He made no appeal to the voters' of the nation, or oi any state, including Missouri. His action recalled an incident in the administration of President Wilson in 1918, just before close of World ' War I. Before and during that conflict the cannot hide. A soldier-dol- l, a doll house, too, and strings Democratic party controlled congress, as the same party has for the past several years. Just before the 1918 elections President Wilson appealed to voters of the nation to return a Democratic 'congress that his administration might not be hampered in the work of reconversion. Despite that appeal, the election resulted in a Republican landslide, and for the last two years oi his administration the President was faced with a Republican congress. That appeal on the part of President Wilson was made at the request of several members of his cabinet. It was a mem-- v her of the cabinet who had not joined in that request who told me the sequel, off the record at that time. At the first cabinet meeting following the election the President entered the cabinet room without his usual cheery salutation to those gathered around the cabinet table. He walked to a window overlooking the White House grounds and, speaking to no one, he said, in a quiet voice: I accepted the advice of friends, and doing so led me into political error. He then turned, took his place at the head of the table, and the meeting proceeded without comment of any kind on his statement or the result of the election. His statement was accepted as a rebuke to those advisers who had induced him to make that appeal, which did not prove effective. out-of-sto- ck last-minu- see a sight that makes me start and causes thumpings in my heart!

New toys have been tested by children for fun appeal, age interest and safety. More than 100,000 different kinds of playthings with a retail value of 250 million dollars, a 35 per cent increase over 1945, are ready for Christmas distribution. The first lilies of rubber and steel playthings in four years will bring back such deeply missed favorites as rubber balls, balloons and animals, wheel toys, electric trains, movable eyes and voices for dolls, steel construction sets, musical instruments, noisemakers and pop guns.

The customs only connection with Christmas is through Saint Nicholas. Saint Nicholas, or Santa Claus, the saint who liked to do good by stealth, heard that three lovely sisters, who lived in a poor cottage on the outskirts of town, were destitute.
