two little girls and littlt boy who
live in neighborhood where there
are other children, and where the
little ones gather and play as children
in all communities do, and have lots
of fun together. That is to say, all
but the three young children we men
toned above. These little ones seem
to be practically outcasts from tn.
games and stand on the edge of the
crowd looking SO lonely and with a
pitiful yearning at the others. To
quote from the newspaper:

them because they use such bad Ian

Mr.. MacNidcr's expectation is beau
tiful. To him the "Chief Executive"
is like the head of the Fire Depart

mon Council has put forward it's pro-
gram. 1t is for the "Chief Executive
to carry it out.
Fortunately, legislation and admin

run exactly in that way. The Senate
has passed the House Bonus bin,

"dcclamation" $350,O00,00O or what
not added. The Conscript Fathers
have made row between the House
and the Senate inevitable; but what

made between the two, the bill is
dead. President Harding couldn't show
his face in public if he consented to-
backwatcr. His position is perfectly
