Distributing
the Gifts

N DING to the post-office is jolly
w method Of distribution. Paste
board and brown paper, aided
by judiclous grouping of chairs and
tables, easily transform a room into
post-office, and wisely selected
postmaster may make the collection
of mail an occasion of much merri-
ment. Have general delivery and lock
boxes, and at the general delivery
window see that each person Is
properly identified.
A Christmas hunt is always excit-
ing The clue, given at the breakfast
table, is written on a slip of paper
In some such words as these: pass
the parlor, shun the hall, seek the
summer kitchen wall" In that
vicinity the gift will be found, wrapped
and addressed. It adds to the fun IL
the directions lead first to other
rhymes, three or four being followed
up before the hidden treasure is found.
The cobweb party is not new, but
is always good sport and is especially
adapted to Christmas festivities. The
tangled threads may lead to the laden
tree or to the bullying stocking hang
ing from the mantel-shelf
Still another hunt takes the form of
polar expedition and Is great sport
In the country when there Is snow
enough for II. Immediately after
breakfast the entire party sets out for
walk. When they turn toward home,
the host or someone selected as guide
informs them that supplies are hidden
along the way in various caches and
they will do well to look out for them.
Each cache is merely mound Of snow
covering lightly a quantity of gift
packages, securely wrapped. There
need be only three or four mounds
and the gifts should be divided
promiscuously among them If the
walk has been long, the first cache to
be found-that is, the one farthest
from home-may hide box OF cook
les. which will be hailed joyfully and
will make the gifts in the next cache
an even greater surprise.
The last cache to be reached may be
the centerpiece on the dining table.
Here It should be of cotton glittering
with diamond dust, with the pole ris-
ing from the middle Of 1t, a fat, squatty
pole with jolly Santa Claus atop.
Small gifts may be concealed In a
Jack Horner pie, brought to the table
when dinner Is finished, Choose
deep. round pan Of size to fit the
number Of the party and put into 1t
the presents, each daintily wrapped
and marked with the name of the one
to receive 1t.
To far-away relative may be sent
the kiddies' latest photo Ut may be
only snapshot II 1t be well taken)
accompanied by a little verse after
this sort:
We're very small. but we want to send
To our Auntie far away.

CHRIsTMAs TREE Ar GRAY

The people of Gray are arranging
to have a Christmas tree at the hall
on Christmas eve The Sunday
school has also planned to have a
Christmas service on Christmas
morning, in the church, for every
body to become interested in the
Sunday school. The interest and
attendance has so increased we have
to nearly double our supplies for
the additional number of classes and
teachers.
There is quite an interest in the
church work. also. Another soul
was converted and came into the
church last Sunday morning. The
Sunday evening service was "Wor-
ship Of God Through Song" A choir
and the congregation sang all old
songs. Short talks were given be-
tween songs by the pastor and 9TH
ers. 1t proved to be service quite
and profitable.

FORSAKE TEACHING
FOR MANY REASONS

More than half OF the teachers of
public schools throughout the coun-
try. who have left their places for
other employment. are forever done
with pedagogy.
The Bureau of Education of the
Interior Department has made this
discovery by taking the War Risk
Insurance Bureau as a barometer.
OF the 272 former teachers employed
there only twenty-five have any in
tentions OF going back to teaching.
SiNty-eiEht of the number say their
decision will depend upon condi-
tions. IL the school salaries are
more seductive when the new season
starts this year. and everything else
is equal. they will go back. but IL
the work in the government service
is more satisfactory they will stay
here. Just 13s OF the 272 said posi-
lively they woeld not resume their
profession of teaching. and gave the
following reasons: Insufficient SAL
ary: detriment to health: admins
tration of schools objectiona BILE T:
other work preferred: lack Of public
appreciation: domestic reasons: no
social life; no sick leave.
Edith A. Lathrop. specialist ia
rural education of the Bureau of
Education, made the investigation
and has written an extensive article
on the changed phases OF the teach

The Mantle Of the G. A. R.

