Andrew wants to eliminate the ap-

Friends of the babies have no
objection to cruisers, but they point
out that the appropriation to the
bureau if diverted, would hardly buy
more than a couple of smoke stacks.
Congressman Andrew said this:
"The bureau, which was started in
1918 with an appropriation Of less
than $4,000, has gradually increased
it's demands until during the present
year the appropriation amounts to
nearly $1,500,0O0."

he probably will soon be advised that
his figures are misleading. The fact
is that only $294,O00 was appropriated
for the children's bureau itself for
1927. 1t was also given $4,000 for
expenses in administering the Shep-

congress appropriated $95O,00O to be

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE
NO RESULTS

NO RESULTS
AS test of what drinking will do
In the pep and efficiency line,
Certain chickens were taught to
pursue
A diet consisting of wine.
And after a week or two, it was
agreed
That, compared to their water-fed
cousins
Then hens which were kept just a
little bit teed
Won out in their lay, by the
dozens.
This ought, you observe, to be proof
That to look on the wine when
it's red
Instead of remaining aloof
From spirits, won't weaken the
head.
If hens, lit a bit, can improve in
their trade
And proceed to lay eggs without
fetter,
Why can human beings who swig
lemonade
EXpecC 10 90 very mucn peCter!
But carrier pigeons whose thirst
BY nip of the grape was assuaged
With unwonted energy burst
From the doors of their wicker
built cage;
Fierce, eager and seemingly keen for
a tray
Their wings the blue ether waves
spurning
They circled the farm yard and
darted away
On journey that knew no re-
turning.
And having an unbiased mind
Which has all the facts in it's ken
We boldly submit that we find,
That birds are trifle like men.
There are some who can drink-wine
or whisky or gin,
With never a qualm nor a flicker,
Go out in this world of contention
and win,
While others just cannot stand
liquor.

Skidless Rubber Seen
 As Pavement of Future

Washington, Feb. l. P - Streets and highways may be sur faced in some future day with soundless, durable rubber and the worlds highway traffic allowed to proceed skidlessly through rubber to-rubber contact.
 A matter of fact report to the Commerce department from a Lon don observer notes that a 700-yard area of rubber pavement, laid for tests in one of London's heaviest traffic streets has withstood one month of wear and stress and dampness under English winter conditions without showing any signs of deterioration. A much longer time Of experimentation, however, will be needed before the engineers and experts reach con- clusons.
 American makers of hard surface road materials need not be disturb ed by the prospects, however, be- cause the report adds that the rubber used in the test merely sup plements ordinary materials in making a roadway, The test street is paved first with a concrete foun- dation, headed over with sand, and on the sand is laid rubber topped brick, sealed with rubber cement.
