The question is fqplish, almost as foolish as the attempts to answer it. Thanksgiving r.i'oans gratitude, and there is probably no man alive who does not hold ingratitude to be one of the blackest sins. (3T course, there can be no gratitude except as it is shown not only for something but to some orie. Therefore, observes a writer in the Indianapolis News, it is that the thought of Thanksgiving^ necessarily implies the existence of a Divine Giver and Blenefactor. So we are bidden to return thanks to Almighty God as "the Giver of every good and perfect gift." When there seems to be a scarcity of gifts one is teriVpted to ask the question,- why be thankful? Arid that is a question which every one must answer for himself, and it will be answered as it always has been, in different ways» It is futile to catawhat we know to be blessings and what we believe to be anything but blessings, and, set off one list against the other, and be thankful an proportion as the good exceeds the evil. Carlyle long ago showed us the folly of the bookkeeping method as applied to things spiritual. Probably most people get out of life about what they deserve and in proportion to what they put into it. It seems to be true that the most thankful people are those who have the least. On the other hand, those who are surfeited with good things take them as matters of course, as their due, and so calling for no gratitude.

The day is rather a recognition, less of a duty than of an opportunity which it would be or might be fatal to neglect. "Be ye thankful" is an apostolic command. It ought to be easy to obey. Those men are nearest the truth who feel that in this life nothing is due them, and that whatever they get is in a very true sense a gift, and one which may be far beyond their deserts. So we are called to keep another Thanksgiving day, which should bring an outpouring of not only thankful but kindly hearts. Appropriate to the day is.

A hot south wind was parching the earth and shriveling the corn in the fields, It was a New England summer day. Betty Humphrey leaned forward Jf free her sheer silk dress from sucky clutch of the roadster's black leather cushions. "Dan, dear, we've been driving for seven hours. Let's stop in the next shady place and cool off. I don't see what fun it is to go on a vacation in the country and then drive every minute ofr<he time." Dan Humphrey chuckled. "Well, ®eS?> seems to me it was you who issued orders for the vacation. If you say stop, stop it is." He pushed in the clutch and the roadster glided to rest in the shade of-a giant elm. "Want to get out and stretch your legs?" he cont i n u e d . " T h e r e ' s a f a r m h o u s e across the fields.

Betty, however, was a Texas girl only recently come East. To her tian'a mother's home had been -almost fl 1 fairyland. She gasped in admiration at the "bannister-back" chairs and the "grandfather's" clock in the hallway and went into ecstasies over the blue "Staffordshire" dishes and the "Liverpool" tea set in the dining room. It was her enthusiasm which- had kindled Dan's interest, and the two had spent hours together in the Boston library poking over volumes " about antiquies and old china. But it was without much hope that Dan now ascended some stone steps at the back of the house and knocked vigorously on a screen door. There was no response. "Guess it's no use, Bets, nobody home." He peered inside. "Gee, and there's an old high-boy in there, sure as shooting!" Betty mounted the steps and flattened her nose on the screen. "Oh! Dan, it's an old one; just look at those lines! Oh! I- wish we could look at it!" In her excitement Betty pulled at the screen door, which swung open. "Let's go in and look at it anyway; there's nobody here and I've got to see it," whispered Betty. She seized Dan's hand and dragged him protestingly into the house. Lovingly Betty ran her hand over the polished walnut, and fondled the brass pulls with reverent touch. "Better beat it before the family turns up," said Dan uncourageously. "But Dan, look at those brass handles; they'd be just perfect for that swell - front bureau of your mother's -- those she has on it now are reproductions the antique man said. I wonder if these people would care if we took them? We c o u l d l e a v e s o m e m o n e y -- f i v e dollars -- which is a lot more than they should be worth. The people would probably be tickled to death." "Why, Bets, that's ordinary stealing" "I don't care if it is, Dan Humphrey. I'm .going to have those handles!" Betty pulled open one of the drawers ever so slightly and started to loosen the nuts which held the handle in place. Dan stood by disapprovingly. "Hurry, -Dan, and help me! Suppose those people came back now and caught me in the midst of this! You'd be'just as guilty as I am!" Betty handed him the four handles she had already loosened. Several hours later a little roadside antique shop lured them into its cool intriguing depths.'

Tavern of Fame One of the famous English taverns associated with Charles Dickens is the Six Jolly Fellowship- Porters of "Our Mutual Friend." It was the favorite resort of Rogue Riderhood and Gaffer Hexam, and stands in Limehouse. Now it is known as the Grapes; in Dickens' time it was the Bunch of Grapes. It is no wider than its front door, recalling Dickens' description that it was like a "handle of a flat iron set upright on its broadest end."

