Tad, said the Fairy Queen, sent In an announcement and asked us If we'd please publish it as he would be glad to have as massee it as posd Now for the Ship Subsidy Legislation By calling congress In extra session two weeks this fall. President Harding believes the ship subsidy legislation can be well under way If it has not been finally passed In the house by the time the regular session begins Decem- ber 4. sible. ' - the What was the amiouftcement? other Fairies asked.Tt was this, said the Fairy queen, as she took forth a piece of paper upon which in strange sprawling words was written : Tad, the Black Cat, is giving an At Home Tuesday Evening in the Alley. "It Is his seeond birthday. All those whb wlh to bring him birthday presents may care for his list of suggestions, which Is as follows: , Mice, Milk, Cream, Sausage, Liver, and all other delicacies," Ribbons he does not care for. The Fairies all laughed after they had read this. No one but a Fairy could have read such strange writing as Tad wrote! "I believe Mr. Sun and Mr. Moon want to talk to us this afternoon. Theyre both to be In the sky at the same time, you know, today, and they have something most especially Important, they want to tell us. At that moment the Fairy Queen looked up and there she saw Mr. Moon Mr. Sun, of course, was shinsmiling. ing brightly. She had been waiting to see Mr. . . Moon. You had something to say to us today? she asked. Ah, yes. Fairy Queen, said Mr. President Harding yielded to the desire of his party leaders and did not insist upon consideration of ship subsidy legislation in the last session of congress he let it be known that he would insist on its consideration at an early date. The "feeling is still strong that It will be impossible to get through any subsidy bill "because of .the pronounced opposition manifested In various sections of the country. Nevertheless the Executive wants congress to go on record on legislation which he feels must be enacted. If America Is to maintain merchant marine. It is said that one of the reason! why it is likely that President Harding will not insist upon any important changes in the revenue law at the coming session is that he will center his attention on the ship subsidy bill and will be content to allow many other matters to go over until a later time. - When tEASHINGTON. Following a con- ference with President Harding, (Kan.), Campbell Representative chairman of the house rules committee, announced at the White House that congress would be convened In extra session November 20. . As chairman of the rules committee, Mr. Campbell has much to do with es- tablishing the order of legislative business in the house, and he said the first matter to be taken up would be ship subsidy legislation. President Harding recently told Speaker Gillett that he wants to avoid calling the next congress in extra session after March 4. Mr. Harding believes the country would welcome a legislative holiday of nine months next year. : . Legislation Changing the Revenue Law T EGISLATION materially changing the present revenue law Is unlikely at the coming session of congress, although recommendations along this line will be incorporated in the annual report of Secretary' of the Treasury Mellon, to be made public early in December. ' The feeling among Republican leaders Is that the time is not quite ripe for pressing revenue legislation. Some changes are considered desirable In the present law, which was placed on the statute books in November, 1921, but It Is the consensus that from a practical standpoint It would" be unwise to attempt anything of a comprehensive nature at this time. Passage of a bill amending the revenue law could be accomplished In the house without serious difficulty, In all probability. When the bill reaches the senate, however, it would be open to amendment, and In view of an agitation for radical measures, such as the restoration of the excess profits tax, ' higher estate taxes, and publicity of tax returns, It might be loaded down with provisions which would be more obnoxious to the present" administration thnn the taw as It stands. .

Is a society organized to promote friendly feelings between g peoples. It uses as one of Its mediums the gift of statues, restoration of historical spots and exchange of historical relics. It is the Sulgrave Institution that has restored English-speakin- the ancient borne of the Washingtons In England. In connection with its activities was the recent visit of a group of distinguished Britishers headed by Sir Charles Wakefield, former lord mayor of London, to present to the American people statues "of William Pitt. Edmund Burke and James Bryce. To Richard E. Enright, police commissioner of New York, apparently belongs a large share of the credit of the restoration of the Monroe ManIt was he who started the sion. movement In the board of. governors a year ago. The committee appointed includes Mr. Enright,, Charles Stuart Davidson, George F. Kunze, Walter Jennings, L. Gordon Hammersley, Andrew B. Humphrey, Robert Grier Cooke, Judge Alton B. Parker and John A. Stewart, chairman of directors of Sulgrave institution. ( The neighborhood of the Monroe Mansion has seen changes in keeping with the fall of the building from its once lofty estate. The historic house is now overshadowed by Jobbing bouses and surrounded by battery-fillin- g stations and lunch stands. A row buildings looks down of from the west upon this junk shop that ouce boasted of being among tlie best of the fine homes of an exclusive residential section.' The bouse was built Ty Saffiuel L. Gouverneur, who married Marla, the Presidents daughter. It is an y structure with an attic under a hip roof.

