THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

What shall one do with the little
books in the home library?
Many of these odd-sized volumes will
be received as Christmas presents.
Some of them will be elaborate leath-
er affairs, containing neat small essay,
Or few verses, or editions of children S
stories.
An unusual sized book may be almost
anything, indeed, but whatever 1t IS, II
requires some thought in its home
placement
Most bookcases are too large for these
tiny books. When they are placed in
average shelves, as more ordinary sized
volumes would be, they miss altogether
that look of permanence which we'll
housed books should have. There is toe
much empty space above them.
II n "
The fit Of book. or row of books, In
the case is something to which the rea'
booklover gives considerable thought.
He does not approach. the matter from
the standpoint of the interior decorators
but solely from that of him who loves
his books enough to want to see them
look their best.
This is not as easy a matter as II
sounds.
Not only must the individual volume
be checked with others, but its size
color of binding, and even tone of bind
ing, weighs in the scale of judgment.
A book in red leather, for instance
will net do so well next to tome ir
jade green.
There is every opportunity in the
home bookshelves for the display oi
such innate artistic capacity as average
human beings have, who make no pre-
tense to be artists, in any particular
sense of the term, but who do happen
to have an "eye" for such things.
These are helped by that wonderful
capacity which books, as things, pos
sess of merging together on the shelves
Thus, If due regard Is taken for size
most Of them will go together in the
best sense.
They will not "clash." or seem out ot
place, but will present that good ap-
pearance of knowledge and genuine in
terest combined in the interest oi
humanity.
Little books, odd-sized books, books
which contain but a few words, fit into
this scheme of things with some diff

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHnANDER JOHNSON.

Another Economic Problem.
Money goes where money is.
That's its persistent urge.
Some one builds up a pretty biz
And then he has to merge.
Such cannot be forevermore
The way in which we dwell.
We talk of millions where of yore
OF hundreds we would tell.
We gather with our fellow men
To wait what may befall,
And wonder what will happen when
One person has it all.

GARNER DENIES
BREACH On TAX

Speaker John N. Garner en-
phatically denied today that he
had broken with President-elect
Roosevelt and other congressional
leaders on a budget balancing
tax program. -
The Speaker was aroused by
reports that he had scuttled the
plan suggested at the New York
conference between Mr.. Roose-
velt and congressional leaders to
sharply incrase income taxes in
the lower and intermediate
brackets.
At the same time, Garner re-
iterated his declaration Of yes
terday that if Congress rebels
against this tax, he has in mind
a tax to take its place.
The income tax program, how
ever, has aroused so much oppo-
sition in the rank and file of
Congress that its fate appears to
be very uncertain.
Garner said he would like to
see the program approved at the
New York conference, including
the income tax increases, passed
by the House.
