cinated at the prospect.
"And especially, you must be
very, very affectionate toward the
Senator" said Aunt Olympia
thoughtfully, already mapping the
campaign.
But = what will the Senator
Think" calculated Helen, appalled,
at the idea of showing affection to-
ward a senatorial uncle by mar
riage she had never even seen.
Aunt Olympia smiled disarming-
ly. Hell probably think times have
improved no end" she said. "And
you must not call him Senator. New
er call him Senator. It's so stiff,
so formal"
''How about just plain 'Unc'?"
suggested Limpy.
''No. That's not fond enough. 1t
must be something very, very
fond"
What do you call him, Auntie?"
"Oh, I call him Del. But that
won't do. It's too fiippant, in the
first place, and it comes from Della
porte, his middle name, which,
though not as bad as Alencon, is
almost aristocratic, too. Alencon

she cried, in a below of triumph.
"Uncle-Lancy?"

Alencon. Very chubby. Lancy!
That's good. That's fine!"
"But-will he like that?"
HE will-when the votes are
counted" said Aunt Olympia GRIM
ly.
Bedtime near, Aunt Olympia,
painting pleasurably, tiptoed noise
lesSly down the hall. A low muir
muir Of voices from one closed door
assured her that Helen and Adele
were talking things over. But she
passed on and tapped softly at Linz
py's door, opening it Immediately
to a very narrow crack.
''Limpy?" she whispered.
Eyes, come in. Oh, it's you,
Auntie!"
Limpy was sitting erect in the
middle of her bed, her arms clasped
about her appraised knees: slim,
tragic youth, making show of bra
very in scarlet pajamas-a bravery
belied by the tears that chung to
her lashes.
She did not move as Aunt Olympia
tiptoed softly in, fingers to her lips
enjoining silence, and sat down on
the foot of the bed.
But it was Limpy who opened the
conversation.
"Aunt Olympia, isn't it-terrible-
and terrifying-that things change
SO quickly? Oh, so quickly! 1t gives
you such an-unsure-feeling. To
think that just last week our life was
SO settled, so taken care of! We
knew Just what we were going to
do for-oh, any number of yearsl
And nova week later-the whole
world is Just Keeling and rocking"
Aunt Olympia fished in the volu-
minous folds of marabou for a hand
kerchief to mop her ewes. Some

Anybody who has been kinda

much attention to what is goig on

they can now read the New Census

And any bordering to be done,
should start pronto. After Nov. 5th,
it will be a useless kind of occupa-
ton.
The census figures tell the story
plain as the nose on Mr. Durante's
face. OF the 48 states and the Dis
trict of Columbia, the champion

latlon there, has increased SO per

We gained per cent in popula-
ton in the whole u S. A in 10
years. but it now takes SO per cent

Beware of Economic
Psalm Singer

Federal spending necessary for
defense, plus the abnormally Swol-
len expenditures for other govern
ment functions, are mounting to-
wards $4,000. 100000 annually. The
question of who is going to pay this
overwhelming sum, and how, should
be burning in everyone'S mind. II
far exceeds present tax revenues
We cannot proceed on pay-as-you-
go basis. Net incomes of all corporate
enterprises in the country totaled
only $4,000, 900, 900 in 1888, while the
total net income of all income tax
payers was under Sl3,OOO,OOO, OO0
The money will be largely raised
by mourning debt, by continuing to
borrow against the future, which
makes it all the more vital that we
have a clear understanding of ex-
actly how and by whom it will be
r1id off. 1t must be paid back. For
if it is not, every single Individual
in the United States faces total
disaster as sweeping and devaStat-
ing as total war. And don't let
any economic psalm singer tell you
differently,
Figures compiled by the American
Taxpayers Association, from records
covering a fifteen-year period, re-
veal that the profit margin of la
Dor. industry. and business is about
! per cent All of us rely on this slim
margin as a safety factor between
SOlvency and bankruptcy, between
want and security. This 4 per cent
means as much to labor as to man.
agement. Government reports show
that about 81 cents out of every dol
Jar CT manufacturing income goes
10 the employees. If the 4 per cent
profit (Safetv factor) of the manu-,
facturer $ taken away in taxes la
Der will be the real sufferer
The burden of taxation tends tC
edualize itself. In the long run we
all must bear our share BY the same
token we all must bear our share
Of debt, Talk of taking more away
from one group than another group
IS Just SO much political converse,
lion.
