Sly Shots at the Solons.
BY THE OBSERVER.

Several Representatives have not
been using sugar at all freely, for
several years-and the use of this
article is almost entirely curtailed
by several members Of the Senate.
The shortage, therefore, was not
felt by them. In fact, they insisted
that 1t would be better for the kid
neys of the human race II the
shortage continued indefinitely. This
is what Senator Hollis insisted
constituted a silver lining Of very
black cloud.
Senator Kenyon's successful eff
fort to stop the sugar inquiry and
investigate the coal situation was
brought about by his belief that
coal is needed more than sugar Just
now. There is no answer to this
argument
We know of two members of
Congress who are utilizing the hol-
days to have the dentist I'LL every
cavity in their teeth. They want
to take no chances on shortages in
materials used for that purpose.
We have heard Of none who are
preparing for the recently-announc-
ed shortage in false-teeth.
Every energy will be bent accord
ing to Representative Glass, to get
the Federal farm loan amendment
through after the holidays. The
district banks are calling for It. and
so are the farmers. And the lat
ter class have to be "pampered"
now, IL anybody does. and 1t seems
right that they should.
Recalling the use Of that word
wasn't 1t applied to Mr.. Goethals
by Senator Stone when the Goe-
thals-Denman row was on last sum-
mer? Is it possible that Senator
Bill will still apply it to the gen.
eral when he takes his place as
chief quartermaster?
Senator Baker will come before
the Senate Military Committee one
OF these days-and he is loading
up" for It. so 1t is whispered, And
he hasn't the least desire In the
world, so 1t is said, to hide any
thing that has been done. 1t might
be added the committee doesn't
want him to try to hide anything.

Joined the advancing group. The
close was strong at best prices.
Rises Due to Holiday.
Business was on. light scale and
the advances were probably due to
the evening up of contracts over the
holidays, for there had been o small
short interest developed on the ad-
vance that began late last week.
Strengths Of the steel stocks Is
really due to q large extent to an
nouncement by the Steel Corpora
ton OF the purchase Of $50, 900, 900
Of government obligations against
tax payments. Investors have known
Of the big earnings Of the corpora
ton, but the actual tax figures make
them realize more keenly what ire
mendous earnings have been. made.
Big Earnings Foreseen.
The steel stocks as a class can
now be purchased for what they
have earned since the war began.
With the government forces to 60
ahead with its war preparations
in q practical way. as 1t will be
forced as q result Of the dis
closures made at the Congressional
Investigation. The steel companies
will pile up large earnings in the
coming year.
By the same token railroad stocks
are considered to be worth more
than they have been selling for be-
cause priority orders will be issued
in such a way as to permit all
classes of freight to move more
rapidly.
Some steel mills are running now
at only SO per cent of capacity and
IL Is expected that as a result of
the cancellation of unnecessary
priority orders they will be able
to speed up and get the stun over
the railroads at almost normal
rate.
Big Bankers Lose Fear.
There is also a better understand
ing OF the railroad situation and
the big bankers are no longer
afraid to hold their own railroad
shares.
In addition to this It IL sug-
gested that a way will be found
to enable the public to take the
new liberty bond issues without
sacrificing their investments.
The advance In Chevrolet of IL
points early in the day was due
partly to investment buying and
partly to a renewal OF the talk of
a merger of that company with
General Motors, which it controls.

