WIRELESS COMPANY TO

DENIES NATIONS RIGHT TO DE-
MAND INFORMATION FROM
ITS OFFICERS

New York, Sept. 21.-John W.
Griggs, president of the Marconi
Wireless Telegraph Company Of
America, announced today his com
pany was still determined to fight
in the courts the right of the govern
ment to regulate its operations. Sec
retary Daniels has threatened to close
the wireless plant at Siasconset,
Mass, unless prompt and satisfac-
tory explanation is forthcoming as to
why the company handled an unneu-
tral message from British cruiser
to British admiralty agent asking for
supplies.
Out attitude is exactly the same
as it was before" Mr. Griggs said.
"As to Secretary Daniels charging
that we did not submit a reply, we
simply state that the government
lacked both the power and the right
to demand information of our bust
ness. Secretary Daniels seems to be
under the impression that the United
States at this time is being governed
by military laws. Furthermore, we
have not violated the neutrality oi

VALUE OF A CHILD'S GIFTS
Teach Good Lessons and
Give Inspiration.

II we stop to think about our
Christmas giving we realize that a
gift means more to the giver than 1t
given in the proper spirit the donor
finds out to the full that it is really
more blessed to give than to re-
ceive," fact that is lost sight of in
an age of the commercial spirit.
With children there is a great edu-
cative value in their present giving
If it is encouraged to be really their
own giving. If the mother, however,
simply prepares some little remem-
brance, and says Mary, this is your
Christmas present to Aunt Ellen" the
gift has no meaning in the thoughts
of the young giver. And not only
has it no meaning, but it becomes
actually harmful for the reason it pre-
sents the idea to the child that the
gift without the giver is really a gift.
And the child has put no thought or
self sacrifice into the giving of that
present.
On the other hand, if the child be
given pocket money which it may con-
slider its very own, or, better still, II
1t is enabled to earn pocket money and
is then encouraged to set aside por-
tion of its very own money for pres
ent making the idea of true giving is
acquired. The sacrifice, the fore
thought, the love necessary to make
gift real gift are there.
The homemade gifts of children
have many valuable lessons to teach
the young givers. Many lessons in
sewing, rafffa, bead-work or painting
may be given under the guise of max
ing a gift. In one family, where the
elder sister had never made gifts,
and really never learned to sew well
until she was eighteen years of age
the younger sister, girl of ten, in
spired by the example of a small
friend, wished to make birthday gifts
for her family. Once she asked her
mother to teach her how to crochet;
another time to scallop, and before
she was twelve years old she had be-
come as proficient a little seamstress
as one would want to see.
Thus practical lessons are learned.
while the child is inspired with the
idea that "Not what we give, but
what we share; the gift without the
giver is bare"

EMOTIONAL VALUE OF DAY
Christmas Spirit Almost Universally
Felt, But What It Is Remains q
Mystery to Many.

The emotional value of Christmas
may be said to be universally felt.
Something happens at Christmas that,
il only for day or two, does the
whole world good. What that some
thing is remains for many a mystery.
A number Of persons who feel the
renewing impulse are like Faust when
the notes Of the Easter song arrest
his suicidal intent; they take and en-
joy the moments deliverance and con-
tinue to regard the source of the boon
as nothing more than mythology made
potent through human associations.
Others are moved through supersti-
tious fears; they approach the great
season with consciences crowded with
uncomfortable memories; Marley's

little feet paved the ground, then the
whole turnout seemed to leap into
the air, and like a flash was gone!
Teddy rubbed his eyes. It was fun
ny! He thought he was at the win
dow, but here he was in bed.
He sat up and looked around the
room. The fire in the CRATE had gone
out, but the gray light of the morning
was beginning to steal through the
curtains. Teddy slid out of bed and
crept softly to the fireplace.
The stockings were bulging in all
directions, as had been their exhilarat-
ing wont in other years! He put out
his hand and touched one of them
gently. 1t was no dream. The stock
ing was full to overflowing!
With little signing, whispering
wheeze of Joy and relief Teddy clasped
his hands until the knuckles showed
as white as the snow outside. Then
with cry of absolute delight he
dashed into his mothers room.
She opened a pair of sleepy eyes at
the sound of the pattering little feet.
Teddy threw himself upon her, laugh
ing and sobbing.
"Oh, mother, mother. mother!" he
cried. "He come after ALL Santa

tears. How disappointed he and his
mother would be when they got up in
the morning and found the stockings
empty! She leaned over and kissed
him tenderly Are you tired, dear?"
she asked. You don't seem as happy
as usual"
Teddy assured her, as well as he
was able for the lump in his throat,
that he was perfectly well. His moth
er, like the wise one that she was,
didn't press the question. She merely
drew up her low rocking chair and sat
beside the bed until she thought Ted
dy was asleep and then she crept
quietly down stairs
Teddy lay for long time after she
went, watching the freight flicker on
the walls. He couldn't go to sleep and
besides what was the use, when there
wasn't anything to wake up for? A
good many tears rolled out of the cor.
ners of his eyes, but he didn't care
now.

four or ten hours, he thought, and had
just shut his eyes to rest them from
the light, when he heard a sound,
very little bit of a sound He sat up
quickly in bed and listened eagerly,
because it sounded, it really did sound,
as if it might be sleighbells. In min
ute, he didn't know just how, he was
leaning out Of the window.
He didn't feel as if he had walked
there at all, but more as if he had just
skinned along without any effort on
his part, as if he had been some sort
of delightful fish bird. He leaned away
out of the window, not feeling bit
afraid of falling, and looked down up
on the street.
Yes, down there on the street, as
plain as day, he could see the reindeer
shaking their long horns and prancing
until the bells that seemed almost to
cover them filled the air with their
musical jingle. And then there was a
5leam of red. Somebody was climbing
into the sleigh! There was the echo
