HOUSE MEMBERS
ATTACK Rider
Borland Amendment Opposed
on Floor by Both Repub-
leans and Democrats.
BYRNS HITS PROPOSAL
Chairman in Charge Of Bill Admits He
Is Enemy Of Plan to Lengthen
Federal Work Day.

Opposition 10 the Borland scheme to
increase arbitrarily the workday OF gov
eminent clerks in Washington showed
its teeth on the floor Of the House yes
terday when general debate on the mes
sage was continued.
Republicans and Democrats alike
jumped into the debate to dart an occa-
sinai rspier-like query at Representative
Joseph Byrns, of Tennessee. the men,
Der in charge OF the bill. who is put in
the anomalous position Of defending, as
chairman in charge OF the bill, a section
which he personally is opposed to and
which was read into the bill with scant
courtesy over his head.
Chairman Byrns admitted that he had
been steam-rollered when the provision
was read into the bill without considerz-
ton of any kind whatsoever; that he
believed the clerks on the one hand. and
their immediate employers, department,
division and bureau chiefs. should have
been seriously and carefully consulted
before such a provision was railrosded
To the House calendar: that he had no
reason to believe that tine provision would
result either in increased efficiency or
in decreased expenditures: that he did
not believe government clerks are over
paid on the basis Of seven-hour mini
mum workday-in fact Mr.. Byrns nom.
inally witness for the defense Of the
Borland rider, proved about as excellent
a witness for the prosecution as could
he called. and opponents OF the bill made
the most of their opportunity.
Representatives Austin. OF Tennessee
Ragsdale, OF South Carolina; London. OF
New York; Howard, of Georgia, and
Reavis. Of Nebraska, all managed to
bring out points against the Borland
rider in the course Of Mr. Byrns general

Of a combination of natures remedies,

regenerates the blood supply, overcomes
rheumatism, eliminates catarrh and puts
the stomach in condition to digest the
food properly. That this is proven 1t is
only necessary to listen to the statements
Of people who have given Dreco a fair
trial. Here is a recent one from Mr.. A.
L. Chavez, 733 Ninth street northwest.

tirely cured of stomach trouble and feel
improved in every way. The catarrh
is much better, rheumatic pain all gone,
gas does not form in my stomach any
more, heada ches stopped and my general

TO MY COUNTRY COUSINS.

n NY few visits to the country
MI have always been GASES in my
workaday life and | often re-
greet it did not fall to my lot to have
been raised in the country. So many
of the letters receive come from
girls and boys on farms or in small
towns. To them the coming of the
moving picture has meant supreme
amusement and established for them
better relationship with the outside
world.
When the girl on the farm writes
to me and says, II envy you, Miss
Pickford-you are city girl" by re-
turn mail there goes letter from
me with: Little Miss Country Girl, it
is l who envy you"
At the same time, l can appreciate
that perhaps they are growing tired
Of what they have been accustomed
to all their lives, as it is as natural
for them to long for a city change as
it is for me to dream ever of the in
viting seasons in the country. Per-
haps we are all to be pitied when our
lives include but half the experiences
possible to humanity and we have
normal desire for completeness. This
very desire stimulates US and causes
us to make radical changes, while the
current of those moving countryward
offsets the ofttimes lamented current
of those cityward bound.
1--WE do not have the advantages
the city girls have" writes one young
girl. She may be right, but we do
not have the hcslth-giving pleasures
derived from a natural, normal life
away from the pent-up cities.
Some Fond Recollections.
When l think of the country, one
Of my first recollections is of the
early morning in the apple orchard.
climbed high into the branches of an
old gnarled tree which was in full
perfumed bloom, and sat there for an
hour or so, looking out across a sun
fleckcd valley, painted in springs
most harlequined colors. In the al
falfa fields were pedigrced Holstein
cows-in the center of the field was
a brook, shaded by dropping willows
1t was just such a picture as l have
seen upon Millet canvas
Fast becoming a thing of the past
are the little red schoolhouses. l
have read they were unhygienic and
poorly equipped, so progress has
erected in their place many up-to-
date, well-ventilated school buildings.
The boys and girls of yesterday
who are men and women of today as
sure US they had more than their pic
turesqueness to recommend them.
1--WE did not have much time to
worry about germs in those days"
quote our grandfathers. Even the
girls were exposed to all sorts of
weather two-thirds of the year, and
were not injured by poor ventilation
the rest of the time. l am seventy
and l am still hale and hearty" And
here the old grandfathers always
chuckle and hold out their feeble,
blue-veined hands as steadily as they
can to prove their argument
While they had but few studies in
those days, they learned those few
with thoroughness unfortunately not
equaled today. Children arc now
taught more branches of knowledge,
and because of all these tributaries of

art and literature they cannot assim-
ilate as quickly as they did when
there were just reading, writing and
arlthmetic-it is the inscrutable law of
compensation, after all.
So many old people neither live in
the present nor for the future, but
dwell forever in the past. l know a
little old lady who tells me, when
go to visit her, of the old-time SPELL
ing bees, quilting parties, harvest
homes, singing schools, sleigh rides
and scores of other old-fashioned
merrymaking pastimes.
When l hear her tell of the simple,
sweet courtships of yesterday, l think
our unrest may have gained US much
and brought US far, but we have still
lost some of the tendercst ideals we
must try to find again.