I The American Legion is finding its place and It's
purpose in this countrys national life 1t is taking
the place of the Grand Army of the Republic, but
in broader field. Loyalty to this government,
love OF the ag the real meaning of institutions
and their preservation, respect for law and good
government, have for fifty years been the high
purpose of the G. A. R.
. In this they have been most effective. Their
mantle has dropped upon the shoulders of the stall
wart young men of the American Legion. 1t is a
proud inheritance and is in safe keeping. But
while the labors of the older organizations
almost wholly confined within country,
that of the legion broadens to the international field
1t concerns not alone relations to this gov
ernment in isolation, but to this government sud-
denly thrust into world affairs 1t concerns not
alone an Americans relation to this government,
but that of his relation, American, to the
government and people of his blood origin.
A mans individual right to do as he pleases.
his individual sympathies, his love of former home
land may be his affair. His actions as ct-
zen are the common concern of all and must con-
form to not merely verbal, but heart loyalty. Ct-
zensbip is not jug handle, is it instrument
to be used merely as cloak to hide another 10y
! atty.
The American Legion finds its work marked
out for it as an aftermath of the war. 1t is big
enough job. 1t is fighting job worthy of its
fighting spirit 1t is one which needs organized
unity and the legion rs the body ready fit and
competent to undertake and do it

The Right Man.

There will be more than satisfaction among
the many who make up the folks who live in WASH
ington, that Col. Charles W. Kutz is not to be re-
lieved of service as District Commissioner and
transferred to active service Indeed, other serv
ice could well be "active" than has been his
head of the Public Utilities Commission.
Col. Kutz has shown himself to be fair, but not
disposed to take anything for granted. He has the
distinctly Missouri attitude, and it is difficult to
show him that something is so, when it isn't He
represents the people of the District and not the
utilities further than see that they get square
deal
AS an engineer, the problems he has had to
solve have not been unfamiliar and he has made
personal study of them that the experts of the
companies have often found that he knows their
subject as well better, at least more mpartially
than they do.
The people of the District need him just where
he is until the situation is solved and indeed
until the two street railway systems are consoli-
dated. In this the companies both show reIuc-
tance to change things as they, arc. One is
getting fat to obesity The other is trying to fatten
its too much
The people are getting weary of situation
where they have the role of goat in this three
part drama. Many family has to pay as much for
street earfare for groceries. which is manfesty
"a sadly out of balance budget They want man
to represent them who will appreciate this sit,,a-
ton, well as the desires Of the companies They
have confidence that Col. Kutz is that man and
want him kept where he is

Rail Earnings Fell
HeauiIy in January

January, the fifth month the ad-
'vanced freight rates and passenger
fares ordered by the Interstate Com
merce Commission have been in ef-
feet. proved to be the poorest month
of the five from the standpoint of
net earnings.
Complete reports have not yet
been filed by all the railroads but
those that have reached the COM
mission indicate that not more than
half Of the principal railroads in the
United States earned a net railway
operating income in that month and
that the other half will show deficits.
The final figures will show a deficit
In net railway operating income for
the large railroads as a whole. 1t
Is estimated that this deficit will
exceed $1,000 900, whereas the same
roads IN 1920, had a net operating
income in excess Of s5o,ooo,ooo in
January.

The Metric System.

Now that good friends on both sides have
had their innings, The Herald wishes to make its
position as to the metric system entirely clear The
Herald has enmity to that system of weights
and measurements. We do not believe It is neces-
sary to argue its comparative merits or dement's.
But we are fatty opposed to its substitution. for
the present system in this country by law. it is
so much better, its proponents insist, II it would
be so much Of an economic benefit, it will find its
own way into and general adoption by a/grad-
ual process.
In fact it is now being used generally by
chemists scientists and others where found more
Neonvenient This lis like the of thetsFrench
language in diplomacy. Where needed in interna-
tiona trade to facilitate contracts or sales It will
be used.
There is no law against its use There should
be no law to compel its use. This is but one Of
those nhmberless instances where the attempt is
made through legislation to go from the evils we
know, to- the evils we know not of, refuse to
see. 1t is an attempt to further the convenience,
or even good, of the lesser number, by imposing
loss and hardship the far greater number.
One concern has estimated the effect in cost to
it OF having to change to the metric system, at
$4,000. This includes such items as remaking
drawings and patterns small TOOLS jigs and figures,
changing production and stock room records, ETC.,
as well the process of training employees to use
the system. This the concern says, would
equal conhscation of all profits for term of years.
= Imagine all the factories of this country, all the
contractors and skilled mechanics, the carpenters and
house builders. the producers and traders COM
peled to change their accustomed tools and methods
in measuring and weighing. 1t would mean indus
thial chaos and industrial bankruptcy,
No matter how valuable the ultimate result, it
would not be worth the cost any more than is war,
and it is wholly unnecessary. If, and as. its use is
desirable and economical, it will be increasingly
! used. The Herald would therefore suggest that
the proponents of its compulsory by law should
turn their splendid enthusiasm and sincere convic-
ton to the field of advocacy Of its voluntary use
| 1t will not be forced on this country by law.
