W, Lituy. Ageut, The First Budget. Ceneral Dawes, the Director of the Budget, has had but a brief time in which to prepare the bud get for the fiscal year 1922-23. He bas been under the additional dis advantage of being oblidged to do something for the first time. No great administration change was ever made without disclosing de fects and blunders in the drafting of the law, or without encounter ing obstacles and opposition in its early days. Such difficulties will will appear when Congress begins to deal with the new system, though no one can tell what form they will take. When they dc arise it is well to remember that the novelty of the system is a seri ous bandicap. We should not lay upon tne administrator any blame that properly should rest on the law. If the budget should run the gauntlet of Congress, which it must do if the system is to succeed, the appropriations for the year 1922-23 will be considerably greater than the revenue. It is estimated that the revenue will be $3,338,182.750 —about $600,000,000 less than the revenue for the current year, 1921- 22, The expenditure is put at $3.505.754.727, which is $462,000,- 000 less than the estimated expend iture for this year. The apparent excess of expenditure is $167,571,- 977, against about $24,500,000 this year, but the larger deficit ex pected next year does not indicate that there has been an extravagant increase in our spending. The taxes have yielded less. But neither can we accept with out any qualification the expected reduction of $462,000,000 from the expenditure of this year. The estimated cost in the current year of railray administration and the transportation act is $337,679,235, and there is no corresponding figure in the budget for the coming year because it is impossible to make a trustworthy estimate of what the figure will be. It will, however. be only a small part of the sum for this year. Turning to details, it is gratify ing to see that almost every one of the great spending departments is ailotted less money for the coming year than was appropriated for the Present year. There are cuts of $20,000,000 for the War Depart ment, $47,000,000 for the Navy Department, and $26,000,000 for postal deficit. The Shipping Board gets $23,000,000 less, and the entire sum of $35,000,000 spent this year for increased pay to gov ¢inment employees is omitted. On the other hand there will be an lncrease of $20,000,000, already Ppropriated for good roads.—The Youth'’s Companion. —————————————— ! bave heard Miss Eima B.

Lo An Open Letter to the readers of “Daddy’s Evening Fairy Tales” from Mary Graham Bonner Also muthor of “Daddy’s Bedtime Antmal Hhoriew” “Daddy’s Bedtime Fairy Sto fewtt “Daddy’s” Bedtime Bird Storles. “Daddy’s Bedtime Outdoor Stories,” Dear Girls anag Boys und Grown-Ups und In-Betweens: When the holiday season comes nlong authors become a little bolder, You know, and creep out from their caves or uway from thelr pencils and pens and typewriters and try to catch glimpses of some of their renders. It's not possible for them to see them all, But 1 have seen many of my readers With my eyes shut, and at this time [ love to shut my eyes und think of those readers, 1 can see them in small rooms and hig roows, rooms where there are good old warm lamps by which to read and rooms where elec tric lights shine down on the pages, or zas light. And I see them reading of that best of all friends—Santa Claus—and of his dog, Boy of the North. and of Santa’s magic telescope, through which he can see the smiles of his many friends when they open their fifts on Christmas morning. I see them reading of old Mr. Glant and Witty Witch and the Falry Wondrous Seerets and the Dreamland King, of Gypsy Haze and Midgle Moon and the good Old Man himself and Mr. Sun. And as I can see them reading in all these rooms all over the country I wish I knew them all. For I'd like to tell them that they are really the creatore of these stories! It is because they like them, because they encournge and enthuse and because I please them that I want to go on and on making them better and better all the time, When one Is not welcome in a house It makes one feel 111 at ease and em barrassed; but when one Is cordially grected one feels so huppy und is at one’s best. So it is I give you of my best, my very best, because you have given me of your cordiality, which I feel even when I cun ueither see It nor hear it So at this time when a New Year is beginning, I could not resist \\-rlllng‘ to all of you—every oue of you! \ To the boys and girls I have a few‘ little secrets to tell. Your same friends will be coming to you in the year to come. Porky Pig and Brother Bacon are far too greedy, as you and I know, to keep from shoving their little snouts right straight ilnto a story every so often! And there will be new friends, too—llots of new ones, but the old ones will not be lost. They’ll all be on hand, grunting, cackling, crowing, quacking, squealing, shrieking, chattering, whis pering, smiling and dancing and hop ing that you'll like them ull as they like you! And Margaret M. Fifer will be mak ing them look their hest in her won derful pictures. Porky Plg grunted to me In confldence not long ago (but he told me I might tell this to his real friends) that no pictures had ever done him justice until Margaret M. Fifer came along—and that that was true of all his family. And the Faliries— well, the Fairles say she's just like a Fairyland artist—almost too good to be true! ' But my letter must come to an end! With loving hollday greetings and the happlest of happy New Years to every friend of “Daddy’s Evening Falry Tales,” girls and boys and grown-ups and In-betweens, I remaln your very sincere story-companion, MARY GRAHAM BONNER. —e Bear island's History. Midway between Norway and Spitz bergen, Bear Island thrusts its head, known as Mount Misery, above the cold waters. The whole island, save for moss and lichens, is almost des ttute of vegetation. Long ago it was jolned with the Spitzbergen archipela go; the continental shelf upon which the island sits shows a drowned valley deepening to 200 fathoms; this marks the course of an anclent river system that must have drained an area larger than the preseat basin of the Volga.—Sclentific American.
