CITES METHODS ABROAD

The time of federal Legislators is
. taken from the great questions OF
the country by the necessity of at
tending too many futile hearings on
minor and personal legislation, to the
neglect of that which is their pri-
mary conccrn-the nation--declared
! Representative Theodore L. Burton
. of Ohio in an address before the
! Washington Study yesterday, at 1874
T \ street.
There should be no greater ques-
tions for executives, Legislators and
private citizens just now than those
which concern the whole nation" said
i Representative Burton.
Representative Burton declared 'it
] is far better to enact laws which fill
the needs of the present than FISK
amendments to the Constitution for
, affecting today's problems and jeop-
:LrdizinS the great conception of the
/ fathers. We can de progressive with
out being deStructiNe.'
Contrast in Other Countries.
"The initiation of legiSlatio is freer
IN the United States than i'll any other
country in the world said Repre-
sentative Burton. He reviewed the
systems of government of Switzcr-
land, Germany. France. Russia, Japan
and England in this regard. and while
indorSnG the leadership Of the United
States he do pinrcd III" lack OF certain
judicial tribunals or commissions
which should handle most Of the
minor matters which now hamper and
delay Congress in consideration of
national business.
Representative Burton deplored the
lack Of easy and frequent commnnica-
tinn between the executive and legiS
lative branches of the federal govern
nlcnt. In England" he said where
the prime minister, literally the chief
executive. has Il seat in the house Of
lords or commons, and * is a first act
in the advancing of Legislation that
he submit to the questions that MEM
bers of that body may propose. There
is no lessening of the power of the
Legislative body in this. The making
or the refusal to make laws is still
in their hands. but the opportunity
of easily obtaining Information in
regard to measures urged by the
executive, on which he is necessarily
better informed than many of the
members. clears the road for better
understanding and prompt action"

 "Oh, dear, hope nothing's hap pened to Sonny" and there was real concern in her voice as she hastened downstairs.
 "What's the matter, Rosanna? she questioned, as she neared the door.
 Its the master. He's hurt" she answered while she directed the men to Rupert's room.
 "Oh, dear, dear," she exclaimed as rushing forward she realized that Ru- pert was unconscious. :.
 "The doctors coming right over," " said Mir. Turner, who was helping to carry Rupert.
 Rosanna, paying no attention to Mrs. Love, helped the men with their task. Rupert had been badly burned and a falling timber had stunned him and in- jured his arm. He was still upconsci- ous when Dr. Lang came swiftly to his bedside. With practised hand he quick ly dressed his wounds and he hurried away, gave a few necessary directions for his care. Mrs. Love immediately installed herself as nurse and an- nounce6 to Rosanna that she might re turn to the kitchen.

 And Witch Wiggles replied down the chimney, T can't see them anywhere !!
 So Witch Grundy banged the window shut and in few moments came up out on the chimney. Then she got be- hind Witch Wiggles on her flying broom and the two Witches sailed up in the air and away over the great forest.
 Now is our time. Let us hurry into the house ond rescue the Captain J" Raggedy Ann said and she reached up and opened the little window which the Witch had forgotten to lock. Rag gedy Andy climbed into the window and then pulled Raggedy Ann in after him.
 You had better go to the boat and wait for us!" he told old Mir. and Mrs. Granny. For if Witch Grundy re- turns and finds you inside here, she might work magic on you! We will be at the boat in few minutes!"

 So, finding lemonade spring close by, the Raggedys and Mir. and Mrs. Granny brought candy covered cookies from the magic cupboard in the boat end had nice picnic. If the little fat Captain had only been with them it would have been very, very nice.
 Then. when the sun went down and the moon came out. the Raggedys and the Grannys slipped to the little house and listened to find out if the Witch was asleep. II can hear her bustling about!' Raggedy Andy whispered. What in the world can she be doing
 Raggedy Andy did not have long to wait, for in few minutes, there was whistle up on the house top and looking up, our friends saw another Witch with long red nose sitting upon the chimney.
 When this Witch had whistled twice, Witch Grundy put her head out of the window and asked, "Oh. Witch Wiggles,

DECREASE IN TRAVEL
Slump In Tourist Patronage Attributed
 Partly To Motor Competition.

