CONGRESS SETS DATE FOR

Washington. Dec. 11.--Congress will adjourn for the holidays on Tuesday, the 2lst instant, and Christmas recess will continue for two weeks. termin- ating on Tuesday, the fourth of January.
 There has been some pressure for an adjournment on Saturday the 18th, but Chairman Tawney of the House Committee on Appropriations has made a strong plea for an opportun- ity to get the appropriation legisla- tion started in the House that his wishes have been granted.
 Chairman Payne, of the Ways and Means Committee said today that it was desirable to get the appropria- ton bills under way as soon as pos- sible and that congressman could very well afford to lose a day or two from their vacation If there was a prospect of having some supply meas ures disposed of.
 There Is no doubt that the Senate will concur in whatever action the House might take.

Batffeship Nebraska Meets as Much Hard Luck as Did the Texas
 --Inyestfwafion Win
 be Made

| Washington, Dec. 11.-Unless Rear Admiral Schroeder comman CT in oh ief
 of the Atlantic fleet, appoints a court
 of inquiry into the collision Thursday
 of the battleships Georgia and Nebras-
 ka on the Virginia capes. the Navy Department will do so as soon as the full reports of the accident arrive in Washington.
 For weeks the Nebraska has been known as the unhappiest ship in the navy. Some officers have come to dread her as they did the Texas. The Nebraska, poking her nose against the Georgia, is likely to reveal an inter- esting tale of American naval life. The latest trouble of the Nebraska
 was linked with the name of lieut.. U. s. Macy. for some time ordinance officer of that vessel. Unable to over come the unkindly fates that seem to hover over her. the Nebraska made a miserable showing in target practice, compared with some of the other bat tleships.
 The Nebraska was called upon to ex- plain; other ships were complimented. Lieutenant Macy was in immediate charge of this feature of the ships
 work. In order to justify himself he wrote a letter addressed to the Navy Department, explaining that the low score was not his fault, but was due to a practical state of mutiny aboard the ship and other things that were not very complimentary to the commander of the vessel.
 That letter got no farther than Rear Admiral Schroeder. He ordered a court | martial of Lieutenant Macy, who. was
 acquitted. He was transferred to the
 other hoodoo of the navy. the Texas.
 but was finally rescued from that ship
 and sent by Assistant Secretary Win
 throp to Minneapolis as recruiting of- l icer.
 The hoodoo of the Nebraska recalls
 wildly the i'll luck which followed the Texas. To what extent the officers of the navy came to believe in this is conveyed by the story In circulation in
 regard to a visit Of officers of another ship paid to officers on the Texas. The hosts invited their visitors to take eff their overcoats; they declined. Finally 1t became almost imperative to do So.
 Then 1t was seen that the officers wore life preseryers.

CHRISTMAS GIFTS
 A CHILD GAN MAKE

Mothers are often beset by childish inquiries what to make for Christmas for grandmother. aunty, or some other grown friend or relative. Should she happen to be a house. keeper a nice little gift easily made by quite young children would be a bayberry bag to be used instead of wax in the laundry.
 The berries can be gathered in localities where they grow until late in the fall, and the gathering gives the children opportunity for walks in the country and healthful hours In the open air.
 The bags are made of the simplest materials, remnants of heavy crash. ticking, or bits of heavy linen. Two pieces seven inches square are cut and sewed together in a narrow seam, turned, and filled with the bayberries. A kitchen cup filled level full is enough for each bag.
 If the child wishes to add fancy touches the edges of bag can be but tonhoied in a mercerized cotton war ranted not to run, and an initial can be worked on the outside of each bag in cross stitch.
