THE DAV AFTER CHRISTMAS Today, with Christmas in the background, seme of the mafic lingers. But it is fragile. Already one begins to think of the bills even while pausing to remember with pleasure the joy, the sheer happiness of those for whose sake the bills were contracted. But this is a workaday world. And one must be practical. "Christmas comes but once a year." Does the soul of Christmas similarly come but as an annual and a transient guest, a guest whose idealism and selflessness and impracticality make it quite, quite impossible to harbor him as a permanent tenant in the heart? The sigh with which most of us dismiss the inner urge to try, at least, to enthrone unselfishness as a reigning monarch instead of as an occasional royal visitor to the courts of our finer selves offers the hope to which those who believe that althuism is 'possible 365 days of the years must cling. For if it were impossible we would not regret its impossibility. Man has no impulse for what is wholly beyond him. The very fact that the average human being feels that he could be disinterested and noble if others were the same is proof that disinterestedness and nobility is there, latent, within, as the oak is latent within the acorn. The urge to transend the limitations of our weak and easily' discouraged natures finds release at Christmas. And because man is a creature of fragile faith he lives the rest of the year content to warm himself at the fire kindled at the fire of Christmas good intentions. It is as though he invented Christmas to prove to himself that he has tne possibility, the germ, the seed, of divinity. The occasional individual who rises above the smaller self enclosed in his own flesh to the larger self of which the world and its people

are a manifestation is called a saint or a fool. The race has not yet progressed to the stage where enough of us can understand absolute disinterestedness to give the truly disinterested person scope for his activities. He whose birth is celebrated Christmas day was such a one. His crucifixion was inevitable. Mankind was not prepared for such a revolution as the law of loving one's neighbor as one's self would effect. And yet across the chasm of two thousand years this law thunders in our ears each Christmas Day. Thunders and whispers. For white the law reverberates with all the majesty of the eternity from which it draws its power its voice is also sweet and gentle.

THE DOUGHBOYS AND THE KIDS War and its vicious aftermath have not spoiled the American boys camped on the Rhine. They, it appears, are much the same as they were when they sat on the front stoop back home. With typical sanity of judgment they see in the children of the Germans, whose land they are guarding, just kids. Kids, argue the Americans, are made for Christmas, and old man Klaus has no business overlooking any just because there has been a war. So the doughboys went to work, and made up a purse of many million of marks, and handed it to Santa Claus with very specific instructions as to its employment. It is understood that he is to be on the job bright and early in Rhineland and see that the children are properly remembered. It would take a very stony heart to criticize that splendid gift. One wonders which the children will remember longest, the treaty of Versailles or the time when, most unexpectedly, Santa Claus came in the neat garb and cheerful guise of an American doughboy. Not only does the act, in its implications, have a heartwarning effect, but it will make many an American mother feel that the boys are all right these American soldiers even if they are far away and on an unpleasant mission.

A COLD AND MERSIVE PROFESSION "Oh," says the reporter who covered the Tenth District Medical meeting in Hammond the other day ((for a Henri Babre of medical literature !The terrors of a purely technical vocabulary madden the lay mind as it listens to a lecture following in thought the speaker as he delves into some phase of the mysterious functioning of the human body and is unable to visualize the speaker's mental x-ray while comprehending its significance. There are laurels tor the proverbal "country physician" who can revamp the vocabulary of medicine and bring a bit of the warmth of simple English to literature now as cold and incisive as its emblems, the lance and the scalpel. Who will be the Homer of medicine?

GOOD NEWS The butinesg man should now rejoice Throughout our much-taxed land. He should be saving money now. As he ha hoped and planned. Because glad times have come again And lower are the prices.

SAPS I HAVE MET The boob who has the Impression that A comedian has got to be drunk to be funny. The innocent child who believes that the hero could lick the villain in real life. The skeptic who believes that no press agent is ever able to tell the truth even to his own wife. The hot critic who says that every modern musical tcomedy score is stolen from Gilbert and Sullivan or De Koven. The goof who believes th.t a grand opera impresario has a knock-down-and-drag-out fight with every prima donna and tenor in his company before every performance. When a man Is writing with the exclusive purpose of entertaining the public and reaches the point where he imagine he must take himself seriously, it usually transpires that he does no entertain anybody. A lot of bright boys have come to grief that way. Oaa or two are doing it now. IN THE MOVIES Camera man with the peak of his cap in frent. Bathing girl in the water. Captain of industry who does not waste his time puffing at a large 1 lack cigar. Detective who doesnt wear a derby hat and close-cropped mustache. Hero who does not wear a waspwaist suit from the House of Ginsberg. Vampire who does not appear in jade earrings and black clinging gown. Comedian with shoes that fit him. "englishman f.ho is not tall, thin and slightly stooped. Frenchman without a wisp of upturned mustache and a goatee Nevrich man breaking into society who does not shake hands with the butler.
