Yo comprendo tn enojo cuando
reprochas a las mujeres ell color

pintas, un beso de hermana sobre

No bailas a la moda, nj creo
que 10 intentes alguna vez. En-
cuentras ell cine pueril y rfes de
las graciosas colecciones de retra-
tos autografiados que han conver-
lido las recamaras de las virgenes

fieres en- cambio observar desde tn
asiento, en- las reuniones, ell mo-
vimiento de una vida que compren
des a medias Y que tie interesa
mas que como una forma de recti-
ficante. Buscas ell trato de las per
sonas mayores de 0uienes-pobre
de ii ingenua-esperas aprender,
q la charla vacfa de tus amigos y
sufres cuando Sc tie dice una ga
lanterfa en- p1blico. Themes raz6n,
duda siempre de las admiraciones
exaltadas porque en- ell fondo, no
son mas que una forma del auto
elogio.

jer de otrO siglo; un POGO rezaga-

Tai vez exageres cuando sostie-

situaci6n de una mujer por peor
casada que Sc la suponga-con tai
de que sea madre-a la de cual-

amarnos mutuamente como la con-
dicion primera del verdadero Fran

House Group Refuses
To Extend Coal Act
By 1911 Vote
Appeal by President
For Favorable Report
On Bill Goes Unheeded
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Notwithstanding a recommen-
dation by President Roosevelt,
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee today declined, by a vote
of 1911, to approve extension Of
the BituminouS Coal Act.
President Roosevelt, in a letter to
the committee, had appealed for
continuation of the act saying:
The whole coal situation Is so
unsettled that it would be helpful if
any phase of 1t could be definitely
concluded. " am again con-
cerned about the failure to extend
the Guffey Coal Act and I hope the
Ways and Means Committee will
find it possible to conclude its hear
ings and report the bill favorably."
Opponents of the measure con-
tended that since the Government
had taken over the coal mines, as an
aftermath Of the strike, the coal
act was no longer necessary. 1t also
was contended the act had resulted
in higher prices for coal consumers.
Without congressional action. the
Governments most extensive effort
to stabilize a single industry will
expire August %.
Witnesses claiming to represent
about IS per cent of the CONNER
cial coal production and representa-
tives of coal miners had requested
that the act be continued.
The act sets up machinery for a
system of minimum prices on a
regional basis at the mines with the
view to preventing destructive COM
petition and stabilizing the coal
industry.
