Stories That Recall Others
Never Again.

NeYer Again.
 Mother had been finding it increasing ly difficult to persuade her little daugh- ter to say her prayers as she wen. to bed. Each evening the little girl gave the excuse that she was "too tired.'
 An automobile ride had been on the usual evening program and the aangn- ter locked forward 10 it.
 .We are hot going riding t5nlght, the mother said one day. You vii be loo tired to say your prayers"
 That had the desired effect. Never again was the ''too tired" excuse heard. When Truth Was Better Than Fiction.
 The family objected to 19-year-old Emily having John for a beau, and she resorted to strategy. The other evening when John brought her home she dec,d- ed to say nothing of It and keep peace in the family. But the mother began questioning her about the parry, etc, at the breakfast table.
 She ended the quiz with this question Who brought you home. dear?'
 q came in taxi" was the answer.
 Silence for g few minutes and then Ter older sister burst into tears "Oh Emily" she sobbed. "I J.dnt think 3 sister of mine would ever stoop so low as to kiss a strange taxi dr:Eer good night"
 Then was when the truth was told and the whole family, deciding it was bette: than fiction, made no more objections tc John.

When President Harding takes occa- 6on to compliment Leader Mondell n the lower house of congress for his ser vice. and refers to the fact that the leg isiation that has been passed by the s7th congress has in ali probability not been exceeded in importance by any oeher congress. it is a declara+ion that can be readily accepted. The responsi- bilities that were placed upon this con sress were tremendous. It was an un- usual time, there were big problems to be solved and conditions which needed correcting. But duty wasn't shirked and to large extent the program that was outlined at the oPening has been care fully followed
 Well does he direct attention to the manner in which the war debt has been tackled and reduced. the way in which extraysgance in expenditures has been checked and the highly successful man ner in which our financial problems have been faced and solved.
 The confidence that he shows in the provisions of the new tariff bill which provides for the readiustment of rates within a certain limit after investigation by the tariff commission is warranted When he declares that he believes 'that by inzugurating this policy of hexIbil- ity and elasticity we have set an exam pie which the commercial world will ac- cept as truly constructive foundation on which to rest our commercial policy, 1t is putting in other words what he has already held to be the greatest contrib utiop toward progress in tarif making in a century.
 Through this tarir provision the ma chinery fer getting the tariff on g scien ttac basis has been set in motion. Ther' Is not only the commission, but it vii be expec4ed to function and such recdm mendations as it makes will be snRjec to presidential action in an effort t keep the tariff at a point where it jfbe with readjusting world conditions. I should make the tariff cgnmissi9n meal more than it ever has before.
 Congress has worked under som handicaps. There are times when it ha had to be prodded but when weighed fo its accomptishments t has turned out mighty volume of work toTching a wid rszEe of national interest.

FAMOUS MUSICIANS
Beach,


 It is a long step from the days of old Europe to America in music, as well IS in progress, and there is a vastly differ ent story to be told of Mrs. H. H. A. Beach, called "thea foremost American woman composer" as compared with the rollnking old fellows who began wooing musical muses at the cradle and struggled to the front aga'pst all sorts of opposition.
 The scene changes completely. Gone arS the Wassail boards, the court sub serviency, and all of the comic opera setting of the other notable instances. a duke, one finds a neat, refined New England home as the starting place ot Mrs. Beach. She was Amy Marcy Che ney. In the home at Henniker, N. H., where she was born Sept ,. 1887, a very talented mother presided from infancy over the education of the girl. Her marked musical talent was given every encoura cement, and the mother, herself musical, provided her, with every attrib- ute to study. And yet, there is a strange feature to her case as compared with those oi the master musicians of the old world perhaps it is typical of the American mind and it's ability to learn from whit ten instruction.
 My instruction in orchestration, com position, counterpoise and fugue," she wrote to friend, Twas acquired alons without a teacher, through the faithfu study of standard treatises'
 Many of these she translated herself from foreign tongues. But she supple. mented this painstaking study by latel training with conpetent instructors Very few persons in any age attempl such a composition as the mass in E fla ! which she produced for solo, chorus, or. | chestra and organ.
 | The Handel and Haydn Society of Bos | ton first gave it Feb. T. 1892, and tn, composition at once stamped Mrs. Beacl as having reached high place in mus! cal life. The mass is divided in 10 part and the strong feature of the ensembl | lies in it's individuaIstic treatment o the subject.
 The cause of the American womal was yonng when the Worlds Fair cam along at Chicago in 1892. But even a that early date the women of the Ian felt that they must bring 10 the iron their greatest and Mrs. Beach was cali ed upon to write the "Jubilate" for tn dedication of the Womans building a the Chicago fair.
 Her last important work in the or
 
