HOW TO MAKE REAL FRIEND
Be one--Friendship Cannot BE HaIf-
Sided and is Not Won by
Standing Aloof.

Often you come across people who
complain that they have but few
friends. They will point to other per-
sons who have many and wonder why
such a distinction is made.
The matter is easy enough to ex-
plain, for, as some one has well said,
the only way to have a friend is to be
one.
For friendship cannot possibly be a
one-sided matter. just as it takes two
to make a bargain or a quarrel, SO
does it take the same number to make
a friendship.
No one can stand aloof from others,
waiting to be sought, without expert
encing keen disappointment. This be-
cause friendships are not made that
way. People do not look you over as.
you stand off by yourself and say:
Nov, there's some one I'd like to-
know III make a point to draw him
or her out and take all the pains pos
sible to establish friendship"
That's not the way it happens in
real life, although some still imagine
that it is. What really happens is
this Two persons meet, and grad
ually they find points of congeniality,
gradually each does little fayors for
the other, gradually feeling of af-
lection takes root in each heart
Neither one is thinking of what can be
gained from the acquaintance rather,
each is thinking and planning to give
instead of take In other words, each
is trying to be a friend unselfishly.
And, 10! it is the very thing which
makes their friendship.
Bear that in mind if you happen to
be among those who lament their
scarcity of friends.

Error Mars Great Picture.

In the rotunda of the capitol at
Washington there are eight great paint
llgs, carefully designed and executed
by the artists for the adornment of
the nations greatest building, Yet five
of them are either defective in tech
aique, or in error as to natural or his
torical facts.
One of the best-known pictures is
that in which Washington is shown re-
signing his commission to the CONT
mental congress, says the Philadelphia
Record. There are two girls, almost
life-size, standing in the foreground
They are very pretty girls; but one of
them has three hands. One left hand
rests on the shoulder of her compan-
ion, another left hand is round her
companions waist. Doubtless the art,
ist, Trumbull, painted both hands to
see which pose he preferred, and then
forgot to paint out the superfiuous
hand

Do not try to pinch and squeeze
your feet into shoes that are too
small under the mistaken idea that
small feet gained in this way are

small shoes cramp the development
of the feet and cause misshapen

A large foot, well shaped, is by far
much more beautiful than a small
foot, misshapen.

.Adamson Would Spank"
Seekers of Laws Repeal

Washington, Dec. 1S.-Reports that
railroad and brotherhood heads in
peace conferences have planned to
propose the repeal of the Adamson
act and the substitution of a working
agreement of their own making for
1t aroused Representative Adamson,
author of the law. to declare that Con-
gress would spank both sides to the
controversy If necessary"
Mr.. Adamson. who is the house rep
resentative of President Wilson in rail-
way legislation matters, is willing to
cooperate in any plan employees and
employers may evolve for the inter-
probation of his law as applied to
working conditions, but will vigorous
ly oppose repeal. as he thinks will the
matorities of both houses.
Congress will not agree to any re-
peal of the Adamson law" he said to-
night. The measure was passed in
good faith and 1t is a constitutional
enactment regulating hours of labor
and not wages. Let the roads and
their men settle their wage disputes.
Il hope that the negotiations be-
tween the railroads and their employees
will result in an agreement which will
not make further legislation neces-
sary. but Congress will see that the
public gets a fair deal. II IL becomes
necessary to spank both sides, we'll
spank them. though l hope that won't
be necessary"

AMERICAN STEEL
Official Confirmation of Pur-
chase of Lebanon and Read
ing Plants by Schwab

Lebanon, Pa, Dec. is. - James
Lord. president of the American Iron
and Steel Manufacturing Company,
Saturday at noon gave official con-
firmation to the reported purchase by
Charles NJ. Schwab. of the Bethlehem
Steel Company. of the American
Company's plants here and at Read
ing. The purchase price was given
as Sc, $500, on the basis of $3.50
per share for the 10000 shares of
stock represented in the plant, and
$4,000 common stock issue.
The sale Is made by the Board of
Directors subject to the approval of
tho stockholders, 80 per cent. of
who mhave already acQuiesced in the
deal, to the Penn-Mary Steel Com
pany, the subsidiary of the Bethlehem
Company, which holds property re-
Gently acquired by purchase from the
pennsylvania Steel Company. Pay
ment is to be made in twenty-year

The sale includes all the real estate,
plants and other properties, as we'll as
the franchises of the company, in this

PARCEL POST
IS VERY HEAVY
Additional Men, Wagons and
Automobiles Required to
Handle Mails

Incoming and outgoing parcel post
mails at the Steelton Post Office are
much heavier this Christmas season
tkan that of last. Judging from the
present outlook all previous records
for heavy deliveries will be surpassed
1t has been necessary for local pos
tai authorities to engage the services
of several additional carriers, three
delivery wagons and one automobile
truck. Aside from this added assist
ance, all employees are working over
time in order to clear away the daily
rush.
The opening day of the closing week
prior to Christmas to-day was marked
by an exceptionally large delivery.
The mornings work consisted of the
delivery of two large wagon loads in
the borough and sending 81 sacks of
parcel post out of the Office.
The incoming mails are much larger
for this time of the year than for sew
eral years, postal authorities assert.
If the rush becomes much stronger 1t
may be necessary to add several more
men.
During the latter part of the clos
ing week much of the mail was sent to
foreign countries. Records for this
class of mail have also been surpass-
ed, In the last week there has not
been n mail leaving the local office
that did not contain a present for a
friend or relative along the border.

beneficial to the railroad brotherhoods
or to organized labor in general.
Both sides will be satisfied if the
law as it stands is declared unconsti-
tutional or repealed. Repeal, how
ever, is thought to be improbable.
Agreement Is Expected
But if the law is declared constitu-
uonal the conferences between the
railroad managers and the brother
hood presidents have progressed so
far that they will Immediately get to-
gether and arrive at some sort of
agreement as to how the law shall be
applied to the various operating and
pay schedules. That, it was said yes
terday, is the most substantial prog
ress that has been made since the two
factions split month ago both on
the constitutionality of the law and
on its application to the railroad
schedules.
On the other hand. if the law is de-
clared unconstitutional, three methods
of settling the then reopened contro-
versy would be possible: A private
bargain between the roads and the
brotherhoods for a substantial wage
increase; a voluntary arbitration of
the demands of the brotherhoods, or
the operation of some such investiga-
tion scheme as the President proposed
to Congress at the last joint session.
