hX HELEN CAINF0IsD

There was sadness in the Jor- dams cottage on Indian Hill. Even the merriment of an appraoching Christmas season could not super sede the fact that Foster Jordan was going blind. Blind!
 That was bad enough. But Eos ter Jordan, swathed in bandages from the operation that failed, knew that Helen could never carry on alone. It had been so expensive, that operation that had only serv- ed to pronounce his doom more surely. All their savings were gone, and what could the most faithful of wives do, with a baby in arms, and a blind husband? The cottage would go, too, and then
 He reused himself from these gloomy forebodings at the sound of her step at the door. And that she should not think him grieving, he began to sing.
 Foster" his wife called, as the door opened, who do you suppose is here? My old chum, Pauline Westland You know, the costume designer in New York? Pauline, this is my husband, that I've written you so much about"
 How do you do, Miss Westland Sorry I can't my eyes, you know"
 "Of course. I'm so glad to meet you, Mr.-may I call you Foster Helen has told me so much about you"
 And oh, Pauline" Helen inter rupted, ''here is our baby Isn't he adorable?" Then in a whisper DO look more cheerful darling If you don't I'll cry and I mustn't do thatp
 "The doctors give you no hope?' "None whatever. But we'll get along somehow" Helen dabbed at her eyes with her handkerchief Foster, dear,' she said aloud, you were singing as we came in Won't you sing for Pauline?"
 "Yes, please do."
 I'm afraid I can't"
 "Yes, you can, dear. I'll play for you" And so he sang.
 At last their guest rose to go. q can't tell you how I've enjoyed your songs" she said I'm so glad stopped off on my way home for the holidays
 You must come again" Helen answered. I've enjoyed seeing you so much"

saw wistful look on the lace of a man I know. It struck so strange a note in the sophisticated music of his life that was puzzled by it. He was a young man-in his later twenties. He had abund- ance to satisfy every need and many rather expensive desires.
 He was carefully attired as usual. His winter coat was of latest de- sign. His spatted shoes were im- maculately shiny. He stood on a loop corner when, seeing him, l paused, made curious by the eX- pression in his eyes and about his mouth. I followed his gaze. It was fastened on two poverty stricken urchins-boy and girl-who were gleefully inspecting shop window aglitter with holiday decorations.
 Tom said I, breaking in on his reverie, you look almost sen timental. Whats the matter?"
 He turned toward me face that had become suddenly embarrassed. Then he laughed.

 "There is a way" I said, but it's old-fashioned and unsophisti- cated, and what you would call sentimental. First, you must really believe in something-the star and the child and the love behind them. Then you must forget your self and think of making some- body else happy = somebody who really needs the happiness you can

The custom of hanging greens in the house during the Yuletide originally had a purpose beyond that of decoration. In olden days each kind of evergreen was believed to confer special blessings on those who pass ed beneath it's boughs. To pass under holly insured good fortune throughout the year, bay meant victory, while laurel was supposed to
 impart a spirit of beauty and . poetry.-Missouri Farmer.

Now, in the night of unbelief, We make this miracle again Of ancient happiness and grief And all the tenderness of men. We listen to the hearts demands, Unmindful of our darkling
 thought And set in other seeking hands The symbol of the things we
 sought. How strange we never understood That giving more and taking less. That doing all we dreamed was
 good
 Would be our greatest happiness. Now, in the dismal night of doubt, We make the star that we de-
 nied; We cannot face the dark without the little light of Christmastide.

