HARRIS PR bias | CLASSIFIED ADVERTISMENTS st v i DA Quite the Latest Craze For a Skating Costume +mmflu*m*wm*mflmuwm+mmwm+ THE RAGGEDY STOCKINGS l For weeks preceeding - Christmas charity workers carried on an exten- sive advertising campaign urging T0- ple to fill the little “raggedy stock- ins,” and thus provide Christmas danties for the poor. That there should be “raggedy stockings in a land of “abundance and prosperity” proves a woeful lack of justice in our present order of society. That there are poor children in the richest land on earth—that there are ablebodied, parents in a land of peace and plenty who are unable to supply their own children with the danties that -bring Christmas cheer is a severe indictment against our boasted Chris- tian civilization. Ragged Stockings Remain But Christmas came—and the rag- gedy stockings, supposedly, were filled and the little hearts made happy. for a fleeting moment. Christmas is gone and the raggedy stockings are empty again. . They will remain empty for another long year— until self-styled “good fellows” fill them again. The little treasures have fallen from the holes in the raggedy stockings and the Christmas feast is only a memory—a memory made bitter with the knowledge that the treasures were bestowed by strangers and could last but a day at most. These little tots have gone back to their scantily cupplied tables, to their daily rtruggle with poverty, sickness and cold. “You, whose generosity has given these destitute children a real Christ- mas, have sat down to your own tables joyous in the thot that thru your efforts every child in your town was enjoying some measure of Christmas cheer. Pride Sacrificed No one will question the necessity of charity under the existing condi- tions; no one will question the high motives and the love for humanity which prompts it; neither can any thinking person deny the far-reaching evil which it works both to those who give and those who receive. Little children have bzen made hap- |” py—but at the cost of their pride. Far better for them disaprointment and hunger on a Christmas day, far better for you an unhappy Christmas —if they could reach maturity with| self-respect and proud spirit undaunt- ed. ; . But perhaps the greater harm wrought is to the ceaseless toilers themselves. Their harrowed feelings soothed by the joy of service and the knowledge that they are not spurred to seek the cauze of poverty and to demand social justice. ; Justize Demmanaad Suprose they had sat down to their Christmas feast knowing that thed poor of their ‘town were hungry? Suppose they had bought nice presents for their own. children who must‘ awaken on Christmas morning to cruel disaprpintment. Do you think the. fire in their z¢al would be quenched un- til some measure of justice was at- tained? v All the marvels of invention were created from the necessity of an ex- randing industrial life; and a people whose social conscience is so quicken- ed that they can no longer tolerate charity.will find it a simple problem to establish an order of society found- ed on the principles of ‘ustice, where- in there will be no raggedy stockings nor need of professional “good fel- EXPECTS A MILLION Mrs. H.

Impervious to the wind, a comfortable length and highly durable, these novelties promise to be popular this winter. This glazed leather is also being used for motorcoats, while jaunty little box jackets for the hiker are also beginning to be put up of the same material. Carrying out this fad for beautiful leathers is a spring model of a Norfolk jacket set up in chamois skin. Sport and motor caps of glazed colors are-ap- fur banded. WHEN A MAN VOTES. What is required, at present of a man before he can vote in the Unit- ed States? He must be 21 years old. He muzt be native born or nat- uralized. - In some states he must be able to read (in a few southern states there are additional educational and pwrop- erty qualifications affecting the Ne- gro voters only). That is all. . He is not asked whether he will uze his vote. He is not asked if all men want to vote. He is-not asked if he thinks the ‘pearing on the smart boulevards. They either fit the head, helmet-wise, or are can still be a good father, He is not asked to “remain attract- ive” after he votes. But all such re- quirements and, more are made of women when they aspire to vote.— Katherine Campion in Philadelphia Evening Telegraph. MAY HAVE HER SAY Rudyard Kipling, speaking of wom- en and the great war makes this significant prophecy: “When, you have looked long enough into the faces of the women you are inclined to think that women will Lave a large say in the final ‘terms.
