CHRISTMAS IS COMING.

There are those who com plain that Christmas has been 'commercialized," whatever that may mean. But if spend ing ones money for the happi- ness of somebody else is com mercialism, then the sooner the whole world, all it's insti- tutions and all it's people be- come "commercialized" the better for all concerned.
 It is an elevating experience, this preparing for Christmas. 1t adds something to the joy of living and removes even the most callous from the dead evel of existence and lets him 1well for a little while in the rarified upper air where the 'piritual is placed above the material, where selfishness gives place to generosity and where the divine and the hum. 4n are so commingled that the ;ymbol of divinity in the per 'on of the Child in the manager md that benevolent figment of human imagination, old Santa Claus, are spoken of in the 3ame breath even by the most reverent.
 It is a time for sweet secrets, Or whisperings and consultat- ons, for yearnings for others, Or little sacrifices to the hap ,iness of those we love.

 The senses of taste and smell are so closely linked it is almost impossible to say, sometimes, which is which. Sugar and salt are exceptions. We cannot de- tect them by smelling as rule.
 Take your nose out for a walk some day. As you pass the grocery, the meat market, the hotel, the bakery and the books store, note how your memory and your sight are helped out by the sense of smell. Each place of business has it's distinctive odor. Every human has five wonderful ser wants. They are sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell. Learn to use them all with intelli- gence.

ON TAKING PROFITS.

The question of when to take profits from speculative share investments is one that often disturbs the minds of investors; ; hence the following we'll grounded advice on the sub- ject by ''The Mining World and Engineering Record" !" probably the most widely known of British mining journ- als, will be of interest to many local readers.
 Contradictory as it may seem, many losses in mining are sustained through profits not having been taken when opportunities for doing so were presented. Shares have been bought at a certain price; a substantially better quotation is subsequently, quoted, but, in waiting for one that is still higher, the profit that might have been had is missed-per- haps forever.
 "On a speculative share a profit of 25 per cent, should all things considered, be taken without hesitation. Let the buyer take his chance of the further rise that may, or may not, take place."

A MINERAL POLICY. (From Mining Truth)

Feasibility of formulating a national policy looking to the maintenance and most effect i've use of the store of minerals with which nature has endow- ed the United States is one of the questions upon which the Natural Resources Department of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States will focus attention during the coming year.
 The War Department has list ed a number of Strategic min erals"-such as manganese, nickel, mercury-necessary from the view point of nation al defence.
 Many others are equally nec- essary from the view point ot national economic develop ment.
 What can be done to assure an adequate supply of minerals upon which industry depends, what measures can be taken

Rodman Wanamaker.

A serious loss Is suffered by the
country in the death Of Rodman Wana-
maker. who passed away yesterday after
brief illness. He was comparatively a
young man, In terms of further poten-
tial usefulness. He had administered
his large inheritance Of wealth from his
father in a manner to render great
service TO the people. He not only gave
generously OF his surplus TO the support
Of charities and other benevolent works
but he contributed unstintedly TO the
development Of aviation. Therein lay
his keenest interest, beyond the con-
duct Of the great business to which he
succeeded. His contributions to aircraft
advancement were Of great value. He
promoted Byrd's flight TO the North
Pole. and his purse was always open 70
practical projects for aeronautical serv-
ice. It. was his confident expectation
that regular transoceanic service would
be established, and there was no Amer
ican more ardent than he in applause
for and encouragement Of the cross
seas flying OF last Summer. 1t Is there
fore a serious loss that such man.
endowed so richly with wealth and
blessed with broad vision and practical
conception Of the possibilities OF air
transport. should pass at the very time
when the encouragement and the as
s;stance which he could give In album

