Gently issued by Congress. which, in
part, reads as follows:
las the men who originated. circu-
lated and carried to Washington the
petition OF the Eighty Per Cent OF
Railway Employees asking for definite
legislation to protect us from destruc-
tive interruption OF interstate COM
merce, and provide for fair arbitration
OF all differences between railways and
employees, we feel 1t our duty to re-
port the manner in which the petition
was handled and received at the White
House.
AT the most strenuous solicitation
OF President Wilson the Congress OF
the United States, in the closing hours
of the last session. enacted what is
commonly called the Adamson law.
"The law was designed to give and
does give wage increase OF twenty
five per cent to the engineers, firemen.
conductors and others in railway train
service. who threatened a nationwide
strike II the law was not passed exact
ly as they wanted il by certain hour.
These men constitute only twenty
per cent of the railway emf loyes of
the country. In enacting a law for
their benefit Congress ignored the in
terests, rights and even the existence
Of the eighty per cent of employees,
whose average wages are much lower
than those of the specially favored few.
During the negotiations following
the strike threat Of the 35O,OOO men in
the four railway labor organizations 1t
became apparent that President Wilson
was thoroughly in sympathy with their
demand for ten hours pay for eight
hours work, or less.

Realizing this fact, we endeayored

before President Wilson the case OF the

OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN

to go downstairs again. Shall we go
up to the Holiness" she asked as they
were waiting for the elevator.
Il don't think So" said Warren
STOPPING to tie his shoe lace. Helen
fancied that he did this thing in order
to avoid her eyes. She wondered why
Warren should object to so up to the
Holmes.
1T might be a dinner party or
something, you can't tell," Warren said
in defense.
We'll" persisted Helen. Il feel just
like seeing some one tonight, try TO
think OF some one else we might take
with u.s."
AS they emerged into the street
again, car drove up to the door and
Helen recognized the Browns instantly.
Mr.. and Mrs. Holmes were sitting in
the tonneau. and Mr.. Holmes. hailed
them instantly.
"Wel WELL" said Billy Brown, get
ting out and shaking hands with Hell
en-. Where did you people come
from? Hop in, we're going to take a
little spin down to the island"
How nice" Helen calculated. I'VE
came over to ask to go trolley riding
with us. it's so much nicer to have
some one with us than to go out in the
car alone"
You bet it is" said Mr.. Holmes
1ovially, making room for Helen in
the back seat while Warren unfas-
tened one fthe sideseats for himself
Besides, your own car must be pretty
we'll banged up and out of commission.
[ don't suppose YOU have been able to
have Il fixed yet"
Helen looked blankly at Mr.. Holmes.
and then at Warren.
What happened?" she questioned.
Evidently something l don't know
about"
Mr.. Holmes Redeemed.
\ Fine situation
"Oh, Phil" said his wife, despair
ingly, why can't you keep still"
But l don't see why he should, &"
Helen persisted. If anything has
happened, l don't see why l am not
entitled to know"
"Of course you can know" said
Warren, interrupting the conversation
Il didn't tell you because there was
no need of worrying YOU"
Helen smiled sarcastically, the same
imeworn plea.
1t wouldn't worry me-" she said
coldly. 1t might be better for YOU
TO tell me things, Warren. than TO
have them come through other peo-
pie"
Il feel as If It were all my fault"
put in Mr.. Holmes.
Not at all" Helen returned. Mr.
Curtis should have told me there was
an accident l though it was strange
that YOU didn't want to get the car
out tonight, Warren. What hap
pened?"
why going down Broadway the
other night a taxi came out of side
street and hit me. Didn't do much
damage, smashed the hub of the wheel
pretty badly, and l had to order a
new mud guard"
What night was that" Helen
asked trying TO still the tumult in her
heart.
Last Wednesday. The car will be
back Saturday, and I thought l would
not tell YOU until il was all over"
Helen did not answer. She was
wondering who was with Warren the
night Of the accident. Wednesday was
the night she had spent on the sleeper
coming back from Cleveland.

Seven Penna. Second
Lieuts. Try For Commissions

Ell Paso. Texas. Aug. s.-seven
Pennsylvania second lieutenants, pre-
pairing for the examination for COM
missions in the regular army have
been assigned to regular army posi-
tions, in which it is believed they may
learn much to make them ready for
the test for regular service for Uncle
Sam.
The Pennsylvania lieutenants, aspir-
ants for commissions in the regular
army are: William Findley Brown,
Jr, Second Regiment, assigned to the
Eighth United States Cavalry; Fred
erick T. Holzbauer, Second Regiment,
to the Fifth United States Field Artil-
lery; James H. Daley, Fourth Regi-
ment, to Norman P. Croft, First Regi-
ment, and Paul E. Ziegler, Eighth
Regiment, to the Twelfth United
States Infantry; Andres A. Dubois,
Eighteenth, and Charles NJ. Parkin.
Eighteenth, to the Seventh United
States Infantry.
Much disappointment was expressed
by officers who also have aspired for
regular army appointments. but who
did not come under the condition that
Second Lieutenants only should aspire
for transfers to the regular service.

