One such j comment is the following from the ' Portland Oregonian: “You cannot make laws that will regulate rainfall, sunshine, or the appetite of the world. Ag a clas- sic illustration of this truism take ; North Dakota, that has tinkered {for years with applied socialism, ;that has known deprivation and | timancial failure, in part due to CHRISTMAS CHARITY Spasmodic poor relief is a relic of the past. cheer such as the Community Christmas idea proposes in Bismarck merely means varying the usual process a little —putting the spirit of the holiday into the giving. Bismarck’s relief work is upon a sound basis and contin- ues throughout the year. No worthy case is neglected. Pauperism is discouraged and often the kind of help that | helps meet is that kind of aid that places the applicant upon his feet and teaches him to care for himself and face his responsibilities. There is nothing so easy to develop in a community as chronic pauperism. Professional mendicants mark for their favor cities of “easy relief.” One of the essential features of charity work is to have giving placed upon a business basis—that does not mean either a soulless kind of giving that puts to scientific scrutiny each application, neither does it mean necessarily endless red tape so dis e that the one in need tires and would rather suffer than sub. mit to the torture of a too rigid investigation. The system practiced by the Bismarck Social Registra- tion Bureau is a happy medium between the two extremes but the careful administration of the office has reduced thi money spent over that of former years but no one worthy of relief has been denied. It is gratifying to know that Christmas giving this year! through the Community Christma that only the worthy will be a be ignored. The Community Christmas idea is one that is worthy of the wholehearted support of the community. idea will be so directed STATING THE FACTS Recently several suggestions have been advanced in v: ous quarters, designed to strip state industrial institutions of false representation to the people, by causing them, in rendering an accounting, to stand on their own legs entirely. An anonymous suggestion is made with reference to the staie hail insurance department, the state bonding fund, and the fund in which public buildings are insured, designed The suggestion arose in connection with information to the effect that demands were to be made on ing in nce fund in 1923, because the maximum tax per acre permitted by law did not yield a sufficient amount to the same end. the legislature to pay the 20 per cent deficit e the hail insu of money. The author of the suggestion holds that the words “State Hail Insurance Department,” and “State Bonding Fund” give rise to misrepresentation. are mutual insurance organizations operated by the state. The names given them and discussion concerning them leads to the belief in the minds of many that the state itself is in the insurance business. The same person sees no objection to the state acting as a trustee to a mutual insurance organ- ization. The point appears to be well taken. SEX MYSTERY The sex of a child can ‘be determined several months be- fore birth, claims a hospital specialist New York. He} says he has forecast the séx of 700 unborn babies, without a single error. His method is by analyzing the blood of the! mother. He claims boys and girls affect their mothers’ blood in different ways. This is extremely difficult to believe. Nature screens most of the future from us for very good reasons. Life = would be dull if we knew everything that lies ahead. Maybe man can rend the veil. But the wisdom of doing it is doubtful. MIRACLE Faith is said to be able to move mountains. But it seems ; unable to prevent fire from burning. A Missouri man walked into a burning building, a roaring furnace, to dem- onstrate, that the Almighty would protect him. He emerged, a torch, burned probably fatally. A majority of this earth’s inhabitants believe in miracles. | But miracles don’t happen except for an important cause. | We are imprisoned by simple laws of cause and effect. Dis. regard of these laws is the root of most of our troubles. Wall Street gets careless when the picking is easy. Again you’re reading news about messenger boys disappear- | ing with large bundles of negotiable securities. One lad vanished with $40,000.

As soon as possible I got there and found something worse than I had ever encountered—my darling, little sister who had always until ‘lately been so gay and so happy had made up her mind she was going mad, and with her usual quickness of judgment and decision, determined to take her own life. Everything has turned into chaos for the moment. Karl was stunned. He could think of nothing except in some uncon- scious way he was to blame. Mother, | too, seemed to feel that possibly she might have prevented it. I could tell neither of these dear ones that how- ever greatly I grieved for the loss of my-sister.

It is not many years since a man’s wealth was the meas- ure of his suécess. His dollars told the story. We believe that achievement is rapidly taking the place of money as the emblem of success. Henry Ford for in- stance, would be rated little less highly if he had only a mod- The people marvel at him rather because ot Steinmetz, of his own choosing, left a very small estate when he died. Money did not concern him. Nor did it ¢ concern his admirers. They cared not that Steinmetz had not accumulated millions. What they admired was his ac- complishment. Rockefeller, senior, used to be famous mainly as the world’s richest man. In time his dollars will be eclipsed by his organizing genius and his wisdom in spending millions for medical research and education. The golden idol is being torn down. In its place is the idol of accomplishment, which is just another name for serv- ice to humanity. } The public is getting wise in still another direction. There’s an increasing comprehension that some of the great- est successes are men who never accumulate a fortune or do anything big enough to get them into the limelight. Take a man handicapped by paralysis or blindness, yet who struggles doggedly and supports himself and family comfortably. Take a man who, by hard work and determin- ation, counteracts inferior ability and gets along reasonably well. Take the average man‘and wife who make just a fair living and educate their children. All these are successes—great successes—in the eyes of Americans today. Success is not.so much a matter of results, but in char- acter and doing the best we can with limited abilities and opportunities. Life is a spiritual gymnasium, not a Klon- dike or prizefight. | IN NEW YORK | New York, Dec. 15.—See-sawing, ed designs in clothes... don up and down Broadway saw Henry| Seeing more and more ers, Miller in evening clothes and imme-| but so far New York has had no diately thought of “The Man in| natural ice.

There is joy in the dawn wiien the skies are red, And’ a joy in the night when the day has fled, There's the peaceful joy of a well earned rest, And the noble joy when we've stood life’s test; There’a the joy of faith, and the joy of love, like a tender dove, When a mother sees with a glad surprise, The love-light spring in her baby’s eyes. to be entrusted with securities or cash.
