CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

Beginning tonight in some instances and tomorrow evening more general ", the stores will remain open usually until p. m. until Christmas, The merchants schedule was published in the Herald yesterday with some addi- tional names today and should be pre- served to avoid disappointment. It is obvious that this is done both for the convenience Of late Christmas shop pers and for inc merchants who have taken care 10 gather a splendid stock of goods and who rely upon Christi mas time as a profitable season which carries them over many dull periods.
 But the shoppers are the ones pri- marily benefited. Instead of having 10 take time off from work, or hurry their buying when this time off' is impossible or too costly, they are given three extra hours or so 10 select the gifts they want, Increased plea sure on the part of the recipients Of these gifts will come because Of the more careful selection by the donors.
 And there should come, too. more general observance of the real spirit of Christmas by those who buy and those who sell. The former, tho shop pers, we who purchase, are likely 10 be the more guilty in our forgetful- ness of this spirit of good will and thoughtfulness than are those who wait upon us. Crowds are inevitable unless we get out early and buy our gifts. With the crowds comes irrita- ton, often anger at ourselves for de- laying onr buying, which tends to make US irritable with everyone with whom we come in contact And the clerks and employers. those who wait upon us, are the .ones who suffer mentally and physically
 Possibly as trying work as there exists is that Of waiting on trade" at Christmas time. The long hours, nec- essary then, intensity the discomfort. Even though each customer exercises the greatest forbearance and thought in their buying, the actual physical labor Of showing goods and displaying an assortment brings physical weari- ness that few who have not stood be- hind A counter know. Make no mis- take: the clerk is just as anxious to have you suited as we are to find the article we want, If we are impatient, how much more cause the person who is doing his or her best to suit Us has 10 be worn and absolutely unable to preserve that glorious calm We de- nand
 All we can do. for our own sake as we'll as for the sake of those who wait upon us is to try to do our shop ping as carly in the day as possible, but. if prevented from doing this. try to imagine ourselves, whether we are clerks, merchants or buyers as repre- 1 sentatires Of the Christmas spirit anda. make that spirit govern us. not only in presenting our gifts but in procur- ing them.

PINCHOT JIBES AT
 GOVERNOR SHEER
And Jersey Executive Strikes
 Right Back

Philadelphia, Dec. 19. Governor Pimchot of Pennsylvania and Cover nor Sizer of New Jersey, exchanged sdtirical remarks here last night at the annual banquet of the New Jer- sey society of Pennsylvania, attended by 800 sons of New Jersey.
 Mr. Pinchot said that he did not know whether he had been lucky enough to prevent a miners strike or unlucl<y enough to cause the price of coal to advance. In reviewing his ef- forts to form a compact of states to deal with the hard coal question, Silzer's part in the conference he said: IL 4
 Jibes Jersey Governor
 ''I want to recall the conference to which l invited a variety of gover- nors. Very few accepted, but Cover nor Silzer was one who came. I don't know but that l might quote and satan came also l found him de- termined that no state but Pennsyl- vania should be responsible for the reduction in the price of coal But ! outwitted him by calling a second conference after he had gone, a meeting which decided that all the states should share. And now he's willing to assist Pennsylvania. There is now and then an individual who is the victim of circumstances. be- leve Mir Silzer is one of those who arc sometimes against the things they are for"
 Governor Silzer said he wondered whether MT Pinchots quotation and Satan came also" meant that he had ''raisnd Hell" with him during the conference of governors. and Governor Pinchot replied amid ap- plause that 1t did.
 Presidential Bolt
 While Pinchot likened his exper- fences as governor to those of an earthquake" said Governor Silzer, "I would like to ask him what it would be like 10 be struck by presidential lightning. But there's something worse. That's being struck by the desire to have it strike. This is much more painful, especially when it doesn't strike.
 He says the democratic organiza- ton has told him that I am dry. That's true. But it's because I'm in Pennsylvania. This may be alleviat- ed before l leave town. No, l don't believe Mir. Pinchot would be good one 10 go to. to relieve q thirst, if had one"
 At this point the two governors drank toast of water Co each other
 Speaking seriously, Governor Pin chot reiterated his determination to obtain strict law enforcement in Pennsylvania,
