Brother Introduces Brother
Washington, April S.-The Demo
Gratis of the House yesterday indulged
in noisy demonstration when Eugene
n. Foss (Dem) of Massachusetts,
was escorted by his brother, Repre-
sentative Foss (Rep) of Illinois, to
| the speakers desk in order that the
oath of office might be administered
| to the new member who succeeded
the late Mr.. Lowering (Rep)
Republicans remained in their
seats quietly, as the Democrats arose
en- masse, applauding and cheering.
, Almost every member of the House
was in his seat when the two broth
ers marched down the center aisle,
leCpl SoSuIdllNC OillS JdnlCo VI ACHIuC-
ky, having made the point of no quor-
um as soon as the House assembled
! in order that full attendance might
greet a Democrat who succeeded a
Republican congressman.
In no other case do brothers oc-
cupy seats on the floor of the House
and never before have brothers of
opposite political faith been members
at the same time.
Womens Hats Are Blamed.
Washington, April s. = Women's
hats have been growing larger aud
larger each year. They have also
| been growing lighter and lighter in
weight. So that now a woman's hat
weighs less and takes up more room
than ten did ten years ago. A freight
or an express car will hold only a
tenth of the hats it did once and the
carriers raised the rates to make up
the difference.
| That is the answer of the railroads
and express companies to the COM
plant of the Millinery Jobbers' Asso-
citation which was heard before the
interstate commerce commission yes
terday. The milliners say the rates
are too high.
