LEGISLATORS FOR THE TIME
How Newspaper Men, With the Con.
nlVanee Of the Speaker, Secured
Adjournment of House.

The speaker in almost any legisla-
tive body in America has a good deal
of power, especially if an active and
vigorous portion of the members is
with him. A writer in the Cleve-
land Leader tells how a strong COM
bination was on one occasion effect
ed in the Ohio legislature. On a
certain Thursday afternoon a circus
came to town and complimentary
tickets were scattered broadcast.
The newspaper reporters were not
overlooked, and after five or six
months of tedious work they were
naturally rejoiced at a chance to
get an afternoon off.
The speaker, too, wanted to see
the circus, and along about half past
one, when the discussion over a GER
tain bill was at its height, some one
looked at his watch and said, "Move
we adjourn"
Moved and seconded we adj
journ!" shouted the speaker. "All
in favor say aye"
All the reporters and some of the
members shouted "Aye!" Fifty of
the members cried "No!"
"The house stands adjourned 7"
said the speaker, bringing down his
gavel, and he and the l~ight-hearted
legislators marched off to the big
tents.

AMERICAS COTTON RIVAL.

A striking speech was made by Sir
William Willcocks, the other day
at Cairo, on the subject of "a Ten
Million Cantar Cotton Crop" Sir
William expressed the belief that
with rational irrigation and proper
cultivation the cotton production
would be not four, but six or seven,
cantars to the acre. He suggested
the division of the Nile delta into
blocks of 10000 acres, each having
its pumping station for securing its
proper drainage. BY such means, he
said, it would be possible to bring
the total cultivated area of lower
Egypt up to 100000 acres. In the
years 19O7-8 Egypt produced nearly
seven and a quarter cantars of cot
ton; but in 1909-10 the total produc.
ton was only a little over 5,O0O,OOC
cantars.

CALIFORNIA GIRLS AS ATHLETES.

To promote all kinds of athletics
among the women of the University
of Southern California a Sports and
pastime club" has been organized.
1t has been felt for some time that
the lack Of intercollegiate athletics
among the women students of the
university has had a tendency to
have them neglect their physical
welfare. The gymnasium classes in
a measure substituted, but a large
percentage of the girls did not take
agreeably to the indoor routine. The
newly organized club seems destined
to popularity from the start.
