CHRISTMAS TREES

Says delegate to the National Conference on
Utilization of Forest Products
1T is poor practice teach children to have trees
at Christmas and then to plant tree next year. You
are allowing them to do what you are seeking to
prevent 4s
This is true enough if the Christmas tree practice
requires cutting down evergreen tree for every tree
the child plants. At best, this means standing still
in the matter of forestation, at time when the num-
Der of trees should be increased The universal popu
arity of fir Christmas is threatening the
tncon of the Species unless heroic taken
to make good the cutting of millions of trees every
winter. -
But isn't there an obvious compromise? Or rather,
are there not two obvious compromises? One Is to
raise evergreen trees especially for the Christmas
trade Just as flowers raised for Easter thus saw
ING the new forest growths. The other is the very
pretty CUSTOM coming into popularity in recent years
of buying small living trees in tubs using them through
the holidays and then planting them outdoors for con-
tnued enjoyment. Many a family now has length
enng series of Christmas trees growing IN the front
or back yard.
This is an especially fine custom, as we'll as
profitable one, for nurseries to encourage

pOSTOFFICE ARTISTS

An avocation or hobby is said to be wholesome
factor in any individuals life. But few large organlza
tons po in for what might be called wholesale avoca-
ton for all members. Something of the SORT came TO
light recently in London.
EMPLOYEES of the British postal system have
flourishinq art club the members of which do very
credtable work in drawing and painting. The CLUBS
latest exhibition had display of 400 pictures Many
of these paintings have been examined by prominent
art critics and have been declared OF exceptional
beauty and genuine worth. One postottlce employee
has had pictures in the salon OF the Royal ACADEMY.
Nevertheless he is continuing to earn his hVlng py
working for the postoffice department.
OF course not all the postal workers have talent
tban from the club. Photography and needlework
are recognized as arts and fine examples OF these
branches were shown in the exhibition
1t is an interesting and unique sort OF club, IN
those days when workmen usually get together IN SIM
liar groups merely for athletics or social activities
One wonders the art club got its start whether ne
talent disclosed thereby will take some of the artists
ont of the postal system, and whether the art cluo
hobby improves the postal service as whole.

LECTURING RUSSIA

Great Britain still recognizes Soviet Russia, but
the recognition will not amount to much For the new
British government refuses to raty the treaties ne
gotiated with Russia by Premier MacD Donald. The rea-
son, explained in letter from the British foreign Sec
reary, is something that the Soviet government might
protitably take to heart
Secretary Chamberlain writes that this refusal is
not based the treacherous Znovieff letter. alone,
but on the whole body of revolutionary propaganda
of which the letter is fair specimen and which is
sometimes conducted in secret and sometimes not
cealed
'Pronouncements of Mr.. Zinovieff, which have
been broadcast throughout the world, are in them
selves evidence of the propaganda in which the Third
International with the knowledge and consent of the
Soviet government, perpetuay induges and it is
this system which, in the view of His Maestys govern
ment, is inconsistent with the solemn undertakings
given by your government"
This hits the nail on the head. The Russian gov
ernment undertakes to make treaties for friendly in
tercourse with other nations, while the political or
ganizaton behind the government conducts llegitmate
activities making friendly relations impossible.
The world has not right to say what kind of gov
ernment Russia shall have, what kind 1t shall not
have. But when Russia comes asking for admittance
to the fraternity of nations, she must accept the re-
sponsbilities of that fraternity along with its prlv-
leges and play fair.

CHAPTER Il

Occasionally in those first days we
spent at the hotel had sat in the lobby
for a time to watch the people. The
women seemed so assertive--as If they
always had their own way. They APP
peared to lead, the men to follow. /
recall hearing very pretty fluffy
haired young girl say to her escort. a
dignified looking man, much older than
she:
"No, I do not choose to 60 there.
We will go to Morton's.'
very well, my DEAR" the man had
answered placidly, seeming not put out
in the least anything to please you"
wondered if ever / should dare to
speak to Manville like that, and il.
did what would he say was positive
he wouldn't answer me as had that man
in the lobby, vet th.t lctter--in it the
writer had said, "Meet me at the Ritz"
not asking, but herself naming the place
without consulting his pleasure.
Had he loved this other woman very
dearly? / wondered. He had said that
most men who remained unmarried
until they were thirty had some amuse-
ment."
could not sleep for thinking of that
remark, and of the letter I had read.
Were there dark places in my hus-
bands past of which he would not tell
me? That had been what a novelist
called it, dark places" longed to