mobilized more effectively and on
broader scale than has been attempted
by any nation in time Of peace, TO re-
store itself TO a condition where there
is job at a fair rate of pay for every
one who needs work. That, after all,
is what prosperity means.
Earlier in the year America was
concerned primarily with holding its
own. 1t was enough to stem the threat
ening tide of panic. But now We know
that we have successfully resisted the
worst attacks against our national
economic stability. We are at last go
ing ahead.
Students of the history of the period
through which We are passing will be
in better position than We are today
to appreciate the wise generalship OF
the President. Only now are we be-
ginning to see the world-shaking
character Of the forces against us as
he has seen them all along. Historians
will be brought to true appreciation
of the peculiar tilneliness of every step
he has taken. But even with such
perspective as we can attain today, 1t
may be clearly seen that in the de-
fensive phase Of the fight with depres-
sion the measures President Hoover
recommended were sound and effective
BY this time it should be evident to
every one that he took advantage OF

no matter where it may be taking place.
The columns Of our daily press bear
witness to this. AS nation we are at
last aware that the ties binding those
in one walk Of life to those in every
other are made of something stronger
than mere sentiment When New
Yorker reads that factory has re-
opened in New England or in the Middle
West or even in the Pacific coast he
realizes that it is evidence of a trend
which will eventually affect him as an
individual
1t has become apparent to all Of us
that a restoration of general prosperity
in the United States depends to very
large extent on the resumption Of en-
ployment in our industrial centers.
Every move taken by governmental or
private initiative in the great program
that now is under way has as its ulti-
mate end the putting Of men back to
work 1t is well to bear this in mind in
considering the underlying significance
of measures that have been taken dur
ing recent months to provide for credit
needs through governmental action. to
revive consumption and combat hoard
ing and to defend the Nation against
attacks on the integrity Of its currency.

Beautiful Collection.
These furnishings were bought shortly
after the untimely death of Marie An
toinette, and this fact has given rise
many times to the supposition that the
sale of that unfortunate lady's possess
sions provided the basis Of the Monroe
collection. Whether or not this was the
case it is impossible to say, but the fact
remains that the Monroes brought back
in 1897 one of the most beautiful col
lections of furniture known at that
time on this side of the water.
In the many high offices which James
Monroe later occupied this furniture
was never verv far distant from him.
It went into the Executive Mansion in
Richmond during his four terms as
Governor Of Virginia and also was used
at Ashlawn, his home in Abemare

Abuse of Pensions
Found in Belgium

BRUSSES-Iike the United States.
Belgium has been looking for economies
in its pensions, and, again like the
United States, has found some strange
cases in the pension lists. In this
country beth military pensions and old
age pensions are being examined.
In 1921 Socialist cabinet ordained
that an inquiry into the financial
status of the applicant should be made
when pensions were asked for, but nine
years later the inquiries were abolished
by Democrat ministry. with the al
most immediate consequence Of in
creasing from 100000 to $4,000 the
number of BelgianS over 65 drawing
old-age pensions. 1t IS estimated today
that resumption of the inquiries would
reduce by 40 per cent the total amount
paid for old-age pensions.
Compression and reduction of mill
tary pensions. it is asserted, also would
bring much-needed money into the
treasury. After having bsen kept Sc
cret for II months, the gist Of a report
by Emile Francqui the Belgian finan-
cial authority, has been made public,
showing that 95 per cent of officers
having fought in the World War and
now serving actively In the Belgian
Army are receiving pensions for in

- national policies and economic
interests there is another tre-
i mendous struggle going on in
Europe 1t is struggle Of ideas
between the theories of democracy and
autocracy.
Numerous evidences Of this clash
have been manifest during the last few
days. With the victory Of the allies
in the World War democracy triunphed.
But in the subsequent revolutionary re-
action various newer republics have sue
cumbed to relationships, and two great
powers, Italy and Russia. have estab-
lished and maintained aggresslyely
ti-democratic doctrines.
But democracieS are showing signs OF
a new vigor. They have Weathered the
storm of the depression, it is asserted,
better on the whole than have autocra-
cies. Spain, after having given dictator
ship a good trial, has become demo-
cratic republic
On the other hand, Germany, despite
a republican revolution, seems. under
Chancellor Lieut. Col Franz Won Papen,
now returned, at least temporarily, to
the autocratic camp.
In consequence, roughly speaking, a
line drawn from Finland to Spain
would today fairly accurately mark of
democratic Western Europe from auto
cratic Eastern and Southern Europe,
though on both sides there are two or
three exceptions.

