SANTA CLAUS SAYS GO"

Some Of Us just refuse to learn by experience. We burn our fingers. sui fer a minute. and swear we'll be more careful with that darned thing" next time. We trip over the same ob- stacle regularly each time declaring that we certainly will remember when we pass that way again-and We do not remebrer. We go on making the same careless mistakes year after year. and we learn, a lot of us. only after we have had some terrible warning in some big matter.
 w. gho are buut that way go through tho same discomfort every year a little less than a month from now We realize, at the last minute, that it Is Christmas time and half the things We wanted 10 get remain to be procured. Then We rush about, making uncomfortable ourselves, the merchants and the clerks and everyone with whom we come in contact. The special gift we wanted 10 buy is gone. The lines are depleted, Our choice is limited, and we are dis eusted and dissatisfied. Probably wo have to beg off from our job, OF take hours away from other important work that has popped up unexpected iy. But we must gci those presents and that is all there Is to il So we join the struggling crowds in the stores and do tho best We can with inc patient help Of the merchants and their employes. In the end we have about as much of the Christmas spirit in us as soaked umbrella.
 And this happens year after year Solpmnly and more or less vehement ly, We declare as we are rushing about to get that last gitt or that only giCt upon which VIC have planned that newer again will we wait until the last fcw days before Christmas 10 do our shopping. We'll begin the first of No Nembar, by gracious, and choose wise . ly and well from among the big line that is on hand al that time. Well buy those presents gradually and calmly, quite as we manage about the l every day affairs. When November arrives we have forgotten that Christ mas is coming. It seems but few days ago that we celebrated last Christmas.
 Well. tomorrow Is the first day of December. the Christmas month. More things than we realize will come up as the days Of the month pass. and these things will have to be al. tended 10. But there's that Christ mas shopping to be done. The less We have 10 spend, the more time we have to take to get the right gifts The 1 time to go about it is now. IT we be- l gin today 10 plan and look about and 1 buy when Christmas comes there will ! be none of that rush that takes away so much or the Christmas joy for our i selves and for those who try 10 aid .

l never must if affect q right.
 Often it is difficult o find out what
 the desire of the majority is or, to
 put il another way, whether or not, a
 majority wants certain law or ordinance. But when it is possible to find out, it should not be difficult to accede to such desire of the minority
 as far as it is possible to do so with
 out taking from the minorities any Of their inalienable rights.
 The matter of parking ordinances is
 always a vexatious one. But there
 can be no question but that the vast
 majority Of the people of this city
 want the streets to be made as free
 10 traffic as possible. There are more who pass up and down the highways Of the city than there are people who want toe park their cars for any con
 siderable length of time on those thoroughfares. There are more peo- pie who want to stop for a moment at the curb to do some shopping or other business than there are people who want to block that street by leaving their cars there for hours. Those persons who would make sholt stops have certain rights, They should be able to find a place 10 stop without blocking all traffic on the street.
 The merchants who have stores on the busy streets are dependent upon free access to their stores. Persons wishing to go into them should have that free opportunity, These people, the ones who desire free us of the streets and the merchants who have business places on the streets, con stitute the vast majority, Their wishes should be considered first; rpeir wishes which amount, practically, to rights Then the minority members Of which want 10 park their cars for half a day d whole evening, or couple of hours of the day, should be considered They should be accom- modatcd only as long as such accom- modation does not infringe upon the great right of the majority to have free access to the streets and safe course upon them.
 Arch street, Court street and Broad street are familiar examples Of streets where the rights Of the vast majority have been infringed upon for inc sake l of accommodating the minority Of the 1 people. These streets, especially Arch | and Broad, should be kept free SO l those wishing 10 pass over them will have ample room 10 pass another car danger; they should be kept | free for the transaction Of business l. by those who are forced to drive up to the curb and who remain there . only short time. On Court street il is absolutely impossible at times to use the street as it was intended to be used. II is chokcd full Of cars be- cause of the habit of some to park and leave their cars at the curb.
 The wishes of the majority. in this matter Of parking. are rights Consid- aration for those who want to take np part Of tho street by parking their ,drs at the curbs for long periods 'hould never be allowed 70 interfere with the absolute right in the high ways Of inc great mass Of the people.

Since last May, young Fcngler has been a driver. making his first appearance at the Indianapolis sweepstakes. Ii was i George s.

 [ Just as Fengler left the pits yes- terdsy while the cars were lining up for the Thanksgiving Day classic Wade waved 10 him and called out icheerfully:
 ''Give fl 10 'em. Harlan. show 'em what t can do." Friend RusIIes to Him. Those were wadp's last words. A moment alter the speeding car Of Harry Hartz struck him as he stood On the outer edge of the track, d. most instantly killing him. Fengier was among the first 10 reach his dying friend. The side Of Wsdeis broken body seemed 10 unnerve him. With tears flowing down his cheeks, he made his way back to the pits. and there they found him. after the bodies of Wade and the other vic- tim Russell Hughes. news photog- raphsr were out of sight Of fhe crowd and Inc minds Of the fans were back on the approaching race.
 IinisIfe-s Race. Fcngler seemed to have forgotten tha speed contest. The starter yelled: the cars reared and the lineup in psce. Then the mechanic in Wade's Iif spoke. "Remember what he said. Harlan, show 'em what the Wade special can do"
 Fengier walked unsteadiIy to his ear. started with the others. clung ioEeedly 10 the wheel until the last of the 2s0-nerve vrackinr miles were behind him and finished fourth. with his machine rUpning perfectly.
