Easily as This.

In the course of some ~light-hearted
comment on the decision OF the au-
thortties of a woman's college In west-

Sun recalls the following incident or
an earlier day in a n~eighbortng re-
gion:
Some twenty years ago a New YORK
contractor was employed to bulld a
fine country house in the Berkshire
hills. The laborers, who were recruit
ed from the n~eighboring villages, Were
boarded at nearby farmhouses, Be-
fore long they all went out on strike.
The superintendent in charge was
powerless. The contractor hurriedly
took an express train for the. BerK-
shires, and on arriving, immedlately
demanded an interview with the lead
ers of the strike.
Whats the matter" he demanded.

man. You can't expect US to work
on empty stomachs. The company

The company pays enough to have

what is the trouble?'
I'VE don't get pie but once a day.
said the spokesman.
"Abominable." agreed the builder
"You shall have pie three times

Mr.. barrow was showered with tel

HOUSE ovERRIDEs VETO
Democrats Have Bid Of Fl Republic
ans In Vote Measure.

Washington, D. C.-By the narrow
margin of five votes the House passed
the wool tariff revision bill over Pres
ident Taft's veto. The vote, TIA to 80,
was made possible only by the defec-
ton of 81 republicans, who voted with
the democrats.
The announcement of democratic
success created a wild scene in the
house and amid great confusion the
republican leaders protested that
Speaker Clark must count as voting
ten members who answered pres
ent" to their names, a ruling which
would have defeated the democratic
program by overcoming the five vote
margin and making possible the re-
cording of the necessary two-thirds
vote. This the speaker declined to
do.
Less than an hour after the wool
bill had been repassed In the house,
the conferees on the sugar tariff bill
met and disagreed. They decided to
report to both the houses that 1t had
been found impossible to reach a
compromise between the Underwood
and Lodge-Bristow bills.
This action Is expected to mark the
end of sugar tariff consideration In
the present session and the excise
tax bill, which was framed to make
up revenues that would have been lost
by the reduction of the sugar tariff
probably will remain In conference
when Congress adjourns.
While democratic and progressive
senate leaders believe the wool bill
cannot be passed In that body ovel
the Presidents veto, they will con
tinue to demand action on the cottor
tariff measure.
The vote on the wool bill came as |
surprise to the republican leaders o
, the house. When they DISCOVERIES
that detection from their ranks wa
. to be expected it was too late to pre-
vent it. AS a result the following
| republicans went over to the demo
