Many member are eager to get away during the hot weather and as a result it is difficult to obtain a House quorum. It.was: suggested that salaries be boudled' with a fine of $300 as nenalty for 2: j day's leave during a 50-day session. I The roll would be called twice daily. We should find all the things we in tended to do, But forgot and remembered too' late; jLixtie praises unspoKen, mue promis es broken-, And all of the thousand and one Little duties neglected that might have perfected The day for one less fortunate. It wouldn't be possible not to be kind In the land of Beginning Again, And the ones we misjudged and the ones whom we grudged Their moments, of victory here Would find in the grasp of our 'oving handclasp More than penitent lips could ex plain. , s, For what had been hardest we'd know had been best, And what had seemed loss would be A gain; For there isn't a thing that will not take wing When we've faced it and laughed it away; And I think that the laughter is most what wTe're after In the land of Beginning Again. So I wish that there was some won derful place Called the Land of Beginning Again, Where all our mistakes and all our heartaches, And all of our poor, selfish griefs Could be dropped like a shabby old coat at the door And nsyer put on again. . j ' ' 1 In reply to Lord Northcliffe'sj slighting remarks concerning prohi bition in America, Wayne B .Wheel er, of the Anti-Saloon League, shows that while there is room for intPFGY- mejit in prohibition enforcement! there is a striking contrast between! conditions in England and in the United States. Comparing 1920 with1! 1910, the total number of convictions 5r drunkenness in England and Wales shows an increase of 6 5.2 6 per cent, while the figures for every month in 1920 were, higher than the figures of any month during the four preceding pears, except inJrnur.r' 1916, and December, 1919.

Unusual purchasing power through big volume of business, and the great efficiency of its $7,000,000 Plant No. 2, manufacturing, exclu sively 30x3 Yi size, made this possible. Now, the production of the Extra Size 30x3 tire has been transferred to Plant No. 2. This permits the price reduction on this tire from $16.65 to $13.95. No such value has ever before been offered tire users. If your dealer hasn't the Extra Size in stock ask for our Stand ard Non-Skid type at the same price. You will still be getting n unusual tire value. Cords That Don't BlovirjOut You reel secure on Firestone Cords. Because Firestone Cords don't blow; out.
