you are repaid by being allowed to look at

-HE art Of book-making for children
seems TO have touched a new high
water mark this year. especially
notable in new editions OF ehildren's
classics, which unite beauty OF illustration,
cover and end-papers with clearness Of type,
wide margins and general readableness. In
a number Of cases, too, necessary editing has
been done with discretion, putting a book

they are doubtless crying happily to their

He remembers that the book, being mes

THE NATIONAL DEFICIT

Conflicting reports cmanatc
from Washington regarding the
means By which the government
will meet the deficit in this years
budget. Estimates OF the treas
ury department are that the rev.
cnucs OF the current fiscal year
will be Approximately $780,
100000 short of the government
expenses.
This total would have seemed
a staggering one decade ago,
when people still talked lin hush
cd tones OF a billion-dollar CON
grcss. Now, however. an incli-
nation seems to exist in some
quarters to treat the deficit pure
" as a bookkeeping item.
Suggestions for caring for this
deficit are three. First, some adj
ministration officials suggested,
with large pre- election conf
dence, that there will be no de-
