DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS We suffer even in our spiritual life, when we confine our thoughts to the narrow horizon of our individual welfare. Nothing is more plitiful than a life spent in thinking of nothing but self, yet, even in thinking of nothing but one's own soul.—Canon Farrar. The paramount question is: What shall I give him? Or what shall I give her? Filibustering in Congress is a process of damning up legislation that is not commendable. The Dyer anti-lynching measure seems to have been lynched by filibustering Senators. Let no one think that David Lloyd George has sunk for the third and last time in the political maclstrom. The new government in Greece is proceeding on the principle that the only good ex-minister is the dead one. When M. Clemenceau eloquently epitomizes Abraham Lincoln, he gets close to the heart of the American people. Occasionally there is a dull day in Los Angeles when no additional screen beauties are found to whom to engage Charlie Chaplin. What President Harding would delight to have in his Christmas stocking is a ship subsidy bill, passed by both houses of Congress. There are strong arguments in favor of making the Presidential term six years and making the president ineligible to re-election. GENEROUS RELIEF HERE FOR NEAR EAST Quite generally and quite generously "Near East Emergency Day" was observed thruout the United States, in response to the proclamation of President Harding designating this day for a special contribution to this deserving, humane move. In his proclamation, the President asserted that the motive in dedicating a specific date to this was that the Nation might give an expression "worthy of the generous heart and the humanitarian spirit of our great republic." This cause should be supported liberally. And that the same time these who are responsible for the suffering there should be denounced and this country should lend sympathetic moral support to efforts to prevent a recurrence of the persecutions in the Near East by the truculent Turks. America will not withhold its generous hand while there is destitution and extreme need there. But it should use its influence to put a stop to cruel persecutions by the Turks. PROMOTE EDUCATION FOR THE MASSES During this "American Education Week" attention should be focused upon the bane of illiteracy, which exists in land to an alarming extent. There are 5,000,000 adults in the United States who are illiterate. There are 6,000,000 children of school age who are not in school. America should not tolerate this. It is a blot upon the good name of the Nation. It is wholly inconsistent with the boast that this country is a country pre-eminent for enlightenment. There should be a systematic, zealous persisting movement to put an end to this prevalence of ignorance. Thomas Jefferson admonished his countrymen to "preach a crusade against ignorance." Not only should they preach CHRISTMAS MONEY There's nothing like being sure—You WILL BE SURE to have money for Christmas if you enroll in our Christmas Club Enroll at Once AND Save the pennies, nickles, dimes Christmas Club Enroll at Once It's no trouble to join The first Deposit makes you a member Join the crowd—that's joining Join yourself—let the family join AND SAVE Save the pennies, nickles, dimes.

