KINDLY CONSIDERATION

There is austerity even in the sun
shine of New Hampshre's hills
these days and so perhaps we might
misinterpret it's effect on the plastic
and seeking mind of the Dartmouth
student. But underneath an exte-
rior so lighted glows tropical
warmth of kindly consideration of
which it is pleasant to be reminded
by the following, published abroad
by way of that esteemed medium,
the Associated Press:
Dartmouth undergraduates like
their girls to look good to the eye
but they are solicitous also for their
comfort and health. Accordingly In
extending invitations to the colleges
winter carnival. February 8 to II,
the Dartmouth outing club added a
plea to the young women to provide
themselves with wooden mittens and
socks, high overshoes or boots, and
warm tam O. shanters.
1--WE saw you at the last carnival"
the message said, stand in the snow
in pumps. silk stockings, and a fur
coat. we were sorry Ind you did
not look as happy as you tried to-
So remember that there will be
snow. that YOU will have to stand in
it and that it will be cold. We wish
you to look pretty and warm, not
expensive and cold"

ONE BOAT, ALL ABOARD

Gratifying evidences of better COM
prehension OF the eternal truth that
any boat has much better promise of
making port II those who have been
rocking II turn to with an oar are of
daily occurrence. There is need of
every one OF them.
This week the shoe workers of
Lynn are considering recommended
tions approved by The joint council
Of the United Shoe Workers.of Amer
iea. These provide for the establish
ment OF a central rate committee to
be composed of a business agent and
one representative OF each local. act
ing with neutral chairman to be
chosen by the joint council. This
committee would have authority to
work out wage reductions and adjust
mcnts. TO take steps to have its de-
cisions put into effect and to conduct
all emergency dealings with manu-
facturcrs.
In the meantime il was said that
the Lynn manufacturers association
and the independent manufacturers
would be approached to see whether
the plan would he acceptable to them.
Under the plan the manufacturers
would be asked 10 cooperate with
the workers and to give reasonable
assurance that n greater volume of
business and consequently more work
for the shoe workers would result
from proposed reductions in wages.
Hero is a favorable indication of a
sensible mood. whatever may come of
IT,.
Earlier In the week announcement
was made that suit for big damages
would be filed against New York
garment manufacturers. This suit
follows as a result of the injunction
allowed by n supreme court justice to
prevent those manufacturers COM
binIng 10 enforce 49-hour week and
n piece work system.
= The need of longer hours or of
piece work is not germane to the
discussion for the reason that these
manufacturers had a different con-
tract with the unions, one which
hadn't expired. They are charged
with having broken it and so COM
yelling the workers to go out and on
the strength of their contention this
Injunction has been issued and the
unions propose to sue for loss of
wages consequent. it is alleged, on
the breaking of the contract.
However much or little may be the
damages fixed, If any are found, and
whether or not the breaking of the
contract be proved, this effort on the
part of organized labor to proceed
through the courts of law to main
tam their rights is profoundly signifi-
cant.

France Regaining
Much Of Prestige
Through Near East

Jerusalem, Dec. 23-(By MaiD-
France has achieved a great increase
of her prestige throughout the Near
East by her treaty with the Turkish
Nationalist by her surrender to
them of the whole province of
Cilicia and by gi,in assurances of
the moral support of the French in
the final settlement of the Near
Eastern question.
Mohammedans of Syria, Egypt and
Palestine are beginning to look upc n
France as having assumed the role
of champion of Islam in succession
to Great Britain and the later efforts
of Emperor William to become the
defender of the Crescent"
Political observers here affirm that
France has scored diplomatic VIC
tory in the Near East as result of
the Angora pact and that this means
the end of Allied cooperation in
handling Turkish affairs. France.
they say, never forgave England for
having turned over Mesopotamia to
Emir Fcisal who vas driven out of
Syria by General Gouraud. They
point out that Frances latest action
has placed hostile nation on the
border of Mesopotamia.
Only yesterday the Momammedans
, of Syria, Egypt and Palestine were all
united in their condemnation of the
French mandate and also in Syria.
Today they are singing loudly the
praises of everything French. The
Moslem press is devoting many of its
columns in appreciation of the An
CORA pact and the service it has rem
dered Islam in general and the
Caiphatc in particular.
Chiefs of Bedouin tribes. who in
past months have been a source of
trouble to the Syrian administration
on account Of regular raids carried on
in Syria, are now not only pledging
their loyalty and good behavior, but
corpOrated under the government Of
Syria.
A few days ago, great demon
stration was held in the city of
Beirut to commemorate the Anglo
Turkish Treaty. About 10000 Mo-
hammedans took part in the event.
Speeches were delivered by leading
citizens in all of which the keynote
was long live France; down with
England" A resolution wassadopted
calling upon all Moslems in all parts
of the world to stand loyal to the
French flag.

