living through a cycle in a second.
Hopes one idea now was flight.
She started for the door.

CORN IN EGYPT,

While seated on the grand stand, /
gazed upon the style
And gorgeous wealth of Egypt, along
the mystic Nile.
When naughty Cleopatra arrived upon
the scene,
My heart beat fast with rapture; l
longed to meet this queen.
1 seemed to feel her kisses upon my
fevered brow,
And then-a voice cried loudly ::
Fresh peanuts. Get 'em now J"
Then came the Roman army-tall men
and prancing steeds-
The dancing girls so pretty in silks
and flashing beads.
Marc Antony, the hero, drew near to
Cleo's throne;
Her clever wiles enslaved him; his
heart became her own.
1 envied Marc, dear reader. But cen
these fond regrets
Were marred by cries Of "Candy,
cigars and cigarettes
All, soon the Roman legions would
battle to their death!
I waited for the climax; sat tense,
with bated breath.
I sensed the foe approaching, with lust
aroused to kill.
1 seemed to stand in Egypt; delightful
was the thrill!
Along the Nile rambled, and paused
upon the brink,
As some one shouted: "Thirsty?
They're cold. Hey! Have a
r'drinks!! = St 49,. p
The troops xattaekedS sthe city, the
rockets lit the sky;
The, army of our hero was quickly
forced to fly. ~,
The wealth of Cleopatra-Marc's
reputation, too
Like dreams were soon to vanish, ali,
very sad, but true.
Cold sweat was on my forehead, a
shudder seized my bones
A fellow bumped my elbow, and hol-
Tered: "Ice cream cones!"
The thought of Cleo's beauty will from
my mem'ry fade,
So, too, the gallant Romans, and all
the fuss they made.
I'll soon forget old Egypt, forget the
hero's fate.
Forget the din of battle, the war
'twixt love and hate.
One bitter recollection will through
the years be borne;
The guy who sold the peanuts step
ped square upon my corn!

FROM A CHILD's COMPLAINT.

Scientific magazines tell how J. d.
Dunlap invented the pneumatic rub
Der tire. His little child, riding in
baby carriage, objected to the
bumps of ordinary wheels. So ne
took rubber tubes, filled them with
water and fastened them to- the
wheels. Later he got the idea of
filling the tubes with air instead of
water. .,...
From this came the pneumatic tire
used on autos and bicycles.
Big services to humanity usually
result from attempts to make life
happier for a near relative or friend
Of the inventor. Love-service-is
the mother of more inventions than
necessity or Observation-Disclosures

George said.
He warned the government, how
ever, that it must remedy evils in
the existing system if 1t wants TO
prevent the workers from taking up
disastrous experiments.
Appointment of a parliamentary
commission to inquire into the cause
Of discomfort and outline methods

by the former premier.
"The Situation is most grave" he
said.
Too much hope not be placed in

world prosperity. It is believed to
be Mr.. McAdoo's view that they can
be expanded at home by better trans
portation and more economical
transportation whereby the farmer
could send his products to greater
distances and reach a larger area
of consumers.
To enable the farmer to sell to
more people in more places and to
enable him to sell through better
and more profitable cooperative
methods-such would be, presun1-
ably, a large feature Of the McAdoo
agricultural policy.
For him the transportation Ques.
ton, the agricultural question, and
the foreign affairs question, are all
tied together. He Is much given
to pointing ont the relationship be-
tween all great public questions
and the need Of dealing with them
as one logical whole.
These views, which have long
been characteristic Of him. he de-
clined today to put into any public
statement, but smilingly said that
he could not prevent any CORE
spondent from examining his record.
In addition to his record, how
ever, it is clear to this correspond.

Decatur Heights Citizens Aim
to Campaign for Boulevard
of 24 Feet.

INTERNATIONAL. NEWS REEL

EVANSVILLE, Md, July IT,
If a campaign soon to be under
taken by the Decatur Heights Citi-
zens Association is successful, the
Washington Baltimore boulevard
from Bladensburg to the District
line will be widened about twenty
four feet.
The boulevard from the District
line to Fifteenth and H streets
northeast, Washington, when the
improvements now in progress are
completed, will be twenty feet wide
on each side of the parking. In
order to round out a good approach
to the capital, improvement of the
BladensburgD District line stretch is
necessary, it is argued.
A brisk fight for the Republican
nomination for States attorney ap-
pears probable. Although none has
made known his position, it is
understood that pressure is being
brought by friends to induce James
p. Curley, editor of the Laurel
Leader; Arthur Keefer, Of Brent
wood, corporation counsel for
Brentwood. and George B. Merrick
Of Upper Marlboro, son of the late
Judge George c. Merrick. of the
Seventh judicial circuit and a
former member of the house of
delegates, to enter the lists for the
nomination.

The sixth son of the former

Thus the six sons Of the former

Some dispatches which he said were

Adoo has not joined the long list
of repentant or renegade progress
sives, He remains now in the
same spirit in which he was IN
1912 with only the shift that comes
from applying that spirit to new
issues.
Arriving in Washington late yes
terday afternoon, Mr.. McAdoo at
once went for the evening ard
for the night to the house OF Mr..
w. Jett Lauck, the learned statisti-
clan who rose to national fame
on the mounds of facts which he
gathered on behalf Of the railroad
trade unions. :.
Mr.. McAdoo declared himself
ready to step into the ring today
at the trial of Charles w. Morse
and to answer all questions from
either side with equal dispatch.
He did not seem in any degree en-
harrassed or dispirlted by the pros
nective oss-examination which

upon as the thing by means Ot
which they would see his political
ruin. ,..

financial relations with Charles w.
Morse would be brought to light
~
and that as soon as they we're thus
revealed they would blast and
blight Mr.. McAdoo first into public
obloquy and then into public
oblivion.
Not Worried Over Outlook.
Mr.. McAdoo last night and this
morning gave no signs Of being the
carrier of any such inward guilt and
outward coming gloom for himself.
On the contrary, he seemed full OF
easy peace for himself and full of
confident aggressiVeness toward any
fight that might be in store for him.
Outdoor western life has put q lot
Of fire into his eyes, which seem Of
an even darker and deeper blue than

laugh he today was remarked to be
more like a healthy cowboy come
to town for a good time than like a
New York lawyer summoned here to
give testimony regarding intricate
transactions which his enemies hope
will slaughter mis- reputation and his
future.
He serenely turns from the Morse
trial to public questions and
among such questions he seems
still to have a special interest in
railroad transportation. He has al
ways regarded that question as one
of the chief keys to solution of
the problem which today is the
main perplexity Of the politicians Of
both political parties-the problem,
namely, Of agriculture and Of the
present western agricultural de-
preston.
