tinkering with his apparatus.
THE fight that did not occur
L against the seating Of Mayor
Hague's pal, George Milton, as
new Senator from lew Jersey,
caused plent. Of debate in the
Senate cloakroom.
It seems Milton's right to his
seat was to nPve been chal.
lenged by a certain liberal Sen
ator. The challenge Was to have
been based on charges Of labor's
Nonpartisan League that Milton
was bag-man (money collector)
for Hague.
But just before Milton was to
be sworn in, this liberal leader
left the Senate chamber and
went into the cloakroom. In
terested Senators sent pages
after him to notify him that
the time had come for him to
fight, but he remained in the
cloakroom.
The answer is the liberal
leader decided no successful
contest could be conducted on
the basis Of charges presented.
A T about 10 o'clock the other
"A evening session, a group of
Senators decided the time had
come to discipline the Vice
President, Mr.. Garner. AS q
quorum had been called by the
Senate, they agreed the Vice
Presidents presence vas re-
quired. There was no special
reason, except that Mr.. Garner
retireS each evening just about
as soon as the street lights go
on, and leaves word at his hotel
desk that he will not be dis
turbed by any call except from
the White House.
Senator Jimmy Byrnes, Of
South Carolina, was elected for
the honor Of getting Garner out
Of bed. He called the hotel, but
the clerk did not seem to be
impressed by a mere senatorial
title. So Byrnes and the rest
went to the Senate Sergeant-at-
Arms, Chesley Jurney. Mr.. Jur.
ney called and in his best Su-
preme Court manner, which liz
as authoritative as if it came
from on high, he demanded the
corpus delecti Of the Vice PreSi-
dent. He got it-and more.
The Vice President came 70
the telephone half awake and
there delivered the only speech
he has made since assuming his
office (while gleeful Senators
listened in on extensionS).
He started out something like
this: "!-$O&!". Then he
launched into the body Of his
address, which was to the effect
that he ha6 been elected by the
people and he had no response
bility to that blankety blank
blank Senate and if that certain
kind Of a Senate wanted some
one to preside over it at such un-
godly hours, it could get Key
Pittman, the President protein,
out of bed. So saying, he worked
eloquently up to a peroration
invitation to Mr.. Jurney and 96
Senators to go jump in the Tidal
Basin, slammed the receiver and
went back to bed.

Strictly nonpolitical and eco

that industry itself is the goose,
that if it is fed in business

amount of gold eggs in wages.
But If it is not fed or If it be-
comes economically i'll from
having overeaten on inventories,
there Is no way under the sun
to make it lay the same amount
of either gold or silver in wages.
The less it is fed, the less it
lays.
If Messrs. Roosevelt and
Lewis can make industry lay
1897 eggs on a 1888 price and
business diet, the : economists
say it will not only be a good
trick, but a miracle.

HlPASS HEALTH CAMP
FINISHES SEASON

Hipass Health Camp has just closed,
finishing the most successful season in
the history of that worthy institution.
Thousands of child-days were recorded,
days which meant better health in body
and mind for many children. No one
could visit that institution and make
even a casual survey without being i'm
pressed by its worthwhileness, and fired
by desire to help out in its improve
ment and push for its objectives. One
looks about hopelessly seeking those to
commend for such accomplishment, and
finds, behind the guidance of the Ameri-
can Legion, countless fine citizens who
have contributed to making the camp a
really fine institution. We can heartily
say Congratulations" to those Legion
naires and women who have taken the
leadership; and to all the rest who have
participated and helped in greater or
lesser degree, neither money nor effort
could have been better spent"
