This cry arose from rs
healthy young threats last
evening, as rs street "newsies"
Of The Spokane Press marched

The "Wuxtre" kidiets had a
great time at Pantages as the

the animals best, but they liked
the whoiep rogram and enjoyed
themselves hugely. The big

WHAT coLoRs SHALL usE2
This Question Is important In Painting
House or Other Building.

A proper color scheme is extremely
important In painting a house. It
makes all the difference between a
really attractive home and one at
which you wouldn't take a second
glance. And It makes big difference
In the price the property will bring on
the market.
AS to the exterior, good deal de-
pends upon the size and architecture
of the house, and upon its surround
ings. For good interior effect you
must consider the size of the rooms,
the light, etc.
You can avoid disappointment by
studying the books of color schemes
for both exterior and interior painting,
which can be had free by writing Ma
tional Lead Company, 1902 Trinity
Building, New York, and asking for
Houseowner's Painting Outfit No. 40.
The outfit also includes specifications,
and simple instrument for testing
the purity Of paint materials. Pure
White Lead which will stand the test
In this outfit will stand the weather

Houce Quits HunchIne Bins.

Jefferson City.-The attempt to en-.
pedite the business OF the house by
passing bills in groups Of FIVE aga:n
failed Monday afternoon when objec
tions were raised to the measures in
the first batch calendared for final dis
position.
A fruitless effort was made to con-
vince the objectors that separate ac-
tion on each bill would result in many
measures being ignored in the few re-
naming days of the session. A mo
tion then carried to dispense with the
calendar committee, which has sought
to throw aside bills without merit and
otherwise to rush the work of the
house.
Unless another attempt Is made to
bunch the bills, the session Is certain
to end with numbers OF them sin the
air."
One of the bills passed. introduced
by Mr.. Droste, of St. Louis, at the in
stance of the st. Louis Bar associa-
ton, is expected to aid the supreme
and appellate courts in clearing their
overcrowded dockets. 1t provides
that the appeals courts shall disre-
gard errors in or defects of any de-
cisons or actions of the trial court
which do not materially prejudice the
substantial rights of the appellant or
plaintiff in error

House Passes Theater Bill.

Jefferson City-The New York the
chain of theaters, including the Olym-
pic and Century, of st. Louis, is the
target of the Anamosa anti-theater
discriminating bill, passed by the
house, 73 to %.
The act is intended, according to
the statement of its author, to smash
the theatrical combine in Missouri.
In it's present form it applies to every
place Of amusement in the state. 1t
was agreed. however, that an effort
will be made to have the senate
amend the bill so as to exempt cities
of less than 5000.
The Anamosa bill is almost an ex-
act duplicate Of the Texas law, which
was enacted after the theatrical COM
bine's theaters in the Lone Star State
refused Sarah Bernhardt admission to
Texas playhouses several years ago.
? The proposed law requires owners,
lessees and managers Of places of
amusement, by whatever name known,
to throw open their doors to "any
standard, reputable play, opera or
show"
= Failure to comply with the law rem
ders the offender liable to fine OF
from $10O to $500. or Jail sentence
of from ten days to one year, also
forfeiture of the right to conduct q
theatrical business in the state for
ten years.

House Talks Adjournment.

Jefferson City.-Democratic house
members in a conference considered
the question of adjournment, but did
not agree on date.
Democratic members generally will
oppose the Hadley party measures. ac-
cording to Mr.. Barker, the minority
leader, but no effort was made to line
up the members against any Of them,
he said.
The public utilities bill will be op-
posed generally by Democrats because
the governor made of 1t a partisan
measure.
The house Republican leaders will
try to railroad through the Republican
party bills, so as to devote next week
to the appropriation bills and the pro-
hibition amendment should the latter
be sent back to the house by that
time.

MADE NEAT BIBLICAL RETORT
Writer Who Expected to Score OF Of
Editor Met with a Really Witty
Counter.

Few editors have the humor and
good nature which characterize Robert
II. Davis, chief Of the Munsey staff
and author Of the play, THE Family
writer who had submitted a story to
him received courteous rejection,
stating that the tale, although charm.
ing, was not suited to the Munsey pub
lications. In the course of few months
the story won prize in a contest, and
highly elated, the writer dispatched
the information:
Dear Mr.. Davis:
Psalms 118:22. See IS an
nouncements in the current issue"
The Scriptural reference was: "The
stone which the builders refused Is be-
come the head of the corner"
The next mail brought MI Davis
answer:
Dear -:

The chagrined writer found that the
fatal juXtaposition reads: This is
the Lords doings; it is marvellous in
our eyes"

produce nothing but blue notes. There's

House Approves No-Pass Law.

Jefferson City. - Speaker Speer's
antirailroad pass bill was passed by
the house Monday afternoon, 81 to 90.
The measure was not opposed when
called up for final action. though it
had a stormy voyage to the engross-
ment calendar week ago.
Those who objected to the act de-
clared they did so because of the
many exemptions provided.
1T exempts nearly everybody ex-
cept the farmer and the country news
paper man who would exchange ad-
vertising space for mileage" said one
member, who refused to vote for the
bill.

QUESTION OF VOTES
PROHIBITION AMENDMENT TO BE
REPORTED THIS WEEK.
II Sent Back to House, Resolution
Won't See Light Again, Legs-
Iators Say.

Jefferson City.-The senate commit
will report out the prohibition amend
ment probably without recommends
tions this week, according to Senator
Greene, chairman OF the committee
He sees no reason for holding the
resolution longer, and will give 1t to
the senate to wrestle with. There
will be no more hearings on that bill.
He has force of clerks counting the
petitions and signatures asking for
prohibition, but as yet no report has
been made to him as TO the number
petitioning in the senate.
1t Is certain that the amendment
can not carry in the senate unless
amended in some way. Senators Me-
thudy and McAllister favor tax rider
and other senators believe the Con-
ran amendment making prohibition
effective January /, 1918, should be
stricken out In either event it will
have to go back to the house for its
concurrence, which will probably
sound its death.knell, for that body
has yet before it the passage of q
number of important bills, including
the consideration and passage of the
big appropriation bills, which will
doubtless require several days.
Important Bills Before House.
Other measures which the house
wants to get out of the way before
tinkering with sumptuary legislation
are: The bill for the taxing Of inher-
itances; the public utilities bill; the
state board of control for the state
institutions; the bill for the inspec-
tion of coal oil and gasoline; a bill
for taxing wholesalers and manufac-
turers of intoxicants and imposing a
license upon clubs, merchants and
druggists, ETC.; the bill by the state
board of equalization to compel the
assessors of the state to assess prop
erty at its market value; the bill to
create bipartisan board of election
commissioners for st. Louis and Kan
sas City; the bill to tax automobiles,
and there are other measures which
the governor and the house leaders
believe should be given attention be-
fore adjournment.
So, it is a safe bet, members of
the legislature say, that the resolu-
ton will never get out of the house
if sent to that body.

Finds Flaw In Game Law.

Jefferson City-Representative Haw-
kins Of Dunklin county says that Sec
ton of the new game law which pro-
vides that the fines and forfeitures
imposed for violation of the act go
into the game fund is unconstitution-
al. He says the state constitution
provides that fines and forfeitures for
violation of all laws go ot the public
school fund of the state. The bill
has not yet been signed by Gov. Had
ley, but it is too late to amend this
section if it be unconstitutional. Even
If this section is found to be uncon-
stitutional, however, he says, 1t does
not invalidate the entire act.
