THE OLD WOODEN TUB.
(Copyright.)

l like to get to thinking of the old
days that are gone,
When there were joys that never
more the world will look upon,
The days before inventors smoOthed
the little cares away
And made what seemed but luxu-
ries then. the joys of every day;
When bathrooms were exceptions,
and we got our weekly scrub
BY standing in the middle Of lit
tie wooden tub.
We had no rapid heaters, and no
blazing gas to burn,
We boiled the water on the stove,
and each one took his turn.
Sometimes to save expenses we
would use one tub for two.
The water brother Billy used, for me
would also do,
Although an extra kettle was grant
ed, admit,
On winter nights to freshen and to
warm it up a bit.
We carried water up the stairs In
buckets and in pals,
And sometimes splashed it on our
legs and rent the air with
walls,
But If the nights were very cold, by
closing every door
We were allowed to take our bath
upon the kitchen floor.
Beside the CHEEKY stove we stood
and gave ourselves a rub
In comfort most luxurious in that
old wooden tub.
But modern homes no more go
through that joyous weekly fun,
And through the sitting rooms at
night no half-dried children run ;
No little flying forms go past, too
swift to see their charms
With shirts and underwear and
things tucked underneath
their arms;
The homes so full of luxury now,
it's almost like club
| sometimes wish we could go back
to that old wooden tub.

When Buying Chairs Always
Figure on Getting Service

When people buy chairs it is good
idea to pick them for the purpose Of
being sat upon-that is the chairs.

and purchased chair is either an or
nament or mere space filler, observes
the Los Angeles Times At least lot
of them indicate no especial use or
comfort. And yet 1t is just as easy to
buy service and strength. Some of the
spindly things being shown hardly look
as if they would stand up under the

grown man is shown into the presence
of one of them he begins to wonder II
his accident insurance is paid up.

SEEKS NORMAL PRICES
Stable Rates and Big Production
Aim of Chamber.
Convention of the United States Com.
merce Body to Tackle Big
Job.

Washington, March 20.-Seeing in
increased production means of re-
storing normal business and price con-
ditions, the Chamber of Commerce Of
the United States, it is announced, will
make it's eighth annual meeting, to be
held in Atlantic City April q to 20,
an increased-production convention.
Every topic will be considered from
that viewpoint. The relation of gov
eminent to production will be taken
up, and under that heading will be
considered antitrust legislation and
taxation. Business of every kind is
declared to be keenly interested in
taxation, especially excess-profits taxes.
Another phase of the problem to be
discussed will be the part of the gov
eminent, the farmer and the business
man in increasing farm production.
Secretary Of Agriculture Meredith will
speak for the government. The rela-
ton Of labor to production will be APP
preached from both sides, the en-
ployee's viewpoint to be presented by
representative Of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor and the employers by
a business man. There will be group
meetings of each of several great divi-
sions of industry.

Doldrums Of oratory.
The ratification roll call came short
ly after six o'clock, following day
of listless oratory on the subject of
the covenant and the reservations.
The roll was called in tense silence,
with scores of persons in the crowded
galleries keeping tally.
Amidst the confusion that reigned
as soon as the defeat of the treaty was
announced by Senator Cummins, the
president pro tempore, Senator Lodge
offered his resolution to return the
treaty to the president and Senator
Hitchcock strongly objected.
Il hope" he said, "that this resoIu-
ton will be deferred for more mature
consideration. While the treaty re-
mains before. the senate there is still
chance of it's ratification, but once
it is sent to the president that chance
is removed. 1t seems to me that the
sincere friends Of the treaty ought to
be willing to defer action on this meas
ure tonight"
Senator Lodge retorted that the
time had come to end the proceedings
over the treaty.
1T seems to me-" Mr.. Lodge said,
that after year of discussion and
after the senate twice has failed to
ratify the treaty, the time has come to
end 1t. The hope of getting the neces-
sary votes to ratify it is groundless,
and we have no right to bring it
again before the senate and interfere
with other pressing public business.
/ feel that l have gone as far as !
can, and in justice to the country we
must notify the president that the
treaty cannot be ratified"
"It's Up to the White House."
Senator Lenroot, Wisconsin, support
ed the resolution.
ut is very evident" he said, that
the treaty cannot be ratified until The
president gives his consent. / believe,
therefore, that it should be sent back
to him. He can submit it again to the
senate at any time that he sees fit"
Several senators attempted to speak,
but their voices We're drowned out by
cries of "Vote! Vote!" of members
weary of the long treaty fight and
anxious to have it ended. The reso-
luton went to vote and was carried,
AZ to 81.
Senator Watson, Indiana, Republic
can, moved to table the motion. The
"mild reservationists" on this roll call
joined with the Democrats. The mo-
ton to table was lost, "a to 43.
Senator Robinson then moved to adj
journ. Shouts of mo, no" arose
from many parts Of the senate and
sion to settle the question. The mo-
senator's insisted on remaining in ses-
ton to adjourn was rejected, SO to AZ.
Chamber is Adjourned.
Senator Knox then moved to pro-
coed to the consideration of his reso-
luton declaring the war at an end.
Senator Lenroot said that while he
felt such a resolution should be
adopted within the very near future.
he would oppose taking 1T up imme-
diately.
Senator Lodge thereupon moved to
adjourn and the motion was carried
without a record vote.
