Where the snow-drfts up in the Litchheld hills? Where is the ice frozen woodland ris? Where the tunnels and the brave made of snow2 The walled paths, the shovels in the row? Where's the jangle and hum of skaters the ice Hundreds of steel blades skimmng oh, nice? Where the hills from Connecticut Where oh where is winter, is all that you hear, Where oh where is January of old yesteryear?

REAL MERIT SYSTEM
Stengle Asks United Effort in
Letter Sent to Various Ma

tlOAoA NAou Pos
Declaring that "the greatest oppor-
tunity afforded friends of the civil
service in many years is now before
u.s." Charles I. Stengle, president OF
the American Federation of Govern
ment Employees, urged in a letter
sent to numerous national organiza-
tions yesterday that united effort
be made to obtain "a real merit sys-
tenn at this time.
In his letter, directed among other
groups, to the war veterans organiza-
tions, the National League of Women
Voters and the National Woman
Party, Mr.. Stengle cited the friendly
attitude of President Roosevelt to
legislation of this type.
"A career system in the civil serv-
ice is essential" Mr.. Stengle said
mot only from the point of view OF
fairness to the employe but because
thereby an incentive is offered him
which ultimately will most certainly
be reflected in his interest in and
efficient handling of his work. The
gain will be triple-not only will COM
petent persons hold the positions, but
they will be fairly treated, and as .
result of this fair treatment and in
creased opportunity they will do their
best on the job

inal always lands behind the bars in the end, and the clearly ex- pressed moral is that crime is wrong and does not pay, yet in telling of the story, details of criminal practice come out that had better be kept in closed & sealed book, at least so far as youthful readers are concerned.
 The League of Nations has ap- proved the splitting up of Pales- tine into Arabic and Jewish DOT tions, an item of little interest save that it brings to mind the circumstance that the League is still alive. Shakespeare said that there is a tide in the affairs of men which taken at its flood leads on to fortune. The flood tide for the League of Nations ar rived at the time of the Ethiopian invasion, but for some reason no advantage was taken of it. The League may do things that will bring it back into general favor, but at present the public is in- clined to regard it as good in- stitution of little practical use and incapable of delivering the goods in a pinch.
