THE INEPT MADAM

Few citizens would suggest
Madam Perkins was wise choice
for the difficult and vital post OF
secretary Of labor But the situa-
ton is worse than that. Refusing
TO appoint a more capable secre-
tary, Roosevelt set up a whole
new department Of labor in which
13 agencies and innumerable small
bureaus sift confusion upon con-
fusion into the dangerous and
complex problems of labor.
When construction, leadership
and initiative is desperately
needed in agriculture, there is
only Claude Wickard whose past
and present record adds up to
zero. Here, too, the President has
created incredible confusion. jeal-
ousies and conflicts in a depart
ment paralyzed by confusion,
through the establishment Of
whole extra administration under
Judge Marvin Jones which has
taken over most Of the depart
ment functions and lift Wickard

out release. AS the days passed he Suddenly she burst into tears. He longed to tear off his false whiskers and tell her that everything would be all right now But instead he said, Whats the matter, Mari anne?"
 Il want my daddy to come home" she sobbed. T want that more than doll or anything"
 Well, that's pretty large order said Santa, but I'll see what I can do."
 Out in the brisk night air Michael Parker regretted having fought with Wilson. The incident paraded across his memory, as it had thousand times in the past few weeks. After months of studying and planning, he had gone to Wilson, the plant man. ager, with scheme that was sure fire for speeding up plane produc- tion. Wilson was brusque. You stick to your engineering, he said, "Ill worry about production"
 After telling Wilson, among other things, that he was the plants big gest bottleneck, Parker angrily went home.
 Bitter and restless, he had gone away three weeks ago, telling Elsie, his wife, that he was out to get a real job.
 But no one would take him with out reease. AS the days passed he longed intensely to be with his fam fly again but pride would not let him return failure. Finally, funds run ming low, he took the job as Santa Claus for the Christmas holidays.
 Snow was beginning to fall. Last minute shoppers were thinning out. He walked aimlessly among them, wondering where he could go, know ing that home, tonight, of all nights, was out of the question. Suddenly he remembered the words of a child who had sat on his knee that afternoon. When Michael, as Santa Claus, had asked him what he wanted for Christmas he had re- | piled, Tt doesn't matter. Even Christmas doesn't seem to matter any more. I just came here to keep up my mom's spirit" He paused. 'There won't be any real Christmas for me until my pop comes home. | He's in Africa, you know
 All at once Michael Parker real ized that he, not Wilson, was the bottleneck.
 With Elsie in his arms he mur- mured, I've come back the same as I left--a fool, complete fool.' "Well, not a complete fool" she countered with a smile. Wilson

q. NICK SHED FROM
 ATTENTION FOR GIFTS

The stocking custom is said to have started with St. Nicholas, orig inal of Santa Claus, Greek bishop, Nicholas of Myra, who lived in the fourth century. He was both gen. erous and shy, and hated to be thanked for the presents he was continually making to those in need.
 Once he climbed to a roof top and dropped a purse of gold down the chimney so that he would not be seen. The money, instead of falling in the fire, lodged in child's stock ing that had been hung up to dry on the mantelpiece.
 His act became known, and there after whenever unexpected gifts came from unknown sources they were attributed to St. Nicholas.

 But how did you know that I'd be here?"
 Marianne ran out from her bed room and threw her arms around his waist T told Mother she an- nounced.
 An amused twinkle came into Michael Parkers eyes. "Oh, see. I suppose you asked Santa Claus to send me home?"
 No"
 "Well, that's strange. That's ex- actly what happened"
 Marianne giggled. Daddy she said, "the next time you try to fool anyone you had better cover up that funny little mole between your eyes I could tell that anywhere.

SIGNS OF ZODIAC GIVETIp50N WHO
 WANTS THAT GIFT

A New York City astrologer has devised a novel system of selecting Christmas gifts. It works as well as any, it seems.
 Its as simple as A, B, C." said Miss Helen Paul, the astrologer. If one studies the signs under which friends and relatives are born, no one need fear that their gifts will be exchanged after Christmas"
 Here's her rating of Christmas satisfaction according to the zodiac :;
 Those born from December 22 to January 2l are the practical type. Capicorn is their sign and they have a yen for leather goods
 The Aquarius boys and girls born from January g to February 20-- like the unusual, the Aquarius fe- males hankering for ankle bracelets, the males want spats.
 Those borA under the sign of the fish-Pisces, February 2l to March 20-would be greatly pleased with wet goods-wines and liquor.
 The Aries crowd - March 2l to April 21-go in for smoking. Ash trays, cigarettes, pipes. topacco-for the men. For the women, box of "personalized" matches, or, a bright red sweater and cap.

