1NDER the stress of conditions, -the
 world has discovered that the gift this season to carry out the Christmas spirit must be personal, expressive, useful. What then would be more ac- ceptable than a chic hat-such as is to be found in the smart upstairs hat shop conducted by Mrs. Hamon at the southwest corner of First avenue and Adams street. That flight will save dollars.
 YOU ARE using your care more than ever this year. When you shop you drive to town with the patriotic spirit Of delivering your own parcels. When you sew for the Red Cross your car Is parked in front of the Chamber of commerce. When you attend the pie ture play for a bit of relaxation, you also drive, and on Sunday it is your greatest pleasure. You are really in your car as much as you are in your home. Yet did it ever occur to you that perhaps you were not giving the
 httle things" on the car the attention you give the details of your home? For instance-the automobile head Ights. Just see if they do not need re- plating and if they should, remember the Phoenix Plating Company, Joseph Ross, Manager.
 
 GIFTS of service in ivory are to bs
 found at Elvey & Hulett's. Beauty, durability and utility are combined in the articles we noted for milady's dressing table
 PRlNTED or engraved stationery or
 correspondence cards make the most acceptable Christmas gifts and those who patronize the Republican Print Shop will find the Christmas problem solved.
 A x AUTOMOBILE is an investment
 and as such one should exercise care before making a selection. One car might appeal for one of it's feat ures and yet be lacking in something you noted in another. See a number and compare. See them, too, at the Leach Motor Car Company, the agents for the Liberty offered at $500. the King priced S1S50, the Rec for which the Leach people recently secured the l agency and the Premier - the car beautiful, surely the one about which i there can be no dispute.

OUR government has asked that the jewellers conserve platinum. It is the only metal which will not melt 1 when brought in contact with the caps in the firing of guns by electricity Platinum is not very plentiful at any time and science has found attractive substitutes that are noted in the unique settings of jewels at the Graves 1 Indian Shop. It is the distinctive in 1 jewelry that makes it attractive and those to whom the quaint and beauti- 1 ful appeal will be charmed with the artistic offerings at the House of a i Thousand Gifts. The something diff l ferent to send east may be found in Indian novelties-buckskin bags.

The Dwindling Home

Your real estate investor has never
heard of Ellen Key, and Greenwich Village
is TO him only place where tenants are
Eighty and everything must be called a
studio TO rent speedily. But what the pub
lie wants forms his creed and Bible; and
when he moves, you can be sure that at
least his investment represents what he
thinks the public is crying for. If the
order is onyx for the Railways, it is be-
cause he conceives the public to be LISTING
after onyx with a passion that nothing
else will satisfy.
So the news that apartment hotels are
on the increase and that small suite apart
ments are rapidly growing in favor has a
real moral. The two developments repre-
sent the dwindling home, yielding up it's
ghost in two different directions, TO be
sure, yet dwindling, none the less. The

The Price of Peace and Pacihsm

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Referring to the letter published IN
to-days Tribune under the title "The Con-
scientious Director" let me state my con-
scientious objection to witnessing such a
dastardly crime as the hailing of Jesus Christ
as "chef of pscifsts.'
The Prince of Peace may be an honorable
title depending on the kind of peace desig-
mated. but one thing is certain, and that is, 1t
does not mean a German peace, dictated by
pacfsts.
Jesus Christ was man of infinite courage
and honor, champion of the weak and OPP
pressed and an advocate of force when love
proved unavailing. He scourged the thieving
money changers from the Temple, and it was
not pacfst's job. He will be with the ma
tions who are fighting to overpower the cow
ardy despoilers OF Belgium and will bless
the souls of those with the supreme courage
to die for principle even as He died.

Capital Necessary, Capitalists Not

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t seems strange in these enlightened
days that there is still a man so ignorant
as your correspondent from Amherst about
one OF the greatest political movements OF
the age. socialism. He seems to think that
socialists wish to abolish capital and grave
" argues that capital is necessary. He evil
IDENTIFY thinks that socialists are idiots, but
it is a serious reflection on his own intelli-
Cence to suppose that movement so I'M
mense, which numbers it's adherents by mill
ions, could be based on such an evident ao-
surdty. 1t is like the old argument that
government is necessary, therefore we must
have kings and aristocrats. OF course, capi-
tai is necessary, but capitalists are not. IL
the nation owned the capital, liberty loans
would not be necessary. The nation could
finance the war out of its own purse. Pri-
vateiy owned capital is the greatest obsta-
Gle to the successful prosecution OF the war.
Confiscation in the form of forced loans
or taxation will be necessary to make the
rich do without the incomes that must be
devoted to military expenses. The incomes OF
the poor cannot be taken, therefore the in
comes of the rich must be taken. Whether
we will or not. wealth must be socialized or
Germany will win. ARCHIBALD CRAIG.
