Post from the republican cause. The Post, after
starting with Harding. has switched to Cox The
democratic brethren are right too. 1t Is slg

country has not forgotten that scandal during
the war In which the Post figured prominently.

Bernstorf crew when the plan was on TO make
America pro-German, and 1t Ia now owned by
the Morgan intererts OF New York.

WHAT'S WHAT
Ry HELEN DECIE

Although the time now left for tho
buying OF Christmas gifts is little more
than q week, purchases should not be
made without due thought in advance
that Is to say, In advance Of the actual
shopping. A holiday counter with an
overworked sales clerk on one side and
n throng of anxious buyers on the other
side, Is no place to be "thinkln' long.
Git lists made out at home should
Nv not ONLY the names of the friends
10 be remembered, but also the names
OF the probable glfts-two or more
choices for each person in case 1t is not
possible to secure the first choice. This
precaution Is especially necessary when
books are TO be given, since foresighted
book-buyers always order these holiday
gifts long in advance. and because OF
preliminary sales, the regular retail
stocks are likely to be depleted long be-
fore mid-December.
In Christmas shopping. as in other
transactions, the first step 10 to know
what Is wanted the second Ia to secure
It before It is wanted: the rest Is as
easy as child's play.
