All Absentees Paired.
Both factions of the senate, which
had been in almost constant bitter
controversy over the resolution since
it was called up last Thursday, after
two former futile attempts during
the spring and summer, were ready
for the final issue Tuesday. The
maximum attendance of the senate
was mustered with all absentees
paired. Galleries filled early and
overfiowed as the final vote neared,
with women of the organizations
who have fought for and against
the resolution for years in reserved
sections.
No Demonstration.
While the final discussion pro
ceeded last minute polls and pleas
were made with the opposition
standing adamant. When the vote
was announced by Sen. Lewis OF Il

was no demonstration.
Miss Alice Paul, chairman OF the
national woman's party, issued this
statement on the vote:
This defeat is a temporary de
feat. The vote OF the United States
senate today we are convinced will
be reversed before this congress
ends. Our efforts to secure that re
versal will begin at once and will
continue until our victory in the
house is confirmed by victory in the

Chairman Jones announced after

THE DRAFTING OF scHWAB

Chicago Daily News: With Charles
M. Schwab occupying the post of
director general of shipbuilding, the
great task will have an overseer's eye
that does not quail before the stag
gering size of the problem thus pre-
sented. He has faced and solved
complexities more nearly like those
of the shipbuilding situation than
has any other man in this country.
Mr.. Schwab was drafted for this
duty and accepted it without a MUIR
muir, the responsible heads hitherto
in charge of shipbuilding having
sought him out and enlisted his eff
forts. Their action shows that spirit
of service and of self submergence
that is essential to the winning of
the war. There need be no emphasis
on his being asdollar.a year man.
The emphasis should be On Mr..
Schwab's understanding of the COM
mon man, on his blunt words and his
direct methods.

Secretary of Treasury MeAdoo urges
the purchasers Of Liberty loan bonds, of
both the first and second issues TO hold
fast to their bonds. They are the best
investment in the world. The secre-
tary s statement was called forth by the
fact that Liberty bond holders are be-
ing approached from time to time bv
agents seeking to induce them to part
with their Liberty loan bonds and take
IN exchange securities which in a num-
Der OF cases are of a very questionable
value, and was prompted by the desire
to protect the bondholders against i'll
advised disposition of their bonds Thu
secretary expresses the hope that every
purchaser Of Liberty bond will real

gives his government is keeping His
pond a. an investment SO long a. it j.
possible for him to do so. He states
however, that no just objection lies to
the sale of a Liberty bond where real
necessity exists for its sale.

BABY BEARS.

In the winter, at the start of the
new year." said Daddy, when Mother
Bear was sleeping and doing and
dreaming in her home back in the hole
of big rock, the little bears arrived.
There We're three babies and how
beautiful they We're, They were not
able to see the world for their ewes
were closed. They were black. like
their mother and so soft and furry and
round
They nestled up to their mother and
seemed to say, oh mother, what
would we do without you?' And the
mother loved them for their very help
lessness.
Five weeks went by before they
opened their eyes, and then what a
wonderful world they saw. They were
still in their cave home, for the cold
weather had not passed and Mother
Black Bear was going to take no
chances with her babies.
They could not really walk at all
Every time they tried to walk a little.
they fell down. They did not know
how to balance themselves and their
legs didn't seem to be able to hold
them up.
but each day they tried little
more, and Mother Bear helped them,
for she had no intention of taking
them out of the cave until ,hey could
walk.
And in the cave she told them in
sleepy tones, for she was so very
sleepy, of all the things they must
guard against when they went out into
the world.
The babies too were very sleepy
and they only had these lessons now
and again, for the sleep was making
them strong, and their mother had
eaten enough in the fall to do for the
winter for herself and for her babies
rs well.
Baby bears" the mother gruntcd.
and now they looked at her out of their
baby eyes and seemed to say,
would anyone ever hurt you? And
would we ever hurt anyone? Oh no.
We love to romp and sleep and eat.
Nv N'Ni'i lltNNi w WIFI anu Huut.
But of course the mother knew bet
ter 80 she told them stories of adven-
lures she had had.
'She taught them of the berries they
must cat and of the things which
would make them feel well and strong.
She also told them Of the bad things
they must not touch-the things
which would make their little tummies
feel very miserable indeed and which
would make them quite, quite sick.
And when, at last, they went out
of the cave, and saw the real world.
the trees and the forest paths, they
wanted TO start off at once for adven-
lures, for the world looked so mystic
rious and wondrous.
~But Mother Bear would not let
them start out alone though suddenly

Do You want to leave your old
mother? the black bear asked.
We love you, mother, but we want
TO see the world they said.
''And they would have escaped that
moment and gone off. but Mother Bear
saved them from the big mans gun.
Bang, went the gun. and Mother Bear
received a slight wound.
THE baby bears were around her
In a flash. but mother bear was safe
for the man with the gun had hurried
ly gone when he had seen how near the
old bear was. And he had seen her
teeth and had almost been able to feel
them,
And the babies knew their teeth
would never have done. They. too, had
had glimpse of their mothers anger
and their mothers strength.
"And as they licked the wound they
said.
1--WE won't leave you mother bear
We don't know the world as yet
And Mother Black Bear groaned
with the hurt from the slight wound
in her shoulder, but still more she
grunted with pleasure for her babies
had seen that they still needed their
mother
"And oh, Mother Black Bear did love
her little mischievous black babies.
and She was even glad or her wound
for it showed the cubs their teeth
would never have frightened anyone
away. and that they still needed their
mother in this big world where all
creatures struggled so to live"
