RUSSIAN CHRISTMAS GIFTS

There is still time to send Christmas presents
to children in Russia, the American Relief Adj
ministration announced The way to do it is to
send money to the Relief Administration at Al.
Broadway, New York City. In Russia this
money is transformed into American flour, fats,
sugar, rice, milk and tea. Specially consigned
food is delivered in Moscow within three weeks,
and in Odessa, Kiev and other cities within four
or five weeks.
The plight of the Russian children touches
American hearts. They are in dire distress
through no fault of their oyn. They are very
much worth saving. It is most encouraging to
persons wishing to contribute to the relief of
those millions of children to know that food
remittances from this country are honored
promptly in Russia, and that deliveries are be-
ing made regularly and with surprising speed.
1t does not require an unusual imagination to
recognize the shortcomings of daily diet of
only one bowl of soup and piece of bread. Yet
that small ration is all that stands between act
ual starvation and the hungry little Russians.
Ii Is so vastly better than nothing at all that
some OF them are said to be gaining weight
and filling out ernaciated limbs on that diet.
Americans who play Santa Claus to those chill
dren, by means of the food remittances, will
nave the assurance that they are adding good
zeal OF JOY and good will and perhaps, peace to
the world

John Shelton Williams, member of the re-
pudlated Democratic administration, is out with
letter charging certain large business concerns
with profiteering during the war. Well, we
nave little doubt that the charge is true. So
Tar as we could observe, every policy of the
Democratic regime was asuch as to encourage
proflteer1ng The Wilson administration adopt
ed the "cost-plus" plan of doing work for the
government, and this encouraged every man
and company with government contract to
push his costs as high as possible. It encourag-
ed contractors to hire more men than needed.
to pay higher wages than necessary, to waste
material and to multiply costs wherever pos
slbe. Every workman was thus encouraged to
loaf. Even the tax system adopted by the Will
son administration practically forced a large
concern to profiteer in order to be sure of max
ing profit enough to cover the tax. If Mr.. Will
llams charge is true, so much the worse for the
administration of which he was a cooperating
member. But while we have no defense to
make for the Democratic administration, we
do feet like remarking that Mr. Williams would
be in much better position to command atten-
ton for his criticisms if he had ever conducted
large concern of his own successfully and
without profiteering.

FOR-GET-ME-NOT DAY

December II is to be observed throughout the
nation as For-get-me-Not Day. The observance
is sponsored by the Disabled Veterans of the
World War.
These veterans have adopted the forget-me'
not as their flower On the day appointed,
clusters Of these blossoms will be sold every
where. No specific price will be asked. That
will be left to the generosity of the buyer. Ac-
cording to the head of the association. half OF
the money raised from the sale of the flowers is
to be used for the immediate relief of the men
and their families and the other half to OBJ
tain justice for the disabled veterans"
The public will respond freely to this appeal,
without doubt AS stop-gap pending the re-
organization of federal relief, the money rails
ed may be very helpful thing, Kindness
aside, there should be no reason for raising it.
The relief of the disabled is not matter
for charity. 1t is pubic duty. 1t should not
be necessary, either, for the disabled to raise
funds ito obtain justice" The money for their
relief has been voted by Congress, the people
are paying it in taxes and the administration
Is pledged to see that relief is forthcoming
That the whole business has been so bungled
that the association is impelled to ask for
private relief is serious matter. However
gladly the people of this nation buy the signifi-
cant blue flowers, the matter should not stop
there.

young man had not done more than
dirt with her q little.
81 cast my eyes upon him, and he
looked so good and true,
That I thought, 4 could be happy
with gentleman like YOU"
was the burdens Of Lillian's admission
to the police. She said that she had
become acquainted with Westbrook and
gone ont with hia, all the while be-
lieving him bachelor, and lad thought
he was fond of her in the manner
becoming TO bachelor. but oh, so un-
becoming in . married man.
"And now I have to tell you,
Though I'm sorry as can be,
That have winked at him,
And he has winked at me-"
Mrs. Westbrook was then appealed
to for her view Of the situation. Mrs.
Westbrook, herself a pleasant and
amiable person, Rverred that she was
. stieker, that she found Chef good
husband, and that his little strayings
were only the urge Of youth towards
brightness and adventure, and some
thing which she was sure he would
get over in time like an attack of
the measles. ...
So in the long run, everybody was
satisfied. and Chef released, only given
q lesson by the older men not to de-
ceive. Whenever he was met by a
pair of bright eyes, take deep breath
and with tremendous summoning of
will-power, shout, 9Th married
man." Then lot the rest happen as
il may.
A poem was then read the young
woman about the advice the four winds
gave when maid asked them how she
could make her lover true to hSr.
"Said the wind from out the south.
Lay no kiss upon mis- mouth
And the wind from out the west,
Wound the heart within his breast
And the wind from out the east,
Send him empty from the feast
And the wind from out the north,
in the tempest thrust him forth:
When thou art more cruel than he.
Then will levs be kind to thee"
Following a hearing in the West
brook case this morning in the NUM-
cipal court, Judge Tully ordered the
defendant TO leave town. The order
was found satisfactory by Mrs. West
brook, who declared that she believed
smother environment might prove salu-
! tary for her husband. She said that
when he had found work in his former
home town in Illinois, she would follow
with their child. Some literature
found on Westbroek's person when he
was searched convinced the court that

