HOUSE ADOPTS
TARIFF REPORT
By Vote of 254 to 103 Con-
ference Report Is
Accepted
THE BILL IS NOW
UP TO SENATE
Smith-Lever Cotton Futures
Amendment Added to
Bill in House

Washington, Oct. 1.-The Democratic
tariff revision bill left the House late
last night on what the party leader:
hoped would be its last journey to the
Senate.
After many hours of debate, the House
adopted the main conference agreement
on the bill 254 to 1903, almost a strict
party vote, and by this action gave en-
dorsement to everything in the meas
ure except the cotton futures tax.
At the end of short but bitter fight
that followed the adoption OF the report,
Representative Underwood succeeded in
carrying through the Smith Lever cot
ton futures tax amendment III to l6l.
Democrats and Republicans alike vot-
ed on this without regard to party
lines and large portion of the Demo
cratic membership from the southern
states joined in a vigorous demand that
the whole subject be carried over to
another session of Congress.
The cotton futures tax question now
rests entirely with the Senate,
The House concurred in the Clarke
amendment put into the tariff bill by
the Senate, but added the Smith-Lever-
Underwood plan as another amendment.
Unless the Senate will accept this
change. which has the endorsement of
the president, the whole cotton futures
plan will again have to be considered
in the joint conference committee and
again be reported to both houses OF
Congress for action.

The Homestead Law.

The 320-dcre homestead law, mas nhue
possible the entry of many million acres
of dry land in the western states in
tracts double the size allowed under the
original homestead law. Only land
which has been designated by the sec
rotary of the interior as "non-irrlsabie
can be entered under this act. More
than 200. 00Q, 900 acres have been thus des-
ignatcd. but petitions and sworn state
ments requesting further lesignations are
constantly being received.
The first enlarged homestead act was
approved February 49, 1909, and as later
amended provides that in the states OF
Arizona, California. Colorado, idaho,
Montana. Nevada. New Mexico. North
Dakota, Oregon, Utah, Washington ana
Wyoming any person who is qualified to
make entry under the homestead laws
may enter as much as 800 acres OF pub
lie land which is in n reasonably com
pact body and in non-mineral, non
irrigable, unreserved. and unapproprlat-
ed and does not contain merchantaple
timber Before such entry can be made.
however, the land must be designated
by the secretary of the interior as not
being. in his opinion. susceptible OF
successful irrigation at reasonable
cost from any known source of water
supply. -
The work of classifying the lands ana
determining what areas may be regard
ed as non-lrrigable has been assigned
by Secretary Lane to the United States
geological survey. Although. under the
present ruling of the secretary, large
areas may be designated as non-irrgaple
without raising the question whether the
land Is in other respects subject to home
stead entry. the work of examining and
classifying these large areas necessarily
proceeds rather slowly. In addition to
these so called blanket" designations,

BoDVs RESISTANCE TO HEAT.

The human body can stand far
greater heat if it be dry than il it
be wet. Strangely enough, it can
stand far hotter liquids inside than
out. For example, the average tea
drinker sips tea at a temperature of
about 40 degrees sometimes as high
as 1i5 degrees. But he can not hold
his hand in water that is 100 de-
grees or his feet in water higher than
liz degrees. Few persons can stand
u bath in water at los degrees.
In parts of Central America men
live in an average temperature of 115
degrees in the shade and 140 degrees
in the sun, while ISL degrees has been
registered In the Persian gulf the
thermometers on ships vary between
122 degrees and t40. n recent eXplor-
er in the Himalayas reports that he
