"We are shekel-mad," he said in substance; "we modern men and women ; even our children have become too sophisticated to believe in Its milk and water myths--" A man who will deliberately and with mafife aforethought sit down before his wheezy old typing machine and whack out mildewed sentiments of that kind, without a single qualifying phrase attached. Is either a born moron or a shameless glutton. Either he came Into the world with light mental luggage or else he wrote that article the day after the Christmas feast •--three helpings of Juicy, brown turkey nestling close to a sugary pyramid of cranberries, fragrant glblet gravy and biscuits--southern style--done to a golden turn; a feast in which a steaming. raisin-studded and splce-pplked plum pudding played a stellar role.

(And serve them right.) And we'll let them screech, "Humbug! Humbug!" as loudly as they choose--once they are safely strung up. This would be a sad world, indeed, were It not for the other kind of folk. Thanks be to the gods that have kept alive the beautiful, child-like, generous spirit of them--those wonderful ores, ever young, ever remembering, though their heads be as silver, who believe In Christmas; who believe in Santa Claus, In little laughing children; ]p friendship's vows renewed; who believe In making thft eyes of the best beloved to shine like the Christmas stars themselves. And here are three lnsty cheers for the men and women who stand boldly forth and stoutly maintain that "Ole Chrls'mus" has changed not one Jot or tittle throughout the ages--that It will never change as long as childhood lasts man beings were sacrificed upon the altars to Thor and Oden. The Goths und Saxons called this the festival of Yule. The Teutons selected a huge tree which they raised amid much chanting and shouting, In honor of the god of the sun. Bright objects and lights ««re placed In its branches to represent the Sight of day, the moon and stars. Animals were fastened to the branches, historians say, that the pagan gods might be propitiated In favor of their savage worshipers. So we know that the Christmas celebrations were not In the beginning of religious slgnitionnce. But with Christianity's dawn the many old customs that remained were given a religious symbolism. There are a number of our present-day customs that are picturesque and Interesting because of their great antiquity. When we tramp Into the winter woods and bring home loads of scarlet- berried holly and mistletoe we are merely following In the footsteps of our pagan ancestors. When we wreathe our doorsills and windows with the beautiful, wax) white clusters of mistletoe, when we ornament the mahtle above the bright Are with Its darkgreen clusters we are but unconsciously repeating the pagan custom of old when the Druids, the ancient priests, performed their mystical rites upon their forest altars. The cutting, and burning of the Yule log Is, today, as Important as a feature of the Christmas celebrations of the manor homes of "Merrle England" as It was before the world knew the DOES "PERFECT MAN" SHINE AS HUSBAND? Writer Throw* Out a Few Ideas on the Subject. "^/7n\v^ Carols Sung by Waits Who Went From House to House. meaning of a true Christian observance of the season. The cheery, heartening salutation "Merry Christmas!" originated in England. This greeting has never been known to fail In bringing a smile to even the most woe-begone countenance. And*an English Christmas Is, Indeed, a wonderful thing to experience. Even the very tales of the Englishman's Yuletlde make our hearts beat faster and our Imaginations run riot. The time has not yet arrived when Dickens' "Christmas Carol" with Its descriptions of the Christmas market stalls with their long rows of hanging geese decorated with bunches of sage and onions, of tarts, puddings and sweetmeats will lose Its delicious charm and mouth-watering powers. Ihave heard It said that a perfectly happy borne depends more on a good husband than on a good wife, a writer In the Washington Post, who hides his Identity under the initials "E. G. On" remarks. Certainly, the man who does his beat to make his wife happy in a thoroughly conscientious manner will find her much brighter and prettier In her matronhood than when she was a girl, and the man who knows how to keep his wife young looking has solved a presslng matrimonial problem. Of course, every woman hn her own opinion about what constitutes a good hussbnnd. 1 know a husband who Is as nearly perfect as a man can be. He never frowns at additional housekeeping expenses; he never stays late at the office; he belongs to no club, and steadfastly refuses to admit that there are other women in the world besides? his wife. His very perfections almost drive her insane. The perfect man is seldom the perfect husband. Certain lovable qualities in a hardened sinner will keep his wife a willing slave until she dies. Sympathy should be the strong point of the perfect husband. Instead of displaying a complacent Indifference to her moods--all wives are moody sometimes--he should endeavor to Interpret them. If, for Instance, she appears a trifle quieter than usual, he should take warning, and try tactfully to discover the reason. At a time like this many husbands merely shrug their shoulders and say, "Another phase; It will pass off In time,** whereupon their wives Justly complain that their husbands fail to understand them. The man who is really anxious for his wife's happiness will realise that if he plays hard golf all day long he Is going to be tired and sleepy In the evening, and will be therefore a dull companion for her. Instead of the quiet of an evening at home being broken only by the tap of his pipe against the fender, he should talk to his wife with something of the ardor and interest of engagement days. The quiet fireside is an Idyl of married life to which every home-iovlng man looks forward; but too much quietness leads to monopoly and boredom, and monotony and boredom are the playing grounds of the devil. The so-called "man of the world" often makes a good husband, his experience in feminine matters making him a past master at the art of pleasing a woman. He Is seldom at a loss for a ready compliment, and when his wife, wearing an atrocious new gown, asks what he thinks of her appearance, his Immediate answer Is, "My dear, you look charming." Perhaps the best husband Is he who has sown his wild oats, and who is as attractive and attentive at home as he is In company of admiring friends. If his wife makes herself indispensable to him, as nil wives should, he will appreciate her to the full, and, abow all. will often tell her so. Redwood Grove Memorial to , Franklin K. Lanm Tlie spirit of the late Franklin K. Lane was Invoked at the dedication of the Redwood grove In his memory at Kettlntelbe, In Humboldt county, California, recently. He loved the great forests of the Pacific coast and In hla official capacity had occasion to turn this love Into the channels of protection. says the New York Times. Mr. Lane was an apostle of the parkat seeking to preserve, enlarge and Improve the lands set aside by state and nation for the enjoyment of future generations. To him the great stretches of wilderness were spots to be saved. But at the same time they were, as he put It, a challenge to man. "Master me! Put me to use 1 Make me something more than I am!" were the words In which he described the challenge of the wilderness. And in response to it he sought to show the people of the countfy how much could be added to the available regions by the love and thought of man. It was not enough for him that they were preserved. They must also be made accessible. The redwood grove dv*dlcated In bis memory Is only a Small tract--195 acres. It adjoins the Humboldt state redwood park, In the heart of one of the finest remaining r^dwodd regions, and Itself contains unusually splendid specimens of this giant tree. More common than Its cousin, the sequoia glgantea, or "big tree," it has also been subject to greater destruction. It attains neither the weight nor the age of the big trees, but Is often taller. Where the giant sequoias reach a diameter of 35 feet, the redwoods rarely exceed ten feet. John Mulr has estimated the age of some of the biggest specimens of sequoias at between 3,000 and 4,000 years, whereas few redwoods have been found over 1,400 years of age. The worst enemy of the redwood, as of the big trees, Is man, insects and other pests being unable to attack tl^e large specimens, and even fire more often than not leaves them unscathed, owing to the thick bark and tough nature of the wood. The greed of man, however. Is insatiable. Against this the only effective protection is control by state or national bureaus. Travelers In the '80s and "90s describe the ruthless destruction of these giant forests by lumberers, who used methods so wasteful that often two-thirds of a tree was unfit for use.

