CHRISTMAS.

All over the Christian world
fathers and mothers and chill
.dren are wondering sadly wheth-
er they shall ever again be able
to utter with a confident and hap
pyheart the Christmas greeting
Merry Christmas! Those words
will be heard in many an Ameri-
con home this year, but even
there they will be spoken, among
the thinking elders of the family
with a sense that only for the
very young can Christmas now
be merry. In England. the land
from which our Christmas greet
ing came, those words will very
likely not be heard at all. In
France the phrase, 'Joyeux Noel
if it is uttered, will be a conven-
tional greeting, without spirit.
AS for Belgium and Poland and
Siberia and Roumania, is it con-
ceivable that any of the miser-
able people of those countries,
where all alike are wretched,
should not think of Christmas as
the bitterest, most tragic day of
all the year?
In our own country perhaps
the most hopeful and heartening
sign is the fact that for so few
persons can Christmas be merry.
We're we so sink in selfishness.
so content in CIR prosperity, so
happy in our INN unity, as to OBJ.
serve Christmas with a thankful
and a merry heart, there would
indeed be no health in Us. The
measure of our Christianit this
year is to receive its supreme
test. Is our self-denial growing
more rigorous with the increas-
ing destitution of he world?
Out of our resources are we CIV
ing more 10 the afflicted and
spending less upon ourselves
than ever before.
Each one OF us must make his
own answer. Christmas this
year should be the day when a
man comlcunes with his consci-
ence.

Joint Resolution offered in Senate
Proposes Interstate Commerce
Commission Probe.

An investigation by the interstate
commerce commission into the wages
paid to all classes of railroad employees
in the United States is demanded in a
joint resolution offered in the Senate
by Senator Newlands of Nevada. The
resolution was referred to the inter-
state commerce committee, of which
Senator Newlands is chairman.
Discussing his resolution, Senator
Newlands said: "It provides that the in
terstate commerce commission shall
proceed Immediately to investigate and
report to Congress upon the minimum,
maximum and average wage paid. with
hours of service, to each class of rail-
road employees in the United States. and
SO far as they are comparable, the
minimum, maximum and average wage,
with hours of service, paid in other
industries where similar scale and risk
are involved. the relation of wages to
railroad revenues, the question of
whether railroad revenues. based on
existing rates for transportation, will
admit of equally favorable terms to all
classes of railroad employees, and any
other matter that the commission my

cles of the face.
The movement under the chin is par

executed is instrumental in removing
or preventing the unsightly double

from the neck toward the chin and out

method should invariably be followed.
as the reverse motion only tends to In

After having carefully executed all
the movements, the skin should be al

little particles.
Next wash the face and surrounding
skin in moderately hot water. then in

and your massage is complete.
A good searching or rolling cream
such as is now used by many beauty
specialists to aid in removing dust and
dirt particles from the skin is made
of: One ounce of crembas. one dram of

ounce of pure white vaseline and few
drops of any desired perfume.

The sport hat was accepted without
oavil when March blew itself into the
calendar. The shop windows were aglow
with stripes. pongees. Jersey cloths. Wen

we were quite aware that the world of
fashion had decided that the sport hat
was the only head covering worthy of
notice.
So far. SO good
On the 10th day of May the prices in
sport hats began to fall like the prices
in stocks when the war began. About
the 10th Of June you could get a s25
one for $4.9s. and less, If you seemed in
different about having it and the seller
was enthusiastic about getting rid of it.
As for the painted parrot. ii ran a
short, hectic and violent course in New
York, where fashions are apt to go into
an extravagant excess and then burst

None OF this preamble means that the
sport hat as such is to be out of fashion.
but IT does mean that 1t has been cheap
ened, and that 1t will be worn by the
ma jority rather than the minority.
For instance. at the opening of the race
season. which took place on the mar
velous May day, there were probably not
more than half dozen sport hats in that
enormous assemblage OF people, many Of
whom-the Long Island set-giye their
entire summer to sport activities.
The women wore small velvet turbans
and tam-o -shanters, and many of them
wore big shade hats of fine gold straw
trimmed with a large velvet band and
buckle or a mass of field flowers. And
