Carrying the "Star
Of Bethlehem"
THE Star of Bethlehem as seen il

TIME Star of Bethlehem as seen in
Holland is a pretty, but a cheap
sight, for it costs nothing. TITS
the harbinger of Christmas, huge
Illuminated star, which is carried
through the silent, dark Dutch streets,
shining upon the crowding people and
typical of the star which once guided
the wise men of the East.
The young men Of Dutch town who
go to the expense of this star, which
Is carried through the streets as sig
nal that Christmas has come once
again. are swayed by the full intention
of turning the Star of Bethlehem to
account.
They gather money from the crowds
for the poor, and, having done this for
the good of those whom fortune has
not befriended, they betake them to
the head burgomaster of the town,
who is bound to set down the youths
who form the star company to a very
comfortable meal. TITS a great insti-
tuition, the Star of Bethlehem in many
Dutch towns and cities. And may ii
never die out, for it does harm to no
man and good to many.

Many of the children are orphans

of them suffer from a peculiar spe-

THE LIGHTING SYSTEM.

The frequency of the cutting off
of the electric current in High Point
lis getting on the nerves of the PEG
pie, especially those who use the
power. Every little storm and off
goes the lights and power to come
on again in from five minutes to
two hours. Surely High Point de-
serves better service.
The Public Service Co. should
make a strenuous effort to remedy
the trouble. 1t sells not only the
electric current but gas as we'll and
the poor electric service thus forces
the stores and other business houses
to install gas. Should the Public
Service Go. by its failure to give
good electric service also force the
people to take gas as a protection ?
Does this look good to the people
Yet this is the very thing they are
doing, whether intentional or not.

PERSONAL PROPERTY LEVY
S1OOOOOOOO

The Senate finance committee
Friday decided to require indiyid-
uals to pay war excess profits tax.
This means that professional men,
lawyers, doctors and others will be
levied upon. 1t is estimated that the
tax On individuals would bring in
about S1OOOOO,OOO, and some ex-
perts assert that the sum would be
much larger. AS in the case of cor
poratiOns, individuals would have an
exemption of $4,000.
The House provision for an in
crease of one cent on irst-class mail
matter was retained by the commit
tee for letters, but not for postal
cards. 1t was estimated by the Pro-
vost Office department that the
House bill would bring in $7O,OOO,-
900 by the advance of one cent !;
without the postal card tax the
yield should be close to S6O,OOO,OOO.
