melted on the pavements. On the out

there was sufficient snow to provide the
setting for an old-fashioned Christmas.
New England had plenty of snow
and some to spare as result Of the
first heavy fall of the season.
A roaring northeaster spread a blan-
ket from to 10 inches thick over
Maine and down the coast. Slippery
pavements made motoring hazardous,
and in some places highways were
blocked. Communication and railway
service were not impaired.
Numerous highway accidents hap
pened in Rhode Island as a result Of
q snowfall Of 8 inches in parts of the
State.
There was snow throughout most of
New jersey and Pennsylvania. Scran-
ton, Pa, had the heaviest snowstorm
in 20 years, with fall of more than Z
inches. State highway patrols said the

gerous.

Early Rising.
oh, the Joy Of early risingl
There Is nothing to compare
With the fine exhilaration
OF the joyous morning air.
And II you chance to oversleep.
The air still bids you thrive.
IT'S Just as fresh at nine or ten
AS twas at four or FIVE. .
Oh, the splendor Of the sunshine
As 1t rises In the east!
And the sweetness Of the clover
When the bees prepare to feast!
But there's this consolation for
The man who rises late
The sun Is just as bright at twelve
As e'er 1t was ct eight.
Now, nature has provided
BY q dispensation kind,
That any hour seems early
To the slothfully inclined.
Oh, the Joy Of early rising!
1t is all the more q boon
Because it's ready for US
Any time from five till noon.

the bituminous and anthracite coal
fields labor disputes have long been
chronic. They have entailed countless
losses In wages and taken no inconsid-
cradle toll in human Life, to say moth
ing of the inmeaSurable suffering i'm
posed upon miner folk. The consum-
ing public has paid dearly, too, for the
recurring coal crises and controversies.
1t goes without saying that the oper-
ators have not emerged unScathed,
either, from lockouts, strikes and cessa-
tions Of mining activities for one cause
or another and for protracted periods.
Around the conference table capital
and labor have now succeeded in
thrashing out their problems and
achieving q solution of them fair and
equitable to both sides. The agree
ment provides for no decrease in wages,
q modified form OF the check-off, or
collection Of union dues by the oper-
ator; payments OF miners by check
and the establishment Of a permanent
committee Of twelve men Ito consider
all questions arising under this con-
tract" These questions concern coop
Grafton, efnciency and performance Of
the contract by the two respective par
ties and will be such questions as may
be presented from time to time for dis
cussion by either group.
Modification Of the check-off-an-
cient anthracite grudge Of the miners
against their employers--has been ar
ranged for on a practical basis, 1t will
reduce operating expenses in the mine
workers organization. In return for
this accommodation and convenience
the agreement assures cooperation on
the part Of the men in promoting
greater operating efficiency without de-
creasing the miners earnings.
The men have yielded on only one
important point-that Of equalizing
work during slack times among the va
rious mines or individual companies.

markedly free of rancor and charac-
terized throughout by q spirit Of mu-

Some Answers to the Famous Query:
What Is the Matter With Kansas?

Is all the time happening In the field
Of manufacturing and Of commerce?
X
The energetic quality Of Kansas Is
seen in its taking both ends of this
dispute. Through its Governor and its
Senators 1t urges Mr.. Legge to buy
wheat and take 1t off the market for
the benefit Of suffering high-cost farm
ers everywhere, including those who
inhabit the State of Kansas in its
eastern stretches. where the tractor and
the combine" are not triumphant
Meanwhile through It's aggressive OPP
orators of those new inventions in its
western stretches 1t transforms the
virgin prairie into wheat factories and
blesses the universe with food increaS-
ingly wrung from nature. 1t then In
a supreme flight on both its eastern
and its western wings gives birth to
the comprehensive Kansan who has
written to the Federal Farm Board to
say that something absolutely must be
done about wheat because things were
had only 1000 acres of wheat, and
action must certainly be forthcoming
from the board before next year, when
he is going to have 10000 acres Of 1t.
X 4
The calculation here is that ulti-
mately Mr. Legge will succeed in per-
suading the. American wheat belt to
effect some reduction in its acreage
waist line, but that Western Kansas
will continue to bulge and that Sena-
tors Capper and Allen, with their &C
customed suavity and charm, will con-
tinue next year to represent State
which is foremost both in increasing
the world wheat supply and In sug-
costing relief for the results.

they are studying Him with new and
compelling interest.
So much of our modern literature is
critically speculative and negative. The
same is true of our modern preaching.
It is an easy matter to dismiss as I'M
worthy of consideration long recognized
ideals and practices. 1t is quite another
thing to furnish adequate substitutes.
If one authority is taken from us, an
other must be put in its place. There
are some who would dispose Of our ex-
listing system of government, but their
suggestions concerning a substitute for
what we now have are unappealing and
unsatisfying to us. When it comes to
the deep things of religion we are COM

those elements that mark Him as the

Civil Service Commission, which must

Numerous requests already have
reached the Civil Service Commission
for extension of time beyond August 20,
the date set for application Of the new
law. Each case, the commission saws.
will be decided upon its merits. But in
each case the decision will rest on
whether the retention of the employe
really Is advantageous to the Govern
ment. Despite the fact that this will
act to relegate sentimental considera-
tions, which often predominant, every
one will agree that in the final analysis
1t is wise and that the taxpayers, as
we'll as the majority Of employees, will
benefit in the end.
The primary purpose Of the retire
ment law was to cure the evil of SUPER
animation" In the Government service,
the commission explains. The ends of
the law itself would be defeated II the
applications for extensions of time were
granted merely on the fact that the
applicant, sound in mind and limb, was
capable Of carrying on few years
longer. There would naturally be great
difiiculty In deciding between the merits
and physical capabilities of thousands
of employees, and dangerous oppor-
tunities would be presented for gross
favoritism in carrying out the law.
On the other hand, scores of EN-
ployes In the service today, reaching
or having passed the retirement age,
have made this very age and expert
ence priceless assets to the Government
Otherwise capable Of continuing their
work, the law, as it formerly read,
would have cut or the Governments
nose to spite its face by making their
retirement an arbitrary proceeding.
This the amendment happily prevents.
Those whose services cannot be spared
or should not be lost will be retained,
not as . reward for faithful service
for many give faithful service-but in
recognition of the specialized type Of
work In which they were engaged, con-
tinuance Of which is Of extraordinary
value to the Federal administration.