 Michael Parker slid into his Santa Claus suit with groan. It had been a long, hard day and the stretch from seven o'clock to nine remained before the big department store would close.
 Seated on his throne. he glanced resignedly down the long line ap- preaching him. It was then that he saw her. The sight made him choke with emotion and his voice trem- bled when he spoke to the young sters. Her turn came at last and he took her on his knee as he had done the others. What's your name, little girl?" he asked in his gruffest voice.

 CHRISTMAS DAY

Ironically enough, several strange and important war activities have taken place on Christmas Day. One which many of the British and German soldiers of the last World War remember is the strange Christmas Day that took place on the 1914 front. The World War was definitely on, but for a short time, On Christmas Day, there was per- jed of peace on earth between the lighting soldiers.
 In the Flanders sector, German and British soldiers ceased firing by mutual agreement, and went over to each others trenches and dugouts to spend the day in feasting

GREAT CHRISTMAS
 CAROLS WORK OF
 INSPIRED CLERGY

Since that first Christmas when the angels sang Glory to Goa in the Highest" music has been a vital part of the holiday season, schools, churches and homes ring with joy ous hymns and songs. The first singing of carols in the streets, we are told, was in the year 1224.
 When we think of Christmas we think of the pictures you see on Christmas cards of houses almost buried in snow, candles burning ln windows, and carolers grouped around doorway, singing with all their hearts to the distant peal ot church bells. Christmas must have been picturesque in those days, no automobiles whizzing by, just the merry jingle of sleigh bells.
 "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing was written in 1730 by Charles Wes- ley, youger brother of John Wesley, who founded the Methodist denomi- nation, but was not published until 1856. Inspiration for the poem came to Wesley as he walked to church one Christmas morning.
 Bishop Phillip Brooks, rector of the Holy Trinity Church in Philadel- phla, was asked by his Sunday School children to write Christmas song, so in 1868 he produced "Oh Little Town of Bethlehem" After writing the hymn, he went to the church organist and asked him to furnish the tune. The organist, Lewis H. Redner says the air came to him in Christmas dream, and it was finished for the next days services.
 Origin of silent Night
 But most beloved of all Christmas music is Silent Night, Holy Night" written, we are told, by Father Jo- sci Mohr, who found himself with out means of music for the Christ mas services. because mice had eat en the bellows of the church organ. Father Josef was greatly troubled over the calamity, and as he re- turned from administering rites to a dying woman he stood on hilltop, at midnight, and it came to him that it must have been just such silent night, that the Christ child was born, so he went home and com posed the words to our famous Christmas hymn.
 Then, of course, it needed music, so he went to his old schoolmaster, Franz Gruber. And so Franz played his guitar and Father Josef sang a Christmas hymn that will never die.
 Few think of this lovely hymn without remembering how we watch ed our radio dial at Christmas time for it's rendition by one of the most beloved of singers, Madame Schu- mann Heink.
 Oh, those were days of simplicity when rectors casting about for suit able Christmas programs turned po- cts, and organists turned composers to furnish the music, music that goes on forever.
 They would, indeed, be gratified if they could hear our present Christ mas day programs, pouring out of a little cabinet in the corner, their labors of love have come long way from that steel guitar and gentle voice replacing a nibbled bellows they'd be surprised to learn their flock now does it's Christmas shop ping to their inspirational tunes.

 A very important military event in colonial American history also took place on Christmas Day. George Washington, leading his brave, but weather-beaten army of 2,400 men across the Delaware, cap tured the city of Trenton, N. J., which British and Hessian troops were then occupying. Over 1,500 enemy troops were captured in the surprise march.

be impossible for them to run out of
ammunition because of any temporary
strike.
Of course, that does not mean that
the war production program as a
whole is not affected by strikes, the
military leaders pointed out. They
praised the efforts of organized labor
to prevent strikes and to end them
quickly when local stoppages occur.
Speaking of future needs, General
Clay said:
eve have enough supplies for all
our present operations. But monthly
production has got to be stepped up
to met the requirements of the oper-
ations ahead of us.
"As matter of fact, we are facing
in the next three months the most diff
ficult period from a production stand
point since the war began. We know
that if the workers understand the
situation they will come through.
"The greatest contribution they can
make in these critical months, is to
stay on the job or-where required by
war needs - to transfer readily to
more essential occupations"

HEALTH CONDITIONS BAD
IN LOW INCOME STATES

Washington, D. C.-Health condi-
tions in the United States are "appall-
ing" Inadequate wages and lack of
proper medical care have produced
bitter harvest Of stunted minds and
bodies.
That shocking picture was painted
before subcommittee of the Senate
Committee on Education and Labor by
a group of military doctors who urged
a Federal health plan to correct wide
spread physical and mental defects.
Testimony showed over 100000
draft registrants 18 to 81 years have
been rejected as unfit. In states with
relatively high income and good
medical facilities, rejection rates were
low. But in the southeastern states,
where wages are low and medical
facilities poor, the rejection rate was
highest.
