driving ON the Car Tracks.

The peoples counsel of the Public
Utilities Commission and the tTaff1c
director appear to be slightly at odds
regarding the rather important ques-
ton Of whether motorists should be
permitted to drive on car tracks to the
left OF safety zones. Mr.. Keech AYERS
that it is all wrong and cites the rule
which says that motorists must keep
rs near the right-hand curb as prac-
ticable and that disobeying a drive
to the right" sign is a violation OF the
regulations. Mr.. Harland answers that
E is naturally impossible to keep close
30 the curb in congested traffic, that
Dome of the safety zones do not have
Hdrive to the right" signs and that
Atilizing the car tracks in many cases
opens up an extra lane Of travel and
materially speeds up traf1c.
While The Star must agree with Mr.
Keech on one phase Of the controversy,
that ofilcial signs must be obeyed, 1t
must side with Mr.. Harland enthusiastic
cally In his contentious and suggest to
him that little paint judiciously used
on the drive to the right signs could
render them null, void and harmless
and If the traffic director were SO
minded, the artists" Of the Police
Department could use the blank spaces
thus created for pictures Of the Capt.

structure of national or civic interest

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHnANDER JOHNSON.

No Difference.
When women first began to vote,
We thought time the world would note
OF sweet and placid glee.
We thought that they would just crochei
A ticket on election day
AS dainty as could be.
We thought the manners Of mankind
Would all be gentle and refined,
And nothing would persuade
A campaign crowd to drink or smoke
Or. maybe, tell curious joke
In language ready made.
But politics still means fight,
Occasionally impolite-
1t sets you in a whirl.
You learn, while studying its plan,
Quite boisterous Is your old man,
And so is your old girl!

DO SOME LOOKING

Only two days more to the big day
and all that it means to young and old.
In these last few hours of the Christ
mas rush it is fitting to remind those OF
US who have little more than others,
that there are many needy persoy right
here in Ell Centre. whose Christmas will
be bleak affair, if they are not cared
for by someone.
There are a number of organizations
which annually give Christmas cheer to
needy families. Money or merchandise
contributed to any of them will be put to
good use They are reputable organiza-
tions, composed of men and women
standing high in the community and in
spired by the highest ideals in giving aid
to the unfortunate.
Work of this sort can always use as

ing to help make some other persons
Christmas a little brighter.
There is still time to give. A check or
an order for merchandise will do much.

line, and YOU feel you can spare some
thing-no matter how small-take care
of it as soon as YOU finish reading this,

Some criticism has been heard rela-
tive to the bread line established on Main
street by Otto Christofferson and jim
nv Murphy, and at the time it was es-
tablished, we wondered little, if it were
the wise thing to do
A couple Of visits down there last week
convinced us that wise or not, it is a
splendid act of real charity and is de-
serving of support.
These two men, without any fuss or
feathers, are doing great deal to relieve
hunger among needy workmen. They
nave asked nothing of anybody and their
plan operates so simply that it has drawn
support from a number of local business
men.

and are fed at counter seating about
dozen men. If a fellow can eat a second
helping, he gets it. A few have had
thirds. There are no questions asked,
no red tape to be unwound. The hungry
eat and go their way. If they say
thanks. and very few do not that is the
reward of the men who are carrying out
the work. II thanks are forgotten, moth
ing is said.
Otto and Jimmy have refused all sug
gestions that funds be raised to help
them continue their work. II anyone
feels like donating, he is told to leave an
order some place for beans, meat or
bread, to be delivered. IN this way few
have been able to help.
Otto and Jimmy cook the food in their

distributing point just east of Fifth

observing them while they eat, have con-
vinced US that the right sort are being
reached. Occasionally a professional
"moocher7 gets in. He is not turned
down either. But the rank and file of the
men in line would work if they could get
it and they are hungry. They wouldn't
stand in a cold line for all hour or more

time in making away with what is placed

man.
Away to the woods hoped Uncle
Wiggily. He knew the place where
the dark, green trees grew-trees
that never lost their leaves in even
the coldest winter, for their leaves
were thick. like his own fur. In
fact. they were fir trees, but the
word was spelled with an I instead
of a U letter.
j Here is a fine tree!" said Uncle
Wiggily to himself, and. hopping to
one with thick. green branches and
fine. slender top, the rabbit gentle
man began to gnaw and bite and
nibble with his strong teeth until he
had cut quite around the tree and
it fell over on the snow. lying down
as if going to sleep.
But you'll wake up when l set
YOU in tub and put red. blue and

Wiggily to his Christmas tree. And
you will look wonderful when Nurse

Uncle Wiggily felt so happy ne

rope to the lower end of the tree and
began to drag it along over the snow
as if it were a sled The rabbit S
pink nose twinkled just like the
silver star that would soon be put
on top of the tree.
At last Uncle Wiggily reached his
bungalow. He left the tree on the
snow a little way from the back
, door. for he wanted to make sure
none of the bunny children had un-
expectedly come home. He did not
want them to see the tree until 1t
was lighted and decorated on
Christmas morn.
And as Uncle Wiggily hoped
softly past the top of his tree, which
was lying flat on the snow, all OF a
sudden he saw the middle branches
move. They jiggled around a bit.
Il wonder what did that?" Whis-
pered Mr.. Longears. 1T could not
have been the wind, for the wind
isn't blowing. There must be some
thing hidden in my Christmas tree.
Oh, perhaps it's one of the Bad
Chaps!"
Uncle Wiggily took a careful look
among the green branches Then
he smiled and said: "Oh, you cute
little darling| SO from this we know
it could not have been Bad Chap.