EILEEN" OPENS AT
 PARSONS MONDAY

It has ever been the dream of Vic tor Herbert that some day he would compose a score which would charac- terize the folk song and melody of Ireland, and from time to time he has written music that carried this idea with it. At last he has brought to light the realization of that dream, a compleed work in the score of the TO- mantle comic opera which is named Eileen, and said to be replete with harmony artistic OrChestratiOn and of such high standard, from every view point that critical reviewers have seen proper to dignify it as the master work of Americas greatest composer of light music.
 This new opera, which will have it's first production at Parsons theater, Hartford on next Monday evening be- ginning a stay of one week, with We'd nesday and Saturday matinees, was highly successful in New York, where 1t was presented at the Shubert thea ter for the greater part of last year.
 As on so many occasions 1t is found that Victor Herbert's associate in the

 Have you any engagement for to- day?"
 'None.' I reflected grimly that I was not apt to have any engagement with Dicky, whose last words to me this morning had been that he in tended to stay in town until I "got over my grouch,' and that when I sent for him he would come home.
 'Thcn, couldn't you lunch with me somewhere? It's the last chance shall have to see you.' There was something indescriba bly, mournful in his voice. I felt that his request was one l could not re- fuse, no matter how angry Dicky would be upon knowing it. ''Why, 1 think that would be charming,' I said, banally enough.
 "Where would you like to go?" T will leave that entirely to you. I shall be at the Pennsylvania sta tion at 11:3O. Do you wish to come thcre for me?'' "I shall be there. Good-by.'

VAMPIRE GIRL AT
 LYCEUM THEATER

Louise Glaum, the Triangle star appears at the Lyceum today in "A Strange TransgressOr.' Those who saw her perform last evening say she Is a wonderful vampire. Most of the actors doing vampire parts in pie lures today overdue their parts but Miss Glaum plays the role in a most pleasing fashion. It is a very strong dramatic picture, one that holds you spellbound till the finish. and affords Miss Glaum to display her ability as an emotional actress to good advan- tage. Supporting the star is J. Barney Sherry who plays the role of Dr. Hampton. On the same bill is a New Mack Sennett- Keystone comedy with the famous comedian Ben Turpin in A Clever Dummy" A side-splitting comedy with a million laughs, also an o. Henry story. Manager Glackin has arranged a special show for Sum- day evening. Featuring the talented star Florence La Badie in War and the Woman and as an added fea- ture will present Charles Ray in the Punch Hitter" One of the best 5- reel comedies ever produced.

SIDE TALKS
The Habit of Apprehension.
BY RUTH CAMERON

And think how much needless un- happiness it causes. Think of the many times that woman has suffered almost as much as if an accident really had happened to her husband times when a woman who did not have the habit Of leaping forward mentally toward trouble, would have thought calmly, Some little thing has happened to delay him just as it did last time"
 She Looks Around Every Corner for
 Trouble.
 True the time may come when it will not be some little thing which delays him. But the chances are probably a thousand to one against serious accident. Besides, if it is coming it will come anyway. She cannot avert it by looking around every corner for. trouble. She can only add to whatever actual trouble may be coming to her, the absolutely unnecessary misery of constantly eX- pecting evil where evil is not.

writing of "Eileen'' is none other than Henry Blossom, who so successfully collaborated in the writing of their previous brilliant successes "The Red Mill'', "The Prima Donna, Mile. Modiste'', 'The Only Girl'' and ''Prin- cess Pat"
 The story of "Eileen', which is said to be replete with romance and daring tells how Barry O'Day, a dashing young patriot, is being pursued by the British soldiery. In his flight he hap pens at the castle of Lady Maude Els terbroOke, who is a svmpathizer. Dur ing his stay there he falls in love with Eileen, the young and pretty cousin of his protector. He is able to elude his pursuers, although in many instances he escapes by a hairs breath, but in his desire to see his sweetheart once more he returns to the castle where he is arrested. A proclamation of am nesty saves him from execution.
 The excellent and original com pany includes Walter Scanlan, Olga Roller, Scott Welsh Edward Martin del, Louise Allen, Irene Rowan, AL geron Greig, Josie Claflin Harry Cros- by John B. Cooke, and others, also a large chorus of pretty girls and the added services of a large orchestra, many of them soloists from Victor Herbert's symphony orchestra.

