Christmas. If they would make gifts
only to those whom they really love
and want to remember, the holiday
would be more of Joy and less OF a
drag.
IF it only weren't for the Christmas
let-downl" another will wall You get
tuned to the pace of holly and candles
and plum pudding and turkey. And the
day after there's that let-down with a
thud! I don't know any day or any
week in the year so much like cold
gravy as the day after the last OF the
holidaysi"
Well that is q serious mistake Of
Christmas, of course, to be such red
letter day that no other day can equal
Il! One might as we'll say that sun
sets and sunrises are all wrong be-
cause the days or nights to come are
such let-down"! Or that we should
never have Summers as preludes to less
satisfactory Winters, or that flowers
should never bloom because they will
only die.
But the very fact that the anvil
chorus continues to knock Christmas
is serious indictment Of human be-
ings who permit the dross to shroud
the gold: who refuse the sweet because
OF the taste OF the bitter.

The Gazeka.

A LARGE carnivorous mammal
hitherto unknown, was discovered
not so long ago in Dutch New Guinea.
The animal, found and named by Eng
lish naturalists in the course of coast
explorations, lives at an altitude of $50
yards in place inhabited by tribe OF
black dwarfs.
The gazeka, as this beast is known, is
striped like a zebra, but its aspect is
ferocious. The animal is like a tapir
and is of a species supposed to have
died out thousands Of years-+ago. Its
nrotruding teeth give It, an@aYpearance

Four Cent Gas Tax

That Louisiana will adopt the plan proposed by R.
S. Sterling, chairman Of the Texas highway commits
sion, for the financing Of highway construction upon
q statewide basis was indicated Tuesday when the
state senate passed a Accent gasoline tax constitutional
amendment by a vote Of 2s 20 10. The amendment pro-
poses that one cent OF this tax will be funded for the
supper. Of a Sso,OOO.oOO bond issue for re-financing
the state highway commission and building hard sur
face roads.
The amendment will be submitted to the voters al
the general election in November, and state leaders
express the opinion il will carry By an a large majority.
Governor Long, in his message 70 the legislature,
stated that the gasoline tax amendment was OF utmost
Importance to the state and urged there be no delay
in taking action. He cited the fact that the counties
and road districts of the state are compelled to pay
interest on bonds at the rate Of 5 to 6 per cent ana
that the state bond issue could be floated at a maxi
mum Of 1 per cent. He also called attention to the
lack Of cooperation among the parishes and districts
in relation to a connected highway system, which, ne
asserted, is proving a serious handicap to state devel-
opment.
There is one feature OF the proposed amendment
that is destined to cause considerable friction through
out the Sales.--future to exempt from the tax gasoline
used for agricultural and industrial purposes. While
this is q very minor part Of the total gas consumed
in the state, practically all sales being for use in mo-
tor vehicles, il will provide opponents Of the amend
ment an opportunity TO do some effective campaign
ing. There can be no question that the amendment
as it now stands is unfair in this respect.
The next session Of the Texas legislature will be
called upon 10 pass a similar gasoline tax, but no con-
stitutional amendment will be necessary to make the
tax effective in this state. The plan announced BY
Commissioner StSerling. which proposes the use Of the
tax money as a basis for a state bond issue and the
refunding to counties Of funds expended on state high
way projects, has met almost unanimous approval
over the state, and leaders predict that the measure
will be one Of tie most popular ever presented the
legislature.

Her heart was heavy and she felt like crying.

