STILL URGING EARLY SHOPPING

If Postmaster General New has his
way about it, Christmas Day this
year is going to be the biggest and
the best for all the employees of
the postal service and especially for
the ever-faithful letter carriers.
He has issued orders to postmas-
tiers throughout the country that
their offices will be closed all day
Christmas except for the dispatch of
special delivery letters and parcels
and special handling letters and par
GELS
In order that the vast army of
carriers and clerks may enjoy
Christmas Day to the fullest extent
with their families and friends, the
cooperation of every man, woman
and child in the United States will
be necessary.
Under the leadership of the Post
master General, a campaign is now
under way throughout the country
to instill into the minds of every
body the necessity for shopping and
mailing early in order that there will
be as little congestion at the post Of
fices as possible during Christmas
week and in order that both the SEN
der and receiver of gifts and remem-
brances may reap the happiness that
is contemplated by such an exchange
of presents.
Once more the Post Office Depart
ment urges the American public to
do it's Christmas shopping and mail
ing early. If the shopping is done
now the buyer gets just what he or
she wants and if the gift is mailed
before December Is it is sure to
reach its destination in plenty of
time before Christmas Day

MONUMENT FOR
GEN. MUHLENBERG
Representative Harrison Asks For
Appropriation of $4,000

General John Peter Gabriel Muh-
lenberg was a revolutionary hero.
He studied theology and was pastor
of Lutheran churches in New Ger
mantown and Bedminister. New
Jersey. He removed to Woodstock,
Virginia, and was ordained priest
in the Episcopal Church April ri,
1872 by the Bishop of London to
comply with the law for collection of
tythes. He never changed his con-
nection with the Lutheran church.
He was a member of the Virginia
House of Burgesses in 1874, and was
prominent in personal---very. move
ments.
AS the story goes, his entry into
the military service was spectacular.
On one glorious Sunday morning, he
preached from the text that there
was a 'stime for peace and a time for
war" and devoted his sermon to the
establishment of the fact that the
time for war had arrived. At the
conclusion of his sermon he laid
aside his priestly robes and disclos-
ed to his congregation the uniform
of a continental officer. He recruit
ed the leading members of his con-
gregation and marched off to join
Washington His services through
out the war were of the highest char
acter, and he became a general.
After the Revolutionary War, he
returned to Pennsylvania and was
elected to the first Congress, to the
third Congress and to the sixth Con-
gress, and at the expiration of his
term as a congressman, was elected
to the United States Senate. He died
near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Oc-
tober /, 1907.
The church in which he delivered
his famous sermon S o d II

worn on the occasion are also pre-
served

reflected that here was new

and clubs.
IF 1 can blow a quill several
inches into the tough hide of
my beloved spouse, thought
Bungdup, what bird or animaI
can escape ME If 1 speed one

Thus were evolved the first
blow-gun and the first arrow.
The Caucasians began to de-
nude their pigs Of their quilts.
AS fast as new ones grew out,
they were plucked. Some of the
pigs escaped to the woods and
became the ancestors Of the
porcupine.
After several generations of
plucking, nature began to pro-
tect piggy from his tortures by
refusing to grow more quilts
and by substituting bristles.
And when piggy no longer had
to devote part of his food to
the nourishment of long quilts,
it was remarkable to notice
how fat and tender he became.
And he has improved from
generation to generation until
today every one agrees that it
is to the pig we must look for
the most delicious Of all meats.

