TIE VOTE IN THE SENATE
PENSION OFFICES
Upper House Agrees to Stand
Firm in Behalf of
Agencies.

BY a tie vote the fight in the Senate
to abolish the seventeen pension agencies
scattered throughout the country and
combine them in Washington was today
lost in the Senate
The vote came on the motion of Senator
Shively of Indiana that the Senate agree
to the House amendments providing for
the closing up of the pension agencies
December 81 next. The democrats stood
unitedly for wiping out the agencies and
four republicans-Senators Borah of
Idaho. Crawford of South Dakota, Gronna
of North Dakota and Jones of Washing
ton-voted with them.
The vote was % to % and Senator
Bacon. president pro tempore, ruled that
the motion was lost because a majority
did not vote in it's favor. Had Senator
Bankhead of Alabama transferred his
pair, as he did on the next vote, the whole
result would have been changed and the
pension agencies abolished.
Vote on McCumber Motion.
After the fight for adjustment had
McCumber moved that the Senate insist
on its provisions for continuing the
agencies and the motion was adopted, -
that on the previous roll call, except that
Senator Stone voted with the republicans
and Senator's Gronna and Overman did
not vote.
AS Senator Bankhead arranged trans
fer of his pair for this VOTE the McCum-
Der motion would have been lost if the
lines had held firm as on the previous
roll call. In that case. the result of a
peculiar parliamentary situation would
probably have been vote to abolish the
agencies.
Goes to Conference
AS a result of tOday'S actions the pen
sion appropriation bill is sent back to
conference, and the deadlock between the
house over this question. which is re-
sulting in big deficit in the pension Of
fee that prevents the full payment of
pensions to the veterans of the Mexican
and civil wars. still exists.
Those who are in favor of abOlishing
the pension agencies have taken encour-
agement from the votes of today and ex-
press confidence that the Senate will III
timately yield to the House on this ques-
ton.
The conference representatives Of the
Senate for this second conference APP
pointed today are Senators McCumber,
Burnham and Shively.

Comparative Emotion.
Gratitude, although it may exist in

the strongest and most consuming OF

Robson sent a check for $4,000 to the
bridegroom. The comedians daughter,
Felicia Robson, who attended the we'd
ding, conveyed the gift.
"Felicia," said her father upon her
return. did you give him the check?"

"What did he say?" asked Robson.
HE didn't say anything" replied
Miss Felicia, 'but he shed tears"
"How long did he cry?"

however, whether one in 100 or 500
who notices the mark realizes its impor-

patented article for them to apply the
mark "Patented," together with the
day and year the patent was granted,

with it's unusually low temperature.
yet certain scientists who are reported
to be high authorities concerning
strength of material insist that cold
does not cause metal to become brittle
and that the idea that such Is the case
Is a popular fallacy. Among the scien-
lists holding these views are Style.
Fairbairn, Kfrkaldy. Webster, the
United States government commission
and others, but they have against them
all the practical men who have to han
die tools or material in zero weather.
It is no superstition that induced a
woodchopper to warm his ak before be-
ginning work on a frosty morning, and
it is the teaching Of experience that in
duces the trackman to tighten his
blows on his cold chisel when the tenn
pe%rature is low. and he knows it is not
necessary to cut so deeply into the rail
to be broken as it would be If the day
were warm. Civil engineers, as a rule,
have insisted that temperature makes
no difference to the resisting power of
metals, Notwithstanding that the pop
ular voice has always maintained that
metals break more readily in cold than
in warm weather.
The correctness of the popular belief
concerning metal getting brittle when
cold was INDICATED by tests made by
a member of the British Institution of
Civil Engineers some years ago. A Sc
ries of drop tests were made on axles
kept artifcially in a temperature Of
zero and on other axles Of the am
kind kept at 100 F. The results We're

It is one Of the few projects OF the

In fact, Albert not only shares the
views entertained by the late king

keen than was his uncle in his deter

Albert began to interest himself In
the question before he attained his ma
