"That's so," said Santa. "Well
I'll tell you what's worrying me-
Year after year I keep working
away to make present for children
But 1t seems to me there are times
when people down in the world all
look so unhappy. Even the chill
dren. My gifts seem to do no good.
What would you suggest?"
The doll stared into the fire.
Then she spoke:
you know I am new and know
very little. But today I watched
and it seems to me that people
and dolls and fairies smile easily
over little things. Not over big
things. Is there no way, in the
world of which you speak, to give
people little pleasures?"
Santa tugged at his beard and
thought. Then he smiled:
you are right. 1t never occurred
to me before. But the leaders of
men are all so busy trying to secure
great riches that their people are
unhappy. It's wrong. l just re-
member little village I loved long
ago. Each night at sunset the peo-
pie met on the lawn in front of the
church and danced until the moon
came up. That dancing was a little
pleasure"
What has become of it?" asked
the doll.
A Strange Sound.
"Oh, one man stronger than the
rest laid out great vineyards on all
the hills and promised the villagers
riches if they worked hard in the
vineyards. So they have done for
centuries. But they work so hard
they are too tired to dance. They
60 to bed with worry and toss all
night and get up just as tired. What
could I do for them?"

condition and marking rather than
singing ability, but added special
classes are to be included for judg-

Since jungle heat and food can
be supplied these creatures, they are
thriving boarders in many ZOOS.
Active and highly nervous, they are
much given to playing. With
great bump of curiosity and blessed
with a good memory, they acquire
considerable mechanical skill. They
can be trained and seem to enjoy
teasing their teacher, pretending
they cannot learn a lesson, then
when all hope Is given up, the CHM
panZee will do the task perfectly.
In more ways than one, they are. as
you can see, pretty much like hu-

Happier Approach
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 The Black Diamond Lines, whose ships are tied up under the cash and carry provision of the Neutrality Act announces resumption of its service to Belgian and Dutch ports with fleet of chartered Norwegian vessels Its aim is to reduce the loss it would suffer if it's fleet entirely withdrawn from the transatlantic service, and at the same time to maintain continuous service for its GUS toners.
 Under this arrangement the spirit of the Neu- trality Act will be observed. The ships to be em- ployed by Black Diamond built with foreign capital they will be manned by foreign crews as before but the company will be able to continue in business and incidentally to assist in maintaining fairly normal commercial relations between this nation and the neutrals to the north of Europe.
 Thi Black Diamond approach to the problem created by cash and carry is much happier than the proposal to register American ships under the flags of foreign nations and keep them in service as before. If, as Washington dispatches indicate, the President has turned thumbs down the latter scheme cash and carry may still be something more than a shibboleth
 Black Diamond vessels making Dutch and Bel gan ports will probably carry contraband and be subject to search and seizure by both beligerents But as long they operate under the Norwegian flag their fortunes the high will be no con- cern of the American government It is difficult to imagine incidents arising in connection with this effort of an American shipping company to remain in business that would strain American relations with either Germany or Great Britain.
