WOMEN WORK TOO MUCH.

New Orleans States: One reason why
the average woman wears out and grows
old and plain is that, through mistaken
idea of duty, she lays out for herself at
the beginning of married life scheme
of duty of which every hour is filled
with work, says correspondent. This
she follows religiously for years, feeling
that she has done her duty She, how
ever, soon becomes merely machine
Can any woman keep brightness, orig
inality of thought, or even good looks,
with such life? And, without those
things, how can she keep her husband
and children full of loving admiration?
Constant association with oters of her
own age, with her children and their
friends, and an occasional period of re-
creation is what the average woman re-
quires to make her attractive

CONGRESSMAN PLEASED
ACTING CHAIRMAN ALEXANDER
PAYS LOUISIANA TRIBUTE.
Was Agreeably Surprised at the States
Resources, Variety and Vastness, and
Energy Displayed by Her People.

Monroe Star: Judge DeAlva AleXan-
der, acting chairman of the Rivers and
Harbors Committee, recently in Monroe,
expressed himself, at the conclusion of
the trip, as follows:
ITO me, the committees trip through
Louisiana has been both interesting and
instructive Of course we knew some
thing of the States resources, but we
lid not realize their variety and vastness
nor did we appreciate the tremendous
energy that is everywhere present IN their
development The determination of Nor
gan City to have deep water to the guilt
is good illustration of it Inland wa
terways seem to gridiron Louisiana, and
with little help from the National gov
eminent they will become great COM
merce bearers. The further improve
ment of the intercoas stall canal is certain.
1t belongs to the great waterway system
of the gulf coast. The readiness OF
Louisiana's people to help themselves by
taking the initiative makes it easier for
Congress to help them. | am satisfied
that our visit will help us to help you.
In passing upon your projects we are
better able to appreciate your arguments
in their support.

HAWKINS UNDECIDED.
No Decision Yet Rendered as to
Anti-Camblins Act,

Austin, April Assistant Attorney
General Hawkins Wednesday said that
he had not reached decision on the
question as to whether the anti-gam-
bling law goes into effect Immediately
or not. The attorney generals depart
ment has received many inquiries on
this subject. 1t has developed that
this bill, as originally passed In the
house, did not carry the emergency
clause and was passed by a viva voce
vote, but that the conference committee
added the emergency clause and this
was adopted with the report by both
branches by the necessary two-thirds
vote.
The entire morning session of the
senate Wednesday was devoted to Me
consideration of Robertson's fof Trav.
isl bill requiring insurance companies
doing business in Texas to deposit 70
per cent of their reserve fund In the
state treasury and invest in Texas Sc
curities, and when the senate recessed
this measure was still under considera
ton, with a substitute for the bill
Considerable opposition has developed
to this measure.
The charter of the Texas Cotton
Warehouse Company of Houston, or,
ganized at Dallas, was filled; capital
stock, $2.5O0,000. Dave H. Schapiro
of Houston is at the head of the con

The court of criminal appeals has
convened here for the April term. A

A delegation of seyenty-dve, repre-
senting various railway labor organi-
cations in the state, reached here to
protest against the bill to reduce pas
senger fare in Texas. They contend
that it would result In greatly reduc.
ing the force and giving inferior
service.
An effort was made in the house
Wednesday to take up the general ap,
preparation bill. but there was objec-
ton and the effort failed. 1t is said
that if the bill is taken up for consid.
Grafton that it is the programme to
pass it in the house without discussion
and let the conference committee get
to work on 1t at once. If this should
be done it may pass during the regu-
lar session and only tax measures be
left for the extra session
The house passed to third reading
the senate joint resolution to amend
the constitution to make more com
plete liquor regulations, and also to
define the sale of liquor in local op.
ton districts.
1t passed finally Senator Smiths d.
vorce bill and Senator Chambers bill

The house also passed finally Repre-
sentative Ridgeway's bill increasing
charter fees after amending 1t so as to
create a position for an extra clerk
in the state department to examine
charters at salary of $4,000 per year
The house committee on constitu-
tional amendments reported favorably
on the senate joint resolution to
amend the constitution providing for
an increase of the governors salary

lieutenant governor at $4,000. The res
olution had already passed the senate