the proper psychological moment to
launch the counter-attack that is now
under way.
The zero hour for this advance may
very we'll prove to have been on August
20, when at the call of the President
members of the Banking and Indus
trial Committees from each Federal Re-
serve District met in the Department
of Commerce. Such meeting would
probably have been premature if it
had been held even a month earlier.
But in August there was sufficient evi-
dence, at last, throughout the United
States that the measures already under
way had begun to produce beneficial re-
suits. That month definitely marked the
revival of business confidence that now
is SO evident. 1t was the time to take
advantage of this marked improvement
in public psychology by positive and
aggressive action on the part Of busi-
ness, with the cooperation OF govern
ment
At the August conference representa-
tive business leaders Of the United

r N the White House there is room
around whose fireplace centerS the
informal social life of the Presi-
i dent and Mrs. Hoover. 1t is the
room which served as the private
parlor of Mrs. James Monroe, the first
mistress of the restored mansion after
it was burned in 1914. With a great
love of the beautiful furnishings of
early days, Mrs. Hoover recently had
the idea of restoring this room as
nearly to its original state as possible
and of gathering in it all the pieces
known to have been in the White
House from the period of its rebuilding,
which was, of course, the Monroe pc
Rod
Following out her idea, she spent
many hours searching White House
records and inventories She knew, OF
course, that most of the furniture OF
the earlier administrations had disap-
peared, swept out by various genera
tions as it became old-fashioned and
before 1t assumed the value Of the an
tiuue. This seemed to her particularly
regrettable in the case of the Monroe
purchases, as they were the last acqui-
sition of a period approximating in style
the period of the beautiful house itself.
The complete changes in furnishings
of the '4Os and SOS, the '70s and '80s
took the interior further and further
away from the spirit Of its origin.
The result Of Mrs. Hoover's research,
however, brought to light charming
Empire table ordered from Paris dur
ing the Monroe administration, two
sofas made in Alexandria and two arm
chairs brought to the mansion at the
same time. A group Of charming small
occasional chairs, gilt wall mirror ana
some mantel ornaments also made their
appearance, and when put into place
made a room which might have been
arranged by Mrs. Monroe herself. But
Mrs. Hoover was not satisfied with her
success at this point, and the story OF
her subsequent achievements can be told
only by going back into the history OF
the White House itself.
When the original White House was
left in flames by the marauding forces
of the British in 1914 all the furnish
ings, as far as known, were destroyed
with the exception of few possessions
which the MadiSons were able to save
In their fight. The new White House
was ready for occupancy in the Au-
tumn of 1917, some months after the
Inauguration Of President James Mon
roe, and shortly before that time the
President, under an appropriation from
Congress, placed an order with q
French firm for furniture which he
deemed suitable for Presidents home.
James Monroe and his family, there
fore, were the first occupants OF the
new Executive Mansion. The Monroes
were exceedingly well fitted for the high
position they were to occupy. Mr. Mon
roe had served as Minister to France,
Spain and England, and he and his
wife were at home at the courts OF
these countries AS Minister to France
under Washington some years before, he
and Mrs. Monroe had found it necessary
to furnish the legation in Paris In .

Farm Machinery Falls
In Disuse in Hungary

BUDAPEST.-Asi is the case In most
countries Of Central Europe, the use Of
agricultural machinery is in repression
in Hungary. For instance, Of 1000
tractors registered at the Department
of Agriculture, only 1,700 are in use
today. The others are w1llfully al
lowed to stand idle.
There are several reasons for this
halt in the march of progress. One is
that agriculturists find no incentive to
increase the size of their crops by the
use of machinery, seeing that they can
not market their products. Another is
the heavy duty on imported motor
fuels. Perhaps the most important rea-
son, however, is that by reverting to
haulage by animal power-horses or
oxen-work can be found for larger
number Of laborers, thus reducing uu-
employment.
