CHRISTMAS OF PRESENT TIME
Despite Methods Of Travel and the
Ease Of Making Long Journeys,
Home Holiday Best.

&|117 HEN Christmas began its gay
HU pilgrimage down the years
~ society was stationary. To-
day families and individuals
are constantly on the move.
Modern means of transportation have
| abolished distance The family today
scatters to all quarters of the earth.
One brother stays on the Atlantic
coast, the other migrates to the Pa.
cif1c seaboard, but then they are "only
four or five days apart" In England

don.
! When Irving wrote "Bracebridge
Hail." the little journey into the coun-
try was itself an adventure. The ease
of travel nowadays has taken the edge
from all such jaunts. Everybody
travels. And increasing numbers use
the modern transport system to leave
home at Christmas time. 1t may be
heresy, but the custom Of spending
Christmas at IN inn is gaining ground.
Congestion of population in great
cities has narrowed the dimensions of
the metropolitan home, and not many
apartments can comfortably accom-
modate the family reunion and the
preparation and setting of the Christ
mas dinner. So when the trip to the
country fails the city family goes holi-
day-mak1ng in an hotel. If hotels once
were lonely places at Christmas they
are far from lonely now, and many
seek them both for dinner and frolic,
These are tendencies, variations
upon the old theme. The theme, how
ever, remains unchanged. It will not
change. The great majority will still
keep Christmas at home. Where there
are children the proper paraphernalia
and the time-honored observances will
hold the family at home. No substi-
tute fully satisfies. At best the away
Trombone Christmas is only substi-
tute for the genuine article. So long
as children come to enrich the lives
Of men and women Christmas will re-
main essentially home holiday. The
organization Of modern life brings
some compensations to the absent and
the homeless, but the fullness Of
Christmas satisfaction is only to be
! had at the family hearth.

St. Nick for the Table,

st. Nick's head is a walnut, his body
rosy apple, his arms are of raisins,
his legs macarOni and his shoes Brazil
nuts. A hole is bored into each nut
to set in the macaroni legs. His beard
is of absorbent cotton, his lips of seal
ing wax, his eyes of apple seeds, while
his reindeer are long sweet potatoes
with realistic antlers of raisins. A
wonderful Santa who serves as a
"party" when all the other Christmas
goodies are gone! Do you want to
make such St. Nick?-Grit.

CARD GAMES At CHRISTMAS
Thin Pasteboards Afforded Means Of
Entertainment In England During
Yuletide Season.

At UNIVERSAL Christmas Gus
~ tom Of England in olden
p times was playing at cards.
Persons who never touched
a card at any other season
Of the year felt bound to play few
games at Christmas.
A prohibitory statute Of Henry Wis
reign forbade card playing save during
the Christmas holidays. OF course this
prohibition extended only to persons Of
humble rank:
Sir Roger De Coverley took care to
provide both creature comfort and
amusement for his neighbors at Christ
mas by sending "a string Of hogs pud-
dings and pack Of cards" to every
poor family in the parish.
Even the pulpit comes in for it's
share Of anecdotes regarding playing
cards. Fuller gives an example Of a
clergyman preaching from Romans
1873, "As God hath dealt to every
man the measure of faith" The rever-
end gentleman in question adopted as
an illustration Of his discourse the
metaphor Of dealing as applied to
cards, reminding his congregation that
they should follow suit, ever play
above board, improve the gifts dealt
out to them, take care of their
trumps, play promptly when it came
their turn, etc.
Short notes were frequently written
on the backs Of playing cards. In an
old collection Of poetry is found the
following lines:
ITO Lady Who Sent Her Compli-
ments to Clergyman on the Ten of
Hearts.
"Your compliments, dear lady, pray
forbear,
"Old English services are more sin
cere;
"You send ten hearts-the 1.-THE Is only
mine,
"Give me but one and burn the other
nine."-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

A little girl had been taken to
church by her Aunt Helen On re-
turning home her mother began to
cross-examine her as to what she had
heard.
"What hymn did you have, dear7
she asked.
The little girls memory failing her
for the moment, she turned inquir-
ing1y to her aunt who whispered in
her ear: "'Sun of My Soul,' DEAR"
"Well, what was it," her mother
asked, trifle impatiently.
"Sun of Aunt Helens Soul" was the
reply that astonished her parent.

When the newly elected Republican
Congress was convened In special SEES.

legally Al war with the Central Powers
OF Europe and the domestic problems
confronting the country were of great.
er magnitude than any previous ad.
z1fnistration in the history of the
United States had ever been called
upon to solve.
The President and the Congress had
. well-defned program Of rehabilita.
ton and reconstruction. In his address
opening the special session of Con.
gress the President asked the pas
sage OF a resolution declaring a state
OF peace between the United States
and the Central Powers. He urged, in
addition, the enactment Of an emer.
gency tariff. a permanent tariff, the
creation Of a budget system; legisla-
Ion providing relief to agricultural in
terests; federal aid to public high.
ways; q new tax law which would les
sen the burden Of public taxation and
eliminate excess profits taxes, a con.
solidation Of the various government
agencies handling relief for e~x-service
men; a maternity and infancy welfare
law; a law to punish lynching by fed
eral statute; encouragement for and
regulation Of cable and radio service;
and, above all else. rigid economy in
appropriations for the operating ex.
penses OF the Government.
The best and the conclusive answer
as to whether OF not the Republican
Congress has co-operated with the Re
publican President in carrying out the
program is the citation Of the record
OF accomplished acts. The Emergency
Tariff was a law May 27. The reso-

men was a law by August 8.
In order to assist the agricultural

provided a round billion dollars OF new

ON APPROPRIATIONS

The estimates submitted by Presi-
dent Wilson for the conduct of the
Government for the fiscal year 1921
amounted to $3.50, 900, 900, and the ap-
preparations made under these esti-
mates by a Republican Congress
amounted to Sd, 789, OO0. 900, showing an
approximate saving in appropriations
for that year Of $1,400, 0OO, 1000.
The estimates submitted by Presi-
dent Wilson for the fiscal yea 1922
were $500, 900, 900, and the appropria-
tons made under these estimates by
a Republican Congress we're reduced
to $4,065, 600, 900, showing an approx
mate saving of $1,000, 900 900.
The estimates for the fiscal year
1923 submitted by President Harding
amount to 1888, 000. 900, and the ap-
preparations, when completed, will
probably be $4,000, 900, 900. or 1858 .000.-
900 less than the estimates.
The people of the United States
should understand that for many years
to come it will not be possible to run
the Government for less than $780,

q very large sum, but when it is real
lied that we have three fixed charges,
consisting of interest on the public
debt, sinking fund, and maintenance

created by the war and amount to ap-

by the Republican administration to
81. 500. o00. 900.
The annual cost Of the Government
