“Susie will get her doll and Johnny

as to how to fix a new head on a de
capitated doll at the Boy Scout toy
shop at 2016 Farnam street.
“Yes. we're going right along now,"
she said. "Next week will begin to

On the bench not fur away from
where the dolls were being fixed, two
youthful toy makers whistled as they
deftly turned out a set of shining toy
furniture from a series of broken
pieces.
In the corner stood several “kiddie”
cars, rockers, skates and other dis
carded toys, now shining like new and
ready to be shipped to some little
child who must not be disappointed
when he or she looks for an elderly
man with red suit, white beard and
cheery smile to sneak down the
chimney Christmas eve.
The boys were William Davis of
Troop 1, and Otto Vollmer of Troop
59. Both attend Walnut Hill school.
As for the girls, Miss Guy explained
that a different group comes, out
every day to work with tile dolls.
Kaeh year the Boy Scouts open a
shop to receive donations from
Omahans with discarded toys, and to
turn them Into toys like new, to
make happy the heart of some young
ster in poor homes. Listd are pro
cured from the Associated Charities,
and each family receives a box with
the name and age of every child
and a present to match the likes of
that particular age. Last year over
1,500 presents were distributed In
this wey.

Head Back From
East Says Norris
May Run Again
Omaha Banker Believes Ne
braska Senator Will Seek
Third Term If Friends
Insist.
Walter W. Head returned to
Omaha yesterday from the ea$t with
news that Senator George Norris may
agree to make another campaign for
the senate.
"I was glad to find that senator
Norris’ health is greatly improved,”
said Mr. Head. ‘ He appeared to be
haile and hearty. I am hopeful that
this will result in his being a candi
date for renomination in the pri
maries next April and for re-election
next fall. The state of his health
forced him to consider retirement from
public life, and I hope this will not
be a bar to his continued service to
the people of this state and to the
nation at large.
"Senator Norris lias served No
braska in the United States senate
for 12 years. He has achieved a
leadership in Washington which no
new man can attain without several
years of service. It would be a calam
ity if he were to be permitted to
retire at this time. Friends of Sena
tor Norris and ..ebraskans generally,
should make clear to him that they
desire him to become a candidate next
spring. If they do thia, I do not think
he will refuse.”

Farm Leader Defends
Corey Appointment
Washington, Dec. 16.—Underhanded
attacks on the farm loan system have
taken the form of an attempt to pre
vent confirmation by the senate of
M. h. Corey and other members of
the board, according to George C.
Jewett, general manager at the
American Wheat Growers association.
“Our co-operative marketing asso
ciations have secured millions of dol
lars for intermediate credit banks
during the present crop year under
the most satisfactory conditions." ¥*•
Jewett said today.
''Mr. Corey's administration of the
intermediate credits structure, due to
his sympathetic understanding and
appreciation of farm problems, has
been completely satisfactory. We are
thoroughly In accord with the polldec .
and operation of the system under"
the present board, and would look
with grave doubt on any attempt to
disturb the board.”
Mr. Jewett was In Washington at
the last session, during the time the
Intermediate credits bank legislation
was being considered by congress, and
expresses the highest appreciation for
the support given It by Mr. Corey.
