real assistance to the regular railroad
brotherhoods as well as the rest of the
country. The government may take
some action against these union "out-
laws but it is not likely to amount
to any more than its action against the
coal strikers. If there was a definite
law against striking with fixed penal
ties for violation of the act the gov
crnment would be in stronger posi-.
ton and the brotherhoods could STOP
the rebellion within their own ranks
The present strike illustrates the dan
ger of giving irresponsible and radica

Irene's Christmas
Letter---And What
Happened to 1t

, OF all the merry crowd that had
been invited to visit Santa Claus at
the toy store that Saturday after
noon, none went away more dis
couraged than little Irene Newber-
ry.
She had fingered among the toys,
wishing she might have few for
her own. The only toys she ever
possessed were a rag doll and a
small doll cart, given her by a
charity committee. She had never
forgotten their visit and wondered
If they would call again this year.
AS the children chatted merrily
with Santa Claus she heard him
say, NOW children, you must write
me a letter telling me what would
like to have"
Irene had never written a letter
to anyone and she did not know
how to go about it. 1t was quite
dark when she reached home and
her mother was anXiously waiting
for her. Irene told her all about
the beautiful toys and how Santa
had asked them all to write him a
letter.
"Do you think l could write him
a letter, mother?" she said.
Irene DEAR" said her mother.
you might try, but l am afraid
Santa will not find us this year.
Everything is so high, and if we
can just manage to get the neces-
saries am sure we should be sat
isfied."
All that evening, Irene tried to
frame a suitable letter to Santa and
when she finally dropped the en-
velope into the mail box, she felt
relieved and went to bed dreaming
of the toy store and Santa.
The next morning as the mail
man on his usual round found tina
little unstamped letter in the box,
he glanced at the address and put
1t carefully in his coat pocket.
That evening another little girl
was busy planning. The postman
had taken the Santa Claus letter
home to his little invalid daughter
Carolyn: She could not enjoy
Christmas as other children, but
this letter suggested to her new
and happy idea. Together with the
aid of her father and mother she
decided to play Santa Claus to
Irene Newberry. ~
The days from then till Christ
mas were busy ones for Carolyn.

It was late ono Christmas eve.
The wind was blowing fearfully

the windows of a little cottage

from the kitchen saying. "You had
better go to bed now or Eanta won't

A Selfish Child
Dear Sanity: Do you have a
permanent home,

Dear Sanity: Do you have
permanent home,
Where could talk to you all alone?
You may think am a selfish child.
You can tell much better after l
talk to you a while.
Bring me a present that is priced
very high,
That no other child can afford to
buy.
Don't bring any candy or any other
sweet stuff,
I'm afraid my brother will take a
bite before l am up.
When / get candy and nuts and
sweet bread,
| keep them until night and eat
them in bed.
Mother tells me am selfish, that
is not right.
But have such a knack of holding
on tight.
Now Sanity, my stocking will be
striped WIN Dlue,
You can tell it from the rest for it
will be just brand new.
There is brothers and sisters and
one for the nurse,
You can put all the nice things in
my stocking first.
Bring me wrist watch that l can
lock tight,
So my sister can't wear it to dances
at night,
And a gold cavalier that locks under
the chin
So my sister can't wear it when
she goes out with jim;
And a big Victrola that stands on
the floor,
Remember | don't play with dolls
any more.
All the dolls you brought are
packed away tight.
They play with one another all day
and all night.
Mother says am selfish, that is
not right,
But l have such a knack of holding
on tight.
Oh yes, bring me a. kodak with
leather so brown,
l will hide it in the closet when my
brother is around.
After you fill my stocking and
Nave anything left
Just lay the other things down on
the shelf.
You selfish girl, it would be worth
while
To give all your presents to some
poor little child.
l would give them away if they
we're mine,
And make someone happy at this
Christmas time.
l have story books and dishes and
toys of all kinds,
And I'm going to keep them for
they are all mine.
l have a nice sled with runners SO
bright
I used to ride on it on cold winter
nights.

right,
If l live until next Christmas l
won't hold so tight.