The habit of expecting evil is a ter rible thing.
 have a friend whose husband goes about a great deal in his ma- chine on business. He is frequently delayed for one or another of those innumerable reasons well known to motorists and business men, and does not reach home at the time she ex- poets him. And almost every time one of these delays occurs his wife becomes convinced that something must have happened to him.
 She keeps going to the window and peering down the street. She says anXiously that she cannot think what can have kept him so late. She looks at her wrist watch every other minute. She doesn't see why he doesn't tele- phone And finally she reaches the stage when she knows something must hay happened.
 And After All It Is Only a Flat Tire.
 And then he blows in, and it is as usual, nothing but a flat tire or delay appointment, or any of the innumer- able little things that can happen, that has kept him.
 Most wives would get used to these delays and take them for granted, but this woman has always had the habit of expecting evil. If one of the children had a light rash she expected scarlet fever. If she got a letter in an unfamiliar hand she thought something must be wrong She told me once that even as a child when she came up the street after having been away on a visit she had an absurd, illogical dread that she might see crape on her door, It Makes One Less Competent to Meet
 Life.
 That is certainly a diseased state of mind and one into which many people in some degree permit them- selves to get I will not say that 1t actually brings evil upon one because I do not believe that But of course it makes one less cheerful, less courageous and therefore less able to deal with life competently.

Why Nadoe Decided to Meet Dr.
 Petit.


 Mrs. Graham?''
 Dr. Pettit's deep measured tones sounded deeper than ever through the telephone.
 "Oh, yes, pr. Pettit,' I answered. How do you do ??
 The next moment l bit my lip at my want of thought. His voice held a playful and pleased intonation when he spoke again.
 T did not dream you knew my voice. he said.
 That is one of my accomplish menrs,' I returned lightly. "Gener- ally, I can tell voice after hearing it once, always after listening to it twice.
 Oh" The monosyllable had an edge of disappointment, and there was q perceptible pause.
 'As I remember our last conversa- ton, Mrs. Graham" he resumed, and I smiled to myself at the formality which had come back into his voice. CT drew the inference that in some manner I might be of use to you in South America. Am I right?''
 I hesitated, while all the arguments against accepting the service of this man, a service which would in all probability lead him into danger. rushed over me. But the very real danger of my father who was in the same country of South America to which Dr. Petit was going, swept every other consideration out of my mind.
 Dickys Words Echo.
 You can do mo a very great serv- ice down there, pr. Pettit,' l said, and l could not quite conceal the tremor in my voice.
 T am so glad.' No formality i'll the deep voice now. The words rushed together roughly as if some spring had been released in the voice that uttered them. And now, when am I to see you in order to learn just what this service is?"
 I had known the question must come but l was not prepared to an swer it. Dicky'S words on the night we came home from Lillian's dinner in honor of Robert Savarin. sounded as vividly in my ears as if he had just finished speaking them.
 And just let me tell you that you'd better cut out any farewells or messages to father or any of that bunk I've had just about as much of Dr. Petit and his d--impudence as my aching right foot can stand.'
 "And You Shall Choosc.''
 I knew that if I saw Dr. Petit be- fore he left and Dicky should hear of it, it would mean one of Dicky's rages, something I had no desire to meet. 1 had no scruples, however, on the score of Dickys wishes in the matter His outrageous treatment of me the day before because of the love letter in his handwriting and that of a woman which I had found in his waste basket, and concerning which he had refused me any explanation absolved my conscience. I had no qualms upon the propriety of meet ing the young physician, but I had nervous dread of Dicky's anger.
 My little particular devil took this occasion to whisper into my ears
 "Why should Dic1y ever know of it ?"
 I had no time either to accept the suggestion or put it from me, for Dr. Pettit's voice came over the wire with a Dained infection. Don't you wish to see me?" he asked. "Is 1t anything which you can write or telephone me-" The humility of the man, the sad ness in his voice, filled me with re- morse. In my selfish absorption over 1 my own personal problem, ] was ] treating with unpardonable rudcness | this man whose only desire was to serve me.
 "Of course, I wish to see you" 1
