I didn't see her often,
She didn't care for men.
Her ways were shy and timid.
Her name was Susy, then.
But now I find a difference,
She calls herself Susette,
Gone are the simple fashions.
She smokes Il cigarette.
She touches up her face a bit
And looks blase', somehow
much regret the chango, and yet
l see her oftener now.
a visit to the cemetery and a glance
at the epitaphs makes us wonder
where the wicked ones are buried.
Pessimists usually live for Iona
time. They hate to die because they
want to see if everything comes out as
badly as they expected.
The great American amateur spe.
cializes in two activities, home bru and
radio.
After all, one good thing about
these small mustaches is that they
don't droop,
John y. says he wants to live to be
100 because life is so full of interest. ."
Most men want to die for the same
reason; they get tired of paying it.

 .roaats action was taken entire ly en It's merits ss a separate prepe- sitien for the Shoals. 1t did net af- feet the future legislative program nor in any manner did 1t lessen tAe determination of that part of the House membership, friendly to Muscle Shoals, to have ths House vote on the Ford offer before congress finally hdJourns. We will continue our sf- forts unrelentingly to that eDd."
 Attention also was called by some democratic House members to the re- port submitted to the House this week by Representatives KeRrns, ropub- lican, Ohio, and signed by eight re- publican members of the military committee. That document, 1t was said. supposedly reflected the views of anti-Ford House members, but failed to influence their colleagues when they voted today to delay work in order not to interfere with the Ford tender.
 Some of the southern delegations interpret the vote on Mr. James amendment as a forecast of that which might be expected If the House voted at this session on the acceptance or rejection of Mir. Ford's proposal.

while immersed in the development of big business on tremendous scale, he was offered the office of minister of raw materials. His work in that capacity obtained extraordi- nary results. His organization all most nullified the allies blockade.
 It was not until after the war that tho actual food privations afflicted the people. The exactions and com plexities of bureaucratic life never appealed to him, and he was glad to plunge into the activities of the A. E. G. after peace had been declared. He dropped his chosen work with out murmur, however, when he was offered minister of reconstruction.
 Attended Conferences
 He held this post for several months but when the cabinet was reformed in October. 1921, his port folio was eliminated. Although not a member of the cabinet he repre- sented the German government sub seQuently In various economic con- ferences with the allies. He was ap- pointed foreign minister on Janu- ary 3l. taking the post that Chan cellor Wirth. had been temporarily filling, following the retirement of pr. Walter Simons.
 The accomplishment for which pr. Rathenau came into the greatest prominence while minister of recon struction was the agreement which he negotiated with Louis Loucheur, French minister of liberated regions, at Wiesbaden, last October, under which Germany has been paying a part of her separations to France in goods Instead of money.

No APPREHENSION AS TO SENATE'S= ATTITUDE
 Rx Associated Press

Washington, D. C., June 24- Neither republican nor democrats In the House interested in the Muscle Shoals properties appeared apprehen- sivei regarding the attitude of the Senate on the question of concurring in the amendment fixing October as the effective date for the ap propriation. While the Senate, pro- posed that the money should be made immediately available. they said there was no reason that body should in- sist on such a proviso.
 W. W. Mayo. chief engineer for Mir. Ford, announced after the final vote had been taken that 'it was a signal and significant victory"
 We have always thought" MT. Mayo said, If vote could be had on the Ford offer 1t would. be accepted The compliment to MT. Ford was all the more appreciated because many members voted to delay thewo and use of the appropriation when their constituents are interested in the appropriation being made immedi- ately available.
 Earlier Completion
 These members, however, showed their further confidence in MT. Ford in believing that the temporary delay will, in the end, contribute to the earlier completion, not only of the dam, but also will give the large ip- dustrial result promised by MT. Ford Above all other things the large ma jority was given because MT. James amendment allows for consideration of the Ford offer which will es- tablish 8 settled and permanent policy for Muscle Shoals. MT. Ford will always reme mber with sincere gratitude the compliment paid him

