The total percentage of the business
done by the corporation controlled by
the National Packing company forms

Something Humorous.

Half the house appeared to find
something humorous In the situation.
and the bitterness and rancor of the
last few days appeared gradually to
dissipate. Whether IL has In II any
greater significance than mere incl

tore.o!d
The republican caucus on the selec-
tion of the new rules committee, 1t
was announced by Representative Cur
rier, would not be held before the lat
ter part of the week. probably Satur-
day night. Nearly all the insurgents,
both those who voted for and against
the speaker last Saturday. announced
they intended to enter into caucus
Representative Hayes and one or two
others early In the day declared they
would not. under any circumstances,
enter the caucus unless they had as
surances as to what new members of
the committee would be chosen and
that they would be satisfactory to the
insurgents.
Many regular republicans volun-
teered the opinion that the insurgents
should be represented on the rules
committee. A few, but only a few, as
serted that they should have repre-
sentation. Leaders of the insurgents
said that they would hold no meet
Ing before the caucus.
The democrats, through Minority
Leader Champ Clark, acting for their
caucus chairman, Representative Clay

their caucus for Wednesday night.

Several of them. like Representative

cries of renewed rebellion. they were
met on all sides by smiles and con-

Not the least influence In producing
general mir of forgiveness was the
word that came indirectly from the
room of Speaker Cannon to the effect
that the speaker had moderated In his
attitude toward the men he had de-
nounced Saturday night, and there was
almost certainty that the speaker
had been misquoted In his remarks"

For the Service Of the RAGS.

There is no division of opinion as
to the goal for which our girls are
educated. More and moro, out of the
chaotic past, the conviction stands out
that each one Of us is in training for
the service of the race. A woman's
goal, like mans, is to give up her
life that the life Of the next genera
tion may be safer and wiser and hap
pier than this one. No higher educa-
tion that is not foolish and ill-judged
can unfit woman for bringing splen-
did children into the world and train

lawyers Odd Plea Sets Negro Free

Mr.. Cochran began his address to
the jury by reminding the jurors that
with one exception they had said
they were not prejudiced against a
negro.
I'VE accepted this one man with an
avowed prejudice" said Mr.. Cochran,
because we believed he was honest in
his avowals that he would be fair In
any case.

a prejudice against negro. / feel
the same prejudice myself. l once

not. 1t was prejudice that could not
rid myself of, and l do not feel that
such prejudice can be avoided"
The killing, according to Mr.. Cock
ran, was the outgrowth of the social
and economic conditions in this coun-
try. He said that his client, while
high school graduate, had tried to Sc
cure decent work in this country, but
had finally found himself driven to ac-

Women Have Nervous Feet.

Many women have nervous feet,
said dealer In womens shoes In a
large department store recently. II
have been selling shoes for the great
er part of my life and l have made
a study of how the shoes affect the
mind and the body. | have studied
the structure of the foot. My expe-
riences have convinced me that many
women have unusually sensitive feet.
| call them nervous feet. If they do
not get shoe that fits them properly,
their entire nervous system Is affect
ed. Such women often spend money
on doctors bills when all they really
need Is pair of shoes that fits them.
Sometimes the pressure of the shoe
on a narrow instep will make trouble
for woman, irritating her to an ex-
treme extent. Again, the shoe may
not pinch at any particular place, but
so affect all the nerves of the feet
as to wear out the entire nervous sys.
TENT. am convinced that If women
would give more care In getting a
proper fit In their shoes rather than
looking for high heels they would be
much happier"
