"Sh-h," said Mrs. Snoggles, and just
then another piece of pie was set be-
fore her husband.
When taps was sounded over the
last crumb the happy family saunter-
ed about the room, greeting their
friends and inspecting the booths in

explaining the strategy of the Italian
drive, his wife strayed off. But not
for long. When her husband looked
around for her he noticed two things;
she was smiling happily and under her
arm she carried bundle.

THE CHURCH DINNER.

breakfast of mush, bacon and coffee,
braced himself for the customary ques-
ton.
"Oh, dear, what shall have for din
ner?" Mrs. Snoggles inquired
"Hoove away all you want to, my
dear, but don't put any more of that
camouflage pudding before me-" her
husband answered.
Trying to appear unruffled, she re-
marked that the church was giving a
dinner that night and that it might be
that he would rather eat some one
else's cooking.

he announced that it would be a clear

eat much, anyhow. But, then, she had
never been father or a mother, and
probably not even a sister.
Mrs. Snoggles found many friends.
Throughout the meal they WED with
each other to keep her table supplied
with food. Some one brought two
plates of chicken and mashed pota-
toes. Some one else carried in a salad
and another poured the coffee. Some
one who wished to become acquainted
brought bowl of Lima beans. Little
Sue found a spare fork and ate most
of her fathers meat. Mother fed
most of hers to baby. A volunteer

GILLETT ASSAILS
WAR POLITICS OF
HOUSE DEMOCRATS
CONTRASTS ACTS OF MAJORITY
WITH THOSE OF THE RE-
PUBLICAN MINORITY.

Washington-Rep. Gillett of Massa-
chusetts, acting Republican leader, in
q speech in the house, attacked the
war record Of the Democratic major
ity, contrasting with 1t that of the Re-
publican minority. He said the cleo
ton Of Republican house this year
would bring no encouragement to the
kaiser, "for he knows who have been
his fiercest foes and who he had most
reason to fear"
Speaker Clark, Democratic Leader
Kitchin and Chairman Dent, of the
house military committee, were
singled out for comment on their at
titude and activities, and Chairman
Ferris, of the Democratic congression-
al campaign committee, was accused
of unfair criticism of the Republican
record for campaign purposes.
Would the support of the war have
been any less vigorous II a Republi-
can had been speaker instead Of our
honored Champ Clark, who opposed
the declaration of war and went out
of his way to defeat the draft" asked
Mr.. Gillett.
Assalis kitchln and Dent.
Would the sinews of war have been
any less amply or more sectionally
provided if Republican had been at
the head of the ways and means COM
mittee instead of Mr.. Kitchin, who
also voted against the war and against
the draft? Would necessary war leg
islation have been retarded any more
II at that moment Republican had
been chairman Of the military COM
mittee instead of Mr.. Dent, from
whose hands the administration pro-
gram Of the draft had to be taken
and carried through Republican?
And 80 l might proceed with the 9TH
er committees"
Mr.. Gillett said he believed Mr..
Ferris was the first to stain the col
umns of the record with partisan
tinge from which they had so long
been free" He added that the speech
was intended as campaign docu-
ment like others for distribution un-
der Mr.. Ferris frank.
q. o. p. for Preparedness.
Referring to preparedness, Mr.
Gillett asserted that during the If
teen years before this war 1t was the
main body Of the Republican party
and it's leaders which vigorously IA
vored preparation and it was the main
body of the Democratic party and It's
leaders which denounced and defeated
It,"
The statement of the National Sc
curity league selecting eight meas
ures OF the last two congresses which
II regarded most vital to the war was
pointed to by Mr.. Gillett as showing
that seven men voted wrong on all
eight measures. "Of these seven"
he said, six were Democrats and one
Republican. Forty-seven men voted
right on all eight measures and of
them four were Democrats and forty
three were Republicans"
The next congress, Mr.. Gillett con-
cluded, will have to face the post war
problems and because Of industrial
centers being In the northern states
he argued Republican congress
could better solve these than a Demo-
cratic house composed of many south
ern members.
