The seals may be purchased at almost any of the places where Christmas shopping is done. Their cost is negligible to leach purchaser. Yet so multitudinous are the gifts and letters and sealed cards mailed during December, that these tiny drops of charity swell into a veritable ocean of noble work swell, that is, if a fair percentage of all mailers use them. The history of the tuberculosis Christmas seal is interesting and quite pertinent at this season. A cur rent note cites these facts or origin: "In 1897 a stamp was designed in Australia to raise money for a cam paign against tuberculosis, but it was not until 1903 that Einar Holboell, a Danish postal clerk, interested his government in the idea of selling a special stamp to raise funds for a tuberculosis hospital for children. Four years later, Jacob Riis wrote a story about the Danish stamp for The Outlook, and Miss Emily P. Bissell, of Wilmington, Del., who was inter ested in a small tuberculosis hospital, adopted the idea. She raised $3,000 through the distribution of stamps. From then on the sale of Christmas seals has spread, and since 1910 the work has been under the direction of the National Tuberculosis Associa tion." Concurrently with the spread of the seal sales, progress in the fight against this disease has rapidly dim inished the yearly fatalities. The death rate in the United States from tuberculosis has declined fifty per cent since 1904. This year's seal de sign depicts a bell ringer in action, symbolic of the old superstition that disease was an evil spirit that could be frightened away with bells. Where bells fail, pennies will accomplish miracles. Buy a block of seals today, so that your Christmas will be com plete. :o: A REAL LOSS Somehow, we regret to read the announcement that Dwight Morrow is to become a member of the Senate. Not that he doesn't deserve the honor. Far from that. But his ser vices as ambassador to Mexico have been so outstanding that we would like to see him stay in the diplo matic service. Any man who can bring such an improved relationship between two nations in the compara tively short time Mr. Morrow has been in Mexico deserves the highest commendation. He was to Mexico what Herrick was to France, and America needs more of this type of ambassadors. Their influence helps bring about that better understanding between peoples that make it much more. SUPER-T0ME0YS The approach of the Olympic games, which will be held in the United States for the first time in 1932 at Los Angeles, makes vital the question of women's fitness for stren uous athletic activities. They are ex pected to take a more prominent part in these coming games than ever be fore. Although the range of feminine physical endeavor is constantly wid ening, experts in physical education believe that women are entering j these large-muscle activities at peril to their health. Physically, women are not adapted by anatomical struc ture or physiological function to the intense forms of muscular activity and strain which are necessary and normal in athletics as developed and carried on for boys and men. Statis tics show that even women accus tomed to physical toil from childhood and engaged in heavy labor do not possess much more than half the muscular strength of men living and working in similar environments. Three qualities predominate in practically every athlete who goes very far along the road towards suc cess brute strength, endurance and neuromuscular skill. It is obviou that the maturing woman has not been endowed by nature with these qualities. The danger exists, there fore, that her weakest physiological link may break and her health be permanently impaired. There is no victory without its price and it is the duty of parents and teachers to at least inform girls who long for athletic honors of the price they may be obliged tu pay. Athletic activities. other than those engaged in for purely recreative purposes and under competent Instruction in school gym nasiums are not worth the candle to a girl the honors sought in such activities are "purchasing bubbles with a whole soul's tasking." There is another side to this ques tion which should deter girls from entering into too severe athletic ac tivity; it is the fact that in terms of physical beauty and social attractive ness the cost is absolutely prohibi tive. There is the tendency to over development of the muscles of the puffy, bloodless face of hard lines and fixed scowls. By these disfigur ations the future happiness of a girl is menaced. Strenuous forms of phy sical endeavor, such as the Olympic games, tend to destroy girl's physical and psychic charm and adaptability for motherhood. Each individual de sires the greatest happiness the most abundant life, therefore, girl3 should be warned against engaging in these conflicts for the sake of their own welfare as well as that of so ciety. :o: A PACIFIST BOOK One of the most talked-of books of the year is "All Quiet on on the Western Front," written by a Ger man named Remarque. He pictures modern warfare as so horrible, so soul-killing, so ghastly in all its phases, that the reader literally shud ders all through the volume. And now it develops that Remar que was not in the war at all; that lie did not see any lighting, a-itl is merely a fakir, a poseur, spinning his tale of horror for monetary gain On top of this discovery comes the announcement that Mussolini pio hibits publication of the book in Italy in any form. Czechoslovakia has bar red the book from soldiers' libraries. Public libraries in New Zealand and in certain countries of Central and South America have barred the book Austria refuses to let her soldiers read it. "All Quiet on the Western Front" is pacifistic literature of the worrt sort. The fact that it was written by a man who knows nothing whatever about war, discounts all it contains even though portions of the volumo may be accurate. :o: If President Hoover can get by with developing more waterways and then getting the railroad people to spend lots of money on facilities to handle more freight, he must be an economist, and the capital "E" is in tended.

It Pays to Trade at Gamer's HATCH OF A SCIENTIST Is this modern age an era of doubt and broken faith? Not if you take the word of Dr. Robert A. Milliken, famous American psychist who de livered the dedicatory addrss at the new science Hall at Millsaps College on Thanksgiving Day. In the current issue of The Golden Book, Dr. Miliken is quoted as fol lows: "I believe that one f the greatest contributions the United States ever can or ever will make to world progress will consist in fur nishing an example to the world of how the religious life of a nation can evolve intelligently, inspiringly, rev erently, completely divorced from al nnrenson. all suDerstition. and all unwholesome emotionalism." This, coming from a scientist, is rather significant. :o: A tax authority says taxes should be collected at the source, not after a general distribution has taken place With this there would be more as surance of full collection because of the culmination of the personal fac tor.

The National Association of Credit Men is the latest in the list of busi ness organizations to insist that busi ness is going forward in spite of Wall Street's gyrations. A buletin from this organisation declares that freeing of funds former ly tied up in brokers loan has brought about a positive improvement in the basic credit situation. "The shakedown has done at least one good thing for business, in that it has scared away from the broker age offices a lot of people who had no right to be spending time and morey there in the first plate," add the bulletin.
