on the currency bill between the House
and Senate are the following:

regional banks; the Senate for from
eight to twelve" discretion being left
TO the Federal Reserve Board.
The Senate added a provision Great
ing a fund TO guarantee the deposits ct

Senators Smoot, Brandegee and sew

the same view as Mr.. Bristow. insist
ing that the dangers that might result
from the arrangement OF the present
banking system by the establishment
of the system proposed in the Demo-
cratic bill invited risks too great Tor

they expressed regret that they did not
have an opportunity to vote for bill
which would carry out what they re-
garded as proper currency reform.
A running fight was kept up on the
measure during the entire day. The
reserve features and the provision ex-
empting the employees Of the Federal
Reserve Board from civil service re-
qu.rements were singled out especially
ac the targets for attack Each Of the
many amendments was defeated by q

votes.
Marshall Breaks a Tie.
When the bill had passed from COM
mittee Of the whole into the Senate, an
amendment offered by Senator Bran
degee to strike out the clause exempt
ing the employees OF the board from
civil service requirements resulted in a
tie vote-43 to 43. The Vice President,
announcing the tie promptly. added
in an emphatic voice: The Vice-Presi-
dent votes in the negative. and the
amendment is lost" although 1t would
have been lost without his vote.
After repeated attacks on the civil
service feature had resulted in failure,
and the opposition forces had fallen
back and were ready to abandon the
fight Senator Jones offered an amend
ment authorizing the President to place
the employees in question under the
civil service If he desired to do 80.

For more than a month the Senate

not achieve a complete victory in the

ONLY an End

School team of boys who tipped the
scales at higher figure. Though he
was the lightest boy on the squad,
Dent had been given a place on the
eleven owing partly to the fact that
there was a scarcity of material and
partly because he was hard worker
and full of fight. The captain had
been playing him at end, consider
ing that one of the least important
positions.
Each day Dent practiced with the
other boys under the direction of the
captain and then when they had fin-
ished and gone home had stayed an
extra half hour and practiced falling
on the ball which Ivor had learned
to roll along the ground in an amaz-
ingly uncertain manner. The mem
bers of the team had been inclined to
scoff at Dents practice. claiming that
they could see no fun in sprawling
in the mud after pesky football.
But Dent kept his peace and said
nothing, the while thinking of con-
versation he had had with Grant
Smith. Grant was member of the
State Normal football team. During
Grants vacation. Dent had taken the

were not having the success in skirt

In the beginning of the third quar-
ter, the Bryant backs got the ball and
began steady rush toward the op-
ponents' goal. So irresistible was
their attack that within ten minutes
Bryant had scored a touchdown The
right half failed to kick goal and the
score was: Bryant. 6; Garrison, 0.
When the ball was again put In
play Garrison fought like tigers to tie
the score. Down the field they moved
and for awhile it looked as if they
would succeed in making a touch
down. But Bryant played a puntine
game and every time 1t got posses

The Girl Who Did Not Sleep.

We'll, one night, when the little
Princess had been particularly 'awtul
in her objections to retiring, Nurse
simply picked her up bodily and
dumped her into bed-Princess or no
Princess-turned out the light and lett
her crying and kicking the covers
around in her naughty rage. Inc
Princess screamed and screamed un-
til her throat became hoarse and crled
out over and over again:
"T don't ever want to go to bed'
don't ever want to go to sleep! oh,
oh. oh. how | wish | didn't have to go
to sleepn
presently, just as she was crying
out that way a queer, greenish light
sprang up in one corner of the room
and grew slowly larger and larger and
brighter and brighten.
"The Princess ceased her cries and
dried her tears mighty quickly, you
may be sure. She grabbed the bed

frightened, oh, so frightened! In a

sleep again until-until-well, until
you yourself go to Nurse every even
ing for a whole week and beg her to
put you to bed two hours before your
regular bedtime. Remember that
now, Princess, for your wish is grant
ed'
And with that the queer green light
suddenly flashed out and the Princess
finally peeked from under the covers
to find the room totally dark and no
Fairy OF anyone else to be seen. But
she was still frightened-for she was
not certain by any means that she
had merely been dreaming.
"And all that night. to her utter
amazement-and to her joy, too, 1T

to set the ball rolling in elusive little
hops and turns while his brother
threw himself at full length upon the
oval.
Dent" asked Ivor, as he trotted
at the side of his painting brother,
haven't you practiced falling on the
ball enough?"
II should say not answered Dent.
II need a lot more practice"
As Ivor walked home from the
school building with his brother he
could not help but think that Dent
was going to extremes. There was
far more fun, he thought, in kick
ing the ball and forwardpassing as
the other boys did.
Denton Marsh, weighing 90 pounds,
