 away, With an echoing laugh and the lit of 8 To an old-fashioned Christmas day To big old house in little old town, Where you and the others and I Made merry together, with never frown And never a thought of a sigh. The big old house in the little old town, Oh, how 1t would rock with our mirth And gather us gladly and cuddle us down. The homiest place on the earth. It wasn't upholstered in tapestries rare, q see the old window-seat yeD It may have been shabby bit here and

 Well, those are the things we forget But, oh! the mysterious secrets it knew, That old house, when Christmas was
 coming, And the laughter and fun ringing through
 1t and through, And the voices and somebody humming; And the hour when around the piano we'd
 meet, -.s Yes, even in busy December For an old Christmas hymn with its har-
 mony sweet

 CTdln uOWn Would bring back a sister or brothers, To the big old house in the little old town, Where Christmas meant home and the
 others,
 And the old house was looking it's holiday
 best, ~\ And the table all spread for the feast; With an extra chair set for the holiday
 guest, Some stranger, "one of the least'' The big old house in the little old town They tell me the years are unkind, It looks bare and neglected, it's fence

 Well, 1t is Christmas time now, Jack-only three days ahead And I was just thinking what good chap you were for whole year after the Billy Bobs episode-till your father got angry and beat you up.
 Pretty tough life you've had, Jack, was thinking Good-for-nothing fa- ther and slattern mother and every kind of crooked teaching. Then you were a handsome boy, an exceedingly handsome young man, which is the worst kind of handicap one can start out with.

AVER STILL AT
 N'ORk ON HIS
 BIC COLLECTION ].

Chicago, Feb. 10-Brisk and kindly eyed at 80 years, Chicago's most eX- tensive collector, Edward Everett Aver. is now rounding out his con- quests of the past
 Younger Chicago has forgotten, if it ever knew, that MT. Aver was first president of the $S.0OO,OO0 Field Mu- scum of Natural History on it's lake front, but it gapes at the Egyptian rnummies he himself bought along the Nile and the American Indian collection he gave the museum It perhaps does not generally know that for 32 years he has been a trustee or it's Art Institute, nor that he gave the Newberry Library the greatest collection yet made of American 1n- dian literature.
 Chicago has other wealthy men who are great collectors, put none the range of whose interest has been so broad Their tastes ran chiefly to art and books, his to natural hlS-
 It was a strange turn that led this farmer boy and later 1umberman to gather the treasure of kings palaces but stranger still that his inspiration hould have come from an old history of Mexico.
 'AH the success I have had in collecting" MT. Aver observed re of Mexico. It was the first book l ever read. I came across it while fighting Indians during the Civil War in New Mexico and Arizona. It made me interested in them. and then in their literature. and later l began collecting other things"
 If it was Prescott's History of Mex ico that put MT. Aver into collecting, 1t was a very successful business that kept him there. MT. Ayers business field was lumber, particularly rail road ties. He built up a very large concern but he did not let it worry him and for 26 years he and Mrs. Aver spent four months a year in Europe, travelling and collecting.
 Bronzes from Naples. silver and gold jewelry from Northern Africa, Venetian glass, rare old faces, stuffs and 1ustres are among the treasures of the Old World that MT. Aver has brought back to enrich Chicago. He also has given the Field Museum one of the finest libraries on fishes in the United States, and library on birds to match. The museum has named a hall after him, and the collection he gave the Newberry Library has been named after him. To top off his collection, MT. Aver has defved into pewters and furniture. He has also endowed the Museum. the fnsti- tute, and the Library.

Washington, Feb. 10 -. A Comn1is- sioner General of Railroads to repre- sent the general public before gov ernment bodies considering matters in the field of Interstate Commerce was urged in report submitted yes- terday before the nidyear conference here of the National Council of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States.
 Four thousand business men at tended and listened to a report read by George A. Post of New York. chairman of the Chambers Railroad Committee, in which was urged the appointment by the President of a Commissioner General of Railroads.
 The method that the report pro- posed is to create new Federal agency in charge of Commissioner General of Railroads, whose sole bus mess 1t would be to consider the whole public interest and to repre- sent it before existing government bodies that consider matters affect ing transportation by land, water and air, and the use of tracks, highways, terminals, transfer facilities, docks and landing places. Into controver- sies between shippers and railroads and between employees and railroads, the report said. this agency would have duty to bring in considerations or general public policy.

Russian Newspaper
 Cost 2,O0O Rubles

Stockholm, Feb, 1o.-Rusfan news boys now, for the first time in years, selling daily papers in the streets of Moscow, merely exchange a bundle of papers for an arTnfu1 of rubles. Street sales of daily newspapers are now permitted in all Russian cities, ac- cording to Russian correspondent of Stockholm papers.
 The Moscow Investia, formerly given free of cost by the Soviet gov ernment to Soviet officials was put on sale at 2,0O0 rubIes a. copy. A boy who sold 50 of them would be loaded down with 100000 rubles in Bolshev- list currency.
 The first days sale of a. Moscow daily in that city amounted to 10000 copies at 2,O0O rubles per copy, or a total of 20,00O,000 rubles, but on the second day the sales fell off, and in about 8 week, only some 5000 copies of daily papers were being sold.
 The monthly subscription price of daily newspapers in Moscow is 10000 rubles, and 45, 900 in the adjoining ru- rai districts. Only billfonaires in the modern Russian sense of the word car afford a daily paper, but, of course, there are good many billion aires in Russia these days.
