The Return Is Important

PRACTICALLY every leader OF
business who attempts to ana
lyze the future economic pros
poets of the nation stresses the
fact that the Government is TAX
ing a large sum from every fami-
ly and advances the theory that if
the Government reduces its ex-
penses, the amount will be saved.
While there is need for economy
in Federal expenditures, and in
the fiscal policies of some of the
States, it would be a mistake to
assume that all the money that a
taxpayer sends to the Govern
ment is given away without re-
turn.
DR.. Ralph Robey, chief econo-
mist of the National Association
of Manufacturers, estimates that
the Government takes about $27 a
week per family, as compared with
So per family in 1929 and Sill per
family in 1889. Obviously, a large
part of the increase can be at
tributed to the expenses of World
War II and the expenditures that
are being made, even today, in
connection with that struggle.
The question for the people Of
the nation to determine, in connec-
ton with what the Government
gets, is whether the Government
gives an adequate return. This
should be decided on the basis Of
expenditures not connected with
the war. Certainly, everybody will
agree that useless governmental
spending should be abolished, but
it is somewhat difficult to secure
unanimity in regard to particular
expenditures.

dress as trimming, adding glitter
here and there, on hands. toes. face
and body.
To make a stocking doll, select a
mans sock or some Of the short
socks your son or daughter have used.
Clip off the toe part. and use the
material to make fat little arms for
the doll. The rest Of the foot should
be cut in two and stitched to make
the legs. Stuff with cntton batting,
shape the head with stitching and
embroider eyes, nose and mouth.
II you want to dye the sock in a
brilliant color, do tbs before making
the doll. Scarlet is a good color to
use for doll of this type Simmer.

III JULIET years IHeTe nave DeeH
more festive Christmases.
The little ceremony which be-
came a custom during the
Roosevelt regime when the Pres
ident was driven out into the
crowd about the municipal tree
where he touched the button that
illumined II has been discontin-
ued. That event which drew
many lonely inhabitant to the
crowded square served to bring
a holiday touch to Christmas Eve
and the knowledge that the Pres
ident later on would be sur
rounded by children and grand
children while he read the
christmas Carol" was a rather
cheering thought.
There is on record the time when
two White House children, Charley
and Robert, one Of them now a pres
idential aspirant himself, cut a
mammoth Christmas pie given to
their father, William Howard Taft,
by the international Bakers associ-
alton. II was 80 inches in diameter
and weighed 90 pounds.
There was a grand celebration,
too, when Theodore Roosevelt, ct
familia, spent his first Christmas in
the White House. The White House
police were not the least of the cele.
brants-the new president distribut.
ed no less than 81 fat turkeys among
them. the messengers, ushers, gar
deners and stablemen. This was
credited as being the largest lar
gesse ever distributed by a presi-
dent. President Mckinley always
gave turkeys to the married en-
ployees, but not as many or as big
ones; the Franklin Roosevelts al
ways had some souvenirs for the
White House staff What President
Truman's gift will be this year has
not been announced at this writing.
Back in 1892 when Benjamin Har-
rison spent his last Christmas In the
White House there was no prejudice
against things German and the high
point Of the celebration around the
tree in the library was the recita-
ton of German poems, taught them
by their governess, by the Harrison
grandchildren. Ben and Mary.
That was. real children's
hour and we have a careful ac-
count in the Washington Star Of
that date to authenticate II. mo
nylons or mink coats were mem
tiOned.) There Is a complete
set" says the Star, "of real
baby furniture, the bed quite big
enough for little Mary Lodge
Mckee; a dressing case, with a
glass just high enough for her TO
peep into and arrange her front
hair, and the cutest little wash
stand, with all the toilet appIi-
ances, all from Mrs. Harrison,
to her tiny granddaughter. A set
Of lambs wool muff and tippet
for little Mary was lying near,

with every modern appliance,
and which will chase around In
the hveliest style for little Ben
Jamin. He has hook and lad
