SANTA IN NEW ROLE

certain free rider among the auto
mobileless automobile riders in Whining
ton has a rare conscience, which seems TO
have been troubled considerably Of late
over the fact that his brother never would
let him fill the gasoline tank. Needless
to say, this man, like most of those tort1-
nate enough to have brother who owns
a car, has enjoyed the brothers machine
ad lib, but unlike so many of these less
fortunate brothers, this one has on IN
Vulnerable occasions offered TO buy gaso-
line. This rare generous impulse was as
often discouraged by the relative owner.
But the free rider has found u way TO
show hrs appreciation. santa Claus was
consulted, with the result that when the
owner of the car went to Magistrate
Stradlcy yesterday for his new automobile
tag he found it wrapped and ready for him.
Its all paid for said the magistrate
when the applicant rendered his green
backs.

The soda fountain proprietors are
having no trouble in collecting sigma
lures to their petition asking that the
tax be repealed. Every large estab-
lishment obtains several hundred sig
natures each day. The petition reads :
States, Washington, D. c.: We, the
undersigned, being patrons of soda
fountains and ice cream parlors, be-
lieve that the tax on sodas, soft drinks
and ice cream, when served at soda
fountains and ice cream parlors, is
unfair and discriminates against a
large and ever increasing number of
people. A large proportion of these
are wage earners, who at times use
soda fountains and ice cream parors
to procure light luncheon or refresh
or ice cream is taken as part of such
luncheon, or at other times is taken
as food.
eve protest against the tax on
sodas, soft drinks and ice cream, be-
cause they are taxed when served at
soda fountains and ice cream parlors,
and not taxed when served elsewhere.
eve also believe the tax on sodas,
soft drinks and ice cream is Unfair, be-
cause it is tax on only a small part
of taxable opportunity and is there
fore discriminatory.
eve find the tax on sodas, soft
drinks and ice cream when served at
soda fountains or in ice cream parlors
obnoxious and nuisance, particularly
at the busiest times of the day, and
therefore urge the immediate repeal of
this tax"

To tell New Workers tales of housing
shortage is much like carrying Goals
to Newcastle. Nevertheless there is
always q sort of comfort in the knowl-
edge that others are not much better
off than ourselves. Thus, according to
"The Manchester Guardian" conditions
in the Lancaster metropolis have
reached the stage where "house hunt
ing" has become one of the most ex-
asperating features of the struggle
for existence. We read:
"Certainly house hunters are becom-
ing bolder--urged on by desperation. a
friend has just returned after three
months absence to reopen her house,
and had hardly pulled up the blinds
before there came Il ring at the door.
She opened it, and without parey was
greeted with the demand from a re-
Specially dressed person, will you let
me two rooms?' The owner respect
fully declned; she did not wish to
share her house. How long have you
been here?' was, the next demand,
eagerly made, the applicant evidently
fearing that she had just missed
chance of whole house Forty years,
was the stolid reply and it was true.
Staggered by this miraculous instance
of immobility during the present times
of change and dissolution, the appi-
can't turned and descended the steps
