II is a beautiful custom-that Of
giving gifts at Christmas time.
It's practice IN modern years has
made = customary not only to send
remembrances to relatives and close
friends; but also 10 those who are as.
ISOLATED near US in work. and who do
small favors as matters Of daily duty.
The maid who cares for her lady's
,rardrobe the postman or carrier who
brings the daily mail or paper. the
policeman who signals your automo-
bile at the crossing-these people are
thought Of nowadays Just as naturally
as are the members Of the household,
when the list is made out for those
who shall receive gifts.
And this is a very worthy expires.
sion Of the spirit OF givng-it mani
tests the spirit Of True Gft-GVng.
And without dlsparaging the giving
of gifts among closer friends. we may
well remember how much Of gladness
and gratitude we may prompt in the
hearts Of others by sending the slight
but useful gift-that is not wholly ex-
pected.
After all, the ritter who first
penned the words expressed a beau
tifuI truth. when ne said: lis sweet
to be remembered"

BRYAN TURNS DOWN
DEBATE CHALLENGE
Refuses to Discuss Preparedness
With Congressman Gardner.

Former Secretary of state William j.
Bryan is not joint-debating the pre-
paredness question.
This was learned today. together with
the fact that Bryan does not care to
speak from the same platform on the
preparedness issue with Congrsasman
Gardner of Massachusetts, radicaINna-
tional defense leader and a pro-Roose-
welt worker.
Plans to have Bryan and Gardner hold
a Joint debate here on peace and pre-
paredness next Saturday night were
called OF. 1t was desired that they
speak before the Economic League.
Colonel Roosevelt was first invited to
speak with Bryan. and when Roosevelt
declined because of his West Indian
trip. Gardner was invited to fill the gap.
That the invitation to Gardner has
been withdrawn at the suggestion of
Bryan became known today. The Eco
nomic League was said to be some-
what embarrassed in explaining the sit
uation to Gardner. who assented, how
ever. saying he was in poor physical
trim anyway and welcomed the change

st. Louis Is Balloting
Over Segregation Bill

ers today arc deciding by ballot
whether colored people here shall be

Colored people would be prohibited
