Listen, World!
BY Elsie Robinson.

A PRAYER.
The way is hard-and / am
torn by doubt.
Confused by theories, dulled by
the long grind
Of work and worry. loneliness
and grief.
God. can You hear above this
dust and din?
They say You once were man
and knew mans pain
Can you remember that far
agony.
And, out Of pity, grant this
prayer to me?
Give me a quiet spot within my
soul
Like a green refuge in the for.
est's heart,
Walled round with silence, dim
and sweet and COOL
Where I can hide myself, some
times, away
From all the heat and clamor
of my life.
A quiet spot, where memories
may come
AS dappled deer come down the
forest aisles.
Drifting like shadows through
the sun-shot gloom,
So may my memories pass,
without a pang,
Leaving me quickened by their
loyeliness.
Then. as a weary traveller slips
within
The still, green crystal Of some
forest pool,
So may I slip within pool Of
peace
And cleanse myself of all the
dust of strife
And hate and greed and prick
ling conceit.
And then lie still-forgetful for
q while
OF my sick Self. and all It's
noisy doubt.

Political realiStS sometimes scoff at
the practical value of such interna-
tional amenities as visits from mon
archs or merely eminent citizens to
foreign countries. Yet there Is no doubt
that far-reaching results sometimes flow
from these pleasantries. The British
Empire long has considered the Prince

dorial envoy. His smile and unaffected
bearing are now and then said to be

White Hussars who, taken in ambush,

afternoon. The decision 70 parnoit thu
employees to do their ThAnksrivinr
shopping on Wednesday Afternoon and
to close the departments at 1 o'clock
was reached in the state Department
first. Other Government departments
followed with similar announcements
But in one department ct least. and In
q number Of ofices where the work was
pressing, no holiday was permitted.
This naturally has given rise to some
resentment among the employees who
had to work while their brethren
across the hall went free. The expected
complaints regarding discrimination
have naturally followed.
During the exceptionally hot days of
last Summer the same lack of uni
formity prevailed. Some of the ofices
were too hot it was felt, to force the
employees to remain. But in others.
just as hot, the employees did remain.
When half-holidays, such as on
Christmas eve, have been announced
through . presidential proclamation, it
has been customary to leave to the
discretion Of heads Of bureaus ana
departments the decision a. to which
employees can be spared. There are al
ways some of them who cannot be spared.
And it must Be conceded that the head
of q department Is the best Judge of that.
The difficulties arise when q special
grant of time OF depends upon iridivid-
ual and sometimes whimsical juda-
ment as to It's Advisability. In the
morning one cabinet oficer, who per-
sonally detests snow, will look out Of
the window ct heavy drifts and decide
that he can best serve humanity by per-
mitting the employees in his department
to go home Immediately. But another
cabinet officer, who personally finds ex-
quisite pleasure in snow, will regard the
same drifts with loving eye and call
upon his workers to redouble their eff
forts until 4:SO, when 4 good time will
be had by an. The employees who have
been kept over can find some comfort
in the fact that the next change Of ad-
ministrations may bring new boss who
deteStS snow In Winter or heat IN Sum-
mer. And, after ali, that u about the
only way that the problem Of obtaining
desirable uniformity in the matter Of
unexpected haH-holidays ever viii Be
settled, unless the President himself
chooses to assume the role of holiday
dictator, and that he will not DO.
But on such occasions as Christmas
eve there should be uniformity. Let

Dearer Dollars Mean
Burden for Debtors
from the New York World,

rum tne new YORK World.
While much has been written about
tne Dement'S which wage earners and
salar1ed workers are deriving from the
increased purchasing power of the
oollar-provided, Of course, that their
incomes have not been impaired-the
effects of this enhanced commodity
value Of the dollar on those who chance
to be In debt seem to have been quite
generally ignored. In any period OF
falling prices the debtor, whether an
individual, Q corporation or . govern
ment, 1ncurS q new burden. The dol
lars needed to pay interest or principal
become harder to obtain and have q
greater value In relation to goods than
they had when the debt was incurred.
The purchasing power of the dollar
measured in terms Of wholesale prices,
Is shown by the index number Of the
Department Of Labor to have risen 21
per cent since 1926. This means that
the debtor who borrowed 81 in 1926
must pay back the equivalent of $12l
in 1880. When we apply this to the
case Of the farmers, who are largely
. debtor class, we may discover an
added reason for the depression Of
agriculture.
