CHRISTMAS FOR THE NEEDY

The Christmas season, normally and properly
one OF JOY and gladness, derives much of it's charac-
ter from the practice associated with it Of giving
pleasure to others. The children of ones house
hold, the members of the family and the intimate
friends are given gifts and words of cheer which
brighten their lives, and in these outpourings Of
goodwill, the individual himself is blessed.
The circle which one can cover is but a small
one, but the fact that there are millions of such
little circles makes the day one of all but universal
Joy. Blessed are they who have friends to remen1-
Der them. and whom they may remember, and the
means wherewlth to provide the gifts which are
prompted by a loving spirit. There are those who
are not thus fortunate, and it is for the purpose Of
lnsuring that on one. day i'll the year at least as
nearly as possible everyone may have cause for
happiness that there is undertaken each wear in
many communities such work as that which is being
done in Grand Forks to fin the Christmas stockings
of those which would otherwise be empty. &
Through the agency of the Santa Claus Girls.
in cooperation with various agencies for public
welfare, Christmas toys and Christmas dinners have
for several years been sent to those in straitened
circumstances, and this custom is to be followed
this year. Donations Of clothing are being made.
Toys arc being made by local men under the direc-
ton of Messrs Pittman and Howell, Of the manual
training department Of the public schools, who. il
may be said in passing, are giving three nights iii
each week and practically all the. rest of their spare
time, without, compensation. Money is needed for
the purchase Of the material Of which these TOYS are
made, and for the purchase OF food for dinners and
contributions for that purpose will be welcomed.
Contribution addressed to the Santa Claus
Girls, Care The Herald, will be used for this most
worthy purpose. The response in the past has been
generous, and it is confidently expected that it will
be generous now.

No Force

There is no possibility Of the use
of military force under the new
Four-pOwer treaty. at least for the
ten years during which it is to run:
At the end of that period the parties
to the agreement car again take
stock Of the worlds military situa-
ton. and any further understanding
that may be entered into can be gov
erned accordingly. Any. military
operations that could take place in
the Pacific would have to depend for
success on the fleets of the partici-
pants. 1nasmuch as the parties to
the Four-power Treaty are the four
leading naval powers and their re
spective fleets will be strictly limited
for the full period of the treaty.
there is no chance Of a naval war
among themselves or with other ma
tions during that time.

Ships A Necessity.

Chairman Lasker of the Shipping
Board is performing Il national serv-
ice in impressing upon the people
of the Middle West the necessity for
maintaining a strong merchant mar
inc. The need for a merchant. fleet
will become the more imperative If
the naval cuts proposed by the. arm
aments conference n adopted, de-
Clares Mr.. Lasker. In case of war.
the country that has the biggest
fleet of convertible ships will. have a
tremendous advantage owe others.
not only in the vessels themselves
but in yards and trained men for the
construction of more. The econom-
ic necessity for an adequate fleet OF
merchapt ships is even greater than
the military requirements. Mr..
Lasker stresses the fact that the i'm
mense debts owed the United States
by foreign governments must be met
through an exchange of goods. and
that if big imports are received from
debtor nations we must find other
markets for our surplus products. In
carrying that cea commerce, ships
are as essential as railroads are in
our inland transportation.

Shoots Scissors.

Under the aggressive leadership of
Senator Smoot, the Republicans have
made an enormou reduction in the
number of magazines published by
the government. This will mean not
only a saving in printing bills, but
a saving in salaries Of persons who
prepared the articles and edited the
magazines, stenographers who did
the clerical work. clerks who kept
up the mailing lists and addressed
the magazines. and supervisors who
employed ali these people, kept their
time and paid their salaries. For
every magazine discontinued there
can probably be an ultimate reduc-
tion of fifteen to twenty In the Gov
ernmert payroll-perhaps more.

WORD FROM
WASHINGTON
\ Hard Task

A bill was recently introduced in
the Italian Chamber of Deputies
which reads in part as follows:
considering that the prestige Of the
league of nations depends Oh the
confidence Of the peoples in it. it is
urged that the Government seek ap-
propriate changes in the statutes of
the league 80 as to render its consti-
tuition and its functioning harmoni-
Gus with the aims Of democracy"
The chief sponsor Of the league was
forever ranting about democracy and
new practicing it. Just now that
which was intended as a superstate
can be rendered harmonious with
the aims of democracy" it is difficult
to say, but considering the pitiable
state of the league today a discussion
of the subject would be purely
academic.

