bows, arrows, lances, and bird

fully with a knife, were fish-hooks
of mother-of pearl needles made
from fish-bones, and bodkins from
the beaks Of birds, fishing-lines of
all sorts, and knives and other

THE OLD TRUNK

My grandmother's trunk in
the attic
Is full Of ridiculous things,
To which with tenacity painful
Her fancy Economically clings.
There are dresses SO long and
so heavy
Worn once by the maidens
of yore,
That trailed over sidewalks and
bridges
And wiped up the dust from the
floor.
The waists they were rigid with
~whalebones,
The sleeves we're enormous,
| swear,
The funny hats teetered and
wobbled,
Piled up on huge mountains Of
hair.
But strangest of all were the
indies
Grotesque and impossible things,
And yet my poor grandmother's
fancy
About them with loyalty clings.
The dolmans and cloaks were
amazing, 4
The corsets made breathing an
art.
That couldn't be practised in
public
And stiffled the beat Of the heart.
The figure was strangely
distorted.
By bustles and queer padded
things,
And yet my dear grandmother's
fancy
About them tenaciously clings.
How could they be neat, clean
and fragrant,
Those clothes enslaved maidens
of yore,
Whose long sweeping garments
were laden
With microbes and dirt from the
floor?
Oh, modern maid, cherish your
freedom
Your. contact with sunlight
and air;
the rose of the ages, my
dearie,
n the few, dainty things that
you wear.

at the wonderful way in which
this girl had surmounted OBJ

the generality of her SEX. The hut
itself was a marvel of skill; stout
posts had been driven into the
ground, with cross pieces of bam-

vancing to his brother, said in his
quiet way:
Il did not like to make any
remark, till you actually let out
the secret, Fritz, but We need no
longer pretend not to see through
the disguise of Edward Montrose."
Fritz, though much disconnected
by the discovery of the secret,
recovered his self-possession; and,
bearing with perfect equa-
the jokes with which his
1rothers assailed him, joined in
.hree cheers for their new sister,
ind when the confusion and laugh

continued his story:

Before darkness closed in, all
the ~curiosities and ingenious con
trivances of the place had been
displayed-the kitchen stove, cook

plates and spoons, the fishing raft
and numberless other things-and

HOOVER CRACKS

This, in effect is the ultima
tum handed the Senate by Presi-

approving The London Naval
treaty. now under attack before
two committees of the Senate.
The Presidents admonition to
the Senate was not couched in
quite so blunt language, but it
amounted to the same thing.
What he said was:
Special Session Threat
"My understanding is that ad-

earnestly striving TO provide
action at the present session If
this proves impossible l propose
to call a special ses IiOn immedi-
ately following this session for
the sole purpose of dealing with
the treaty"
To a Senate wearied from a
battle of a year and a half over
the tariff, and exceedingly anxious
to get home to see about getting
themselves renominated and re-
elected this year. the presidential

Despite the rain and cloudy
skies the Curtiss and ingalls, races
were to be run off at the Ana

scheduled, it was announced fol-
lowing a heavy down pour which
occurred shortly after noon today.
High winds preceded the shower
but no damage was done to any
of the planes. Several of the
planes were in the air at the
time but all of them landed
without nishap. The weather
forecaster promised better flying
conditions later on today.
-. Big Crowd Drenched
A colorful crowd at Hains Point
attired in bright colors was
drenched before they could find
cover when the shower came up
almost without warning.
Fifty of the planes flew low
over the heart of the city before
the start of the show and office
workers rushed to the windows
to crane their necks for a glimpse
of them.
A disappointment came with
the announcement from Lake
hurst, N. j., that the dirigible
Los Angeles had cancelled its
scheduled trip here.
Storms Halt Flight
The flight was called off late
because of thunderstorns between
the National Capital and Lake
hurst, where the airship is based.
1t had been planned to have a
! glider launching made from the
Los Angeles by Lieut.. Ralph S.

plane attached to the airship in

the desirability of concentration of
