Many people have made a mess
out of life because they never
learned to use their hands. The
effort made to guard the famous
Dionne quintuplets from that er.
ror has lessons which parents
may we'll note.
These young ladies, now more
than five years old, are being
taught to drive nails into planks
to pile up blocks, and draw with
crayons. Thus they are beginning
very young to acquire a mastery
Of the worlds most marvellous
tool, the human hand.

Christmas AdUertising

AS Christmas approaches, the
newspapers blossom out with a
galaxy of ads. They will probably
carry greater volume of adver-
Using during the present Deem
Der than ever before in any single
month.
Without such announcements of
the things the stores are offering,
the styles that will prevail, the
prices that will be asked, these
concerns could not possibly expect
to work off the enormous stocks
they have assembled in anticipa-
ton of the holiday.
If these advertisers find such
advertising necessary to sell their
stocks, why is it not equally neces-
sary for all who have things to
sell?

Flo about % years, campaign
has been carried on to induce peo-
pie to buy their Christmas gifts
early, and to avoid the rush in the
final days before the holiday 1t
was seen years ago that the tradi-
tional jam at this period imposes
an almost inUOlerable strain on
store, postal, express and other
workers. 1t seemed a very simple
thing to induce the public to
change its habits and buy far
enough in Tdvance so that the
grand final scrimmage might be
avoided.
1t is a difficult thing to change
human habits. You may be able
to turn nature upside down, and
remove mountains of dirt and cast
them into the sea, in order to
build some needed highway. But
the fixed ways of human nature
are about as set as a rock, and it
takes some kind of an explosion to
turn them over.
So in spite Of all the annual lee
turing that this rush should be
leveled off and distributed. people
still continue to jam the stores for
ten days previous to the Christmas
holiday and make a mountain of
trouble for overworked folks.
This publicly has had some eff
feet on a large number of sensible
folks. They begin getting their
Christmas stuff together at an ear
ly date, and do something to mod
crate the worst of the rush.
In so doing they favor their own
interest and save. themselves ia
tigue and annoyance. They get
the best of the stocks, before they
have been picked over and the
most desirable articles carried off.
They save themselves the bother of
waiting while clerks attend to
other customers. And they don't
have to stand in line at post of
fees.
These sensible and considerate
folk perform a public service by
doing their Christmas shopping
and mailing early.

Air Mail Feeders
CNew York Times)

(New York Times
 There is much of interest in the plan for the es- tabshment of a comprehensive airline feeder system throrehout the United States which has been suomt ted to the Civil Aeronautcs Authority and the Post- office Department by Richard c. du Pont. MT. du Pont known for his skill soaring pilot and his diversified interest in aviation is president of All American Aviation Inc which is conducting with success an interesting daily operation on two ar-mal roltes lying in Pennsylvania West Virginia, Ohio and Delaware These routes are operated by the pickup ard drop-sack method in which bags of mail are de- tached by the plane in flight from line suspended between poles Already the little planes of the system flv $40 miles daily make 75 pickups and serve 58 communities Schedules have been maintained under adverse weather and an average speed of 100 miles an bour is made in spite of contacts at requences of from five to g miles The smallest community on the routes Glenvile w. Va has daily air-nail dispatch of be- tween two and four pounds, which, on a percapta basis exceeds that of the largest air center n the United States.
 Based upon this experience, MT. du Pont proposes the creation of National network of feeder lines so as to extend the benefits of airmai service to com munities without airports well as those with them and to spread much widely the advantages of the swift transportation of mail It is suggested, after satisfactory experiment. that small dual-engne air planes could even perform passenger service in con- nection with the air-nail pickup loading and dis charging their passengers at, the relatively widely spaced points at which landings made. Persons living in off line points served by the great airport systems would thus enjoy the me-savng elements of air travel to an extent only slightly less great than those in the present cities MT du Fonts sug- gestion is bold approach to a real problem It cer- tainlv is worthy of most careful examination by the agencies concerned with civil aeronautics.

THE COMMONS

These days have brought reaffirmation of the unity of the component parts of the British Common wealth of Nations the most recent example being that of Canada which entered the war Sunday to fight at the side of the mother country
 Thousands of miles have been erased, with re- suting abundant evidence that their elevation to the stature of independent nations has not impaired in any degree the loyalty to England of Canada South Africa Australia and New Zealand. No longer is it strictly true that when England is at at war" for the course of each in was determined by itself But it is true today that each will do its full part as simply a member of the British Empire"
 In 1914 there was belief in Berlin amounting almost to conviction that the British Empire brittle thing The war quickly brought dislusion and this lament and confession appeared in Ger many:
 We expected that British India would rise when the first shot was fired in Europe but in fact thou sands of Indians fight with the British against us We anticipated that the whole British Empire would be torn in pieces but the colonies appear to be united closer than with the mother country We expected triumphant rebellion in South Africa it proved fiasco."
 Cermanys disappointment over the refusal of the British Empire to collapse is quite understandable Canada, by the end of the war, had raised 62S,oOo men, Australia with population of 100000 sent 330oOO and incurred debt of s3OO0Oo0000 New Zealand. with 100000 population sent 1120oo men and incurred a debt of s40O0O0000 New Zealand had 5OOO0 casualties and only 34l of her taken prisoner South Africa raised 76,000 for her in- dividual with Germany. India sent 100000 fight CTS to aid the Empire Altogether of the nearly l0 100000 under the British flag, in all capacities 3,2S5,000 came from overseas
 Today, theoretically. Canada, Australia, New Zea- land and South Africa are responsible for their defense Yet they all recognize that they must hang together hang separately" And they are all mak- ing their preparations for their defense and for cooperation Their individual participation in in Europe will be determined by themselves. Yet Australia Canada, New Zealand and South Africa are preparing.
 That England is not worried about India is shown by her dispatch of thousands of soldiers from that country to Singapore and to Egypt. In the last five years the small group of federated Malay States has contributed more than slOOOOooo0 for the defense of the Empire Germany today, it would seem, could hardly repeat her mscalculaton of 1914 in regard to the Dominions.

 The embarrassment of the well-regimented Ger mans who must snap to attention when the band plays the Intenationae is exceeded only by the con- sterration of American Communists who have been painting pretty pictures of Stalin the friend and savior of democracy. They were sold short so sud- denly by the Nazi-Sovet alliance that for while they were almost speeches..
 Now Earl Browder and other Communists are mak- ing elaborate explanations, assuring their American neighbors that Stalin is still moving in mysterious and inscrutabe ways the cause of democracy, that the German alliance was long expected and it does not mean much, anyway.
 All this is as unconvincing as it is sefcontradic- tory Stalin is for Staln Hitler is for Hitler The purposes of both directly antithetical to the ideals of democracy. They head toward the same goal If it helped Stan policy to smile on democracy in America the smiles forthcoming At the moment Staln and his advisers have decided that 1t will serve their purposes to make peace with the Fascists; so such peace is promptly forthcoming.
 Moscow of course. has no monopoly upon such opportunisn The record of international relations for centuries full of similar about-faces Moreover Staln had personal for his flop to the side of the leader who so recently was calling him the scum of humanity" Last fall at Munich the western democracies gave him what amounted to a diplomatic buns rush. Stalin eager to get even.
 That he has done so by naneuver which presents the democratic nations with the serious hazard they have faced for century should be convincing evidence that his love and respect for democracy is pretty thin stuff
