Ho lion s'i't know, ami 1 wouldn't
hurt hint l>y telling him that 1 haw
gone to the extreme because at
Christmas when 1 was a child there
used to ho such a lump in my throat
( couldn't swallow breakfast and
when the miserable meal was thiu
I used to hide under a bed and cry
until the anguish was pone from my
soul.
I wish everybody in the world
could lie happy at Christmas. It's
a time when nobody can make to,. ,
many sacrifices in order to make
others joyful.
j The meanest man or woman in the
world to me is the one who will en- |
lighten a child as to the identity of j
Santa Claus. !.
I ' i
There is one more pay-day at our 1 ,
house between this and Christmas. .
The December check isn't big enough ,
to pull us through when we've turn- .
ed over to building and loan the ,
monthly payment and to the grocer ,
his. January will find many of us)
still paying the Christmas bill. I i
have completed the baby's shopping. I
There is a doll ami doll bed and they I '
are substantial and strong, and they
cost $l.OO each. The baby carriage
is my only extravagance for it cost
three dollars. There is a scooter bike
for the boy ami 1 wanted a sled but
I haven't found it yet. His father
says I'm foolish to buy it because
some winters wo don't have snow
enough to use it. Hut there's no use
arguing with a woman —1 am going
to have that sled for the pure joy
of seeing my son take it to a hill
which 1 once coasted in a discarded
dough tray.
If 1 weix- judge in any court and a
woman or man were brought before
me for theft and they put up ihe
plea, "There was nothing for the chil
dren's Christmas," they would •or-'
tainly go free.
With Ftldie Guest I believe in tilt
ing the children's stockings, not v. Ith
the sensible things we would select
for them, but with the fot 1 i-h things
of their liking and let rhem be
supremely happy at Chnstma's f.ny

I For Wider Roads
The state of Texas is anxious to
' set the world an example in road
building and proposes to make her
highways, wherever possible, 100
feet wide, and to construct all new
roads that width. Don't smile at that
Mr. Header, even though it sounds
like an impossibility. At the present
rate there will be 50,000,000 autos
in this country in l'.lTo, just fifty
years from now. Figuring that by
! li'7s one-half of the population will
be women and children anil the oth
-1 er half men, it will just about aver
age one automobile for every man
in the United States. And witn
every man owning and driving a car
I can you imagine how roads like we
have today are going to accommo
date them? Don't laugh at the Lone
• Star state—she is setting a fine ex
' ample. The fact is you may not
have to live !">0 years to find that
roads 100 feet wide are inadequate
to take care of traffic demands.
I Let us at least hope that no great
men of this era will be immortalized
\in bronze balloon trousers.—As