Russia and the United States were In controversy over Pacific coast boundaries. And here is the nub of what President Monroe said: "In the discussions to which this in the arinterest has given rise,-anrangements by which they may terminate, the occasion has been deemed proper for asserting, as a principle In which the rights and interests of the United States are Involved, that the American continents, by the free and Independent condition which they assumed , ahd maintained, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for. future colonization by any Eurw he pean power. . fore, to candor . . We owe It, there- and to the amicable relations existing between the United States and those powers to declare that we should consider any attempt bn their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety. With the existing colonies or dependencies of any European power we have not Interfered and shall not Interfere. But with the governments who have declared their independence and rtfcln-tai- n it, and whose independence we have, on great consideration and on just principles, acknowledged, we could not view any interposition for the purpose of oppressing them or controlling In any other manner their destiny by any European power in any other light than as the manifestation of an unfriendly disposition toward the United States, President Cleveland In 1895 in the controversy Over the boundary line between Venezuela and prltlsli Guiana warned Great Britain in a message .to congress that the Monroe Doctrine was Intended to apply to every stage of our national life, and cannot become obsolete' while our republic endures." President Harding, at' the unveiling of the Bolivar statue in New York lu ' 1921 said: The history of the generations since that doctrine was proclaimed has proved we never intended , It selfishly ; that we had no dream of exploitation. On the other side, the history of the last decade certainly must have convinced all the world that we stand willing to fight. If necessary, to protect these 'jontinents, these sturdy from oppression young democracies, and tyranny. confidence has always been most marked, a dominant characteristic even of his extreme youth. When he was about eight years old lie decided to take a Job during hiS school vacation, and accordingly sought After he had been work In a grocery. there a week or so his uncle meeting the old grocer, asked Well; how are you getting on with William at the Store? 1 seem to please him, said the old grocer with a Smile. I seem to plena him. It Was This,1?. that these were known as advertisements because they advertised or praised some special article. As I said the other day. Mr. Moon has ho substitutes. Ive seen that on signboards about other things. And I explained, or you explained, Fairy Queen, what substitutes meant Perhaps you will explain today? Gladly," . said the Fairy Queen, though I may not do It as well as yon could, Mr. Moon." ' Oh, most gracious Fairy Queen, said Mr. Moon, Im delighted at the compliment, but I am willing to let jrou do the explaining." A substitute is something put in the place of another, the Fairy Queen c began. t Now, If I were asked to go to party and I sent a substitute. It would mean I would be sending some one In my place. Isnt that right, Mr. Moon? Fine, fine, said Mr. Moon, Well, to continue," ' he added, I think Mr. Sun and I shall give air advertisements and write our signs on the clouds. , I shall put on mine: Accept no substitutes for Mr.- - Moon. There Is nothing the same. Money returned If not satisfactory, and If any has been given I Insist Upon Mr. Moons shining, and none other. And I shall have one, .$oo," said " Mr. Sum ; ;MIne shall be :. ' Othershave tried to shlneybut they Mr. Sun. There will cannot ahine-aalways be those who will Imitate him and try to be as bright. 'Bat accept only the real Mr. Sun. He has stood the test of ages. Fine, fine, said the Fairy Queen. The only thing is," said Mr. Moon,, that we wouldnt want to disfigure the clouds by putting signs on them, and we really have no rivals. Thats true, said Mr. Sun, "and I think it would be a pity "to put signs on the clouds. - We want some of Mother Nature never to be touched by signs and advertisements. I think that is best, said the Fairy Queen, but you could have a fine air advertisement if It werent for that However, Mr. Sun and Mr. Moon are among the few creatures who dont need to advertise, ended the Fairy s -- Queen.
