Money making ideas for Christmas.

money makers. Our annual
Christmas sale is now in course of
preparation. Could you publish
some new ideas for toys in the

Unusually attractive toys may
be made quickly and at little cost
from cheap cotton stockings. This
demure yellowish tan kitten with
bright red or blue ribbon is made
from stocking leg. The secret
of giving toys Of this type char
acter is in making the stuffing
firm and tight. Cotton or small
pieces of clean, soft rags may be
used. Push the stuffing firmly in
place with a blunt stick.
Complete directions for cutting
and making the body are given
here. For the tail, cut piece 6
inches long and 2 inches wide.
Stitch the lengthwise edges to-
gether, tapering toward the end,
then turn right side out, stuff
and sew firmly in place. It is
easy to draw the face. Notice in
the sketch how the eyelids curve,
the shape of the mouth and how
the whiskers slant.

cotton embroidery thread may be
used-black or brown for the eyes

Transportation

When President Roosevelt's rail-
road fact-finding committee refused
carriers request for a is per cent
wage reduction, 1t became apparent
that congress must find some solu-
ton to the nations perplexing trans
portation problem. Not only are
railroads now handicapped by du-
plicating lines and truck competi-
ton, but their expenses are being
boosted $70,000,000 this year by the
railroad retirement act of 1887.
Most suggested remedial legisla-
ton calls for ~ government subsi-
dies under the guise of national de-
tense, and (2) government loans to
help railroads modernize equipment
and extend their lines. Bills along
these lines will probably be intro
duced by Montana's Sen. Burton X.
Wheeler, chairman of the senate's
committee on interstate commerce
and the railroad finance committee.
Mr.. Wheeler's two proposed laws
would:
1. Empower railroads, even If
they are in the process Of reorgani-
cation, to obtain government loans
by creating obligations prior to
those now in existence.
2. Establish standards for finan-
cial reorganization, including provi-
sions to expedite the procedure" in
these cases.
The second bills purpose, Mr..
Wheeler points out, is to permit re-
organization without "strait-jack-
citing" the railroads and depriving

duty payments have been slashed.
The state department expects U.
s. agriculture will derive important
benefits from the United Kingdom
treaty, which grants concessions on
many farm products. All duties on
American wheat are removed, while
on other items the duty is substan-
TALLY reduced. But the new treaty
with Canada fails to remedy many
objections which featured the pre-
vious agreement with that dominion,
since important concessions are still
granted on livestock, cheese, eggs
and many grains.
International
By prosecuting Jews and subsi-
dizing Christianity in favor of Nazi
theology, Germany tells the world
that triumphant political philos-
ophy is worth more to her than the
worlds good will. What Germany
apparently fails to realize is that
the resultant international resent
ment will ruin the Reich's export
trade, thereby creating internal
economic chaos. This pressure is
already felt in Sudetenland and Aus
tria, the recently annexed terri
tories whose manufactured items
must now bear the mark, "Made in
Germany" Both areas find world
anti-Nazi sentiment a serious threat
to their once fourishing export bust
ness.
Meanwhile International plans to
help German Jews are meeting in
evitable opposition. Since most
countries already have unemploy-
ment problems, few are willing to
increase this burden by accepting
new immigrants. They also realize
that Jews are predominantly trades
men and therefore fear their estab-
lished business men would suffer
from this new competition.
In the U. S., President Roosevelt
has granted a six-month extension
to German visitors rather than re-
turn them to the hostile Reich. He
