 PLAYS SANTA
 CLAUS TO GIRL

Nina had gone with her Donald to Chicago; Vera to her Granny's house to meet her fiance and Dora, who had gone up to Lowell for Bob's fra tcrnity dance. Joan wondered if any girl had ever had such a lonely Christmas holiday in prospect.
 Gee, there's that little cripple boy down there in that rooming house on the corner that might relish some nice food I've waved at him every morning for the last six weeks. guess we know each other well enough and they do say his mother takes that early bus into town to scrub floors, every day in the week, , she told herself as she was about to drop off to sleep, Christmas eve.

Apples. jelly or canned fruit, and sven big cheery homemade wreaths lone up "Christmasy" make practi

lines Special

Times Special
NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The pres
ent rate of government expenditure
and the prospect of a seriously de
pleted Treasury balance in spite of
the weekly borrowing of S50.0OO.-
600 above bill maturitieS have led
many of the government bond
houses to expect a Treasury note
offering not later than the middle
Of November, TO precede a bond Of
fering in December to provide for
note maturitieS.
For time it had been expected
in some quarters that the Treasury
would be able to Confine itself TO
its weekly sale of bills until the time
arrives to take care of $4,000 900
of note maturities Dec. is.
1t is now generally believed. how
ever, in view Of the expenditure
figures showing an approximate
outlay of S25 100000 daily, that the
Treasury will decide upon a re-
punishment of its balance about
the middle of next month, if not
sooner.
Opinion is that the Treasury will
offer 100000 900 or $500. 100000 of
fiveyear notes in its November fl
nancing probably with a IL per
cent coupon rate. This would mean
the borrowing of about $500,0OO,O0O
of new money for the month, TAX
ing into account continuation of the
$50000,000 a week bill sale.
1t is expected that the December
bond offering. probably for
medium term, will amount to $780,
100000. to provide additional money
beyond the sum needed for the note
redemption.
The government bond market has
recently set up some records for
minimum activity. 1t has been the
product of the unique combination
of market virtually devoid of both
buyers and sellers.
