Lace blouses are among the smart

those made of dyed laces. A lace

SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS

If there is one human characteristic
which distinguishes US from animals,
it is the spirit of Christmas-the man.
Hesitation of which is shown in the joy
of giving. This year in Oakland the
spirit of Christmas is stronger than
ever. Thanks to the careful fore
though of many thousands of our
people who have planned for the glad
est day of the year and have the fl
nancial means to salty their desire to
experience this real JOY of giving.
1t must be a source of extreme
qualification to members of Christ
mas clubs to go to their friendly bank,
who have not already received their
Christmas checks, and just before
Christmas draw out a sum of money
which they will know will more than
buy the longed-for remembrances of
Yule-tide. Many will make the new
discovery that steady accumulation of
small sums amounts to substantial
sums without the small sums ever be-
ing missed. Nor is the lesson confn-
ed to grown-ups The boys and girls
haxe smilingly been accommodating
their pennies, nickels and dimes with
which to buy dad" and mother the
cosey slippers and the pretty gloves
they know will be so much appreciat-
ed by fond and proud parents.
Through the cooperation of the
banks, the merchants and the individ-
ual saver there will be spent in Oak.
land this Christmas a large sum of
money accumulated by the regular
systematic weekly trip to the Christ
mas Club window by thrifty thousands
To those people who have had a
part in the accumulation of the vast
sum, merry Christmas" will have a
real meaning on this day-the glad
dest of the year.

HOW TO CURE UNEMPLOYMENT

Writing in the American Legion
Weekly on Seeking the Cure for
Unemployment" James j. Davis, sec
rotary of labor, sums up the cure in a
single paragraph, as follows:
Wage earners can help by giving
up unreasonable demands, so that
employers can afford to start their
mills again, or so that buildings can
be built-houses, schools, factories,
stores. Merchants can help by giving
up unreasonable profits, so that more
people can afford to buy clothing,
furniture, food and general supplies.
The landlord can help by lowering I'M
reasonable rents, so that workmen
can afford to accept wage that shall
become a living wage as rents are
lowered" .

opposition of the public to chemical
warfare on the score of humanity.
This is the disclosure that the chief
sufferers are not the soldiers on or
near the firing line, but the helpless
non-combatant population at some
distance away. Soldiers/can usually
protect themselves from. clouds of
poison gas by DOMINIC their masks in
a few seconds after the alarm of an
attack is given. But the same death
dealing clouds may be carried for
miles by the winds and fall with dew
astating effect on villages, hamlets,
and isolated individuals who are with
out means of protecting themselves.
Other American officers openly dis
agree with General Pershing. But it
is not too much to hope that civilized
nations will outlaw the deadly fumes,
the devastating effects of which are
to be noted in every community
among the returned soldiers who were
unfortunate enough to be gased. Such
an agreement may fall outside the
scope of the present Washington Con-
ference, but it deserves a foremost
place on the agenda of the future
conference which is now confidently
predicted.

MANY MARYLAND MINERS
ACCEPT CUT IN WAGES
Reduction from Union Scale Results
In Many Mines Resuming Operations

III -"ai! Hihes hesuhIhS operations
The decision of miners at many op-
erations to accept a wage lower than
the union scale of S1.31 per ton for
digging coal, has resulted il num-
Der of operations starting up in Gar
rett county and the adjoining coun-
ties in West Virginia. Many min
ers have long been out of work and
their families were in reduced cir
cumstances as result of this con-
dition. At the same time the opera
tors said they could not pay the union
scale and compete with other fields
which were paying a much lower rate
for digging.
The mines of the Gleason Coal and
Coke Company, at Gleason, w. Va.
in the Upper Potomac field, which is
part of District No. 16 of the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America, have
resumed with nearly 200 men after
long idleness. These mines are on
Grated by Philip Brown & Sons of
Frostburg, with James A. Brown as
superintendent. There are three op-
enings at Gleason with daily out
put of 600 tons.
The mines of the Blaine Mining
Company, also on the Western Mary
land Railroad, have resumed with
several hundred men. The men agreed
to a reduced scale. This company is
one of the largest operators in the
Upper Potomac field.
The Garrett County Coal Mining
Company at Dodson, this county. has
also started up after a long shut
down. This is also large operation
of the Upper Potomac territory. 1t
is understood that all the companies
have orders sufficient to run them for
some time.
The men by accepting rate lower
than the union are automatically sus-
pended and the mines are working

POSTAL IMPROVEMENTS SUS.
TAIN HAYS REPUTATION OF
LIVE WIRE"

