In Bethlehem in My Dreams.
That night
I shall go to my window alone
And surely the heavens above;
I shall see the stars that shone
Upon. God’g Creation ot Love;
I shall see
Jesus Christ, Our Lord
In swaddling bands *
Held in Mary’s arms;
I shall see /
Wise men standing near
And angels hovering low ,
Above a manger-place;
^And if I lend a delicate ear,
I fancy that 1 shall hear
The angels’ songs.
. But—
Human ag I am—-
I shall wish that I had lived
In Bethlehem that night
That I might have held His chub
by hand ,
And listened to the crystal music
Of His first crying plight.

lect all of her expenses from the in-
hairtance fees and the income tax of

well, mr. pdflitor it seems that the
new moddel otter-mobiles are now a-
broad in the land 1 , this i s only novem-
ber 1936. but the 1936s are alreddy up
and a-gorng. they are like the wim-
mens styles; they always wear out
their new winter togs in julie and au
gust, and start on their spring things
in januwary and are they pretty?
the 1936 vehicles are made to run
facter than the 35s; that means that
•merica wil kill about 45,350 folks
next year instead! of only 34,000 this
year, as the ratio of speed seems to
be about 90 to 95. the new moddels
have 4 wheels, windshields, tale lights,
bumpers and glass windows, but they
say the difference is under the hood.
the down -payments will run from
34$ to 36$, and no cars wilj be rg>-
possessed until the buyer thereof
misses one payment or gets ketched
with a load of licker. all of the horns
seem to blow in b-flat and e-minor,
these late cars are so bilt that when
you have a wreck yore nake gets
broke on the steering wheel instead
of against the windshield as hereto-
foar. , i
the low-swung boddies will kill folks
without so much pain, as they are
sharp near the axles and that will
cut their heads off. the old moddels
would run over little fellers and they
would) suffer for hours, but the new
speed maniacs have overcome this, it
will be almost impossible for old men
and old wimmen to cross the street
from now on, and they mought as well
just take a dose of pizen and die at
home.
sober folks will be asked by the
highway department to stick to 50
m. p. h., but no control will be un
der took over drunk,people till they
have run over someboddy—and killed
him. . . most men who get as
manny as 3 sheets in the wind think
th«y can drive much better with the
said 3 sheets waving to Snd fro than
they can with what little sense they]
have while unintoxicated) ansoforth.
the old 1935 moddel cars will scon
be traded in and everybody will be
sheeting along in their new 1936
•homes, with only 50c, lyorth of gro
ceries in the kitchen, which will fee
bought on creddick, and 3$ worth of
gass and oil in the old boat, and 2
months rent past due, and the dr. done
rgot, and the preecher not even
thought of, and only 11 more pay
ments ahead- hurrah for everything
and everboddy! ain’t we happy?

«ieer sir:—
i am riting you about «. 1936 tag
Jar dudd Clark’s strip down ford which
r »
r everboddy ought to know, that 3$
is more than a tag ig worth, as itjuh’t
made out of hothing but a peafJ"of
tin ware and painted with paint, the
State railly ought to sel them at about
2$ per dozen if they only wanted) to get
their monney back, dudd Clark pre
fers a green tag if you have any in
stock.
scudd Clark, my secont son, made
him a tag in 1929, but the highway
patter-role slathmed him in jale and
madfe the riter hereof pay 10$ for im
personating a man who had bought a
tag. all laws i s geting too strict and
a poor man hag no libberties except
off in his field by hisself.
plese rite or foam at once about
yore prices at this time, if you can’t
cut them down, plese hold everthing
till the leggis-latter or suppreme
coarts meet and mebbe they will give
the new deal a chance, by the time
a man pays 6$ for a tag as heretofoar,
he is too poor to ride, and furthermore,
3$ tags pay; look at georgy, she has
had 3$ tags for~3\vears, and now she
has over 75 miles of paved roads, and
will probably pave 4 or 6 more miles
in 1942. .. .
it is up to^ you. our offer stands
good for 10 days. 3$ for a green
tag is our figger, and no more, we
won’t have-a yellar tag like you have
beno selling to our nabors. befoar
we will pay over 3$ we will let dudd’s
coopy strippdown be repossessed, and
we will go back to walking just like
we done while the republicans were
in the last time, rite or foam.
yores for lower tags,
mike Clark, rfd.

