THE CAVE MAN RETURNS

(By Fred w. Burke.)
The cave man is returning.
We find him here and there;
He shuns our style of dressing,
He never cuts his hair
He never needs a plumber.
No gas bills come his way.
He has no iceman calling.
No fuel bills to pay.
He keeps no automobile.
He has no telephone.
He never gives a luncheon
And drinks his near" alone,
He pays no rent or taxes,
And never needs a shave.
He has no agents calling,
To show him how to save.
No screens are on his windows
To tempt the robber bold
4, He keeps nc costly ice box,
To keep his bottles cold.
He spends no cash for car fares
But lives at home content,
And has no cause to worry
About Il house for rent.
He never reads the papers
And does not care to vote;
lie never runs for Office,
SO, still retains his goat"
lie does not drinA nor gamble,
He does not smoke or chew,
How can we blame the cave man,
For what he does not do?
The cave man now is with us
And he has come to stay,
While scarcity of houses
And troubles rule the day.
He is a child Of Nature
BY Natures laws is here
TO show what comes TO mankind
When living is too dear.

Washington, ID. establishment
of peace by congressional resolution
reached its final stage when senate
and house republican conferees agreed
upon a compromise resolution which
they hope to have In President Har-
ding's hands late this week. The com
promise embodies the house plan or
declaring the state Of war with Ger
many and Austria at an end, and adds
the senate provisions reserving Amer
lean property and other rights.
The democratic conferees, Senator
Hitchcock, OF Nebraska, and Repre-
sentative Flood, of Virginia, called in
for the final conference after the re-
publicans had previously arranged
their compromise resolution, refused
to sign the report, and said that with
other democratic colleagues they
would oppose the republican plan to
the end. Overwhelming republican
majorities in both senate and house,
however, we're said TO leave no doubt
of adoption of the conference draft.
Action on the compromise resolu-
ton is planned in the house and In the
senate. The conference report was
presented to both bodies. Democratic
leaders on both sides said that the fin
al discussion would not be protracted
and the republicans said they hope to
have the peace measure sent to the
White House in expectation OF its sig
nature by the president before the
Fourth of July. satisfaction over the
compromise was expressed by both
senate and house republican leaders.

Depiores Administering Rebuke
to Flag Officer in Public.

Washington, June 27.-Rear Admiral
William S. Sims was publicly repri-
manded by Secretary Of the Navy
DENLY for his 'jackass" speech in
London.
The public reprimand will become
a part of the admiral's record. 1t
makes 1t plain that Admiral Sims
offense was all the more g%rievous be-
cause he once before has been public
~ ~repriInanded.
your rem0rks IN the occasion now
under discussion, therefore, constitute
a fragrant and deliberate disregard OF
specific Instructions" said Secretary
DENLY.
1.-THE department is not unmindful
Of your record and achievements as
an officer Of the navy" the reprimand
continues, but the conspicuous posi-
ton you now hold, coupled with the
fact that you previously offended in a
similar manner merely serves to add
to the gravity of your present Of
Tense.
1.-THE department deplores that 1t Is
necessary to rebuke q flag officer in
public, but you have made such action
unavoidable. The department eX-
presses its strong and unqualified dis
approval Of your conduct in having
again delivered a highly improper
speech in a foreign country and you
are hereby publicly reprimanded."
The admiral called at the White
House and spent five minutes with
President Harding. He explained that
It was "only q courtesy call"

HOUSE MEMBERS
CALL BIG CAUCUS
One Hundred New congressman
Rebel Against Methods
of Veterans.
MORE SPEED IS DEMANDED
Representative Ansorge Of New York
Heads Move TO Cut Rec Tape
Hope 90 End Delays in
Passing Vital Bills.

Washington, June 30.-Representa-
tive AnSorge OF New York issued n
statement asserting that the new Re
publican members of the house were
dissatisfied VITA the progress made by
congress at the present special SEES
sion and disclosing that he and ten
others had joined in Il call for q con
ference of approximately 100 new Re
publican members to discuss the stu
alton.
1--WE are not meeting in any spirit
of revolt said Mr.. Ansorge, adding
some Of the red tape and substitute
action for delay"
Mr.. AnSorge said none of the OBJ JcctS
for which congress was called into spe-
cial session had been accomplished.
Congress was called into special
session for certain definite purposes"
he said namely, for revision of the
cumbersome, unwieldy and inequitable
system of taxation. the passage of a
fair protective tariff and the passage
Of a peace resolution. None of these
objects has as yet been accomplished,
nor is there any definite promise as TO
when they will be.
Nearly three months have passed
since the calling Of the special session
and we want TO see action, spelled
with n capital A.
There are upward of n hundred
frSt-term Republicans in the house,
and they all feel as l do, that we have
not been permitted to make our intlu-
ence felt.
1--WE believe, with the Republican
party, that what is best for the coun-
try Is best for the party, and we want
TO impress that thought on some Of
the older members. Many of them
nave been here so long they seem to
have forgotten it.
1--WE have come more recently from
the people and our opinion should
have some weight. The seniority rule
can go too far. We feel that our dis
tricts have as much right to represen-
tation as has Uncle Joe CannOn'S.
This is not Il new thought. | have
talked ii over with new members and
they believe thata conferences from
time to time will serve a good pur-
pose"
Others who signed the call for the
conference are: Representative Funk,
Illinois; Clarke. New York knight,
Ohio; Hogan, New York AREN'T, Ne
vada; Beck, Wisconsin; Beedy, Maine;
Fem, Connecticut, and Lineberger,
California.

Polly Remembered Cyclone.

A. parrot, named Polly Langston, died recently at the age of fifty-three. A native of Missouri, Polly was feathered prodigy whose remarkable talents included many vocal and lin- guistic accomplishments, She could sing and talk in English as we'll as Spanish, her mother tongue; pray and sing several of the old familiar hymns, which she had picked up at church and social gatherings, besides having a wide repertOry of cOnversa- tional small talk" At one time, when the circus came to her local town, and Polly had poured forth her sage salutatiOns to the passing para ders, the attention of the late P. T. Barnum was attracted to her and large cash offer was made for her, but her owner could not be induced to part with her. She remembered to her passing hour an event of her early life when a cyclone wrecked the town and brought death to scores of the in- habitants. Polly survived by a mir acle, but for more than 40 years aft erwards whenever the dark clouds gathered she became so frantic with fear that 1t was necessary to put her where she would escape the lightnlng's flash and the roar of thun- der.