Cancellation CnthOuuht of.

A sample of the propaganda cal
culated to commit the American
people to the policy of cancellation
of foreign debts due this country is
seen. in a recent article in the Wash
ington STAR in which the assertion
Is made that this country has begun
a f~ar-reaching process of retiring
Americas war debts without depend
ing upon repayment from the Allies.
This would leave the ordinary reader
to assume that the Harding admin
istration had abandoned the plan of
securing repayment and had no hope
Of using foreign repayments to help
retire the Liberty Bonds. Such an
impression would be utterly unfound-
ed.
The Star" makes the above-mGn-
toned assertion in giving an account
Of the issuance of some treasury
certificates which are to take the
place of present obligations of the
government. That is not payment of
the debt: it is merely changing it to
a new form, and the debt still re-
mains to be paid either by the Amer
lean people out of their own pock-
cts or with funds repaid to the Amer
lean treasury by the Allies who Dor
rowed it. There has been no change
in our national policy. Our war
debts will be paid. and in the pro-
cess of paying the government will
depend upon money from the Allies
to assist in lifting the load. The
United States borrowed the money
from it's W people to loan to the
allies. To cancel the debt would
mean that the entire bonded debt Of
over $40. 900 900 900 must be paid
by the American people alone. and
that would mea donating more than
half that sun to European nations.
There is no such intention and the
Harding Administration has so in
Dictated many times. The allies will
be expected to repay the money they
borrowed. and it will be used to re-

Of inestimable benefit both to the

problems which continually arise

In the making of an income tax
return for the year 1921. every tax
payer should present to himself the
following questions:
e.. What were our profits from

vocation?
Did you receive any interest on

Public Opinion COurtcd,

President Harding has announced
that he does not intend to rush the
new Four-power Treaty to the Senate
for ratification. Statesmen applaud
That course, saying it Is a momentOus
document, and there is every reason
why the people of the country should
be made thoroughly acquainted with
its principles and be given oppor-
to communicate their views
to their Senator's before the vote is
taken. Mr.. Harding's methods, it is
pointed out. are at wide variance
with those of his predecessor in Of
flee. Mr.. Wilson arrived in the
United States with the treaty on July
S, 1919. Two days later he hurried
to the Senate. laid the document be-
fore that body. and urged speedy
ratification. Fortunately the debate
that ensued caused a delay that gave
ample time to the people to make
up their minds ION, the subject, and
the final vote OF rejection expressed
the conviction of an overwhelming
majority of IL citizens. Mr.. Wilson
sought to get his treaty ratified with
out giving the people any chance
whatever to express Interviews. Mr..
Harding takes the opposite course.
and intends to get the expression of
public opinion on the Four-power
Treaty before ratification is asked
of the Senate.

But the two boys were already
at the door.

ment.

father mimicked her angrily. "Do

where are you going?' as Rose
left the table, unbuttoning her
lingerie waist with one hand,
fumbling at loose locks with the
other. -
"Coney. Got to- hurry and
dress"
"Dress and her Coney Island!
That's all she thinks of. 1t would
hurt her once if she washed the
dishes when I'm standing on my
feet all day." grumbled her
mother, as she fed bit of gravy
soaked bread to the whining
baby. "Rose, Mary, you got to
help me once," but Mary had al
ready followed her sister into the
stuffy bedroom the two girls oc-
cupied with five year old Sadie.
The little girl stood in the door
way regarding her young lady
sister with sullen eyes.
Going to Coney?' she asked
at last, wishing that she was
grown up enough to work and
buy pink silk camiso1es for her
self.

