then said something to one of the
other young men who had gotten out
The other made a reply and both got
into the car. 1t was turned around
and driven down the street The bust

THE PROLONGED dilly-dallying
that has prevailed in Congress in the
effort Of both houses to get down to
business has had the effect Of caus-

possible that they may become
friends again, though differing on
