MR.. ADAMSON RESTORES
GOOD FEELING IN HOUSE
Georgian Humor Causes
Laughter as Members Squab-
BILE Over Trivial Matters.

The House Of Representatives had to
fall back on the Georgian humor of Rep
resentative Adamson of the Cracker
state shortly after noon today. when
the members began to snarl and make
faces at each other about trivial mat
tiers. such as extending remarks ION
various subjects in the Record.
It seemed that an unusually large num-
Der Of the boys had speeches to make.
and clippings from newspapers to have
printed In the back of the Record free of
charge. and all that sort Of thing.
William Schley Howard of Georgia had
q speech on bonds and postal savings
banks to deliver, and Representative FL
der Of Louisiana obtained consent to talk
for ten minutes on subjects dear to his
heart. when suddenly Representative
low-politician.. Representative Clark, of
Florida, asked to have printed in the
Record a short piece from a newspaper.
Representative Clark shook his frame
slightly and sat down with a malignant
glare at the handsome Missourian.
Not Allowed Ten Seconds.
Representative Thomson, a progressive
from Illinois, wanted to talk fifteen min

the Southern Pacific is credited with in

Smith OF Michigan. republican, once
chairman OF the District committee, want
ed a few minutes to talk. He said he'd
take ten minutes at any time at all-but
a democrat shut him up. He couldn't
even get ten seconds.
Then up rose Representative Murdoch,
tawny haired and militant
This is a one-sided affair. Two dem
ocrats get chance to talk fifty minutes
between them and then no one else is
allowed to say word. / am going to
object to everything after this, unless
some sort of fair mindedness is shown"
Ind he started off with his threat by OBJ
9ecting to some insignificant request that
requires unanimous consent Several
others asked to make speeches or to have
remarks extended in the Record.
Representative Raker, democrat, be-
lieving he could get by because he is
one of a. mighty majority. wanted to
have his views on the subject of sweet
wine and pure food extended in the Rec

FINANCES AND MARKETS
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsFATCHl

NEW YORK. March Trading was all but suspended on the stock exchange today after q drive of prices in the forenoon forced down some of leading issues several points SO. that in the last hour spirited rally eliminated tue earlier losses in some eases.
 Traders were interested chiefly in the Hartman stocks owing to the effort at the eleventh hour to put through the dissolution plan before the expiration tomorrow of the agree mcnt with the underwriting syndi- cate. A chance of further opposition from the California Railroad Com mission and doubts as to the status of the Southern Pacific under the plan confused the speculative opinion and there was a strong inclination 10 allow the market to drift. South CIn Pacific was reprcssed to 9S1-S a drop of 5S. q new low point for the long decline.
 An upturn of the market at the last hour was based on the hurried calling of q meeting of the Union Pacific board at which, according to reports on the street, the new disso- lution plan was formally ratified. London did little in this market. The restraining influence of the foreign monetary conditions was still felt. and call money was loaned up to jAa per cent The bond market was steaGicr than for some time.

THE FUTURE OF THE RIVERS


 There municipalities and private corporations have built modern term inals at the river towns and cities equipped with every device for eX- pediting and chcapening the handling of freight. Such terminals are now maintained at New orleans. where the handling charges approximate fifteen cents a ton. and. being public ly owned. they invite competition in river traffic At Davenport Rock Island, Burlington, Muscatine, and other Mississippi river ports such terminals are now practically assured and will also undoubtedly be cs- tablished at Minneapolis. The old style Mississippi river steamboat will be discarded and the freight car ritl as on continental waterways, in fleets of barges, of about one thous- and tons burden each, propelled by a power boat.
 In a few years. therefore. it is not | improbable that part of the com merce of the Great Lakes will be l diverted to q new channel and that 1 the upper Mississippi. now only oc- l casionally travelled by some old side 1 wheeler or still more antiquated l sternwheeler. will be alive with mod l ern transports bearing the wheat of 1 the prairies and the products of the | mills to the South and the coal of !

Making Sponaes Grow.

Biscayne Bay, Sugarloaf Key, An
clote Keys and Key West, on the Flor
ida coast, are the principal places in
this country where experiments in
sponge culture have been made The
various methods are as follows:
Seed sponges are cut into small
pieces, and, after having been at
tached by wiring or spindle to circu-
lar or triangular cement blocks, are
dropped or lowered depending upon
the depth to rest on the ocean bot :
tom, where they remain for year or
two, until they reach a size proper for
commercial purposes They are then
taken by the hook, when new cuttings
are attached, and the cement blocks
let down again. Another method was
to string them on a wire held hori-
zontal by stakes driven to the bottom
In doing this, however. various diff
culties arose, The sponges became
loose and rotated on the wire, enlarg-
ing the hole made through them, and
the action of the salt water corroded
and DESTROYED the wires. until after
many trials and experiments, a lead
wire with copper core was success
fully uSed.-St. Nichols.

many prominent clergy and laymen
have attended. our most recent exhi-

Believing in mental and physical
strength in Christianity. and also be-
lieving that a strong body makes a
strong body makes strong mind.
and a strong mind makes a strong
soul. heartily approve of all
manly forms of athletics for men. Be-
lieving that boxing is one of the manli-
est forms of manly athletics, | stand
heartily in favor of it. In our Bible
classes, which number membership
of over ten thousand in $40 American
churches. we primarily recommend the
study of the Bible for the moral and
mental equipment of our brothers in
Christian work, and we also recon-
mend all manly forms of athletics for
their better physical equipment. our
Bible classes have hundreds of the

LEGEND of the Chinook.

