CHILD TRAINING
shaII Thers Ba . santa OIans:
By Bertha Hayward Higgins.


 Mother" said my ten-year-old boy the other day, q want to take my King Arthur book to school with me. Is there any way in which I can erase Santa's name from the front? You see, some of the boys and girls won't under stand, they'll think I believe in a real man Santa Claus and It's so hard to explain"
 It Is true that to most children Santa Claus is a very real tangible person, and for this reason many mothers be- lieve that even the very little child must 'be told the truth.
 have always felt that 50 much of the joy would be lost from childhood devoid of Santa Claus that way should be found whereby the child could retain his belief in Santa Claus while he is at that stage requiring the use of concrete foErnA, but that he should be skiIHully guided to see the symbolism before he is rudely disiIlusioned by his playfellows.
 To my little. boy Santa Claus is one of the manifestations of Love, the Giver Of all good, He gives to rich and poe-. high and low, joyfully, gladly, for the pleasure of giving and with no thought of reward. He gives quietly, modestiy coming and going silently while the cAfdFen sleep.
 Christmas is the chlldrsA's day. The Christmas party is a birthday party given in memory of the Christ Child. So, Santa Claus is the ehildren's saint the symbol of joyous giving. have used as the basis of my San ta Claus story (eeth h school and hene) Eugene Fields 'The Story of Claus" condensed and siEnplffed. 6 developed I have used less of mythical more of the sSn1bolicAl until he has gradually come to know the wider meaning of Santa Claus, the spirit ~6s giving He has come to. recognize thai to give is more blessed than to re- eeive'' and he himself desires to be q Santa Claus. .'
 For the past two years he. has been allowed to <heIp select and trim the tree, make the wreaths for the windows l light the candles, built the fire on the 1 hearth, and finally, dressed as Sants Claus to remove the gifts from the tret and distribute them.
 This year we plan to go one step fur | ther and let him do it all, alone, ant surprise us, Grandms, Daddy and Mo 1 thef, as we were formerly wont to sur
 know that my brothers childrer l never had 50 happy Christmas as th' | first year they were permitted to do this Handled in. this way children will never 1 feel that they have been deceived, and far from shaking their faith in othei things, it helps to make real other thing 1 which are less easily put into conkr9' form.
 And through 1t all the child comes tt I understand and appreciate the greates of all gifts.
 I Yet, let the children have their Sants
 Claus, but don't let the Santa Claus mytl
 replace the Christmas story.

CIRCULATION WEEK ENDING DEC. Ssrd, tS22 ll,95O
sEsFrIING EUROPE.a ILLs.

Not exactly what might oe called a warm reneption has been given to the proposition advaHeed by Senator B~ah in whsch he would have President Hard- ink call an economic and disarmament conference at Washington for the pur- pose of adjusting the troubles in Eu- rope,
 It is another one of those instances where 1t becomes evident that Senator BoFah hadn't even gotten the approval of those who might be' expected to stand with him. This is revealed by the open exposition by Senator Johnson whose views usually jEbe with thesa of the Idaho senator like two peas in a pod.
 Senator Johnson hits the idea a solar plsrus when he declares "an economic barley of necessity must consider not only present conditions in Europe but the debts. due us and, of course, the rs'- arations due from Germany" and "H ws bring the nations of the earth here to Washington for such conference Wf will dump into Americas lap the econ onie ills of Europe and the separations muddle." '
 Possibly we might tA willing to SC, such . discussion going but there are conBeduenees that should be realized The senator from California points te them when he says we cannot enter in to agreements for the solution of thnRe economic ills without becoming involved politically and being obliged to assist in carrying out the terms, and thus abandon the traditional policy of Amer lea,
 The objection by SeAater Johnson is in keeping with other sane objections The idea advanced by Senator Borah oi helping Europe solve it's ills land theE get out" is easily said but would not b. so easily accomplished, Having aided in the agreements that would preeede any solution we would he expected tt aid in enforcing them. How could VI refuse under the circumstances? W. have kept out of European tangles t; pUr great satisfaction in the past and we will do well to adhere to that policy in the future.

COURTS AIDING SAFETY.

In these days when many arrests are being made for violation of trafic rega- latioDs and many accidents are hau- pening' because of a disregard for tho laws, more or less attention is being de- voted by states to the good results that are being obtained in other common wealths from the laws that have been enacted and the methods by which they are enforced.
 Likewise there Is more or less atten- ton being given to the manner in which certain judges are dealing with the violAtors brought before them, Hay Ing found that leniency Is only inter- preted as encouragement to disregard the law unless a policeman happens to be in s'ght, many judges have oean brought to the realization, through the many cases brought before them, that the bench must play It's part if theea is to be obtained that respect for the established regulations that is expected and needed. They recognize that 1t Is lime to let it be understood, as far, ns they can, that the law means some thing.
 That Is the view Detroit sudge takes and he doesn't allow any ioorAoiss When speeders are brought before h.m and convicted he promptly turns them sVe- for sanity test. Invariably they are found to be sane.

Lem Owen. after having been ban
ished from the game of Monday,
came back for the Accounting nine
yesterday and pitched fine ball. And
not only that, but Lem connected for
three Of the hits made by his club.
Tommy Degnan played fine ball at
third for the losing club, handling
seven chances without a slip. FitZ-
gerald caught we'll for the Marines
and also was the only member of his
team to make more than one hit.
To Owens pitching yesterday
hangs a tale. In fact, 1t was the
punishment inflicted on Owen when
he was banished from the game Mon
day that enabled him to come back
strong in the second game and clinch
the championship without the for
mality of third contest.
Monday, with a somewhat wet ball,
Owen decided to dispose of it him
self. and after winding up up t. to pitch
road and trees so far that no attempt
was made to get it.
The umpire banished him and Car
roll went in with an ,eight-run lead
and won out for the Accountants. 1t
was punishment for Owen. but it was
punishment that worked out very
well for the Accountants.
Standard Oil, mainly because of
brilliant pitching by Finney Kelly,
sent tHe Naval All otalloi w ueic
and won the championship of the
second series. Kelly allowed only
two safe cracks off his delivery and
sent eight men back to the bench by
the stri<e-out route.

gives. it the right to face Southern
