fire BURNS OUT HENRY'S
TAILOR ESTABLISHMENT
Bottom Falls Out of Bottle of Case
line, Causing Disastrous Fire This
Morning.

Fire, which broke out this morn
ing on the second floor of the tailor
ing establishment of G. j Henry,
Esq, completely Quilted the entire
floor before it was gotten under con-
troll by the Fire Department. The
fire. which started about twenty min
utes after nine o'clock, resulted from
the bottom coming out of a gallon
bottle of gasoline.
The boy whom Mr.. Henry had sent
for gasoline stated that the bottom
dropped out just as he was putting
it on the table. but the consensus of
opinion seems to be that in putting
the bottle up he accidentally struck
it against the top Of the table. How
ever, the whole gallon of gasoline
was poured on the floor and quickly
ignited from gas stove which was
being used to heat irons. In a mo-
4 'ent the whole upper floor of the
building was ablaze, and it was only
with great difficulty that the man up
stairs succeeded in escaping before
he was badly burned; his clothing
caught fire, but the flames were eZ-
tinguished by State Senator An
drews, who happened to be nearby.
Mr.. Henry, with the assistance OF
persons passing, succeeded IL savir g
practically everything on the first
floor, including his stock of suitings,
etc, but all of the clothes on the sec
ond floor, including many that were
there for the purpose of being clean
cd, were burned. 1t is not knowl
just what the loss will be, as MI.
Henry has not had time yet to com
pletely figure same, but it will likely
be in the neighborhood of from ST.
200 to $1,000.

GETTING N GIVING

The holiday trade in Memphis has broken all records. The
close Of the shopping season finds the shelves of the merchants
stripped bare of goods purchased for the Christmas trade.
Never before have there been so many persons on the streets
willing and anxious to buy, and with money to pay Tor what
they bought. The exceptional amount Of trade may be attribv
uted to two things: the prosperity of those who have never
before had enough money to indulge themselves in the fancy for
luxuncs, and the wealth of those who have always had money,
but have made more than ever before.
The price has not interfered with the sale of any article that
caught the fancy of the shopper, The money was spent with the
same ease with which it was earned. Shoppers from the immc-
diate section surrounding Memphis have had a great year, The
cotton crop was good, and the price was satisfactory, In addi-
ton, many farmers, more than ever before, raised practically
everything they consumed in the food line, and the proceeds
from their money crop, instead Of being diverted to meat and
bread, were available for clothing, diamonds, automobiles, toys
for the children or whatever appealed to their passing whim.
One of the outstanding features Of the season has been the
generosity of those who have prospered, OF course all have not
shared alike in the bounty that has seemingly blessed our
people. The widows, the children, the homeless, the sick and the
afflicted have not been forgotten nor overlooked. Through the
generosity Of its friends The News Scimitar Goodfellows club
has been able to minister to those who live in obscure places
who feel the pinch Of poverty, and feared as much as the chill
dren anticipated with gladness the approach OF Christmas,
With each recurring Christmas season we are reminded Of
the good that is in humanity. We see manifested on every
hand a kindly generosity and a broad sympathy that we some
times lose sight OF when consumed with the thought Of our own
affairs.

UNHAPPY RUSSIA

What is to be done with unhappy Russia? Millions Of
people are in a state Of nature without government or guidance,
without protection or defense, without any security save what
each can provide for himself, and what is more appalling, with
out food. Hunger arouses all the animal in a people, and
disorder and rapine follow. The only safe people in Russia are
those who have nothing Of which they may be deprived by
superior force. Their lives are in peril. Despotism has been

reign Of terrorism.
The Bolshevk has no head, controlling force or cohesive
organization, The people are sheep without a shepherd when
the snow shuts out the sky" The allies had a big undertaking
in crushing out Pussianism. They have a task OF equal magni-

the task Of rebuilding their waste places. To millions in Russia
the world is again in primeval barbarism. A new beginning
must be made, a civilization must be organized, and while this
