Giant Santa Made
Big Hit With Kids
of Central Io,pa

The giant Santa Claus of the third
annual Marshalltown Christmas fes,i-
val made big hit with the kids" of
Marsnalltown and central Iowa. That
this is an undisputed fact, ask the
kids"
Only one criticism has been heard,
and that is due to the wonderful
imaginary powers OF the little folks.
Like seeing Niagara Falls for the first
time, this giant Santa Claus was not
as big as anticipated. Giant" to the
Riddles meant as big as the court
house, and just an ordinary giant
not an old ogre-who sat up fourteen
feet high. wasn't as big as we thought
he would be-" But stop and think.
children. what would he have been If
he had stood up.
Much interest among grownups has
been occasioned by the publicity given
this Giant Santa. and many have asked
the newspaper whose idea the giant
Santa was. The newspaper is now at
liberty to say. 4 member of the Mar
shalltown Club conceived the idea Of
the giant Santa from recollecting when
he was a boy what interest was oc-
casioned among both children and their
elders in a giant jumping jack. This
club member as a lad with the help
of his younger brother built on the plan
of an ordinary little jumping jack
giant jumping jack which. when in
full length, was about as tall as a two
story barn. II was fastened up and
worked by ropes by this Huck Finn
and Tom Sawyer hidden behind
fence. When any one was seen coming
down the road past their fathers barn
the maker and his brother would start
Mr.. Jumping Jack going, regardless of
whether or not horses would scare
and shy at the strange performance. 1t
created much sport, and as long as
father stood for it the boys had lots of
fun.
II a giant jumping jack would make
fun. giant Santa Claus certainly
would during the yuletide. and thus the
Giant Santa Claus was born.

Put Mother, Not
Baby, on Bottle

You never heard this argument
before. We all know Mothers milk
is best for baby. But what to give
the mother to enable her to supply
baby with a sufficient amount of
nourishing milk is the problem.
We have found in hundreds of
cases that HEMO is a nourishment
that will increase the milk supply
and at the same time enable mother
to get much needed strength. Then
teo, it is so appetizing and delicious
that it is welcomed at time when

THE BATHING BEACH

Temperature alone considered,
Monday may be set down as the first
day of summer in our delightful
Washington climate. Summer means
swimming. Monday morning the
bathing beach in its first two hours
afforded pleasure for seven hundred
women and girls. When their hour
was over more than one thousand
boys were waiting in line for their
chance at the pools.
1t was great genius that applied
the name bathing beach" to the
three pools in Potomac Park. These
pools are clean and well-cared for,
they keep hundreds Of boys out of
the dangerous river, and they are
the most popular feature of the
entire recreational machinery Of the
city government.
But they are pitifully inadequate
Whether or not the tidal basin cav
be utilized for the construction of q
real bathing beach, some additional
facilities for bathing should be pro-
vided at once.
Why should the women and girls
have but a few hours a week! And
why should thousands Of boys be
forced to wait impatiently during
hose few hours? 1t is to be hoped
that the Commissioners can per-
suade Congress to do something and
give US more pools.

A WISE DECISION

In granting the two army officers
permission to resign their commits
sions to take up work with private
munitions concerns, the Secretary of
War has acted wisely. The country
will applaud his decision.
1t is noteworthy that Mr.. Garrison
did not wait upon the Attorney Gen.
eral to decide the legal question Of
whether or not the President may
refuse to accept the resignation of
an officer of the army or navy. 1t
became evident that the services OF
these men in building up private
munitions factories might be of
greater use to the Government than
any possible work they can now do
in the army.
No matter how much an officer
may know about making munitions,
under present circumstances he can
do little or nothing to actually add
to the American output, or store--as
the case may be.
Outside the army he may use his
talents where they will be effective
and where, if we should need the
munitions, the start will not be toe
long delayed.

MERCHANTMEN MAY CARRY
ARMAMENT FOR DEFENSE

Germany has made much of the
claim that the Lusitania was armed
in that she had emplacements for
guns and that cannon were stored in
her hold. This claim was effectively
and conclusively disproved by the
examination of United States Gov.
ernment officials.
But even if there had been EN-.
placements for guns and the arma'
ment had been found in the hold ot
the Lusitania that would not have
warranted the acts Of Germany un
less she could show that the gum
were to be used for other than de-
fensive purposes.

THE BRITISH LOAN

able figures before the eyes Of the
world.
Subscriptions through the banks
call for the enormous total Of ST.
700 100000. The smallest Of these
subscriptions was $500. OF the
smaller subscriptions made through
the postoffices, down to s1.25, no
tabulation has been made, but il
was announced that more than a
half million. persons had subscribed
in some amount.
This loan is the biggest single Il.
nancial undertaking on record.
The total interest bearing debt OF
the United States Government il
now, in round numbers, $1,000 ,00o,-
900. The subscription to this wal
loan on the first list is nearly three
times as great.
The interest on this loan is AZ
