JUST A WORD

While we are interesting ourselves in so
many public enterprises that make for the
good of the nation and the aid of the gov
-rnment, let us not forget one OF Our duties
to the girl behind the counter. to whom
his season of the year is always difficult,
this season of the year is anyways defficult,
erased Christmas trade in Pensacola ow-
ing to the number of visitors and service
men.
Emerson says ''for everything you have
missed you have gained something and for
everything you gain you lose something y
This is only another way of saving that
there is price to pay for everything and
that there is compensation in all things
Christmas is a time of barter and of sale,
but if SO, it is also time of giving, of low
ing. 1t is time when burdens are laid on
some of us, btu! great joy is given to many
OF us. Because it is a time for giving it
must be a time for selling. And because
SO many are to be made happy some of us
must be sacrificed. The mother gives her
self gladly that her children may have a
happy Christmas. All of us have part
to do. And certainly the girl who stands
all day behind the counter seems to carry
more than her share of the burden.
1t IS the price she has to pay toward the
debt that civilization owes to the ages But
we can each one of us lift that burden a
little If we will by trying to be more pa
tient. more cheerful more considerable in
this last minute shopping that is upon u.s.
And one very practical way that the girl
behind the counter may be helped and
shopping may be made easier is by max
ing out your lists before you leave home.
Have your shopping list ready, know what
you want and waste as little time as pos
sible over its purchase,--and be patient.

OUT OF FASHION

The knocker has entirely gone out of
fa shion. Time was that he flourished in
tie United States under the pseudonym of
the conservative. But today, in the face
CT events, the obstructionist and the knock
er have been barred from society, which
has no room for those who are: not con-
structive in their policies.
This is no time for men Or women who
whine. 1t is an hour in the worlds history
when people must be up and doing, when
they are needed to help, not to hinder, to
build up not to pull down.
1t is easy to find fault with what others
are doing. Anyone may be self-consti-
tuted critic of the work of others. There
IS no person or enterprise or community
that is perfect, SO the critic has always a
field before him, ready to his hand.
But when he places himself in the role
Of critic he at once sets himself back in the
class of the has-beens For the man of
today who is doing things, who is accom-
plishing, building up, aiding and helping
has no time for petty fault-fnding of the
constructive work that other people are
doing.
This nation needs workers. Even the
workers who make mistakes but who mend
them are better than the man or woman
who does nothing but criticize the actions
of others.
If we are doing our part we shall not
have time to criticise the other man or
woman, nor shall we have the motive For
il is always the latent sense Of lack in
ourselves that furnishes spirit to search for
lack IN those about us.

CITY ARRANGING
TO GUT DOWN
LIGHTS ON STREET

With a view of taking in the sit
uation to ascertain just how many
lights could safely and without detri-
ment be turned off for two nights in
the week, the city commissioners,
with representatives of the Pensacola
Electric Company, made trip to all
sections of the city last night, Act
ing Police Captain Tarrants. accom-
panying them. The large Super-Six
Hudson auto, which recently figured
in an escapade recently in Pensacola,
was used to make the trip.
This step is taken in line with or
ders from the fuel administrators
local representative, the plan being
to cut out as many lights as posi-
BILE on Sunday and Thursday nights,
with the idea of conserving coal.
The commissioners will get together
probably today and check over list
of lights which will be darkened for
the two nights in the week named
until further orders
The board will follow the admins
traitors suggestion and use but one
of the cluster of three lights which
nightly will illumine Pensacola's
white ways" There are three lights
on each of over fifty clusters, and, as
stated, two of these will be cut out,
at least after the rush hours of the
evenings

