UNCLE TED'S
BEDTIME STORIES
UNCLE TED REVIEWS THE FIRST
HARDING YEAR

Ssh yourself. Don't make so much
noise or else Uncle Ted won't come
in at all" said Jack as Ruth was call
ing at the top of her voice. Both kid
dies were in bed where they had been
left by mother with the lights out and
apparently headed straight for the
Land of Nod. But the sound of Uncle
Ted's footsteps in the hallway had
been too much for Ruth so she started
calling him at the top of her lungs.
Your mother told me you were
sound asleep. What's all the noise
about?" asked Uncle Ted as he op-
ened the door.
"Please don't CO." said Ruth. 'T'm
not a bit sleepy and 1 KNOW mother
won't care if you just tell us a little
story"
Il know I'm risking my life to do
it, but I'll sit here by the bed and
talk to you until old Mister Sand
man comes along, if you promise to
be real good. I have been thinking
lately about the hundred and one ac-
complishments Of the Harding admin

stop and look back. Let us go back
to March 4, 1921, only a little over a
year ago. No President faced a hard
er problem than did Warren G.. Har-
ding on that day. Our country was
torn from one end to the other by the
of war and wisconsin. ALI
normal ways and means were upside
down and he faced the problem of get
ting back to peace Ways-a no small
job, I can tell you.- Right from the
Capitol, after taking his oath of Of
fee, he drove to the White House with
Mrs. Harding, and the first thing he
cd was to throw wide the gates to
the Mh;+e House grounds, gates that
had been closed so long. That act,
small in a way, was significant of ev-
erything that was to come. 1t meant
that the new tenants of the White
House were anxious to be in close
touch with the hundreds of thousands
who had voted to place Mr.. Harding
