Christians fled all over the portions of the world then known, and the result was to greatly extend the spread and sway of that religion, until it became the principal faith held by the civilized world of that date. The persecution of the Jews likewise is going to drive those people all over the world. They are going to tell the world the full story of the wrongs and humiliations they have suffered. This will tend to alienate the friendship of great bodies of people from the German nation. The German government is reaching out for more trade and influence.

It will discover that the story of its doings toward the Jews will create alarm and horror. People don't like to do business with a country that tolerates such actions. It is quite likely that the masses of the German people do not approve of these cruelties, but their country will be blamed so long as these things go on. ri THE CHRONICLE is served weekly by mail, at 31.50 per annum 75c per six months, anywhere May your Christmas One of the pleasures of 1 in we untied states, ijz.uu per annum in tui-ida. $2.50 In other foreign countries.

We take this op- portunity to thank our A Few More Headaches For Mr. Wallace Now that a vote of the growers has rejected AAA marketing controls for burley and dark type tobacco as well as for other varieties of the product, Secretary Wallace will be faced by an increased demand for ending this system of regimentation. Senator Borah believes "the idea of production control is dead." But unfortunately for the taxpayers' pock-etbooks, many members of Congress who oppose this particular kind of regulation have other and equally costly schemes up their sleeves.

Some would have the Government guarantee prices of the portion of the crops consumed at home and dump the surplus in foreign markets for whatever prices it would bring. Dumping runs directly counter to Mr. Hull's reciprocal trade agreements. We don't allow others to depress our home market in this manner and they would doubtless resent application of the short-sighted plan to theni. Numerous other ideas are boiling in Mr.

Wallace's brain. One is revival of the processing taxes that were knocked out by the Supreme Court. The Secretary may be relying on the changed personnel of the court to insure a different decision next time. Mr. Wallace will urge his chimerical two-price scheme on Congress.

It comprises a mixture of public relief with aid to the farmer. These two activities should be kept as separate as relief and national defense. Selling part of the crops to the poor at low prices and the remainder at higher prices to those adjudged able to pay them would lead to endless complications. The fact is that in his constant groping for new formulas to help the farmer Mr. Wallace is merely resorting to makeshifts instead of devising permanent promising, workable reforms.

Does the world produce its equal as a picture and a spectacle? Even if this picture is seen in some modest and even humble home, it has its abundant light and radiance.

Even the simplest little Christmas tree has its loveliness. Its eternal green, the delicate tracery of its foliage, the symmetry of those little branches and twigs, the wonder of a creative power that could draw that beauty out of some stony hillside, are something to lift the imagination to high admiration. Then when that tree is illuminated with the lights of the season, vith ornaments adding their glitter and sparkle, what could be nicer in the house of a king? The joyful play of the children, the ardor with which they throw themselves into the Christmas games, the eagerness with which they dance around while awaiting their long-anticipated gifts, 3 nMM IIIIMSK I As night follows day, and day fol- aw mje luuw i1 in 111 ii hi win 12 Photographs Take Care of 12 Gift Problems and one 8x10 Colored Photo for your personal use PRICES RANGE FROM $4.00 TO $8.00 PER DOZEN I Congress. lows night, as human nature alternates between hope and fear, it seems inevitable that there should be some rising and falling of the industrial tide. Perhaps these cycles can never be wholly stopped.

Even the little rural church, bare and plain under ordinary circumstances, takes on new charm as the tireless workers adorn it with evergreen from the fields and woods. The choir singers caroling forth their anthems, the organ thundering forth its praises to God, add atmosphere to this picture, and send thrills into burdened hearts.

From these scenes of delight we emerge the day after, a bit tired with all the excitement, but cheered and comforted by the joy that has been given, and the delight of manifested friendship. The scene will long linger in our minds. MIT Reemy's Shoppe 13 West High Street Syracuse Daily Orange Has Record Edition When the Syracuse University football team finally beat Colgate on November 5, after fourteen long years of friendly rivalry, 30,000 copies of The Daily Orange, the university's daily newspaper, were distributed on the campus and sent to thousands of alumni soon after the goal posts had been torn down and dragged across the field. The Orange not only topped all other similar publications in the number of copies of the extra which were printed, but used a double streamer headline to inform readers that the Colgate jinx had finally been crushed, and that a record crowd of 35,000 had watched the Red Raiders meet defeat. On December 1, the Daily Orange celebrated its thirty-fifth anniversary by publishing a 32-page edition.