STUTTERING DUE TO

New York.—^Stutterer? are being
cufed at the rate of IjDQO a year in
one -of America’s unique institutions,
the “Stutterer’s Clinic’’ in New York
city.
Dr. James S. Greene, medical dir<
tor of the National Hospital for Spe<
Disorders, destroyed mtony long-ac<
ed legends about stuttering in a rep<
to the American Medical asqgciatli
Stutterers, Doctor Greene fouim, d<
need to learn to talk; all they neei
to get rid of some hidden “fear Com
plex.”
“Stuttering,” Doctor Greene said re
cently, “is usually caused by a conflict
* with environment, which results in an
anxiety-fear complex. In all cases
where there is no mechanical difficulty,"f:
psychological treatment is certain to
suc«eed. When there Ig physical dis
ability, we cure the mechanical troifc
ble and then clear up the complex.
“Stuttering speech," Doctor Greens
explained, “is not a speech disorder.
It Is a nervous mal-adjustment All
.stutterers can talk. % So I don’t teach
„ them to talk; I teach them to over
come the neuroses which interfere with
their expressing themselves.
”1 say to my patients, ‘You can talk
as well as I can.’ And I prove it to
them.”- 4
• Doctor Greene describes how one
person may go through “shocks of op
positional environment” in childhood
or adult life, and not have his speech
affected, while another apparently nor
mal individual, the “potential stutterer
type,” comes out stuttering, or with
some similar speech disorder.
The clinic creates new environment
for the second type, teabhes him to
“acquire emotional stability,” gives him
new self-assurance, and by composite
therapy, including individual and group
medical, psychology!, psychiatric, so
cial and educational treatments, “re
turns him to normal social condition.”

Prices for Diamonds
Rising, Experts Agree
London.—London’s diamond kings,
controllers of the world’s, supply, are
to release for sale more uncut stones
within the next few weeks than were
sold throughout the whole of the last
year. . '
So convinced are they that the world
has recovered enough to indulge, once
more In luxuries that prices are being
advanced 7(4 per cent, and there is
confidence that ajl stones' offered will
be sold.
Altogether stones worth more than
$15,000,000 will be offered to selected
buyers from all parts of the world
within two months. The Diamond cor
poratlon, which has accumulated $45.-
OOO.OOi) worth of stones during the
years of depression, has been allocat
ed a quota in the sales next month
Invitations already have been dis
patched to representative brokers In
Amsterdam, Antwerp, Vienna, Paris,
Bombay, and New York.
The central selling agency of the
diamond groups is in a four-story
building off Holborn. Every foreign
buyer is shown into a walnut paneled
room. He is accompanied by a repre
sentative of the sellers. On a square
of plain white paper is poured a little
heap of graded, uncut stones. It rep
resents a fortune.
The buyer examines the stones,
makes his choice, pays his price, and
departs with a tiny package as casual
ly as If he had purchased a bag of
nuts.
Biggest buyers are expected to be
New York adid India. American jew-"
elers’ Stocks are believed to be low
est since the depression. India’s de
mand is based on “dehoarding” of gold
by the princes.

KGFJ, landed In a truck of rubbish
parked at the curb, recovered his com
posure, walked away.
Flattery Now Bait
Collectors Favor
Milwaukee.—The bill collectors 4n
these pr.rts have thought up a new
way to catch you at home.
A dulcet professional voice calls
on the telephone and asks the name
of yeur favorite radio program. A
check, says the voice, is being made
on the popularity of broadcasts.
Will you be listening to that pro
gram tonight?
Thrilled by. this attention, yon
promise to llsteh In at a certain
hour. When that time comes, a bill
collector ia ringing the front door

the last five years Richardson,
n police equipment salesman, has been
conducting personal demonstrations of
his bullet-proof vests, firing away at
himself when no one else would take
the risk r of holding the gun.

