Show lAKEIT By FROM DAD Sy I'm Going to Quit School and Go to Work Bob was all boy, every Inch of him ! To call til m an animated Interrogation Fl point would be putting It mildly; alive from head to toe, eyes open, ear open; his mind an endless sensl-tlv- e movie film ditch-ing everything that came his woy ; a grow-iL- g unfolding young modern American (of which there are aome twen'y-flv- million more or less In this iana or ours). Above everything else Bob was a never-endin- g array ot questions. No sooner would Dad have his dinner and get comfortably settled with his paper than Bob would appear, a.fter twelve hour of busy activity, as fresh aa a lily and loaded with a n? perplexing juery for Dad. It got to be a regular game at the Smlthhoughs, this question and an-swer mutter, until Dad Smlt (though often found himself wondering through the day or aa he relaxed a bit on the way home, what fool question Rob would have concocted for him that day. Ols dad bad alwaya been too busy for qneatlona and he often recalled as he pondered some of the "stagger era" bis Bob handed him, bow dif-ferent he might have been If bis father uad only talked things over wlt!i him So, after Bob Smithhnugh had floored his dad few times with queries that were too deep for the old gentleman, be began to prepare him-self. Tonight, obviously, something wns wrong. Bob was quiet, almost melan-choly ind noticeably Irritable. Some-thing had gone wrong I In due time It wonld come out and it did. When both gravitated to the living room, without much ado and no Introduction to the subject. Bob seated himself half dejectedly and askefl bla question by way of an ultimatum. "Pop, I'm going to quit school and go to work." "That so," said Dad, without look-ing up. "Been elected president of an oil company or director of the United States Steel Corporation? Congratu-lations, n.' boy, I didn't suppose you bad sufficiently trained your mind as yet for so great a responsibility. Now If you had said you were going to work on a road gang or had a job de-livering milk, I would have under-stood." There was a friendly twinkle In Dad'a eye and a humorous tone In his voice. "When 1 was your age. Bob, rd have given anything I possessed to have gone to school and I didn't have any modern university like your new school to go to either, but I had to work to help the old folks make ends meet. The thing which I knew best waa that I didn't know much. I read a good deal and waa Just sort of half conscious of a great marvelous world about me and I was hungry to learn. 1 didn't want to live In my little world always. 1 wanted to know about science and Invention and travel. I was hungry to be in the midst of the big things of the world. I was earning twenty dollars a month and my room and board and lived twenty miles from enywhere. I longed to be In 'be midst of things; to be a somebody and do something beside bard manual labor all the time. I had to fight for my chance. Bob. Tours came without a fight, that's why It seems worthless to you. "What's wrong teacher ridden you a bit, perhaps oawled yon out? Per haps you blufTed and got caught I Yes well take your medicine like a man, my boy, but listen, remember you're a Smlthhough the only male descendant Dad's counting on you to do at least some of the things he wanted to do and dreamed about but never could. Quit school? Nonsense Listen, the only thing In the world they give away today is an education. A regular boy who n.enns business can have all of It he'll take. Think of It, all the education that you'll ac-cept, free; high school, college, and then on and on If you dps I re. It's simply up to you. The big stick of modern achievement Is In your head, hey. See thnt little stnhhy red vol-ume there on the shelf. That's the latest 'Who's Who In America. Bob. There are about thirty thousand brief biographies of American men ami women of accomplishment in thnt book the folks who have led out In every single realm of constructive thought and action only twenty-seve-of them stopped school In the eight n grade. "The other day I saw a very In-teresting query. 'When Is a man edu-cated?' and the answer was. 'When he can look Into a mudpuddle and see more there than mere mud !' Bob. education Is the knowledge of how to use the whole of ones self.' and no boy In the eighth grade has ever approached thnt point. "It's true college doesn't make fools. It Just develops them. If you're a dumbbell you haven't much chance, but Bob. you're no dumbbell You have the physique and the mind In the making, hut It takes effort and struggle. Now get at your lessons Know a little more history than your teacher tomorrow. And Boh did! (ffl.

Virginia, your little friends ars wrong. They have been alfeuted by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which la not comprehensible by their little mlnde. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or little children's, are little. In this great universe of ours man Is a mere insect, an ant.

