NOT WHAT. BUT HOW. Every once In a while these day.v one is rcmini1M that In a llttlo whil Chri.--tm.is will bt- here. Of rourso th mrry season is still more than two weeks .".way, but niiiny childrf-n and Krown-ups hrtvealrrajy ocgun to make thflr plans. To do tho kind of thins: that old Krlskringlc dos takes a lot of planning If it 1 to dono well; in a manner of ."peakinK" you have to pet ready for it. Not that this planning Is ever hard work, even If you f?o at It with all your miht and main; bf 'uuv as every hoy and lri knows when you do anything to nuake anyone liappy, it is nfver hard work, .'ind the more patience and skill you have to employ in dolr.ff it, tho more fun it i.-. If you w re to ask him face to face, Santa Claus would tell you that a loL of people mis half the fun of Christmas becauao they forpet that it isn't what i.- piven that counts. but how the thinp la piven. He would tell you that what a thins costs, or how much It shine.?, has nothing- to do with i What really counts in how much eflectlon and kindness and well-wishing you put into it. It's what you are. anil not what the gift is, that counts. 'Hiat'.H why Christmas is such a wonderful season; and that In why mo?t people who like S'anta Claus arid ChrLumas try to plan and pret ready for this Krtat day. .. that they may have most of themselves to Kivo wh-n that day com-?. Santa Claus never yet waited, till tho last minute and th-n scurried arouml and wondered what he wnuid do about this and about that. You can puess from th' rtori-n they tell about him. and from the way Ik? looks, that ho i tho kind who doa tlilni; when they ought to bo done quite a while before the laaL minute.

EVADING DISARMAMENT. A Japmp' ofUclal stated a few days ago that thb world was not ready for disarmament, and thereby vclofd a sentiment that receives the support of a n imbcr of other great power, whoso repeated expr sltn. fr universal peace probably mailt; them 4hanW to admit tho truth. If the world is not re-idy to disarm, what, it ntay be asked, does tho world propose to do in the interim between the present and the time when disarmament becomes the fixed policy of the nations? "What bloodshed and what destruction are contemplated or probable? The allies have forced Germany to give up pract. tally all the more formidable instruments of war. hut It 1 estimated by an allied military- commander that great quantities of small arms and supplies are Mill b inc: held, hidden away by the people. IIrs (Jermany ntalr.ed the nucleus of another great war machine? The truth Is that mir.kir.ii. in the hias. likes the clink of the swur.i and the other accornpanirr.ents of war, and above all it likes to enhanco its own interest even to the xtent of taking away trom other the thlnrs that are rightfully their property. The tirao for disarmament would be the present if the nations were willing to admit tho rights of th peopled to cuter lnr posfssion of their rightful lnberitAiices and work out their national life in a way that would benefit the race. The spirit of conquer: and revenge is slill rampant In the thoughts of many peoples, and pface can never b Kneral until thso thoughts eeuse to dominate.

THE LEAGUE AND ARGENTINA. The League of Nutior.s assembly dici quite th nht thing not to fall the ay prey to Argentina': demand that she b" permitted to run the whol institution. That in what tlie South American repul'IIc's attitudo baa tinountf J to. She must have her amendments adopted and demand granted at once, she would withdraw; juit' Pru.-vi.incsquo but typical for Argentina so largely of C.erman blood. Well, the League, too diplomatic of course to put It in words, has as much as said to Germany's entering -we-dire, that she Is not quite r ady to begin beir.s- bullied iron; lu-riln, and will deal with tho.o demands, and proje.jwd amendnicnts. in the regular way. and according to tho pleasure of the majority when that majority gets ready. IVemler Pueyrrdon cm now o bark home if h llkfd and play "rtr.g round tlie rosy" with his thumU, while the. Germans in Argentina throw cut their cheats and imagine they have bitten a nail Li two. They will be as chesty as the pro-German of the United States wero last Nov. J. and in degree, two years previous. Hut to pass to the merits of the controversy, Argentina's demands mlht not Lave been ro bad, but for the way In which sho pre-sentd them, and thir almost open purpose. Premier J'ueyrrdcn wa- the champion of Germany's dwund, and of her repudiation of those clauses of the Versailles treaty disposing of the German colonic from the very moment that those demands were

