does not hesitate to say that a
supreme effort will be put forth at
the coming session of congress to
right palpable wrongs growing out
of the collection of these tolls.
Mr.: Reavis, speaking of the toll
question said that a plank in the
democratic national platform of 1912
declared unreservedly in favor Of
free tolls through the canal for
American coastwise ships. That no
sooner had President Wilson been
elected than he demanded that cofig-
ress repeal the free toll provision.
which was done, in direct defiance
of the national platform.

across my feverish day, scattering

And / would always secretly hope
my caller would develop into THE
man for me. And that there would
be q home for me like the darling
place you describe, where you and
Randy work together and dream OF
japanese tea gardens and nurseries.
Oh. my dear Joan, how my heart
cries for the real things. the things
that count. and last for ever-mar-
ried love. true companionship.- little
children. and home.

in search Of the road to these. What
have I got? Nothing but bubbles.

stantial bubbles. :. While you and

the use OF dreaming. Work is my
portion. Some women are born for
domestic lives and some must get
their domesticity by reflection. Busi-
ness success for me. Love. marriage
and motherhood for you.
By the time I'm fifty I'll have
