There Is an old Welsh kitchen near

my match by the observatory clock.
Since everybody else who has watch
does that. nobody paid any attention
to me. but my wife created a big
enough sensation for both OF US.
"She had done little shopping be-
fore we went down to Greenwich. In
her handbag she carried remnant Of
lace. Far more attractive to her than
the observatory's wonderful clock
were the little iron pegs driven into
the observatory. wall. which repre-
sented the true measure Of the Brit

Just at one o'clock out came her
bit Of lace. and at the minute when

the fact that standard time for . large

set within those walls. my wife stood
before the iron pegs calmly measuring

NO CURRENCY
LEGISLATION
THIS SESSION
POSITION IN MATTER MADE
CLEAR By REPUBLICAN
SENATOR'S.
If This Legislation Is Forced There
Will BE No Effort Made to
Hurry the Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON. July 29.-Republi-
can senators made IL clear today that
they DO not propose 10 hasten con-
sideration Of the tariff bill II the pres
ident and Democratic leaders of con-
gress are going 10 insist upon the en-
actment of currency legislation at
this session. Senator Gallinger ad-
clared that the Republicans were in
no temper TO be forced. and Senator
Lodge insisted that assurances OF n
prolonged hot summer session would
not be conductive TO fastening tariff
action.
Discussion on this point arose when
Senator Gallinger sought information
as 10 the intent of the Democrats.
Senator Simmons said he hoped that
the Republicans were not making
threats 20 purpose'y delay passage OF
the tariff. which all business interest
wanted settled speadily. Republican
senators assured him thar they wer.
making no threats. but that IL wa.
bound 10 follow that there would BE-
no haste witt the tariff unless an
early adjournment should be induce
ment therefor.
Not Conducive to Speed.
Senator Gallinger said that reading
In the morning papers every DAY that
the President would insist on holding
congress here 10 enact currency leg
islation would not speed up action on
the tariff. Senator Lodge added that
~ was mos; unwise 10 demand action
on such importan; legislation as the
currencv Of 2 tired out Congress
Progressive Republicans disclaimed
any intention TO delay voting on the
tarif unnecessarily. despite what else
might be in store. Senator Borah de
ciarinE thar statements 10 the contra
~ from other sources did not express
the views Of all on the minority side.