Reports from roads operating from Chicago to the Pacific coast and the national parks show that summer travel so far this year has been less than in 1923. The Chicago & Northwestern has experienced a decrease, except in it's special tours to Yellowstone Park, which have shown an increase of about I0 per cent. Travel on the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific to the Pacific coast has fallen off, while travel to Colorado has been approximately the same as last year.
 The Chicago, Burlington X Quincy has also experienced a decrease ill Pa cific coast and national park travel. The Chicago, Milwaukee X St. Paul re- ports traffic to the Pacific coast at the beginning of the year promised to ex- ceed that of last year, but in the sum- mer months fell to less than that of last year, while on August an increase in the number of passengers was noted. The reasons attributed for the decrease arc the cool weather conditions in the middle west, the territory from which the greater part of this travel is drawn and motor car competition. The num- Der of motor cars registered as arriving in the national parks this year has been greater than last year.

 Hoarse shouts reached her ears as the men struggled to save the stock, but many of the animals, terrified by the cracking of the flames and chok- ing with the dense smoke which came from the smouldering hay, dashed back to their stalls and were burned. In the Hull that came between the fresh outbursts of fire Joan could hear the pealing of the church bell. Her thoughts turned to Rupert.

 know the district, the teeming tenements--pouring children at every window and doorway--and the tongues of all the world sounding in your ears. think of this girl, the wife of 'Gl- ovana, the name itself bringing pie lures of Italy. I can think of her on a bench, beside a sun-splashed cottage just outside of Naples-a group of giggling girls clustered about, sewing on the same dress that was to be her shroud. Each delicate stich was per haps accompanied with a thought of future happiness, of a lifetime of joy with her Rosario in that new land that still beckons to the people of Europe as the land of golden opportunities.
 I can see her when the day of days arrived, radiant in this first worn finery, accompanied by her bridesmaids, all flower be-decked, picking their way amid the picturesque filth of an Italian village to the church.
 After the ceremony what dancing and feasting, what drinking and kissing, what singing and laughter until the night was far spent-and the sun peek ing over the nearby mountain was har- binger of the new life to come. 1 see Giovania and Rosario, arm-en- twined, leaning over the afterdeck rail of the steamer that was to bear them to America, their eyes perhaps misty with tears as the many hued villa walls of their beloved Napoli faded from view.
 As they steamed through the Mar rows and beheld their dream city rising lofty and beautiful from the waters of the bay, what hopes were theirs No tears, just thoughts of happiness for the future. Their passage through Ellis Island made the landing at the Battery all the sweeter.
 Then what meetings with gone-before relatives and friends-tears and em- braces and inquiries for those left be- bind.
 Next the tenement in Essex street, not squalid to Giovania, but wonder full beyong her dreams, for was there not running water in the sink, no more going to the village well; gas to cook by-it was wonderful.
 In the little tin trunk was the lovely white wedding dress, only to be used on festas in this glorious land. What caused the grewsome termination? Was it poverty? Illness? Did Rosario give his love to another? The newspapers say only: Wife Hangs Herself in We'd ding Dress.

CHAPTER XXX

"HE days passed pleasantly a' Hearts Desire and despite Mrs
 Loves outburst of wrath against Sonny and her insinuations that Joan was his accomplice she still remained al the farm. Rupert could not quite, un. derstand the situation for he rarely had A chance to be alone with Joan,- yet Mrs. Love seemed to have hosts of en. agreements. Sonny had been forgiven and his aunt had changed her tactics with him and apparently endorsed loans methods. In fact on one of her visits to the county town she had pur- chased a small gift for Joan as though to make amends for any injustice she had done her.
 One afternoon when Sonny was play ing with the farmers boys, Joan took the opportunity to go to the village to tao some needful shopping. As she walked slowly homewards she heard the pealing of the church bell and knew that there must be fire somewhere. Glancing around she saw great volumes of smoke sweeping upwards from Wynne's farm. Along the road behind her she heard the sounds of hurrying automobiles. Instantly she remembered that Rupert had told her about the old iaan.
 Creeping under the fence she started to run across a field. As she reached the driveway to the farm she saw Dr. Lang's car sweeping towards her. Slowing it down for minute he called to her to jump in and breaking the speed laws he reached the barns min- ute later. Flames were bursting from one barn, while the neighbors who formed the volunteer fire brigade were eagerly trying to stay them. Above the fierce roar of the leaping flames came the calls of the terrified beasts.
 You'd better stay here," said the doc tor. The flames haven't touched the house yet so I guess the old man is all right, but the men are trying to get the
