OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
SUM WILL EXCEED ALL APPRo'
PRIATIoNS OF FORMER
YEARS.
Unusually Large Appropriation Will
Be Necessary at Short Session
of Congress.

Washington. - Appropriations OF
nearly $20O,000000 for pensions to vet
Grams of American wars will be nee.
essary at this session of congress.
The unusual sum, exceeding all appro'
priations of former years, will be nee
esesary to make up deficit of nearly
500 100000 resulting from the increase
of pensions by the Sherwood bill last
winter and the prOportionate increase
of the general pensions authorized by
this act.
Estimates by members of congress
made indicate the regular pension bill
probably will carry about $l75,OOO,OOO
This in itself will be record breaking
total, as the Sherwood law materially
increased many pensions. 1t has no
yet been determined whether the de
felt of approximately $2O,0O000o will
be added to the regular appropriation
| bill or put into some other measure
The pension bureau has enough mon
| ey for the present, but will run shor
between March and July l, whel
the new fiscal year begins, unleess i
gets the extra $20,O00,000.
Unexpected support has appeared
among returning members of the sen
ate for a bill to remove the presen
| limitation upon the pensions Il
widows of veterans. The law nov
gives no pension to a widow who mar
ried her soldier husband after Jul,
p, 1890.

Park Seats to Make Money.

San Jose, Cal, is trying in its park
a bench devised by E. w. Allen for
use in connection with the free seats.
1t is a swinging seat so arranged that
until nickel is deposited in slot,
the back is tilted forward and the seat
downward, so that 1t can not be used
A coin releases it, however, and pro
vides a rocking seat for two persons.
AS soon as they leave the seat swings
back to its former position, and re-
quires another nickel to unlock it. In
sunny places the bench Is placed uh-
der a canopy. The inventor believes
that on Sundays and other times,
when there are unusual crowds in the
park, many people will be willing to
spend a nickel for a comfortable seat
for their exclusive use.-The Survey,

Headache Natures Policeman.

Headache is natures policeman for
the body, according to DR.. George w.
Grille of Cleveland, who lectured on
pain, Laughter and Crying" at the
College of Physicians.
"If it were not for the warning head
ache, notifying the body to rest, to
fast, to reject food already in the stom-
ach, incalculable harm might be done
the system through the progress of in
fictitious diseases, auto-intoxication and
the like"
He declared that pain, laughter and
crying were the result of motor excita.
tions, and that they were caused by
disturbances in the cellular structure
of the brain. Curiously, he pointed
ont, brain tissue itself is incapable of
feeling pain, and a patients ganglionic
or nerve centers might be cauterized
or eXcised without any sensation OF
pain North American.

62ND CONGRESS
NOW IN SESSION
THERE ARE SCORES OF IMPORT
ANT MATTERS THAT MUST
BE CONSIDERED.
ARCHIBALD WILL BE TRIED
Impeachment Proceedings Expected
to Be Spectacular - Members
Slow in Arriving.

Washington.-The expiring sixty
second congress assembled for it final
work of legislation. In the brief pc
Rod remaining before constitutional
limitations bring it to an end ana
turn many of its members back lnIo
private life, fifteen appropriation bills
carrying over one billion dollars Tor
the support of the government, must
be passed; the impeachment OF Judge
Archibald of the commerce court
must be tried in the senate; many in
vestigating committees must con
clude inquiries and make their re-
ports; and scores of legislative mat
tiers must be disposed of.
Throughout the session, attracting
as much attention as the actual work
of legislation, will run the prepare
tory work for the extra session, to
be called soon after President-elect
Wilson takes office March 4.
Committees pursuant to this will
thresh out questions of tariff, curren-
cy and antitrust legislation, aiming
to have democratic policies shaped,
and democratic plans made, before
the new administration comes into
power.
1t is assured, say the legislative
leaders, that there will be no tariff
legislation this winter. Neither is it
expected that the currency OF anti
trust problems will receive much at
tention in the house or senate, the
principal work of the session being
confined to preparation for the Demo
cratic administration and the enact
ment of some of the more important
bills pending on the calendars
Important bills to receive attention
include the bill for a department OF
1 labor: the Sheppard-Kenyon bill pre-
venting shipments of liquor into dry
states; the Page bill, to give Fedora
aid to vocational and agriculture
schools, and the resolution for a con
stitutional amendment limiting pres
| ident to a single term of six years
! These measures have all been debated
| before both houses, and have reached
| the point where action of some kline
upon them is expected.
