THE V. H. Senate h troubled. The members are ulear about every
thing but the weather. And the weather in important in Wash
ington. The liiii'iiing question is not about the tariff, or disarma
ment, or Ambassador Harvey, but has summer really started.
IaII senatorial signs indicate it hasn't. For example, Senator
Thomas is no longer I here. For many years the Colorado senator
v,ns official harbinger of the dog days. When he discarded his iron
rray toupee and entered the chamber with his pink dome shining un
blushingly,' everyone knew it was time to discard flannels on the in
side, and drape them on the surface. Senator Thomas was as infal
lible as the moon.
And another weather vane, very vain, is missing. Senator J.
Ham Lewis always welcomed summer with grey silk suit, salmon-pink
silk shirt and turkey's egg ernvata, to match his whiskers. Hut there
is no J. Ham. The Illinois senator is somewhere in the vicinity of the
lilaekstone, which is in Chicago.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge is particularly worried. The Massa
chusetts senator has never been n specialist on the weather; he has
left such primitive affairs to the democrats. Hut now there are no
demoerats,: at least none to speak of, certainly none responsive to
the sunshine. So what is Henry Cabot to do? When summer comes
he always puts on a white waistcoat stiffly starched, over a stiff,
boiled shirt, surmounted by a choker collar. Has the great climac
teric arrived? Henry Cabot Lodge doesn't know, the only thing
in tho world he doesn't know.
In the House it is different. I'nele Joe is weather dictator over
there, the only portion of his former dictatorship left. In April he re
leases one button on bis vest, in May one each week, and when sum
mer has actually arrived, he throws his vest into the discard and ap
pears in his galluses. So the House is easy in the weather line. Hut
metoriologieal conditions are not the same in the upper chamber,
they never are. Particularly, with the presiding officer, such an im
ponderable factor. For Calvin Coolidge of Northampton, Massa
chusetts is in the chair. Now Calvin is not only ealvonistie, he is cool,
very cool. Moreover, he almost never talks. So even if there were
an embryonic democratic weather vane, said vane would not be able
to understand him. Even Senator Thomas might have contracted in
lliuinza, had he. doffed his toupee in Calvin's presence.
Therefore, an anxious world observes the senate climatically all
it sea. In the good old days, the Democrats announced the weather
tuid also adjourned for summer Vacation. There is no summer, and
there is no vacation this year.
Should the Democrats be called back to restore normalcy? Might
oiie suggest, the mutter be postponed for the present and be till) sub
ject for debate three years from next November.

EVENIIja HOURS.
THE day with its worries is ended at last, its troubles and hur
ries ore things of the past; the sun has descended, the night
shadows close, tho evening is splendid,' it brings me repose. All
day I was drilling and sweating around, ami mowing and milling,
and pawing tho ground; I weeded the onions and wrestled with
trees until I had bunions on fingers and knees. t And oft in my
((filing I murmured, "By James! What profits this moiling?
What good are men's games? We labor and labor, and labor
some more, till Death with his saber comes up to the door. We're
plowing or hewing or building a. wall; what good are we doing?
What use is it all? We fill up the hollow, wo drain out tho weir;
and people who follow, won't know we were here." And now
in the gloaming my rest is so sweet, I think of my roaming around
in tho heat, and know that it fitted my soul for this hour, mid toil
is acquitted of charges so dour. , I carried my burden until the
day's close, and this is the guerdon a tired man's repose.,

"Why, tho idea. He wants to know
if I intend to have a playmate for him
the next time he sees me," confessed
Mary blushing.
"I refuse to answer. Ouch! He's
got hold of my hair," cried the act
ress. "'Please stop pulling so hard on
that curl I'm dreadfully sorry, but
Doug and I both hope so sometime
yes, I'll tell you the very first one,
only please r-nice boy." (
"Won't you come up for bread and
milk some afternoon with Doug and
me?" the "movie" star asked.
"Yum-yum-yummy-yumm," cooed
Price, Junior.
"And then you can have your after
noon nap on my very own bod. Would
you like that" said Mary, her golden
curls all tousled.
"Mmmmmm-mnimmm," hummed
Price, Junior, contentedly.