Really, Warren" said Helen, wear
ily, lis it warmer than usual. or do
feel differently about the weather than
I have other years?"
We'll, it's not half as hot as it was
last year, YOU know" Warren remark
ed from the armchair where he was
reading the paper. Remember that
awful heat wave we had in Septem-
'ber?"
IT should say I do" Helen answer
ed, but somehow l have minded the
heat more than l ever have this year
Just haven't the energy to move"
You should have stayed out at your
mothers for few days"
would you have liked that ?" Helen
asked. Mother Just begged me to,
and / refused to stay even over night"
That was foolish, of you." Warren
remarked unsympathetically. You
have telegraphed me-"
Il wish I had stayed now" Helen
said quickly. II thought you minded
whether I was with you or not"
oh, come on out for a walk, and
don't get on your high horse" said
Warren, good naturedly. IF ii weren't I
for the heat you wouldn't get such an
Idea in your head
ed Helen.
"All right; We'll take the Broadway
car and ride down, that will cool you
'off some"
Why don't you get the car out %
queried Helen, in an afterthought.
Too hot TO go over for it" remarke ed
Warren, but he did not look directly
at Helen. and was conscious in a mo-
ment that somthing was wrong
Warren, that's the second time to-
might you have answered evasively
when 1 have mentioned the car. Is
anything wrong"
"Of course not, what's the next thing
you are going to set into that head OF
yours"
Helen said nothing more, but she
thought great deal She wondered
II Warren could have had an accident
of some kind with the car and did not
want to tell her about it. However.
she determined to put the entire thing
out OF her mind. She was misjudging
warren often enough as il was, and
she knew that her ina agination needed
only the slightest food for thought in
order TO have IL run wild
A Suggestion
wish someone were in town that
we could ask 10 go with us" Helen
said, as they strolled slowly toward
the corner.
Lets go up and get the Billy
Browns" Warren suggested. They
have a car, they might ask us TO go
with them"
All right" consented Helen. and
instead Of going down town as they
had intended, they took the uptown
car and rode up a few blocks. The
ride was cool and Helen went into the
big apartment house on the heights.
hoping that the Browns would be in.
They were such fun TO go anywhere
with, and OF late, Helen and Warren
had not been seeing so much of their
friends as they had earlier in the
Spring.

gian maid, answered Helen's ring.
No, Mrs. Curtis she said prettilv,

of 531 Ballots

Washington, Aug. 7.-Charles H.
Warren, Republican National Commit
teeman for Michigan, analyzing poll
tical conditions in an interview, pre-
dicted that Hughes would have 317 of
the sal electoral votes. The number
necessary for choice is 266. In his
review of the situation Mr.. Warren
said that the Republican party was
united and that the bulk of the Pro-
gressive vote would be cast for Hughes
"In 81 States. which gave Wilson
2S3 electoral votes in 1912, the com
bined Taft and Roosevelt votes in that
year exceeded the vote cast for Will
son." said Mr.. Warren. "In / OF
these States Roosevelts vote was
greater than that of Taft. and in II
Taft's was larger than Roosevelts.
Had the combined Roosevelt and Taft
votes been cast for one candidate that
candidate would have received PIG
electoral votes to Wilson's 1852, the 152
coming almost entirely from the solid
South. Wilson's total vote in 1912
was 6.2S3.054, while the combined
Taft Roosevelt vote was 7,604.51S, a
difference of 1911 .064 in favor of the
Republican, progressive candidates.

4 woman, men have walked in Adam s
footsteps and put the blame of all
their shortcomings on womens shoul-

There is, however one sin Of
which most husbands are guilty
now and then, if not habitually, that
they have a right to lay at their
wives doors. This is the sin of
lying.
Decent men. as a rule. abhor ly-
ing. They seldom lie to each other
But they almost invariably lie to
women, and the reason of this is
because the average woman is so
constituted that she cannot stand
the truth. She prefers that a man
lie to her even when she knows
that he is lying.
Especially it is wives who make

What man would have the nerve
TO tell his wife the truth about
why he didn't come home to dinner.
and say that it was because he had
had a nerve racking day in bust
ness, and felt that he would go
raying mad if he had the children's s
noise at home added TO it?
What man would be brave enough
to tell his wife that when she went
off for a summer vacation alone it
was a real vacation for him, be-
cause it let him get out of the
monotonous round of too much
domesticity?
Glib .Romances
Not one. On the contrary, Friend

premium on lying. but actually in

her.
If men deceive their wives, It is
generally the wife's fault, because
the average woman makes it i'm
possible for any husband who isn't
an Iron Cross hero to tell her the
truth. A man who, when he takes a
drink, tells his wife instead of eat
ing cloves to hide it, or who dares
admit at home that he deliberately
asked a woman friend to lunch in
stead of prevaricating about how
he accidentally ran across her in a
