BOWIE HAS ASKED
 FOR A COMMITTEE Wants Domestic and Export
 Prices Investigated 1T MAY BE PIGEoNHoLED
Bankhead Has Not Decided to Enter Race for Alternate Senator, But 1t Is Probable That
 He Will.

Washington, May 17-(SpeciaL) L)-Under the terms of resolution introduced by Representative Bowie, the speaker of the House is directed to appoint a committee of five to investigate the difference be- tween export and domestic prices of Amer iean manufactures. It is needless to say that MT. Bowies resolution will be im- mediately pigeonhoed. There is already sufficient evidence of that character on hand to make the campaign for the re- publicans very interesting and an investi- gation would bring to light too much Secretary Taft's letter on the difference in price between American and foreign dredges is bad enough as an investiga- tion would likely show that much of tho steel used in foreign dredge construction comes from the United States.
 Bankhead May Announce.
 Representative Bankhead is as yet un- decided as to whether he will enter the alternate senatorial race He Is receiving many letters urging him to do so and it IS by no means improbable that he will yet announce his candidacy.
 Free Alcohol.
 If Senator Aldrich continues to hold the free alcohol bill in the Senate finance committee a motion will be made on the floor of the Senate to discharge the com mtee from the blPs consideration, and there is reason to believe that such a motion will carry. Whether it will be necessary to take this drastic step there is at present some doubt.
 The popular demand for the bills pas sage is increasing the belief that Senator AIdrich will be forced to take hands off Having just won such great victory on the railroad fight the shrewd senatorial republican leader may not think the all cohol bill worth fight.

We can divide the notes of birds into two prin-

of course the first is divsible into many minor
expressions, such the summons to food warning,

probably comparatively recent accomplishment
of birds, and is designed primarily to attract and

song still in its infancy and know little of the
SUBJECT 1t seems plausible that from some low type
evolved in the reptle-like ancestors of birds and
from the repetition and variation of this many of
the more simple songs have resulted. Our familiar
little chipping sparrow is a good example of this
latter theory, taking its name from it's well-known
Chip! which with different moduations seems to
express all its emotions. When love thrills its
little form it mounts a bush and breaks into vocal
ecstasy; but the best it achieve is ChiP-chfp

that bird which has developed unusual beauty of
song has use for and consequently lacks brilliant
colors, and vice versa. This seems clear proof
that such esthetic accomplishments are for the
purpose mentioned in the foregoing and not
mere by-products of excess of vigor.

Where Woman Excels

IF then it is at all true that honor does not exist
among women, it is only because a finer and fuller
form of spiritual excellence exists abundantly-
that quality which is known as charity, mercy
kindness, patience, generosity love. It's names
indeed have been many in the long array of history
but in its essence it does not change since it is part
OF the primal stuff from which the world made

our beautiful and ephemeral life to-day as it has
done these thousands of years. sad sincerity of
thought may overspread the earth with gloom for
a time but the warmth of this abundant spirit pres
emily returns and gaddens again of old.
Men cannot live without women because they find
in the hearts of perennial reservoirs of that
loving exuberance without which the substantial
frame of the universe itself could not exist
Let us foster honor among ourselves, therefore,
since it is nearly all we have But let also have
confidence in that mightier power, which is almost
strange to u.s. but which is native in women, and be
that destines would be futile without their
aid. Our reason, our CODE our traditional knowl-
edge, designed to secure safety against
kinds of disaster. But alone they are unable to
secure against the greatest disaster of ALL the

that precious ember among its ashes, is the
greatest of all employments. And that is the task
to which women, with such unvanquishabe faith

Do you not notice what the saw
ings banks are doing since the in
surance investigation began? Per
haps you have not seen the figures.
Not many have been out, in fact,
but statistics enough to prove that
people are doing more of their own
insurance than ever before, are
yours for the asking. In New York
State, for instance, where is the
storm center of insurance truobles,
savings banks deposits increased in
the last fiscal year more than
eighty-five millions the past six
months recording more than half
that amou Mt, to be exact, ffty-two
millions, These savings banks take
good care of money entrusted to
their care. They don't steal, they
don't speculate and they don't
waste it on big dinners and extra
VACANT salaries. There have been
savings banks that failed but now
adays such a thing is extremely
rare. If the insurance companies
had been managed like the savings
banks they would have been better
insurace companies and they would
not have been in the muss they are
wallowing in now-Grit.