The coyote once upon a time made him.
self a dwelling place out of tall bunch
grass. 1t was in late fall and the wind
would always blow it apart. This made
the coyote very angry, so one day he de-
vsed a snare in which to trap the Offend
er. As he was fixing up the snare he
thought to himself Il will fix him
The next morning he set out to see if he
had caught the wind, writes Caleb Carter
in the Red Man in telling the legend of
his tribe the Nez Perces, regarding the
mild, snow melting winds of the north
west
Upon arriving he beheld a man with big
ears and of great stature. WELL he said,
so you are the person that has been
tearing my wigwam up, eh?' With that
he pulled his ears right and left, kicked
him on the nose and slapped him till he
had him begging for mercy
The coyote then made him promise that
he would never blow such cold stormy
winds again. But the coyote doubted his
word and again he had him begging
When the coyote would get tired he
rested All this time the wind was max
ing all kinds of promises. so at last the
COYOTE let him go. with the understand
ing that he would kill him on his next
offense
So to this day the winds on the west
side of the Rockies are warm and are
known as the Chinook winds,-New York

German Street Cleaning.

The German Government is deter
mined that its city streets shall be
clean, orderly and quiet, and it did not
wait for any social service workers or
other body of reformers to take the
initiative in the way of public mass
meetings, sensational literature or pc
tition.
The paternal and absolute hierarchy
has recently issued a ukase in the
form of new regulations for the city
of Berlin. The following are some of
the most striking provisions:
Women's dresses must be short
enough not to drag, and so raise the
dust or accumulate mud: umbrellas
and canes must not be swung or car
ried crosswise; paper, remains of fruit.
cigars and cigarettes must not be-
thrown into the street: persons must
not walk more than three abreast, or
stop on the sidewalk for any extended
period, there must be no whiStling.
singing, shrieking, shouting or loud
talking of any kind windows must be
closed when music is going on inside
building, and transfers must not drive
noisy loads of metal or other material
through the streets.

Aztec Calendar Stone.

One of the most wonderful stones to
be found on the American continent is
the great Aztec calendar stone, which
for more than a century was placed
against the tower OF the Cathedral OF
the City of Mexico and is now in the
National museum there.
The stone. according to Harpers Week
ly is a block of basalt, weighing % tons
and having a diameter of II feet. 1t Is
declared to have been made in honor OF
the sun in the reign of King Axayaeatl il
the year Is. Acatl. which corresponds to
1919 of our era. 1t was originally placed
horizontally in the Grand Temple OF
Mexico.
When the city was taken by Coftes on
Aug. IS, 1921. and the Grand Temple de-
stroyed, the calendar stone was left in
the square until Alfonso de Montufar or
dered it to be buried about 1855. curing
the repaving of the square. in 1870. the
great stone was again found and with
the sanction of the viceroy it was placed
at the base of the cathedral tower
The hieroglyphics on the diadem repre-
sent the division of time and the Mexican
method of numbering the years. The civil
year like ours. WAS of 365 days Each
four years had different emblems repeated
successfully. The first year was called
Tochtli. or rabbit the second, Acatl, or
reed; the third, Tecptal. or flint. the
fourth, Cali, or house. The years were
arranged by thiFteens, four such periods
making a Mexican age. when the festival
of fire a most important event for the
MeXicans occurred.

Late General ECkert'S Will
Broken in Son James Favor
1.-Two Sons to Share Equally.

and $4,000 outright to James Glen
DENIM Eckcrt 1t also carried a clause
to the effect that any of the legates
who contested the provisions of the
will should lose their legacies.
This provision placed Miss Johanna
Eckert the granddaughter, in a pecu
lier position. Although she testified
for her father it was conceded by the
attorneys on both sides that she was
not an active contestant and therefore
would receive her legacy if the will
was sustained. Now that it is broken
however, she loses her legacy with the
others named in the will, with the ex-
ception of the two sons. She declared
on the witness stand that her father
had promised her no reward for test
flying in his behalf.
Notwithstanding this. she seemed
overjoyed that her father had won his
case. She rushed from the room to be
the first to telephone the news to her
inNalided mother, at home in Stamford
Conn.

New York, March 5.-James Glen
DENIM Eckert succeeded, today, in his
efforts to break the will of his father,
General Thomas 7. Eckert. by which
the bulk of the generals estate esti-
mated at S1,650,000, was left to the
contestants brother. Thomas T. Eek
ert, Jr. jury in the supreme court,
which has been hearing the case, to-
day. returned a verdict in the con-
testants favor holding that the two
sons should receive equal shares.
Counsel for Thomas T. Eckert, Jr.,
announced that the case would be APP
pealed.
The contention of the contestant was
that his brother and others had eXer-
cised undue influence over the aged
General Eckert, who was formerly
head Of the Western Union Telegraph
Co.
The will provided for three requests
of $4,000 each to two nieces and a
brother of the general, the sum of
$4,000 and country estate valued
at 100000 to his only granddaughter
