To Get the Best From Life.

One should have some unattainable
ideal, something to do in life which
can never be finished; some engrossing
avocation; and development Of mind
and soul that we can summon when all
external resources fail to keep us
young and vigorously enjoying our
youth. Cultivate good disposition,
serenity and poise. Most of the worry
is about something that never hap
pens. If you do these things, while
you may not attain eternP' youth, you
will very materially affe your future
and you will add not only to your days
of life but will make them more CON-
plete, increasing your capacity for liv-
ing and for enjoying existence to the
very end. "A

The Deaf
Ear That Heard

20, 1922, Western Newspaper Union.)
MRS. BECOME was not giving any
AVA thing that Christmas. The an
nouncement Of her limited purposes
had sent a chill through the house
that froze the hopes Of several young
people. A shower of one-cent cards
registering good wishes that were
rather cheap, had gone out. The bag
of candy for the eager, but insincere
well-wishers that ring Christmas bells
year by year had not been provided
The outlook was not promising.
Besides, Mrs. Begone was very deaf
in one ear and could, upon occasion
be very deaf in two ears. It was
difficult to make her hear anything
that she didn't want to hear. There
wasn't much chance for persuasive
argument. She could be as deaf as an
adder, when she had concluded not to
be a multiplier.
Nevertheless, Susy did not despair

well prepared Christmas appeal which
was favored with anticipations.
But as soon as the old lady heard

wholly unable to hear more. Susy con.

to give up, when she was encouraged
by the beginning of smile that
seemed to promise to spread all over
Mrs. Begone's countenance. This
hint of success was reflected in q
broader smile upon the child's face
that in turn found registry upon the
face Of the other and certified that
the battle was won.
It was a costly smile, for Mrs. Be
gone; six very empty stockings asked
for contributions the next evening

Human Nature
VS., the
Christmas Spirit
BY Mary Graham Bonner

1VK7E WE'RE full Of the Christmas
W spirit. We were going to be more
kindly, more charitable, more friendly
with the whole world. The Christmas
spirit had penetrated. We could feel
its warm glow. And scatter a glo-
rious Christmas In the old homestead
we were on our way back to the city
where lately our work had taken us.
The travel was heavy, Of course,
and we found ourselves waiting at
the end Of long line to get into the
dining car. We waited for an hour by
our watches. We were exhausted from
having stood and from annoyance at
the slowness of others and because we
were very hungry.
Finally the line grew shorter. Soon
our turns would come. But 1t seemed
not. For those who had gone into the
dining car at last to eat took time
about 1t even though their absence
made the waiting line shorter one.
At last we were at the head Of the
line. It had been long process to
work up to this point and we smiled
at one another.
"Only moment now and We'll be
eating" we fairly beamed the words
But again it seemed not so. For
those at the tables were eating and
eating and eating. They would never
finish, it appeared. When they ap-
preached the end Of their meal and we
almost bounded to the nearly.vacant
table we discovered they were taking
their time over their coffee.
"How selfish people are" we said to
each other. "How much they lack the
unselfish Christmas spirit. It means
nothing to them! They know there is
great line waiting and they don't
hurry in the least. Why, Just think Of
the length Of time we've waited and
there are more to follow us. And yet
those people can be as leisurely as
though they were in their own homes.
It's outrageous, simply outrageous,
how utterly selfish people are.
And you would think at this time Of
the year they'd be a little more
thoughtful"
And to our exhaustion was added
the sorrow we felt in the thoughtless-
ness of human nature.
And then-the head waiter sum-
moned us to a table. Two persons had
at last arisen and at last our turns
had actually come!
We sat back and luxuriously perused
the menu. Well, we were hungry. We'd
have good meal!
And we began to order.
"And I'm just going to take my
time about it, too," 1 said. "Just be-
cause people stand there and glare at
us, as though we almost had no right
to be eating our meal, isn't going to
make me hurry"
II should say not said my COM
panion. "Well take all the time in the
world in spite Of their ugly looks!"
It was some time later that we re-
membered the Christmas spirit we had
been SO full Of before!
Human nature VS.. Christmas spir-
It," we said sadly to each other.