prrnt1 nt inew Th Argentine demands wre t-'.tir.ly presented to ...-sis. (Jrrnany in her cause Vh.fi sh added her threat to withdraw if those lem. n l" were not immediately acceded to, there waiiothing l-ie for a If-rspeeting league of Nations to do but to take its Mme and not re placed In th---pr.sition of heinic coercd, so arly in Its history, and particularly with th cortior. so plainly rominir. though indirectly, from the very power tlie destinv of uhich it is em- of the tlr?t functions, of th-; lairu-- to .-.ttle. Germany, wf beliee. imtsht accomplish mor.wer.- .-he to throw herself "upon tho merry of the court." as criminals sometimes do; would accomplish tu. re for herself, than by constantly petting in "eontempt of court," to which her efforts to undermine tlie Iaque. bears a very clos resemblnr.ee. Most of the nations In the league seem t have been favorably disposed to certain of Germany's demands, and several of Argentina's proposals, up to the timo that they were presented In uch threatening tones; favorable to them too in spite of the f.ict that France in her impetuous way, had. quite Argentinellke, talked the same Hort of threatening nonsense. Poes it mean that the league of Nations before it -an become a real lvalue of Nations, will have to undergo what the United States of America underwent before we became a real United States of America really "united." During the llrst 70 years of this republic, threats of secession was the j.astime of th Ktate, at times in the north, then in the south, finally culminating in the socalled southern confederacy and the great rebellion. I'very time the congress did something that som state didn't like, or refused to do something that some state wanted done, there was a threat cf secession on claim of constitutional right, and it took four years to thrash that doctrine out of American minds. There hasn't been any threats of secession from the states of the Union since the Civil war. It may be necessary for some wouldbe autocrat like Argentina or egotistical America, :n its determination to be boss, or be nothing, to get a lesson similar to that dealt the south by the north, before the League of Nations will have lis full force and effect. Anyhow the League seems somewhat wise to what is going on.

OBREGON'S BOYS. I'res't Obregon of Mexico has announced that ho is not going to live in the presidential palace, historic Chapultapec castle, because he "doesn't want his boys to tear it up." That is the most appealing thing that has come out of Mexico In connection with the. recent inaugural ceremonies. Obregon certainly has a brood of regular boys If he Judges them capable of tearing down that big, rock-built castle that has withstood many a military assault. Any father's heart warms instinctively toward those boytf, even while the father mentally reaches for a stick. The really significant thing, however, is the attitude the new president shows toward public property. That is something new in Mexico. Obregon has rented a small house at the foot of the cliff upon which the palace stands, and will use the latter only on state occasions. It is somewhat as If an American president were to leavo the white house vacant, and take up his quartern in the garage, to stive a venerable monument from wear and tear and to demonstrato true democracy. So far, that man Obregon haa made a fine start and an excellent Impression, lie may go far, if ho doesn't have to give too much of his time to npanklng thoe boys. o There are probably not many of those old-fashioned doctors left the ones who charged the rich enough for treatment to make up for what they lost on the poor. 0 There are a lot of women and girls who dress sensibly and act the same way, but tho average man never seems to see them to hear him tell it. SIDE SHOWS AND CULTURE. Those who have been pessimistic about the trend of amusements may take new hope. The American .-rsociation of Fairs and Kxpositions announces that it Is placing a b an on thft old, familiar dime museum freaks. The "dog-faced boy," the "bearded lady," the "India rubber man." the "living skeleton" and all their weird fraternity are dismissed. In thej.stead the fairs and expositions are to offer "refined sketches, comedies and movies." "The people are too intelligent these days to take an interest In freaks," pays the president of the association. "They don't appeal even to the children. Fairs have lost money by these old show methods, and we must change with the times." Tlie loss of public interest and showmen's money in mere freaks of nature, is certainly a wholesome sign. An interest in drama, as purveyed in the vaudeville and movie houses, is certainly more intellectual, however those diversions may fall short of the ideals of censorious critics. Bad na a vaudeville sketch or a melodramatic film may be. It is probably preferable, on the whole, to an absorbing interest in a two-headed calf or Bosko, who "eats 'em alive." A nation's culture L to bo judged by its amusements. Our culture is rising by the surest process; it is being pressed up from the bottom. o Armenia may console herself with the thought that if anything worse could be don to her, the Turks would have done It long ago. o - Pr.e would think that Uurope had been "fed up" on wars by this time.

