The Holidays at Washington

in which the festivities of Noel are celebrated. The Christ child comes to the little people of the tri- colored flag and they do not have Santa Claus.
 In the Russian househ old, the new ambassador has a young daugh- ter who will have her Christmas in America. Dreams on the night be- fore Christmas are supposed to come true and the young Russian girl is scarce who can not relate her vision on Christmas morning. Church is attended in the early part of the day and fortune telling games are largely indulged in. much like our Halloween customs.
 Germany is really the Christmas land for children, and Christmas trees and jolly Kris Kringle and all sorts of gayeties abound from early morning till late in the evening, and there is no place in Washington more popular than the mansion pre- sided over by Baron and Baroness Von Sternberg.
 In Norway the birth of Christ is enacted with images representing Mary and the babe and tea is al- ways served exactly on the stroke of seven on Christmas eve
 In Japan, not Christmas, but New Years is the great festival day, and the month preceding this feast day is spent in most vigorous house cleaning, such as American housewives indulge in during the springtime. Then the immaculate houses are ornamented with bam- boo and pine, the streets are gay with lanterns and flags and all the town focks out to greet one anoth- CT and drink tea. Many remain up all night to welcome the New Year. but some prefer to get up at an early hour to see the rising of the first New Years sun.
 Mexico Holland, Chile and Peru all observe their national customs.

Does the country, from the
standpoint of common interests,
need an elastic currency, or more
money! Until q very short time
ago it appeared that there was
money enough for all the legiti-
mate purposes of trade and CON-
merce; the country was ut the
highest point of prosperity ever
reached in its history. Everything
and everybody was prosperous,
apparently; the per capita circula-
ton was higher than eyer before,
vet almost in an instant we need
more money-an elastic currency.
Let US take look at this PROPOSE
ton of ''elastic" currency. In the
first place it is be based only upon
certain sec1riiies-state, county,
municipal bonds, ect., held by na-
tlonal banks, such hanks to be en-
abled to increase their articulation
