Milne, of Muncie, meets with the approval of those who have been 'energetically working for the organization and of those who heard him speak here some time ago. , He will give to the new organization the advantages of his wide training and his more recent experience in Muncie, where he rehabilitated a commercial club, making it one of the most active In Indiana. 7 The thought was general in the city, after his appearance recently, that Mr. Milne would be an ideal man for the position of secretary. This opinion -was heard sides. The organizers of the Chamber of Commerce immediately began conferences with Mr. Milne for the purpose of obtaining his services, finally succeeding in bringing him to Richmond. -:v: .;... v. V'V;.- ; The advent of .Mr; Milne by the first of the

new year will accelerate interest in the Chamber

of Commerce and convince a number of skeptics that the "organization is not of a mushroom vari

ety but is a hardy and robust addition to the city

of Richmond.

Under Mr. Milne's direction the Chamber of

Commerce will begin to function quickly and to accomplish the purposes for which it was called into being. An able secretary to direct the work

of a civic club is a, valuable boon. Richmond is fortunate in obtaining the services of aian with the training and experience of Mr. Milne.

Take a Child Into Your Home Over Christmas A resident of a nearby town has asked for the presence of a poor child in her home during the Christmas holiday in order that its heart might be. filled with gladness and experience the cheer and blessed comforts of the holiday. Thia.woman writes that she has no children in her home and would like to take care of axhild. who otherwise would have no Christmas presents, during the holidays. This is a fine spirit and one that proves that the principle of love still burns brightly in the hearts of many persons in our community. It is a manifestation of love that might well be imitated in hundreds of homes where there are no children to show their happiness over the attention and care which adults shower upon little ones, at Christmds time. Scores of children in this community and elsewhere, who have lost father or mother, and whose enjoyment of the holiday will be impaired by the loss, could be made happy by a visit in a family anxious to communicate to unfortunate ones a share of the happiness which they themselves experience year in and out. .Not only will the. child derive infinite pleasure from the visit, but the family itself will enjoy a pardonable amount' of satisfaction over the gooddeed whiclrit has performed. Both the recipient and the giver of this kind of Christmas joy will long remember the visit of the unfortunate child. Inquiry at the Social Service Bureau elicited the information that the bureau will be able to provide children for families that want to bestow love and kindness upon a little one.

HARDING'S- SENATE MATES WILL HELP PLAN HIS INAUGURAL

Good Evening By Roy K. Moulton

Fashions in suiciding change like fashions in everything else. People used to throw themselves into Central Tark lake. Now all a person has to do is to sit down on a park bench for fifteen or twenty minutes and some accommodating highwayman steps up foftly from behind and clouts him over the bally, blawsted crumpet. We lead tlie world in labor-saving improvements. Owing to the -war. there is a scarcity of pastry bakers, says a report, and there will be a shortage of pastry. But there is enough left in the windows along Broadway to last the country several years. Some pf the pink and preen pieces seem doomed to stay there forever. The tough-luck chauffeur was the one who took the car out for a joy ride and r!fn over the owner. Now we have the tough-luck burglar. He jumped out of a fourth floor window and landed on a policeman. Dr. Copeland predicts a flue epidemic for the first of Ihe year. He might save sonip of us a lot of trouble if he would stage this epidemic before Christmas. The Turks at least have patience. They have been killing Armenians for hundreds of years, but there are more now than ever. Of course the article you are going to give the wife for Christmas is Article X X being the unknown fiuantity. Somebody stole a hag full of diplomats' mail and opened every letter in a New York hotel room. Our idea of nothing to read is a diplomat's correspondence. As Rube might say, it doesn't mean anything. You may consider that you have been unusually lucky. Probably notody has ever sold you the Hope diamond. The league begins to look more like a holey alliance.

Dinner Stories

A pretty girl at an evening party was bantering a genial bachelor on his reasons for remaining single. "No-oo. I never was exactly disappointed in love." he said. "I was what you might call discouraged. You see. when 1 was very young 1 became enamoured of a young lady of my acquaintance. I was mortally afraid 1o tell her of my feeling, but at length 1 strewed up my courage to the prol osing point, I said: 'Let's get married." And 'she said, 'Why who'd have us?' "

They were very young and very happy, and very foolish and very newly wed. And they had a garden. "Angelica, darling," said the youthful liuband. "irs I was- passing through the garden I saw some asparagus ready for cooking. Perhaps you'd like td go and gather ihe first fru't of the season yourself?" She would love to, but she wasn't expert In horticulture and didn't want to let on. If she went alone she might commit some egregious blunder. "I tell you- what. Edwin," exclaimed the girl wife enthusiastically, "we'll po out together. You shall pluck and I will hold the ladder."

Answers to Questions

Mrs. B. S. L. Who is Vachel Lindsay? Vachel Lindsay of Illinois, an American poet who has received wide and favorable comment, first drew attention from reliable quarters less than eight years ago with an unusual poem entitled, "Creneral William Booth Enters Heaven." When the author undertook to explain just what he was aiming at, after the poem had received consideration from all sides, it was apparent that he was trying to

j restore poetry to its ancient position

as a spoKen art. That he might accomplish this aim Mr. Lindsay has done many things peculiar to the modern day poet. In or

der to be thoroughly familiar with the

selves for eifts. for doodads cute and

cunning. But when the New Year's i most minute detail of the life about

Day arrives, this folly let's be ending

let's renovate our wasted lives, and cut out foolish spending. It's time we were in training now, for future selfdenial, for framing up a solemn vow that we'll give thrift a trial. The old year, shaken, bent and white, goes out by easy stages: the New Year's coming start it right, and pickle half your wages! The vos we made in other years would do for idle friskers; we swore we'd cut our cards and beers and cigarets and whiskers. But we are facing sterner times; retrench

ment is the motto: the watchword!

now is, "Salt the dimes," and you'll agree we'd ought to. The old year, In its going, tells a t?.le of moneyburning; the New Year's coming, wearing bells then new leaves let's be turning!

TELLS OF BRITISH PLOT TO HINDER U. S. SHIPPING

Todav's Talk By George Matthew Adams

THE LITTLE TOWN. There is a quaint fascination to the little town. Something akin to that of a tiny baby. Both look helpless. But neither seems to be very much wrinkled up over worry. I was born in a little town. You can now almost throw a stone across

jits broadest part.

I like little towns. They are so human and understandable. They are not cruel and careless and selfish, as are so many of the great cities. Last summer I drove through dozens of these little towns that I love. In ray imagination I tossed tender touches of affection to the eld broken down houses. To the neatly kept yards of real homes, I bade a smile of, good will. There were many children playing among the flowers. And just outside of town, cows grazed at the grass and hewed their cuds along h3.ppy streams. The little town is a sacred shrine in the hearts of millions who now love to think of waking up in its beautiful cunshine and . of hearing its church bells and of those who "knew everybody in town." I would rather have lived in a little

ping board's activities, William Denman, first chairman of the board, startled the committee by revealing what be termed a plot by the British government to hamper construction of a formidable U.

S. to build wooden ship" which would be valueless in post-war competition for international trade, according to Denman.
