It will dd us good on this Thanksgiving day tn stop nnd look nt the other side of the ledger and cust up the account of the good things that hnve come to us. Our situation admittedly lias not been us favorable In ninny respects as we could dosire. We have had prob lems nnd diflicultles which naturally aroused dissatisfaction and discontent. We have been feeling mighty sorry for ourselves. Perhaps Thanksgiving occasion could bring no greater blessing to us ns a peop.'e than to readjust our perspec tive nnd displace pessimism with a new spirit of optimism. I'.efore wc enter Into the true spirit of the day It Is necessary to put away our hatreds, our grouches nnd discon tents nnd center our thoughts upon the blessings thnt have come. If one would give thanks be must realize the fact of having been blessed, and In doing so he minimizes the misfortunes he bus experienced. The pessimist Is In no position to give thanks. The spirit of optimism will possess us to the extent thnt we are ahle to Rtve tbntiks In spirit nnd In truth to the liver of All Cood Gifts today. For the fact remains thnt. In spite of our difficulties, we are the most prosperous and the most favorably sit uated nation on the earth nnd thnt . we have more reasons for contentment ' nnd gratitude than any other people. This Thanksgiving day. If observed ! In the spirit of those who Inaugurated It. Is capable of lifting the spirit nnd thought of the American people to new heights mid of ushering In a new era of contentment nnd happiness. Tbnnksglvlng day comes to mean today not only nn occasion when we tuny express our gratitude to the Most High for Ills care and kindness In the past, but likewise a time when by marshaling our blessings before us w are Inspired with new hoiie nnd eour- I nge for the future. Cranberries Always Have Played Prominent Part at Thanksgiving Feast It Is a tradition in Plymouth that the eating of turkey and cranberry sauce on Thanksgiving day goes back to the first Pilgrim Thanksgiving. That little band of self-exiled, de voted Christians crossed the stormy sea in the Mayflower and landed at Plymouth Rock on December 21, 1020. Their first winter In the New World was one of great suffering, marked with famine and hardships. Governor Bradford, in his account of the Pilgrims' first Thanksgiving, does not give a menu of the dinner, but he often refers to the wild tur keys as one of the luxuries of the colony. However, John Josslyn, an English traveler and naturalist, who visited New England in 1038 and wrote an account of its "Rarities," says: "Cranberry or bearberry (because bears used much to feed upon them) Is a small trayllng plant that grows In salt marshes that are overgrown with moss. The Indians and English use them much, boiling them with su gar for sauce to eat with their meat" That cranberries belong to the tra ditional Pilgrim dinner Is shown by the menu of the "decent repast" served at the first "Celebration of the Land ing of Our Forefathers," which was observed on December 22, 1708. This day was celebrated by the Old Colony club of Plymouth with a procession am a dinner consisting of a large baked Indlnn whortleberry pudding, a dish of sauquetach (succotash), a dish of clams, a dish of oysters and a dish of codfish, a hnunch of venison, roasted by the first Jack brought Into the col ony; a dish of fowl, cranberry tarts, a dish of fresh fish nnd eels, an applo pie, a course of cheese made In the old c'onr. Thee articles were dies.'-ed In the p!n'nost manner (all a; pea I'.i fee of luxury, whose memory we shall ever re:-ptl). Turl.ey, s::crotrs!i nnd cranberries still piny t : li' pnrt In the Thnnks glvlng dinners In Plymouth, nnd Ave grains of parched coin lire liild beside eaeb place In remembrance of the ear ly years of famine. i y W1U OJr -!!Qr:n -sires.

Black remains supreme Hn the fashion world) of Paris. Despite a severe onslaught by advocates of color, the supreme council of style has been forced to retain the conventional black aj the dominant motif ot all full and winter mode and there is every Indication that colors, except In minor trim ming effect will not be able to chal lenge black until late spring. Adopted at a time when economy was the guiding Idea of all feminine purchases, black has come to be re garded as the most boromlng color. French women say It Is alone In lend ing Itself to striking efTocts. Dressmakers quietly gathered to gether before fall and winter models were given to the world and tacitly agreed that colors should have a chance The adoption of black wa hurting them financially. One black gown, carefully selected, took the place of two of three dresses of dif ferent colors. But the French women who are In dicators of the newest developments In style, said a very emphatic "No." The demand this fall was for black and the big dressmakers bowed to the inevitable. Crepe Morroean, vel vetlne and perllalne are the most popular materials. The corset makers however have been slightly more successful In their efforts to bring the corset back Into Its own. Dressmakers are Insisting that corsets are now necessary to give the "uncorseted look." This propaganda has succeeded In some Instances but most French women having fought and won their free dom are loath in the language af a famous French actress, "to jail th3lr bodies again." There are four definite features of the fall and winter modesr a very long waist line, longer circular skirts with full sides, eccentric sleeves of gay colors and the famous Bateau neck line. Brick red has been used exten sively as trimming and some green steel ornaments for hats, purses, dresses and even shoes are the new est thing in novelties. Door knobs and nail head effects are used In making girdles. In the rase of shoes the usual order of things has been reversed and the smartest shoes in Paris are "knlrker- bocker" shoes, with large steel buckles. These shoes look more llk Amer ican shoes than anvthing ever be fore worn by French women, al though the French last Is retained. The short stubby toe has disappeared In stylish French footwear. Black again don'Vna"es In hats. felt being the best liked materials. Crowns are much higher and the fall hats are so big that they interfere with dancing. Smaller hats will be worn with fur coats later In the seas' on. Circular earrings. uRtially a circle of Jet or ebonv within a larger circle, are worn bv the best dressed women this fall. Novelty shops cannot make them fast enough. Some women wear very large ones, almost ennl balistlc In effect. Gay color has Its only opportunity in ovonlne eowns for young girls These are made In the brightest of colors but the evening dresses worn by their mothers nnd older relatives are black.

It is understood that Ad miral Charlton Is satisfied that very little in the way of warlike stores can have been concealed by the Ger mans. The gun emplacements and harbor works have been destroyed and bat teries of howitzers and aircraft guns demolished. To make certain that Heligoland can not again be utilized as a site upon which to build a harbor for warships, the commission has placed blocks of stone and concrete about the bed of the harbor so that dredg ing will not be possible. Eventually It is believed the harbor will be de stroyed by the sea. NOTICE OF 8ALJS OF OOVEKNMENT Wasnmmun, D. C, October 0. JWl. Notice 18 nereiy bh.u " ' .