TAD'S TID BITS
ON WORLD SPORT
The Fox and the Bulldog
This photo of Jim Cor hot t and Jack
Dompsey, taken recently at Atlantic
City, is a- wonderful picture, showing
the two distinct types in'the boxing
game. , .
On tho loft you see Jim Corbctt, the
first heavyweight champion under the
Marquis of Queensberry rules. Ho was
the man who made cleverness , the
greatest ring asset. It was Corbett
who sent brute Btrength and bulldog
tactics to the reur. Before that, under
Uindon prize ring rules, the man with
the thick neck, the short nose and the
strength of n hull ruled the roost.
Corbett proved that was all wrong.
He knocked out tho hero of that style
of fighting and made the brainy fight
er tho king. . i
Look at, the picture again. Look at
the noses of Corbett aiul Dempsey.
Corbett has the long nose of the fox,
Dempsey the short noso of the bulldog.
Our greatest boxers and ring mas-toi-B
havo had long noses. There wore
Tommy Kynn. Kid McCoy, Jack Demp
sey (the Nonpareil), Ahe Attell, and
Bombardier Wells. Today we have
Georges Carpentlor and Benny Leon
ard. ,
Our grentcst Bluggers have had
short noses such as adorns Dempsey.
There were John L. Sullivan, Jim Jef
fries, Hob Filzslninions, Terry JleGov
ern and Kid Lavigno.
in tho coining buttle the long and
short noses will meet.
Js the clever mun to rule, or the
bulldog?
al and didn't hurt a bit, and his being
shaded by Joe Jeanette in a fifteen
round go (at which Joe was compelled
to weigh in at 175 pounds). Up' could j
nave muiie just us good a showing
against Jeffries, Johnson, Dempsey or
Harry Wills (if he made them weigh
in low enough). ...
Then, to crown It all, he deliberately
avoids meeting Fred Fulton and Frank
Moron. No ono can blame him for
avoiding, Fulton, who is a whalo
against a man he thlnkB he can lick,
but, Ye Gods, what do you figure will
he the effect on the morale of a man
about to meet Jack Dempsey, of duck
ing Frank Moran on the ground of .be
ing too dangerous. Burntim was right.

Dear Tad:
1 suppose It would be as much as
your job was worth to" publish the fol
lowing paragraph, but once in a while
you pull a fast one which Is really re

turned out by somo of your press
agency colleagues, and perhaps this
will nut be altogether wasted. Here
goes:
Why Carpentier? ,
He licked a few dubs like Beckett
and Wells, outpointed a few fair mld
dlewelghts like Willie Lewis, Harry
Lewis, and Jeff Smith In twenty-round
fights, und was badly beaten by Klaus
and Papko. . , ,
His best performances were his vic

And It Only Travelled a Foot.-..
Pretty soon the scribes will be writ
ing about great knockouts. You"l
read stories of punches 'i'HAT ONLY
TltAVlOLLKD A FOOT.
That's all apple sauce. As the bloke
who never saw a camel before piped
when he lamped one for the first time
THEUE.AIX'T NO SUCH A.N'l.MAL.
One writer recently stated that the
first punch that dropped Willard at
Toledo wns n. left that travelled only,
a foot. The writer, sitting ,:t the
ringside that day, saw Dempsey pull
that very same left right from the
floor. It not only travelled .one l'oot,
'but about four feet. A man MUST
SWING In order to add heft to ihe
sock. A ennnon ball dropped a foot
wouldn't do as much damage as a
ennnon ball dropped 100 feet. It's
the same with u punch.
Fltzsimmons was boosted as bavins
knocked out men with n left that
travelled six Inches. Kit, was ft no
torious swinger. His punches usually
swept through four feet of air before
they landed. ,
Jeffries is also credited with knock
outs with punches that travelled six
and seven inches. Jeff was another
terrific swinger. Ills' big left swung
like the. boom on a yacht. He was
always swinging.
If you're nt the ringside watch, just
for the fun of it. It's a million to one
that a healthy swing will do the work.
