THE COSTLY CRIME WAVE

n the midst OF the general depression there is one
industry which is hourishing. The concerns which
manufacture locks, safe doors and burglar proof de
vices are buster than they ever were before, One
firm, which right now is dating its earliest deliveries
Tor next May, has among its commissions an order
Tor 4 single steel vault door costing $4,000. 1t is
to be delivered TO ;he bank in ! town of 800 people,
1t is an interesting ,idelight on the extent to
which the crime wave has affected even remote parts
OF the country. and what it is costing the nation
day after day Tor protection.
As things stand, the burglar-prooi devices are 4
necessity, but it would be cheaper all around Tor
society to restrain criminal activity through educa-
ton and prompt punishment. Installing the thief
proof lock is building against waste while waste
goes on. Restraining the hand which picks the lock
prevents waste al the source and makes protection
unnecessary.

BlKANER, India, Dec. Ga relig-

Bare legged natives danced through
the embers OF n great bonfire built in
the quadrangle OF the fort. As they
danced they sang wildly and snatched
up portions OF the fiery mass which
they placed in their mouths. A
,hower OF sparks followed their foot.
steps and the heat OF the fire could
be felt ten yards away. Subsequently

SOUTH FAVORS SHIP CANAL

THE Great Iakes-St. Lawrence ship canal project
has adherents in all parts OF the country in spite
OF the fierce propaganda which New York is con
Quoting TO kill it.
At the meeting OF the Atlantic Deep Waterways
Association in Savannah, Ga, Governor Miller OF
New York denounced the project in forceful terms
It happened that the South Atlantic Ports Associa-
ton was in session at the same time in the same
city. This body in its turn asked the deeper water
ways group TO take no part in any criticism or con-
domination OF the St. Lawrence project"
The situation is the more interesting because the
southern ports, apparently, stand to fare no better
by the St. Lawrence plan than they do with New
York handling the bulk OF Atlantic traffic.
1t is not surprising that New York should object
to any scheme which will defect commerce from
her boundaries, but her fight will be made all the
more difficult by the fact that disinterested sections
OF the country seem to view the project as Tor the
good OF the country as a whole. and are in favor
of any extension OF waterways transportation on
general principles.

4 LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By 5. W. STRAuS, President Ameri-
can Society for Thrift

At the present time 1t is particularly
vital that careful thought be given
to the problem OF correct spending as
well as correct saving.
The statement recently was made
by a government official that 81, 600,
OO0, 900 Of the country's cash is being
hidden away in various places or is
being carried around in pockets. While
It is necessary in u nation Of 100 900
600 people to ne 4 great amount of
loose cash and currency, it is likely
that a considerable portion of the
81, 200, 900 900 referred TO is concealed
in obscure hooks and corners. and
thus kept out OF circulation.
The %hidingsof money Vnder carpets
and mattresses and in bother places
where it is supposed &c b. safe from
burglars and thieves, do4 not consti-
tute constructive thrift, which means
not only saving money AT putting it
10 some good use. /,
When funds are saved and deposit
ed with a bank or are invested pru.
IDENTIFY we are practicing. constructive
thrift, and our savings are helping
keep the general business of the coun.
try going, but when our savings are
hidden away they represent just so
much idle capital.
In studying thrift We should con
slider, therefore, not only the function
Of saving money but the equally i'm.
nOpfnnf mo nf GnoDliuO II
IL all the money that the people Of
this country earned from day TO day
were kept out Of circulation, the
wheels of industry would stop immedi.
ately and business would 20 to smash.
All progress would cease and we would
find ourselves in the midst of economi-
cal chaos.
Money must. be kept in circulation
and the thrifty mans expenditures OF
savings go through channels that are
Of constructive value both TO himself
and to society.
II Is for three reasons that thrift
should he given carefulstudy, for it
can be abused as well as used.
TO be truly thrifty means to be
progressive. Neither miserliness nor
improvidencc have a place in the
practices OF the truly thrifty man.

The history ~ Christmas tree usage
c.lcudS far into the mists OF antiquity
and It's origin Is difficult TO trace.
some say it S. connected with the
legendary Tree Of Time. Ygdrasil the
great tree ~ Morse mythology. within
whose roots and branches heaven and
earth arc bound. Some say the Gus
rom may he traced TO the Egyptians
Who ot the time ~ Winter s~olsticc.

of the date palm-thc symbol OF lie
triumphant over death.
An ancient legend NJ Tho Scandi.
unviaus relates how he Christmas
tree owes It's origin to the service
,rcc' which sprang from soil once
drenohed with the blood Of two slain
lovers. and how each night during
Christmas season mysterious lights
played among its branches. 10 this
legend may perhaps be traced our
custom Of Illuminating the tree when
darkness comes. Among the Creeks.
Christmas is known as the feast OF
lights.
Variety Of Trees j>ed
To people Of different localities the
term Christmas tree may mean fir.
spruce. pine. cedar. cor even magnolia.
FOR each region makes use of the most
suitable species found near It's markets.
In the vicinity NJ Chicago a short.
needle pine found m Michigan and
Wisconsin may bee used. on the Paci.
NJ coast the white fir finds favor.
while throughout Ohio Norway spruce

Virginia the scrub Pine finds It's way
into many homes. and farther south

for holiday purposes-beautiful and
symmetrical. with long horizontal
branches and deep green foliage. each

Crusades Against Trees

destruction caused tn our young