he Is distributing dozens of bulbs
among his neighbors. The lily family
multiplies itself fairly rapidly from
bulbs, he rays. More rapid progress
can be made with seeds, but the
plants will not run true to form.
First Ismane Lily Grower.
Mr.. Pierce was the original Wash
ington grower of the ismane lily or
Peruvian daffodil, a native South
American flower. which rapidly is
making a place for itself in American
gardens. 1t bears a white flower with
green stripes and with a very delicate
perfume. 1t Is not true lily, but Is
a closer relative to the daffodil
Pierce is obtaining a considerable
collection of the half-lilies which
f1ourished In old-fashioned gardens,
but which since have been greatly
depleted. He hopes to do something
to restore them to popularity. These
include such flowers as the lily of the
valley. the fairy lily and the day lily.
The best results for Washington
can be obtained from such varieties
as the white Madonna lily and the
Easter lily, which not only yield large
blossoms OF fine quality, but are fairly
hardy. Comparatively little cultiva'
ton, he believes, will produce for the
amateur a glorious succession OF
bloom In early Summer from these
types. The one feature of their cul'
tivation which must be watched very
closely is the type of soil to which
they are suited. Some thrive in acid
soil while others would die very
quickly in such surroundings. Some
insist on very damp surroundings
while others thrive best with little
water.

ist was suggested that Traffic Director
lEldridge and police officials be asked
lto study the situation and cooperate
in working out safety plan at these
intersections.
II Langdon Case Discussed.
i The fire hazard problem at the
slangdon School again came up for
consideration with the reading of a
iIetter from Engineer Commissioner
Bell opposing the abandonment of the
frame building at this time. The En-
.gineer Commissioner declared it is pos
,sible to eliminate any danger at this
school. Supt. Ballou. concurring in
Col Bells statements, let it be known
that four rooms in the building, re-
lgarded as particularly dangerous,
would be closed anl the classes dis
tributed in four portable buildings in
the Langdon neighborhood

DIR. Ballou announced. He explained
Shat this will be made possible through

OTHER PEOPLES CHILDREN

OTHER PEOPLES CHILDREN
This is a problem which every mo-
ther has to deal with at one time or
another - other peoples children.
Your own boys and girls are within
your knowledge. amenable to the
rules of your making, their actions, in
other children who come to the house
a measure, practicable, but those
after school or on Saturdays, going
from room to room with wide, inquis-
tive eyes, using strange slang, sug-
costing wild, unaccustomed games
it is evident that they have been
trained by an entirely different set
of rules or by none at all.
1t was when the children started
school and began picking up wider
| acquaintance that this problem of
other peoples children first came to
vex me. Then gave the matter a
good deal of serious consideration. To
solve it in a tactful, good-natured
way-that was what I wanted to do.
It was all wrong, knew, for my
house to be so rudely overrun. upset
and demoralized by such undestrained
and often destructive, hilarity. Not
always could I be at home to check
its progress. Nor was it right that
such a guardian should be necessary.
When people sojourn in a foreign
country, reasoned, they come under
the jurisdiction of that country. And,
surely, it should be the same with
households and rules Of households.
The children who came into my home
to enjoy its privileges, it's attractive
games and books, should be amenable,
while there, to the same rules that
governed my own children.
"And that thought I, ais a rule
that works both ways"
So, in the first place, I told my
children that when they went into
other homes they should propose no.
thing that was contrary to the rules
of the place.
"And," I added with some foresight
'sif there seems to be no rules, act &C
cording to the ones we have here at
home and you won't be very far from
fright"
Then. so as to have everything per-
fectly clear and well-defned in my
own little democracy, the children and
made list of rules which l typed in
capitals and placed conspiciously on
the kitchen wall.
Here are some of them:
"When not at the dining room Ia
BILE, all eating must be done in the
kitchen"
"Clean hands for clean books"
| eject must be kept off upholstered
chair seats"
'Rough games to be played OUT
of-doors.
] Of course there were others, but
all pertaining to those little niceties
of behavior that make our children
more comfortable to live with and re-
quire from them only a little ordi-
nary thoughtfulness.
i l was rather doubtful as to how
the children Of the neighborhood
might look upon my bulletin of rules.
but the idea appealed to them I'M
mensely. It seemed as if they actually
liked it better-this knowing just
Iexactly what was expected of them
They were not driven away, but came
as they would to a well-conducted
lclub, behaved decorously, and even
suggested other rules now and then
as occasion seemed to demand.
My experience is that children, gen.
orally, would rather be decent than
otherwise and will behave well if the
way is made clear and reasonable.
