BRUINS TRIUMPH
IN CLOSING GAME

CHICAGO, Dec. 2 - WD 49, The
once-mighty Chicago Bears closed
out their most disastrous National
Football League season in history
today by whipping their cross
town rivals, the Cardinals, % to
20, in a cellar.deciding game be-
fore 1925 spectators at Comiskey
park.
With Quarterback Sid Luckman,
pro-footbalrs No. / pitcher, hitting
two touchdown passes, the Bears
wound up their 1915 season on a
mild note of triumph which gave
them three victories and seven de-
feats, good for fourth place and a
300 percentage, their lowest win
ming mark in 26 years.
The defeat showed the Cardinals
beneath the Bears in last place in
the eastern division for the second
straight year with a season record
of nine setbacks and only one vic
tory.
It was Luckman's precision
pitching and crafty generalship
which enabled the Bears to sal.
wage bit of glory by whipping the
Cardinals in their annual intra-city
final.
Luckman, who has piloted the
Bruins to four divisional champion.
ships during his seven-year pro
career, repeatedly caught the
Cardinal defense mapping to spark
the Bears to a 81 to z halftime
lead. His 50-yard touchdown pass
to End Ken Kavanaugh in the
third quarter gave the Bears the
margin they needed to withstand
13-point Cardinal rally in the
final quarter.

CHRISTMAS, 1945

Tomorrow, after four Christmases Of war; the world of Chrstendom celebrates the greatest miracle of all times cnce again in peace.
 Two thousand years ago a Child was born in humble surroundings in the town of Bethlehem and the event the beginning of new spirit that was to spread as a flame to all corners of the world breaking the barriers of the stagnant ancient world to give everywhere hope and strength and bonds of fellowship.
 The Christian ethc entails the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. but how far the world has been from attaining this ideal is attested by the last five years of strife and struggle Leaders who worshped gods ill place of the true God brought humanity such pass and it is clear that the hope of keeping the flame alive is the hope that new leaders will assert their leadership along the right path
 But already nations who worked side by side to defeat aggessor toalitarian states now fail to agree in setting up the machinery for peaceful world National selfishness, which is just as important as individual selfishness has not been abandoned, and this is the threat to peaceful future There can be no brotherhood without brotherhood of nations The lesson written long ago in the Christmas story Ye all of one another.

China Lesson
Washington Post)


 That a little knowledge is a dangerous thing has never been better illustrated than in the of Mrs Roosevelt It is doubly dangerous when coupled with emotional streak such Mrs Roosevelt possesses She used to be of millions of Americans who looked at China through rose-colored glasses. Now she has joined criticism of the Chiang Kashek government for it's undemocratic ways. To be sure, criticism is justified but not in the comprehensive unknoWing manner that Mrs Roosevelt puts it.. This is how Mrs Roosevelt expresses her castigatoh. Madame Chiang typical of the Chinese in that she can talk beau tifully about democracy but she does not know how to live democracy A mountain of ignorance is con- tained in Mrs. Roosevelts sentence. Actually the Chinese are the people above all others who Tive democracy"
 Mrs. Roosevelt is confusing representative insti- tutions with democratic living. The value attached to the individual is Chinese inheritance extending back long before the Christian The individual rises superior to the state even to God Thus the Chnese are at the opposite pole from the German ana the Japanese to whom the individual meant nothing ana the state everything It is the dignity felt for the individual that for the civilization of China Indeed China is civilization than state, even a nation No matter where you go 1n China, whether rule is exercised by war lord Communist or a Kuomintang general you will find the same way of life In China they call it tao" word the flavor of which can be expressed only by the Biblical Way. Along with respect for the individual the Chinese way of life has no distinction and no racial prejudice and is expressed by loyalty to the family and suspicion of the state no matter who is running it.
 Here is the key difficulty about China. 1nefficiency is rife because the Chinese have such an abiding respect for the individual Incompetents are seldom fred etner in the home in the factory, because the concern would always be about their fate Far from not living democratically in other words the Chinese live too democratically Bad government is tolerated because government nobodys and therefore IS little more than piratica adventure It is for these reasons that the governmental unity which Secretary Byrnes in letter to Representative Anderson, says is the object of our policy toward China will be hard to achieve. We must preserve in pressing Chang hal- shek to lberaze his regime in conformity with his promises and the principles of the founder Of the Chinese Republic Sun Yat-sen But we cannot afford to forget what Secretary Byrnes calls the realities of China as Mrs. Roosevelt does.

