The apostles remarks about women.

were falling fast on the meadow and
Miss Daisy's upturned face never once
looked toward her lover. She was
drinking the longed-for water and had
no time to notice poor Dan.
Ihe next morning after the rain
everything was so clean and fresh and
all the flowers were SO bright and
happy that Dan again spoke to Miss
Daisy of his love.
"Oh, the world Is so beautiful and
fresh this morning / cannot think of
anything else" replied Miss Daisy as
she fiirted the dewdrops from her
white skirt.
But Dan was not discouraged; he
still waited and hoped for his answer ::
but one morning poor Dan awoke with
head quite white. He had grown old
with waiting and his long, white locks
fiuttered In the breeze.
Then one day Miss Daisy grew tired
of the beauty around her. She cast
her eye toward her lover and, to her
horror, she saw he was quite bald. Not
even one spear of white hair was
there on his head a

funny you look. Why, you are old Mr.

ancient of feminine names-iielen
Its original root was "Helios," the
Greek sun-god who drove his heaven

and brightness.
Every language, practically. has
brought its distinguishing mark to
the original name, and Lenore is one

WILSON AND DANIELS BOTH GET
SOME BLAME IN SENATE
REPORTS.
SCORE and LAUD SIMS
MANY LIVES LOST BY DELAY
WHICH CAUSED WAR TO BE
PROLONGED.
Western Newspaper Union News Service

Washington, July 1S.-Widely con.
flicting views regarding direction of
the American navy during the early
months of the war were detailed in
Republican and Democratic reports
made public of the Senate naval com
mittee's investigation of controversies
between former Secretary Daniels and
Rear Admiral William Sims. The re-
ports constitute the last chapter in the
famous Sims-Daniels controversy of
May, 1920, precipitated by Rear Adj
miral Sims letter, sharply criticising
the Daniels war administration.
Mr.. Daniels, former President Will
son and Rear Admiral w. b. Benson,
former chief of operations, were
scored severely in the majority Repub-
lican report and highly praised in the
minority Democratic report. Admiral
Sims was commended by the majority
and assailed by the minority.
Senators Hale, Maine: Ball, Della
ware, and Keyes, New Hampshire,
signed the majority report, and Sen
atUrs Pittman, Nevada, and Trammell,
II loliNit, lle lnllOIlls.
The investigation dates from a year
ago, when during IL committee inquiry
of the admirars controversy with Mr..
Daniels over awards of distinguished
service decorations, letter the former
wrote to Mr.. Daniels, charging the
Navy Department with numerous dere-
lictiOnS was read into the record.
Admiral Sims was in Chief com
mand of naval operations overseas
during the war.
Admiral Sims principal charge that
administrative delays We're estimated
to have cost 100000 lives and $15,OOO,-
600 unnecessarily, was sustained as
follows by the majority:
1.-The conclusion seems inevitable
that had these delays in naval opera
tiOns not occurred the American ex-
peditionary forces might have brought
about an allied victory earlier than
they actually did"
The minority report described the
charge as ''monstrous and without
foundation" and added: "The evil
dence shows beyond a shadow of
doubt that the army was transported
abroad as fast as 1t was ready: that
the submarines did not sink our trans
ports and that munitions and supplies
for our army crossed the water in
ample volume at all times"

have meals with the family. but some
times 1t is customary for them to
eat after the family and this Is some
times matter of convenience, as
some member will be free to take
the nurses place at the patients bed
side while she is eating. On ocean
liners nurses in uniform do not eat
Mt the first table, but have their
meals In the general dining room at
the hours appointed for children and
their nurses. OF course, some young
women resent this, feeling themselves
quite the social equals. possibly the
superiors, of those who employ them,
but, If they have good sense, they
realize that they are suffering no real
indignity and that 1t Is the truly
professional spirit to accept condi-
tions as they find them.