 oliver's Position
 Representative W. B. Oliver. in an impassioned speech, explained his at- titude by stating that If you pass this appropriation without an as surance of an opportunity to consider further policy, you will see that the Ford offer will be pigeon holed"
 There is no question but that the delegation was acting in accordance with its belief that in some mysteri- l ous manner tho Senate by approprf- ating money for the completion oi the dam had endangered the Ford proposition The delegation had seen gibbeering ghosts, the existence of which the most ardent pro-Ford ad- vocates in the Senate had mol dreamed. had, in other words, de. termined to release the ''bird in the hand" which Senators Underwood and Heflin had chosen, in the hope oi capturing within a few months, the two in the bush.

 of his family. including his four chill dren.
 William Rockefeller, reputed to be one of the worlds richest men, was l head of the Standard Oil company of New York from the time it was formed until 1911. Although some | what overshadowed by his brother,
 he nevertheless was regarded in WailI
 street as one of the keenest men of
 affairs in his generation. Although no official estimate has been placed
 on his fortune, he is reputed to have amassed between s100,000,000 and | s250, 1000, 900.
 While maintaining many of his di rectorships, MT. Rockefeller for the 1 shouldering his financial burdens on
 his two sons. His active participa-
 ton In business became gradually less and less since the condition of
 his health was brought dramatically before the reading public in 1912 and 1913. when the congressional investi-
 gation of the money trust" sought l his testimony.

1 the Ford offer this session of Con- gross, Even were the House to act 1t would be impossible to secure action by the Senate, 1t ia eontended. May Have E8IundeFed If that opinion Is justified, then tho delegation will have blundersd but, only to the extent of postponins months the resumption of work, de- laying the government in its plan to restore full prosperity to Alabama and eliminating the hope of hundreds of idle to secure immediate employ ment. It Is not believed that other dangers run by the delegation in not striking while the iron was hot will materialize.
 MT. Mann declared that the dele- gationN must accept full responsibil- ity for any untoward development Of the future, and he indicated that there might be such development. Representative Dempsey of New York significantly asked the delegation. Are you so sure of the House as to eliminate fear that sentiment might not change7"
 Danger that sentiment might change, however, is -minimized, it is believed, through the defeat of the amendment offered by Representative Huddleston of Alabama which would have made the money available not before January 1. While the Ala bama delegation supported this amendment, some of the members, 1t Is indicated tonight, are not deeply grieved that 1t was defeated. For should there be drastic change in sentiment as result of the congress sional elections, It could not find ex- precision by October 1, when Con gress, 1t is indicated, will not be in session.
 PrO-Eord Sentiment Strong
 As result of the fight in the House 1t is developed unmistakably that st least at this time the pro-Ford sem timent is remarkably strong. If 1t were possible to secure action it ia certain that the Ford offer, with Gorgas eliminated. would be accepted by the House. It is even possible that the House, by much closer vote. would accept the Ford offer with Gorgas included. While pro-Ford re- publicans of the present might not be pro-Ford after the election, the loss. 1t is estimated, will be more than balanced by an increase in the democratic strength.
 There Is another deduction which Is not So alluring. The House, it was indCated today, Is bitterly opposed to government ownership and oper- ation. Were the Senate, as result of that sentiment, reinforced by the sentiment against any development at Muscle Shoals, and against the Individuality of MT. Ford to send a government ownership bill to the House, the House, it is believed,
 would defeat it.
 But were the disagreement be- tween the two hoeses to become so acute as indefinitely to delay com pleted actions Wilson dam will be in course of further construction, with
 the certainty that despite political 1 bickerings, it will ultimately stand l forth as one of the wonders of the world. Delaying such an end will be the basis of any criticism that might be directed against the delega- ton for its gamble today against the
 uncertainties of the future.
