So, every morning, when the wealth
er was clear and the sun warm and
bright, little Blanchette would dance
on the lawn, with Mamma watching
and giving directions. 1t wasn't work
and it wasn't in the least like a lesson,
for Blanchette loved it! And-some
day Blanchette hoped to be a great
dancer, as her Mamma had been be-
fore her. Mamma hoped she would,
too.
Sometimes her little muscles became
tired-oh, so tired. And then Mamma
would encourage her by explaining

to become tired in order to strengthen

WASHINGTON Dec. 5.-President
wilson's address at the opening SEES
sion of congress today was wholly
devoted to domestic subjects, princi-
nally the problem of railway legisla-
ton.
In the hall of the house, with sena-
Tors and representatives assembled
IN Joint session, President Wilson, in
accordance with the custom he began
at the opening of his term, read his
address from the clerks desk
The president not only renewed
his recommendation for legislation
10 prevent a nation wide railway
strike or lockout before there has
been opportunity for investigation,
but defended it against the attack OF
organized labor as nothing arbitrary
or unjust and the "justifable safe
guarding by society of the necessary
processes of its very life"
Aside from recommendations for
the passage of the Porto Rico gov
eminent bill, the corrupt practices
bill and the Webb bill to legalize
American collective selling agencies
abroad, the presidents address was
devoted wholly to the railroad situa-
ton The only feature which had
not been forecast was the elimination
OF the proposal that congress give
explicit approval to consideration by
the Interstate Commerce commission
of an increase in freight rates to
meet additional expenditures by the
railroads caused by the operation of
the Adamson law.
Interstate Commerce
To-day. the president took the posi-
ton that "the power of the Interstate
Commerce commission to grant an
increase OF rates on the ground re
ferred to is indisputably clear and a
recommendation by the congress with
regard TO such matter might seem
10 draw in question the scope of the
COMMISSIONS authority or its inclna.
ton to do justice when there Is nc
reason to doubt either"
The other recommendations on the
railroad situation made In a special
message during the last session
which were not put into law, were
renewed today They include:
Immediate provision for the en-
largement and administrative reor
ganization of the Interstate Com
MERGE commission along the lines
embodied In the bill recently passed
BY the house OF representatives ant
now awaiting action by the senate;
In order that the commission may be
enabled to deal with the many great
and various duties now devolvinl
upon II with a promptness and thor
oughness which are, with its present
constitution and means of action
practically impossible.
