Old English City Gives
December Odd Welcome

December, writes Manchester
(England) Guardian columnist, is not
, the kind Of month, one would imagine.
whose entry would normally be sin
gled out for civic welcome but in
Colchester from the earliest times it
has been the custom for the town crier
to perambulate the streets at midnight
on November 80 to give an official
welcome to December in the cry
Past twelve and a fine Cor wet morn
ing.
Cold December hath come in,
And poor mems backs are clothed thin;
The trees are bare, the birds are mute;
A pot and toast would very well suit.
When Colchester, in step with the
march of progress, some time ago
abolished the office of town crier fears
were entertained that this time-worn
custom would lapse. But, though
robbed Of the honor of official recogni-
ton, the ancient ceremony still is faith
fully performed by the former town
crier, now acting, as 1t were, in a
freelance capacity. The origin of the
custom has been long forgotten, but
1t is known to be of great antiquity
and is said to be without parallel In
this country.

Died of Newspaper Die.

That the fallow deer in captivity
have some quaint tastes in the matter
of food is shown by the fact that one
of these animals in the London Zoolog-

paper, the post mortem revealing that
the stupid creature had consumed 10
pounds Of newspapers and paper

Snakes occasionally indulge In can

Most everybody believes in respect
being shown for old age. The senti-
ment is right and a useful one, al
though mainly to the extent that the
younger party recognizes the forth
tude Of the older party in adding
what he has to the foundations Of
wisdom and knowledge and to the eX-
tent that the respect renderedis also
a recognition OF the inevitability with
which the youth of one day is the
old age of tomorrow.

You should never lose an oppor-
tunity to let the outside world know
the good things about your city.
Some contend that when times are
bad every opportunity should be taken
to cease, work, cut down wages, dis
charge men and stop production, and
through such efforts bring back better
times. This, they think, is economy.
While others maintain that in order
to bring back normal times we must
redouble every energy in every direc-
ton toward getting better markets
and more money In circulation.
Spasmodic advertising does not bring
the results that can be obtained by
continuous advertising.
Telephones are nearly as necessary
to a business as advertising. The use
Of telephone can help to build bust
ness, as well as to destroy it. When
complaints are made over the tele-
phone, courteous answers will smooth
out many misunderstanding, while
discourteous answers can lose more
business than can be regained in
many a day.

BY advertising, the desire to possess
Is created in the minds of those who
have the money to buy.

horns, comets and bugles have as COM

bull or other animal. whose form was
copied and modified in bronze, wood,
brass and silver. OF all these instru-

degree retained the acoustic proper

This westward error had widened to

have vanished at London.
The main cause of the elllptlcal ro-

Other scientists in recent studies have
held the variations of the magnetic

They find the fluctuations due partly to
