Washable Accessories

The vogue for white purses and
gloves in matching fabrics is as
prevalent this year as it was last
season. If you get a white linen
purse, be sure that it has a remov-
able washable slip cover. White
organdy cuffs on dark fabric should
be removable and washable, toe.

are ABOUT IedOy
to give up living together.
He used to make good money
before the depression and he had
me spoiled. On the other hand l
was the same to him. The de-
preston has changed us both. I
have not the health that used to
have. We don't have money to go
places like We used to or wear
the clothes. I always was proud,
and I would rather stay home
than go any place looking like
heck.
Now I thought that if 1 had a
baby, something to take up my
time, We both would get along
better. I feel like I would have
something to live for. I can
never have one of my own. Is
there any way you could help me
adopt one? Maybe some young
girl would like to give hers away.
LIKE TO BE A MOTHER.
AnSwer-The last thing in the
world 1 would recommend for a de-
preston ridden home where love is
beginning to limp, would be a baby.
To place more responsibility on a
man who isn't adequate to the ones
he already has is not the part Of
wisdom.
The hunger for motherhood is
very strong in most women. Where
this is true there can be no doubt
that a baby is a profound satisfac-
ton. But what most people over
look is that a baby is also a dis
turbance. Any one who has the
sole care Of a small child is bound
10 suffer from fatigue at times, and
rebel against the close confinement.
It is characteristic that at this
point the overburdened mother
wishes the father to share her re-
spOnsibIlity, which he seldom Will
do. particularly as he is not as en-
thusiaStic about the child as she is.
This situation often creates a con-
flict where none existed before. and
where it is added TO other conflicts
the marriage Will collapse.
It is a sweet. sentimental notion
that a baby in the home brings
the parents closer together. but it
simply IS not true. unless the bond
is very strong between them at the
start. It IS my belief that a child
in your home would only be another
bone Of contention, another excuse
to give vent 10 deeper diSsatisfac-
tons.
No one has the right to bring
q child into an unhappy domestic
situation. Even where there is no
marked quarreling. the child is ex-
oepionally sensitive to a condition
Of armed neutrality. Unhappy is
the child whose first impressions Of
marriage are received in a home
where there is no harmony.

We got out Of high school, I wanted

Now he has a job and a car and

or other I don't care TO now. I
still think love him, but not as
much as I did. The other night
We went TO a dance and he drank

BIBLE SCENES INSPIRED THE
WRITING OF CAROLS

The influence of the constant Wis
ualization of Bible scenes, of which
people were accustomed to think
wildly, inspired the writing OF
Christmas carols. They began to
make their appearance about the
year 400. This was new music
in what was still almost a new
language, of minstrel, literary and
folk poetry The ballad was one of
the forms in which many of the
traditional carols were cast.
The Christmas tree had its origin
in Germany and is of comparatively
recent adoption in other countries.
1t is regarded by many as one of the
number of pagan survivals which
have been engrafted upon Christi
anity and Christian festivities. The
: worshipers of the Morse gods, before
the adoption of Christianity, had a
place in their scheme of things for
Iggdrasil, the tree of the world,
which, with ltS roots ana Dranches,
was believed to bind together heav-
en-, earth and hell. The Christmas
tree is believed to be related to this
tree in its origin. 1t became asso-
ciated with the Christian holiday at
some unknown time in the Middle
Ages.
In the United States the Christmas
tree custom is probably less than a
century old. Up until the time of
the Civil War it had not yet become
a popular custom, although it was
observed by large number of The
German Immigrants. Since then it
has been generally adopted in this
country and Canada, and is familiar
in England and other countries.

UNCLE SAM HARVESTS CHRIST
MAS TREE CROP

One crop which was not hurt by
the drought this summer is Christ
mas trees. Nearly 10000 small
trees from the national forests are
now on their way to market to add
their share to the enjoyment of the
holiday season.
Rightly selected from the forest
the Christmas tree benefits the for
est as we'll as the recipient of Yule-
tide cheer. The United States For
est Service has sent $4,000 tags to
the national forests to be attached to
Christmas trees cut for the coming
holidays. Every Christmas tree cut
from the national forests carries a
special message of good will toward
the forest that produced it, the tag
reading:
''This tree brings a Christmas
message from the great outdoors.
It's cutting was not destructive but
gave needed room for neighboring
trees to grow faster and better. 1t
was cut under the supervision of the
United States Forest Service from
crowded stand on the national
Forest
The legend also states that pro-
lection of the forest stands from
fires has made it possible for the
little tree to decorate the home on
Christmas Day.
The national forest crop of Christ
mas trees is only a fraction of the
total requirments of the United
States which amounts to something
like 100000 trees annually.

