under a resolution ordered favorably
reported today by the house post
Office committee by vote Of 10 to
g. Chairman Moon announced that
he would present the measure in the.
house tomorrow and ask for a rule
to give it right Of way.
The resolution made no mention of
cable properties and that phase Of
the situation was not discussed at
the meeting of the committee. Mem
5bers later expressed varying opinions
asSto the effect of the legislation on
federal control Of those properties
which was assumed by presidential
PROCLAMATION last November under
ttIs authority given in the original
wire control legislation passed by
congress last July 16.
Chairman Moon said the new legis-
lation would not affect the original
law ip SO far as it applied to cable
properties, control Of which would
have to relinquished with the issuing
OF proclamation by the president
announcing the signing of the treaty
Of peace and its ratification. Other
members expressed a different view,
based upon the fact that the cable
properties were controlled by the
telegraph companies. They thought
control Of the, cables would. be auto
matically extended.
Various Date Suggested.
55i Various dates for termination Of
control Of the telephone and tele-
graph companies were suggested at
ter the committee had concluded its
hearings on the original administra-
tftion7measure by examining Postmas-
ter General Burleson. The first pro-
pesal was for restoration Of the pro-
perties to private management next
May 80, but this and another to ex-
tend the time to December 81, 1920,
were voted down. Il
q = : --...+ - D. L.
As introduced by Chairman Moon,
the resolution authorized the post
master general to negotiate con-
tracts for the purchase of telephone
companies and to have an appraise-
ment made of the telegraph proper
ties, but these provisions were strick-
en- out by the committee. Mr.. Bur-
Lesson and other proponents Of the
Legislation insisted that the purpose
was to extend the period of control
and not to bring about government
ownership. ~.
On the final vote as announced by
the committee, three Democrats join
ed with seven Republicans to end
the period of control on December
81 and seven Democrats and one Pro-
hibitionist opposed it, as they desir-
ed extension for longer period.
Mr.. Burleson favored a longer pc
riod of government control than next
@ocember 20, a date suggested while
/, he was before the committee. He
: said danger" would be that congress
would have been in session but a
month and declared that he regard
ed the question as lone Of great i'm
portance because manufacturers and
others must have 'tproper service" in
order to develop their business"

Weight and Given Up Hope.

Mr.. James R. Miller of Hartford
City was in the city on one of his trips
to see the Interstate Doctors from
whom he has been taking treatment,
and when asked about these special
lists. he became very enthusiastic, say
ing his first visit to their office in the
Starr building was the wisest move OF
his life.
He also handed in the following
statement Of his case and treatment
so his friends may know where he re-
ceived such skillful attention.

get no relief and no satisfaction as to
what allied me till l called on you last
January. Before coming to you l had
lost 20 pounds in weight. Practically
going to nothing Hadn't been able to
do any work for ten months. 1t seem
ed that death was my doom. I was
induced to visit you people last Janu-
airy and I went to you expecting my
case to be pronounced hopeless.
Your Doctor Culver gave me very
thorough examination and said | had
an enlarged liver and breaking down

had gone much longer it would have
resulted in general dropsy and death.

in my life and my friends think it
nothing short Of miracle how you
brought me out, and rest assured I

THE GREAT EVENT

"Well-all right" Mrs. Hargan con-
coded grudgingly. Il want Annie to
have all the good times she can. But
l can't see her gettin' married unless
it's to some man that's fixed in life
and is willing to give US helping
hand. And you don't find many men
that want to marry girls whole fam
lily. l don't see what's to become of
u.s.
Neither did Aunt Moggie. So she
kept silent.
1t was arranged that Bernie should
come to the house. Annie planned 1t
for Sunday SO she could have the
whole day to get ready in. First of
all, the fiat must be swept and garn-
ished, the kitchen scrubbed and the
soupy smell aired out. Then Armies
cot in the corner of the living room
had to be made to look like couch,
with an old shawl of Aunt Moggie's
spread over it.
The red-checked tablecloth had to
be washed and ironed and the worst
spots rubbed out of the drugget with
hot water and ammonia.
Then Annie busted everything and
thinned out the collection of broken
ornaments, medicine bottles, brushes
ana COMBS, Qalr rlDOOnS, collars anu
other odds and ends of small wear
that always graced the mantelpiece,
her mother protesting at intervals
that she didn't see any use in taking
so much trouble.
Annie did. however, and it was we'll
toward 5 o'clock, the hour of Bernie's
coming, when she had the children
heated up and herself washed and
dressed in a presentable frock.
She was very tired. And nervous
for fear her mother would be in one
Of her querulous moods, or the chill
dren-on tiptoe to see sisters caller
would make nuisances of themselves
as children of eleven and eight usually
can.
Bernie came at last, bringing long
stemmed yellow chrysanthemum nice
ly wrapped in tissue paper. He in
tended 1t for Annie. But Annie, for
diplomatic reasons. made her mother
| believe it was a delicate attention
shown her. Bernie, catching the tiny
deception and meeting Armies eyes
whispered Il getcha," as he slipped

past her to lay his hat on the couch.
Somehow it put them at ease, anu
things passed off not so badly. OF
course it was like Aunt Moggie to hap
pen in and take the children for a
walk. And after they had gone Mrs.
Hargan thawed enough to propose
that Annie make a cup of tea.
This helped matters still more, and
although the cups were cracked and
the saucers didn't match, and the
sugar was "a" sugar and lumpy, and
there was nothing but ginger snaps to
exc out, Annie felt glow of triumph
round her heart and was content.
She and Bernie went for a walk
afterward in Stuyvesant square and
sat on bench. They said little. But
the understanding that had run all
along like a subterranean stream
seemed stronger than ever When she
felt Bernie's arm go around the back
of the bench and touch her shoulder,
the same delicious thrill melted
through her that she had felt at the
Settlement House when Herbert Ira
Wis came into the room. Only this
was better. There was a realness, q
comfort in this-and a promise.
