Although the battal¬ ion offlcers could not be there to re- ceiTe the flags for their men, the pro¬ gram was In other respects complete, ¦nd letters describing It were for¬ warded to them in France so that all the boys might know what took place.
There were representatlvefi of traffic districts from Nyack to Asbury Park aud from New Hochelle to Jamaica, as well as from the metropolitan dis¬ tricts, and to know each other face to face, as well as over the wires, was a privilege which the usual tenor of op¬ erating life does not afford.

Miss Brennan Raid :
"We have come to you, Mr. Schultx, In behalf of the operating forces to enlist your good offices In presenting thess flags to our men now In our country's service, and to ask you to transmit our message to them.
"From our girls to our boys in ap¬ preciation of the great sacrifice they are making in upholding and protect¬ ing all that these emblems represent, ali that ciTtllzation holds most dear.
'¦•We want to tell you that your glori¬ ous service flag, with its thousands of stars, is ever waving before us, tilling our hearts with affection and pride and Inspiring us to do our bit witb greater earnestness and loyalty.
"We, far from the 'firing line,' are ever thinking of you and praying that Ood In His infinite goodness will lead you to success and bring you home safely, making it possthle that at the home roll call each name called will meet with the response, 'Here.' "
Mr. Schults, accepting the banners on behalf of the absent offlcers aud men, responded In these words:
"Miss Brennan and ladies represent¬ ing traffic depnrtmont employees of this company:
"During my mnny yenrs of experi¬ ence I have been dlrecteiUand recpiest- ed to perform lusiuy nets tbat afforded
me great pleasure, but I want to as sure you that no task that I have ever been asked to perform afTords me more pleasure than to accept this rs- sponslblUty and to forwsrd thesa beau¬ tiful flags and guidons and yoar ex¬ pression of kind thoughts and noble sentiments from our girls over here to our boys over there.
"Speaking on behalf ef the boys, knowing them as we all do, who have profed themselves good, loyal em¬ ployees of this company, we can feel quite sure that the same loyalty and fidelity will prevail In this great world conflict that they are now engaged In. -I can safely say that they will uphold the honor, both of the flag, our own Stnrs and Stripes, and of these beau¬ tiful t'uldons which you are sending to them."
The Colors.
The colors presented included three flags and four guidons. Each of the two company iruidons of silk for pa¬ rade purposes was repeated In bunting for service, and there were also both u tiUk and a hunting American flag. The battalion flag was elaborately em- hrtiidered by band, insignia and letter¬ ing being of solid embroidery, and the Ktnrs (if the silk American flag were also hand embroidered.
NEW YEAR
RESOLUTIONS
There aro mnny lt?s.sons we should learn from observation before they are taught us by experience. Willingly or unwillingly we shall have to learn theui and the consequences will bear less heavily upon us if we anticipate tJie necessity and are able to pass through the test when it comes, iustead of failing through unpreparedness.
Kxperlence is the best teacher, and when the experience of others wili serve it Is better to use it for our own edification than to taste Its bitterness.
It has often been said that we a^' the heirs of all the ages preceding, but if we do not profit by our inheritance, then we shall have to pay for our folly. If, on the other band, we use It both to avoid the mistakes of othsrs and to turn to our own advantage every op¬ portunity that arises, we shall be pre¬ pared for whatever may happen. Our greatest fault Is unpreparedness.
Ttie new year is upon us, the time when it is customary to start oft vig¬ orously witb a new set of good resolu¬ tions.
May we suggest that all of us resolve to prepare?
One thing we can prepare for Is to do our work better and for the job ahead of us. A clerk recently aske<l for "more pay for the same work." ou account of the high cost of living. Tlte tnswer came back, "If you had done better work. It wouldn't b« necessary to ask for a rslse." The clerk wax unpr«i>ared for better work, hecHme dlssatlsfled, and left.
Tttls Is something entirely within our own control, war or no war, high cost of Uvlns or low; we ran dig right down
to the roots of nur jobs and grow big¬ ger than tbey are.
Then with our money we cnn re- .solve to .save more. It has been pre¬ dicted that lin live yenrs when the War Savings S^iiips are rotleemed, Ihey will buy twice as much a.s what their cost wiil buy to-day. If you cnn't be¬ gin buying War .Savings Stamps, start with Thrift Stamps at 25 cents euch. If you smoke, Indulge in a "smokeless day" and Invest the money that "tuy. Resolve not only to weather the finan¬ cial strain, but to be prepared to take advantage of the financial opportuni¬ ties which others turn into gain.
Nothing is more important than to prepare for the solution of the social and economic problems which are growing out of the war and those which will follow it Resolve to study these questions. Experience is doing what theorizing could never do.
Perhaps the world Is g:olng through the throes through which our country went in the days when our forefathers founded It. to prove once more that the principles of democracy which have made America great are better than the principles of autocracy which have helped to convulse Europe; that in¬ stead of America being better for ths adoption of European methods, Europe would be better (and doubtless will be) for the adoption of American methods. —The Telephone Ueview, N.

Not long ago we came in touch with a man wbo was receiving a very small sii^ry, and who was anxious to tuke advantage of an extruordinnriiy good business offer, although he felt that it would entnil much hard.ship If be did so, as he was forced to live right up to the last cent of his salary. His wife was very much opposed to his putting himself under nny further ubllgations for she had never been able to save anything from their in- foine. However, he was Induced to pledge some of his salary in advance, and to their great astonishment, they found that when they were forced to plan ahead in order to live, they were better off than before, because they lived as well, and saved at tbe same time. Nothing but actual experience could have proved to them that, no matter how small one's salary may be. It la Improvident to spend It all.
We all know that tt Is the easiest thing In the world to spend money if it Is In one's pocket. A passing fancV, and "Pflf"—It is gone. Hns It ever happened to youT Then, why put It lu your pocketT Fancies are all right. If we have no speblal reason for saving, but If we have, and we all have, let us guard against them and ourselves by putting that money where we can¬ not reach It, and where it can work for us, 00 Sundays as well as Mondays.
Put your hat on. run around the comer to the post-ofJIce, or bank, and buy some War Saving Stamps and Thrift Stamps! In five years from now, when Uncle Sam Is iwying you 15 for your |4.12, you can buy all the .Ullles vouwant. The wsr will lie ,\ er tbeu.-^he Telephone Itovlew