New England as a Winter Resort

NEW england dS d vvt1tcT lCSott
(Boston Transcript
Those who have been observing the
signs Of the times have~not failed TO
note that, in the way of winter resorts.
important rivals have been growing
UP for Palm Beach, Miami, st. Peters
burg and Bermuda. Have new tropic
and semi tropic paradises been dis
covered? Scarcely. The Geography
of the Land of the Sun is we'll known.
The islands that lift their fronded
palms in air" have all been mapped.
But the discovery has been made that
the sun shines on New England noun
tains and in New England forest glades
as we'll as upon Florida and the B1-
hamas. For the true joys of winter.
Il high temperature, it is found. is not
always essential. After all, good
bodily spirits and a genial and COM
forting flow of the blood in the ar
teries. is essential to the seasons en-
joyment, and people are beginning to
find that this indispensable requisite
to winter happiness is discove"able in
the snowy but also sunny North as
we'll as in the lotus-breathing South
And beyond all doubt, there is as great
variety of outdoor sports and occu-
pations in the Northern winter resorts
as in the Southern.
For supplying the joys of winter,
there is no place like northern New
England. Our highland resorts are the
most admirably adapted in thS world
to out-of-docr enjoyment. No one
needs champagne when the air of the
White Mountains, or of the Maine
lakes, or the serene snow-covered in
tervales and slopes of Vermont. of New
Hampshire, of Maine, of the .Berli-
shires, may be breathed with but the
slightest and easiest of journeyings.
We cannot indulge in sea-bathing III
New England at this season, but we
can battle in the most intoxicating and
inyigorating atmosphere that is to be
found anywhere on the earth's surface.
And the winter resorts of New Eng
land have an especial claim upon the
interest of our pleaSure-seeklng citi-
zens, in that they have a particularly
youth-renewing influence. They are
not merely the resorts of our youth.
though they are intensely attractive
to youth; they are places where the
vigor of youth may be restored to the
frames of the middle-aged and tie
elderly. while comfort as absolute as
that of the South may be enjoyed with
in doors, in we'll equipped and luXuri-
Gus clubs and hostelrics.
These New England winter resorts
are our very own. The memories OF
the fathers and the mothers cluster
about them. They arc the homes Of
hope, the headquarters of IMMIGRATION.
On the broad surfaces of their far
flung drifts. on the long. sl!ttering
reaches of their lakes. or in the lovely
depths of their forests, the ski-shod
men and women of New England and
of other sections of the country are
finding the true elixir of youth. The
pine has become the rival of the palm.

Make EN- Want to Come.
(Biddeford JournaD


Speaking at a dinner in Portland,
Hon. Carter B. Keene, president OF
the State of Maine Club of Washing
ton, d. c.. declared that Maine must
recognize the fact that other states
are attempting to steal its tourist and
recreational business" and that. she
must awaken to the situation and
adopt measures to prevent it. steal
is a Harsh word to use in this con-
nection. Other states may recognize
our natural advantages for encour-
aging such business and they may be
mildly envious of success along this
line, but they are not stealing or try-
ing to steal when they attract or try
to attract a part of this business.
There can be no monopoly inherent
in the tourist and recreational bust
ness People will come to Maine. If
they do come. because they find con-
ditions, on the whole, more to theii
liking here than elsewhere. Maine
and the promoters of Names inter-
ests will be barking up the wrong tree
If they try to make capital out of the
idea that Maine is being unfairly
treated by other states.
