BOWMAN OPPOSES
LONGER SESSIONS
Veteran Legislator Believes
They Would Cost State
Valuable Services.

81 am earnestly opposed to the con-
stitutional amendment which proposes
to extend the session of the General
Assembly to ninety days. said Colonel
a. M. Bowman. Of Salem, yesterday.
Colonel Bowman is in the city attend
ing the Lutheran Synod, and called
yesterday morning on the Governor, at
the Capitol. He has been chairman OF
the Finance Committee of the House
of Delegates for ten years. and is
thoroughly familiar With the working
of the Legislature.
Coming from one Of the prestige and
Legislative experience of Colonel Bow
man. it is regarded as probable that
his vigorous opposition to an extension
of the session will go far toward maxi
ing public. sentiment in opposition to
the plan.
Would Lose Good Men.
I'm the first place." he said, "a
ninety-day session would mean the
loss OF the services of some of the
most valuable men in the Legislature.
There are busy citizens who might
spare two months for SERVICE but who
could not see their way clear to giving
up three months. It will add to the
disinclination among useful and de-.
sirable men to serving in the laWmak-
ing body.
Again. do not believe it Will ia
cilitate public business or tend to a
more careful study of proposed leg
islation. No matter how long tho ses-
sion. there would. believe, be the
same tendency to postpone everything
to the last week. There would be the
same rush at the end For my part.

NAVAL RESERVES
TO BE ORGANIZED
Petition From Two Companies
to Military Authorities
Is Complete.

Companies "A and Of the. proposed
Virginia Naval Reserves, of Ports
mouth, are reported to be practically
ready to be mustered into service. The
petition to the Adjutant- General for
the formation of the commands will be
forwarded from Portsmouth to-mor-
row, with more than 100 names.
This petition affects only the two
companies named Company c will be
soon formed in Norfolk, where several
of the chief draughtsmen in the navy
yard have interested themselves in the
movement.
1t is also understood that similar
company will he formed in Newport
News, where petition will be pre-
pared and forwarded TO the Ad;utant-
General This would be Company G,
and would supply a sufficient number
of companies for the organization of
a battalion of Naval Reserves.
A meeting was held Of the two
Portsmouth companies on Wednesday
night, all of the ofticers-elect being
present, and it was determined to get
up the petition at once. A letter was
read from Acknowledgement Sale, In
which he Indicated that he was in
sympathy with the movement. It
was deemed best to complete the Or
ganization at the earliest possible mo-
ment so that the reserves could be
given place on the annual inspec-
ton round of Colonel 10 Lane Stern.
This, however, will probably be n diff
cult matter to accomplish because Of
lack of time.

squarino tho Circle.

The origin Of tie problem squaring
the circle Is almost lost In the mists of
antiquity. but there Is record Of an
attempted quadrature In Egypt 500
years before the exodus Of the Jews.
There is also a claim, according to
Hone, that the problem was solved by
a discovery Of Hipprocates, the geom-
etrician Of Chios-not the physician
800 B. G. Now, the efforts Of Hippoc-
rates we're devoted toward converting
a circle into crescent, because he had
found that the area Of figure pro-
duced by drawing two perpendicular
radil in circle is exactly equal to the
triangle formed by the line of juno
ton. This Is the famous theorem Of
the ''lunes Of Hippocrates' and is. like

which sometimes follow search for

Ten years ago Mrs. Asa Cummings Of
Binghamton, n. ", wasl showered with
bags OF rice by her friends as she left her
home on honeymoon tour. She died in
New York city recently from the effects
of one OF the kernels OF rice which
lodged in her ear.
When Mrs. Cummings and her husband
were pelted with rice as they left on their
HONEYMOON, some of it entered her ears.
She was unable to get all OF it out for several
days. A year elapsed before she had any
serious effects from the experience. She
began to have slight headaches and pains
in the back OF the head.
Mrs. Cummings at first attributed her
illness to an obstinate cold, but the pain
kept increasing to such an extent that
she consulted physician. II was found
that one OF the kernels had become i'm
bedded in the ear. Efforts were made TO
extricate it, but without avail.
Her condition eventually became so
alarming that she underwent an opera
ton. She was greatly relieved, but only
for a time. The kernel was not removed
in the operation. She afterward under
went another, which again afforded relief
but not a cure. A short time ago she
entered hospital for third operation.
Her condition then was very grave.
Brain fever, directly traceable to the
kernel Of rice, developed, and after much
suffering she died.