if anything, perhaps, has done a little worse. Well-meaning Herbert Rose, head of the CPA Textile Division, who has sublime faith in the efficacy of priorities under any and all circumstances, has pro- ceeded to grant priorities to hard ship" cases for coat Things. By the end of November, 160 hardship cases had received lining priorities from Washington alone with scores of other priorities issued by CPA branch offices, making the whole situation more snarled than ever.
 Meanwhile, Frank Chester Bowles who has done more to protect the American consumer than anyone else in Washington, readily admits that he has made mistake in clothing. His problem, however, is whether to get an army of women's clothing dealers on his neck by decreasing the ceilings on womenS clothes, or whether to boost the price of clothes for man by allowing higher price ceilings on their clothes.
 One or the other probably will be necessary even in addition to the plan for voluntary rationing of mems clothing and the issuing of clothing certificates to men at separation centers,

WEDNESDAY,, DECEMBER 26

Good and bad planetary aspects seem to balance in the horoscope for today. The morning is good to plan independent projects.
 HEART AND HOME
 Reaction from holiday celebrations may be peculiarly depressing. Ac- cording to the stars the spiritual and and intellectual should dominate in victory celebrations.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 With the new year, there will be interest in farming among returned servicemen and women. The chaos of world affairs will point up the advantage of independence and alcofness.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 An evil portent is interpreted as warning that Congress will be un- der extraordinary pressure next month when lobbyists assemble for the passage of bills favorable to self ish interests. Lasting peace will be jeopardized by financial powers and industrial networks.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Canada is to be more closely bound to the United States. There is a sign, however, which seems to pre- sage trouble over certain highways or waterways.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of changes which may include employment in foreign lands. Much good fortune is forecast.
 Children born on this day probably will be gifted but inclined to doubt their ability to succeed They should be taught optimism.

stores, similar to U. s. department stores, are patronized almost ex- clusively by discount" buyers.
 Russian commercial stores sell everything from fancy foods to quality clothing. Their lines are attractively packaged and displayed, and the stores themselves vie in swank with the best department palaces in the USA. However, the prices charged for some commodi- ties would cause an American housewives to swoon.
 A l2-pound dressed turkey, for instance, costs as high as $500 in American money, based on the ruble rate of five and a half rubles to the dollar.
 Eggs cost approximately $l.44 each; cigarettes, $9 per package; 8 cheese sandwich, $306; women's house dresses, from SIP to $90; coffee, SIP per pound; paper cup of ice cream, $1.80; mems suits from $40 to $500; mems shoes from $288 to S396; and womens slippers, from $360 to $81O
 Despite these prices, the com mercial' stores do thriving busi- ness, chiefly with Russian soldiers and officers, who have plenty oi money and can buy at discount rates.

Then be glad either Snat we have Chester Bowles or that we're not in Russia-or both.
 Because of censorship, American correspondents in Moscow haven't been able to cable stories about the cost of living in Russia. Also, news men realize they might be declared persona non grata" if they painted too unvarnished a picture of in- side Russia. However, the fact is that the Soviet is having an even tougher imitation battle than the USA. This is due partly to the fact that there is no fixed formula for controlling prices, but rather an extravagant system of discounts" ranging from 15 per cent for the average Communist Party workers to 56 per cent for the top military and political leaders.
 For numerous factory and cleri- cal employees, there is no dis count at all. This system, accord ing to Congressmen returned from Russia, is a boon to certain fa- vored classes, but works a con- siderable hardship on the ordinary factory workers.
 The latter must deal chiefly at so-called ration" stores in the plants where they are employed. These stores have lower price scales, but sell only the bare ne- ceSsities, such as work clothes and staple foods. The big commercial"
