Mr.. Dickinson eveidently does not believe

Taft administration is the champion pedes-
trian OF the cabinet. The government
furnishes him with a smart carriage and
pair OF thoroughbred horses, and some
OF his subordinates are enabled to take
numerous Joy rides in government owned

Secretary Dickinson enjoys neither an
automobile nor carriage ride. His big

come to realize that it is pretty good
policy to listen to what the insurgents
say. Holding the balance of power as
they do. a speech from an insursent In
these troublesome times is more than likely
to swing enough votes to defeat some pet
project Of the house organization.
II was not long ago that the regulars
were wont to poke fun at such insurgents
as Norris of Nebraska and Murdoch OF
Kansas. That day. apparently, has
passed. Murdoch had some views on the
long and short haul clause of the railroad
bin, and he desired to give the house the
benefit of them. AS soon as vic" got on

doris and the cloak rooms. Pretty soon

Brightside and His Boy

English suffragettes have started a

their wives regular weekly salary"
Brightside begins. as his world weary Off
spring drops into the easiest chair and ap-
plies the torch to-a cigarette
Whats the use-they get it anyway"
queries Son in a sadly pessimistic-tone Of
voice.

Father that homes may be made hap

she cops off the pay envelope unopened is
no sign the flat will ring with JOY"
Complaints are made by some wives
that whenever they want money they have
to ask for it," Father explains.
THE poor little things!' exclaims Son.
Nobody ever heard OF a dame getting a
sore throat from asking hubby to come
across with the simoleons. II they can pry
loose the coin by simply peeping for it,
my tip to them is to leave a good thing
alone. AS long as they don't have to take
sandbag to us rude men TO coax forth

They contend that woman cannot main
tain her self-respect when compelled to
run TO her husband for funds" Father
says.
"A ten dollar note will make an essay
on self-respect look like Coney island

Son declares. When she runs to the
home plate does she get the money? That's

"Pay Days for Busy Housewives"
Their Latest Tabloid Sketch.

Another claim the women make in their
campaign for wages for housewives
Father proceeds, us that they can be more
economical when they know exactly how
much they can count on each week. They
like to know they have a certain sum to

They'd spend it all right and then be

lively no advances on salary before pay
day Every Harlem flat would soon look

The women seem to think they would
be much more contented If placed on a
salary basis" asserts Father.
THE scheme would give the skirts just
another thing to kick about" argues Son.

are usually only a matter OF flavor and

In other words, of the three processes
the first is the short method; 1t aims 10

second is very long method employed
for the purpose of getting all or most OF
the juices out. The third is a combination
