NEW o BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 31, 1017. ' REVELATIONS By ADELE GARRISON Why Madge Asked ‘Hersclf if Dicky Could Possibly Be Jealous of Harry Underwood. “Well! well! here are our famaus little mountain resorters, brown as berries, plump as partridges, rosy Harry Underwood advanced to meet Dicky and me as we entered the small restaurant whither Lillian had bid- den'us to meet them, *Get a thesaurus, Harr ed his wife, gently pushing him aside and taking both my hands in hearty, lov- ingd greeting, . “and dust off smiles.” “She’s simply jealous of my literary ability,” Mr. Underwood confided to me when Lillian had released my hands and turned to greet Dicky. “But you are looking great! Your color is simply ripping, and your eves are like stars! What did you do, stay out of doors all the time?” your His eyes swept me with the look I| always hate in him, the cool, apprais- ing, if admiring look that always leaves me feeling as if I were not fully' clothed. Then bending toward mé with the mingling of audacity and deferémce which always characterize hini,"he ushered me to the table toward which Dicky and Lilljag, were airéady advancing. 2 %\‘u By the time we reached the®table I was thoroughly uncomfortable, as I always am with Harry Underwood. I have had many dicagreeable moments on his account, gnd I can never get rid of the feeling that some- time, somewhere, his path and mine will cross in sinister fashion. But he is Lillian's husband, and although I know she has no illusions concerning him, yet for her sake I always try to put into my treatment of him just the right shade of courteous friendli- ness. 4 But it is a hard thing for any woman to maintain' just the cerrect reserve toward Harry Underwood. He i I is a most fascinating man, and when he wishes, his manner can hold such | courtliness and deference that almost ‘[an_v feminine antagonisms would be | lulled. Sometimes when I am with | him T feel most unaccountably at- | tracted by him. If I were free to da exactly as I wished concerning him ! I should never willingly set eyes on him again. He is a man to be either hated cordially or liked enthusiastic- ally. To me the degrec of intimacy | which he has established in our house- | hold by virtue of being Lillian’s hus- | band, is a dangerous thing. It makes| me most uncomfartable. I do not| like being on such friendly terms with this subtly fascinating man. “Now, old top, tell us all about it,”" Mr. Underwood turned to Dicky after the waiter had taken our orders.| “Did you-manage to keep out of jail?” Dicky laoked sheepishly at me and grinned. T knew that he suspected my hidden resentment at his deceiving me about the fishing laws, a deceit | that led to our arrest, and nearly to more unpleasant consequences. ! “Come, Confess Now!™ ! Mr, Underwood saw the look, and avas instantly alert. “I knew it!” he exclaimed. *I knew it! Here's where I win my bet! He turned to Lillian. “This wise guy | thought he could ga trouting up in the | Catskills after the season had ended and get away with it. I bet him an, even ten-spot he.couldn’t, and I can see by the hang-dog look on his face he wasn’t as wise as he thought he was. Come, confess, now, Weisen- heimer!” he jeered. Dicky threw back his laughed disdainfully. “Guess again,” he said coolly. *I have the honar to inform you that Mrs. Graham and I went trouting in the Catskills out of season, that we caught trout, ate trout, and that we neither went to jail nor did we pay a fine.” Harry Underwood gazed at Dicky steadfastly for a moment, “There’s a cullud gemman in the woodpile samewhere,” he mused, “‘and T's a gwine to smoke him out.

Is this husband of yours telling the truth? I wouldn’t trust him on the witness stand or at the judgment day.” I hesitated a moment, and felt rather than saw Dicky’s frown of dis- pleasure that I did not immediately verify his statement. What Madge Replied. “What Dicky has told you' is the truth,” I finally remarked, ‘“except that I did not know we were breaking the fishing laws.” “Of course you didn’t,” Mr. Under- wood returned in much the same tone that one wauld say. ' “There, there,” to an infant; “but I want to ask you one more question. You are on the witness stand remember. Was what Dicky just told me the whole truth?” I shrugged my shoulders lightly. “I believe no wife can be compelled to testify against her husband,” I said mischievously, and turned- to Lillian, leaving the two men to fight out their own battle. “Ahalef have it!” Hdrry Underwood turned gloatingly to Dicky. “You were arrested all right, but you squirmed out of it some way. Youd better make a clean breast of it and throw yourself upon the mercy of the ¢ourt.” “All right,”” Dicky agreed, “provided vou let Lil be the court. She’s got some sense of fairness, and won’t let ¥ou get away with any rough work."” “What's the matter with Mrs, Gra- ham as judge of the matter de- manded Mr. Underwood, smiling at me. “Oh, she never could resist your fas- cinations, Harry. She’d decide for you. money now matter.” 4 He spoke lightly, gayly, smiling at me as he spoke. But I saw Lillian shoot a swift, shrewd little glance at him, and I knew that under his light- ness there was a real . resentment against me for not upholding him more fully in his statement concerning our immunity from punishment for violating the fishing laws. Could it be possible, also, that he was jealous of Harry Underwood? ¢ as let her judge the SR The .Homev Remedy for' coughs, cnlds, hoarseness; pleasant to take and sure to help f when needed.