THE FAILING FLASH

THERE was a pattering of
1 feet through the hall and a
small spot Of light approached
the big fireplace. A long and
Dubious stocking was clasped to
a beating heart and an eager
little face was half revealed as
1t turned bedward again in the
faint glimmer. Then sudden
darkness overwhelmed the small
pilgrim, and, as she lost her way
and bumped into a chair, the
stuffed Christmas stocking fell
to the floor with a bang. The
wall that followed brought
father down stairs in a hurry
and comfort to the lost traveller.
what is the matter, baby, what
are you doing here?' said the
rescuer. "The Electricity fell
out" was the fearful answer.

Mo Hope for Better Car Service,
 Supt. Beardsley Tells fife Herald
Autos Cut Down North End Line and
 FarmingtOn Avenue Bus Project

There are no immediate prospects of any changes being made for im- provement in the trolley service given to the city of New Britain by the Connecticut company, r. l.. Beards- ley. superintendent of the local di- vision, told representative of the "Herald" in an interview this morn- ing.
 Mr. Beardsley said that he believed the city was adequately served by the company considering Athe amount Of traffic there is on the various city and suburban lines. Although Mayor A. M. Paonessa has, at several times, spoken to MT. Beardsley in an effort to have continuation of the ID minute trolley service on the stanley to Francis street line after 7:07 o'clock in the. evening. the superintendent said today that at present with the cars operating on the half hour sched- ule a number of trips are made with out any passengers or with very few and a IS minute service would not pay.
 MT. Beardsley did state, however, that with the completion of the new Normal school in that section of the city and with the increased building which is going on in Belvidere 1t IS probable that improved service will be given within another year.
 Autos Cut Down Trolley Fares
 ''The, great increase in privately owned automobiles has had whole lot to do with decreased riding in the trolley cars Mir. Beardsley said, "as
New Britain herald., 1922-12-11

hundreds of people are given lifts by their friends and in that way do not have to ride on the trolleys,"
 This is true in New Britain where people have been known to stand on the curb waiting for q trolley when a friend passes by in his car and gives the waiting trolley passenger ride into town. Instead of families going to the movies or theaters in trolley cars they most often ride in their own automobiles.
 No Extension for Years
 Mir. Beardsley also repeated the statement made by l.. r. Storrs, pres ident of the company when he attend cd the last conference of the trans portation committee held in the mayors office sometime ago that be- cause of the financial condition of the Connecticut company there can not be any possible extension of any lines in New Britain for some years to come.
 Although at the conference the pos sibility of replacing the Pennington avenue trolley cars with busses was discussed nothing has been done in the matter. Mir. Beardsley said as there are many people residing along that line who do not want the trolley cars removed as they claim that the bus service is not as satisfactory as that of the trolley.
 There are no immediate prospects of service being resumed on the Arch street line with jitney competition. MT. Bcardsley said.

 Reject French Policy.
 The British cabinet it was authori- tatively stated, rejected the measures of force for the Ruhr district upon which Premier Poincare insisted. Premier Bonar Law informed Premier Poincare that British, public opinion was overwhelmingly opposed to any military measures against Germany
 Open Break Near
 It was stated in French circles that the adjournment was merely meneu- yer to prevent an open break among the allies, particularly between France and England, and that there was little likelihood of finding a com mon basis of agreemnt. It was fur ther pointed out that in spite of Pre- mier Poincare's desire to cooperate with the new British government he had been forced largely by the po- litical situation at home to demand the Ruhr as the price of any conces- sions to Germany.
 The meeting of the premiers scheduled for this noon was postponed until 4 oclick. It was expected that in the meantime private interviews would take place among the premiers in an 11th hour effort to save the conversations from what seemed this morning to be inevitable postpone ment.

 An even greater expansion in gen. eral business was prevented by in- adequate rail transportation. To- bacco employment displayed re- markable recovery from the depres- sion of the previous month.

 At the time your prices were down, Russia and Austria, Germany and France were hungry and couldn't eat. because they couldn't pay"
 They couldn't pay, Clemenceau de- clared, because of the unsettled condi- tions in Europe directly traceable. he asserted, to the fact that the United States left Europe after the war with out helping enforce the peace treaty.
