Bridgeport, Con. According
to a prominent consumer study

tests, it is possible to keep the
GOODNESS of beer for more than
seven hours after removal from
ice by freezing it in HON
freezer and wrapping it in dry
newspaper 1t is said that the
liquid will lose none of its fresh
ness or flavor through this me-
thod.
However, it was recommended
that the process be carried out
only with canned beer, as the
bottles are believed likely to
break. 1t is also anticipated that
the freezing will be done only
once, since repeated freezing and
trawing will upset the chemical
balance, the experts state.

Negro Dinign Car
Stewards Named

Oakland, Cal. August - The
appointment of four Negro rail
workers to the important posts o
dining car stewards has been re-
vealed here in an announcement
by a Council of Dining Car En-
ployees Union. Spokesman, Will
liam e. Poland. The new Ste
wards are all employees of the
Western Pacific Railroad. 1t is
understood that this marks the
first time in rail history that a
major railroad has un-graded Neg
TO workers in this particular cap
acity.
Already, reports of the early
success of the move are being
received by the company, it was
indicated, and the acceptance of
the travelling public has been ac-
knowledged. 1t is believed that
company officials have express
ed their regard for the efficiency
of the four stewards, while en-
ployee has reached a new high.
And while the men have been
assigned to one of the crack train
of the system already in operation
it is expected that the company
may use their services on one of
the new streamland double decker
trains whic hare soon to be plac-
ed into operation.
Accordingto observers here, the
Western Pacific has always been
fair in it's relationship with it's
colored employees and in addition
to, being one of the first to COM
ply with the Fair Labor Stand
ards Act, it has consistently paid
good wages and otherwise pro-
vided good working conditions.

Our Women
| Workers

A look at the overall pictures
of our women workers shows that
the fight for legislation to give
equal work and open the job
world to women has won some
fine places for "her ladyship"
The opinion of many specialists
is that women are not taking
the place of men. They are sim
ply taking their own places. Ken
meth 0. Smith in a research ar
ticle on Industry, reveals that
surveys show 80 to 80 per cent
of women work because they need
the money.
The Women's Bureau in Wash
ington bears this out in a recent
report that in 100000 families,
or nearly one fifth of the famili-
es in the U. S., both husband and
wives are employed. This is an
increase of about 100000 famili-
es over 1910. About one third of
all women are employed in the
manufacturing industries with an
increased hiring of one per cent
above prewar level. Next comes
the retail trades with Is per cent;
the professions with II IL per
cent, restaurants, hotels, laund-
ries and cleaning shops 10 per
cent.

LVew Year Brings
Joy, Hope, Sadness

Superstition and curiosity prompt
ed the Anglo-Saxons to climb upon
their roofs as the hour of midnight
approached on New Years Eve--it
was believed that something might
happen when the New Year burst
in and everyone wanted to be in q
position to see for himself.
Perhaps more of this something
might happen superstition has sur
vived than is Immediately apparent.
Almost everyone breads the thought
Of being alone on New Years Eve:
if possible, we gather our families
and friends around us in our homes.
In more serious mood, an ever
increasing number of persons at
tend Watch services to greet the
New Year in prayer and meditation;
and there is universal resolve to
''do better" next year. Gathering in
public places, in Times Square-or
its counterpart-we make as much
noise as possible-presumably be-
cause our primitive ancestors uti-
lized noise as an expression of cele-
bration, believing the din would
keep evil spirits and influences at
distance.
Joyous New Year Bells.
The New Year bells have ceased
to toll for the dying year and now
welcome the New Year with joyous
peals symbolic of the hope with
which mankind looks forward to
brighter future and better world,
but the nostalgia strains Of Auld
Lang Syne have become so in
trinsically a part of our New Years
Eve that even the very gayest gath
erings would be incomplete with
out it.
Indeed, we stand before the New
Year with mingled sentiments, not
wholly unlike the child Of Long
fellows sonnet:
"Half willing, half reluctant to
be led,
And leave his broken playthings
on the floor,
Still gazing at them through the
open door
Nor wholly reassured and COM
fOrted
BY promises of others in their
stead,
Which, though more splendid,
may not please him more"

Our Christmas Date
Started By Romans

The first celebration of the birth
of Christ on December 25 took place
in the fourth century. Before that
date the commemoration of Christ's
Nativity and Baptism was held on
January 6.
The first mention of Christmas is
found in a Roman document known
as the "Philocalian Calendar" in
the year 354, and the first time the
festival was celebrated in Britain
was in 500, when st. Augustine bap-
tized 10000 converts.
In the year SGT the Council OF
Tours declared twelve-day festival
from Christmas to Epiphany, and
in 991-1016 the laws ordained that
all strife should cease at Christmas.
Christmas was established in 8lS
in Germany and in Norway. in the
UAyi1s. A5fl as tSb ii. &fs~
