New Years.

Hope is, fortunately. one of the
strongest characteristics of the hui
man mind. No matter how troubled
the sea may be, there is always hope
that the morrow will dawn bright and
cloudless. No matter how many SET
backs hope may have. IL springs eter-
nal in the human breast. This tend
ency to look for better things in the
future is always more noticeable on
the New Year than at any other time.
We may sigh over the past year and
regret many o. our words and actions
but we always hope that the new year
will bring MS prosperity and happi-
ness. We may have failed many times
before but the new years always seems
to inspire us with fresh courage.
II is well to hope, but we must not
forget that effort on our part is neces-
sary to bring our hopes to fruitiOn. If
we want the new year TO be full of
blessings we must strive TO make our
selves receptive. If we expect to live
better lives we must exert every effort
to overcome our faults. Rare indeed
is the man who does not know wha:
those faults are, He may strive to
ignore them-but deep in his heart he
always knows just where his weak
nesses lie, he always knows the point
where he Begins to give way to them
though he may strive to convince him.
self that wrong doing steals upon him
when he is not aware.
The new year is pregnant with pos
sibilities and 1t is our duty to make
them realistic Whether or not the
future is an advance over the past win
depend on our efforts. We can get out
of life only what we put into 1t; only
by giving our own best can we hope
to receive the highest good. He who
is niggardly in his giving can expect
nothing but niggardly returns.

~ George Washington's Christ
masses But from the record
of his life we learn how he spent some
of his Christmas days.
1t was a very cold Christmastide in
1777 at Valley Forge. Snow was on
the hills. Everything was frozen. And
Waahington's army was in great need
of food, clothing and shelter
InstI ucti0ns of parties of men to go
foraging for food are entered in the
orderly book for that Christmas day
at Valley Forge, which was anything
but merry for Washington.
Still more desperate were the food
conditions at Morristown, In 1879,
when Washington reported that his
army was on half allowance and near
starvation, I'VE have never expe-
rienced like extremity at any period
of the war" declared Washingtons
pleading that food be sent
There was welcome Christmas
present for Washington and his men

shirts and other comforts made by

needed by the men under Washington.

The fine old Colonial mansion Che

(now widely known as the home of
Henry w. Longfellow). was the place
where Washington spent his first
Christmas as commander of the Rev
olutionary army in 1873 Mrs Wash

later at Valley Forge). and there was
some pleasure In the midst OF the
heavy cares and responsibilities car
ried by the great Washington.
A year later Christmas day found
Washington at the head OF his = 400
brave men making his celebrated
crossing Of the Delaware river. nine
miles above Trenton. The snow ana

the cold WIS intense. But hearts
were brave.

Reason is supposed to be the most
distinguishing mark between man
and animals. Yet do we use CDR rea-
son so much. The reason for most of
our actions is arrived at through habit
and not through reason. For example,
a man who cannot swim falls into deep
water. He has always been told that
few motions with his hands under
the water will keep him up. Instead
of using his reason he throws his
hands above his head and sinks.
Our daily lives as well as our minds
run in nets which deeper as we grow
older. 1t is so much easier for MS 10
think in Tut that very few of MS,
even the brightest. use our brains
efficiently. Unless we have some in
ceutiye for thinking out a problem ii
slides by. Most of us are too content
with our situation. Sometimes we
realize that we have unused possibil-
ties, bnt we measure ourselves by
those about us, satisfy ourselves that
we are doing as well as the next one.
and allow our unused powers TO lie
dormant until they finally rust FROM

No doubt the disarmament confer
ence was the source of many fine
ideas; no doubt many hard problems
were settled, as the conferees thought,
for good and all. That fact remains
TO be proved. Only time can tell.
To our minds disarmament means
something more than formal meet
ing when very wise lawyers expOund
ideas, to them perhaps, but to the
layman they are Greek. And dsar-
mament means something more than
the iunking of few battleships. Be
fore we believe too strongly that the
junking of battleships is straw
showing which way the wind blows
we should realize that in all prob
ability future war would not be
fought with battle ships. If it is
fought IL will be with poison gasses
aud aeroplanes. 1t will be a chemical
war. Consequently WE were not throw
ing away any very real implements of
warfare when we junked sixty some
battle ships.
While not wishing to minimize in
the slightest degree the responsibility
of the German War lords in precipi-
tating the recent war, anyone who
has studied the causes leading up to
It, who has read the history that pre-
ceeded it. cannot but know that every
nation bore its share of responsibility
for the World War. The war was in
the minds and attitudes of men before
1t became in reality in flesh and blood
Disarmament means the junking of
hatreds and jealousies and until that
IL accomplished we cannot hope for
peace,
