FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1923 CITING AND RECEIVING The Christmas spirit Is best sum med un In this brief sentence: "It is more blessed to give than to re ceive." That is true; every word of it all the cynics in the world to the contrary notwithstanding. , Tha thrill of giving is a finer thing by far than the thrill of receiving. The other day R. A. Booth gave en address to Boy Scouts and their representatives. The kernel of his sddisfcs was the assertion " that what a man achieves In this world - is measured ia th last analysis by what he ia able to give to the world. No truer words were ever spoken. Lincoln isn't great be cause he was chosen president of the United States at a; critical period in the country's history. Be Is great because of what he gave to the nation In Its hour of need. Henry Ford , Is , probably the richest man in the world. But he Isn't great on that account.- Yet, undeniably, he la a great man. Ho Is' great because he took a little, seemingly Insignificant Idea and developed it into a great boon ta mankind. Be gave to us the power to get cheaply and swiftly i from place' to place he realized the - vision of the ancient dreamer who conceived- the myth of the magic blanket. And, -while ' conferring that boon upon mankind, he found ed a great industry, that enables thousands to earn more and have more.'. .That la why he Is great. I' - is why all men who rise above the ruck are great. It is, because ' of what they give to others not be cause of the trifling and tempo rary things that they receive tor themselves. . . .' . . ' There are those whfi say ' that Christmas, save as It applies to the children, is a failure that the burden of giving is not worth the effort involved In bearing it Per haps we all-rail of us, that Is, who are of maturer years have said that very thing in our more cynical moments. - But It Is not true. Christmas ia not a failure. The spirit of Christmas Is a holy thing, a living thing, a constructive thing that touches the lives of all of us and leaves us better for its touch. Man's days ara brief. Be comes Into the world and plays his little ' sketch upon Us stage, and in a few moments for the span of a human life la but a moment when com pared with' eternity the curtain falls- and his hour Is done. When the time comes for the curtain to fall U is not what he has receive! that counts in the record, but what he has given, it Is truly more blessed to give than to receive, and he who denies it Is blinder than a bat. MORNING REGISTER, EUGENE, gRE.j FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25, it. He kopt order tbo well en forced the laws so rigidly tliiU businoss was hurt. That is why the big cltlos are as wicked as they are which la not quite aa wicked as they are painted. They don't want the laws enforced too rigidly, be cause it hurls business. Then there Is another angle, thai might as well bo considered while we are in the considering business cities everywhere, big and llttto, put a lot of law on thotr books that are designed to look well and sound well but not to bo enforced. Tho curfew laws are an example. As a people we are fond of passing high sounding laws and then forirottltiif. about them. That Is one of the rea sons why law enforcement in this country la as lax as it Is. Kimono, T,nR Angeles, Oruillls, Sun KrancUoo, 8ouiiooau and Miami, It lutns.

