CHRISTMAS DAY

Although the birth of Christ is the event which is
supposed to be celebrated Christmas, are more
and more inclined recent writer suggests to cele-
brate Santa Claus on December 25 Certainly in the
minds of most persons the giving and receiving gifts
holds larger place than the holy event which the day

Christmas customs and symbolism are drawn from
many sources some of them Of pagan origin The date
December 25 approximates that of certain ancient
festivals, which observed long before the Chris
tian era such as the Roman Saturnalia the Scandi-
navn Yule the winter festival of the heather BritOns
and later the Roman festival of the sun god Mithra.
This date not incorporated in the Christian cal

The sending of Christmas gifts may be traced back
to ancient Rome This custom is by no means univer-

CHRISTMAS
"INSIDE"
By GERTRUDE H. WALTON
TBEETEuTTTTTEETE

THE large house interested
Celia. There seemed little
l. life within, no Christmas dec
orations in the windows as in many
dwellings on the streets. Tonight,
dim light in the back. with the
early Christmas eve twilight,
heightened its drabness.
Zone may be excused for inquis-
itiveness, tonight" Celia led Ann,
her roommate onto the porch
''This house, outside, looks gloomy
but no more than is my heart. I'll
admit being disappointed because
of no opening, after our singing
addition over woo this afternoon.
Celia, slipping to side door, with
Ann, began singing Christmas car
OILS. A door opened and a dignified
woman said:
Come inside, girls, and sing.
I'm Mrs. Ashby. There's a piano,
not opened since Beulah-'
We'll sing if you join u.s." Celia
answered.
After singing, Celia told of ambi-
tions for her voice and of the after
moons disappointment.
Girls, you have given me a
happy pre-Christmas eve and birth
day, as well. Many of my club
members have birthdays at this
season. Please come again, tonight,
if you wish. You're across the
street."
Celia and Ann, at home, were
eating, when, answering the tele-
phone, Celia swung Ann around
into dizziness.
Were to report for a program
tomorrow afternoon over woo!
Someone not filing engagement!
Well practice on Mrs Ashby's pi-
ano. Let's decorate her windows
with these wreaths," Celia cried.
During the Christmas day pro-
gram, dedicated to those with
birthdays of the season, when Mrs.
Ashby's name was mentioned, the
announcer said:
Mrs. Ashby will enjoy this pro-
gram. She called us last evening
asked that you girls sing for
birthdays of her club members
other members asked for you, too.
Mrs. Ashby travels, gives of time
and money to a shut-in club Of
which she is national president.
Her daughter is the wife of famed
doctor in India. You probably will
have a permanent program for
birthdays of listeners"
Maybe that house interested me
because, even through boards and
stone, human kindness, character,
oozes through. Her windows look
pretty, though, with our wreaths,"
Celia told Ann.

Double Taxes

The overlapping of taxes and the taxing power by
the state governments and the Federal government
seems to be bringing about situation which calls
for correction and many readjustments. Some way
should be found to place definite limits upon the
fields of taxation occupied by the national govern
ment and the state governments respectively
The Treasury Department has recently made re-
port on double taxation from 1880 to 1885 There
are six fields Of taxation in which both the Federal
and the state governments operate These are inherit
ance taxes individual income taxes, corporation tax
es gasoline taxes, liquor taxes and tobacco taxes
While the Federal government took S227l 44OOOO IN
taxes from these sources in the fiscal year of 1885,
the states also collected over 81 1OO0OOOOO from the
same sources.
For all but one of these taxes the Federal govern
ment takes more than do all of the states which levy
them. The gasoline tax, however, yielded nearly
$600OO0OOO to the states and only little over $780,
100000 to the Federal government. Not all of the
states imposed inheritance and income taxes, but so
long as these fields left open to the states, the
temptation is strong to take advantage Of these op
portunities to increase the state revenue.
The large source of tax income of the states and
their subdivisions is the tax real estate. This is
field which the Federal government does not touch.
would seem reasonable for the Federal government
to keep out of the gasoline tax business and for the
states to leave income and inheritance taxes and to-
bacco taxes to Uncle Sam There certainly should be
some way found to set up sharp line of demarcation
between the taxing authority of the states and that of
the central government.

NEW YORK, August 15.-A ragged
rally was the best the stock market
could achieve today as liquidation
ebbed at the week end.
Gains of fractions to more than a
point predominated among the most
active issues at the close of dull
season, but the list generally made
virtually no headway on the upside.
The Associated Press average for so
stocks finished unchanged at 679, with
small advance in the utility group
offsetting dip in the rails. Turnover
dropped to 66,320 shares, the smallest
for a Saturday session since June 27,
and compared with 865 ,27O a week ago
Caution Apparent.
With latest industrial barometers
Showing tendency to taper after the
robust Midsummer performance of
business, more cautious attitude per-
vaded financial quarters. However.
the run of financial comment still
breathed optimism for the Autumn
and longer-term outlook.
Copper shares and an assortment of
Industrial specialties in the business
news spotlight were favored on the
rallying tendencies.
But it was difficult to whip up en-
thuSiaSm considering the usual week
end urge to take things easy and the
desire of many traders to wait for a
clearer view of Autumn prospects.
Metals Watched.
The undertone of strength in
markets for industrial metals, notably
copper and steel scrap. focused specu-
lative interest on those groups. Some
of the textiles, especially in the rayon
industry, also attracted fair demand
on the rally in view of latest reports
of forward wholesale buying and the
firm price structure.
