TIIE CHRISTMAS WISH.

With the

rorld at war and the times completely out of toint- i.

most every other home robbed of a repreaentative. its favorite bov perhaps It Is hard to stimulate the spirit of Merry Christmas. Poor old Santa Claus, simply cannot feel gay when he finds the homes of the boys he used to visit stern and sober because the bor has 1olnd th.

colors, and because of the altered conditions of life we are all called upon to face. And yet for the sake of the children the little lads and lassies-Christmas must he observed aa usual. It will not do to let these vounsrsfers growup into a world In which there la no Christmas. They will eoon be drawn into a life of care and responsibility. Their childhood will be all too short and nothing that will take any eweetnesj or happiness or joy from that childhood should ever be permitted. For their sake let It be a Merry Christmas and we can all fervently hope and pray that by next Christmas at least there will truly be Peace on Earth and Goodwill to All Men.

Further, to conserve ga.s you must run engines with it and the power of the engines generates electricity enough to operate every plant within a radius of five miles or so and a couple of street-car lines thrown into the bargam. If the city were about teven times as large as it is. it would'nt begin to use up all the current. "In short, Gary is simply forced to disobey the lightless night order or be a rank slacker In the point of dissipating valuable resources into the thin, blue air." Despite the cheapness with which power Is made in Gary the steel trust does not hesitate to charge fancy rrices to Its employes and other residents of Gary for current, and as for the city of Gary it must pay $75 annually for each arc light whereas in the adjoining city of Hammond a small company only charges $52.50.

No school, however, will be he'd on Christmas eve. New Years eve or on New Years' day. This class was organized with the obpect of giving the men within the draft ages, namely 21 to 31 years of age, a chance to become proficient in the art cf telegraphy.

which offers excellent opportunities in the signal corps. It takes an average

man at least five months to become an expert, which Is about thirty words per minute. Although the government will accept the men when they are able to receive twenty words per minute. The International Morse code is used by the government, which differs from the U. S. Morse code. Each individual is given the best of attention so as to equip him In the least possib'.e time.

petition to the directors of the steel trust in New York to cease asking such terrific prices when common decency at least demands better treatment for the Garyites.

ABOUT HEALTH. England has Just acquired a minister of public health. This Is a forward step. We ought to have a secretary of health In the president's cabinet; some d.y we shall. As It Is. even in cities we don't appropriate enough for health departments. Over at Rantoul, 111., "the commandant of the aviation school permits the soldiers there to patronize only those business places that hold health certificates. As a result barber Bhopa are becoming mora sanitary, restaurants are cleaning up and seeing to It that their employes are healthy, and much good is resulting all around. Not only will the soldiers benefit, but so will Rantoul. It is too bad that there isn't an aviation camp around here. In El Paso they have a big steel sun cage attached to the jail. Prisoners can get out into the fresh air and enjoy the sunshine whenever they feel like it. As our present city and county jails are constructed they are disease breeders. Men are deprived of fresh air and sunlight, the freest things there are. In conse-juence many develop tuberculosis and other diseases. The El Faso open air sun cage is one that ought to be made obligatory for all prisonsAn excellent substitute for those who carry their lunches these meatless days is to have sandwiches of dates, raisins or beans in place of the uual variety of cheese or fried eggs. Eggs and cheese are acid-forming, while dates, raisins and beans are bases. The first two especially are rich in mineral matter, and in the desert many Arabs sustain life alone on the succulent, sweet and meaty dates. Sandwiches of this kind are a lot better than those made ot eggs or meat, and they insure a brighter day. As for dates, they are more preferable for children or for sweethearts for that matter. The next time you would buy candy take a package of dates instead. They cost but 15, 17 or 20 cents a package.

WE are never roing to nave full sympathy for the food administration until It shuts off garlic for the duration of the war.

SWOLLEN PRICES. In telling why there is no need to obey the fuel administration's order for lightless Thursday and Sunday nights in Gary, old man Carr says: "Gary has a chance, now, to achieve a reputation of which she never before dreamed of being the only bright spot in the whole world on lightless nights, which have been inaugurated in America and which have been in force for months in other warring countries and in hard pressed neutral ones as wll. "In fact, Gary probably will be the only city from coast to coast that can snap its fingfrs at the fuel dictator's order to cut out the ' bright lights on certain nights of the week. It Is not. that she Is unpatriotic, but that when it comes o light, she just has oodles and oodles of it. All she has is light, and as long as there is war she will keep on having more and more light. In fact the more war there is the more light Gary "will have. "To have war the world must have munitions and to hare munitions there must be steel. Likewise, to have steel you .must have coke and to have coke you must have pn enormous output cf gas.

What the Bell System Is Doing

PEED is the essential element of the times

and the hour.

The telephone operator is a trained public servant. Before she is allowed to take her place at the switchboard she undergoes a systematic course of instruction, so arranged as to develop alertness of thought, concentration on the work in hand? resourcefulness in emergency, and speed of action. To handle the great volume of business passing over its long distance lines alone, the Bell System has specially trained 12,000 operators in long distance methods and practices. Upon the speed in handling messages, developed by these thousands of operators, depends the usefulness of the Bell System to the Government and to the public. Speed. 'in the transmission of messages which have to ao with the construction of air-craft, ships, munitions, and the like with all Government activities in fact will be a factor in saving human lives, since these appliances will bring nearer the end of the war.
