CASH
100000 DEBTS
FOR XMAS GIFTS
Especial from United PressD

Washington. Dec. 23-What Di
Wiley would probably describe al the
gift bearing germ. inocculated inoo
the people of the United States, will
cost this year about 100000 900 in cash.
perhaps $5.00O,000 in debts.a large
amount of happiness and also a large
amount of economy
This is a purely unofficial estimate,
"doped up by Victor Fl. Olmstead,
chief of the Bureau of Statistics of the
Department of Agriculture. In Ohm
stead's opinion not more than one-half
of The peopleof the United States this
year will make Christmas presents that
cost actual money. OF the remaining
46, 000, 900 few will not give presents
because they do not believe in the
custom. More will not give because
of their religious beliefs. Still more
will not make presents because they
live in out-of-the-way places, remote
from stores A vast number will not
give because they have barely enough
money to clothe and feed themselves
and their families.
Then there are other Christmas cele-
brants-farmers for the most part,
who will send fat turkey duck or
some other farm animal to relatives.
Of those who will actually buy pres
ents, several million are children whose
expenditures will range anywhere from
10 cents to ST. A few of the chill
rich families-will spend many times
81. The estimated average Christmas
expenditure of the children is so cents.
The greatest number of Christmas Civ
ers are clerks, young men whose salar-
les range from SIS to $3.50 a month.
Olmstead estimates that the clerks will
spend. on an average. SIS for a gift.
The home-loving clerks will average
about 81. Altogether. it is estimated
that about 100000 600 persons have al
ready bought or will buy presents and
that their gifts will average a little
less than 81 a person.

DROUGHT HALTS ELECTR!CS
Steam Locomotives Impressed Into
Service on New Haven Line.

In consequence of the drought which
is now prevailing all through Connec-
ticut, the town authorities at Cos Cob
shut off the water supply to the New
Haven roads electric plant in the
Stamford zone there yesterday and as
a result the managers of the terminal
had to hurry out a number OF steam
locomotives from the shops in New
Haven and impress them into the
passenger service between that city
and Woodlawn, which is as far as
the New Haven division runs.
Superintendent c, n. Woodward OF
the Shore Line division at once put
three trains into the service as water
trains to help keep UP the water sup
ply at the Cos Cob power station
which requires 100000 gallons Of wa
ter a day These trains are taking
water from various points along the
system and turning it into the Cos
Cob plant.
Meantime the extra engines have
been sent down to the Stamford zone
to be used as a reserve power in case
their services are needed. Some OF the
passengers trains coming into tn 8
city yesterday afternoon were measur-
ably delayed because of the lack of
electric power in the Stamford zone.

An Incident That Enraged the Actor
and Amused the Audience.
Some years ago melodrama was
being performed in a country theater,
the chief actor in which had made
himself. from his naughty and over
bearing conduct, disliked by all. In
the last scene he was supposed to
visit the tombs OF his ancestors. In
the center Of the stage upon a marble
pedestal stood the statue Of his father.
A heavy fold Of Grapery covered the
figure. Enter Albert, who thus ad-
dressed the statue:
II am here once again to gaze upon
those features which in life so often
looked on me with tenderest affection.
Father, thy mourning son now comes
to pay. thee alteration. Let me re-
move the veil which from the vulgar
gaze shields the beloved image Of a
once dear parentp
on went the drapery, and, behold,
there was disclosed the statue Of the
father gracefully standing upon its
head.
The effect cannot be described. II
