''Onlv Three Grams of Corn

My Dear Miss Doom:
1 saw in your column that Mary
E. ON requested the poem, only
Three Grains of Wheat" but ! think
she made a mistake, as in my book
it is "Only Three Grains of Corn.
1t is enclosed.
Can you publish the poem called
"Osler Joe?" l have tried every
where but have been unable. to
secure it. Also, can you please tell
me how to become a little more
neshy? 1 am well developed but
very thin. Do you think | ought to
diet? Thanking you,
ONLY THREE GRAINS OF CORN.
Give me three grains of corn,
mother,
Only three grains of corn;
1t will keep the little life l have
Till the coming of the morn.
I am dying of hunger and cold,
mother,
Dying of hunger and cold;
And half the agony of such death
My lips have never told.
1t has gnawed like a wolf at my
heart, mother,
A wolf that is fierce .or blood;
All the livelong day, and the night
beside,
Gnawng for lack of food.
l dreamed of bread in my sleep,
mother,
And the sight was heaven to see:.
1 awoke with an eager furnishing
lip,
But you had no bread for me.
How could look to you, mother,
How could 1 look to you,
For bread to give to your starving
boy,
When you were starving, too?
For | read the famine in your cheek,
And in your eye so wild,
And l felt it in your bony hand,
AS you laid it on your child.
The queen has lands and gold,
mother,
The queen has lands anC gold;
While you are forced to your empty
breast,
A skeleton babe to hold.
A babe that is dying of want,
mother,
As l am dying now,
With a CHASTITY look in it's sunken
eye,
And famine upon it's brow.
What has poor Ireland done,
mother,
What has poor Ireland done,
That the world looks on and sees us
starve,
Perishing one by one?
Do the men of England care not,
mother,
The great men and the high,
For the suffering sons of Erin's Isle
Whether they live or die?
There is many brave heart here,
mother,
Dying of want and cold,
While only across the channel
mother,
Are many that roll in gold.
There are rich and proud men there,
mother,
With wonderous wealth to view,
And the bread they fling to their
dogs tonight
Would give life to me and you.
Come nearer to my side, mother,
Come nearer to my side,
And hold me fondly, as you held
My father when he died.
Quick, for I cannot see you, mother,
My breath is almost gone.
Mother, dear mother, ere I die,
Give me three grains of corn.

WASHINGTON
IS BUSY
Paul M. Warburg is Quizzed
By Senate Banking
Committee
M'REYNOLDS SLATED
FOR SUPREME COURT
The Railroad Rate Decision.
Operating Incomes
Inadequate

Washington, Aug. Saturday was
the busiest day at Washington of the
season. The president departed from
his custom of resting and devoted the
afternoon to conferences which he hopes
will prevent a great railroad strike. The
Senate banking and currency committee
gave an entire afternoon to quizzing
Paul NJ. Warburg, named for the federal
reserve board. Senator Brstow as
sumed the role of leading interrogation,
but the task was not completed and
went over until to-day. The Senate
rambled along with amendments to the
federal trade commission bill, chiefly
over a provision to allow aggrieved par
ties to collect three-fold damages. The
House alone abstained from activity.
That was because Representative Dono-
van OF Connecticut insisted upon a
quorum being present to consider the
amendment to the AIdrich- Vreeland bill.
A quorum of the House could not be had
Saturday and accordingly there was an
adjournment in the early afternoon.
The war news from Europe, especially
Germany's declaration against Russia,
reached the capitol in the late afternoon.
Ii was naturally discussed much but was
received with general regret, as hopes of
a final agreement for peace had not been
altogether abandoned.
Although a very abstract subject the
long decision on the IS per cent
ease" by the interstate commerce com
mission was undoubtedly the most inn
portant Washington transaction of the
afternoon. The decision will not suit
the railroads entirely, for many of their
requests for increases are denied, but the
findings and also the suggestions of the
commission about ways of meeting
present exigencies make this one of the
most notable announcements ever
handed down by that body. Perhaps the
most important point of the decision is
that the Operating income of the rail
roads in official classification territory
taken as a whole is smaller than il de-
manded in the interest Of both the gen
eral public and the railroads.
This matter, over which there has |
been long and bitter contention. indicates !
an attitude by the commission which |
will have bearing upon future applica
tions for rate increases and will encour /
age railroad officials generally. The
commissions decision is comprehensive |
and will probably constitute an authori-
tative document on many points vital to
railroad operations. The increases
granted fall chiefly to railroads in the
middle west No increases are granted
n New England where the decision
states, "the needs of the lines are being
AIRED for locally One suggestion adj
ranced is that conferences be held be-
.ween the state commissions. the carriers

-anee passenger fares in localities where
hese are shown TO have been unremun-
rative. in accordance with 'the plan
dopted in New England"

THE RATES
| DECISION
Railroads Get Some Help,
But No General In
crease
NEW ENGLAND
ROADS ARE DENIED
Two Members of J. C C. Dis
sent From Majority
Opinion

Washington, Aug. 3,--The interstate
commerce commission, in divided opin-
ion made public Saturday, granted some
of the per cent freight rate increases
asked by the eastern railroads and de-
MED others. Increases viii apply in the
territory north OF the Ohio and Potomac
rivers and from a vertical line drawn
through Buffalo and Pittsburg west as
far as the Mississippi river. All class
rates and many commodity rates are in
creased 5 per cent in that section. No
advances whatever we're permitted east
from Buffalo and Pittsburg to the At
lantic seaboard. That excludes from the
area from which the railroads will re-
ceive benefits the greatest traffic-produc-
ing centers of the country.
Commissioners Daniels and McChord
dissented from the majority opinion.
Mr.. Daniels held that 5 per cent in
crease should have been general; that
the railroads were entitled to it to meet
the high cost of living. Mr.. McChord
held that the reasons which the majority
held TO warrant an increase west of
Pittsburg applied equally &c the terri
tory east.
The majority, headed by Chairman
Marian, held as to rates west OF Pitts
burg that they were the lowest in the
country and warranted an increase
While il was held that the income of
the eastern railroads was smaller than
demanded in the public interest. no
showing had been made warranting
general increase. The real relief. the
commission said. for the New England
roads and those in central freight asso-
citation territory was financial reorgan-
ization upon a sound basis. Il was held
that rather than raising freight rates
the railroads should discontinue costly
free services to shippers. develop en- |
rieucy Of personnel and equipment. stop
giving free passes and possibly increase
their passenger fares TO keep pace With |
the high-grade service the public de- |
mands
The crisis which railroad managers |
protested was confronting them was /
pronounced 70 have little foundation.

icterized as propaganda to influence its /
iecision and added there was no doubt 4

this glance of his has punch in it, as
We say in our modern American slang"
Then he goes on;
