There is no greater testimonial to human carelessness the the I nited States mails. This is not surprising since the average American is now a daily user of the mails, and human actions and habits best reveal human traits. Mostly through carelessness 200,000,000 pieces of mail went astray in the United Sttaes in 1922. Incorrect or insufficient addresses were the chief reasons. Of those which went astray, 17,000,000 wound-up at the dead letter oft ice. If the address of the sender was found inside, the mail eventually found its way back to that address^ if not it was lost forever. If this dead letter office mail comprised letters of no importance, advertising matter and other articles of little value there would be little cause for concern in this tendency toward earless mailing. That the condition is not to be brushed aside without serious thought is evi­ dent from the postal department’s report that money ag­ gregating $100,000 was recovered by the dead letter office from “ lost” mail in 1922. Letters go astray by the thousands on every day of the year and those who send mail during the Christmas season are no more careless than those who patronize the mails during other seasons but in view of the abundance of Christinas mail and the sentiment and possibility of disappointment attached to each bit of Christmas mail, it is the duty of every patron of Uncle Sam’s postal service to wrap carefully and address more carefully. Carelessly mailed mail inconveniences the postal employes just a little, but if it is lost it means much to those at both ends of it proposed jounrqey. THE CHILD AND THE TOY * . Unimaginative people may regard the child’s Christ­ mas toys as mere playthings, a means to keep his mind occupied so that he won’t be bothering the family. There is something in that point of view. A kid with nothing to play with has got to find vent for his activity, and he may become a public nuisance. But toys rightly ss- lected can be more than that. They are the tools with which the child makes his first impression upon the world. Except for some simple little duties, the small child can do little but dream he is a grown-up, and toys are his first attempt to realize his first hopes of achievement.

Christmas the greatest of our holiday seasons. Yet custom seems to have changed from year to year until we are inclined more to feasting and making merry than to a true observ­ ance of the real importance of the occasion. But with all our mirth and jollity, and with all our giving, we have made that important event one of the most beautiful of our annual holidays. The celebration of the birth of Christ has developed to a season of extending good cheer from one to another, until today the best organized efforts of our fraternal, civic and religious societies are concerted in spreading cheer and comfort, joy and thanksgiving to every home and to every child. It is with credit to humanity and honor to the Savior that systematic efforts are exerted to carry ing a ray of light and a word of cheer to every home in the land. In this we have developed the trait of giving material things, not alone, but of extending to all the spirit th a t prompted the utterance, ‘‘Peace on earth, good will to men.” The predominating spirit-of the modern Christmas is to make others happy, so after all, we are not far from observing the real significence of that memorable event. • Another feature of our observance of the occasion, is worthy of the child bom in the manger, is the un­ stinted efforts in extending happiness to little children. \\ e celebrate the birth of the child in endowing the hearts of other children with all the joy and gladness that can be extended. While there is much of joy in Christmas for the men and women of mature years, the highest de­ gree of happiness is for the little folks. It is their Christ­ mas, their day of joy. here is significence in the fact that after more than nineteen hundred years the civilized world celebrates the birth of Christ.
