Their" Somebody ought to

brought to mind quaint phrases
which are neither American nor

did not know that'she was saying
something strange.
Whose grandmother? Yours, to

She was a fine outstanding fig
ure of a woman, my grandmother.
She lived to be sS, and 1t was the
disappointment of her life that
she died before she was 100. She
had a healthy contempt for per-
sons who could not sit bolt up
right or stand erect. Like a cat

the shembltng, shutting walk of

The reference is to the nine

two men of letters, q Frenchman,

in a day when the doctrine OF

to wish that some other peliti-

to give to the world an exam

his hatband.
How Phrase Started.
Grandmother used to call a
thing that was confused "all skies
and sevens." When we were sent
out to buy a pound of tallow can
dies, we were told to ask for
short skies" or long SKIES" the
short ones being stout and the
long ones thin, and in any case
running six candles to the pound.
1t is possible that at an earlier
day some ran seven to the pound;
and so things that were mixed
were all "sixes and sevens."

PRESIDENT HOPES TO
HAVE CONGRESS ACT
lContinued From First Pagel

for industrial peace, it was said, rather
than to wage war on big business.
The keynote of the Presidents
policy will be that the great business
interests of the country are acting in
good faith in their assurances of in
tention to conform to laws now on the
status books affecting interstate trade
and commerce. In this belief the
President desires that they shall be
met in a conciliatory spirit intended
to reduce fears that the contemplated
legislation will be based on the theory
that they should be shown no con-
sideration.
All the intelligence that has been
trickling from those close to the Adj
ministration recently, to the effect that
the President was of the opinion that
it would be mistake for Congress to
harass corporations, was confirmed
and emnhaSiZed to-day.
