EDITORIAL
Europe hasn't much time to touch
off its threatened war if it is to get
the boys out of the trenches by this
Christmas.
Height of presumption: A Wash-
ington hostess running over to the
White House for the loan of some
$9 dishes.
One long in India says no one
knows where anelephant goes to die.
According to the returns, the whole
thing began in Maine.
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.

thing that they consider unsuited to
modern life. 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.

Sailing Ships Held Own
After Fulton's Invention
Salling ships ruled the waves for
many years after Robert Fulton and
others had proved beyond question the
feasibility of propelling vessels by
steam power applied to paddlewheels
and later to screw propellers, Fulton,
says a writer in the Chicago Tribune,
In association with Robert Livingston,
built his first steamboat, the Clermont,
in 1807. 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.

Hwang Ho, Yellow River,
Called “China’s Sorrow”
The Hwang Ho, or Yellow river,
has been called “China’s Sorrow,” the
“Ungovernable,” and the “Scourge of
the Sons of Han.” This river never
seems satisfied to remain within one
set of banks but always desires a
change. Once, says Pathfinder Maga-
zine, It tried to returm to the channel

sades were being fought the Hwang
Ho emptied near Tientsin into the
Gulf of Pe-chih-li a hundred miles
north of its present outlet, Within a
single week, however, It twisted fits

tinued to pour into the Yellow sea un-
til 1852, when It swung around the
point of Shan-tung, its present outlet,
165 miles away,
The Hwang Ho, according to a bul
letin of the Natlonal Geographic soci
ety, Is a constant menace to millions
of people, for when {it hurdles {ts
banks it spreads death and destruc-
tion in its path and even swallows up
rescue parties that come to relieve the
distress.
This “Scourge of the Sons of Han"
is the second largest river In China
with only the Yangtze exceeding It,
and In spite of its great size is not
navigable by deep-draft vessels, [Its

Romans Had First Circus
The modern circus where animals
and acrobats perform feats of daring
for the amusement of the public, owes
its name to that of the building used
by the Romans for public entertain- |
ments. 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.

Hongkong, often erroneously written | 4
“Hong Kong," is not, as popularly sup- |

is an island off the southeast China
coast. Together with a compact group | §

mainland, It constitutes the British
crown colony of Greater Hongkong. |
Victoria, a populous city on Hongkong,

Branding Runaways
The Statute of Laborers, passed in
the reign of VI, ordered a run
away servant to be branded on the
breast with the letter “V" for vaga
pond, and judged him to be the slave |
of any purchaser for two years. His |
owner, we are told, was to give him
“bread, water and small drink and
refuse meat and cause him to work
by beating, chaining or otherwise.” If
the man absented himself for 14 days
during his two years of servitude he
was to be branded on the forehead
with the letter “S.”"—Montreal Herald.