MAnrofcArtt NEW SHAKESPEARE SHRINE IS PUNNED Would Rebuild Theater and , , r * . ""-'I . . • ' Page fhrii Old layem. New York.--Many Americans are evincing much interest in the proposed memorial to William Shaken speare in London, as a result of the recent visit of F. C. Owlett, organ-, izing secretary of the Globe-Mermaid association which is sponsoring the^pfoject. The; organization's officers have been chosen from both the United States and Great Britain. Its Eftglish president is the Earl of Derby and the American is Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia university. The enterprise has been undertaken because its promoters believe it is appropriate that due recognition should be given to the fact that the working creative life of the great dramatist arid poet of the English-speaking peoples was passed in the British metropolis. It is hoped by the new association that the London memorial will prove to be as much of a shrine as is that in StratforS-on-Avon. Although the world refess to Shakespeare so much as the Bard of Avon and adopts Ben Johnson's name for him as the S^ren of Avon, it is recalled that the English town knew only the morning arid the sunset of the dramatist's life. tJven after Shakespeare had retired to Stratford he kept up his connections with LC*£sr., £rcperty there and revisited the city Scenes of his eventual career. The project is triple. It contemplates the rebuilding on one site of the Globe theater where Shakespeare's plays were produced; the reproduction of the famous Mermaid Taverrt, where he and his contemporaries met socially**and the founding of an Elizabethan 'library and museum. An option on ground in the "heart of Shakespeare's London" ^ias been obtained. The association announces that for £200,- 000 the site can be secured and that the complete scheme--including the acquisition of land and the construction-- will cost $2,000,000. Subscriptions have been obtained on both Washington Washington, November 25 -- There is more than the breath of suspicion attached to the growing conviction that President Roosevelt's South American trip is a double-decked diplomatic move in which international affairs are subordinated. While ostensibly traveling to establish an era of good feeling among Latin American republics, Mr. Roosevelt rides the high seas remote from the hair-pulling and scratching among his lieutenants and camp followers--which is smart politics. From a practical diplomatic viewpoint, the Presidents't voyage was not necessary. His good-will mission offered a grand excuse for a vacation after a strenuous campaign and a chance to think about the future away from insistent pleaders and bountyseekers. i During his overseas trip the Chief Executive is,temporarily, at least, far from the\twbW4nt post-election strife. The attempted domination of trade unions in our economic and political life is slowing down* the essential co- P*esidertt. Rather than be placed between the upper and lower grindstone the majority of business men" will watch on the sidelines until, the Presi dent himself sounds the call for cooperation. The rustling of the leaves along the grapevine of politics whisper th* return of Donald R. Richberg- to a high place in the Administration. Formerly general counsel and then head of N. R. A., Richberg has gained the respect of the President and business groups by his realistic studies of the relations of government to business and vice versa. He gained renown as counsel to railway. workers' unions, but was never considered happy with radical union leaders, who infested the Blue Eagle's nest for two years. It is known that Richberg still ranks high among White House advisers. This relationship gives support to the report he will find a berth in the Cabinet or as chief coordinator of groups within and without the government interested in economic plan-, ning. Some ultra-conservative indusrial chieftains would probably resent the Richberg reunion with the New Deal as' *ould the politically-ambitious among labor leaders. The facts are that this attorney has jockeyed himself into a position with the less militant groups in industry and labor so that he is presumably ideal for Mr. Roosevelt's purposes of obtaining active c»-operation on a national economic policy. Because the weather plays p.n im-% tivity involving life and death of individuals and the preservation and destruction of property. Scientific progress has' been made in predicting weather so that the batting average of the daily reports has impressed the public. Researchers have been able to utilize the air-mass analysis to reduce the uncertainty of forecasts. Floods and storms have forced an intensive study of long-range weather reports. Of particular interest is the statement that science, will soon make seasonal outlooks reliable "having a probability of success of 7 out of 10 and possibly 8 out of 10 cases."

