''SOme More Amendments"
BY Ring W. Lardner.

~ o the editor: Well, suppose
you read in the papers where the
kiddies Of the U. S. supreme court
L put their o. K. on the 19ti amend
ment which allows the women folks
to vote though 1t don't necessarily
mean that their votes will half to be
counted, but any way the 18th amend
ment has been made legal and tender
SO now everybody in congress is
scratching their brains to figure out
what the goth amendment will be as
1t don't seem hardly right to leave the
constitution run along or 3 months
without plastering a new amendment
on to 1t.
Besides which the boys is all jeal-
Gus Of Volstead on acct. of the pub
licity he Got out of No. IS, so they
are trying to figure out a new one
that they can slap their name on and
get their name before the public, and
in order to do that the amendment
will half to be one that will create
a sensation and get people to talk
ing about the author.
My Washington correspondent is
hSSpiae ahS pootSo ou the
in the capital and he is on the inside
for months unless they leave him
out for good behavior. but any way
I heard through him that several con-
gressmen is all ready with their ideas
for the new amendment and will
spring same as soon as called on and
the one that congress thinks will do
the most people the least good, why
they will adopt it and make it the
goth amendment to the constitution
Of the U. S. states.
A ND / am also in a position to give
my readers the outlines OF some
Of the different amendments that will
be offered and the names of the au-
thors Of same, but will not make no
predictions in regards to which one
congress will pick out as the worst
and adopt it.
Representative from Texas will in
troduce an amendment providing for
all fiappers between the age of IA
and 81 to keep their galoshes buckled
between 2 pm. and midnight dureing
the summer months.

fair practice which is all in favor of
the women folks because II they
want a man to kiss them he don't
dast refuse but a man can't kiss a
woman without she wants him 70,
or if he does he is libel to be sewed
for $4,000 damages but you never
heard of a woman getting sewed
by man because she kissed him.
Representative from Pennsylvania
who is known as the courageous con-
gresham has got an amendment
which would compel members OF con-
gress to learn to read and write.
Representative from Oregon sug-
gests an amendment which would
to remind them that they amt single
and also to wear a Identification tag
so as when they come home their
wife will know who it is.
REPRESENTATIVE from Indiana
~ has got an amendment to stand
ardize the names of meals. He says
that in most places the noon meal is
called dinner and the evening meal
is called supper, but they's some dis
tricts where the noon meal is re-
ferred to as lunch and the evening
meal as supper and the result is that
when a man is visiting some other
town and they ask you to come to
dinner you are libel to get there
hours too soon and half to amuse the
hostess children.
Representative from Mississippi is
the father of a scheme to speed up
railway trains by compelling every
body to ride in a upper berth so their
weight won't be SO close to the rails
and cause friction.
Representative from Maryland
wants an amendment which will per-
init a person to start a charge acct.
with the street car company so as
when you are all bundled up in win
ter time you won't half to undress to
get hold of a nickel
Representative from Idaho wants
an amendment to stop the practice of
makeing people hold their refresh
ments in their lap at a party.
Personally I Of Long Island would
like to see them pass an amendment
which will remove whiskers without
shaveing but whatever one they pick
out. our country may she always be
right irregardless of congress.

conversation and then leisurely

Once again I was on the alert and

reached MAZDA Vale and. branching
suddenly to the left, went up Shir-

~OL A. E. B. STEPHENS who rep
" resents the second Ohio district in
Congress, has won the affection of
one Thomas H. GARDINER in Watts.
Calf, whom he has never seen, and
who writes to him regularly. making
at least two suggestions a week re-
garding matters that he thinks Con-
gress should enact into law. One Of
the recent proposals was that Con-
Rress should declare all liquor con-
tanning more than n OF / per cent
stealable property, and that the
owner could recover the same only
by stealing it back again. As Col.
Stephens own cellar is depleted, he
had no personal interest in this sug-
gestion. but lent a very sympathetic
attention. Another suggestion made
by Mr.. Gardiner was to prohibit any
one owning more than 1000 acres of
land These letters are all written

made it possible to report this bonus
bill" Then he explains that the re-
publican members Of the ways and

early and late for days and weeks,
and all proposals were being voted
down or vigorously opposed. Finally
late one afternoon Representative
Bowers suggested that the cash pay
ment feature be eliminated, that the
government undertake to make no

years, and that in the meantime
banks should be authorized to make
