Says Most Of the Shoplifters Are Doing Their
Christmas Coping Early.
BY John p. Medbury.

This is the time OF the year when
we do our holiday shopping. De-
cember 18th should come on jan
uary I'd because merchandise is al
ways cheaper after Christmas.
A Christmas gift is only an ex-
PRECISION and this year q lot Of us
are going to have blank look.
December 25th is the day when
people are supposed to exchange
gifts, but December 26th is the day
that most Of them are exchanged.
There In an old saying that Fig
ures don't lie," but you'll find out
differently when you take q gift
back to the store and try to get the
amount Of money that's on the price
tag.
Every price ticket tells a story,
but most Of them lie.
It's a wise price mark that knows
it's own author.
The stores tell us to do our Christ
mas shopping early. but who wants
to buy any presents until we know
whether we're going to get any?
The florists tell US to "Say II with
flowers" but after we look Mt the
price Of them we get lOckjaw.
Everybody knows that flowers
have a language, and their language

The Dear Me" Letter Contest
started off yesterday with bang!
Early today letters came to the desk
of the contest editor. and he found
them good and interesting. From all
parts of Washington and surrounding
territory they came-letters from
men, women, girls and young men.
Some samples of the letters will be
found below. Each OF these wins
pair of orchestra seats at the Ma
tional Theater, and they are also In
line for the cash prizes OF $lb and $lo
to be awarded to the best two letters.
An order calling for pair OF or
chestra seats some night next week
will be mailed tonight to the writers
of the letters published In this col
umn.
There is fascination in the. thought
of writing letter to yourself, par
ttcularIy when you are going to think
back over your days work and pleas
ure, and tell yourself of your mistakes
and successes-whether you did or
said something that gave pleasure. to
others and consequently to yourself,
or whether you did just the opposite.
Dear Me" Plan.
The Dear Me" letter contest is
based on this idea.
Here is the plan:
In the comedy. Dear Me-" in which
Grace La Rue and Hale Hamilton are
starring at Ford's Theater. Miss La
Rue is first seen In the role of April
Blair. April is a drudge, n slavey In
an institutional home for artistic
and literary failures, men Of profess
sions who have not made good at their
calling. The Home is supervised by a
Mrs. Carney as housekeeper. a ter
magant who makes things miserable
for all about her. April has charm
ing philosophy, all her own in which
her purpose is to make others happy.
She conceives the method of writing
letters to herself daily in which she
reviews her purpose, criticizing her
failure to live up to it. or praising her
success each day.

Oneida TRUS TEES
Burns Forced by iii Health to
Quit as President of Great
Mountain School

| A very interesting meeting of
the trustees Of Oneida Institute
was held Wednesday at ten a. m.
at the Baptist Church headquar-
tiers, EOS East Chestnut street,
Louisville. DR.. O. DIN Green, of
this city, who has served as
chairman of the Board OF Trus-
tees for the past two years, was
reelected for the following year.
This was the most largely attend
ed meeting for several years.
i Those present were, Mr.. Silas
Mason, of Lexington; Hon. B. F.
Proctor, Bowling Green; Dr. O.
O. Green, Richmond; Mr.. ]. II.

Rev. F. NJ. Walters, Manchester;

Mr.. David T. Layman, New York
and Mr.: T. L. Adams. Oneida.
On account of a recent physical
breakdown, President !. A.
Burns, asked to be relieved Of all
responsibility for the conduct of
the school which he founded ri
years ago and which has been
supported largely by his untir-
ing efforts all through the years.
Mr.. Burns is now in Florida Civ
ig himself to an unlimited period
of rest.
TWAS thought best. however,
to retain Mr.. Burns name with
the school organization so he was
elected president emeritus. This
will have tendency to hold the
many friends which Mr.. Burns
has made for the school, and vet !
relieve him OF the many heavy
burdens in caring for the hnan-
cial interests and management |
Of the school.
The question Of turning Oneida
institute over to the Home Mis-
sion Board at Atlanta, was thor
oughly discussed but the decision
was unanimous in favor of re-
tanning it just as it is, namely, in
the hands of the trustees and the |!
Baptist Educational Society of
Kentucky. It was felt that those
who live nearest the school
would have more interest and
could do more for the school than
some other organization so far
away.
DR.. O. E. Bryan who was pres
ent as a visitor during a part of
the session, assured the Trus-l
tees that Oneida would receive
at least $4,000 from the IS Mil
ion Dollar Campaign.
Oneida Institute now has over
$50 pupils and has done splendid
work during the year. This
school has doubtless done more
tor the mountain boys and girls
ot Kentucky than any school of
is size in ali the country.

money invested in the splendid

Washington, April Sin a
conference with a good roads
delegation at the White House
today, President Harding made
clear his opposition 20 federal
| appropriations for the construc-
ton of roads until the states
have adopted'an adequate system
Of maintenance. so that the road
beds will not become worthless
in two or three years.
The views of the Chief EXecu-
tive on this point were stated
emphatically. 1t is a subject to
which he has given considerable
thought. In his opinion the coun=
try is now spending millions of
dollars which are wasted so far
as any permanent good is con
.cerned. 1t was said that under
the present policy in force in
most states $4,000 a mile is ex-
pended for the construction of
roads which within a short time
become impossible because Of
the failure to spend about $50 per.
mile for upkeep.
Before the bonds, which were,
sold to provide funds, are one
quarter paid, the roads are gone
and 1t is necessary to put out a
contract for new construction
The federal government cannot
assume the expense of mainten-
ance, in the view of the Presi
dent. 1t is held that some patrol
system must be devised, which
will insure the proper care for
every foot of highway.
Among plans, which the Presi- !
dent suggests that the states can
adopt, IS to utilize the entire
funds from automobile license
Tor maintenance and new con-
struction, if necessary raising the
tees to provide adequate funds,
on the ground that vehicles
which do most damage should
pay the cost.

Harding On Good Roads

Advocates OF good roads can
not but commend the position Of
President Harding in the matter
of federal aid to states and coun-
ties. Concisely, it S that the
government will not provide
funds for building the roads, I'M
less the states guarantee that
they are to be properly maintain
ed after they are built. Kentucky
does this, as Madison county will
