Thrift is recognized as a strength- ener of individuals or nations Wise men everywhere say it is a character- builder. Typical expressions from four of the world’s leading thinkers show just why a thrifty person wins respect, as well as ease and position. Theodore Roosevelt: — “‘Extrava- rots characte train youth away from it. On other hand, the habit of saving money, while it stiffens the will, also brightens the energies. If you are sure that you are beginning right, begin to save.” Thomas Edison:—*"The time is com- ing when every man who lays claim to business ability will keep the question of waste before him constantly. David Starr Jordan Thrift s a the determination to live with a margin for future advancement; to earn a little more than one spends or to spend a little less than one earns, getting meanwhile the value in strength, in satisfaction or in other worthy returns for the money one feels free to spend.” Sir Thomas Lipton:—“I have often been asked to define the true secret of success. It Is thrift in all its phases, and principally thrift so ap- piled to saving. Saving is the first t principal of all successes. It creates independence, it gives a young man standing, it fills him with vigor, it stimulates him with the proper nergy, in fact it brings to him the better part of any suce happiness and contentment.” COMMUNICATED Di Nonno Asks A Few Questions of the Coun Editor of The Herald: Dear Sir-——Commenting on your timely editorial, T ask permission to touch upon certain phases of the question of the “Ice Contract” of sufficient importance to put a differ- ent aspect other than mere question of the granting of the contract which with me is secondary. I am not going to discuss for the present the manner of the chairman of the water board in the handling 4f this matter. Let me affirm that very few people have any conception of the invaluable experience and in- gight I have gained of the working of the machinery of our ecity govern- ment in re; ds to the “ice contract.” All public spirited citizens should take more than passive interest in muni- | cipal affairs. Getting down What 1 would orable Common to the issue, like to ask the hon- Council i by what line of reasoning did it arrive at the conclusion that resulted in passing upon the contract as it did? Did the members acquaint selves of facts pertinent to the ter before forming an dpinion? Did they investigate and determine whether or not statements made to them econcerning the prior contract holder were correct? In what way have the Baile invested $1 that the city ally obliged to consider? On what capital invested did they carn this $16,000? (Facts show that they failed to keep all conditions of payments as agreed the first two years | of their tenure, owing to the lack of | capital.) Did any of council ever visit them- mat- Bros. s mor- 000 the members of the City lece Plant and note in what condition the ice house, gallery, run, machinery, ete., are in, and fearlessly demand that city property be better maintained and not allowed to depreciate without Caus the Has any individual, firm or corpora- tion the exclusive right to public con- tracts? Did tents of ed and Mr. the council know of the contract that it passed ? ditor, to show you how im- partial T am and that T am interested only in “fair play” and that I have no animus against either the Baileys or their champions, T will submit to your that If the foregoing | queries arc answered satisfactorily by any members of the Common Council and if answers are found fust, by you upon investigation of facts; I will at your notice withdraw my rights and the asus Bellf.” the con- amend- decision such remove Concerning the equity of the matter it is a matter of public knowledge that the Water Board advertised for bids and if they made a “faux pas” in doing so let them explain. I bid and the Bailey Bros did likewise, If the latter were within their legal and ‘moral rights, why did they bld? Why didn't they take the stand on such grounds and go before, the water board at the moment théy noticed the board's call for bids? I am at all times prepared to dis- cuss the matter and debate the issue with no motive in view other than to give the matter a public airing. Respectfully yours, JOHN F. DI NONNO.

CHRISTMAS SALES ARE VERY LARGE New York Stores do Greater Volume of Business Than in 1919 or 1920. New York, Dec. 24.—Christrhas iles by department stores in and around New York this year have ex- ceeded these for either 1920 or 1919 it is shown in a summary issued by the Federal Reserve Bank of this distri The data was collected from 16 representative stores. Although prices this year were re- ported lower than those prevail- ing last December, the sales from December 1 to December 20 this year were per cent larger in dollar values than those of the corresponding per- fod of 1920, and 2 per cent larger than the sales during the first weeks in December, 1919. Merchants re- port that medium priced merchan- dise was generally in greated demand than the more expensive or the cheap- er grade, and that there was an in- crease in the sales of practical and useful articles and toys. Sales of Jewelry and other luxuries remained about the same. The annual shoplifters’ festivaj which is celebrated in New York's big department stores in the Xmas season was not as successful this year, police statistics demonstrated. I'ewer dep- redations of the light-fingered gentry were reported, due it was sald to the vigilance of the stores mutual proteo- tive association organized two years ago. The highest number of arrests for one day this season was 25, SEIZED RUM 12 STOLE: INCE AFTER COX RALD Boston, Dec. 24.—O0On top of United States Attorney Harris' charge that liis private papers had been rifled in connection with the liquor raid Tues- day night at the dinner to Gov. Cox came the announcement from Prohi- bition Supervisor Wilson that the liquor sefzed in the rald had been stolen. 300 MIDSHIPMEN STALLED. Fail to Get High Enough Rating for Christmas Leave, Annapolis Diec. 24.—About 300 of the 2,300 midshipmen will not be able to take Christmas leave, as they did not obtain the rating in their studies which was the condition of the privie lege. The others will have the long- est Christmas vacation ever given to midshipmen. The leave for the successful stue dents was begun this morning and will last until study perfod on the night of New Year's Day. JWISH FESTIVAL J Hanukkah HWappens to Begin at Sune set on Christmas This Year. New York, Dec. 24.—Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of lights, happens to hegin at sunset Xmas night thls vear, and Jewish families throughout the world will celebrate with the lighting of candles, feasting and the giving of presents. Fach night for a week a candle will be adjusted in the Menorah or seven branched candle- stick, which every Jewish family owns The lights of Hanukkah are sym- bholic of the eruse of sacred oil which was found in the temple after the heathens were driven out by the Mac- cabes, and which kept burning a miraculous length of time until fresh oil could be procured. e e
