 Irish Drive Goes over. =.
 At the meeting held in St. Pauis g Y. M. T. A. X B. society hall last eve hing it was announced by Rev. J. c. Brennan that the drive for the Irish Relief fund in Berlin was a success and the town went over the top ex- ceeding its quota of si.000 by 3l551o. The committee in charge of the drive realized that the town had been hard hit fin regard to drives inasmuch as Berlin did a great deal for the New Britain General hospital drive, the Hoover fund and others. 1t was not known at first whether or not the drive would bo success, but when the solicitors made their last returns at the meeting thos- in charge were gratified to learn that the people re- sponded SO Loyalty.
 The final returns from the three districts is as follows: Berlin sI9s.65; Kensington $720.05, and East Berlin s20s.4O. making a grand total of sl.155.1o.

 "In our work over the state, from Tennessee to the Gulf of Mexico" he we find that there is d demand on the part of courts and other interested persons for us to help in solving problems of childhood that may not always involve our taking care of the child. Just lots of times we are able to do something that will help to rehabilitate Chats an awful big word. but maybe you know what 1t means) the home so that the child can be brought up in his own home. And sometimes we are able to locate relatives who are willing and abla to take care of the little fellow. We are called on many many times, for advice as to how certain cases should be handled and what ought to be done. Of course. we are always glad to put whatever of experience we may have at the disposal of the friends of childhood anywhere and at any time"
 But isn't 1t lots of worry to find tho money to do all these things? How In the world can you always be sure that your work will be sup

"Of course, we make the money go just as far as We possibly can, that Is. We try to get the most real value out of every dollar that is put into our hands to spend Just now we are having our first, real statewide appeal for funds. Friends of the society, members and directors in nearly every county in the state arc busy right now raising the $30,000 that We shall need during the next year. We don't know just how suc- cessful the effort has been. but so far as we can tell. the society will be able to go right on with its work, although the demands are much greater now than ever before. Mir. Crawford Johnson, president of the society. is acting as chairman of the Jefferson county committee and has been successful In securing con- tributions for a good many hundred dollars already. Then the women's s clubs and the churches and Sunday schools are many of them helping us.

 "of course, sometimes we have to try, try again." said MT. Barrow "We can't always lie sure, just at first. how things are going to work out. But you'd be surprised to know now often such placements, as we call this work, become permanent and the child grows into the home and becomes really and truly a part of the home, Lots of times, we find that before the child is placed. it is necessary to remedy some physical defects. The child may need to be built up by proper feeding.

 Ex-Soldfers Ignored
 And now. the republicans in their preparation and support of the tax bill stand before the country as rep resentatives of the people who re- moved excess profit taxation from the backs of the rich, and voted down every democratic suggestion carry iag real relief to the individual of small means.
 And for the second time within the short space of two months. they are presented as representatives who sent the soldiers abroad to suffer hardships and possible death, and who. after profiting from the result of his victory, permit him. as certain democratic senators declared in de- bate, to walk the streets in mid winter without H sole to his feet"
 According to democratic strate- gists, the republicans. in their prep aration and support of the tax bill have weaaed the people of the coun- try from their support. But the dem- ocra.s do not pretend to believe that the republican party. supported by millionaires and those soor to be millionaires. is dead party. The in fluence of money is infinite, they ad- nit
 Reed Plays Mellon
 But there have been field days for democratic orators Senator Reed, in supporting his amendment, indulged his passion for vocal abuse. He was especially bitter against the secre- tary of the treasury, Mir. Mellon, and forgetting the existence of John b, referred to that official as the rich est man in the United States. Sena- tor Watson of Georgia, in aiding and abetting Senator Reed. went to great lengths in attempting to make the Senate believe that the American pri- vate in France was abused. hanged by the score, and suffered more phy- sieal agony than the poor old Con- federate whose bloody feet stained the snows of Virginia. And Senator Heflin eloquently spoke of the valor of the American in France, of the profiteering of unpatriotic Americans at home. of the misery of the poor soldier who is now struggling to ex- fst in an era of unemployment.
 In face of this oratory, the repub- licans pretended to be indifferent. But there was evidence that their hearts sunk on several occasions. But they had to fulfin their promises And they took their medicine, 1t ap- peared. as bravely as any other crew slated for rnartyrdonn

