A PITIFTI PERFORMANCE.

The Sixty-seventh Congress. which
convened in extraordinary session
April u. takes a recess after four
months of u1uddling. the net result

better economic conditions in the
United States. Much was expected

Congressmen rest from their weary

president signed the resolution, and
thoughtfuIiy pigeonholed it Then a
separate peace--and most cowardly
and ignoble peace it is-was secretly
Ancocted In Germany. The tariff and
revenue bills. which were TO revo-
lationize Industry and place the g.
100000 idle men back at the bench,
were sidetraclzed into their respective
committees. while the worthy Sena-
tors tinkered with them in the hopes
of seeing the works. The railroad
funding bill. which was TO give relief
10 the railroads. was placed aside with
yawn--it was too hot to worry about
such Affairs. especially when the golf
links called. and the fishes were biting
in the bays.
The President. when he read his
message TO Congress April IL, urged
the repeal OF the excess profits tax

He had been sorely tempted to yell

Of his voice the Bear family would
have left in a hurry. But he de-
cided that it was worth the loss Of
those berries just to see those Bears
and what they would do.
Il wouldn't have spoiled the fun

watched the twins playing with the
empty pail. They act just like a

He carefully tested the wind to see
from which way 1t was blowing. Then,
taking great care to make no noise,
he climbed down from his perch and
silently made his way around 10
that side Of the berry patch from
which the wind was blowing. All the
time he kept out of sight from the
berry patch. When he reached a
point from which the wind was blow
ing toward the berry patch ne swiftly

A "Iace fans" hat ornament will,
therefore, be a very smart trimming
for your fall hat Of duvetyne or vel
vet. Have one yard of four-inch
black lace plated. Cut the
lace into two equal pieces. Wire the
scalloped edge with very fine wire.
Join each piece with French seam.
Gather the straight edge of each
piece to form a fan. Cut a circle Of
cardboard two and half inches in
diameter. Cover 1t with the same
material az the facing Of your hat.
Tack the fans to the underside Of the
circle as shown. Your attractive
