DOLLY MEETS THE IMP


Dolly had never seen croo'
Fairy. She didn't know that Fairie:
could be anything but pleasant un
til she came into the garden thi;
morning. There stood a little mar
no taller than your ittlest finger
Ny! but he looked cross.
Dolly waited a minute for him to
speak, and then, as he did not say
anything, she said:
"Good morning."
Morning" said the Little Man,
very ,huffily.
'Ts-er-a-is anything the mat
teri" asked Dolly.
"The matter! Do you see THAT?"
He pointed with finger as long as
the point of a lead pencil. THAT"
was another little man who was sit
ting on a plant nearby carelessly
swinging his legs. He looked very
saucy and "don't-care-ish."
"Yes," said Dolly. "Who-what
is he?"
"That is an Imp"
"An Imp is a PEST" said the
cross little man, in cross little voice.
Il am not" said the Imp.
"You are. And you are worse.
You are tramp and thief"
ooh, look here, old Teller, don't
call Names"
81 will. 1 will call you a worse
name than that. You are a murder
EFF not yourself, some of your
family are murderers."
"0h, how awful" said Dolly.
'I've got as much right in this gar
sen as you have" said the Imp, very |
~ now.
9'You have not. My family and
my friends were brought to this gar
fen and planted here. That old
ramp, your Grandfather Wind,
brought you here and scattered you
lbout among US. And now that you

Marine STRIKE ALONG
ATLANTIC COAST FIRM
Cooks, Stewards And Sailors
/. Out And Engineers Ready
/. To Quit.

New York, July Thames Furusoth.
president of the International Scamens
Union, was here today to investigate
the strike situation preparatory to re.
porting on conditions to the seamen Of
the Grea. Lakes and the Pacific coast.
Although one or two steamship own
crs were reported to have granted the
demands Of the seamen, the tieup ap-
parently was as complete as at any
time since the strike was called last
week.
With the cooks stewards and sailors
now on strike, the engineers on the
verge of going out and the order Of
the shipping board to dismiss strikers
effective, the water transportation sit
uation here and at other Atlantic coast
ports had reached critical stage.
As no embargo had been placed on
freight from inland points, the conges-
tion on wharyes and at railroad termin-
ais was increasing hourly and perish
able freight was spelling in large guam
titles.
To relieve the situation, at least TEN.
porarily, the shipping board last night
called for volunteers to man ships un-
der its control but 1t was admitted
that it would be difficult to get IL
censed men to take the places Of the
strikers The board offered to pay the
increased salary profferea he unions.
In is appeal the shipping board
strongly criticized the action Of the
men who quit ships provided to trans.
port cattle to France.
"The honor Of the government in its
with the French govern
ment is involved, said the beard. No
private corporation or person, either in
this country or in France, has any con
neciion with either the ships or the
cargoes.
Meetings were TO be held today by
steamship owners, marine workers and
shipping board members separately,
and later jointly.

DAYLIGHT SAVING TO
Be ATTACKED AGAIN
Republicans Determined To
Pass New Agricultural Bill
With Vetoed Rider.

Washington, July l7-(United Press)
"A fight between President Wilson
and congress over the question Of re.
pealing the daylight saving act seemed
assured today by the determination of
republicans, despite the failure of the
house to override the presidents 5 veto
of the repeater TO make another effort
to kill the law.
They have decided again to push
through congress the agricultural ap.
preparation bill, with the rider repeal.
ing the daylight saving plan. The only
difference in the rider the house agri-
culture committee was expected TO re-
port out today and the one The presi-
dent vetoed, is that the former exempts
from repeal the part Of the daylight
saving act establishing standard time
zones under the federal trade commits.
sion
The house rules committee was to be
asked for o rule to make the new bill
in order as soon as the presidents 5 veto
of the sundry civil bill was disposed Of.
The action of house republicans was the
result of a conference with senate lead
ers who criticized the lower body foi
sustaining the presidents s veto.
Daylight saving opponents have a
large majority in both houses, but no
votes have yet indicated the necessary
two.thirds to override the president S
veto. There is little doubt that the
president win veto the new measure.

Democrats, realizing the republicans

many leaders were urging that since the
representatives, from the country we're

daylight saving, the party must now
stand by the president, II is not con
sidered probable that the republicans
ean keep their ranks solid, as "A repub-
