Enactment of the leg islation. however, would put an end, he contended, to the $50 O0.OO0 yearly loss the shipping board is sustaining in O. erating its vessels
 Pressed by Representative Davis, of Tennessee, a democratic member of the hiuse merchant marine committee, for an estimate of the probable cost of the ad- ministration's program, Mir. Lasker gave general totals with an explanation that experts would give details later.
 Suggesting that the chairmans esti- mate did not take into consideration indirect aids" provided for in the bill, MT. Davis asked what their money value would be.

CLOUD CHILDREN

l think of clouds as children of the sky; They have their moods as children do they cry, They laugh they romp, they roll and toss about One moment beautiful, then changing sulk and pout Sometimes, at morning, they come dropping in d Like children do-to beg that play begin Their feecy garments, worn in carefree way Show well their mood, to have holiday. They ddnce along the mornings open sky Play hideand-seek with comrades passing by; The friendly sun comes up to find them there, And, beamng, makes their playground douby fair. Yes, clouds have moods as children do-from joy They fly in reckless tantTum and destroy Things that to them no simple harm have done The widows house or her last hope-her son! like the dreamy sunset clouds the best When they, day-weaTy' anchor in the west
 think of them as something soft and warm, Unsk1ed in all the banditry of Storn- And then, sometimes the white clouds are nook The angels slip down into just to look Down in our hearts at closer range-a quest To see which child of us is happiest!