Globe Theater Built in 1598. The Globe theater in Southwark, on the south bank of the River T h a m e s , w a s b u i l t i n 1 5 9 8 , a n d burned in 1613, three years before Shakespeare's death. It was in this historic playhouse that he was engaged as dramatist, actor and manager. The restoration will be as near as possible to the original site. The Globe was a tall structure for> its time, hexagonal in. form, andi most of its top was open to the sky. The "quality" of the audience were seated on the stage or in the galleries. The stage took up much Oi the courtyard at the first floor and in the pit "pl^in people" or the groundlings stood* or squatted, as there were no seats provided for them. There was no scenery in Shakespeare's day, and indicated localities were marked simply by signs such as "this is a forest." The painted scenery of the English stage seems to have been introduced about 1650. A restored Globe theater would therefore be on the most primitive pattern. There survive many old engravings of it which would be a fairly good guide to the architects intrusted with its twentieth century reproduction. Rebuilding of the Mermaid tavern would be largely on conjectural lines as little is known of its exterior appearance. There are available, however, many drawings of Tudor taverns of the period and some of those structures themselves survive. The noted hostel probably was built in the Fifteenth century and there is a definite mention of it under date of 1464 in "The Expenses of Sir John Howard." It was situated in Bread street, Cheapside. At the Mermaid in 1603 Sir Waltef Raleigh founded a small club, the place being a meeting place for the literary men. Among the celebrities, according to tradition, were Shakespeare, Ben Johnson, Christopher Marlowe, Beaumont, Fletcnef and Dekker. , A suppositious gathering of this circle is shown in a painting by John Fraed. a Scotch artist, which now hangs in the Corcoran Art Gallery in Washington. Museum to Adjoin Two Units. It is announced that when the restoration is complete the walls of the Mermaid will be hung with tapestries from the looms of the period. The staff of the tavern is to be dressed in the garb of Shakespeare's time and visitors who call for it will be regaled with the substantial fare of the days of "Good Queen Bess." In its prime the tavern was noted for the excellence of its Canary wine and for the scintillating wit of its talented patrons. > Joined with the two buildings proposed would be the museum and library, in which it is intended there shall be authentic furniture and decorations of the Elizabethan period, and important books and manuscripts. The whole site, ac-" cording to the prospectus of the association, will be surrounded with trees, shrubs and flowers brought from Shakespeare's corner of Warwickshire. The landscaping suggests the same idea as that shown in the Shakespeare Garden in Central park. First Apendicitis Operation The first case of localized appendicitis on record was operated cm and reported by Mestivier in 1759, and the pathological appearances were clearly described in the autopsy. •w Ike John Muir Trail The John Muir Trail is in the Higb Sierras in California. This trail was named after John Muir, a naturalist and explorer, born in Scotland in 183S, who lived most of .feis ttte i America by the skepticism as to its "official" rating. It seems that Major Berry fonded a pro-Roosevelt political party among labor unions for the duration of the election contest. Now it is openly established as a "labor «partyw suspected of plotting the election of John L. Lewis for the Presidency in 1940. Lewis and his wing are at odds with the An\erican Federation of Labor over.vital principles of organization. With Berry and Lewis in cahoots for political domination, the sentiment among A. F. of L. leaders is for a boycott of the Berry gathering. Business and industrial spokesmen do not believe it is safe or sane to perticipate in the Berry meeting because of the uncertainty. If the A. F. of L. remains away, employers will be in a bad spot of trafficking with the Berry- Lewis wing of labor. Then, too, it iR almost impossible for such a conference to discuss anything but labor legislation. Endorsement ef the program would handicap their relations with the A. F. of L. There is also the risk the Major will not have White House support--a probability which would make the position of those industrialists somewhat untenable if Lewis and Berry break with the HO EXTRA COSTA BOT-PMOr STOR SflS Combination STORm DOORS A great value!

And so again at this Thanksgiving teuon we say, "Thank you, Amenda," for you have given Chevrolet a measure of good-will without parallel in the an^gjb of modern industry. Consider, for a moment, all that you have done to inspire Chevrolet *s appreciation during the past twelve months: You have purchased 1,130,000 Chi**: rqlets; you have made Chevrolet yotfr favorite car for the seventh time in the past ten years; you have given Chevrolet fltoing preference in every seotion of the CHEVROLET MOTOR COMPANY, DETROIT, MICHIGAil country; you have oonferred this same high honor upon Chevrolet trucks by purchasing mare than 205,000 commercial units; yoa have made 1936 the most succearfnl year in all Chevrolet history. . And now, to climax these expressions of friendship, you are displaying even mote marked prelereaoe for the mw Chevrolet for 1937. It is difficult to express adequate appreciation for gifts so great and so graerou* as thaw. All we can say is, 'Thanks a million" for more than a millioa can in 1936: and all we can do is offer you the still finer Chevrolet of 1937 in return for the finest friendship ever bestowed upon any motor £Uf