'US0NA' NAME
Of LITTLE LADY

NJ. G. Hoffman,, of the Pensacola
Excelsior Company. has coined a
name for his little daughter entirely
original and extremely patriotic.
Using the initials of the words United
States of North America, he has
probably selected a name for the
little girl not known outside of this
city. This is the way he tells of it,
in a letter to the editor of The
Journal:
L S o A.
On the 18th day of December,
1905, our home was blessed with a
handsome little baby girl. We well
coined her with the usual degree of
enthusiasm. We had expected the
Stork~to drop her down our CHM
ney for sometime and had prepared
to make her boarding and rooming
place pleasant. Now, all this I know,
is commonplace.
But, there was one preparation
that was extraordinary. We had
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1917-12-20

determined that this new denizen of
mother earth, should have an abso-
lutely new, patentable name. It has
been said, '"There is nothing new I'M
der the SUM-" So the task was a
hard one.
Of course,t he name should be odd.
1t should be striking. 1t should have
a pleasing, euphoneous sound. It
should avoid the hard sound of ar"
and any short vowel sounds and have,
if possible, the smooth, soft italian
vowel sounds and it should have a
meaning, and that meaning should be
patriotic.
1t should begin with an odd letter.
The letter "U" might do.
Time passed. No solution to the
name problem: Finally, like flash
of lightning, it occurred to US that
the first letters of
=. s tates -
YEEh Of
A merica-
u S o N A, pronounced, U-SO-NA,
would fulfill all the requirements of
the long-sought-for name of our
daughter
She is the first and original Usona.
Since then, many baby girls have re-
ceived this new and patriotic name.
In this hour of great national peril
and oncoming suffering when all
good American citizens should stand
by the United States of North Amer
lea, it would seem eminently fit and
appropriate to name a goodly num-
Der of baby girls-"USONA."

LEARNING TO SAVE

America is the richest country in the
world in point of natural resources, yet
today we are facing a serious crisis as re-
CARDS feeding our population, and the
matter becomes more complicated when
we consider that besides feeding her own
the United States must also help feed the
starving nations of the earth.
In the streets of Jerusalem and beyond
the Jordan in Damascus and the Syrian
desert and throughout Lebanon a million
helpless survivors of the greatest tragedy
in history appeal to humanity. 1t is esti
mated that in Asia Minor alone five hun
dred thousand are destitute; in Syria, in
GLIDING Palestine 200, 900; in the Caucasus,
$4,000 and in Persia 9OOO0-and these
figures represent but handful of those
who are appealing to the United States for
food.
The capture OF Jerusalem by the British
will do a part to alleviate suffering III
Palestine but only a part. For in England
the government is asking that no one come
tc England for any but urgent business.
I'VE have not one loaf of bread to share
with anyone who has not some business
here, says a high British official. So we
cannot look to England nor can we look
to France or Italy to do more than they
are now doing.
mere III our OWN country SdCIlllCc ldS
hardly touched us. Here we do not know
the real meaning of deprivation, yet.
But we will know it, we must know it
unless we cease to waste and learn to save
SO seldom have the people of the United
States been called upon to save that it is
a difficult thing for them to conserve even
the necessities of life as they must be CON
served, in order that all in this country and
abroad may be adequately supplied.
So serious is the coal situation that Fuel
Administrator Garfield has given the
Michigan administration authority to shut
eff supplies at all industrial plants if neces
sary to meet the needs of the domestic
consumers. Yet in many places the fact
is not faced that coal famine may yet re-
suit, indeed has already resulted in many
parts of the country
The mines are being urged to do all that
is humanity possible to increase the output
and both railroads and industrial plants
are being called upon to save in every pos
sible way, IN order that coal for domestic
purposes may be obtained.
But still waste goes on in every direc-
ton and simply because the people of the
United States have not yet learned how to
save.
One Pensacola woman has reduced her
fuel bill through the use of a fireless cooker,
and this is an excellent plan. Not only can
fuel be saved in this way but much time
and nervous energy, as it takes less than an
hour to prepare a substantial meal and
l. zee it in the cooker.
The woman who cannot afford cooker
can make one at home at small expense,
Under the direction of the United States
government, who will furnish directions
through the agricultural department..
