CONGRESS MAY TAKE RECESS
From July Ist to October Ist-The
Weather In Washington Getting Too
Hot for Our National Law Makers.

Hot for Our National Law. Makers.
A Washington dispatch says that
Congress is considering a recess
through the hottest period OF the
summer and the early fall. Talk in
responsible quarters about the Sen
ate is that a recess is likely to be de-
termined upon. 10 casethere is such
a recess it will probably start early
in July and last until about Octobe T
first.
The talk of a recess is getting more
and more vigorous, with the pros
poets that Congress is going to find
itself entangled with general revision
of the tariff before the extra session
can b. wound up.
The outlook that the general re-
vision will have to be considered is
getting stronger and stronger. 1t
is in the Senate rather than the
House that the conditions are SEEM
ingly getting ripe for consideration
of every phase of the tariff, much as
senator's would like to avoid it. This
is the situation:
Things are dragging along in the
Senate with respect to reciprocity,
and nobody knows whether the
agreement, when it gets to the floor,
will be amended. II it is found that
amendment can be attached to it
revising one or more schedules, then
it is certain general revision will be
attempted through the medium OF
amendments to the reciprocity meas
are
II it is disclosed when the agree
ment gets before the Senate that
there are votes enough to amend it
in important particulars, then the
Senate will be confronted with con-
sideration of general revision.
Efforts will be made to bitch the
free list to the agreement and also
to attach to it revision of the sugar
schedule, the cotton and the wooden
schedules, and steel schedule. Should
one of these pass the Senate then
every schedule will be taken up and
debated and an effort be made to at
tach a revision of it to the reciprOcl
ty agreement.
Once the Senate sees this can be
done it will not try to finish the work
in the hot months of July and Au-
gust, but will take the whole fall to
the task.

Rescued Chickens Swallowed by a
Snake.

Weare told of a remarkable and un-
usual rescue which Mrs. John Rhodes,
OF Haymeadow, made on Sunday af-
ternoon, when she saved several of
her small chickens from certain
death. Hearing acOmmotion among
the chickens near the house she in
vestigated and found that a large
black snake had swallowed nine of
her small chicks and that the moth
er hen was as much disturbed as the
snake was contented. Mrs. Rhodes
hastily secured an axe and cut the
snake in two, and as she did so five
of the chicks leaped out. Four OF
them are still living and following
the mother hen seemingly quite un-
mindful of their thrilling and Jonah
like experience.-Wilkes Patriot.

One Thing That Remains
Cheap

This New York holocaust wherein
one hundred and forty odd girls
perish as victims of commercial
preed serves TO emphasize the TACT
that during this era of rising prices
one commodity, human life, has re
manned cheap. Fire escapes cost
money. and when compared with such
tries as few working girls, appear
as 'unattainable luXuries.
Last September DIR. George M.
Price was commissioned to inYesu-
gate the conditions surrounding the
garment workers in New York, and
this is the comment he makes upon
SATURDAYS horror: What was ex-
pected has happened. Those who
knew the flimsy fire protection in the
loft buildings of New York long ago
predicted such a disaster as occurred
in Washington Place. And there Is
hardly large loft building in New
York that is better protected from
fire"
Now the Gothamites are holding
indignation meetings and agitating
for enforcement of the building code,
so perhaps the girls who died last
Saturday, have not done so in vain.