seemly that Jewish boy should
find any pleasure in the sports OF
the heather. Perhaps he had for
gotten those long-ago days and
did not see the pity of it that his
two active youngsters were
forced to take their swim be-
tween the rounds Of stern po-
liceman. But as usual he said
nothing.
Fourteen year old Mary, a girl
of gypsy-like coloring and

camp last summer and I'm just
roasted to death. Make 'em take
me, ma," she pleaded, turning to
her mother, who had 'slumped
wearily into the empty chair be-
side Rose.
"I care lots where you CO." an
swered her mother. She raised
bit of bread to her mouth, then
put it down untasted. She had
done the family washing that>day,
mopped the kitchen and tried to-
comfort the teething baby. Too
exhausted to eat, she was hardly
in mood to concern herself over
Mary's pleasures for the evening.
"You'd oser take care of the baby
for me if you did stay home!"
"Pa, tell 'em to take me swim
ming, too," ignoring the rebuke.
"I amt been swimming all sum-
mer cause they didn't have no
room for me at the free camp
again and you won't give me four
dollars to 60 to the pay one with

cusingly.

usual apathy, 81 can't buy you

almost two weeks salary. Lord,

till I get my clothes off out there
and put on bathing suit" She
rose, kicking sleazy silk petit
coat into the corner and took
down satin sport skirt which
Mary knew was her best.
you're going with a feller,"
surmised Mary, noting the splen-
dor of the newest item Of Roses
wardrobe.
"Sure. What of it,"
Hell pay your way, won't
he?"
"Sure. What're you trying to
get at, kid?"
Mary, wise in the precocious
wisdom of the East Side, knew
better than to plead to be taken
along if Roses plans included a
male escort. Once, on never-to-
be-forgotten Sunday, Rose had
taken her to that magic land of
lights and swings and a beach
filled with bathers, and from that
day her mouth had fairly watered
at the mere sound of that fairy
playground.
"Then you won't take me-" de-
cided Mary hopelessly.
Rose, picking up her entirely
unnecessary lip-stick, gave a
short laugh. "Guess I won't have
a kid trotting along after me.
Aw, for Gods sake, stop that
bawling," as, Mary's lips began
to culver, her eyes to fill, "or TIL
tell pa to give you a good licking.

her adolescent hysteria as a case

quarters, too much excitement
and too little exercise. IT want

"Wait till you get feller," ad
vised Rose carelessly. She stop

approving glance at her little sis
ter's 1.-the figure, just rounding
into womanhood, the tangled
hair with glints of gold in its
brown tendrils, the flushed
cheeks and warmly curved lips.

When we were nice little girls
in clean white aprons and long
smooth braids, our inky fingers
often copied with painful exact
ness certain truism at the top
of the third page of our copy
books: "A stitch in time saves
ni,le." We believed it then as
nice little girls always believe
everything they read in their copy
books; now we believe it more
tran ever after seeing that stupid
Seamstress called Society en-
deavoring to patch hopelessly
worn-out material.
The kitchen which also served
as the dining room, parlor and
laundry of the Kuppenstein
household, as we'll as bedroom
fof Moritz and Dan who slept on
a cot in the corner, was crowded
almost to suffocation. For the
whole family had gathered about
the supper table and on certain
July evening presented an ami
mated if not an inspiring picture
of Jewish home life as it is
sometimes lived stones throw
from Delaney street. All of the
children were there, from eigh-
teen year old Rose, who worked
by a milliner," down to Baby Max
fretting in his secondhand high
chair; at the head of the oil
cloth covered table sat Ike Kup-
penstein, a slumped, perspiring
specimen of a pants-maker after
a hot days work, while Mamma
Kuppenstein stood at the sink
savagely saving at the bread she
had forgotten to put on the ta-
bic. None of the six children had
offered to get up for her; she had
been too busy raising her brood
in her own unsystematic way to
teach even the girls to do their
share in the untidy, overcrowded
household.
Suddenly Dan pushed back his
plate. "Me, and Moritz is going
down swimming by the wharves
tonight, pa" he told his father.
"The con don't oct bv till nine
o'clock and if he comes we can
sneak behind the lumber"
The father nodded Indifferent
ly. Seeing the man slouching in
his chair, no one would have ever
suspected that as boy his Prov
ess as swimmer in his far-away
home across the sea had earned
for him the epithet, "gey," from
certain elders who deemed it un-
