THE CHRISTMAS RUSH

.WE have now come close to the
peak of the holiday rush, and
retail trade this year is apparently
going to be bigger than ever be-
fore 1t is too bad that more peo-
pie have not followed the policy
of buying their stuff early and
getting their purchases out of the
way.
However, people can help some
if they will take up this PROPOSE
tion right away, and get their
purchases made out and sent off
at the earliest possible moment. 1t
is absurd and thoughtless for so
many of them to pile into the stores
and post offices during the last
week and create an unreasonable
congestion and cause serious
strain and fatigue to a large num-
ber of hard working people.
1t may be objected that perhaps
half of the people have no money
ahead and they can not thus an
ticipate their wants.
If so, the great majority of them
have shown very poor foresight
Considering the freedom with
which the majority of people spend
in these times, it would seem as if
those who are thoughtful and con-
siderate could just as we'll have
set aside enough money for holi-
day purchases, so that they could
have had them out of the way by
the first of December.
We can all do something to help
get over this rush period with the
least discomfort, if people are
considerate and good natured

cause they are not waited upon
with the utmost promptness, make
things go badly. Those who keep

the time go easier for everyone.
The merchants of Winslow are
getting a splendid trade, which is
well warranted by the enterprise
they have shown in providing hol-

it rained, it was too wet to fix the

So on advertising. When bust

business is good, they think they
don't need it.
The point of view thus suggest

promoting the growth of a bust

Attorney General
Says SOC Fee For
Permit Is Illegal

Ruling of Attorney General John
w Murphy this week has made it
unnecessary for owners of auto
mobiles to pay the so cent fee for
drivers license in accord with
the new law in effect on January
/. The new law, according to the
ruling, permits the car owner to
get the license free provided he
shows certificate of title to the car
at the time his car license plates
are issued.
The attorney general has ruled
that in case an automobile is own
ed Jointly under partnership, as
sociation or by corporation, but
one permit shall be issued, with
out the charge of so cents each.
A person trading in an old car
for new automobile only entities
him to an operators permit free,
in case no permit has been previ-
ously issued in his name
The transfer of certificate of title
transfers the ownership to the car,
also license plates.
The secretary of state, upon re-
ceipt of the reports and remittances
from the various county assessors,
will make a refund to all owners
who have paid for operators per-
mits since October 1, 1925.

tary of state, requesting Mr.. Muir

Dear Mr. Murphy: On October 8,

In the absence of an opinion by
your office, advised several of the
county assessors to charge fee of
fifty (50) cents for all operators
permits issued, until receipt of your
opinion, with the exception of those
issued to registered chauffeurs and,
in the event your opinion held 9TH

The Dawn OF Hope
By LORETTA BAUER
For The Winslow Mail

With the first flush of dawn there
is born. a hope,
A prayer, perhaps, or creed
Just smile or a song that will
linger on,
Through the day to someone in
need
Just a hope that is hoped ard
meant to come true
Through the sunshine and rain of
the day,
To help some poor heart drive its
sadness apart,
And Danish each tear away.
But as the dying sun droops low,
and amid the clouds is hushed
That hope into another world, is
borne with colors flushed,
So catch that CLEAN ere it fltts to
to world far away,
1t can't come back some ether
time" some far off other day
For as the minutes speed and dark
ness comes DER the earth so
waste and wide,
That hope has passed the Master
Mind, and stepped the Great
Divide.

MUSIC

THE MAIL last week published a
list of musical selections made
up by an authority on which music
a child should know, the selections
to constitute the test of memory in
the observance of music week.
There were thirty-five selections on
the list Thirty-one were European.
Four were American. Three Amer
ican composers were recognized,
MacDowell, Sousa and Herbert
Mcdowell had two numbers on
the list.
German music led the list with
fifteen choices. France was next
with six. Norway, Russia, Poland,
Hungary and Italy each were cred
tied with two.
Europe has never given Amer
lea much credit for al artistic
feeling, appreciation or ability. 1t
IS recorded in recent article by
John Phillip Sousa in the Saturday
Evening Post that when Sousa and
his band visited Germany, the
American consul at one of the Ger
man cities advised the cancellation
of the concert, because the German
sensibilities would no doubt be
offended by the crude American
offerings. That the consul, and
the German people. were surprised
beyond measure, was, of course, a
Pleasant climax to the episode.
Tte old worl has laughed at
the Presumption OF the new for
thinking it could produce music or
art in comparison with the tradi-
tion of the old world, and the new
has grinned with a sheepish gcs-
ture of agreement. However, Eu-
rope, never in it's long history, has
produced a singer who could affect
so many people as our own Carrie

Europe has never produced or had

than those of Cadman on Indian

are based on no other themes.
American music has been clean,
wholesome and spiritual, and me-
lodious, rhythmic and harmonic.

would contain a larger proportion

Dear Mr.. Kerby: In reply to your
