TWO MILES A MINUTE

Time was when people listened with
abated breath to any mile-a-minute
achievement. Speed was the end, even
though it was to be had only at the cost
of human lives But human sacrifice
has always been necessary incident of
progress.
And what is the end of speed? Is it
to crowd into this short span of our 9x-
istence as many of the things which go to
make up what we call life as we possibly
can by cheating and circumventing time?
We of today have expanded our lifetime
in actual accomplishments two or three
times beyond that known two or three
generations ago. Men have come to
think in terms of what hath man
wrought" instead of, as when Field laid
the first transatlantic cable connecting
two remote continents the message was
flashed, what hath God wrought"
Now comes the report that an automo-
bile has travelled at the rate of one hun
bred and fifteen miles an hour or nearly
two miles a minute for distance of two
from century ago when, the battle of
New Orleans continued to rage for more
than a month after the treaty of peace
had been signed between Britain and
America, to the Armistice of 1918, news
of which reached America a few minutes
after it was signed; from the day of the
stage coach to the steam locomotive;
from the amanuensis to the typewriter;
from the courier to the telephone and tel
egraph and from the horse-driven vehicle
to the automobile. The day of the tallow-
dip has given way to that of electrical
illumination.
For centuries man has been striving to
annihilate space and time. By slow
degrees he is, in a measure, succeeding. In
all this it remains to be seen whether man
has accomplished the real purpose of life,
that is, not how much he can get out of
life, but how much he puts into it.

SEVENTEEN PENNIES

Elsewhere in this issue we print the
letter of little girl who has contributed
her savings of seventeen weeks, her mite
of seventeen pennies, to the Community
Christmas Tree Fund. Her name is not
really Pablita. 1t would not do to tell
the world who she is nor does her name
really matter She is symbol. There
are hundreds of thousands of little Pab-
litas, some of whom we all know. Christ
mas seems to have been made for them.
Who can read her wonderful letter
without becoming imbued with the true
spirit of Christmas? There is something
of vicarious mother love in the touching
appeal of the little sister speaking for
her little brother
Do not permit these little hands to be
stretched out in vain. Poor indeed are
they who can resist such an appeal.
They are little hands and all they ask is
a little. We know that Pablita's eloquent
appeal will not go unheard.

Studebaker in expectation of the
25 per cent stock dividend and
maintenance of the regular $40
rate, which was announced later
in the day. Studebaker fluctuated

Great Northern preferred dropped
from 80 at the opening to rs, or
Az points below last nights close.
Losses of one to two and a half
points also took place In other rail
shares.
Industrials also were inclined to
ease off, but they stiffened consid-
erably on announcement of the
Studebaker dividends and the re-
sumption Of payments by the Ken
necott Copper corhpanv, which de-
clared a quarterly dividend OF rs

EDUCATION WEEK

This week, which has been designated
by President Harding as Education
Week." will serve useful purpose if ii
calls the attention of the pepole of the
country to a condition which we con-
tinually lose sight of in the pride we take
in our educational structure.
Considering the magnificent system of
public schools we have built up, the per-
centage of illiteracy is so high as to sug-
gest the need for radically corrective
measures. Census reports of 1920 showed
that five million persons in this country
six per- cent Of our entire population
could not read or write And there is
every reason to believe that in these fig
ures the government erred on the side of
leniency. One of the useful results of
inducing some four million men into mil
itary service in this country during the
World War was the discovery that the
nation had been fooling itself on the ex-
tent of its iliterate population. The gov
eminent said six per cent, but tests made

seventeen pennies-two or three
Of which were bright and shiny
and new and the remainder of
which bore the sticky marks of a
child's boarding fingers-rolled
from a dirty envelope left at the
Journal Tuesday afternoon.
The first contribution left for
the Elks Christmas tree fund!
A tiny mite of child, dirty and
cold, edged her way bashfully up
to the Journal counter, dropped
her letter and ran. She had rob
bed her penny bank and brought
all its savings, seventeen weeks of
them, to donate to the Elks fund
so that her little four year old
brother might not cry over an
empty Christmas stocking.
More than anything else in the
world, little Pablita wants a drum
for her baby brother, Son. And
Pablitas mother told her that
Santa might forget them because
they were poor. Pablita remem-
bered the ElRs Christmas last year
and poured her brave child heart
into her letter:

We can, and we do, take great pride

serious question whether the results are

Time


There is "a hours in every day
even the days that seem like less
and inclooding the ones that seem
like more, and if you know how to
tell time all you half to do is look
at a clock and find out which one
Of the "a it is rite then, only it may
not do you eny special good to find
out, on account of most people jest
looking at the time to practice
telling it and satisfy their curiosity.
Some clocks are more bewtifill
than others, depending on how
mulch there is to them besides their
face. Some big clocks have little
bits Of f .ces and it don't do you eny
harm to look at them even if they
are stopped, because at leest you
are sure to see the decorations,
vile some little clocks have nothing
to go with their face, sutch as
alarm clocks. Nobody wunts to
look at a alarm clock when its not
going and most people even hate
to heer them wen they are going.
But the most important thing
about a clock is weather its rite or
not, because if a clock is slow or
fast 1t only tells you wat time it
would be If it was erlier or later,
witch its not, and if a clock amt
going it ony tells you wat time 1t
was wen it stopped.
Watches are a CRATE invention
because they prevent people from
having to carry GROUND clocks. All
you haff to do to find out wat time
it is eny hour of the day or mite
is ask a man with his watch chain
showing and he'll tell you unless
he has key on the end Of 1t.
Big cheep watches are the most
convenient because you're not dis
appointed wen you look at them
and see they're not going, on ac-
count Of you having knew 1t eny-
ways because of the suddin silence.
They are also a CRATE comfort to
poor people because when they are
alone in a dark room with a big
Cheep watch they can imagine they

A LITTLE LAUGHTER

| Many stories are told about the
hard-heartedness of bankers--most
of which, of course, are libels on
the really fine character of these
stern guardians of the public's
finances-but here is one witty
enough to be forgiven:
A New York banker had the
misfortune to lose one of his eyes
in an accident on a golf course. He
had 1t replaced with a glass eye.
1t was a wonderful piece of work
manship, and he was extremely
proud Of his artificial optic. One
day one of his old customers
dropped in for a talk.
"Pll bet you,' remarked the
banker, that you can't tell my
good eye from my glass eye"
The customer studied the bank
er's eyes intently for half minute
before he answered.
"Ill bet you hundred dollars l
cant" he declared.
you're oni Which one is It'll"
"The glass eye is your right eye
replied the customer, confidently.
"Well, III be hangedw ejacu-
lated the banker, as he reached for
his check-book, "but how did you
know it?"