put on the vest of a competitor to
prove he wasn’t ringing In a tin Vest
for the sake of comparlsoh with his
own. ,
“That was the worst beating I ever
took from a bullet” said Richardson.
“It burned and stung my whole left
side.”
'Public Buys Grapes
From Historic Vine
London.—More than 500 bunches
of grapes, each weighing a pound
and a half, were gathered this year
from the one hundred and sixty-
seventy-year-old vine at Hampton
Court palace, which Cardinal Wol-
sey built and gave to Henry VHI.
The grapes annually are sold to the
public for $L26 a pound, pins a
small charge for baskets, which are.
made by the blind. '
“Are you forty years of age?” Lewis
J. Valentine, commissioner of police,
inquires on placards in B. M. T. sub
way trains. Then the boss of all of
New York’s cops continues: “In over
oqe-half of all the fatalities caused by
motor vehicles on odr streets, the vic
tims are over fbrty years of age. The
principal causes are: Crossing against _
traffic lights, ^tossing not at cross- j
togs: When young, one is taught to
utilize Increasing power. After middle
age, a one should educate one’s self to
take tare of .diminishing power and
alertness. Learn to grow old safely
and happily.” And I’m wondering if
all those who reac| those placards,
after leaving the trains', actually-wait
for the traffic light to change before
sslng the street.

r The relationship pf subways to J. P.
Morgan more than 'likely does not ex
tend belond securities of operating com
panies, if that much, since Ms. Mor
gan is never seen among asTsardtoes.
Nevertheless, the fact remains that he
is .still the heaviest Individual tax
payer in Glen Cove, Long Island. Hta
assessment this year is $1,439,000. Mar-,
tinecock, his Island estate, Is assessed
at $985,000. The assessment of. his
son, Junius'S. Morgan, is $526,500 and
that of^hts son’s wife, $56,000, while
Mrs. Francis T. Pennoyer, his daugh
ter, Is assessed at $170,000'. As a fam
ily, however, the Morgans are topped
by the Pratts with a total assessment
of $5,385,005. Somehow or other, it
doesn’t seem right to tack on that
extra $5?. %

Still darting here and there, we come
upon Miss Bea Gottlieb. She sailed
for Europe recently abd took with her
the hope that she might have a game
of golf with none other than His Royal
Highness, the Prince of -Wales. Curt-i
ously enough, Miss Gottlieb may hayp
a.chance. It.may be remembered.that
three years ago an American girl
achieved international fame because of
the fact that the 7 prince watched her
play and, admiring h£r swing, arranged
for a match. Not only was the match
played .hut the prince was defeated by
the American. And that American
girl was Miss Bea Gottlieb. .

Then there is Mrs. Mabel Brevoort
Stevens who achieved local fame. She
did it by raising eight bunches of mus-
cfit grapes on top of an apartment
house down in Old Chelsea. To make
the garden in which the grapes have
grown, ten tons of earth had to be
raised 10 floors, which is quite a chore
and a bit expensive, too. Mrs. Stevens
is an experienced city gardener. When
she lived on Beekmap place, one year
she raised 23 hunches of grapes on the
same vines. They were transplanted
two years ago. The move didn’t (Jo
them any good as they refused to bear
'until this summer. Mrs. Stevens also
has a flower garden, and is hoping to
grow fruit trees against the brick wall
of the buildingr-^

it did rain, he couldn’t fix It Up at

The intersection of Amsterdam' ave
nue and Sixty-second street seems to
be a dangerous corner for Detective
Thomas Mason of the police' narcotic
squad. The other night, despite hi»
tramp disguise, he was recognized at
that corner as a cop and shot In the
hand. Last winter, he probably saved
his life by beating the other fallow to
the draw and shooting him. A few
months earlier, he was stabbpd seri
ously. Nevertheless, in the .tost
weeks, he and his partneijKCharles
Lennan, have made 22 arrests In that
vidnity. ^