 From danger may be wholly free.
 Mrs. Quack.
 While Peter Rabbit had been talk ing to Paddy the Beaver. Paddy had kept right on working. When he had finished cutting the branches from the aspen tree which he had cut down he started in to cut the trunk of that tree into short logs. These were for his foodpile. Paddy Is thrifty. He is one of the thriftiest people of whom I know. He is just as thrifty with his supply of food AS he is with his time. and you know that of the latter he never wastes a minute when there is work to be done.
 So, having cut down that aspen tree, he didn't intend to waste a bit of 1t, even though to save all of it meant a lot of hard work. He in- tended to have all of the bark of the trunk, az well as of the branches. Of course, he couldn't get that trunk as 1t was to his canal and down that to his pond; 1t was too long and too big for him to handle. There was noth- Ing to do but to cut 1t into logs which he could handle. IL meant work. hard work and lot of 1t. but Paddy didn't stop to think about this.
 'The sweetest food is ttat which has been honestly earned says Pad dy. and he really means 1t.
 Jolly round, red Mir. Sun had dropped from s.ght behind the Purple Hills and the Black Shadows had come creeping through the Green Forest and across the pond of Paddy the Beaver while Peter Rabbit had sat there talking and watching Pad dy at work. It was tho hour which Peter and Paddy and many other iit- tie people dearly love. the hour just between light and darkness, the twi- light hour.
 Suddenly there was sharp whis- ting sound above the heads of Peter and Paddy. They looked up hastily to see eight black. swiftly moving forms against the faintly yellow sky as they swung out from over the treetops and slanted down toward the water of Paddys pond. Three times they clrcled 1t and then there were eight faint splashes out in the middle of the pond
 Peter hopped up and down joy ously. Tt is the Quack family! IL
 
 children on their way from their summer home in the Far North to their winter home in the Sunny south,' he cried happily.
 Paddy stopped working, slipped into the wa&er and swan out to- ward those eight forms sitting mo- tionless. silent and watchful out in the middle of the pond As soon as they saw Paddy they recognized him. At least Mir. and Mrs. Quack did. In. stantly they began to swim about and Mrs. Quack talked in low tone to the six children. now quite as big as their father and mother.
 Tt is all right now, my dears." said she. That Is Paddy the Beaver swimming toward us and. we have nothing to fear. If there were any hunters with tarrible guns about he vopld know t and he/wouldn,t be q. tanning out to greet us. Dear

DEMOCRATS TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE
 t. O. p. BLUNDERS
When Tax Fight Is Over Dem- ocrats Will Have Prepared Proof of Surrender to
 Big" Business
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Eureau. The Axe-Heraid
 SRO Dasidenn Huildl

500 Davidson Building
 Washington, November 2.-tSpe- ciaL)-The republican majority in the Senate will eventually put over' the pending tax bill. But the republican majority will be exceedingly Eroggy even if,ft escapes a complete knock out.
 The democrats have made capital of the terrible dilemma in which the republican majority found itself. For the republican majority's course Is not attributable to indifference to the wiles of politics. The republican ma jorify was forced to prepare bill which pig" business demanded prior 10 it's support of the republican ticket last fall. The republican majority simply had to commit blunders. Of these enforced blunders, the demo- crats took advantage.
 And when the tax fight is over, the democrats will have prepared proof of republican surrender to Dig, business. They will feel that they have alfenated the people. But whether the republicans will be able to mend their fences before Warren c. Harding again faces the electorate remains to be seen.
 Play Politics
 The democrats might not have proved themselves statesmen. But they have demonstrated their ability to take advantage of openings" left by their opponents. They have played politics.
 For instance, the advocacy of an inclusion of d bonus bill in tax bill might not have been the act of statesmen. But there are few politi- cians who would Hot have taken ad vantage of an opportunity to make a "grandstand' play to the soldiers, and at the same time put the repub- licans in a hole"
 some of the democrats might have had an eye single to their own fate before the people. Some of thom might have been animated by belief that the soldiers of the country are in actual need of a pittanee in the way O. money-or that that pittanee would remove their poverty and make them permanently rich. Others might have had sincere conviction that the President was in error when he declared some weeks ago that the treasury could not withstand the pay ment Of bonuses to 4,000, 900 soldiers. Others might have proceeded solely because of the chance of embarrass- ire the republicans was present.
 f5us at any rate they advocated the bonus. and forced the republicans