Among the celebrities who sent congratulations in commemoration of the anniversary was President Franklin D. Roosevelt. DOHW TO Human experience is the factor that deals best with such cycles. When people of good practical experience are put in places of power, they are likely to be able to forecast human action and adopt programs that will make the business machine run regularly. The American people could afford to pay many billions of dollars for a practical plan that would end and prevent depressions, but they ask that it be based on actual experience rit than on mere theories.

They needn't have any great fear. The sophistication of this too worldly planet descends on children far earlier than the parents realize. The youngsters have to learn that imagination plays a large part in life.

Things that may not be literally true in fact, are everlastingly true as a symbol of human conduct. Santa Claus does not come down througn the chimney, but he makes his way through harder places than that.

This gain is attributed to the action of the college in sending physical examination reports to the schools where the boys are prepared for college, which creates interest in good physical training. In primitive life, people probably stood up straight because their muscles grew strong in their active life, so that the body would take an erect form naturally.

LAUGHTON Osteopathic Physician By Appointment Increasing Incomes A COMMITTEE of the Federal Government which is beginning the investigation of economic conditions heard testimony showing the enormous gains that would be accomplished if families and individuals receiving less than $2500 a year could have this income increased. It was brought out that such increases would give employment to the surplus capacity of the industries, and business would hum with activity. Some will say the thing to do is to raise everybody's pay. As prices would probably go up correspondingly, there might not be any great net gain. If profits of business were reduced, there would be little encouragement for business concerns to expand, and some might shut down.

Apparently the only way to accomplish this greatly desired end is to formulate some plan which would help business to run more regularly. It is the spasmodic operation of many industries that does more than anything else to keep incomes down. Neurocalomeier X-Ray Palmer Graduate R. J. KEIPER, D.

WOLGEMUTH Mt Art Activities in School Brighten Lives of Pupils "The modern educational program in Pennsylvania has contributed to the 'pursuit of happiness' of all the pupils as well as to their common welfare," it was stated recently by Dr. Lester K. Ade, Superintendent of Public Instruction.

This is evident in the encouragement that has been given to Art Education in our public schools. It is a wise provision that lays foundations for art and beauty in the lives of all our boys and girls." 2,000,000 Made Happier Approximately 2,000,000 boys and girls of the State enjoy the benefits of a more beautiful and happier world as the result of the State Department's encouragement of art for every child. Art is a required subject for the 1,345,000 boys and girls in our elementary schools. Out of the 638,000 pupils in. our secondary schools, art is provided for pupils in the seventh, eighth, and ninth years, and is voluntarily selected by an ever-increasing number of pupils in the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth years.

These pupils may look forward to one hundred or more definite art vocations and pursuits. More Teachers of Art Further evidence of progress in the Arts is noted in the increase in the number of certified art teachers and supervisors from 630 in 1928 to 1108 in 1938. Many Pupils Make A Career of Art The financial assistance provided by the State for schools of Fine and Industrial Art helps to provide an outlet for talented young people in our secondary schools, and the State looks to these advanced institutions for architects, painters, designers, and craftsmen to meet the State's need for artists in various fields. Pennsylvania ranks high among the States, in its support of art as applied to school, home, and community life, and through various agencies in "Bringing Art to the People."

B. DIEROLF Druggist Effect of Persecution BE the effect in the long run of the very severe persecution which the German government is imposing on its Jewish citizens? We might consider the effect on the Christian religion of the persecutions to which its adherents were subjected in the Roman empire and various countries many centuries ago. A certain number of pagan Roman rulers thought in those periods that they could put down the Christian religion by cruel treatment of the Christians. One of their favorite diversions was to throw these martyrs into a den full of hungry lions, and have this revolting spectaele take place in an arena crowded with people, who seemed to enjoy the gory sight.