OTHER PAPERS BEARD FROM VALE GENERAL BUTLER Something over a year ago the . city of Philadelphia ezpertencel - one of those spasms of reform that come over big and supposedly wlck4 elties at occasional Inter . .vats, and set out to clean houss. ' Since the U. S. marines have a reputation for cleaning up things, a hurry call was sent to Washing- 1 ton, and General Bmedley D. But- ' ler was assigned undor special leave to the City of Brotherly Love, where he was put in complete charge o police activities. . Be got action at opca. Dives , were closed and gunmen were chused out. Visitors to Philadel phia within the past year have been Impressed by the sight ot husky- looking polloemen bearing sawed of f shotguns and two regulation au. , tomattos each'. They were a wicked and hard-bolled-lQOklog lot. It is ' sld that they kept order. Now General Butler Is out. The reason., probably, would not be hard o fln t anyone cared to look for Bonor of Being First to Brag of Oregon's Rain Contested (Portland Oregonlan) The Eugene Register vows It was first openly to proclaim a proper pride in Oregon preclplta. tlon. There It stood, that fear less paladin of a free press, bare of head In a pelting Oregon mist, calling out to all and sundry that It liked the rain; that it had webs between every toe, goose-feathers sprouting from its front page, the beak of a duck and the eye of an osprey and that It rejoiced in these regional peculiarities. Well, let It pass. For oeventy-flve years The Oregonlan has extolled the Oregon rainfall, early and late, and broken many a cudgel for the faith. If the Register things It was first -. ... m no matter. There is glory enough for all, precisely as there Is an abundance of rain to go around. Rain. The loam drinks It deep ly, great swallows of the crystal line bounty of heaven, and up springs the grass, and down goes the price of milk. Leastwise, It ougnt to go aown f there Is aught In cause and effect. More rain. Through s green countryside the crooks baste riotously to the creeks, and the creeks rush Im petuously to the rivers, and the rivers go wallowing down to the sea. Rain. We have so much of It that we are disposed to contri bute far more tnan our quota' to the blue Paclfc. More rain. It they say to you, "Yes, but It rnlns In Oregon," then say to thorn, "I'll say It does!" And say It with tho prideful Inflection of a fond father praising the brightness ot his fav orite child. Thus you may con trive to have them on the hip. The Oregonlan is content to nerr mlt, -without tbo least impatience, any or-all of Its state contempor aries to claim honor for originat ing this Doia stand in favor of rain, During the summer season, when at times the rain comes not, and the breast ot earth is sore, and the lawn hose dovelops a leak, and somebody has made away with the noxzle, we are apt to grow peev ish', petulant and pernicklty. We ore prone to quarrel over trifles, and to split an argument exactly to ht mid-rib of a hair. But not now. It rains. And tbon It rains some more, we are at peace with Dressing Quiekly Ono Mother Says: My boys were very slow about dressing and undressing until wo started the "bealini; game." At night I put a record on the Victrola and they try to gel ready for bed before It stops. They call It "Beating the Music." In the morning I give them a tlmo limit on the clock. They beat the clock by getting dressed before tho hands'reach the given place. uf sero weather Immediately follow, ing another zero day, and I'll sltovv you a marked tall In the health oi the community." "Such wus the verdict of my friend. 'What can wo do to prevent such results?" I asked. "Have ovorybody dress accord ing to tho thermometer, guard ugatust oxpogm-o Indoors and out and never go to bed with cold feet. That is tha remedy," ho re plied. Ono reason I dread the coal famine Is because tho houses go cold. It Is just us easy to get a terrible cold Indoors tts out In the weather. To get chilled, whether la your own parlor or on tho streot ts not good for you and ono place of exposure is Just as bad us tho other. Lots of persons, women particu larly, have naturally cold feet that is, they feel cold to the touch. Hut I do not refer to coldness of this degree When 1 speak of cold feet I mean tho uncomfortabio or painful chilliness which follows ox posuro to continued low tempera ture. One of tha foolish Ideas ot too many persons is to be uslmmed of warm stockings or wurm shoes. It is all right to wear sheer, silk , stockings if your duties do not keen you out-of-dors, or In a cold houso hours ut a time. You cun not afford to huve habitually cold feet and you cannot afford to sub mit to tho dangers of cold . fci t when you ure not used to tho cold. You must use your hoad on a, I such matters. Don't go to oxtromoj. Guard against tho very rlnnuaroiu extreme of extremely cold weathor. .My friend's long experience hiul taught him a thing which every body should know. Indoor workers who spend but a little while each day In tho cold out-of-doors should havo heavy overcoats or wraps, utid other means of protection against that terrible chilling which cuts to the ' bone. It may seem unnecessary to take precautions ugulnst a fen minutes or an hour of cold air. On : the contrary It Is very foolish not to do It. Please don't go to tho other ex treme and get no fresh air at al,. That Is even worso than tho chill ing. You need tho oxygen Just as much as in the summer more In deed. Hut in getting fresh air. day or night, keep tho body, the feet and the hands warm. Then you will avoid Illness.