The remarkable Improvement il
the postal service since Will H. Hays
has been Postmaster General can not
have failed to attract the attention
of all who use the mails. He has
proved to be what is termed in bus
mess circles a "live wire" and his
fertile brain is constantly devisine
new means of making the force un.
der his supervision more efficient.
Den of his latest orders is calcu-
lated to eliminate red tape, delay and
duplication in postal operations, by
establishing policy that will result
in details being taken from the de-
partment at Washington wherever
possible and placed out in the States
This will result in economy as well
as in less delay.
One of his latest orders is calcu-
discretion to postmasters in meeting
requirements of the public by placing
greater responsibility upon them and
holding them to it, and very seldom
hereafter will the public be aggra
waited by the stock phrase, 81 will
submit it to Washington" Central
accounting offices in each state will
be used as centers from which to
quickly disseminate information of
Importance, such as will prevent mon
ey orders stolen in different parts
of the country being passed on bust
ness men in another, and will dis
seminate exchange rates on a few
hours notice. Dead letters and pack
ages are to be disposed of in the
State, saving congestion and delay in
the disposition of this mail matter
which was inevitable when all of it
went to Washington. Money orders
will be cleared, listed and filed in a
large postoffice of each state, which
will be equipped with modern appli-
ances for the purpose. This will not
only give more efficient service, but
Postmaster General Hays says it will
EFFECT a net saving of scores of
clerks in one division of our depart
ment." Accounting systems will be
simplified by large part of the work
being absorbed in accounting divis-
ions of central accounting postoffices.
These are only few of the details
of the plan, which will be amplified
as fast as possible. After the abom-
Unable postal service the public had
to put up with during the Wilson ad-
nninistration, Postmaster General
Hays up-to-date methods and intia-
tive will be doubly appreciated.

BEN. FRANKLIN'S BIRTHDAY

Efforts are to be made to have Jan
uary II, the birthday of Benjamin
Franklin, set aside by national and
State Governments as holiday. 1t is
not likely these will succeed. We hav
too many holidays in our calendar
and additions should be made with Sc
verest discrimination.
However, there are other ways in
which many of our great men may be
honored and the influence of their
lives preserved to successive gener-
ations. Few Americans and few men
of any country or any age have great
er claims on the regard of posterity
that Benjamin Franklin. Next month
will be celebrated in some notable way
the 2O0th anniversary of the begin
ming of Franklin's career as a writer
and editor. In 1720-21 his brother,
James Franklin, started the "New
England Courant," the second news
paper published in America.
Benjamin, then only fifteen years
old, was apprenticed to his brother(to
learn the printing trade and began
writing anonymously for the paper
two years later, his relations with
his brother having strained, he sold
his books and with the scanty pro-
ceeds made his way to Philadelphia
where he entered upon that long and
astonishing fruitful career of achieve
ment that put him in the front rank
Of the worlds most remarkable men.
AS time passes appreciation of
Franklin's genius becomes more gen.
eral. The wide range of his services
to his country and to humanity is ev-
er a subject of greater marvel and
admiration as it is better understood
and assessed in the light of develop
ments.
Though his birthday does not be-
come one of our national holidays, it
will be remembered and observed as
an event of the highest importance
not only to America but to all nations.

when his sister came to Oakland from
Woodstock, Va, and placed a cash
bond of $4,000 in the hands of court
official for his appearance at this
term and he was released, going from
Oakland to his home about ten days
ago and returning here on last Sat-
urday night to await his trial.
The bond of Sherman Friend, who
had been indicted for larceny and re-
ceiving stolen goods, was forfeited
to the State when his case was called
for trial yesterday afternoon and the
traverser failed to answer.
Cecil Friend, Joseph Miller and
George Householder, of Friendsville,
all entered pleas of guilty when their
cases were called, the charge against
them being burglary. The youths
were caught in the act of robbing the
store of Merchant Wolfe at Friends
vile during the past summer.
Charles Wrightsman, of Mountain
Lake Park, was fined 500 and costs
when he entered plea of guilty to
the charge of selling liquor illegally.
Herbert and Levitt Coddington, two
young men of Friendsville, entered
pleas of guilty to the charge of burg
larry this morning when they were ar
raigned for trial

GENERAL PERSHING WOULD
BAN POISON GAS.

Greater weight will necessarily at
tach to General Pershing's recommen.
dation that poison gas be abandoned
in warfare, than to the resolution of
the American Institute of Chemical
Engineers, now meeting in Baltimore,
that the United States should promote
such preparation as will enable the
country to manufacture poison gas in
large quantities. The soldier calls
upon his experience at the battle
fronts, and sets practical military
knowledge against civilian chemical
theory. t
Much has been heard about the in
terdependent relation of the dye in
dustry with the production of chem
icai appliances in wartime The pub
lie might conclude that future warfare
would be inconceivable without vast
quantities of poison gas and that the
United States must keep ahead of
all competitors in manufacturing the
deadly compounds. But here is the
ranking officer of the United States
Army, the Chief Commander of the
American Expeditionary Force, who
studied poison gas in action and wit
messed its ravages, now condemning
its use in future wars.
One feature of his report, SO fas as
its contents are ascertainable, will

Oakland Tuesday evening with rec

this year. Interest was intense from
the start, so close was the score at
all periods, and the first half ended
with the visitors ahead two points.
The locals took a squirt in the second
half, however, and managed to pull
ahead and win out by the score of
20-16, thus keeping their winning rec