Many of them are addressed In her maiden name but they are delivered to her at the home of ber father, Dr. Philip O'Hanlon, where Christmas la ob served Just aa it was In 1897. At that home an enterprising re-porter sought her out In 1027. usl thirty years after her famous lettet waa written, and In a copyright ar-ticle leaned by the North American Newspaper Alliance, Virginia O'llnnlon Douglas reaffirmed her belief that Frank Church was right In saying there Is a Santa Claua because he Is the symbol for the faith the world lives by. She said: I wish that it could be made easier fn r all hlMrn A h.ll.u. In Qnnta killed In the wreck.

And when you have visualized him you will have communed with Divinity. Your Banta Claue Uvea, Opal Marie, and there la no barm that can ever be-fall him. Is there a Santa Claus? Ask J. F. Murtin, postmaster of the town of Santa Onus, Ind I For there Is such a town (not to mention a St. Nicholas, Pa.) and the story of how It came Into being la Interesting. The town Santa Clnua was first christened Santa Fe, when It waa founded In 1846. One Thomas Smith, a surveyor, waa called upon to plot the place, orig-inally composed of seventeen town lots. Seventy-si- x years before that time. Shadrack Hall bad built a tan-nery there. For several years the town went by the name of Santa Fe, the populu tlon Increasing all the while. After families had settled In the village, it was decided to apply to the govern-ment for a post office. While the re-quest waa being considered, postal au-thorities observed that there waa an cither town In Indiana named Santa Fe. Consequently the post office de partmem ruled that there could not be post offices In two towns of the same natr.e In any one state Notice to that effect was sent to the people of Santa Fe a few daya before Christ inns. In 1S55. Immediately call-ing a mass meeting to see what could be done about renaming the town, the citizens of Santa Fe decided to give their village the name of Santa Claua si exieie aa certainly aa love ana gen-erosity and devotion exlet, and you know that they abound and give to yout life It highest beauty and joy. Alaal how dreary would be the world If there were no Santa Claua. It would b drear aa If there wer no Vi-rginia. There would be no child-lik- e faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable thla existence. W should hav no enjoyment, except In ens and slsrht. Th eternal light with which childhood All th world - would be extinguished. Not believe In Banta Claus? Tou might a wall not believe In falrleal Tou might get your papa to hire men to watcb In all th chimney on Christ-Ev- e to catch Santa Claua, but vn If they did not Banta Claus coming down, what would that prove T No-body aeea Santa Claua. but that la no sign that there 1 no Banta Claue. The most real thlntre In th world are those that neither children nor men can sas Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of courae not, but that'a no proof that they ar not there. Nobody can conceive or Imagln all th won-ders there ar unseen and unaeeabl la th world. - Tou may tear apart th baby's rat-t- l and what make th nola in-side, out there I a veil covering the - unseen world which not th ctrongest man, nor even th unites strength of all th strongest men that ever lived. - could tear apart Only faith, fancy, poetry, lov. omance, can puah aatd that curtain and view and picture th supernal beauty and glory beyond. 1 It all reair Ah, Virginia, In all thla world ther la nothing lee real and abiding. No Santa Claua? Tkank Oodt he live forever. A thousand year from now, Virginia, nay, ten time tea thousand year from now n will con-tinue to make glad th heart of child-hood. It Is doubtful If Clnrch realized, when he wrote that editorial, that be had penned a classic. Yet, such was the case, for lo tbe years that have followed It has been reprinted, both voluntarily and by request. In thou-sands of newspapers thousands ot times. It baa been translated Into many foreign languages (even the Chinese I) and every year around Christmas time you will see It In print somewhere. Not only has "Yes, There Is a Santa Claus" become a part of the American Christmas tradition but tbe little eight-year-ol- d Virgin O'Hanlon. who once wanted her faith In Santa Claus reaffirmed, has become a legend, and as such, some have doubted tbat there ever waa such a glrL For the reas so ranee of those It may be said thnt there not only was such girl but that she still Is living. The little Vir-ginia O'Hanlon of 1807 la Mrs. Vir-ginia