ABOARD TIE TRANSPORT
By AUGUSTUS THOMAS
of the Vigilantes.

l haven't told our secret. dear.
Since my good=by to you:
But flowers and birds were singing It..
And flags and ribbons fltnging it,
And golden sunshine bringing it
Down every breeze that blew.
1t filed me as we crossed the pier
To march aboard the boat
With every band playing it.
The stepping feet a saying it,
The singing tars Delaying it;
Filled eyes and heart and throat
The story still goes on by night
Though all the bunting's furled;
The tightening ropes are rafting it,
TIE speeding waves are prattling it
The whispering stars are tattling Il
And telling all the world.
l know when we get where they fight
And reckoning death shall call.
Where bursting steel is Smelling it,
And flaming guns are belling it,
And deadly hate is helling it,
Our love will last them all

HOW TO SAVE $1,000, 900
BY JULIET WILBOR TOMPkINS
of the viqiIantes.

OF course, you bought an extra Lib
erty bond; that is one more than you
had expected to, or thought that YOU
could afford. You bought it because
the need was so rubbed into you that
you could not hold back. Now sit
down and calculate what it cost to
sell you that extra bond. Put down
all the items; printing, engraving, ad-
vertising mailing, telephoning, shoe
leather. man-power and office-room di-
verted from their normal earning
the bill Is SO big that you are appalled,
at having to pay it. For you do pay
ii. 1t has all got to come out of you,
sooner or later, somewhere. There Is
no mysterious well-spring of money to
meet such expenditures. The eoun-
try pays.
Before the next Liberty loan cam
paign-and there VIII be next, and
next, if we don't want to be annexed
by Germany-suppose we face that
enormous BILL size it up fairly. and de-
eide that we can't afford it. Then let
every citizen become his own bond
seller All he has to do is to shout
at himself what the sellers of bonds
are shouting at him: that it's your
money or your life, these days, and
that those who, safe at home give
their money, have the easy end of the
load. You have TO lift yourself by
your own bootstraps, that's all. Try
it, It's an exhilarating exercise. and
far more dignlfied than being hoisted.
In England and France, You know,
they don't have 20 get up vaudeville
shows to sell their war bonds. The
Huns attend to all that-they give per-
formances on the roof.

chiIdren,s Clothes

There are many seryiceable frocks
of linen of heavy weave. For some
reason, some of the smart children's
outfitters have put out an unusual
number of linen frocks in yellow and
lavender; perhaps because these
colors are off the beaten track of
children's equipment. We must all
have grown a little weary of the in
cessant pink and blue conyentionally
selected for little girls u few years
and more ago. observes Paris fash
ion correspondent. 1t does seem lit
tie odd to put lavender on two-year-
old doesn't 1t? And yet one of the
most charming frocks recently shown
by a childrens dressmaker of note
was of white wolfe, with collars and
cuffs of violet organdie finished with
loose. coarse buttenholing

Luminous Golf Balls.

With the price of golf ball soaring
higher than the arc of its flight even
in a drive over trees, losing one has
become more than ever saddening
experience TO the golfer of moderate

hour nj the end of his day, sorne en-

devised "A golf ball which is luminous.

The officer jerlled the hat away from

The inside rim was stuffed with pa

A Suspicious
Character
By WILLIAM HAMILTON OSBORNE
OF The VigfL0nfeS

The other day in the city where
live there was patriotic parade. II
was announced that every patriot was
expected to uncover when the Stars
and Stripes swept by. During the
parade everybody did it.
/ Standing on the eurbstone was an
/ unkempt individual, with straggly hair
and wild, desperate eye, who kept
/ looking about him uneasily. when the
crowd pressed against him he hitehed
himself away, but he must have seen
/ the hats come off as the celors swept

was only half n block away, this man
lifted his hand but instead of remov-
ing his hat he drew it farther down
upon his head. His action was no.

The three men seized the offender
and laid violent hands upon his hat.
The man elung to it desperately,
throwing all his strength into his
grasp. Then a police officer forced
his way through the crowd.
"Officer," said one of the three men.

Chairman Johnson of the House Dis
trict committee for his remarks on
the floor with reference to the Pom

The House committee recomm ended
that the report be laid on the table.

for twenty minutes. This permission
was refused twice on objection from
Representative Garner of Texas and
Representative Gray of New Jersey.
On third request that he be allowed
ten minutes no objection was made
Mr.. johnson read prepared state
ment. Attention was called several
times to the fact that members could
not hear what was being said. A point
of order was raised by several mem
bers that the speaker was out of order

the Senate
Speaker Clark said that as he could
not hear what Representative john
son was discussing he could not rule,
but that the rule is that a member of
the House cannot discuss a United
States senator. either to criticise or
to compliment him. regarding what
he does in the Senate. but that any
thing he does outside of the Senate
may be discussed.
Representative Meeker of Missouri
raised the point of order, which was
sustained by the chair, that Repre-
sentative Johnson was out of order
in remark regarding the author of
the Senate anti-profiteering rent bill
