Twenty-Five pupils, as a daily aver
age, constitute a full class under the
law, Maj. RAYMOND o. Wilmarth. chief
accountant of the school system, told
the supervising principals at a meeting

USE OF CHRISTMAS STOCKING
Custom Comes From Sunny Italy
Where Poor First Used Long
Knitted Purses.

xAJSY7l HE custom of hanging up
ESJ stockings on Christmas Eve
t| comes to us from a land far
across the ocean - from
sunny Italy.
In the city of Padua, long ago, good
old st. Nicholas used to go about the
streets after dark and throw through
the windows of the homes Of the poor
people long knitted purses, tied at
both ends, and containing much need
ed coins. These purses were made Of
yarn, and when united looked not I'M
like a footless stocking
Finally, as time went on, the poor
people, hoping thus to remind the
more fortunate Of their needs, used to
hang these empty purses out of the
windows on the night before Christ
mas, so that a gift might be placed
In them.
In the north country where the
weather Is cold at Christmas time, the
purses were hung by the chimney
place in the hope that st. Nicholas
would drop his offering down the
chimney.
When the purses went out of fashion
stockings as the thing most like them
were used in their stead, and that Is
why we today still observe the prac-
tice and the custom.

An Iowa boy arrested in Seattle
on the charge of stealing an auto
mobile was given some good advice
by the Judge who sentenced him to
prison: The judge said: You
should read good books. There are
two books which you should read
and study well, they are the Bible
and the Constitution of the United
States" There are thousands of
people in this country who would
not be injured in the least by fol-
lowing the suggestions of the Seattle
judge.

All this talk about the wonders OF
King Tut's tomb, and all the relics
which came from it that tourists
will soon be able to buy, reminds
US what a well known traveller said
about some ancient relics he saw,
He visited many famous old places
in Europe, and on comparing notes
when he reached home, he said
that if all the bones of st. Peter
which he saw were collected into
one place, there'd be bones enough
to make skeletons of one hundred
and fifty men.

In Germany women criminals
are given the maximum penalty by
jurors of their own sex. 1t is also
reported that in Germany juries
composed of women have discour-
aged women of committing murder
by showing them no mercy. At
that rate we need women juries in
this country when women are being
tried for murder and other crimes.
They so far have failed to get jus.
tice at the hands of men jurors.

AT least a million dollars in in

by the people of this country who
are still holding S90,000,000 worth
of U. S. victory bonds which were
called for redemption last Deem.
Der Is. 1t is safe to assume that
these bonds are not in the hands of
the rich who always keep their mon
ey working at interest earning rates,
and the instance can only be judged
as an indication of better times
among the poor or careless on their
part in holding securities that have
ceased to draw interest.

A man who has no enemies is
seldom good for anything; he is
made of that kind of material which
is so easily worked that every one
has hand in it. A sterling char
acter is one who thinks for him
self and speaks what he thinks; he
is always sure to have enemies.
They are as necessary to him as
fresh air; they keek him alive and
active. A celebrated character
who was surrounded by enemies
use to remark: They are sparks
which, if you do not blow. will go
out of themselves

Republican Voters Have Had
Enough oil Harding.

Letter from Republican voters
who don't like Harding" and gave
reasons against his denomination,
or against his reelection, if he is
renominated are becoming rather
frequent in the columns of news
papers either of the Republican
faith or Republican prepossessions.
The New York Tribune, an ancient
organ of Republicanism recently
published such letter under two
column heading. Now the Brook.
Ign Eagle gives currency to COM
munication of the same general
tenor.
The writer, who says he has been
Republican for Al years finds fault
with an editorial statement of the
Eagle that Mr. Harding will. grow
stronger with the people if he main
tains the courage of his known
convictions The Eagles and
Mr.. Harding's critic declared that
the latter made us sick to our
stomachs" and caused many to
doubt his courage and backbone"
The president also got on our
nerves" this writer says.
Being saleman, | have had
opportunities to investigate" adds
the author of this deprecatory letter.
You would be surprised to know
how Republicans assert that we
have had enough of Harding"
Engineer Charles j. Barnett, who

zine why engineers dread grade
crossing accidents. Mr.. Barnett's
article also appears in the National
Safety News for May. Grade-cross-
ing accidents are largely due to the
recklessness of automobile drivers,
according to Mr.. Barnett. Many
drivers seem to be subject to kind
of speed intoxication which causes
them to lose their sense of Judg-
ment, he says, A more widespread
realization of responsibility for
safety would, the writer suggests,
reduce the danger of accidents at
crossings. During the present sum.
mer a campaign will be carried on
to educate the public in taking
at railway crossing.
Mr. Barnett believes all railway
should take an active
part in this movement.
G. S. Huston who is Mr.. Hoover's
secretary of commerce is going to

Too many people have the mis-
taken idea that to be charitable
means simply the giving of money.
That is mighty fine charity when we
give our wealth to the poor and
needy, but how about a little char
ity in our thoughts, in the evil re-
ports spread by the gossip that as
sails the character Of others, in the
shortcomings, in the trials and
troubles of those about us in our
evryday life? Can we charitable in
our analysis of all these? Often
the greatest charity is spread by a
smile or kind word to those in
distress. Unless we can qualify in
all these we have no right to the
distinction OF being referred to as
charitable.

a TW ftnlSIMAS IS not merely
EMV festival celebrated by and
SS6>x| for man alone. Among the
~ folklore of other countries
are several quaint stories
in which animals and birds give evil
dence of their alteration. A we'll
known Bosnian legend offers a version
of world-adoratlon. They claim that
on the holy day "the sun in the east
bowed down, the stars stood still the
mountains and forests shook and
touched the earth with their SUBMITS,
and the green pine tree bent; the
grass was be-tlowered with the open
ing of blossoms; incense sweet as
myrrh pervaded upland and forest;
birds sang on the mountain tops and
all give thanks to the great God"
In Bosnia on Christmas Day a sheaf
of rye is put near birds nests and
bird houses for the birds Christmas.
An old Indian legend says that on
Christmas night all the deer in the
forest kneel in alteration before the
Great Spirit Woe to him, however,
who tries TO spy upon them. He Is
punished with perpetual stlffening of
the knees.
Many people of the Old World
claim that on Christmas night animals
are gifted with speech, but none must
trespass or eavesdrop.
Many and many have been the tales
which account for tbs robins red
breast. In great many parts of Europe
he is called the Savior's bird, and n
story is told that when the Christ was
crucitied the robin, unable TO stand
His suffering, ventured to pluck the
thorns from His head In doing so, the
blood stained the robins breast, which
sign he wears today.

How it feels to be in train tina
is blown from the track by a cy-
clone is told in the May issue of
the Illinois Central Magazine. The
train was a freight train on the Bir-
mingham district of the Illinois
Central, and it was caught in
twister at Pinson, Tenn, the even
ing of March IL. Fourteen freight
cars, mostly loaded and!the caboose
were hurled from the track by the
force of the wind. The members
of the train crew, including Engi.
neer A. F. Johnson, who tells the
story, were all severely shaken up
and bruised, but none was fatally
injured. Nineteen persons were
killed and seventy five injured at
and near Pinson in this storm.
