CIRCULATION WEEK ENDING DEC. Z3rd, 1922 11,950 CHRISTMAS. Christmas doesn't vary from year to year. It is the same Christian festival that has been celebrated for centuries and which will continue to be obeetved by increasing numbers as the years go by. Theré may be years when con- ditions have their effect upon the cele- bration, when there are great numbers who feel the pinch of poverty, when it is certain Santa Claus cannot be asgen- erous, when in some ways it seéms as ¥ the Christmas spirit is bound to fa! below rather -than gise above the nor- mal, but happily the true Christmas spirit isn’t dependént upon such things. The message of Christmas day is in- tended for ali men, for all times, for all conditions of existence. It is In fact the old story that always holds good. There is nothing new to be said, but every- thing old to keep and to culttvate. It is the spirit of Christmas that lives on and gives new inspiration. it was long ago that the star o Bethlehem guided the wike men, but it contifines to strengthen the faith and 1o guide the footsteps of a large. proportion of humanity. Whatever - other condi- tions may be, the Christmas spirit, the spirltual reality connected with _the birth of Christ is constant and the hobe that is engendered by it is everlasting. The Christmas seasop capnot fail to remind us what immense powers for good came into the world with the bire of a single baby, .It is an anniversary that reminds us of what the gospel of Christ has done for human soclety through the long years and what it will continue to do. This year tne angels’ song at the first Christmas “Glory to God in the highest and on earth pedce and goodwill toward men"—ought to have just thé sameé far reaching, soul inspiring meaning that it always has had, BUTLERS CONFIRMATION. For what appears to have been ro good reason there was a_considerable delay A thé confirmation of Pierce But- ler as an associate justice of the United States supréme court. Justics Butler was named by Prosi- dent Harding afer othérs had been prominéntly mentioned in the gossip eiirrounding the filling of the vacancy. Ho was named after having received the endorsement of Chief Justice Taft wnd becguse it was felt that he possess- td the proper qualification for the posi- tion, regardless of the fact tha he had not previously held a plaés on the bench. He was picked for a pldce in the highest court in the land on the basis of ablifty, and he was ofiposed by those who particlpated i the.apposition on the ground hat His ability técofn'tioh from certiin iatge ralll Rnd he had been employed by thém. That doesn't dlsquality him for_efii- ¢iéent servite on the supreme court bench any more than the fact that he s a democrat. He has proved to ce quite as capable a lawyer when fighting against corporations &s when fighting for them, This was cledrly demon- strated during the service fhat he ten- fderéd for the goveriiment when engaged by Attorney General Wickershdm to as- sist the departmeént of justice. His record is sich as to make it ger- tain that no mistike has béen . made i hi§ selection, and the oppoBition dis- ,Dlayed doesn't in any way serve 1o changs the opinfori that the president has made a wise selection. He will come !o the beich at a time when thers is ity of business befors the court, The nfllh in its.quick conftrmation follow- tng the committee report clears the way for filling the other yacdncy cansed by the resigridtion of Jestive Pitney be- tause of sickness, It thus ought to . but a short time before the handicad ander which the supreme conrt hasbesn working because of a shortage of jus- Hees is overcome, One thing beGomes - &pparent #s the tesult of the confirmation of Justice Butler, and that is that thosé who fouglhit to prevent his confirmation Made. very little impression Hpok the meém- bérs of the senats, et i s PISTOL REGULATIONS.

New York has had its law with a severe penalty for possession of fire- arms, but it has not kept pistols away from the criminals. They are not omly able to get them from other cities, but they are able to employ the mail for such purposes and strange. as it may seem there are judges who are willing to issue permits to possess firearms to men who have had a long career of crime. Under such conditions those who respect the jaw are denied the re- volver that might protect them agai criminals unless they can obtain a_per mit, but those for whom such a law !s really intended do not lack for the nec- essary firearms to carry on heir work. That is one of the troubles that the proposed District of Columbia law s very Lkely to run up against if enact- ed, MAKING NEW RECORDS. When Teports come from postofficas, others as well as the local, that Christ- mas business has reached a new level this year it of course reflects the ecun- ditions existing. This wouldn’t be che case if there was a large amount of un- employment, if people were not, well pald and if they did not consider th= outlodk most favorable. Christmas business serves as a basis for judging the conditions that are prevailing. From the way in which the postoffices are clogged during the few days befors Christmas it does not appear that there is that cooperation on the part public that there might be. Urging the people to do their mailing early, quite the same as the plea for early shopping, has its good effects upon certain onet but it s difficult to get away from that habit of procrastination and lettlng things go until the last minute under the belief that everything will go righ® somehow, And this in spite of yéars of experience which show what serious congestion is caused by just such wait ing, and which also shows that if every- thing does get through it 15 only be- cause of the extra and necedless burdsn that is thrown upon a comparative few. People will exclaim oyer the overloaded carriers but next year to make it different, With the Christmas mail breaking all records it is to be inferred that that is the verdict for Christmas business 'n general, The amount of mail is an un- failing barometer of business. That the Christmas funds, the distribution of bonuses, good wages have been a stimu- lant to trade activity and the establish- ment of a new postal record seems evi- dent, but # of course all indicates the general improvement in industrial and business conditions. they 2o mothing SHORT TERM BUSINESS. At the short session of congress the holidays are always responsible for ths loss of much time. By the action of congTess in cutting the vacation short this year there is indicated a2 willing-| on ness to utilize the time in un endeavor to dispose of the business before it. President Harding called the special sesslon of congress for the purpose of relleving the demands upon congress at this time, and as the result of it the house completed its consideration of the subsidy matter. Efforts to obstruct have been encountered, but 'they havs not been carried to the extent of suc- cessfully demanding the usual recess. Progréess has been made fa moving along the appropriation bills and other lagislative matters have been advanced because of the extra session.. Much furthier assistance should be given to the business in hand by the recess car- tailment provided there is displayed the disposition that the country has a rigat to expect from those sent to Washing- ton to do their law making, Congress can, it it will, give its car: ful consideration to the bills awaiting action and clean up the work before the. out delaying the bulk of it until the last day, to be played with. There is Nho reason why matters should be left for the next congress to deal with and they will not be, if the proper attitude is taken toward those who are manip® lating matters to such a result. Perhaps it is too much to expect that polftical leaders will give their close attention to the work at hana and nat Pay. attention to expediency ana future elections, but it comes far from creat- ing a good impression fipon tne country ‘when __there is intentional biocking of progress. It is to be hoped tne cartaii- ed recess can bé interpreted as meaning that such a policy is not going to_be tolerdted or followed but that the "Hma i$ going to be Well employed. EDITORIAL NOTES.

