There Is Still Time

IN HERE is still time for you to share your Christmas
l. happiness with others
And when you share it you increase your own JOY
The Washington Times Good Fellows are on the job
again this year.
They will carry pleasure into the homes of many who
otherwise would find the Yule barren.
JOIN THIS GROUP OF DISPENSERS OF GOOD
CHEER AND YOU WILL FIND YOUR OWN CHRIST
MAS A MERRIER ONE BECAUSE OF 1T.
The Good Fellows Club, probably the Oldest newspaper
Christmas effort in Washington reduces Christmas Civ
ing to the simplest and most practical form.
Prospective Good Fellows simply communicate with
the Good Fellow Editor at The Times office, telling
what they would like to do in the way cheering others
on Christmas.
You best figure out your capabilities; whether
YOU can take care of all the needs of distressed family
whether you can furnish toys for needy chdren whether
you can supply Christmas dinner whether you can give
clothing or any of the other nnumerable things that
fortunates need for the holidays.
THEN THE GOOD FELLOW EDITOR TURNS
OVER TO YOU JUST THE TYPE OF FAMILY YOU
WANT TO HANDLE; TELLS YOU ITS NEEDS, AND
LEAVES 1T UP TO YOU TO MEET THE SITUATION
IN YOUR OWN WAY.
More Good Fellows are needed for this year, and the
time in which to enlist them is short
Notify the Good Fellow Editor at once that you will
help make this joyous Yue for someone el lse.

yourself? Then listen
First, what IS personality?
NOT a parlor game. NOT a psychic
knicknack-like a caul or the sew
enth sense. It's merely the meas
ure of something you have, or
haven't-"the extent of your abil-
ity to interest and influence other
people"
Hitherto the popular conception
of personality has been all wrong.
We've thought of it as a PER
| SONAL ASSET rather than a So
CIAL SERVICE. Then wondered,
wretchedly, why we never clicked
! with the world.
Plain enough reaSon-generally
we weren't trying to click. We
were sinly trying to get the world
to notice us! Which was an en-
tirely different matter.
THE REMEDY
I'm so f-conSciouS!" moan
the social flops, never dreaming
that thereby they are diagnosing
their own disease, naming their
own remedy. Self-conSciouS? But
what is self-consciouSness? Con-
sciousnesS of SELF. But if you're
conscious of YOURSELF, you
can't be conscious of the Other Eel
low. Whereupon the Other Fellow
naturally fails to find any interest
in you!
Personality is the extent of
your ability to interest and in
fluence other people" How does
one acquire that ability? AS one
acquires anything else-by going
after it. Studying the Other
Fellow-Watching what amuSeS
him, comforts and interests him.
Forgetting your Sell.
"He who would save his life
must lose it"-remember? Want
to be liked? Then LIKE. Want
to be sought? Then SEEK. Want
to get? Then GIVE. There
words of one Syllable-iS the
maklngS of personality and the
secret of social success or failure.
However, just as you suspected,
Nellie, there is a trick to it. For,
when you start doing a job on
yourself, you may know when to
stop. Then again, you may NOT!
Curious? Then drop around
this same time tomorrow and
read about whether Brains are
or AREN'T.

AMONG CONGRESS VETERANS

sentative Andrew Jackson Montague
of Richmond, Va. This session marks
the beginning of his twenty-fifth year
in Congress. In the November cleo
tions he achieved the largest major
ity in his career. Today he serves
as the ranking Democrat on the House
Judiciary Committee.
Montague's career in public life is
Just one distinguished accomplishment
on the heels of another. For four
years he was attorney general for
Virginia and for like period was
Governor. Not content with these
honors, he also served as dean Of the
Law School at Richmond College.
Only one thing has stood in the way
OF further honors-a frail physique
with frequent intervals Of i'll health.
The Representative is Of average
height and slight build. His hair.
once thick and flaming red. Is thin
ming fast and turning gray.
From farm boy to Representative
is the familiar Horatio Alger-like
N0ACC1 Va GSSPACoChboAAfC SolA
son of Milledgeville, Ga. Ever hear Of
Milledgeville? Probably not, if you're
Yankee. Nevertheless, little Mill
edgeville, mere spot on the map to-
day, was the capital city of Georgia
during the Civil War. 1t is in the heart
of the important cotton section.
Since December, 1881, Vinson has
been chairman of the Naval Affairs
Committee, major committee. AL
though not especially fond Of public
speaking, he can be q spell-binder
when the occasion demands. His fund
of general and specific information is
remarkable.
The Georgian is q 6-footer and
weighs about 100 pounds. He was
unopposed during the November cleo
tons.

