Community Christmas trees
shimmering and gAttering with
many-colored lights. Dotting
the city with beauty. Spangles
on the city's skirts. Carollers-
making q duty Of it. The
tiaseled windows Of the 10-cent
stores.
The long Big Street, blazing
with lights; tawdry-but gay
and fascinating; inviting and
repellent;; noisy and furtive.
The weaving to and fro-hood-
lurns and high-hats; playsboys
girls and decorative painted
and racketeers; tired business
ladieS-all in holiday mood!
Watch your pocketbook!
Shop win dows filled with
gawdy junk. Wild-eyed last

rushing ward the stations
buried under loads of pack
ages. Salesgirls fainting on
their feet-and trying to smile.
Gayety and glamour! Trag-
edy and laughter! Merriment
and make-believe!
And over all-the STARS.
The serene, radiant winter
stars, mystic and beautiful with
the magic glow Of the winter

the secret of TT ALL. The
secret Of the magic in the air.
OF the tingling In the blood

and sends an eager little catch

How did we forget to be chill.

WHEN DID CHRISTMAS

If you and I could love al

Be tender and gay with each

with strangers-

It's 80 easy to be kind on

So easy to be gentle remem-

III could always put my
hand in yours, as I'm putting
it now, and say: my friend,
here am. And with all that
I am, I'm for you. Whoever
you are, whatever you've done,
I'm for you. And want you
to be for me. I need your love
and I want to give you mine.
We're not strangers, we two.
We're blood kin, we're all of a
piece. Let's not lose each
other again. Let's stay closer
after this, always. Help me
this year, and let me help you.

Letters to the Editor From Readers of The Times

ment and elsewhere, I take this
opportunity to present my ideas
on the subject.
In my opinion, all Of the
articles which have favored the
employment Of married women
were written by women who are
married and working or by
their husbands or someone who
benefits by their services. Any
one with q grain Of common
sense can readily understand
that when men, especially those
who in the past offered their
lives for their country, however
small o service it would seem to
some, are in need of work to
provide the necessities Of life
for their dependents. that it is
the duty Of the married women
to step aside and let these men
be given work. Everyone is en-
titled to q decent living, and
there is no valid reason why
some should get all and others
nothing.
A great percentage Of these
married women are working In
order that they can dress UP
in fine clothes, fur coats and
have expensive cars and lots Of
spending money. All this while
men with equal or superior
ability are walking the streets,
shivering from cold and hunger,
and tortured with thoughts Of
their wives and children at
home who have not even decent
food or clothing. many Of whom
have died for the lack Of same.
marvel at the audacity. Of
these cold-hearted. avariciouS
women who write these absurd
articles, and feel that they are
as worthy Of being called
"slackers" as those who evaded
service In the World War.

ONCE-OVERS
Forget Your Pride

Don't lay too much stress on
the thought that familiarity
breeds contempt"
You hold yourself aloof from
others In your department be-
cause you want to uphold what
you believe to be the dignity
Of your position"
You want to impress others
with your superiority.
But If it Is necessary for you
to make a studied attempt to
create such an impression, you
lack the essentials which your
position requires.
You are not so superior, but
a chain of circumstances has
made it seem that you are ele-
vated above the others.
In some ways you may meet
the requirements, but in other
ways you may be far inferior to
those to whom you give orders.
In breeding and general
knowledge and ability you may
be, in fact, much below several
Of your workers.
It is not much to your credit
that you hold your position be-
cause Of certain narrow ave
nues of ability you possess.
With no cultural background
and q one-track mind, your mar.
row viewpoint indicates you are
far from q well.rounded indi.
vidual.
You are not the equal Of the
well-informed and thoughtful
person In your department.

A few days ago 7 was In

beautiful theater, when q
woman entered and Of all the
other seats in the theater
picked out the one next to me.
Almost the first thing she did
upon sitting down was to let

where in the world they
caught their colds.

newer and less perfected than

words to this effect on the

movies are much improved

necessary, and also the women's

SPRING ADVENT
SPEEDS ROAD
BUILDING
By E. e. DUFFY


The United States has four
times as many automobiles as all
the rest of the world combined.
The United States has nearly
half of the worlds road mileage.
These two facts give what is
commonly known as the highway
problem.
Spring is approaching and all
over the country roadbuilders are
oiling up machinery. Many OF
these machines are TO build new
pavements; all too many will
necessarily be used for repairing
the havoc of freezing, thawing
and rain. All too many machines
will devote their energy to the
construction of roads which in q
short time win also require the
never ending attention Of patch
ing crews.
Normal Season Expected
In point of money expenditures
q normal road construction sea
son is expected. A survey shows
that State governments will make
good progress in pavement lay
ing, but the character of local
road building activities is still in
doubt. One-haH of all road
money is expended by local COM
munities, and unfortunately it
is the local communities that are
faced with the great maintenance
burdens.
Local governments in general
try to please everybody by dis
tributing road activities over the
entire local area. But, as high
way authorities have been point
ing out for years, the attempt to
eve.>'v distribute local road funds
has resulted in the widespread
construction of inferior roads

any public building is fire and
it's results.
Did you ever stop to think
what might happen should your
institution catch afre, what the
result might be?
Are you equipped with any
means of combating this dam
ger? If not, will you just stop
to consider the advantage of a
fire-extinguisher, placed in po-
sition easily accessible and con-
structed to give perfect service
at less than a moments notice.
Do you not consider anything