ment of horse was established as far
back as 1861, while most of them long
antedate that year. The 18th Lancers--
the lance. by the way, has just been dis
continued by Britain as an actual
weapon of war--once led by Earl Haig,
served in the American colonies as long
ago rs 1863. The 9th. 12th and 10th
regiments became lancers more than a
hundred years since and were light
dragons before that.
Could it be huSSars that are to suffer
this radical alteration? If SO, the pic
turesque and the historical will suffer
sad blow Four of those units date back
to 1905 and served with distinction as
such in the Peninsular campaign of
l8089. The 10th HuSsars has the King
as its colonel-in-chief. George ", Ed
ward VII, Prince Albert Victor and
other scions of royalty received their
military training as members of its
corps Of officers. The 4th, 9th. 11th
and 18th HuSsarS. together with the
18th Lancers. composed the famous
Light Brigade" of Balaklava fame.
Could there be view without a pang
of any of these famous units stepping
on their self-starters?
The 4th and 5th Dragon Guards and
the lst, End and 9th Dragons also
made n gallant and much more sue
cessful charge at Balaklava, and all
were ancient regiments even then. The
End, the Royal Scots Greys." per-
formed heroic exploits at Waterloo.
Many of the British cavalry units re-
joice in special titles. such as the
Queens Own," Prince Albert's own"
Queen AleXandras Own," "The En-
press of Indias" and THE Kings" The
tradition of such names dies hard.
Perhaps it Is all for the best and
some day the highly trained and metic-
ulously groomed cavalry horse will be
as out-of-date as the jousting lance or
the long bow still romantically carried
by the honor guard of bonneted GENTLE
men which escorts the King when he
crosses into Scotland. Certain 1t is
that any regiments selected to undergo

The Lame.Ducks Still Lame.

BY a vote of 209 in the affirmative
and l57 IN the negative, thus falling
thirty-six short of the necessary two
thirds. the House of Representatives
yesterday rejected the proposed consti-
tutional amendment providing change
IN the schedule Of Congress, known
popularity at the "lame-duck" amend
ment. The vote was in no sense par
tiSan. Each side of the House con-
tributed to the affirmative and to the
negative.
Three times the Senate has adopted
this resolution and sent it to the House
1or concurrence. On each occasion it
has been either ignored by that body
or, as in this latest instance. rejected.
Stiu 1t remains an issue, and probably
the next Congress will have its fourth
so at it.
The purpose of the proposed change
is to prevent legislation by Congress
that is about to quit, after the country
has elected another one. 1t is to insure
that the voice Of the people," expressed
in November. shall register in January.
two months later and not in December.
thirteen months later 1t is also to end
the anomaly Of an abbreviated session,
marked by hasty legislation and some-
times with blockades of all legislation.
There is little doubt that if the mat
ter were referred to the voters it would
be decided in favor of a change in the
system. The absurdity of continuing
the hold-over Congress in service after
the votes have been cast and counted
and registered for its successor Is widely
recognized. The injustice of permitting
legislators who have been defeated for
reelection to pursue the work of law
making for what is in legislative terms
another year after rejection is clearly
seen.
Yet there is at present not a two
thirds majority for the proposition in
the House Of Representatives. The argu-
ments Of the proponents, grounded in
logic. have not persuaded a sufficient
number to cause them to cast their
votes for this reform. There may be
some repercussion from the vote of yes
terday in the primaries and at the polls
in the course of the coming campaign.
masmuch as margin of only thirty
six votes stood between adoption and
rejection yesterday in the House it Is
safe TO say that eventually this COM
nonsense change in the Federal sched-
ule will be made.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES r. TRACEWELL.

The difficulty Of doing good deed is
not always appreciated at its full worth.
One may sympathizc with the Boy
Scouts, in their endeavor to do q good
turn to some one every day, when he
finds his own actions misinterpreted.
The trouble seems to lie in the fact
that many persons, under conditions of
modern civilization, especially in the
large cities. fall to credit good motives.
Take the sublime faith in human ma
ture recently demonstrated on public
vehicle by j. Henry Gearshift, a solid
citizen who believes in doing good.
Gcarshift Is always bucking up against
the indifference or suspicion of those
he tries to help. but that does not deter
him long, for the accent Of his soul is
upon helpfulness
Did you ever stop to think about the
accent of q soul?
The French have two very interest
ing little marks used in their language,
called the grave" and the "acute,"
which make all the difference in the
world In the pronunciation.
These accents transform the sound of
a word, make the very word itself
something different.
So the accent which human being
gives his soul transforms him, makes
him different from those who do not
have this bias. AS the accent Is good
or bad, so is the man.

thing that induced the street-car-

custom of giving up their seats to
women was the general impoliteness and
lack OF thanks received for the courtesy.
Especially were young and pretty
girls Indifferent to the plain necessity
which called for some sort of acknowl-

man alive today over the age of 80
years who cannot recall many times
when he arose to give up his seat to
some woman TO have her accept 1t
without so much as glance or a word.
