WY HY should we limit the
" Christmas spirit to one
" day out OF the 365?
Is there any reason why we
shouldn't be friendly toward life
and humanity and why We
shouldn't expect gifts OF, value
from the world all through the
year?
Goodwill is in the air on De-
cember 25. The expectancy of
Joy and the sense of carols sing:
ing from out the heart give to
Christmas day wonderful tang.
Why not carry it along with us
as we climb the ladder Of the
season?
Wasn't Christmas a happy day
for you? Didn't matter greatly
whether your stocking held a
string of pearls or a string OF
popcorn. 1t was love that placed
1t there. Good will was every
where. You gave off the spirit
of love and cheer and good will,
and they came back to you from
all space. Now, / wonder-don't
YOU think they came back be-
cause you and every one else eX-
pected good will to be the order
of the day? Suppose you expect
ed that all the year round and
not just at Christmas time? Don't
you believe you'd get what you
were confidently looking for? .
On Christmas Day, in the morn
ing you greeted the street car
conductor and the elevator boy
and the policeman. And all of
them gave you smile for smile
greeting for greeting. Ever try
doing the same thing when ii
wasn't Christmas Day? And how
many failed to give you smile. for
smile? q.
- Now, suppose that the rich
aunt from whom you expected a
n-dollar gold piece sent you
nothing but a pretty handker-
chief on Christmas? Did that
spoil the day? Why then should
it spoil any day of all the year
If its gifts are not what you
wanted? And anyway, why ex-
pect gifts-why not feel that you
want to be on "A fifty-fifty basis
of fair and square exchange with
life and folks?

in the New York Blondes.
Clancy remembered how, year
ago. when the FLU first raw
aged the country. Mademoiselle
peLisle had been stricken on the
night the Blondes played Zenith.
Shed almost died, too. She said
herself that If it hadn't been for
Clancy when nurses were so
scarce and hard to get, that she
sure would have kicked In. Shed
been mighty grateful to Clancy.
And when she left, fortnight
after her company, shed given
Clancy this card.
Morris Beiner amt the biggest
guy in the world, kid she'd
said, ''but he's big enough. And
he can land you a job. He got
me mine,'' she stated. Then, az
she caught a CLINT Of pity in
Ciancy's eyes, she went on: Don't
Judge the stage by the Blondes
and don't judge actresses by me.
I'm an old.timer, kid. I never
could act. But IL the movies had
been in existence twenty years
ago, I'd "a cleaned up, kid; hear
me tell It. It's q crime for
girl with your looks to be

you don't have to be an actress,
you know, Just look pretty and
collect the salary. And a hus-

girl like you really wants. And
You can get It. Think 1t over.
kid"
Clancy had thought it over.
But it had been one of those alb
surlly hopeless dreams that could
never be realized. And then, two
months ago. had come from Cali
fornia an inquiry az her possible
relationship to the late ste.
phen Burgess. Aunt Hetty
had visited the courthouse. look
ed up marriage records, with
the result that, two days ago,
Clancy had received draft for
seven hundred and thirty-two
dollars and forty-one cents, one
eighth Of the estate of Stephen
Burgess, cousin of CIancy's
mother.
It wasn't fortune. but
Clancy, after shrek, and show
ing the precious draft TO Aunt
sHetty, had run upstairs and foi,fld
the card that Fanchon DeLisle
had given her. She stood before
the mirror. She pirouetted, turn
ed. twisted. And made her de-
cision. II she stayed in Zenith,
she might, if lucky, marry a
travelling man. One hundred dol
lars a week at the outside.
Better to sink in New York
than float in Zenith! And Fan.
chon DeLisle had been so GER
tain of Clancy's future, so rose
ate in her predictions, so positive
that Morris Beiner would place

caused by Connecticut motor vehicle
accidents in the first six months Of

Including this latter figure, the total

counting hospital bills, loss of time
from business on account Of injuries
while under repair.
The average age of the rs persons
whose lives were lost as a result of
motor vehicle accidents in the first

the average earnings of person in
Connecticut are s25.25 a week
throughout his life. The American

expect to live S91s more years. At
that rate. each, of those killed would
have earned $51,s63.50 In the re-
mainder of his or her life, which, for

UP TO SUPREME COURT
Knotty Question of International Law
to Be Decided BY United States
Highest Court.

Washington, July 27.-The supreme
court has been asked to decide wheth-
err the counterfeiting in this country
of Canadian securities can be pun
ished under the penal code. The
question was before the Eighth Cir
cult court of appeals for solution, but
that court found it so perplexing that
1t called upon the highest court for
instructions.
Isadore Luvisch was convicted in
the federal district court for eastern
Michigan of counterfeiting Canadian
excise stamps, and was sentenced to
five years in Leavenworth. While
serving the sentence he applied to the
federal district court of Kansas for
writ of habeas corpus, which or
dered his discharge on the ground
that the offense for which he had
been convicted did not constitute q
violation of any law of the United
States. The warden of the peniten-
tiary, while holding Luvisch in con-
finement, took the case to the federal
court Of appeals for that circuit,
which suspended further proceedings
until the supreme court could consider
and pass upon the question.

Foe of Seamen's Law
 Revives Old Libel

 Under the operation of the La Toilette seamen's law American busi- ness men are not going into the deep sea trade without subsidy to guar antee them"
 This will pass as truth among trad CTS and money lenders, for whom the Wall Street Journal speaks. The statement, however, is not true, as indicated by a hearing conducted by the house committee on merchant marine and fisheries (page 4, volume D;
 Congres Bankhead: "I under stand from the presidents address to congress, and also from the statement that you have made, that you do not undertake to recommend or urge any material change in the seamen's act that now exists?"

I came down to Wash ington believing, as most people in my part of the country do, if you re- peal the seamen's act you would have merchant marine. That IS pure bunk"