CHRIS 7 NJ A S

Christmas, that joyous period of
the year when every face radiates the
spirit of good will, is close upon us
again, People are joyous at this
holiday season because of the friend
ly. unselfish feeling that prevails
forgetting, for a time, at least, the
perplexities, the selfishness, that
hedges us about so much of the time.
Certainly every human being has
some reason for happiness at this
festive season, if it is only gratitude
for the kind word and cheerful
greeting of friend.
Christmas brings to us the con-
seriousness that life has something
more than selfishness in it. 1t ele-
Yates us to higher level. 1t typi-
fies good will, prompts kindly
thoughts of others, the most COM
mon expression of which is in some
form of gift. And the remembrance
need not be expensive to be appre-
ciated.
If the influence of Christmas
could be taken with us more
throughout the year, how much
happier all would be, as the key to
happiness is in making some one else
happy. If we want gladness and
sunshine, help give some of it to
others.
This is the real Christmas spirit
a spirit that is made up of kindly
thoughts and deeds, of hallowed
memories, and of good will to all.

MORE THAN 100000 FARMS TO
BE CANVASSED IN CENSUS

In 1850 when the first count was
made of the number of farms in the
United States there were approx
mately one and one-half million
with farm property valued at four
billion dollars. The last Census of
Agriculture taken in 1880 shows
more than six million farms with a
property value of more than fifty
seven billion dollars.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
task now being undertaken by the
Bureau of the Census in connection
with the forthcoming farm census
which will begin January 2, 1885,
may be cleaned from calculations
based upon the six million farms re-
corded in 1880. These farms total
ed nearly a billion acres and crops
were harvested from approximately
359, 100000 acres. The farm popu-
lation was almost 100000, or
PAS per cent of the United States
total. The broader classification,
rural population, which is the popu-
lation residing in places of less than
$500 and on farms, was, at that
time almost 54,0OO,00O, or about
43.8 per cent of the country's popu-
lation.
This census is one of the activities
undertaken by the Government
primarily for the benefit of the fam
err, and all farmers are urged 10 CO.
operate by writing to the Bureau of
the Census, Washington, d. c., for d
sample copy of the schedule. by
procuring a copy they will be able
to study the questions and answer
them accurately when the enumera-
tor calls in January.

SILENT NIGHT"

OF all the Christmas carols the
Christian world will sing the best
known and undoubtedly the best-be-
loved is that one which we know in
English as Silent Night, Holy
Night" 1t is by no means she old
est of the Christmas carols, for 1t
was written only lis years ago by
Franz Gruber, organist in the Aus
trian village of Oberndorf, with josef
Mohr, pastor of the parish church,
contributing the words which begin,
in their original German, "Stille
Nacht. Heilige Nacht."
For many years the song was
known throughout Europe simply as
folk song from the Zilertal," a
district in Austria. This was partly
because an organ builder from the
Zillertal had come to repair the OBJ
erndorf church organ on that Christ
mas Eve in 1918 when Gruber and
Mohr were rehearsing their new
song. Back among his native
mountains the organ builder sang
the carol which the Strasser sisters,
also natives of the Zillertal and
widely noted singers of folk songs,
promptly added 20 their concert
programs.
Not until 1854 was an inquiry
made into the origin of the Christmas
song, which was popularity attribut-
ed to Michael Haydn. In that year
court musicians at Berlin sent TO st.
Peters in Salzburg to ask if manu-
script of the song might be there.
By chance the youngest son of Franz
Gruber was a choir boy in st.
Peters. He told the story of the
songs composition, the request from
Berlin was forwarded to the senior
Gruber and statement, Authentic
occasion for the writing of the
Christmas song, "Silent Night. Holy
Night" was drawn up by the COM
poser
The Teutonic race has given to
the observance of the great Christian |
festival as we know it the tree (also
celebrated in a German Christmas
song, 20 Tannenbaum") the legend
of Kris Kringle and many other
charming sentiments. But none en-
bodies the Christmas story so utterly
and with such sweet tenderness as

SEE BEST CHRIST
MAS In FOUR YEARS

On the basis of official and private
figures available Government experts
predict that the country will this
year enjoy the best Christmas trade
in four years. The public has more
money and is in better mood to
spend.
Hence the experts say that cash
registers will jingle as they haven't
done since 1880.
In making their predictions of
greater spending this Christmas Off
Gals relied on Federal statistics
showing increased farm income,
higher factory pay rolls, increased
Government emergency expenditures
for job-creating projects, more stable
bank conditions, and on what they
interpreted as more confident OPP
timistic frame of mind on the part
of the people.
The statisticians checked closely
estimates that farm income this year
will be nearly billion dollars
greater than 1888, rising from $5,-
051, 100000 to about $6,000,000,-
600. October income was figured at
S736,OO0,0OO against 100000
a year ago.
A good part of this rural wealth
is expected to go directly into the
retail trade.
officials believe it will swell the
buying looked for from the $780,
900, 900 to 1870, 100000 now being
distributed by banks throughout the
country to their Christmas club
depositors.

