AS one of the Board of Directors
of the Children's Bureau, think it
a duty to lay this information before
our people. I wish that everyone,
who reads these lines, and who is
able to do so, would send a cOntri-
button towards the care of our lit
tie neglected ones. At this Christ
mas season, we read the Christmas
Carol, and weep over "Tiny Tim"
We chant "Oh! Little Town of
Bethlehem" and are moved by a
wave of emotion about little child
who was born 1929 years ago. 1t
was He who said "Suffer little chill
dren to come unto Me-" Let us take
a lesson from this, and try to make
their little lives happier and better.
We can do so by Strengthening the
work of the Children's Bureau. The
proportion of neglected children in
our little State is deplorable. Let us
make it stand as the "First" State
in its child welfare work.
Yours very truly,

Plant Holly Berries;
Aid In Saving Trees
(communicated)

December %, 1929
Editor of Milford Chronicle
Dear Sir
Before it is too late and the
Christmas green's are thrown away,
1 would like to remind your readers
that they save their holly berries
and try planting them this year.
The directions given from the
Christian Science Monitor were as
follows:
"You will find upon examination
that the bright red coat of the holly
berry is hard as well as glossy. This
coat should be crushed before plant
ing, and then the berries should be
planted in sand, kept thoroughly
moist by watering and left there
from December until April or May.
At the end of about six months, the
holly berries will have become
black and soft and will be ready to
be planted out of doors. By autumn,
so successful holly berry planters
tell us, holly plant should be seen
rearing its head and springing from
a seed thus treated"
This experiment might readily be
made and it would be interesting to
have those persons who have any
success give to the public their re-
suits. These little plants could be
grown for several years in flower
pots sunk in the earth. Save your
holly berries and plant them and in
this way give back to Delaware a
new crop of what she has already
so generously given us.
Very truly yours,
ELIZABETH EVERETT DU POINT
Chairman of Wild Flower Conserva-
tion, Committee of the Whining

RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION

The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has outlined a plan for the
consolidation of the railroads of the
country into 10 different systems,
with the idea of maintaining compe-
tition betweent hese lines so far as
possible. But it is one thing to
frame such a plan, and quite an
other to get it accepted.
Some of the Congressman favor
plans for compulsory consultations,
and would pass legislation requiring
these companies to form great COM
binations according to plans formed
by the government. But the govern
ment would not know what it was
getting into by such policy. II a
railroad company was ordered TO
buy some railroad that it did not
want, and pay a certain price for It,
it might claim that it had suffered a
heavy loss as the result of these
proceedings. Litigation might result
that would cost the people very
heavily, and which would have the
effect to obstruct transportation pro-
gress for many years.
The railroad companies are glad
to combine with profitable roads,
but they do not want to be driven
into buying those that are unprofit-
able, and which give no special
promise of being useful to them. So
we see the various systems compet-
ing for the profitable companies, but
averse to taking undesirable ones.
The government can not force such
situation very far.
Possibly the advantages of con-
solidating these great systems have
been over emphasized. Economies
are often created by such mergers
but there may be such thing as
getting a combination so big as to
be unwieldy, so that it would not be
run as efficiently as it was before
the deal.
These companies have become
much more prosperous during re-
cent years. They may be able to give
the public good service at a fair
price, without rushing them into
mergers which in the end might do
more harm than good.

INVENTORY TINE

Early January is a great time for
taking account of stock, and many
business concerns are struggling
with that problem. 1t is long and
headachy job for those who compile
and add up the long columns of fig
ures, and an anxious time for some.
However, most business concerns
study their costs more carefully
than they used to, so that they come
nearer knowing from month to
month how they stand. Many old
fashioned business concerns never
took an inventory, and depended
upon drawing out certain regular
salaries and dividends without
knowing whether they were earned
or not. Modern business believes in
keeping a complete check on all op-
erations, so losses are detected be-
fore they become serious, and SEEM

KEEPING A DIARY FOR 19sO9

Judging from the number of diar-
les seen on the shelves of stores,
many people must keep some daily
record of their affairs. Probably
they are not the long and intimate
personal histories that people used
to write, when they recorded all
their heart throbs and analyzed
their feelings with scrupulous exact
ness.
In those days people seemed to
find wonderful consolation in re-
cording their troubles, and the
worse time they had, the more sat
isfaction they got in writing about
them.
A brief record of family and per-
sonal affairs, however, is a fine fac
tor in home life, and it answers
questions and settles disputes and
recalls happy hours. Unless some
thing of that kind is done, the past
slips away into oblivion with too
little trace.