O'Hanlon Douglas of today a school teacher in New Tork, widow and the mother of a daughter, Laura Virginia, who, It Is needless to say. also believes that there Is a Santa Claus. Since Virginia O'Hanlon's letter was first printed letters have come to her every Christmas, from lonely people whose faith In all things Is shaken She has become a symbol of trust and of everlasting childhood, for many of Claua, In th way that Mr. Church meant. My only doubt, when I waa email, wa about th tdtntlty of Santa Claus Bom of my ptaymatea were akeptlcal Their own parente were under auspl-elon- . So 1 began to wonder whether any Christmas presents really cam down the chimney, and whether tbe mocking at the fireplace would be filled by a picturesque old fellow from the North pole. But I'm afraid there ar many thou-and- a of children without any confi-dence that their atorklnga will be Oiled by anybody. It has alwaya been ao. but It aeema worae now. becauae the children from poor bomea are taken to th big store, by thetr teacher In th kindergartens and ach Is. and aee all of the dol'e and toy that more fortunate children will receive. Half dased, the poor little thing ar led through alalea overflowing with the moat wonderful and expenatve toys, rnd then they are presented to th store Banta Claua, and he asks them what they want. Timidly they epea. of a doll or a drum, or aome trinket of no ronaequenc In the luxuriant atock of a big ator. And they men-tion It only to be polite. There may be a 8anta Claua, but not for them Last Chrlatmaa there wasn't any. Isn't ther aome way to keep every child from being entirely disappointed on Chrlatmaa day? Couldn't th teach-er In th arhoola And out th simple, modest deaire of thee wistful chil-dren, end then couldn't the community provide the money to giv to every mall child th particular (mail toy that be cravee? It may be Impracticable but It I more than a aentlmental wish. I think that vr child ahould hav th con-fidence and faith that ar typified by a belief In Banta Claua. I don't mean that perfect truat In th Integrity of parenta, which begin before a baby discover th moon and th a rasa, and toe cream and Chrlatmaa, and ends when he flnda certain parkasea tucked way In the closet, about the middle of December. That perfect truat 1 lovely and touching, and aomethlng to make thoughtful parenta feel meek and In-adequate, but It can paaa without sen-ou- a consequences I mean belief In people and In the goodness of life, and In th spirit of Chrlatmaa Within recent yeurg there has been written another "Sunta Cluus edlto rial," brought about by circumstance similar to those which Inspired Church's Immortal bit of prose, which reassures childish faith In the good St. Nick and which. If one may safely predict what will or will not heoime a "Newspaper Classic." may eventual ly enjoy a wide fame. It appeared In the Greenwood (Ark.) Democrat and reads as follows: SANTA CLAUS. IMMORTAL Opal Marie Adam, heard eome f her elder discussing t news Item which told of the death, in a wreck, of a man who was playlns Santa Claua This new of th death of Santa Claua wa g to th little girl.

II has about one hundred Inhub Itants. hmista a milk and cream sta-tion, a blacksmith shop and a comhi nation general store and post office over which Mr. Martin presides But the most Interesting thing about Santa Claua Ind.. Is the fact that every year that post office (s flooded with letters to Santa Claus from children not only from all parts of the United States but from Canndn. Mexico and other foreign countries as well. Mr. Martin has been postmaster for twenty-seve- yenrs and In that time has played Santa Clntia to millions of children. For he rends all letters he receives from children and. If he hna time, answers' some of them "Mostly, they're Just gentle remind ers to Santa." he says "Sometimes I run acrosa queer requests for gifts One boy asked for a buhy elephant.' On rare occasions he receives letters after Chrlstmita. thanking Santa for past favors.. During the Christmas season parents wishing In make the Vuletide more realistic often mall boxes of addressed and stamped let-ters to the Santa Claus post office to Imve them Msted with the official "Santa Onus" postmark Many per sons Interested in unusuat stamp can epilations write to the postmaster ask ing him to cancel stamps on enclosed envelopes and return them by mall. i News Notes It's a Privilege to Live In I UTAH MORGAN Approximately 400 cars of green tomatoes were shin-- ped from Utah this year, produce men say.