The very best imported kinds, we understand. Every day in every way the Tijuana race track gets better and better. Madalynne Obenchain, released from jail, says she will not remarry Ralph, "the man in a million." Madalynne is one of these here girls who knows enough to keep her freedom when she gets it, eh? Blood-curdling yells are uttered by San Francisco dry agents to scare their vietnamese during raids. This is bound to make for confusion, for how is bystander to know which are dry agents and which are customers who have just taken a drink of bootleg whisky? Tennessee hunter who climbed through a fence with a shotgun is learning to write with his left hand. Life is getting so complicated. Now it is just three or four darn things after three or four others. The woman who started the suit to inquire into the sanity of Prof. Tiernan must have overheard the rest of the United States talking. Another One for Mr. Grey—Wonder what a savage with a ring in his nose does when he has a cold in the head?—Seattle Star. An automobile salesman was killed in Chicago. But, then, there are so many automobile salesmen! An ordinance to prohibit duck killing on Miss Bay is before San Diego council. We could name several NEW YORK, Dec. 7. —“Day by day in every way” it's getting harder and harder to be secretive about oneself. Ages to come will undoubtedly look back on us as the period of the picture-takers. We shall be the most photographed creatures who ever inhabited the face of the earth. Passports were the first step. A lot of people complained at having to have their portraits attached to that document. And having seen passport photographs of several of my friends. I don't wonder at that. Then came commuters. Just a few months ago, the railroads out of New York demanded a photographic accompaniment to every commutation ticket, and we had to stop borrowing and lending in the good old neighborhood way. Now, it's pistol permits! Our Police Commissioner has just announced that hereafter every permit must be accompanied by a photograph of the bearer. Approximately 30,000 persons are licensed to carry pistols in greater New York. Chief among them are employees of banks and other financial institutions and persons engaged in hazardous occupations. Several ordinary citizens got permits last year during the crime wave, and I've even thought of it myself, but since we've learned our history becomes distorted. I am not going to have greatgrandchildren come across my portrait listed as a “pistol bearer” in some Hall of Records. The “Gas House District” has a fascination for all New Yorkers. Over and about old Avenue A, it is the scene of much of the distress of the metropolis, and a great deal of its honest labor. It is in greater to inquire into the sanity of Prof. Tiernan must have overheard the rest of the United States talking. Another One for Mr. Grey—Wonder what a savage with a ring in his nose does when he has a cold in the head?—Seattle Star. An automobile salesman was killed in Chicago. But, then, there are so many automobile salesmen! An ordinance to prohibit duck killing on Miss Bay is before San Diego council. We could name several hunters who wouldn't be affected even if the ordinance were passed. They never hit any ducks anyway. Autos are not as thick during the rush hours as some of the drivers, says Tom Sims. World War veterans, who are entitled to vocational training but have not applied for it, must get their application in before Dec. 16. After that, too late. The Vocational Rehabilitation Act so specifies. Spread the word among disabled soldiers. A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND INDEED? From Carlsbad (Calif.) Spirit of Love: "Rather unexpectedly and a little behind time, we have learned of the marriage of our old friends J. Edgar Squires and Mrs. Sarah Carpenter, at San Marcos, a few weeks ago. We have especial reasons for wishing them much happiness." TRAPPED John Martin, champion hunter employed by Uncle Sam "works" two months in South Dakota. He kills 35 coyotes and two bob-cats. Two-thirds of them bore evidence of having been in traps from which they had escaped, or of having been shot and wounded in the past. Old and wary animals are hard to trap or shoot, says John. Experience is valuable, to humans as much as coyotes and Bobcats. But most of us raise a mighty howl while we're acquiring it. Yet getting caught in a small trap usually saves us from a larger trajar later—provided we remember and learn. Christensen School of Popular Music Apartment 5 Kraemer Bldg. 222 E. Center St. Phone 901 France has our sympathy. We loved turkey, also; and it disagreed with us. National aspirations should be listed under the head of surplus war material. Only eight more lays, and we can pay our last quarterly tribute to the glory of war. "Art makes visible the things that are unseeth." This is especially true of cubist art. The swain who tries to convince her that has love is genuine is ably assisted by her vanity. So live that you won't have to blush for your grammar when at last your love letters are read in court. Some things can be very successful without co-operation, but a kiss isn't one of them. Coal prices are much like meteors. They always fall in some town several hundred miles away. Borah says Clennenceau is responsible for conditions in Europe. Mr. Borah, meet Mr. Hohenzollern. There are always compensations. The worse Lloyd George is licked, the more kick in his epigrams. If it doesn't rhyme and doesn't seem to mean anything, it is probably a translation from the Chinese. Married men live longer than bachelors. Well, well; it takes them longer to have their share of fun. We still are waiting to hear Wilhelm blame the failure of his book on the disloyalty of the German people. The world gets better all the time, and the noiseless pistol will enable bandits to ply their trade without disturbing traffic. We now are so well protected from cheap foreign labor that it can't even buy high-priced American goods. Several ordinary citizens got permits last year during the crime wave, and I've even thought of it myself, but since we've learned our history becomes distorted, I am not going to have greatgrandchildren come across my portrait listed as a "pistol bearer" in some Hall of Records. The "Gas House District" has a fascination for all New Yorkers. Over and about old Avenue A, it is the scene of much of the distress of the metropolis, and a great deal of its honest labor. It is in greater prominence just now because it is from that district that Governor-elect Al Smith came, and one of the proudest boasts of the Boys' Club located there is that "Al" was a member when a boy. This club was founded by the late E. H. Harriman, and is yet under the patronage of that family. All the kiddies who cannot find room in the movie auditorium of the club go to the District Moving Picture Theatre, the "Avenue A." Every mother's son was yelling himself hoarse the other night when pictures of the good Al were thrown upon the screen. And just then angry tongues of flame shot out from the operator's booth. It looked like a panic and the tune "East Side, West Side" failed to hold the youngsters in their seats. A solicitous manager got on the job, applying the pyrene extinguiser and his own soothing assurances, and "All round the town" was soon resumed by the audience. Who knows but what some other future governor was spared to our state? Here's one more proof of advertising. A baby in the upper end of the city toddled away from home the other day and handed, as usual, in the police station, where the officers waited for some one to telephone and report for a lost child with yellow hair and blue eyes. After four hours, no call had come. "We'll have to send her down to the Children's Society if some one doesn't appear soon," they sighed, "Say," said one rookie on the force. "Did you ever try putting 'em up in the big window. Maybe with that kind of advertising, some one might recognize her." So up went goldilocks with a penned sign above "LOST BABBY". Sympathetic mothers stopped and looked at her regretfully, until suddenly one little girl En route from school, exclaimed, "Why there's the baby from the apartment across the hall from us." And home the lost one went. The Continental Play Company, which had been formed to produce plays that have proved successful in continental Europe, announce, "The Love Market" as its first production. In Paris, it was known as "The Conference." Margot Kelley will head the cast which will present the play next month.

PANTOMIME by J. H. Striebel COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING LEARNING HOW TO STUDY Berkeley (Cal.) Gazette Northwestern University has a new system for the benefit of slow students.

The system may prove useful in LEARNING HOW TO STUDY Berkeley (Cal.) Gazette Northwestern University has a new system for the benefit of slow students. It involves a thorough inquiry into a student's previous school life, health and home conditions, and the help of a private tutor in cases which seem worth it. The system may prove useful in keeping students in college who under a severe regime would be summarily dismissed after a few months. This may be wise, for many a slow student has proved more worth while to society eventually than his more brilliant fellows. But it points to the fact that many students have never learned how to study before they reached college and so have missed the main purpose of public school education. This is not a matter of "homework" entirely. Students who have to prepare all their lessons in school often know better how to study than those who are required to perform long tasks outside. It is a matter of learning to get to work promptly, to concentrate on the job in hand, to stick to it until it is finished. Parents can help greatly by setting small home tasks and requiring their accomplishment with dispatch, undivided attention and accuracy. If homework is required by the school the child should have a proper place, good light and regular, uninterrupted time in which to do it.
