Just now the chief outpouring of these ungents is on behalf few folks who have 16 children in the family, or who have lived together for 60 without either calling in a lawyer, or breaking up the furniture. tt Harding writes a personal letter to the mother of 16 children, whose hus- gets $20 a week.

And fry year a haraer year than the one before. the kings and presidents understand that the job of rearing families is the @ne; but somehow kings and presidents are unable to make it possible for the worker to care for his children. year taxes mount up; every year the cost of living overlaps a bit more over | average income; every year the exactions and reckless foolishness of officials with Money increase. And about all king or president dares do about it is to write a t note to the occasional brave couple that has dared all, endured all, and managed ; much battered, disconsolate, hanging to each other in terror of the next conflict, but somehow enduring it all and sticking it out. biggest thing in the nation’s life is the home, but nowhere in officialdom is anything more helpful than a stuffed club for the home makers.