Well, there are some good books in
1t. While it Is fortunately not neceK-
sary, in q publication designed for
mixed reading, to indulge in the red
blooded. hard-punching watch-this-
man-he's-going-fa far style Of criticism
which Mr. Rascoe naturally employees
for q public exclusively masculine, it
is quite possible to agree with him on
number Of his selections. His list
is perhaps as satisfactory rs any that
has yet appeared. Lists at best are
pretty sad. They are only opinions.
And there are few books about which,
as Sir Roger remarked, there is not
q good deal to be said on both sides.
All too few, in fact.
TORONET, the new magazine which
made its bow last month, is es-
sentially an Esquire in miniature. 1t
costs IS cents less, and whether the
difference in price is compensation
for loss of Esquire's handsome large
ness must be left to readers. Unques-
tionably a magazine which devotes
much space to pictorial effects is
handicapped by a page Of pamphlet
smallness, which is Coronet's general
outline.
But, although the effectiveness Of
its pictures is cut down, the merit Of
the reading material is comparable TO
that offered in the older periodical. 1t
is the same cheerful medley of fiction.
satire, current affairs and criticism.
Being, unlike Esquire, unsure of its
public, it seems to exert itself even
more to publish pieces of novelty and
picturesqueness. One prophesies that
it will 60 very well.

RECOMMENDATION breaks down into q
narrative of related love affairs. The
reader is supposed to understand that,
because the various actors in these

the affairs themselves have some sort
of supersignificance. To the reviewer
this significance was not evident. And
the affairs. just as affairs. are pretty
dull. There have been lots Of such

Tomato Has Returned.

THE tomato, the love apple which
at various times has been con-
sidered poisonous and source Of can
Ger, totally erroneous ideas, of course.
has come back to America to take a
place on the modern diet which is
almost unprecedented. The 90 year
growth of tomato production shows
tremendous gain. Even as recently
as 1915, barely more than thirteen and
half million bushels were produced
in the United States. Now the figure
is nearly eighteen million bushels.
The gain in production is due in
part to the development of better types
and partly because Of the vitamin
value of the juice.
Uneaten-and unknown-by civil
lized folks 400 years ago, the tomato
has a very brief recorded history.
Prior to Columbus discovery Of
America it was known only to the ma
tives of tropical America who doubt
less had used 1t for long but un-
determined time. Today the tomato
in its many forms Is almost as widely
distributed as wheat, q crop with rec
orded history going back thousands
of years.
Introduction this year of q new
variety, the Glovel, originated by
scientists of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture and developed
in cooperation with the Florida ex-
pertinent station, is another step up.
ward in the rapid rise of the tomato.
Since research has proved the
tomato rich in needed vitamins, the
success story Of the tomato ID easy
to understand. It is considered an ex.
cellent source Of vitamin A, q fair
source Of vitamin B, and stands out a.
q source Of vitamin c, all three Of
which are important In . balanced
diet, according to the Bureau Of
Home Economics.
This bureau points out the YER
satility Of the tomato. Canned or
fresh. 1t serves as the basis Of cock
tail, soup. or savory sauce. It's bright
color and tart flavor enlivens many q
meat and vegetable dish, and the
American salad might never have been
what 1t Is without raw sliced tomatoes,
tomato aspic, tomatoes stuffed, to-
matoes in almost inumerable forms.
Studies in preservation also have
been distinct aid in boosting con-
sumption Of the tomato. Nowadays
thousands Of farm housewives not
only grow . supply for use fresh in
season. but also grow q surplus so
that the canning schedule includes
plenty Of tomatoes for out-of-season
use. Also the commercial canneries
preserve tomatoes at q rate of ap-
proximately one and one third million
tons annually. 20 that the grocery
