QUITE AN UNDERTAKING Looks as though the Democrats contemplate “going places” and “do- ing things” when they take over af- fairs at Harrisburg next month. We can't remember when there wassuch activity in speculation over future modes of government in good old Pennsylvania. Among the topics being discussed they contemplate— Legalized Sunday fishing. Legalized Sunday theatres. Abolition of the state liquor stores Legalized race track betting mak- ing possible horse and dog tracks in Pennsylvania. Consolidation of the State Police and State Highway Patrol under one head. In the meantime many Lancaster county Democrats are eager to land one of the political plums as soon as Governor-elect Earle shakes the tree. TOYLAND Once a year the children of our homes set out in search of a new country which can be called Toyland They stand open mouthed before the store windows, and drink in the pic- ture furnished by dolls and toy au- tomobiles and fire engines and chil~ dren's sets of tools. They flatter their little noses against the plate glass windows, and long for admis- sion into such a kid heaven, where all these things might be theirs. It does not necessarily follow that a child must have many costly toys. Sometimes the children that have the most, are the most unhappy. If a child has too much, he is likely to trifle with each tool or toy. until he never learns well the use of any of them. These children are the ones who seem to take delight in smash- ing the treasures of toyland, and reducing them to kindlingwood. The thing that seems to give a child the most pleasure is to feel that he is older than he is, and is doing something that older people do Children like to play they are grown up. They imagine themselves big men and big women, and glory in this fancied maturity. Those of us who are parents have the rare privilege of leading our children into the delights and fas- cinations of Toyland. To see a child's mind grow under this stimu- tus, is like watching some beautiful plant develop its leaves, buds and flowers. MEMORIES OF CHRISTMAS If a ballot were to be taken as to which is the most popular holiday, which one would get the votes? Would it be July Fourth with all its noise and picnics? Would it be Thanksgiving with gorgeous feasts? Only one guess is necessary on this election. It would of course be good old Christmas. That is the one that lingers the most in our memor- ies, to which the most imagination clings, which brings back most clear ly the faces of the past, which pre- sents the most vivid picture of the scenes that were brightest. The tumults of July Fourth, the sports of Labor Day. the fat birds of Thanksgiving, are soon forgotten. But those tender scenes of Christ mas, how they linger in the mind} Those old pictures bring back the faces of dear old friends who have marched on before, parents, grand- parents, many others, who deprived themselves of things they needed, that they might load up old Santa with the things we had dreamed of but could not provide for ourselves. What scenes of family jollity come back in those galleries of memory! Loved persons now silent were then bubbling over with gaiety and fun waking the homes with their laugh- ter, playing tricks and joining with the children in kid games, finding youth again after the lapse of long years of toil and anxiety. What is it in Christmas that thus turns Iabor and anxiety into merri- ment and forgetfulness of unhappy thought? Clearly it is but one thing that for a day we acquire the giving spirit. Instead of striving for our- solves, we begin to think of other folks, and what would make them happy. SMALL TOWN STUFF “That's small town stuff’ is a phrase often heard.

What do they mean by it, and is small town stuff necessar- ily undesirable? Many of our finest people came from small towns. A very dispro- portionate number of leading busi- ness men and statesmen originated in small towns. Small town stuff must have been rather helpful to them. They learned things in the small towns that were of value. Small town life helps people to become democratic. Everybody speaks to everybody else, and if anyone is sick or in trouble, the neighbors are quick to offer substantial help. If that is small town stuff, it is very much needed in larger places. There are some phases of small town life that are not so good. The people of many small towns have a kind of hopeless and stagnant feel- ing. They can't seem to arouse themselves to take energetic meas- ures for town improvement. In some small towns there are local jealousies and dislikes that prevent the people from cooperating. Competitors in business dislike each other, and will not work together. This may be called small town stuff, but symp- toms of these tendencies are found in much larger places. The United States must cherish its small towns. More people should live in them rather than fewer. The ‘small towns of Lancaster County are good healthy places to grow up in.

It was not the first experi- ment with steam power navigation, but it was the most successful, and ft marked the advent of a new era. The Clermont was 133 feet long and had a beam of 35 feet. It was powered by engines built in England by Boul ton and Watt Fulton later designed steam vessels for the United States navy. For many years after steam engines came into general use for ships, they were used as auxiliaries to sail. The first transatlantic crossings by steam- ships really were made by sailing ves: sels aided by steam-powered paddle wheels. During the Civil war most of the naval vessels of both the Fed- erals and Confederates were ships of this type. Notable examples were the Kearsarge of the United States navy and the Alabama, Confederate war- ship, which fought the memorable bat- tie off Cherbourg, France, in 1864. The Civil war did produce, however, a rad- Ical departure from orthodox ship de- sign which was to influence all future warship building. This was the build- ing of the Moagitor, an iron-armored warship with a circular gun turret and armored decks almost flush with the water line. The success of the Moni- tor marked the advent of iron and steel armor-plated warships such as thise of the present day.

There were eight or ten cir |& cuses in Rome, huge rectangular en closures, open to the sky, with one short side forming a half-circle. The seats of the spectators were in tiers, sloping backwards. The exteriors of the circuses were surrounded by colon: | nades, shops and galleries. In the cir- | cuses were celebrated the “circensian” | sg games, or games of the circus, the |x greatest of which were held from Sep- | tember 4 to 14, in homor of the great | gods. A splendid procession opened the festival. Then sacrifices were per- formed, the spectators took their places, and the games commenced. |3 These consisted of horse and chariot |% races, gymnastic contests, prize con- | tests on horseback, cembats with wild | 3 beasts, and representations of naval engagements. For the last of these entertainments, the clrcus could be |% laid under water. ONDERFUL CHRISTMAS BUYS IN NOOVER, SPECIALS!"
