Her Horrible Suspicion.

We are all to be oversuspicious, just
nov, of everything and everybody. An
instance of this regrettable tendency
is furnished by an edifying food queue
story which is going the rounds here.
A queue had formed up outside q
butchers shop in London suburb and,
in order to make things easier for all
concerned. the shopman adopted the
plan of letting his customers in In par.
ties Of eight or ten, and Of letting them
ont from the rear Of his premises.
One old woman, noticing that. though
many went in, none came out, marveled
greatly, and, when it came her turn to
enter, she hesitated about doing so.
Hurry up, madam" shouted the
butcher, who didn't want to lose time.
But what have You done with all
the other people?' was the startling
inquiry.--London Times.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Before
Galleries filled to overflowing, debate
over the conduct of the war was re-
newed with great vigor in the senate
this afternoon. Senator Jones of
Washington assailed the War Depart
ment for failing to give the people in
scrnation about the participation Of

Jones. why is it we have to wait
torty-eight hours after Berlin tells
US American troops were engaged to

He also criticised the statement of
Chairman Hurley Of the Shipping
Board, last night reporting favor
able progress on the shipping pro-
cram. Sharp retorts were made by
administration senators led by Sena-
TOR Myers of Montana and Senator
Shafroth of Colorado. Sneator Myers
urged Senator Jones not to discour-
age the American people.
"I'm not discouraging them-I'm
lust trying to tell them some facts"
declared Senator Jones.
Excerpts from Chairman Hurley's
statement were read and picked to
