 With prospect of a much reduced majority in the new house, or pos sibly a lineup so close that Demo- cratic control will be in doubt, ad- ministration leaders have laid their plans to work at high speed in hope of enacting the most impor- tant part of their program before il is endangered in the siXty-ffth congress.

II had been an unusually hard day
for little Theo, who was visiting her
great-grandmother, at whose house
lived her grandmother and her Uncle
Wallie also. This uncle, who INDUCED
her with a fine disregard Of conse-
quences, was a great favorite of little
Theo. On this particular day she had
been naughty, calling forth many re-
proofs from her two grandmothers.
At last, weary and discouraged, she
sat down Indignantly in her little
rocker. and, eying her grandmothers
with evident disgust. remarked with
a loud sigh: Il wish God had not
made me so many grandmas. but had
made me more Uncle wallies."

"What Can America Dor"

Cedar Rapids Republican: The Red
Cross does not mean much to a Bull
garian DR.. Edward Stuart, of Boston,
has made detailed statement of how
20 carloads of wheat intended as
Americas contribution to the starving
women and children OF Serbia were
seized by the Bulgarian soldiers, under
command of an officer. They first pre-
tended to desire to buy the wheat
giving pieces of paper in return. When
they were told that 1t was not for sale,
that it was Americas contribution to
charity, they forcibly seized the wheat
first hauling down the stars and
stripes. One of the Bulgarian officers
went so far as to strike DR.. Forbes
with the fat sword-wonder why he
did not use the sharp point Of It? But
the Bulgarians probably see no reason
why they should be afraid Of anything
that America can do to them, insult
the flag or not. And what can Amer
lea do to redress such wrongs and
avenge such insults? We cannot go
over there and lick the Bulgarians and
diplomacy might as well be carried on
with a band OF outlaws. In short,
everything is upside down in this
world and we begin to doubt whether
even Colonel Roosevelt can set it right
again.