IL was after the show that Janet
got a surprise-and realized for the
first time just how small New York
can be. In the lobby, going out, she
saw a familiar face. The woman
near her looked puzzled, then sud.
denly smiled just as DR.. Riley turned
and saw her.
why, it's Miss Barnum." Janet
was eager. Funny that We should
see her here"
Ballard looked impatient, and hur-
ried Janet out to the street.
Damned unfortunate, if you ask
mel"
She looked at him, wide-eyed and
shocked:
"Why-why, l don't understand
what"
ooh, those l~ong-tongued nursesl
It'll be all ove the hospital before
sunrise. II isn't good policy to have
them know | have been out with a
patient"
Janet was hurt. Her lip trembled,
and she stumbled into the car. She
did not say a word. But she was
thinking hard. Was he ashamed Of
her? What was Miss Barnum to
him-maybe-?
He saw that she was quiet and
took her hand.
ooh, I'm sorry. il I've hurt you.
But we have TO be so careful. Criti-
cism and gossip can ruin a man in
my position, Miss James. I'm sorry
l blew up that way. 1t certainly is
no reflection on you. I'm proud to
be with such a charming little prin-
cess.
Janet smiled family. But the hurt
was still there. He was 50 wonder
ful-and she liked him 50 much.
Why couldn't she let the whole
world know about her date with him?
Why must it be kept quiet. and why
didn't he want her TO meet people
he knew?
She watched the light playing on
his handsome features, and her
heart was full. What was this feel
ing that so suddenly overwhelmed
her? She wanted to touch his face,
to run her fingers through his hair.
She wondered what il would be like
to have him kiss her. Her face
flushed. What a silly ideal He
would never think Of such a thing.
He was a great, w~ell-known doctor,
and she was only a little nobody.
The thought struck her cruelty. He
was amusing himself with her. And
didn't even want people to see them
together

The World and All
ADVICE TO A YOUNG MAN

A boy in a small Pennsylvania town writes me. !
shan't mention his town or his name, as such pubhca-
ton might embarrass him, although he does not say
in his letter that communications between US should
be confidential.
This boy starts out BY saying that he is an Ameri-
can boy, Of good parents, 10 years old. He then gives
some details Of personal appearance, and says he Is
rather good looking.
This is a bad start. ! don't care q hang, young man,
about your looks. Nor has the shape of your nose the
slightest bearing on the matter of your success IN
life, which is your chief problem right now. II you
haven't anything more important than your good looks
TO think about, you will never make much progress.
The very fact that you think your good looks important
enough to mention in a letter gives me a flood Of light
upon your personality. And what the light reveals
isn't SO very flattering to you.
But l have no desire TO condemn a 15-year-Old boy
for his character. His personality is still in the max
ing, and it is possible for him to make much Of him
self-nay, he can make practically anything Of himself,
If he goes to work with a will.
Now, my young correspondent confides to me that
he has been going wrong on account of bad company.
He doesn't say how wrong, but it's my suspicion that
there's nothing at all serious about his misdeeds. He
lives in a small community where not very much hap
pens, and he ~magnifes in his imagination the import
ance Of the bad deeds he thinks he has committed.
Don't worry about your past, young man. ! haven't
read your name among the condemned. Just face the
future; it's all you've got and all you need.
Ny young friend wants to go to a military aead-
envy, and asks if / will help in some way to make this
desire possible Of attainment. He suggests that / prob
ably know many men who could do something about it,
and says that If someone loans him the money neces-
sary for his education, he will surely pay il back.
In that regard, / will 60 only this far: II anyone
who is DESTROYS Of helping boys through school reads
this and writes me, l will furnish the name of the
Pennsylvania boy, and his address.
But here is my best thought for the young man in
Pennsylvania Don't wait for aid. Help yourself. There
are excellent preparatory schools in Pennsylvania.
Find out about them. Write to the principal or presi-
dent Of one or more Of them, and learn what the
chances are for working your way through. l did it.
1t never occurred to me to go and ask anybody for n
loan. Dozens of my schoolmates worked their way
through, and were none the worse for it. It's being
done by thousands Of young men right now. II YOU
can't earn enough to pay all expenses while in school.
drop out every other year and earn and save. You oct
i can be done! And don't worry about your past. The
future is what you determine to make Of it.

tages are sufficient in themselves to stand out for con-
sideration by anyone interested in n new industrial
location. The publication Of the survey, and its avail

considerable value to Sherman, and one that should
be appreciated. The folder will contribute in no small
way to the dissemination of correct information about
Sherman and it should be a factor in our growth.
Other roads are encouraging industrial growth Of
the cities on their lines, but we have seen nothing like
this. The folder is not intended to be extensive bat
sufficient to interest anyone figuring on industrial To-
cations to investigate further. It should serve that
purpose.
