ONE JOE Only ON CHRISTIANS

In 0lden times, and indeed today In
many parts Of the Old Country, it was
and is considered unlucky to leave a
job unfinished at Christmas. No mat
ter the kind Of work a heroic effort
was made to have it done before the
festivities commenced. No piece Of work
was begun near the end Of the year
that could not be finished In time. It
vas q tradition closely adhered to By
Scotch blacksmiths that none Of their
craft would do a job on Christmas
day. To this rule there was one ex.
ception. If anything went wrong with
the meal-mil the apron was donned
and the defect attended to. The well
fare Of a whole district might have de-
pended on this job being done in
time. In some districts, notably For
farshire, the servant was absolutely
free from his master during the whole
Of Christmas day, and went about the
country visiting his friends and &C
Guaintances.

Generosity is relative. You may be
able and perfectly willing to beStow
any of the named gifts upon a friend
or relative and yet not be generous.
Any n Of them may represent to you
a mere bauble, and to the recipient it
may be but a duplication of one al
ready possessed and of no particular
value or enjoyment. In fact, the
thought might be held that you should
have done better.
A generous gift represents some sac
rifce upon the part of the giver. 1t
might involve a sacrifice of money, or
time, or service, but often a little sacri-
fee of pride will make some one happy.
To suppress a real or imaginary
wound to the feelings and sincerely
and frankly re-establish cordial rela-
tons with a friend would be one of
the most generous gifts one could be-
stow, even though that friend might
lack nothing in the way of wealth or
other apparent means to the normal
enjoyment Of life.
There are cases where q sacrifice of
money would relieve real distress; q
little time and sympathy might give
new impetus to a diSOrdered existence
a gift Of utility might relieve physical
pain and inconvenience; a gift of beau
ty might bring happiness for the mo.
ment; a gift of food might save a phys
zeal life.
All of these undoubtedly would ado
TO the enjoyment Of the recipient, fol
the time, at least, and the giver would
have a certain satisfaction in doinl
Something to that end.
But in the complexities of the mod
ern life more people are hungry TO
Some ones heart-interest than for an.
other one thing.
To give of your heart is a generou
gift that will make every recipien
glad, and also the giver. Such a gif
will enrich the life and soul of him VIII
receives it, and most Of all, will fill tn
life Of him who proffers it with tn
music of the eternal symphonies.

of a case of much interest to the peo-
pie of Fredericksburg. The citizens
were thrown into state of wild
excitement on Sunday afternoon,
April 3, 1921, by a terrific explosion,
which was heard for miles. The force
OF the violent detonatlon shattered
the windows In scores of business
houses and private homes in many
parts of the city and caused the

buildings. Practically the entire pop

ANSWER IS SF|LED
! IN THEATER SUIT
Trust Company Denies Loan
ing Money Individually in
| KniCkerbocker Deal.

The National Savings and Trust
Cc<aapany yesterday filed it's answer
in the District Supreme Court to the
suit recently brought by William j.
Forsyth, administrator of Mary A.
Forsyth, n victim of the knicker-
booker Theater disaster, ana
others against the knicker-
booker Theater Company, Harry NJ
CrandalI, the National Savings and
Trust Company and Reeves T. Strick-
land and Charles, I. Tittmann,
trustees, under a deed of trust
Plaintiffs, on behalf of the Knicker-
Socker victims, are seeking to set
aside the sale of the theater property
last spring to Crandall and asked an
accounting of the trust company of
the $150000 secured as loan to
Crandall on the property.
The trust company denies that II
loaned the money, in its individual
capacity. and says 1t acted only as
trustee and had paid over the entire
sum, according to the direction of the
persons lending the money, before the
filing of the suit and now has no
portion of the money in hand. 1t
denies any know ledge of the alleged
purpose of the theater company seek
ing a sale to Crandall. who is said to
the purpose of denuding the assets
of the corporation so that it could
not respond in damages to the vic
Tins of the catastrophe. The record
showed the title to the property
TO be in Crandall and the
trust company relied entirely on
that the court is advised. The prop
erty was sold at auction after unusual
advertisement in The Star and other
newspapers, the trust company points
out, and many bidders were present
when the sale was made to Mr.
Crandall for $l77,500.
Reeves T. Strickland and Charles
u. Tittmann, trustees, make a similar
response to the suit and say the loan
was negotiated by them with clients
who are depositors with the trust
company. They also relied on the
record title and made the loan to
Mr.. Crandall personally. they told the
court. Attorneys CIephane and
Latimer and Gilbert l.. Hall repre-
scented the trust company and the
trustees.
