Christmas Suggestion
Peace and Contentment

O0CC AA1O NOkAICAAAAA1CAAS
MAYHEM trials pressed in upon
w the household of a certain
brave woman she used to gather
her family about her and say gaily,
Now l will make some graham
gems, and open some marmalade,
and we will take little comfort"
And comfort was theirs for the
taking, and with comfort, no doubt,
came courage and strength and
some measure of wisdom for the
trials when they had to be faced
again.
Most of us spend too much. time
in taking pains and too little in
taking comfort. Martin Luther once
advised Philip Melanchthon to give
up managing the universe and let
the Almighty God do it. An old
colOred nanny, asked how she
could be SO cheerful when she had
no easy time of it, replied, "Lor.
chile, l wears the world like a
loose garment"
And SO it is suggested for Mer-
~ Christmas this year that Christ's
teaching of peace in the world was
not teaching for principalities and
powers, but for individual men and
women-each of us, personally.
my peace I give unto you," was
his personal pledge to us.
Of course we cannot put aside
the demands of life upon us nor
evade it's issues, but we can take
some time out of life for the DELHI
crate cultivation of a peace and
contentment that will increase our
efficiency, enrich our beings, and
make the whole of living more toll
erable.-Farmer's Wife.

Attended by many citizens OF

vices in local churches last night
were beautiful and impressive.
Nogales international., 1931-12-25

n UAINT and curious are
~ some Of the old monkish
stories about the first Christ
mas. One of the charming
legends relates that at the
moment of the Nativity
everything and everybody
stood still. The birds paused
for an instant in mid-air,
rivers ceased for the time to
flown short, all the move
ments Of men and things
everywhere were suspended
for a brief space. The spells
of witches and wizards sud-
denly came ineffectual-an
idea which was, no doubt, at
the root of Shakespeare's ref
erence to Christmas time as
being SO holy that then mo
fairy takes, nor witch hath
power to charm"

Arrested on Warrant Sworn
Out by Wife Charging
Drunkenness.

Charles Hunt, SO, arrested on a
drunkenness charge last night, hanged
himself in his cell at the second pre-
cinct police station early today
Hunt, who was arrested on a. war
rant sworn out by his wife, Mrs. Lula
Watson Hunt, 36 Rhode Island avenue,
was found suspended from bar across
the top of his cell by Policeman B. C..
Thompson. His shirt was looped around
his neck
Thompson was in the cell room at
the time, having .conversed with Hunt
just a few minutes before. It was
making the rounds of the cells" the
policeman said, when Hunt, who had
been raising a lot of fuss, suddenly be-
came quiet. I investigated and found
he had hanged himself"
CeIlmate Was Asleep.
Members of the fire rescue squad,
summoned by Thompson, attempted to
revive Hunt, who was pronounced dead
Harry Coakley, SIS, of $50 Fourth
street was in the cell with Hunt. He
was asleep. however. he said.
The warrant on which Hunt was ar
rested was the third obtained by Mrs.
Hunt within the last few months. About
four months ago, she said, she had him
arrested on drunkenness and abuse
charges, but he was placed on six
months probation on the former and
was given years suspended sentence
on the latter charge
Learns of Another Wife.
Shortly thereafter, Mrs. Hunt de-
clared, she learned her husband, whom
she married last February, had another
wife, Mrs. Bessie Hall Hunt of Balti-
more.
The second Mrs. Hunt communicated
with her, she said. and Hunt was ar
rested for bigamy. He was tried in
Baltimore about a month ago and was
paroled for a year, she added.
Hunts body was taken to the morgue
to await instructions OF relatives. He
is said to have brothers in North Caro-
lima and California, and police are en-
deavoring to communicate ;SAm,

DOLE SYSTEM DEBATED

G. W. q. and British 4, ms IN No
Decision Contest at Corcoran Hall.
Debaters from George Washington
University and two British universities
last night argued the merits of the dole
system in a no-decision debate in Cor
coran Hall under Craftsmanship of DR..
Cloyd Heck Marvin.
Stuart Craig of University College.
Nottingham, and John Needham of
Durham University were the English
speakers who upheld the merits of the
dole while James Ronald and Ralph
Gilby of George Washington University
opposed the system. The BritonS con-
tended that the dole is good for en-
ployer and employe because the former
would rather contribute to "unemploy-
ment insurance" of that kind and the
latter, holding himself entitled to the
aid, could retain his self-respect in
timeof stress. The Americans con-
tended that the dole system was proven
poor because it had ruined British
financially, and had crippled the party
which proposed it.

Says They Should Be Given
Right to Vote There.

Mrs. Patrick ]. Hurley. wife of the
Secretary of War. returned from the
Philippines convinced that the hard
working, capable women of the islands
ought to be voters.
1T is my opinion" Hurley

heavy silk skirt and long train, all in
tricateiy hand embroidered. Mrs.

N artesian well spouted forth
" yesterday from q depth of
"A about 80 feet below the sur
u face of the site for the new
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Building at Twelfth street and
Constitution avenue and Is flowing at
the rate of about IS gallons minute.
The we'll was drilled by the Raymond
Concrete Pile Co. as part OF plan
to pump out underground water and
thus reduce the water pressure in the
ground so as to make pile driving
easier.
When the well reached a depth of
about 80 feet the water broke through
the surface.
May Cool New Buildings.
If the flow continues, it Is likely
it may be considered as a possible
source of water to be used to cool
the new buildings. A previous well
for such a purpose which was dug to
a depth of about 10 feet in an alley
back of old No. 1 police precinct last
Summer proved a failure, with hardly
any water 1t was filled in.
Some apparatus purchased for this
well, however. still remains on the lot.
The temperature of this underground
water is much lower than that of the
and could be used to advantage to cool
air for the buildings.
Bed of Old Stream Struck.
The underground stream from which
the water comes into this new arteSian
well is believed by Neal A. Melick,
United States Government construction
engineer, to be the same source struck
when piles were driven for the new
Internal Revenue Building, located on
the east side of Twelfth street at Con-
Stitution avenue.
The bed of old Tiber Greek, or the
canal, which flowed along what was
later B street was struck by power
shovels, not far down from the surface
of the Interstate Commerce Commission
site. Shovels now digging some distance
below the level of this old canal have
struck in one place gravel pit, con-
sisting Of fairly good gravel. It is too
dirty, however, to be of any practical
use, and of insufficient amount to make
it worth while to try to salvage it for
construction purposes. The bed of
gravel now being dug out of the hole
varies in depth from eighteen inches to
about four or five feet
