YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOP
PING EARLY!
A girl and a boy, students at Oberlin College, were saun
tering along a railroad track on the edge of their college
town the other evening. A train appeared in the distance.
The boy suggested that the sit on the track in front of the
approaching train and see who dared stay there the longest
before jumping out of the way. The girl agreed. It ended irwU'wrif toVaka'thm
just as you would suppose. The girl, eager to prove her dar- Lic Iatter.
lnr etufpH inn lnno-anrl ant hit. She is now in a hosmlal
with a broken collar bone, several broken ribs and some se
vere bruises. And she and the young man, possibly, feel
that they have learned something. A college freshman is
more or less expected to be somewhat silly. As a general
thing, the freshman lives up to this expectation admirably.
But a stunt like this one at Oberlin, where a boy and girl
out of sheer bravado undertook a nonsensical prank that
nearly cost the girl her life, seems a bit more than we have
any right to ask.' However, nothing in particular is to be
gained by meditating that young people are foolish. They
are, always have been and always will be. This foolishness
does not arise from any mental incapacity ; it is simply the
inevitable result of high spirits and excess energy confront
ing a world that is unknown, testing it and trying to see
how far fortune can be pushed. Very often this experimen
tation takes ludicrous, even tragic, forms.
back of it, for all that, is never ludicrous. A girl who sits!m p"nt
on a railroad track to see how long she dare wait before
jumping out of the way of a train may be-risking her life
and behaving like a simpleton ; nevertheless, that same girl,
actuated by the same sort of restless curiosity and love of
excitement,, is one of the reasons why we older ones look on
the world's future with hope. Suppose that you set out to
recruit a host of daring souls to join you in some danger
ous enterprise a "lost hope" revolution, a desperate attack
on entrenched injustice and wrong. Would you seek your
recruits from the sensible, mature people? Never in the
world! You would goj to the' youngsters-i-td ; the rfoolish
crack-brained kids who get .into ; trouble because they don't
know how to dodge the- world's. pitfalls., - And they woujd
follow you! The same eagerness and lack of balance-that
drives them, to do laughable, silly things would make them
follow to any kind of death you directed, if only you gave
them a flag and a slogan.. The baltufields of the world have
been littered with their bodies since wars began. Young
sters do foolish things, as. in this case at Oberlin. But the
tragedy of the whole thing is that they eventually get sensi
ble, mature and very, very cautious.

If an 18-year-old boy, arrested for robbery, should es
cape from jail and run home to his mother, you would hardly
bhune the mother if sKe should help him nuike his escape
good. It would bo easy to understand how her love could
overbalance her knowledge that he really ought to pay for
his crime. But an Illinois youth of that age, jailed in Ken
tucky for robbery, escaped and went homc and his mother
sent him back to jail. He reappeared at th jail a day or
so later, saying his mother had told him to return and "take
his medicine" and load a bettor life thereafter. That young
man's mother evidently was a lady of considerable strength
of character. She refused to give way to unwise emotion
alism when she could have been easily excused for doing so.

DEFECTIVE HEARING
A bulletin from the children's bureau of the United
States department of labor announces that a survey shows
that 10 per cent of the school children of the United States
have measurable defects of hearing. To relieve the situa-!'"'
lion, there is recr.mnu'iidod a uniform law in all states and
cities requiring an annual examination of the hearing of
all school children, with eventually the opening of clinics in
all schools. Probably it will be a good many years before
such laws can be passed. In the meantime, each parent can
do his part. The expense of having a doctor examine a
child's hearing is negligible; and doing so mjiy save the
child an untold amount of unhappine.ss in future years.

POEM FOR THE DAY
By LOUIS ALBERT BANKS
7:
WHEN WILL SALOONS COME BACK
I'll tell you whoa taloons will come,
j And when we'll turn again to rum:
; j When wives prefer thoii husbands drunk.
And mother-love'a completely shrunk;
When wives can count their being beat
' A bright and jolly Christmas treat;
When children love to misa a meal,
f , And hungry stomachs joy reveal.
Ah, yes, saloons will hurry back
And brewer's wagons own the track..
When drunken chauffeurs are desired,
And sober engineers arc fired;
When men who totally abstain
' Ate found with limbs too weak to train;
. And sober men cannot compote
With tippler's in athletic feat.
When those who look for men to work
To find the boys who never shirk.
Put on their signs. "Come- whiskey soaks!
Big wages here for liquor 'bloakes'."
That's when will come the old saloon.
And prove the undertaker's boon,
And loafers 'round the doors will hang
Blear-eyes, red-nosed the old-time gang.
But not until that day arrives.
Shall we go hack to whiskey dives.
So long as women love and bless.
And children thirst for happiness
So long as goodness is adored.
And selfish indolence is scored,
The baby never will be born
Who'll see alive John Barleycorn.

without thinking snake. So that
Msnake bird," as it is most fre
quently called by the average citi
zen where it ia common. Is by fur
the most appropriate name. The
shape of its head and neck at
once suggest a serpent, it often
swims entirely under water, its
head and long neck In slxht. like
some species of water snakes, and
has, no doubt, been the Innocent
cause of se-serpent tales.
As a diver. It is the most - won
denut ot all birds, not even ex
cepting the loon. Like the loon, it
(can uisappear Instantly, swim a
jlong distance under water and
come up tar away, in an entirely
different direction than would be
naturally expected.
It Is a long bird over two feet,
very slendeny built so that It ap
pears longer than It Is. The top of
the head and several Inches of
neck are bronied; the rest of the
back and the tall and underpartd
black; some bronze markings on
shoulders, but winga and root of
tail strongly marked with whit on
black. It sometimes nests on low
bushes and sometimes la trees,
but always where It can dart in
yfnntly into the water or tumble its
I young Into the water. They have
from three to five eggs blue or
dark-greenish white. They winter
In tropical South America, but are
