of the ordinary details of decent liv- ing and obedience to law.
 It is a pleasure. therefore. to note an urrusual event which brings the spirit Of the Golden Rule byforc us so vivtdly. One may imagine the renewed zcst with which those work CTS who have given up months pay in order that others. who have no chance to earn 1t, may do so. One may imagine the gratitude of those others. One may imagine the splen- did feeling all around.
 skeptics may say: You can't get rich doing things like that" or The employees wanted to take a rest any way" with scathing cynicisrn.
 The latter may be true, in part; the former statement is a perversion of the truth. even though riches from material point of view are con- sidered.
 For those who practice the Golden Rule will find that. as their habit is recognized. it will be practiced upon them more and more and they will benefit. And then will come those longed for days.

CONSIDER THE JEWS

It would seem that the matter of the belief Of the. Jews in this country would settle any controversy about making the Christian Sunday officially more strictly observed.
 Perlaaps not half of the citizens of tho United State are of tho Jewish race but a great percentage of the popula- tion is composed of Jews or de- cendants of Jews.
 There Is no more law-abiding class Of citizens in the country than the Jews. There Is none which. as a class. displays deeper affection and takes better care of those dependent upon them. The are home-lovers. And the home is the rock about which Amer icanism Is built. The Americanism of the Jews here has never been ques- toned. What a terrible disrupting of the united strength of our land would result from ds first overstep- ping Of our country's creed of re- ligious freedom.
 The members of the Jewish race are not primarily revolutionists. Their courage: their steadfast clinging to their traditions and rights is not doubted. They proved themselves m the recent war. But rather than bring revolution into a country where they have lived and prospered-a country which they love. they would probably remain silent were official action to be taken to enforce a more rigid sob servance of Sunday. At least there would be no violence.
 But they would point to the Consti- tuition of the United States. guarantee ing religious freedom. and go about their business of labor for them selves and those they love. with hard ly the same feeling toward those who make and enforce tho laws that they now posses.

RED CROSS ON THE JOB.
Reformers. have a care!

Modestly appears the item that the Red Cross will not vacate it's room at City Hall this month. The Home Serv- ice section of the organization has too much work to do. Last month saw the greatest amount of business in its his- tory transacted.
 Perhaps the ex-service man knows the ex-service mans mother or wife or children know most about the Homo Service Section.
 One who has worked in or with this branch Of the great Red Cross is able 10 realize how it's workers pierce forests. go to the most remote portions of the country, endure discomfort if not hardships to look up and aid the families of the men of the war; { knows of the mass of detail work Gonc in it's office.
