you better" Lee said to him. smiling.
But general. / have not been sick"
Then am glad you have better news
from home" But, general. have
had no bad news "Ah, l took it for
granted that nothing less than sick
ness or distressing news from home

In the same vein was his remark to
. student who had been late for pray
ers. "Mr. Page. will you kindly give
my compliments to Miss and ask
her II she will please have breakfast a
little earlier for youf" To negligent
student he said: How is your moth
er? l am sure you must be devoted
to her; you are SO careful of the
health Of her son."
Summoned to Lees office, lad was
told that only patience and industry
would save him from failure In col
lege and In life. But. general. you

Senate today passed the permanent
tariff board bill by a vote of fifty
six to twenty-three. The end of the
long fight came at $3.50 O'Clock this

the time and there was much confu-

recognize them. asserting a debate

the Democrats generally opposing ii.

House for further consideration. At

amounted to 2.763,S93, an increase of