DRIVE RECKLESS MOTORISTS
OFF THE HIGHWAY

An important change in motor We
hicle law, under which reckless and
incompetent motorists can be driven
off the highway, is advocated by the
keystone Automobile Club of Mary
land in response to public demand
for effective action in accident pre-
vention
1t is the proposal to require, un-
der severe penalty, the reporting of
every accident, no matter how
trivial, to the end that motor vehicle
authorities can act promptly and ef-
fectively in removing incompetents
and accident prone" drivers from
the list of licensed operators
In a statement addressed to it's
membership, in the December issue
of keystone Motorist, the Club asks
"whole-hearted support of our
championship of what seems to be
most logical and necessary move to
curtail the rising tide of automobile
accidents
Pointing out that Pennsylvania
and New Jersey law sets an arbitrary
property damage minimum of $50
and $25, respectively, under which
accidents need not be reported, and
that Maryland does not even require
the reporting of accidents unless in
jury or death is involved, the state
ment says:
An analysis of the how, why and
when of accidents Immediately re-
veals how the restrictions of existing
motor vehicle law make it next to
impossible TO wage even reasonably
effective drive against incompetent
drivers.
''The main significance in any
drivers record lies not in the grav-
ity of the accident or accidents, but
the frequency of those accidents. In
very many cases only a hairs
breadth, split second separates the
accident involving scratched fend-
er from one leaving death in its
wake.
1--WE need a system which, In eff
feet, will bar the unfit from the road
forever and day-a system under
which the accident record of every
licensed driver can be readily con-
suited. We need system which
makes it obligatory upon the State
to revoke the license of any driver
whose accident record proves his
gross incompetency, and sufficient
teeth in the law to make it extreme
ly unlikely for anyone whose license
has been revoked to again drive upon
the highways"

DIR GOVERNMENT

The ordinary citizen may not be in
accord with his Government, with
what is being done governmentally
by those whom we have placed in
authority over us, but what is he go
ing to do about it? For the time
being, the men we have voted into
Office are the Government; they
make the laws and enforce them. He
may rebel mentally, but he must
obey physically.
We, as Messrs. Ordinary Citizens,
may not approve of state-owned
power plants, government homestead
enterprises, forest conservation
schemes, and a dozen other plans to
bring about the more abundant
life; nor we may not contemplate
with complacence the resultant I'M
balanced budget and mounting pub
lie debt, but these things are not
brain children in the gestative state,
they are now actualities for better or
for worse.
Many believe the time for argu-
ment and discussion is over; these
new schemes, call them what yon
will, are with us and part of us as
Nation; they are accomplished
facts. AS citizens we must go for
ward, and as we march shoulder to
shoulder toward victory or defeat,
these stepchildren of what some
think is disordered national mind,
must go with us.-Ex.

HOG CHOLERA SHOWS STEADY
DECLINE THROUGHOUT STATE

Outbreaks of hog cholera in Mary
land continue on the decline and
during the month of November only
60 cases were reported-15 less than
the average for that month during
the last Ia years, according to Dr.
Mark Welsh, inspector in charge of
cholera eradication in this state.
Nineteen of the outbreaks occurred
on farms where hogs are bred and
raised as a business while "A were
reported on backyard properties,
where the animals were kept in a
small dry lot or pen.
Washington county, with IL cases
lead the II counties in the state re-
porting outbreaks, says Dr. Welsh
Charles county was second with 10
cases; st. Mary's county had cases;
Wicomico and Prince Georges coun-
ties had outbreaks each; Worces-
ter county reported A. Dorchester,
Frederick and Talbot counties had 8
each; Carroll county had 2; and
Allegany, Anne Arundel, Calvert,
Caroline, Kent, Montgomery and
Somerset counties each reported
case.
Fifty-three of the outbreaks were
listed as primary or new centers of
infection, were secondary, or due
to spread of the disease and were
of unknown origin, according 20 the
reports.
Forty-one of the cases were caused
by feeding cholera infected pork; 6
by loose, sick animals spreading in
lection; 6 by feeding city garbage;
8 because of the purchase of new
stock that became sick shortly after
arrival; l to feeding butchers offal;
l to pigs sharing meat purchased
for dogs; and TO break" of the
serum-virus treatment. Four cases
were of unknown origin.
Most of the cases, DR.. Welsh
emphasizes, are caused from feeding
infected pork scraps A little care
in this regard would prevent the
bulk of outbreaks and save much
worry as to next winters meat
supply
