasing enrolment a comparatively
low cost of operation-these are all adj
mirable conditions to have in any
school. But interesting and desir-
able as such statistics are, they may
be very incomplete story of the
: actual state of affairs in a school.
<he tale is not told until there is
incAsded chapter on the spirit of the
school, Tie relation of pupils to teach
ers, the degree to which rules are
observed and work pursued in
friendly atmosphere.
The well-disciplined grammar school
is one in which the discipline is SO
constant, so unobstrusive, so firm, and
SO tactful that pupils do not realize
they are being disciplined, that work
becomes, as a matter of course, the
business of the day. and that the as
sociation of pupil and teacher is one
marked by respect, by good WILL and
by an entire absence of hostility,
trickery, cajolery, or roughness These
are sometimes difficult conditions to
secure, but they are never impossi-
BILE.
1t requires two factors for the sue
cessful establishment of such gram
mar school,-the proper personality
at the head of the school and the prop
er training of boys and girls at home.
If anything goes wrong with the school
life, there is pretty apt to be some
thing wrong with the home life, first.
Parents who do not fulfil their duty
to society in the matter of maintaining
discipline at home are an actual men
ace to society and to the school.
The thoughtful and sympathetic dis
cussion of school conditions by rep
resentative and deeply concerned cit
liens will do more to crystalize public
opinion and improve standards than
any other course. 1t will make the
school board realize that it has both
responsibilities and sources of help
and counsel 1t will raise the stand
ard of school employees and guarantee
the proper selection of persons fitted
to control, direct, and win youth 1t
will make parents realize that their
own shortcomings can not be laid at
the door of the school, that school
discipline can not and should not be a

co.'s present crisis?, =,
History has shown US that in the
hour of need, hero always arises. In
Mexico, if the nation is allowed to
work out its own destiny, such man
will certainly come! Looking over
he present field, who is available?
Will Zapata answer? The question
is needless. Zapata is brigand; he
glories in arson, rapine and plumber;
he is a leader of men who wish to
loot, steal and destroy. An ideal ban
dit ruler, he has not single quality
of the national ruler and it would be
impossible for foreign governments
to deal with government headed by
him.
There is more propriety in the
mention of the Vasquez Gomez
brothers. Emilio and Francisco Vas
quez Gomez have been leaders in the
democratic struggle which has been
waging in Mexico since 1910. One of
them has more than once been pro-
claimed provisional president of Mex
leo. They write well and have high
ideals. But it is doubtful if they can
lead and control.
Then there is FREDERICK Gamboa,
unquestionably man of power. AS
a literary man he has few if any SUI
periors in the republic. He can be
trusted to deal with delicate matters
of craftsmanship. With all due re-
spect to our peerless leader, Mr..
Bryan is no match for Senior Gam
boa. If Mexico were at peace, Gam
boa would be a proper and strong
candidate for the presidency. But at
this time he is not man of sufficient
push and energy, enterprise and mag
netism to succeed fully as a party
leader.
Many believe that the only hope of
the Mexican republic in the present
crisis is De La Barra. When am
bassador at Washington, De La Barra
made few mistakes and his diplo-

from being a man of the pronounced
views and strong ideals desirable at
the present moment.
Victoriano Huerta, left to himself,
world have been eliminated long ago.
Had the United States been content
simply with non-recognitian, he
would have been hurled from power a
few weeks after attaining it, as surely
as the morrow's sun will rise. But
we made him martyr, he was put in
the position of leader of people who
were being browbeaten from outside.
So his position aroused sympathy
and support among Mexicans and to-
day he is more respectable and re
spected than he was many months
ago. But Huerta cannot withstand
the powerful American influence
against him. He has been crippled
financially and will not long be able
to maintain himself.
What about General Villa? Strik-
ingly in recent Mexican history it has
been shown that the only safe man
is dead man. After their lives were
forfeit, two men were spared by Ma
dero. Madero himself had reason to
regret the pardoning of Felix Diaz;
Huerta today has profound regret for
the reprieve granted to General Villa.
The man has proved as good soldier
as he is bandit He is cruel, pitt
less. 1t is probable that he will
emerge from the present conflict with
considerable military glory If he
does, Villa as president of Mexico is
conceivable. But it would be unfor-
tunate. He might well serve, how
ever, until the preparation of more
worthy candidate.
Would not this candidate be Car
rama? Venustiano Carranza is a
man of energy. He has clean-cut
ideas. But he may be completely
shelved by the military leader, Villa.
Yet his own leadership has met with
much success, and he showed unex-

WOULD BE OF GREAT VALUE
Idea for a Laboratory Of Safety Dc.
vices Has Been Put Forward by
Employers Of Labor.

Why not have a laboratory Of safe
ty devices is the question asked by
many manufacturers who have been
giving honest attention to the subject
of preserving the health and physical
well-being of their employees. With the
many safety devices already offered,
the average manufacturer is some
what In the dark as to the appliances
which best could befit his business.
With this idea In view, it Is pro
posed that a staff of competent engi'
neers be appointed whose sole duty II
shall be to test the numerous appli
ances offered and decide whether they
are fitted to the various industries
they represent.
Fire prevention naturally would
prove one Of the biggest subjects to
be taken under consideration. Many
inventions have to do with hose, doors
shutters, ETC., and under present con
ditions the only way for a factory
owner to determine their value is to
put them to a test-those tests oft
times being made under conditions
where a great loss in human life re
suits.

That II Has No Foundation
In Fact.

less than no time he is at the top Of

height. Notice him in the street.

Malays, but in Java alone you find the

the true Javanese Of Middle Java

Madourese of Madoura and East Java.
1t is therefore evident that to talk
about "Malays" is really incorrect.

correct to term all these peoples Ma

all white people Aryans. The term

great families of mankind. The Malay

not make as near so good an impress

what they really are, they look puny;
they are also short, have shifty eyes,
a broad nose. perhaps a mustache, sell
dom beard; they are lazy, untrust-
worthy, will harbor revenge for years,

all wear q head covering, made Of col
ored linen. The lower classes wear
this carelessly, although the Malays Of
higher standing are very careful in ar
ranging it. which they do very ingeni-
ously. It looks incongruous to see a
Malay with "topee,' or helmet, above
his usual head covering; nevertheless,

INVENTORS HARD LUCK.

Sir Henry Bessemer. who was
born 101 years. ago, was one Of those
Inventors that i'll luck pursued, and
from whose clutches he finally
escaped by indomitable perseverance.
In 1888 the British government was
losing 100000 a year by the fraud
ulent misuse of embossed deed
stamps. Bessemer rendered this i'm
possible by the use of perforated dies
which dated the stamps. He pre-
asented the invention TO the govern
ment, which forgot its promise Of
a permanent appointment, but
thanked him. His great invention
in the manufacture Of steel so inn
pressed the ironmakers that they
paid him $135,000 for licenses, and
"wanted their money back" He had
forgotten the proportion of fools to
wise men. 1t took him two years
to render the process "fool proof"
and he pressed his point home by the
setting up of his factory in Sheffield

"Rules," the famous theatrical
tavern, in Maiden lane, is not to
close its doors, but Capt. Walter
O'Brien, who has been in charge
there for twenty years, has given up
his ownership rot only because of

of the high taxation, according to
London correspondent Of the New

"In one way or another" he said,
I'VE pay now in rent, rates, license

we paid in 1894. That makes a diff
ference.
"Then this part of London has

moved westward. And the popular
taste has changed.

"They have the choicest taste in
dishes and wines. They have been

But they want all their money for