In the world, as long as family ties bind and friendship's faith remains. Bless their loving hearts! Christmas was surely meant to be a season of Joy and laughter, as well as one In which we glorify the birth of the blessed Savior. Throughout the centuries a spirit of revelry has marked the tide of Yule. The observance of an annual season of merrymaking dates back even farther than the advent of Christianity. It Is said that long ere the birth of the Babe of Bethlehem the ancient pagans celebrated a yearly feast' near the winter solstice. Romans called this the Saturnalia. It was marked with much winedrlnklng, dancing and eating. In the ancient countries of the North huge flres were kindled and as their leaping flames si <>! skyward bufrail, small lingers clasping his spoon and repeating honest Bob's blessing as he gazed upon his adoring family-- "God bless us, every one!"

Cer> tain It Is that we. In our own land, did not hrfve our brightly decorated trees until after the German Immigrant arrived. Quaint old' English carols that are still sung are: "God Rest You, Merry Gentlemen," "Good King Wencesles" and "The Holly and Ivy." These were sung by the waits who went from house to house in the old days. A whple book could be made Interesting by recounting the customs of the ancient carol singers of the different landa In connection with the Christmas candle which has been used as a beautiful symbol In many countries from ancient days to the present It Is interesting to know that even the gypsies, those wandering, mysterious vagabonds of unknown origin and self-confessed paganism, have a legend about a burning candle that was 6et at a certain season to light the way of a mother and child across the darkness of a desert land. This legend is to be found somewhere In an old book--perhaps It was recounted by George Borrow-- but the writer of these lines h»MI been unable to locate It again.

At that time It was an easy-going little city of less than 10,000 Inhabitants, covering only a few square miles of ground. The Akron of today as compared with 53 years ago is vastly different, says the India Rubber Review. The city now covers more than 25 square miles. It has a population In excess of 200,000. Its many rubber and tire factories employ more than 50,000 persons. More than 50 per rent of all rubber tires made In the world are products of Akron factories. The value of the output of tires and other rubber products exceeds $500,000,000 a year. Compared to the first rubber factory of half a century ago, run by water power, Akron's rubber factories of today consume more than 500,000 horsepower of steam and electrical energy every 24 hours.

Origin of the Veil No modern bride is "obliged" to wear a veil. The significance of the custom has quite died out Originally It was worn because no man was supposed to see his wife until after his marriage with her, and the veil was the girl's protection until they wereactually wedded.
