Washington, Jan. 15.-Several days
delay in the senate is in prospect for
the S100,0OO,000 European relief ap-
preparation measure, passed by over
whelming vote Of the house.
This action was taken after the
reading of President Wilson's urgent
request and warning that Bolshevism
could be checked only by food.
The house measure was transmitted
to the senate and referred to the ap-
preparation committee Of which the
majority leader, Senator Martin, Dem.
Ocrat, Virginia, is chairman. 1t was
said no further action was planned
until additional information regarding
proposed disposition of the fund was
received. A request for this informa-

So HAttie stood on her front feet,
and then she knelt down while the
keeper got under her, and she got up
once more, very carefully stepping so
as not to hurt the keeper.
Then the children were allowed to

She held them in her trunk as she

said:
"Gracious, goodness, mercy me There

what the elephant was doing they
were highly amused.
They fed the other elephants. too.
but only when the keeper told them
they might, for they knew that giving
elephants or any animals all the food
they wanted was not being good to the
animals.
They didn't know how much food the
animals had already had, and they
might make them sick. And it's hard
to be a sick animal, for an animal
can't talk and tell people of his aches
and pains.
So they gave just what the keeper
told them they might, and they thanked
Hattie most politely for doing her
tricks for them, and as they thanked
her, Hattie once more knocked off the
Keepers hat, which the keeper said
means, "Good-by, children. Call
