CONGRESS WORRIES
OVER POSSIBILITIES
OF AUGUST SESSION
Canal Bill and Parcels Post
Question May Start Pro-
longed Debates.


With one week of July gone. members
of Congress are becoming apprehensive
lest the session be prolonged far into the
month of August.
The Senate will try to rush things as
soon as the Lorimer case is disposed
Of But there are some serious stumb-
ling blocks in the way. One OF them is
a measure to which comparatively little
attention has been given on the Senate
side. This is the Panama canal bill
1t is the general feeling that 1t will
not do for Congress to quit without leg
islation on this question. On the other
hand, there are wide differences Of
opinion in the Senate as to what should
be done.
A powerful body Of Senators is doing
Its utmost to keep out of the bill any
provision that would prevent use of the
canal by ratlroad-owned ships. About
this question a heated controversy will
rage.
Wide difference of opinion also pre-
walls as to whether American ships In
the coastwise trade should have free
tolls.
Much time will also have to be de-
voted to appropriations. The Tariff
Board question in the sundry civil bill
will take time. Unless the postoffice
bill comes out of the Postoffce Commit
tee with the parcels post feature elimi-
mated, long debate will result over
this question.
Senator Bourne is fighting for the par
cells post, and hopes to have a provision
for a parcels post on the Zone System re-
ported out, in connection with the post
office appropriation bill.
II this question is seriously taken UP by
the Senate it will prolons the session in.
definitely.
The Senate has no notion of trying the
Impeachment case of Judge Archibald al
| this time. The probabilities are the
Senate will meet soon after the Novem
ber election for this purpose.

STARVATION CAUSED
BY TRANSPORT STRIKE
Union Fund At London Is Ex-

Meet Demands.

LONDON, July s.-Many women and
children were today facing starvation
as the result of the transport workers
strike which today entered its eighth
week. The strike leaders claim that
$4,000 men are still out. The union re-
lief funds were exhausted long ago. To-
day all organized charities are unable
to care for the applicants, and the
death rate, especially among the chill
dren OF tender years, who are unable
to obtain needed flourishment. has in
creased to an alarming rate.
The reports of the Board OF Trade
show falling Off in the volume of i'm
ports of more than S2,0O0,0OO. and in ex-
ports Of upward Of s5,0oo.oOO- for TIE
last month. The loss in wages to the
strikers Is estimated at s5,oo0,O00.

Wade H Moreland. the former COM
mission merchant, who shot himself
in front of his home, 80 Seaton place

Moreland was engaged in the fisl

HYATTSVILLE PLANS
DOG DIFFERENTIATION
Citizens Will Take No Chances
With Stray CANNES Roam
ing the Streets.

The life OF a stray dog which betrays
any signs of madness is not worth much
in Hysttsville. There is no law to COM
pei the muzzling Of dogs. and since the
rabies scare, which sent thirteen resi-
dents scurrying to the Public Health
and Marine Service Hospital for i'm
munity treatment, residents of the town
have decided to exterminate stray dogs
The dog which started the small panic
is dead and buried. His bite infected
COW, which is also dead. 1t is not
known that this mad dog bit others, but
some apprehension is felt on this ac-
count. The proverbial "ounee of pre-
vention" is very much in demand and
dogs desirous of reaching a green old
age will find other haunts than Hyatts-
Vile.
Only twelve OF the persons who drank
milk which they feared might be in
fected are now taking the treatment,
one OF the women deciding that she had
run no risk by drinking milk from the
mad cow: The immunizing treatment
will not be completed until the latter
part Of this month.

SARTORlAL HINTS.
By Elizabeth Lee.

A proper proportion of color is quite
as necessary to success as a correct
combination.
Not every woman understands this per-
fectly, and such a one, after seeing two
colors she much admires blended correct
ly, copies 1t in her own way, without
taking any particular notice Of the pro-
portions, and finds the result most dis
appointing. She has used the same col
ors. she argues. Why not the same re-
suit?
Spring and pretty summer frocks will
soon beein order, and as the majority or
the selection OF the trimmings IS left TO
the amateur dressmaker F6f The assist
ance OF this class / will give. few ex-
amples. - ?
Pink and blue are favorite. colors for
warm weather, and in combination are
very pretty If the blue predominates.
One has only to think of a pink hat
wreathed whit blue forget-me-nots and
a blue hat decorated In the same way
with pink roses to see how impossible
the former is. even though they have
only the slightest bit of color sense.
Again, imagine a blue rose held to a
pink sky and the reverse. Yet the colors
are the same. The only difference lies
in the proportions of the two colors.
/ remember seeing a very pretty girl
who fell into the nondescript class SIM
ply because her evening frock of pale
pink marquisette was trimmed with
wreath of forget-me-nots (around the
low neck). ending in a corSage bouquet.
The decoration was pretty. but 1t ruined
the entire toilet. No training at al
would have been better. A blue dress fin
tshed in the same way with pink rose
buds WOULD have been lovely, because the
right proportion of the two colors a.
chosen.
The same rule will apply to red anC
blue. a very smart combination The
latter must always predominant.
Blue and yellow harmonize. but are not
easy to combine successfully unless one
has a good sense of color. because the
result depends largely upon the kind oil
materials being developed AS an exam.
PIE a navy blue cloth suit with facings OF
banana shade touched up with a little
gold would be charming. At the same
