ALAS. POOR NELLIE.

You remember her of course. Nellie. the Beauti-
full Cloak Model, whom the villain always pursued.
She was the heroine Of the melodramas of you-
early youth. You her from the far seats Of the
gallery she upheld the stage and real tradition
that in the end virtue triumphs
You gasped in terror when she bound before
whirling saws when she leaped from windows of
burning buildings when she was thrown before
moving trains. always in the fear that the hero
would arrive On time although you knew he
would.
Well It's sad. sad The villain has got Nellie
after all
At any rate. cloak models gone. The Fashion
Art League has a million dollars worth OF clothes
over in Chicago. waiting for Nellie to wear them
bat Nellie can't be found.
An abb for the villain Is offered by an imported
York model who declares that it costs too much
be beautiful these days and that Nellies job OF
model is too occasional or seasonal to
girls She figures that the outlay with beauty par
lors is least $40 a week and that the salaries
won't stand the strain.
Perhaps that's the explanation of why the fash
ion people are frantically signaling for models But
somehow or other. the fear always there thai
that villain would get Nellie. sometime.

IgN 'BertOnBraleys Daily Poem
~ That's How II Isl

I started to sing an adventurous
thing,
A song with a glorious beat and
swing,
But somebody said with a shake
Of his head,
"It may be the fact will bore you,
But your song is one-though the
truth may sting
That Kipling wrote before you!'
So I started to sing a romantical
thing
With a note Of love and a thrill of
spring,
But somebody spoke with a rau-
cOus croak,
II truly don't want TO score you,
But Keats and Shelley and quite a
string
OF poet fellows have had a fling
At that sort of thing before you!"

SINISTER Factors |
SEEN BAR TO SHIPS.
Underwood Cites Hindrances
to U. S. VesseIs-Accoun
ing for Board o. KID.

"Sinister influences have been at
work in America for more than one
hundred years to keep American ships
from the seas" Senator Underwood,
democrat, Alabama, declared today
during debate on a resolution by Sem
ator Poindexter. republican. Washing
ton, calling for a complete account
ing from the Shipping Board and the
Emergency Fleet Corporation. The
resolution was adopted without dis
Senting vote.
Referring to various charges made
against the Shipping Board "in the
and elsewhere" since the
war, Senator Underwood declared it
was unjust to the American people
to allow the board to be made the
battledoor and shuttlecock for the
people who want to destroy the
American merchant marine"
Investigation Urged.
1--WE should have a thorough inves-
tigation," the democratic senator con-
tinued; elf anything is wrong we
should clear the decks and then give
a helping hand in getting things
Strengthened out"
Specifically. Senator Poindexter's
resolution would require the board
TO report as to the debts owed by it
and the fleet corporation; the money
available to pay those debts; the to-
tai of claims pending against the
board and unsettled and the number
of claims investigated and allowed.
In presenting the resolution, Sena-
tor PoindeXter charged that there
existed "a situation of the rankest
kind of fraud" on the people of the
country. who had accounts with the
board. He said constituents of his
were ihVoived, and that when he had
made inquiry of Chairman Lasker as
to what was going to be done to set
tie the accounts he had been inform
ed that the debts Were not those of
the chairman, but of the board, and
that the chairman wasn't going to
do anything about them.''
Senator Borah, republican. Idano,
offered. but later withdrew, an amend
ment requiring the board to report
as to the number of officers and Off
cials and salaried employees on the
rolls and the salaries paid. He said
he would offer this later as a sep
arate resolution, adding that the sit
uat:on with regard 10 the board was
exceedingly unfortunate STILL
Il am inclined to feel" Sena tor
Rorah continued, that the board is
not carrying out our policy of econ
omy promised to the country"

BILL TO Be PUSHED
Measure Seeking Increase in
Salaries of ST, 100000 May
Come Up Tuesday.

House Leader Mondell today an
nounced that tomorrow he will ask
unanimous consent to make the Lam
pert bill which proposes to increase
the salaries and establish a more eff
cient force in the patent office be
made the special order of business on
Tuesday next. This bill is substan-
TALLY the same as regards salaries
and the number of employees as other
bills which have twice passed the
House during the Sixty-sixth Con-
gress.
This measure proposes to increase
the force by forty-eight and the sal
aries S1,500,200.
Bill Has Wire Support.
This measure has been urged by
representatives of the largest manu-
featuring and scientific societies in
the country and by associations of
business leaders.
The report on this measure shows
that during 1920 142 clerks resigned.
In sixteen and a half months 110 ex-
aminers resigned, and in thirty-two
months 231 examiners resigned.
which is more than one-half the force.
Their places had to be filled by in
experienced men, with the result that
the patent office has fallen behind in
with its work There are now
nearly $4,000 applications awaiting
official action.
Calls for More Examiners.
The bill provides for an increase of
one more examiner and twenty six
assistant examiners 1t also provides
an increase of twenty-five clerks.
Since 1918, Representative Lampert
points out. the work has increased
over 40 per cent. while the force has
increased 51a per cent during the same
period. Emphasis is laid on the fact
that this will not mean any increase
in expenditure to the taxpayers: be
cause the increase in fees and the
work accomplished will more than pay
the increased appropriation desired
Representative Lampert in his re.
port to the House says: ''The present
bill is absolutely necessary to lift
the patent office out of it's present
helpless condition; that its predeces-
sor was known all over the indus
trial sections of the country as the
Nolan 1ife-saving' bill
