HER "FRAME-UP" ON DOLLY
Small Girl Had Learned Early in Life
That There Are Times to Dodge
Responsibility.

The conversation in the lobby of a
Washington hotel turned to the subject
of lodging responsibility. when this
anecdote was fittingly related by Rep
resentative Frank ID. Scott of Mich
igan:
"Some time since a fond mother re-
turned from an Afternoon call and found
her five-year-old daughter huddled up
in big armchair, crying bitterly.
"Why, Bessie" exclaimed the moth
er, taking the little one in her arms,
''what in the world is the matter?"
"Somefin dwelful has happened"
sobbed the youngster, nesting closer
TO her mother, IL"
That's all right. darling" coaxingly
responded the mother. Tell me all
about it,"
1T was my dolly" was the fearful
explanation of Bessie. "She dot away
from me and breaked dish in the
pantry"

AS she is Spoke.

American tourists who are shaky as

barrassed by the voluble replies which
their carefully studied phrases bring
forth from French lips. Just now the

the fluent American vernacular. An ex-

Order Is CaIamitous,
New York Publishers
Wire the President

The following telegram WAS sent to
President Wilson last Wednesday,
night by newspaper publishers III this
city:
"To Woodrow Wilson, President Of the
United States. Washington, d. c.
"We, the undersigned New York
newspapers. earnestly represent that
the order just issued by the Fuel Adj
ministrator is calamitous in its charac-
ter and unnecessary under the fast i'm
proving conditions. 1t Will dislocate
industry, throw millions out of employ
ment and mporerish families who de-
pend upon daily wages A five day in
terrupton and ten Monday shutdowns
will wipe out their living margin. Why
not order five working days Of sixteen
hours on coal deliveries and mine pro-
Guction, SO bringing certain relief in
stead of destruction ?"
Comment of New York newspaper
representatives on the order follows:
DON {. SEITZ, business manager Of
"The World": "Not only is the order
confusing for the newspapers, it is in
credible insanity 1t will do more to
hurt the United States than anything
man should issue such an order. 1t
will paralyze industry in the entire in

the people if their wages are stopped
and they have no money with which to
buy either coal or other nccessaries?

Order Surprises Congress
Among members of Congress to-
nigh. the drastic curtalment Of in
dustry order fell as bombstell. Mem
bers anticipate an avalanche of pro-
testatioN from constituents tomorrow.
The exemption of certain "supcr-cs

conferred on state fuel administra-
tors, it was pointed out, will cause
difficulties which will doubtless event
TALLY ind their way to Washington in
the shape of loud complaints to mem
bcrs of Congress.
The general consensus Of members Of
Congress seems to be one of deprcca-
ton Of the necessity of such drastic
action in the face of the great need
for speeding up certain phases of the
war programme. Even Il tivc-day dis
continuance of operations in the larger
industrial establishments. it is antci-
pated, is bound to interfere greatly
with the orderly progress OF war work
and may cause the development OF
serious labor disturbances
Althought nothing in the order said
specifically that fuel might be used
by steel mills and blast furnaces dur
ing the tive-day period or holidays. the
exception made of industries which
might be put out of business if plants
were left unheated led to the belief
that this might apply to the mills.
The necessity Of keeping fires in blast
furnaces was pointed out tonight as
the reason for the assumption that
use Of fuel VIII be nermitted To theln
