But the fact was that no one had

be played by men or on common &C.
casions.
On Christmas eve all Of the people
in the city brought their offerings to
the church to offer to the Christ child,
and when the greatest and best offer.
ing was laid on the altar, there would
come sounding through the music OF
the choir the voices Of the Christmas
chimes far up in the tower. Some
said the wind rang them and others
that they were 20 high angels would
set them swinging. But for many long
years, o. was said before, they had
never been heard. The minister said
that people had been growing less
careful Of their gifts for the Christ
child, or gave them rather to make z
display for their own honor than for
love Of him, 80 that no Offering wa
brought good enough to deserve the
music Of the chimes. Still, every
Christmas eve, the rich people Of the
city crowded to the altar, each one
trying to give some better gift than
anyone else, and the church was flled
with those who thought that perhaps
the wonderful bells would ring again.
But, although the music was sweet

A Kansas City street car passen-
ger has up and given Chicagoans a
good bunch. We mean the Chicago
ans who ride in cold street cars and
freeze their hands hanging to straps
and nip their toes standing on cold
floors.
The conductor on the Kansas City
car stepped up to this passenger and
told him he would have to cut out
smoking in the car. The passenger
for answer disclosed a small oil stove
between his feet. The wick had been
turned too high, causing it to smoke.
"This car is too cold for a. long
ride" he explained, and was allowed
to keep the stove burning.
Get out your oil stove, folks.

ALL ROUND TOWN

A gent who works at the Common
wealth Edison Co. sent an interest
ing little card into The Day Book
Office. He merely wrote on it: "This
we get for a raise in wages" The
card reads: High cost of living is
due to waste" And then down in
the corner it reads: Commonwealth
Edison Co."
We are printing this to give due
credit to the concern for having dis
covered what really causes the high
cost Of living. OF course, if you are
drawing down a nice, fat salary like
bosses of the Commonwealth Edison
Co. are, then you can afford to waste
to your hearts content. But if you
are getting less than a living wage
from that or any other company,
then you've got to save. However,
how kin you save when you amt got
no money to buy stuff?

EXPECT DEFINITE WORD TODAY
ON TROOP WITHDRAWAL

Washington, Dec. %. - Definite
clearance of the doubt over Car
ranza's position on the American
Mexican troop withdrawal protocol
was expected today. Chairman Luis
Cabrera of the Mexican side Of the
Joint peace commission had an ap-
pointment to present the first chiefs
answer to Chairman Lane of the
American side.
Meantime it developed that AM
bassador Designate Arredondo prob
ably will leave here within the next
two weeks and may be replaced by
Cabrera.
Arredondo for long time is said
to have felt keenly the fact that his
government and himself we're not
fully recognized by this administra-
ton.
It is believed CarranZa finally will
sign the protocol, but will accompany
the signed copy with a note explain
ing he objects to some of its terms
while being satisfied in general with
it's purposes.
If he does not sign the protocol a
frmer policy toward Mexico will I'M
doubtedly result, according to official
limitations.

that he was not in form. and when
the first man up in the second hit
safe he used the derrick and sent
Chambers in. Even this big fellow

the visitors scored two more runs in

Device Measures Road Wear.

To the casual bystander the mixing
Of all concrete may seem to be the
same process repeated over and over
again according to the same formula.
This is not so, however, as different
proportions of Ingredients are used for
the different purposes which the fin
ished product must serve. Particular
~ Is this so In the case OF concrete
roads. To determine the durability OF
this or that mixture in actual service
engineers have devised apparatus by
which the wear on concrete road sur
face from year to year can be deter
mined to 1900 of an inch. The dew
ice is described in the Engineering
Record The results Of such tests will
not improve the condition Of the par
ticular road on which they are made,
but they will indicate how better roads
may be built in the future.

that as we do tn many other Things.
There have been wonderful changes In
all matters relating to transportation
since the introduction Of the motorcar,
but there are still greater things to
come.
I'VE have worked for good roads for
the reason that they are of equal eco
nomic benefit in the final analysis to
all, and it is only just and right that
the people of our country should have
the advantages to which they are en-
titled. We have worked for unrestrict.
ed intercourse between the states
through the use of motorcars, because
that is constitutional right that has
been denied us. We have asked for
equal taxation. That is another COLI
stitutional right that has been set aside,
partly because we submitted to 1t will
Iingly. l admit, but 1t is an injustice
and constitutes Unfair treatment just
the same.
"In addition, the owners Of motor
cars are being subjected to all sorts OF
petty annoyances-specfal taxes. L.
censes and rules and regulations re-
garding traffic, use Of lights and many
restrictions. seldom alike in two places.
and which subject decent men and wo-
men to arrest and conviction, often for
the most trivial reasons. Much has
been accomplished, it is true. but there
yet remains much to be accomplished
before it can be truthfully said that
the owner Of a motorcar is not sub
jected to annoyances and unfair treat
ment which is not visited upon those
who employee other road vehicles"
