DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

/ am in love with q young man
about my age, but I am afraid he
doesn't care for me. We both
worked at the same place and while
there he made several engagements
and weiwent out together. Not very
long ago 1 left this place and
didn't see him any more, and he
made no effort in trying to see me
or even make an engament.
About a month ago l called him
on the telephone. He spoke right
pleasantly. but didn't say he want
ed to see me. He knows my phone
number, but never calls, as he al
ways waits for me to call him.
B. B.
/ am quite sure he would make
an effort to see you if he were
really interested, and cannot
see any reason why you should
do all the telephoning. Perhaps
if you didn't telephone for
awhile, you would find that he
would call you up. Most people
sit back and let the other fellow
do all the work if they con eet
away with that sort of program.

"On Earth Peace, Good Will

Is This Your State of Mind as Another Christmas Day
Comes Around!

Today you, with the rest of the Christian world cele-
bate the anniversary of the birth of Him who by teaching
and example did than any other advance people
h thought and conduct
The twenty fifth of December has always been the
agreed date of the birth of Jesus and for five centuries
after His death there agreement of opinion to
which of the three datesJanuary March 25 Decem-
Der 25-was correct.
But the date is the material factor of Christmas
The important thing that shall for day in the year.
at least obey the injunction voiced by Paul and Timothy
writing to those who at Phillipi
:Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ
Jesus"
part of Christmas Day might be proftably spent in
learning just what that "mnd was; just what it is wise
and right for US to cultivate in ourselves
If you want to read just what Jesus thought man
should be and do turn to the Sixth Chapter of st. Luke and
read from the twentieth verse on.
We learn there that should have CHARITY FOR
GIVENESS MERCY, LOVE, JUSTICE.
You Will note you read that Jesus finished this talk
with His disciples with series of parallels
Jesus the friend and companion of the plain poor
people and he talked that they could understand Him
The very simplicity of His life and of all He said has
vastly multiplied the influence Of Christianity
The story of Christ His ife His acts and His words
Is marvelousy interesting.
Every child should read it and every parent should
study it.
No 'learn of Him and not be bettered by the
instruction.
Christmas Day is splendid time to begin the reading
Of the New Testament After the presents have all beer
looked over and have been pleased with and dis
appointed with Others You learn something about
REAL gratitude and how to express it by reading of Hin
who gave the greatest of all gifts to mankind
Then you will have better and sounder idea of what
It should mean when you say, "A Merry Christmas

This Would Give Real Happiness
To Washington Children
By BILL PRICE.

Today We devoting much of our time to making tb,
children and young happy. Tomorrow may almost for
get them and lapse into the old routine
Washington has become such big city that the streets
are no longer safe for children Yet they play some
where In the summer the twenty-three Fairgrounds
throughout the city furnish delights the little ones and
aid in Keeping them from the dangerous risks Of traffic
1t is regrettabe that they have such opportunities,
winter Places where they gather in the enjoyment q
healthfu rational pastimes few They resort TO the
streets for skating eddng and other amusements While
the regular Fairgrounds open during all months except
January and February of the grounds is planned for
slelghng They furnish real enjoyment the children
except In months of warm mild weather.
Congress could make the little of Washington
happy by appropriations for winter sports
Until that is DONE though ism it possible for the police
and departments of the District COVE nmen 10
get together and set aside certain steep Washing
ton for seighing when and againi Thesc
places could be shut to old automobiles and other
traffic for few hours each afternoon that the children
might have their pleasures without molesaon or danger
Nc automobile driver would mind a short detour that
the children might benefit.
The suggestion offered for the consideration of Major
Pullman superintendent of police and Mrs Susie Root
Rhodes superintendent of yground with the hope that
it be arranged in advance that when the next snow
there will be nothing to do but announce the places
that are closed to traffic.
Appropriations for playground inspectors may not BE-
available, but where there's will there's a way Maybe
there's surplus of naured cops who could be spared
inspectors without wearing their uniforms 10 take the
joy out of it all.

To the Editor of THE TINES:
Your comment on How Canada Is
looking out for her fighting men,"
makes it evident to me, and, l believe,
to hundreds of other eX-service men
that not everybody in America is
dead to the needs of Americas cX-
army.
When the National army was in
the process of forming, the men went
into IL, whether dTaftees or yoiun-
teers, with the pride of absolute re-
spect and implicit confidence in the
Government of the United States.
Everyone knew that our natural re-
sources and national wealth were in
comparable. There was utterly no
reason why the United States should
not create. if necessary, the mightiest
army in the worlds history, and give
1t the most perfect equipment. So
great was the trust and esteem for
our country's Government and its
ideals that there was no question hut
that it could and would do every
thing humanity possible for the COM
fort and welfare of the men in the
service.
During the past year former ad-
mlration has given way to the realiza-
ton that the Government has done
far from all it could and should do
toward the men who fought that II
might continue to exist. The soldiers
were disappointed in the treatmcn,
they received while in service and
they are even more disappointed with
the treatment accorded them after
discharge. Men find that the high
standards of justice and worthy
principles so widely associated with
this Government are, to a very great
extent, pure sentiment. They do not
worl. out as was expected.
But the greatest disappointment is

conclusion that the unlimited of the twentieth century