 in E minor, op. S2, which was given tn title of 1.-The Gaelic" When the Bosto Symphony brought it before the publi in 1896 it was hailed as the able outpu of a strikingly talented woman. For the violin, it may be said tha her chief composition is the Sonata 6. S4. In her various works lhe plan plays q large part and ill .hls field sh has given to the world vast number ( things which will five. Her efforts wer not confined to Instrumental compositio and the list of her songs, including iEt stacy" Sweetheart 'Thy Beauty Scottish Cradle Song" "Elle ct Moi the Hymn Of Trust and many othe, give unmistak evidence ot her rigl to be placed among the imnortals vii have taken from their brains -fantasis that might be preserved Tor other ger erations. i'es

From time to time judges have felt called upon to announce from the bench that they had become convinced that too much leniency had been used in cases where intoxicated drivers of auto. mobiles had been presented before them and as the result of their conclusions they had declared that henceforth the practice of handing out s1aps on the wrists would be replaced with different trsatment, and that jail sentences could be expected.
 What the effect of that is going to be depends upon how generally the plan IS adopted and how much emphasis is act ually rlaced upon it when such cases are up for decision. That it is called for is unprecedented. Sufficient ground for it is revealed by the action of the mo tor vehicles department of Massachu- setts in the month just gone when there were 1928 auto licenses revoked and of that number s24 were revoked because drivers were intoxicated. That repre- sents more than ten day, and when il Is realized that there were but 164 re. voked in September of last year for that reason, 1t Is evident that the practice is increasing or else more attention Is being given to enforcement.
 Throughout the list of highway dan gers there is no greater menace than the intoxicated driver. He makes the high. way not only perilous to himself snd those with him, but he makes it danger. ous for all other users. He has no re. spect for the rights of others. He is to 1 tally unmindful of regulations and hf has no thought of doing anything bu taking chances and speeding. One migh as well think of placing man under the influence of liquor in charge of To comotive.
 It is certainly time that determines measures were taken for the elimination of the intoxicated driver. The practic | will continue to grow as long as ther
 is the spirit of toleration. It is only b. 1 the handing out of punishment that vii
 discourage that there can be hope of re
 moving such mensce from the high
 ways. Protection and safety are not t | be obtained through leniency to such in
 dividuals.

 From the fact that they have voted the head of their organization out of of flee it doesn't appear that the railroad track and maintenance of way employees are pleased over the fact that he kept them out of the strike and indirectly because of such action has been able to get them small increase in pay.
 It is true that sentiment was pretty evenly divided on the point as to wheth- CT President Grable should be endorsed and kept in office, but the majority was slightly against him, and it is impessi- ble to look upon the result as other than a repudiation of his action.
 It is impossible to look upon the re- placement of Grable as other than rank ingratitude. That he listened to reason and failed to be swayed by the element which was for rushing into an pnjusti- fed strike is unmistakable. It was be. cause he relied upon rehearing of the organizations claims before the labor board and in all probability because he sensed the attitude of a strong minor. | ity, that he kept such employees at work Instead of being grateful for the fac. that they did not enter losing stril as did the shopmen, instead of appre- ciating the fact that they have had un- i interrupted employment instead oi months of unemployment and that new they are to get an increase in pay even though it is not all they asked they ar. resentful if we are to judge by the ma iority vote and do nor seem to take int consideration the plausible fact tha they are much better of today thar they would otherwise be but for Ora ble's actions

 T hardly think Hillman enjoyed it. I heard his explanation and it seemed to me he disliked every minute of the rock throwing because his first ex- perience told him he was likely to break a window"
 Yes, I gathered that from what he said" the mother agreed, but he went on playing just the same, Sometimes l lose all patience with Hilman, il you can think of some explanation that will give me sympathy for him, Susan please tell me what it is
 Even if it brings you up for critt | cism ?" Susan's eyes twinkled
 Yes" Mrs. Kent consented. "It may be if I can criticise myself I car understand Hillman better'' T remember that when you were much older than Hilman you were destructiv, in a far more serious way than he.