GOOD SOLUTION OF ECONOMIC PROBLEM Report Says Tuberculosis Would Be Reduced, Eye Strain Relieved, Per- sonal Efliciency Would Be Incrcased ! Expenditures For Fuel and Lighting 1 ‘Would Be Decreascd and Farmers Greatly Helped. ‘Washington, Jan, 31—Congressional action to authorize the setting of all clocks in the country one hour ahead of the present standard time was rec- ommended to the Chamber of Com- merce of the United States today at the opening of its fifth annual meet- ing, which will conclude Friday night, by a committee on ‘‘daylight saving.” As an alternative, the committee sug- gested the plan at least for the months between April 1 and December L. Eight hundred national and local com- | mercial organizations were said to be | reported at the meeting. The railroad | situation was the topic for tonight’s session and the result of a refer- endum of members: on railroad strike. prevention and other labor problems was to be announced. Na- tional defense, foreign relations and preparation ‘ for business conditions after, the war will be considered later this week and President Wilson and former President Taft are speakers on the program for a concluding dinner Friday night. ‘The report on daylight saving says: ‘“The considerations supporting this proposal are physiological,” econoniic !and social. It will substitute a cool morning working hour in summer for a farm afternoon hour. Increased daylight in the hours of greatest fa- tigue will tend to lessen tuberculosis, will decidedly reduce eye strain, will | increase personal efficiency and ma- terially lessen industrial attacks. In cities, the advantage of having the evening’s rush hour when the trans- portation facilities are taxed,”come in i daylight is apparent. “The use of facilities for recreation would be tremendously increased. | There would be large'direct savings in expenditures for fuel and artificial light. Farmers will have an oppor- tunity to market their preduce earlier, thus offering it in better condition and gaining an hour of daylight for other work.” The report cites that practical ex- amples of the daylight saving plan were shown last summer in Austria, Denmark, England, France, Germany, ; Ttaly, Holland, Norway, Portugal and Sweden where clocks were turned ahead uniformly. R. Goodwin Rhett of Charlestown, S. C., president of the national cham- ber, in an address today sald ‘“the mission of the association is to give “to the business men of , America a | clear plan of issues which are vital to their welfare and the welfare of the country” and “to collect the judg- ment of these business men and pre- !sent them to those who may be in a | position to determine these issues fn [ accordance with such judgments.” The directors’ report showed that cight referendums on current jssues had been conducted among members organizations all over the countey in | 1916 and said these disclosures of pub- {1ic opinlon have proved their worth in | preventing hasty, ill-considered ac- tion, -the assumpton of a few to rep- resent and act for the many, of sec- tionalism or partisanship. The refort stated that the national chamber is “able to speak for over 300,000 firms, corporations and business men.” BOWDEN IS FLOATED, New York, Jan. 31.—The wegian steamship Bowden, which went aground on Barnegat shoals Monday night, was floated early today. The Bowden, a vessel of 718 tons net, was on her way here from Matansas and St. Jago, Coba. Nor- Pres. John K. Tener of Na- ; tional League Tells New York Convention of Bene- fits to Be Gained.

Tener of the Na- tlonal league, in his address at the National Daylight Saving convention here today. It would have the effect he declared, of giving more time to millions of people for the physical and mental enjoyment derived from -every form of amusement that is pe.missible only dquring daylight. “The American game of basebs§l,” said Mr. Tener, ‘“never has had an equal as an outdoor sport and it is hardly conceivable that it ever will. It seems ‘that this game of our own invention/includes and embraces every essential that stimulates the mind, re- creates the exhausted faculty, amuses the jaded sense, revives the sluggish blood, makes strong the weak muscle and imparts a vigor and health to the body that no other form of exercise combining the element of sport can accomplish.” A saving of milllons wof dollars would result from the substitution of an hour’s daylight for an hour during which artificial illumination of, some kind must be resorted to, Dr. orge F. Kunz of New York told the con- vention. -‘The gas consumption by the people of Vienna during the five manths of daylight saving in Austria Dr. Kunz added, “is said to have been reduced 158,915,200 cubic feet, result- ing in a saving of $142,000.” Milton W, Harrison, secretary of the savings bank section of the American Bankers association, said he con- sidered the daylight saving plan “the longest step toward the greater thrift and conservation that has been taken in the history of the nation. President Supports Movement. A letter from President Wilson sup- porting the objects of the movement to turn the clock forward one hour during the summer months was read today at the National Daylight Sav- ing convention in session here. It came in response to a letter written to the president by Marcus® M. Marks, chairman of the convention, setting forth the purpose of the movement. The president wrote: ‘“Your letter of January 26 unhap- pily reached me too late for me to send a letter which would get to you by the 30th. “I would have been glad to back up any movement which has the object so of the daylight saving movement.” REILLY CANDIDATE FOR FEDERAL POST Il May Resume Work in Income Tax Department (Special to the Herald.)

Now Colonel Osborn, commissioner of internal revenue, is reported to have promised him his old job back again. New England members of congress are hopeful that the Brandegee-Tilson bill will be passed by congress at this session. This meagure provides for amending the Panama Canal act so as to give the interstate commerce com- mission discretionary authority to per- mit railroads under some circum- stances to continue the operation of steamboat lines. It is thought by some that the commission has not now the authority that is desired, The purpose of the bill is to retain the sound lines of steamers under the management of the New Haven rail- road. The measure is earnestly ad- vocated by the New Haven Chamber of Commerce and other shipping and commercial interests, At a recent hearing on the Brande- gee-Tilson bill, Judge Clements-of the interstate commerce commission ap- peared before the senate committee on interstate commerce in support of the legislation proposcd.