Here is a bit of advice that an expert florist gives with regard to the care of fe.us: N < A shuple rule to observe in watering ferns is to water thoroughly when soil is dry. If, by rapping with knaockles on ! the container near the base, a solid sound is produced, the soil is dry. Submerge the entire container in a basin of water until the soil is thorougnly scaked. Con- stant, steady watering often soaks the top layer only and causes the soil to become stagnant and. sour. Opportunjty must e given for drying out after each ! watering to keep the soil sweet and pure. To keep ferns growing and in good condition, fertilizer s necessary. Ferns ag well as other plants shouwld be re- potted. March and April are the best months for repotting. BLOOMEE FROCKS. . For the wee girl as practical as they are pretty come little handsome bloom- er frocks of fine crepe. They are im- ' fitt ported from England and come in differ- ent colors, with touches of smocking ahd drawn work for decoratiof. HEALTH AND BEAUTY, Execcise is very jmportant. Just after the morning bath is a splendid time to run through a few simple but not strenu- ous exercises. Baths ought not. to_be taken too hot, and should be followed by a brisk rub-down afterwards. It is a mistake for women to suppose that the housework they do provides then w.h sufficient exercise to keep them in good health without any forther strenuous action. Cut out & pléce of pasteboard to cover the medicine tumbler, adhesive for a hinge, a very | convenient cover fastened to tumbler.

KEEP HERLS IN OEDER. decorative budflr New versions of the strap pump, however, are proving strong rivals of the Coloniale. Skirts for strest wear are being made eight inches from the ground. This seems to be the favored length. Sports types for southern wear are making thelr appearance in the shops. Printed crepes and pongees are promi nent. ' White with color, shades of gold. brown and blue are good. Three-piece suits are seen in the smart variety, Among the new models are navy cloth an dblack gaufre satin. The satm mikes the bodice and is cut with ragian sleeves. A fringed collar and cuff set is made of heavy white silk and of heavy white linen, The fringer is formed by pulling the threads, as was used to do In the tea napkins years-2go. The veil is worn a great deal some- times draped over the hat and sometimes tied just over the eyes. This, too, fre- quently matches the fur, Brocaded and silver. slippers are word with evening gowns of any description and material. A xnitted woolen scarf i§ seasopably ‘colorful if Roman stripes are used, A plain angora scarf can be gmbroidered, gayly, too, with yarn embroidery. SWEATEES A-BE SHAGGY The shaggy wool sweater need not be a garment of only rudimentary consid- eration in point of style. ~The present great vogue for such sweaters has fos- tered a refinement of style that recom- mends. the mode for wear that is more gameel than the rough outdoors. Two,_good novelties in this develop- ment were noted in a group of new. num- bers in one collection. One done in ma- hogany featured a side fastening, reach- g only to the bustline, topped by a standing collar. Buttons and a smooth worsted edge accented this feature. A belt was worn with this sweater. The second was in.camel’s hair color, featuring a novel closiag. It was double breasted, the three pairs of buttons be- ing placed unusually low. A convertible collar was also in evidence on this model, and the use of a finish on all the edges | of & plajn worsted banding added afother detall that was smart. COATS REVEL IN CoLom The Bible historians were not explicit in stating the Jength of Josebh's coat—all we know is that it was of many colo Whether it was short or full length is not clearly stated, otherwise the .most popular and modish coat of the moment could be entirely likened to the most cel- ebrated coat of colar.

Mr. Editor: I have read with more than common interest the letters be-| tween Mr. Coffey and Mr. Capell, and l believe Mr. Coffey is right, as Mr. Ca- pell's letter is confusing indeed when compared with Scripture. He says sickness, pain and death are not real If that is the case then we Wwill have to discard the teachings of the Blble, and Christ's teachings with the rest, for| His apostles were His mouthpleces after | He ascended to the Father. And the 21st chapter of Revelation says tnat when the new heavens, and the new earth (order of things) are come, then God will wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, mor erying, neither shall there be any more pain, for the former things are passed away, the Bible teaches such a state all the tions. Now, if those things &re not real { then we who bear them must be unreal. I had hip disease when 2 child and still suffer with it. Do Christian Scientists mean to say I am not lame?
