Those Church Suppers!

Church sales, dinners, teas and the like are
not only means for promoting social enjoyment
and incidentally of replenishing the treasures
of the organizations which provide them. These
functions serve a real and valuable economic
purpose, is indicated by the lady whom Edna
K Wooley quotes in the Toledo Blade This
lady, weary of the work of providing three meals
a day for her family consisting of herself her
husband and her daughter, finds a new Joy In
living at this time of year, and explains why:
Last night we went to roast beef dinner To-
night we are going to a Methodist progressive
supper. My husband hates those progressive
suppers, because we start with soup at the
church. you know, then go to some house for the
meat course and finish up at other house
for the dessert. He says when he sits down to a
meal he likes to finish the job the spot, In
stead Of getting up every little WHILE putting on
his hat and coat and galloping out into the cold
and cruel world to resume his eats at some other
stand But think it's fun. It's blessed change.
Tomorrow night we go to Presbyterian church
supper That's only Is cents, too, and don't
see how they do 1t for the money. The next one
after that is an Episcopal turkey supper and the
next Is also turkey supper at the Unitarian
church. Then come the Disciple and Congrega-
ton church suppers, and by that time you'll see
my cheeks sticking out with rich living What
would we poor home cooks do II It wasn't for the
church suppers? They give us rest from the
eternal routine of planning and cooking the daily
meals. Nobody that hasn't tried that threemeal-
a-day business knows what grind It gets to be.

a horse to the late Senator Daniel of
Virginia. He exhibited the merits of
the horse, and said, This horse is a

GUGGENHEIM TO RETIRE
Colorado Senator Not a Candi-
date for Re. election.

Washington, Dec. 2-Senator Simon Gug-
genheim. of Colorado, will not be q candi-
date for reelection and will quit the Sen
ate on the expiration Of his term, March 3,
1913 This announcement was made to-day
in letter addressed TO Jesse F. Mcdonald,
chairman Of the Colorado Republican State
Central Committee. The letter said in part:
In justice to myself and TO my fellow
Republicans of Colorado, ] feel that in
making this announcement 7 should state
that ] have come to this decision solely
because l know that my own interests and
those of my family require me to give 10
my business affairs the personal attention
and care they have wholly lacked during
my service i'm the Senate. and that / can
not. defer attention 10 them beyond March
s, 1918.
II is my earnest wish and belief that I
shall be succeeded by a Republican, who
will maintain the principles Of the party
and who will have at heart the interests
OF the state as | have had, and | wish to
assure the Republicans of Colorado that |
shall continue 10 do all ! can for the vel
fare of the Republican party in the state
and nation.
The vacancy caused by the death OF Sen
ator Hughes. Of Colorado, has not yet been
filed, and probably will not be for some
time There has been a prolonged fight
over Il. with the probable result that both
seats will be filed at the same time, at the
expiration Of Senator Guggenheim's term.

STEEL ROW MORE BITTER
Democratic House Leaders Fail

From The Tribune Burssu.l

Washington, Dec. 2-While the Demo

! efforts to-day TO bring about peace among
the warning factions in the Stanley Stee
investigating committee, Representative
Martin w. Littleton is busy preparing a
speech in defence Of his contention that
the committee should curtail its investiga-
tion because Of the governments suit
against the Steel Trust.
Mr.. Lttleton expects TO deliver this
speech in the House Monday afternoon
No less parsonage than William Jennings
Bryan Is to be the target OF Mr.. Little
| toms attack. since the "Commoner' has
allied himself with those who say that Mr.
Littleton is a friend of the Steel Trust be
cause he would halt the investigation.
Mr.. Littleton will also pay his respects
to Henry B. Martin, secretary of the Anti
Trust League. who, the New York member
alleges, is responsible for a recent news
paper attack IN which he IS referred to as
IAN ally of the Steel Trust"
The Antitrust League which Mr.. Lit
Teton described az a "nebuous 'organiza-
| ton" has advertised mass meeting in
Washington at which 1t is promised that
Mr.. Iittleton will be discussed.
Fearing further complications that may
embarrass the Democrats who are seeking
harmony, some Democrats are endeayoring
tonight TO persuade Martin 10 go easy
in his treatment of Mr.. Littleton.
Speaker Clark. Representative Under
wood and other Democratic leaders Of the
House have been unable so far 10 reconcile
the conflicting views of Chairman Stanley
and Representative Littleton.
Some OF the Democratic leaders still hope
that the matter will be satisfactorily ad-
justed before there is any division in the
party on the floor OF the House. Speaker
Clark and Mr.. Underwood hope that when
all the members arrive the committee
Itself can settle the question of procedure
Chairman Stanley may submit the question
TO the House and ask the Committee on
Rules 10 bring in an amended resolution
