HOLIDAY HINTS. Christmas cirnly, the stick kind, brtghtly-ooiored. lha always used to taste so good, is going to be a third cheaper this year than it was last, manufacturers say. Remember, uoce youngster mightn't pet a single piece if jou don't see to it. Christmas Red Cross seals will help staap out tuberculosis throughout the country all next year. Paste one on every Yuletida package you semi cut. Christmas trees are plentiful. It makes the day seem brighter if there's a tinselly tree about the house. Don't be "too busy'' to fix one up. The kids like It, you know. But be careful about Christmas tree candles. You den t want a tragedy or a near-tragedy to mar the holiday. Christmas smiles cost noi.hlng at a.l. The more you furnish your friends, the more they seem to think of you, somehow. Affd you dca't need to shut oft the supply on December 26th, either.

MAKING GOLD CHEAP. There are net so many people in Nevada as there used to be, the latent census figures reveal, but. recent developments may vastly Increase the contribution of the country'3 wealth notwithstanding. A few days ago more than 2.000 of Nevada's most prominent people, headed by the governor, headed out into thetdesert to watch a gold miner. Y"hat would one of the 4!ers have thought if he had got such a reception wben with pick, shovel and washing pan he prepared to t'.evelop the resources of Nevada by standing knee-deep in the icy waters of a mountain stream all' day long? These pioneers operated amid the solitudes, engaged In a great gamble with fortune and frequently lost, but they opened the way for the astonishing mining developments which take gold mining out of the realm of the sp.etuilatiTe and place it upon a basis cf regular day to day output almost as dependable as that of a factory. For the gold digger so many Nevada citizens went out to see was an enormous electric dredge which scoops up the desert earth in gigantic buckets, cich adding nine cubic feet, and passes it over a series of revolving sieves at the rate of 20 bucketfuls per minute. Nuggets and dust come out in the vash with the prosaic certainty of a steam thresher. It is said that the company which thus begins operations will sift TOO arres in the golden valley of the Comstcck district . In the early days when good old Hernando Ie Sotc came to Florida for his health he was taken in by ryam of the natives about a plc up rcuntry wer rotd -as said to be as cheap c Iron. IV Si.uo tr.-;?np';2 i.isny a weary mile and died broken bearttd. If be could have hea with the motor party out In the N..-v.uia .:?c-rt uou&Ums he wouln h Pttid, "Mr rlrfflrn Is arr'.it come true. The renin:-- K the race which has conquered the wilderness to which I succumbed, will locate Eldorado out here on the alkali. And maybe he would be right. WHY CRIME HAS INCREASED. An investigator of Foclclogicaf conditions in American pities, observing that crime rr.n rampant to new high records in 191J(i observes that "human !if, war nevvr as insecure in the United Stets a? it is today. Our national apathy in this matter is an inW.inrnr of our alleged civilization. "i It !s a pessimist ic xi-w. He blames "the press, wfcich fails to ,in.v useful conciusiens from the facts presented: the church, which s;-ems indifferent, to tho most flagrant violation of the laws of God. and the authorities, failing to obtain prompt, convictions in a large number of murder cases." Probabiy there is some blame to be attached to Sach of these for the prevailing hieh murder rate in

the I'nlted States. Hut It Is not clear that they are responsible for the sudden Increase in crlnio in 1919, for the press and church and civil authorltloM are probably not. more apathetic today than they hav ben for years. Indeed, there are evidences that they have been more alert iu recent months than crdinarlly. The increase In homicide In l'.)1i Is due to one cause, and one only, it is due to the cheapening of the value placed on human life by the great war. Irresponsible minds that comprehend that 10,000,000 soldiers were tdaiu from 1914 to 191S are not likely to attach' much significance to adding one more" to the loss, it is the price the world pays for settliit,' men at each other's throats. There are. however, obvious contributory causes to homicide "under normal conditions that are within possibility of correction. The ease with which dangerous cr weak persons can obtain 'a death-dealing weapon is au invitation to them to use those weapons. The power of the courts to frighten men into being good is strictly circumscribed. It has been discovered that the way to prevent men from using opium is to put a ban on' opium. The way to stop thera from drinking to excess is to make it difficult, or Impossible, for them to obtain liquor. Some day it will become clear that the way to stop murder Is to make it difficult for men to obtain the means to kill.

1 THE ARMENIAN ARMISTICE. The Christian woild cannot but rejoice over the signing of the armistice between Armenia and Turkey. If this Is to moan the cessation of warfare boweea the cresceut aud the cross, it is a mark of progress. For it is tirao that religious differences were no longer made a car.se, or an excuse, for the fighting of nations. Armenia and her sufferings have been the subjects of widespread sympathy throughout America. This Christian nation In Asia, set down in the midst or Moslems, for many centuries has kept the faith without wavering. Now peace shines, aud the world can be glad for Armenia. It can be glad too, for Turkey, that eld reprobate among nations that has recently been about excluded from Europe and finds Itself with dwindling power in Asia Minor. Those who would eliminate the Turkish nation speak perhaps without a calm consideration of the problems cf the Near Kast. Mohammedans form a body religious of some 200, 0H0, -000. Their traditional history is built about Turkey. It may be g'cd, it may be bad. In any case they are entitled to it. Let us be fair In dealing with Turkey. But let us also keep her well In hand in thetreatment that she gives to the Armenians.

Auto-truck freight car built and used by a Long: Island City, N. Y., firm to sped up freight delivery, and one-man com huskcr tractor in use in Illinois.

WHEN SOME men discover that the truth is goicg to hurt them, they are willing to take chances with a lie.

FALLING PRICES are not keeping anybody awake at night, not even the profiteers.

Ingenious devices for aiding in the production ami delivery of foodstuffs at being- 'developed almost daily, it seems, liere we have a r. ci freight car cf standard dimensions, built to be hauled about city streets by auto

truck. If necessary the car can be placed on railway wheels. It. is designed to help relieve freight ccrg-estion. Illinois farmers are usir.jj: or.e-man corn huskers pulled by tractors. These machines not only husk the corn but feed

the shucked ears into a wagon. JIach machine, run by one man, does the work which formerly from four to eight men did. The new tractor and attachments not only saves the cost of additional labor, but is always at hand.

This striking: American fashion is developed along new lines which delightfully accentuate the frjrur. It is of biscuit colored broadcloth with bandinps of nutria on cellar, cuffs and bottom of the skirt, and even on the brim of the brown velvet hat there is a bit of the fur. The novel collar and tucked panel mark the coat as unusual. In fact, "extreme' is the only word which can describe styles like this.
