same old Talk Resumed.

There is the same old talk of the
FIVE way plan, the four way plan, the
three way plan. the use of the for
eign debt, the restoration of war
taxes and all the other fly by night
schemes tFat fell by the wayside a
few months ago.
One of two new angles which have
figured i'm the discussions between the
bonus raiders in the Legion and their
Congressional allies is for free tax
bond maturing I'm twenty years and
a paid up insurance policy. A year
ago the bonus raiders were demanding
spot cash regardless of the manner
in which II VAS TO be raised and de-
spite the lack of funds In the Treas
ury TO pay the shot.
The bonus raiders have discovered
that since the last defeat OF their
scheme to burden the country with
more taxes for the benefit of able
bodied men capable of earning their
own living there has been n bremen
dous change i'm Congressional senti-
ment a few short months and an
intervening election has made all the
difference IN the world. The next elec-
tion is two years Off.
Consequently Senators and Repre-
sentatives are not now displaying the
same fearsof political reprisals that
plunged them into panic three or four
months ago. reduced them to'abject
servility and made them easy prey
for the mendacities OF tho bonus raid
ers in the American Legion.

elections clearly established one i'm

Uncle Santa, saying that he has had
his eye on this house for the last
twelvemonth, and that this will be one
of his stopping places because from il
so much OF service for others has been
going out. He says that you are his
gardeners, and that you have planted
so many seeds of kindness that LOT

says; in fact, it is the way in which

This was very pleasant assurance
for the children. Il made them think
Of a happy mistake that one Of them
had made when they were having war
gardens all over the town: A certain
Mr.. Rose had been appointed by the
mayor as inspector of gardens for the
whole place, and one day Betty point
ed him out to a friend with whom she
was walking. "There goes Mr.. Rose,'
she said; 'he's an expecter of gar.
dens |"
When the children had been re-
minded Of Mr.. Rose they also remem-
bered what Betty had done at their
last Christmas party; stalking heavily
and pompously down the room, she
had said: "I'm Mr.. Atlas, who holds
up the world" So one Of them stood
on tiptoe, threw back her head and
threw out her arms and said: "Tm
Uncle Santa Claus, who holds up the
world" "Well done!" cried Uncle
Peter; "that's just IT."
There wasn't any disappointment in
the house the next morning. "Did you
get all that you wantedw asked
Uncle Peter. "Yes," said Mary.
"Were you at all disappointed?'
"No,' said Mary. When Mary said
Goodness her mother said, "You
shouldn't say goodness Mary" "Gra.
cious!' said Mary. But Mary was too
excited to have a care for her ex-
presslons. In describing the situation
afterwards she said: II was in q per.

After all the rest had been made

were too big books that told over
again the story of all that America
had stood for and accomplished. This
made him very glad indeed, and he
asked them to write his name on the
fly leaf and to say that 1t was from
his Young Americans. Then the
Christmas party ended with a verse
