spiritual world.
Christmas is the time when we are
conscious OF an unusual desire to be
kind. One day every year the world
suddenly becomes different. Physical
ly speaking, 1t is the same world. The
sky Is the same The streets are the
same. The DEMONSTRATING touch
of holly here and there-are the same.
But you and / and our neighbors are
different. We are more just in our
Judgments, more thoughtful in our at
tention, more unselfish, more kind.
1t is probably true that these sea-
sons of the soul, however fleeing,
leave their mark. We are, perhaps, a
bit more patriotic than we would be
were it not for the annual observance
of Memorial day; bit more con-
sciously grateful than we would be
were it not for the annual observance
Of q Thanksgiving day; bit more re-
ligious than we would be were it not
for the recognition of Lent and the
observance Of Easter day. And one
would like to believe that we are
bit more kind than we would be were
Il not for the observance of Christ
mas.
The very approach of Christmas has
certain noticeable psychological eff
fects. In 1914 it resulted in tenn
porary cessation of hostilities. On that
first war Christmas the booming guns
gave way to Christmas carols, sung In
three languages, as British and French
and German soldiers fraterniZed be-
tween the lines. In 1918, as the day
drew near which would commemorate
the birth of the Prince of Peace, a
war-weary world dared to hope that
foundations would be laid for endur-
ing peace. The heart of the world is
wrung by the suffering of China, the
tragedy of Armenia, and the pitiful
pleas of the starving children of cen
trail Europe. Is there any man any
where, not degenerate, who is not
conscious of q desire to diminish by
ever so little the worlds distress?

In connection with the cry for
more revenue. being heard nov
from the city it might well be SUE
@ested that the Council apply more
carefully and consistently the ex-
Lifting means of securing revenue,
aud particularly the delinquent wa
ter rents and the traffic ordinances.
There has long been a big fund tied
up on the water books with water
users who have not paid their rents.
An effort WAS made some months
ago to collect on some of these az
counts. by shutting off the water
until the rent was paid, and while
il lasted the move was pronounced
successful 1t would seem wise TO
apply this procedure vigorously
throughout the city. and not to let
lip on it. The money involved in
water usage IS not only consider
able but Martinsburg should watch
against Wasteful use Of water; and
one way to watch the use of water
Is to compel payment for all used.
The traffic laws are not enfeer-
ed i'll the city consistently. OFTEN

aware that the traffic officer is
frequently called out to make ar
rests for violations other than the
traffic rules, and he supposes this
might be given as an excuse. But
there is source of money for the
city-a source from which the city
has a right to collect both because
penalties are prescribed by law for
violations Of the law and because
the rights of the public must be
protected by the enforcement Of the
law
We suspect that If the city will
scrupulously enforce all these en-
actments it viii find its Golfer in

Dear Mr.. Editor
That Patrons of the Theatre" are
loath to miss the super farce-comedy
La La Lucille" is no wonder to me.
From reports OF this film, shown in St.
Thomas and Frederiksted, il is certainly
worth seeing. Personally | don't believe
that any one would voluntarily miss see
ing it. When it is stated that this Uni
versai Five Part features our old friends
Eddy Lyons and Lee Moran, besides
other famous actors, that it is directed
by the aforesaid Lyons and Moran and
that the story is written by Fred Jack
son, the noted scenario writer, | am
sure that enough will have been said to
convince the most sceptical thai here at
last IS something above the ordinary.
| now take pleasure in informing all
patrons of the theatre, that this great
film will be shown on Thursday night
and beg 10 suggest that they secure seats
in due time so as to avoid missing a
great treat,
AS regards changing the time of start
ing | beg to state that this matter is
entirely left to the decision of the audience.
The management is always willing to do
anything in its power to accommodate its
patrons and if it is the desire Of the
majority that the hour for commencing
be changed from 8 to 8.15 or $50 as
was formerly the case. their wishes will
be complied with With pleasure.
Thanking you for space, Mr.. Editor,
