Il Song for
Christmas
By James Uhitcomb Rilep

***&%*%<*+++* ++*@%+++$*+4l
- HANT me q rime of Christmas-
Sing me a jovial song
~ And though 1t Is dllsd with
laughter,
Let 1t be pure and strong.
Sing Of the hearts brimmed over
With tho story of the day
OF the echo Of childish voices
That will not die away.
OF the blare of the tasseled bugl%
And the timeless clatter and beat
OF tho drum that throbs to muster
SQuadrons Of scampering feet
But, O, let your voice fall fainter,
TIL, blent with minor tone.
You temper your song with tho beauty
OF tho pity Christ hath shown.
And sing one verse for the voicelessi
And yet, ere the song be done,
A voice for the ears that hear not
And . verse for the sightless one.
For though 1t DO time for singing
A merry Christmas glee,
Let q low. sweet voice OF pathos
Run through tho melody.

INDIANAPOLIS, October IA. "A

Indiana State Farm for contempt of

day by Arthur l.. Gilliom, attorney
general Of Indiana
The attorney general contends the
Supreme Court has no Jurisdiction
over any of the questions involved.
Mr.. Gilliom also asked the dismissal
of a request for a writ Of certioraI-i
by which Dale seeks to place the case
before the Supreme Court for review.
The editors citation three years ago
was primarily based on his editorial
allegation that a grand jury which
had indicted him under the State
liquor laws was hand picked" Dale
claimed the liquor charge was
framed" at the beheSt of members of
the ku Klux Klan, against whom he
had waged a fight. Dale charged in
his paper that the Klan controlled
Muncie and Delaware County politics.
Dale's sentence was affirmed by the
Indiana Supreme Court, the justice
who wrote the opinion holding that
the editors offer to prove his charges
against the grand jury was no de-
fenSe.
1.-The truth of an article is not a
matter of defense; neither is it de-
fense to show that there was no in
tent to commit a contempt" the JUS
tice asserted.
AS d result of this opinion, Dale
appealed to the United States Supreme
Court on the grounds that his consti-
tutional right Of free press and free

BALLOT SHOWS SCHOOL HOUR
CHANGE IS GROWING IN FAVOR
Poll Discloses 78 Per Gent of Votes Asks
$50 Opening in Order to Keep
Children Out of Traffic.

Mrs. Edward NJ. Cleary, 5756
Georgia avenue, in voting for the $3.50
opening, today pointed out the "un-
necessary hardships' that would be
caused by the suggested SIS or $3.50
opening hour.
Husbands, and in some families
wives and elder children as well"
Mrs. Cleary said, ARE bread-earners
and must get to work on time, usually
at 8 o'clock. Consequently, they
must have first consideration at home
in the morning. If the opening of
school should be set as early as sI5
or $50, the youngsters would be even
more sighted than at present. Even
now they do not, In many instances,
get proper attention because of their
parents rush to get to work on time.
A $50 opening hour would give
mothers more time to get their chill
dren ready for school"
On the other hand, opponents of a
later school opening hour point out
that the resulting later closing OF
schools in the afternoon would cut off
half hour from the youngsters
available time out Of doors. Voting
absolutely no" on the $50 hour,
Mrs. Chauncey d. Snow, 5719 Chevy
Chase Parkway, declared: "Under our
present system the children have lit
tie enough time out Of doors; school
should convene at $50" H. w. Gauss
of I'll North Carolina avenue south
east, voting for S:15 or $50 o'clock,
said: "A $50 hour would shorten the
sunlight time for the child to play in"
Park View Opposed.
Among those voting for the pro-
posed $50 hour were Mrs. George
McCann of PIP + street, who said:
Eyes, by all means, for the automo-
bile traffic at Twenty-frst street Is
terrific; K. l.. Nelson Of 493 Jack
son avenue, who proposed the $50
hour for high schools as we'll as
grammar schools, and f. NJ. Hay
ward, superintendent of the Swartzell
Methodist Home for Children, who
has 20 children to send to school each
day.
The Park View Citizens Association
last night, at its meeting at the Park
View School, voted against the de-
laying of school opening because citi-
zens of that section found that there
was no dangerous traffic congestion in
that particular territory shortly be-
fore o'clock and therefore the
change would be of no special benefit.
Fred s. Walker. president of the
association. pointed out that for two
years schoolboy patrol has been or
ganiZed and active at the Park View
School for the protection of the young
er children from traffic near the school.
The system, it was recalled, was in
augurated at the suggestion of Miss
Frances Farley, principal of the
school. Other actions taken by the
association last night included adop-
t1on of resolutions calling for better
lights on Georgia avenue, protesting
against location of a gas filling sta
tion on Georgia avenue at Park road
and approving the membership cam
palgn of the Federation of Citizens
Associations. About 100 attended the

turn the blow, but other about the
table interviewed. Judge Blake re