"Is that all?" drooled she, for it was her turn to speak. "I love you." he went cn. (for mind you it was his turn to tpe ik. ) "I love, you like the Herald-Examiner loves a girl's diary."

Citizens of Macroom, in peaceful Ireland, have been warned to keep their hands out of their pockets when appearing on the streets of tho town. In case of a sudden drop in temperature, Macroom citizens will be out of luck.

I ASK YOU'S. Here are two foolish questions, (That at a glance is seen!) What is it makes Anne Little, And what makes Doris Keane? And here are two more questions That set my senses reelln'. What did Harold Bell Wright, And why is Marshall Neilan? Say, which of these two maidens Beauty's crown shal lwear. If you call Arllne Pretty. And also Elinor Fair? And what is your opinion Should these two stars compete; Do you think Louise lively, And would you call Blanche Sweet? This query', if you answer. Will cover you with glory; What favorite tale does Wallace Reid Is it an Edith Storey? These piscatory riddles Your solving now awaits Is Margaret a Fisher. And does sho use Blanche Bates? Here are two awful mysteries. To which I hunt the clue; What is it makes Pearl White; Why isn't Monte Blue? This querry may seem shocking. (A fact I must deplore, If no debts is Seena Owen. Shouldn't folks stop Owen Moor-? Upon these fearful queries I often deeply muse; What is it that Doris May? What did Anita Loos? These two Interrogations Hold me in their spell; What lass does Montagu Love, And why won't Bert Lytell?

More Truth Than Poetry By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

JUST FOLKS By EDGAR A. GUEST

THOUGHTS ON WORMS. A Colorado entomolygist Insists that insects would provide us with excellent food were it not for our prejudices. Wo have no doubt that bran and

hay are filling; We're not averse to dietetic stunts We've eaten whale and shark, and we are willing To sample almost any creature once. We quite applaud the scientist's endeavor To build synthetic food of harmless drugs. But not for any reason whatsoever Will we eat bugs. We're fond of bug. we think they're pretty creatures The bugs that fly the. bugs that squirm and crawl Tlie ugliest have their redeeming features. We know they must be useful, one and all. We like to watch the butterflies at twilight. To so them svail on every breeze that stirs. We like to watch the moths above th skylight Though not In furs. But while we have no doubt that they're nutritious And cooked with butter sauce would likely mako A dish as appetizing and delicious As oysters, fish, or even sirloin

steak We feel that there's a squashiness above them. A certain softness that could not be chewed, And wo are sure we'd rather do without them. Though starved for food. The lusty trout has ro such stern objections Whatever bug he finds delights his soul He eats the angle worm In writhing sections And swallows beetles, gnats and locusts whole. But though the trout may be the moth aspire. When he observes him. perched upon a limb. We'll eat the Insect food we may require When we eat him. (Copyright. 19:0.)

You may dream of riches and all the joy which silver and gold can buy, But the greater the wealth that shall come to you. the greater your care shall lie; Tor the more that this Uf shall give to you, the. more to life von must give, t Vor this is the great unwritten law; No man to himself can live. Has God bestowed on you talents rar by which you may rise t fame? Thin upon your soul he ha laid the charge with courace to use the same; Nor skill nor power can brine y..u eas for this you shall find is true He who has much to do with here, hall ever have much to do. For life and talent and wealth and fame are given to men in tru"t. And each must work with the gifts he has till his flesh returns to dust, For this is tho law which governs all and this is the common test lie that shall come to the best life lias, must give to the world Iiis best.
