Woman With q Horn Not a Myth.

One of the greatest living human
freaks in the country is to be seen in
Caswen county, y c.. which is in Rep
resentative ". W. Kitchin's district.
The other day Mr.. Kitchin received in
his mail letter from the chairman Of
the Caswell county commissioners re-
questiHg him to go and see some dime
museum manager and make arrange
ments for exhibiting the freak which is
a woman with a horn growing from the
back Of her head.
The horn is six inches long and very
hard. It strongly resembles the horn of
a goat.
Mr. Kitchin saw the woman some
time ago in a museum in North Carolina.
The member from the Tar Heel State.
however, has not yet made up his mind
whether or not he will embrace this OPP
portunity and embark in the dime mu
scum business as a side issue.

but 4 living reality.

4 Friend Of Labor

No one in the House is mere deeply
interested in the labor problem than
Representative Lowering of Massachu
sets. He is 2 cotton manufacturer, and
therefore = large employer Of labor.
Since his election to Congress FIVE
years ago he has been persistent in his
efforts to secure the passage of a joint
resolution providing for an amendment
to the Constitution giving Congress the
power to establish uniform hours of la
United States.
At the beginning of this Congress he
introduced the joint resolution men
tened above. and it has been considered
by the House Judiciary Committee, but
without the committee coming to any
conclusion thereon. 1t is the unfinished
business before the committee.
Representative Lowering says there is
great diversity in the hours of labor in
manufacturing establishments, varying
from a week Of ffty-six hours to one of
seyenty-two hours. This diversity, he
says, create conditions of discrimination
as between citizens OF the several States
which operate to the disadvantage of
both labor and capital. resulting, he
contends. in unequal wages for a given
amount of labor and unequal earnings
for a given amount of capital.
The only way. he says, the evil can be
corrected is for Congress m nacs his
joint resolution so that the people can
adopt or reject the proposed amendment
to the Constitution.
1t is doubtful. however. if the Judi
ciary Committee will report the Lover
ing joint resolution this session.

PASSED BY THE SENATE
BILL ESTABLISHING PERMA-
 NEWT CENSUS BUREAU.
Amendment Providing for the Issu, ing Weekly Bulletins on the Production of Cotton Is In-
 serted in the Measure. .

Washington. Feb. f7.-After an extend ed debate, the Senate today passed the bill establishing permanent census of- flee. The discussion related principally to the collection and publication by the di- rector of census of statistics respecting the production of cotton. Mfr. Allison viz orously opposed the provision. maintain ing that -the cotton statistics gathered by the Department of Agriculture were complete and accurate, and that no nee essity existed for their duplication. De- spite his opposition the provision was in- serted in the bill.
 Several other bills of importance on the calendar were passedt among them one extt nding the charters of national banks.
 Consideration was resumed of the per manent census bill, the pending amend me nt being that offered by Mir. Tiliman providing that the director of the census
 hould issue monthly bulletins from Oc' tober l, each year, until and including March l. on the production of cotton as represented by the ginners.
 Mir. Allison opposed the amendment He pointed out returns of the cot or crops are now being sent to the Agricul- tural Departm nt from every ginner tr the country, and ventured> the opinior that the returna were as accurate aa could be obtained. ai
 Mir Clay interrupted 10 say that hs had no idea that one-half of the kinnsrs made reports 70 the Agricultural De partment.
 Mir Culberson said that in November last the "A gricultural Department issned an estimate of the cotton production oi such a nature that the price of cotton rose immediately g a bale. He thought that indicated q lack of accurate informa- tion previous to that time.
 Mir Allison replied that the reports issued by private concerns had estimated

He pointed cut that the Agricultural Depart ment was first to give to the public ac- cuIate information coneerniag the pro- duction, He maintained that If the pro- ducers of cotton had depended upon the figures of the crop reported by the Agri- cultural Department, they would not have been led into disposing. of their cot ]. ton for lower ngure than It. actually was worth.

Ali son whether he. representing corn state. realized more fully the importance of the proposed amendment to the cotton producers than all the Senators from the cotton States Mfr. Allison replied that he might be regarded as in the position | of the juryman opposed to his eleven I associates, but that he would be satisfied whatever the result might be.
 l Mir. Money proposed an amendment tc the amendment so that the bulletins should be issued weekly beginning Sep | temher of each year and extending tc and including February.
 The amendment to the amendment wat | agreed to and the amendment as amended
