SHOOTING STARS.

Wisdom Of the A1cients.

Vs.. Wisdom Of the Ancients.
We're often called on to admire
The ancient wits and sages
Who gave a touch Of classic fire
To literary pages.
And yet today if Shakespeare came
And tried to get book in
The modern publication game,
He wouldn't get look-in!
The lobbyist Of days gone by
Who told new jokes and treated
No longer seeks his trade to ply;
His ruin is completed.
II legislative halls he sought.
And tried to put a hook in
BY methods that his grandsire taught,
He wouldn't get a look-in.
A lot Of heroes long gone hence,
And villains, too, in numbers,
Could they live now. would soon go
hence,
Returning to their slumbers.
The old.time sleuth was shrewd enough
To run the old-time crook in.
Now each would seem a sorry bfuff.
They couldn't get a look-in.

The purpose is to formulate world

American delegates to the first annual

June, and also to get a vote on tariff
policy propositions which may be of as
manent tariff bill. Committees have for
some weeks been making an intensive
study of these general subjects, SO as to
make worthwhile reports at the foreign
commerce conclave in Atlantic City.
Because the position of the United

grave economic problems facing the
country today, it Is imperative that
there should be formed a greater concep-
ton of the part our foreign trade plays
in national industrial warfare and de-
velopment, in our shipping program
which was emphasized by President
Harding in his message to Congress.
