Whereas, The present uncertainty

listing economic difficulties of Eu-
rope, this Congress is of opinion that
any artificial measures. of relief are

way to improve present conditions IS
to increase production, to pat ali end

move all restrictions on free exchange

Been down TO the art museum an

The bodies of ancient mumies an
the treasures of ancient kings
An some of the walls were lovely, but
some of the things weren't
much,
But all had a rail around 'em, and all
wore a sign don't touch"
Now maybe an art museum needs
guards an a warning sign
An the hands of the. folks should
paw over its treasures fine,
But noticed the rooms were chilly
with all the joys they hold
An in spite of the lovely pictures,
I'd say that the place is cold
An somehow / got to thinkin' of many

Which is kept like an art museum, an

They haven't rallied off their treas
ures or posted up signs or such
But all the children know it-there's
lot that they mustn't touch.
It's hands off the grand piano, keep
out of the finest chair,
Stay out of the stylish parlor, don't
run on the shiny stair,
You may look at the velvet curtains
which hang in the stately hall,
But always and ever remember, they're
not to be touched at all.
Don't touch'" for an art museum. is
proper enough, 1 know,
But my children's feet shall scamper
wherever they want to go,
And 1 want no rare possessions or a
joy which has cost so much,
From which l must bar the children
and tell them they mustn't
