DENLY were disposed to let the matter
rest that would have been a convenient
stopping place. But he didn't. He IN
quired wherein Admiral Sims had been
incorrectly quoted and insisted also that
the admiral put in writing as well as he
could what he did say. In front OF the
secretary of the navy were newspaper
clippings showing that practically all the
London newspapers quoted Admiral SINS

was very little variation in phraseology
and none in meaning.

Mr.. DENLY could convokc a court of naval
inquiry or a court-martial and review
their findings, but he is loath to run
away from responsibility. He feels it is
his duty to the navy to handle the thing
himself and to mete out proper discipline
so that it shall not be said that an ensign
or enlisted man Is severely punished while
an admiral who breaks naval regulations
goes Scot-free.
There isn't anything personal in it.
Mr.. DENLY and Admiral Sims had a pleas

ness in a few words and the secretary
let Il be known that he wouldn't render

opportunity to answer the query as to
whether he had been correctly quoted.

London, which offended so many mems

secretary of the navy feels that be isn't

WANTS
TAX LEGISLATION
Urges Early Action on Revenue and
Tariff Bills-Tariff Bin
Nearly Ready

WASHINGTON, June 24-President
Harding took a hand In the legislative
program Yesterday in an effort to speed
mp enactment of tariff and tax legisla-
ton by calling Chairman Ferdney, of
the house ways and means committee
TO the White House to discuss the pos
slbllty OF early passage of such laws
Meanwhile, the suggestion was re-
newed in the senate by Senator Watson
OF Indiana. a Republican member of the
hnance committee, that tax revision be
placed ahead of tariff legislation. The
question gave leaders some trouble early
IN the extra session and its revival yes
terday made it appear that another eff
| fort would be attempted to subordinate
| tariff To taNatiO in the legislative pro-
gram. a.. -. ...- = .
Mr.. Fordney informed the president
| that the Republican committee draft of
| the permanent tariff BIN would be ready
| by Monday or Tuesday for considera-
4 ton OF the full committee. He did not
| Indicate how much time would be re-
| quired for consideration of the bill BY
| the whole committee membership. al
| though he explained that a caucus of
| house Republicans would be held before
| the bill Is Submitted formally to- the
house. .r.. @a.s --...
Senator Watson's suggestion led to
| floor statements bv half dozen ReBub-
| lican and Democratic senators that
they would support his proposal .s.
The country Is in the midst of an
| intense economic reaction from the
war; Senator Watson said. This is
not the fault of legislation. The coun-
| try can rest assured that both the tar
| itf and revenue bills viii pass, but my
own thought is that we cannot revive
business until we first repeal the excess
profits taxes and the higher surfaces
upon income.
These are Oppressive influences on
business, even though they are not to
be paid, because the business depression
will reduce their yield to the vanishing
| point. Tho situation condemns labor
to idlcness and the train of economic
4 woes"
Why look so ferceIy at Us Demo
cratsE" Senator Pomerone, Democrat,
Ohio, inquired.
4 was not looking fierceiy, but pity
| ingk,' said Senator Watson.
II am not cTiticising on blaming any
body. We can expect the general tariff
bill to be reported to the house within
10 days and To be enacted within three
weeks IL will take some time for the
tariff bill to get through the senate fl
nance committee, four or five weeks.
within that period we may expect
the house to pass the revenue bill and
that bill | hope TO see taken up. and
PASSED in the senate before the tariff
bill.
I'VE can formulate a tariff bin but
with the present disturbance OF inter
national exchange. the arrangement OF
economic life all over the globe, cundi

of any bill we bring out obsolete with
in six months. ON tho other hand if we
pass the revenue law. business will have
some reinsurance. 1t will know what

it has to carry Then we can take III

TUB SILK FROCK is POPULAR
Soft, Washable Fabric Among the Most
Charming for Wear During
the Summer.

Among the most charming of the
warm weather frocks shown this year
may be mentioned those made of soft,
washable silks. These silks come in
light colors, and more often than not
In Bingham patterns. Checks and
stripes of various widths are featured,
the background usually being white.
The material launders beautifully and
generally gives excellent service. The
tendency is to fashion the tub silk
frocks on somewhat tailored lines.
The regulation frock made of tub
silk in the checked pattern and piped
IN color to match the check, or if this
is color, such as blue, green or red,
a black piping may be used if pre-
ferred. The belt is of white kid
trimmed in bright colored or black pat
ent leather, and the shoes carry out
the same color scheme. A little vestee,
often of white knitted silk, organdie
Or other cotton material, is part of
the design.
Tub silk makes an ideal frock for
wear at home during the summer
months, as it is so soft that it does
not wrinkle at all and will stand a
good deal of wear without rebuilding.

Put up mo smoking signs about

them.
Ventilate the barn, but also see that
tight doors and windows are provided
against the invasion of sparks and
billiards..
If you have nothing to fight fire
with, get something If only bunch Of
buckets.
Do not put the we'll pump too close
to the barn-you may need that water
to save your property some night.
Get non-freezing pumps.
Know where the ak is, and have
two ladders on hand long enough to

Grow Flowers With Vegetables.

There is no reason why flowers and
vegetables should not be grown to-
gether. 1t is difficult to draw the line,
anyway. The dahlia, now one Of the
most popular flowers, was originally
planted with the intention of using
the tubers as potato substitute. The
scarlet runner bean, grown by the
acre on the farms of England is most
often used in America as climbing
vine around the house; in fact, there
are many persons not aware the beans
are good to eat.
The ideal garden is one which COM
bines flowers vegetables and fruit.
Such a garden should have place on
every farm and back of every sub
urban home. Oftentimes the vegetable
plot can be surrounded with border
planted on two sides with small fruit
like raspberries, currants gooseberries
and grapes, and on the other two sides
with annual and perennial flowers.

LACE IN BLACK AND WHITE

React From Dyed Laces.

Panels, loops or draperies that hang

many instances the length of the skirt

Laces lend themselves well to looped
effects, although they bring us to a
slightly different sort of evening
dress from the simple crepe de chine
things While the lines may be sim
liar and the draping done in much the
same way, the effect cannot fail to be
dissimilar, because the fabrics are so
unlike.
There is tendency to react from