that Wsstbrp0k would do better to

There is one conclusion inevitably to be reach
ed from the recent rush for investments in
Liberty bonds, municipal bonds, and dividend
paying railroad bonds - that people find bonds
more attractive than industry. The rush for
bonds shows good supply of money for in
vestment, which is encouraging, but it would
be more encouraging if more ready money were
going into new houses and into construction and
development work generally. Of course, large
part of the state and municipal bonds represent
money to be spent in public improvements but
these improvements are undertakings for which
taxes must later be levied. It is worth while
to inquire why investors are paying increasing
ly higher prices for securities that remove their
activities from industry.

Woman .Ja.iler is
Kind to Prisoners
Strong Armed Woman Holds Sway
Over Bad Men in Texas
Jail.


San Angelo, Tex.-Kindness toward
prisoners is shown by Mrs. Pat Con-
way, jailer of the Tom Green county
Jail in San Angelo, but Mrs. Conway
uses force, if necessary, to control her
charges. She is the only woman jailer
in Texas, SO far as known, and one of
the few, if not the only woman jai1er
in the country.
For more than twelve years, Mrs.
Conway has had charge of all kind of
criminals, including the real bad men
Of the west, cattle rustlers, house
breakers, yeggs and petty thieves.
Care is given by Mrs. Conway to her
charges and in case one becomes i'll,
she feeds the prisoner with specially
prepared food from her own table. So
far as possible, she tries to make her
charges forget they are in prison and
to make the surroundings as comfort
able as possible.
On one occasion, Mrs. Conway was
tipped off that big negro prisoner
and others had planned to overpower
her and make their escape at meal
time. Calmly she began her duties
of giving them supper. The negro
edged toward the door of the cage and
ignored the command to move back
into his cell. Mrs. Conway had the
bunch of big keys in her hand and
with one blow rendered the prisoner
unconscious and forced the others
back into their cells.
Mrs. Conway has been a resident of
San Angelo since the days of old Fort
Concho. Her husband, Pat Conway,
janitor at the Tom Green county court
house, was soldier at Fort Concho
when it was frontier post.

Girl He Wooed as Bache-
lor Causes His Arrest
and Incarceration.
WIFE GOES TO RESCUE
Mrs. WestbroOk Pleads Young
Mans Cause and Ayers
that She Is Satisfied.

The young ladies who have made the
acquaintance of the debouair Chef
Westbrook, formerly q police officer,
will doubtless be sorry to hear that
"Chet" spent the weekend in the
Scoop; that Is, all with the exception
of one young woman, on whose COM
plant tbs former officer was given
lodgings in the old homestead. The
story reads like fiction, but when all
more than having been gay LothariO,
and he will be released from. custody
this morning. Investigation showed
that no one had been betrayed, as the
statute understands it, and that only
heart or two had been hurt, and that
is all in a life time and part Of the
lesson, as the young women will event
'ually take cognizance. Take it from
me, my dear, you will wake up some
morning and find that emotion has
gone and become experience.
But Miss Lillian only knew that Mr..
Westbrook was pleasant young man
with a pleasant smile. Also she knew
him as single. 1t was therefor some
thing of jolt when she woke from her
sweet dream last Saturday night.
,"Give me $780," said Lillian cheer
fully to the telephone operator last
Saturday night. That was Chefs num-
Der and the young woman wanted to
know why Chef had not kept his ap-
pointment with her.
"Hello, hello, $780," she inquired.
81 want to talk to Chester Westbrook."
"Mr. Westbrook is not at home, but
Mrs. Westbrook u.s." replied a sweet
voice.
"Oh, are you sure? Are you sure
he is married 2"
"Mrs. - Westbrook!" The xirl
at the other end almost tainted. "You
mean his mother?"
emo, his wife!"
"Quite sure. This is his wife
speaking.
"oh, the villain! And 1 was to have
been married to him."
But even then Lillian would not be-
lieve her ears. She jumped into q
taxi-cab and HE'D herself rapidly to
the boarding house where WestbrCok
lived There she met Mrs. Westbrook,
and confronted by the wife as living
actuality, the girl burst into tears.
Later, when she had recovered suf-
fciently to be composed, she went Ia
the police station and laid the case
before the chief. ,Westbrook was
found at the Northwestern station,
where he was waiting, it is alleged,
to go away with Lillian, and placed
under arrest. 1t was not the first time
that complaints of Westbrook's play
ing about with trusting hearts had
been made, and he was ordered held,
until an investigation had been made,
and the extent of the alleged injuries
to the maiden investigated.
Yesterday afternoon in the police
station after the chief had had talk
with both the wife and the girl, il was
decided that there was nothing to hold
the young man on.
The young woman admitted that the

Officials are public servants, not masters. Heal
