In Itself, of course, her letter
was but llttlo different from
many others received recently by
The News.
There was the awkward scrawl,
the mis-spelled words, tho ex
prewed hope that Sunta Claus
would not forget.
Yet her note, very brief waa
unique. It was signed "Anee,"
and it said:
"Won't you please see that
Santa Clause don't forget Bob

Uon't you think he should have
something?"
Anne, who has attained the
age of eight, had finished her
letter. She had asked nothing
not one thing for herself. She
had requested only that her
boby brother be remembered.
The News believes he will be.
Next Saturday It Is staging Its
four-bit day, when Its readers
will be asked to part with 50
cents to be used in a fund for
unfortunate children.
Yesterday a local merchant,
ho requested his name be with

Wheeler, Antis' Mouthpiece
Says Drinker's Data
Is All Wrong
WASHINGTON. Dec. 16. The
wet and dry fight waged merrily
In and out of the senate Wednes
day.
Wayne B. Wheeler, the anti-
saloon league mouthpiece, who had
characterised attacks by Senators
Bruce of Maryland, and Edge of
New Jersey, on tho Volstead act
as being actuated by tho "emptiness
of their stomachs' was entered by
the senate by Bruce, who declared
Wheeler was actuated by tho "em
tineas of his head."
"The plea by two senators for
the return of the brewers' billions
of dollars worth of trade Is based
on a misrepresentation of the
actual facts concerning tho suc
cess of prohibition," Whoeler said
Inter.
"Every social and business Indi
cator shows that the nation con
sumes a very small percentage of
Its former drink total. If the
claim of tho wots woro true that
America is drinking as much or
more than ever, then It Is curious
that manufacturers find workers
steadier nnd production Increased:
retailers find their trado multi
plied because of Increased earning
power of workers and the legtlmate
expenditure of money once wasted
on drink: that bankers. Insurance
men, builders and all the agon
cles of production and distribution j
echo the same tnr."
