OPEN HOUSE AT Y.M.C.A. JAN.I Association Building to Be Thrown Open to Boys A unique entertainment is being ar ranged for New Year's Day at the Young Men's Christian Association, Second and Locust streets, the occa sion of the sixty-second annual New £ Year's celebration. Open house will be observed from 11 in the morning to 5 p. m. and the public is cordially in vited to visit the association building on that day. The physical director, C. W. Miller, who is spending Christmas at his for mer home in Sharon, Pa., has ar ranged for a special gymnasium ex hibition to. be given during the after noon by Julius Morrell, a finished gym nast who received his training in Ger many. Mr. Morrell, who, with Frank G. Roth, will have charge of the gym nasium during the physical director's absence, will do his famous skating dance, original with himself, which has never before been shown in Har risburg. In addition there will be special exhibitions every hour during the day. One hour in the afternoon will be devoted exclusively to the boyS of the city. A general invitation will be issued and the boys are urged to make the gymnasium their playground at that particular time. In the evening C. Arthur Dulton, ofr New York, the well-known ma gician, will entertain the members and their friends in Fahnestock Hall. A large attendance is expected. 1 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR" Money as a Gift To the Editor of the Telegraph: It is time to turn our niougms to the annual Christmas gift puzzle. What does the coming of Christmas moan to us? Do we greet the approach of what should be the occasion of unclouded ?ood cheer with happy and ioyous an ticipation? No, let us be honest with ourselves. One and all we herald its advent with sighs and misgivings, aye, with resentment, at the looming spectre of the troublesome and perplexing problem of selecting gifts to be be stowed upon people whose wants we do not know and whose needs we cannot ascertain. If so many of us do not do our Christmas shopping early, but de fer it until the last moment, It is mainly for the reason that we do not know what to buy and dread to undertake the aimless search, winding up finally i in desperation with the haphazard and ill-advised purchase of a miscellaneous assortment of articles which in ihe ma .iority of cases will prove to he to the recipients nothing but disappointing pieces of useless junk. There is no pleasure either in the giving or receiv ing of such gifts. To the donor they are nothing but a vexatious bother; to ' the recipient they are valueless and they fairly cry out to him of the grudg ing labor bestowed on their futile selec tion. They kill the Christmas spirit. The Spug mbvement has done some good, but has not yet made enough progress. It is hard to break down the barriers of tradition. Why, in the name of all that is sensible, should there be any delicacy about giving t<j those whom we wish to remember a nift of money with which they mav pur chase what they really want and would enjoy, some little luxury, some special thing which they very much desire, but the expenditure for which they have , not felt justified in making out of their ordinary income or resources? Money thus received will be regarded as a special fund, given with the verv object that it may be utilized in obtaining lhose things which the person to whom it is given would be happy to have but which he otherwise would be unable to obtain. Such a gift has the double ad vantage of keeping the giver's heart free from the rancor which the neces sity of performing an unwelcome *ask with little prospect of a satisfactory result must invariably produce, and of giving the recipient the true happiness of ultimately getting something that will give him real pleasure. There are, , of course, ways and ways of giving, but there is no reason why money can not be presented in so gracious and ac ceptable a way that none of the senti ment cf the gift is lost. A SUBSCRIBER. | Too Much Liquor Causes Demolition of Station Atlanta, Dec. 22. —The State Rail- j road Commission to-day granted a petition of citizens of Moye, Ga„ con- I curred in by the Georgia, Alabama! and Florida Railroad and the South ern Express Company that the rail road station at Moye be abolished. The plea was made that persons from as far as fifteen miles around Moye had liquor shipped to them at Moye from outside the State and that the ship ments and drinking in the town had ' grown to such proportion as to become I a "menace to safety and to morals." Moye Is a South Georgia town of a | few hundred inhabitants. 62 Families of 11 Children Each Chicago, 111., Dec. 22.—Apartment houses may not be the best places in ! which to rear children but Chicago's 1 stork doesn't sniff at them—not on i your iron-bound statistics, which show 1 that 6,144 families here have seven or more children. School census figures just made public show sixty-two families with eleven children or more.
