REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION WILL BE
 HELD IN WINDY CITY

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 16. P)-The Republican National Con- vention will be held in Chicago next June. The decision was made by the party's national committee after Detroit had withdrawn it's bid for the honor.
 This left Atlantic City as the only other contestant and it took only one ballot to decide the con- test. The spokesman for Chicago had guaranteed fund of $15O,000 to defray the expenses of the con- vention.
 The meeting of the committee was featured by an appeal by Chairman FesS for a militant cam paign to marshal the full strength of the party behind President Hoo- yer, whose nomination for a second term was taken for granted.
 Senator Fess characterized the Presidents efforts to aid business in the present emergency as "stu- pendous." He declared that if the President had succeeded only in preventing suffering and forestall- ing adoption of the dole system, he would have done enough to dis tinguLsh him in history.
 The Presidents one-year war debt moratorium plan averted an international calamity, the com mittee chairman insisted.

 To-day our leaders must be experts they must be specialists At time the whole of national actv ihes simple enough to be conducted by the of general experience"
 In other words reading between the lines, Crowther IS of the opinion that the class of men who have uided America up to the time Crowther published his stuff would be unfit to have carried today Experts and specialists only wanted. s7-
 That word specialist has familiar ring This we do know however, that any bunch of bohunk friends could hardly have made of economic than the alleged leaders of today at Washington elsewhere
 The real difficulty confronting today is the fact that we have too many experts and specialists.

WHEN WINTER COMES

IS YOUR house packed to the caves with trssnesad' ous stores of flour. meat. clothing .. anu other supplies to carry you through the long winter!
 Not very likely!
 But if not, won't you-like the butterfly that played all summer without thought of the cold days to come-won't you be in danger of facing famine months before spring comes around again?
 Certainly not!
 When wintry winds are blowing their coldest, and the storm is waIing like forgotten banshees on the top the chances you may be eating juicy strawberries from Costa Rica and fresh asparagus from Florida For the day of storing up supplies against the barremess of winter has gone forever. It has passed when America ceased to be lot of scattered communities and became nation united by swift line of transportation.
 As you read the advertisements telling you just what the stores contain for you fresh to your order, remember that here are the inexhautible store rooms of today stOrerooms that have banished forever the anxieties that went with the snows of yesteryear.

Ways of Mailing Coins in Letters
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

A coin card Is Just q strip Of card
board with q hole in 1t OF the right size
to 1T the coin, whatever it may be,
nickel, dime or quarter. The coin Is
held in place by strip OF adhesive pa
per at the back, and flap OF this same
paper partly attached on the other side,
and ready to be wet and pasted down
after the coin has been inserted. The
coin is absolutely secure, and, in its
card, is ready to be put into letter.
There are other ways Of making these
coin cards, but the principle is the
same For instance, some cards have a
post or strip of the cardboard left across
the hole and the adhesive paper Is
pasted to but one side of the card.
How to Make Coin Cards.
It takes but moment or two to make
a coin card at home. Use any kind of
cardboard, part of an old pasteboard
box will do. Lay the coin on 1t, trace
around 1t with a pencil, cut out the
circle. Slip the coin in 1t and paste
strips of paper across the coin filled
hole. This is just as adequate and safe
as the coin cards that are bought ready
made, and they cost nothing.
If paste, mucilage or glue is not
handy moisten a teaspoonful Of flour
with water until smooth and it will be
an excellent adhesive paste. Or the
paper can be brushed with the white Of
egg and be pressed over the card before
egg white dries.
Sometimes two Sits in q strip Of
cardboard are cut with a knife point
and the coin run beneath this post,
thus securing it firmly. While this way
does very well, it Is not so good as the
other ways because the surface of the
card when the coin is in place, is I'M
even.

father having relieved his mind of this
paternal mandate, picked up his paper
and forgot that he had a family. His
motGer began to scrape of the plates,
complaining about the high price of
beefsteak to any one who would listen.
Bob shot upstairs to his beloved book
and all his forlornneSs and unhappi-
ness was forgotten.
Children seek to drown their trou-
bles in books, sometimes in movie, oc-
casionally in the nearer adventure that
we call mischief.
Why?
Because all human minds turn away
instinctively from trouble and seek es-
cape in fiction. Children, especially. do
this, and 1t is more common than most
grownups realize.
We cannot call Bobs existence
trouble" exactly, but the truth was
that he had no real interest either at
home or at school.
His school was a proSaic affair that
merely fatigued and irritated him
His mother never made any allow

Moreover. home was drab affair, in
which he only figured as a convenience,

ness, nothing to interest a boy of IL,
whose mind was cropping for something
