white or of black lace, and they are
always welcome Good lace cannot go
out of fashion. Women of Judgment

never fail to appreciate it. SO styles
come and so, all of them interpreted
in laceS that make dresses of the most
enduring charm. An occasional season
finds colored laces an item of impor-

THE Bo8oLlNKs.

81 heard" said Mr. Bobolnk. "that
the Phoebe Birds had told their story
of how they like TO get acquainted
with people, and have people become
acquainted with them, and so they
sing their name or say their name
over and over again. But we would
like to tell people that we do the
same way. Wouldn't we like to do
that Mrs. Bobolink?"
Indeed we would said Mrs. Bob
olink. For If anyone does not know
our story it is time that they should
that is, of course. if they like to hear
the stories the birds have TO tell.
81 most certainly hope they do. for
the birds love to tell their stories and
have people care for them Birds
care for people, and so it is natural
that they like to have people care for
them.
THE only people birds don't care
for are for those who would hurt
them or take the eggs. 1t would be
too cruel for anyone to ever take our

brownish eggs these five eggs were !!
And what nice little Bobolinks they
became
"Why, II would be as cruel to do
that as it would be to put a sharp
sword through Mother Bcbolink's
heart.
1T would be cruel If people took
little babies out of their steering bas-
kets or cots and took them off just
to see what color eyes they had and
how big they were, and a few little
facts like that.
ut would be so cruel a thing to do.

more by hearing them sing and by

Farmers Federal Tax league.
One bill imposes a tax of per

900, after exempting buildings and i'm
pr0vements, and in the case of farms
the cost Of clearing and draining and
maintenance of fertility. The exemp-
lions are So applied as to exempt from

links or other birds ran off with their

such things to bobolinks or other
birds. 1t isn't fair at all. 1t is very,

cruel.

subject, though it was l who started

you started to speak of-how the
Phoebe Birds told their story of how
they liked to get acquainted with

Phoebe birds told how they said
Phoebe, Phoebe over and over again
so people would know who they were.
And I'd Ike to have people know
that we say 'Bob-o-link, Bob-o-llnk'
over and over again to let them know
who we are.

NAVY YARD BEGINS
REDUCING FORCES
480 Employed to Be Dropped
by July 15-Pay
Cuts Also.

Cutting of the forces of the Wash
ington navy yard began today with
the laying of Of forty mechanics. to
be followed by a reduction by July
Is of approximately $50 employees.
This latter cut will affect both the
clerical and the mechanical forces. it
was said.
Not only were the employees Of the
yard facing a cut in their number,
but there was a decided reduction in
salaries. In all cases the bonuses
were cut off. and practically all of
the employees suffered a cut in salary
ranging from ~ cents to s1.36 day.
Lack of Funds Cause.
The cuts were made necessary. il
was explained. by the lowering of
the appropriations of the local navy
yard, which makes all Of the guns for
the ships of the Navy and for the
naval stations That tho cut will
hamper the work of the yard is GER
tain, it was explained.
There is enough work pending to
require an addition of one-third OF
the presept number of employees. OF
an increase of about 1900 employees
it was asserted.
The naval forces of the nation were
DeluS OpeTdlcu
without funds, and the indications
were that such a situation would con-
tinue until some time next week
Senate Is Unmoved.
Refusal of Senate leaders to accept
the big naval appropriation bill with
the reduction in appropriations and
other changes made by the House
caused a technical lapse in funds last
midnight. the beginning of the new
| fiscal year.
Despite this lapse. Senate leaders
! were in nowise inclined to accept
the measure as passed by the House,
and Chairman Pofndexter of the SEN
ate naval committee annouhced there
was no plan to call the matter up In
the Senate before the recess begin
. ming tonight and ending next Tues
day.
Senate leaders. moreover. said il
was not planned to rush through a
resolution continuing the appropria-
tions of the past year.
The lapse in funds. it was explained
was wholly technical. and no hard
, ships would be experienced by the
naval forces unless the deadlock were
prolonged.
