Easily Managed

vTOU must believe in Santa Claus
If in neglect you would not pause
And see the holidays drift by
And bring you nothing but a sigh.
He may not greet you if you wait
In idleness and selfish state
For him upon his way to start
To grant the wishes of your heart.
For he his ways makes known to men
BY means that are beyond our ken,
And as his journeying vast is made
He uses many a masquerade.
So if a scarcity you fear
In the supply Of Christmas cheer,
Just hustle like a willing elf,
And be old Santa Claus yourself.

Greater Representation Is Believed to Be Necessary
 for Maximum Work

The weekly meeting of the directors of the New Britain Chamber of Com merce, held at the New Britain club this noon, was largely taken up with a discussion of a proposed amendment to the bylaws of the Chamber which would increase the directorate from the 15 members it now has to 21.

 A committee consisting of w. (. Hungerford, l.. P. Shade, Curtis Shel- don and J. Vance being appointed to undertake the submission Of an amendment to the bylaws.
 Miss Clarinda C.

 te in some quarters He IS one oi the youngest cardinals and was the last man to kiss Pope Benedict allVe'
 The sentiments reflected in Natlcan circles are exclusively those Of ltallah cardinals, since no foreign cardinal has reached Rome. The Italian pre- lates number 31 members of the ol the Sacred College. All the Italians have now reached Rome except Cardinal Frisco of Naples who may not be able to attend oWlng to advanced age and feeble health.
 The cardinals who are in Rome were to meet this afternoon to decide upon the date for holding the con- ,lave. Invitations then would De officially sent to all the cardinals throughout the world.
 Whether the date will be set for February 1 or February ?, it will be practically an impossibility for the American Cardinals. O'Connell and Dougherty to be present. The same is true of Cardinal Begin, of Canada.
 Thus it is expected that not more than 55 members of the sacred College will be able to arrive in time 10 vote for new Pope. A two thirds majority is necessary for an election.

Women Voters of Quebec Arc Dis
 appointed When Government Makes
 New Announcement

Quebec, Jan. 23.-Women of this province who demand the right to vote on terms of equality with men again have met with disappointment. The government has just announced that no suffrage bills will be intro- duced at the present session of the legislature.
 In Quebec the woman voter occu- pies an unusual position By the fed era franchise law of Canada she may cast a ballot in dominion elections but there is no provision for her voting in provincial elections. In the recent Canadian general election a heavy women's vote was recorded in many Quebec districts particularly in the cities.
 It is intimated that a referendum may be presented to the people at the provincial general election to be held next summer in order to obtain the views of the people on the question.
