Madame Jouven's is in the very
heart of the Latin quarter 1t is a
dingy building with a faded striped
awning which shades the tables out
side and with low-ceilinged rooms
and sawdust floors within. The small
round tables are placed so close that
Madame JOuVen and her three daugh-
tcrs who serve you, can hardly squeeze
through.
Although it was only half past six,
every table on the terrace was taken.
"Oh, how quaint Look. the walls are
all covered with sketches" exclaimed
Helen as one of Madame JOuven's
daughters led them inside. Quaint
enough" grumbled Warren. But I'm
mighty skeptical about these places
where they serve dinner for only two

Helen told him OF Marion's studies

Warren was never IN sympathy with
careers for women. He thought
their place was in the home and never
lost an opportunity OF saying so.
"Oh, there's Marion now eagerly,

AGRICULTURE Dept.
House Committee Working
on Bill Providing I'm

Washington, January Reorganization
of the department of agriculture by abol-
ishing all of the present IS bureaus and
substituting four or five large offices is
contemplated in provision carried in the
agriculture appropriation bill which the
House committee on agriculture almost
has completed. While details are left to
Secretary Houston, he and Representative
Lever, chairman of the committee, have
conferred over the plan for readjusting
the work of the department to eliminate
all lost energy that possibly can be cor
rected. The only obstacle to the concen-
tration plan is the possibility of objection
on the ground that the provision con-
stitutes new legislation that cannot be
carried in an appropriation bill
The readjustment is expected to include
the concentration of divisions into four
groups each under a single official, as
follows:
Regulatory or quarantine work. dealing
with insecticides, meat inspection, etc.
Scientific and research work, to COM
prehend everything that comes under
those general heads.
Demonstration or extension work for
farmers, which is TO be radically eX-
panded
Administration, to handle the depart
ment executive affairs. including the Of
fices of the secretary and assistant, chief
clerk and disbursing officer and similar
officials.
The agricultural bill also will carry an
appropriation that will reach close to the
$4,000 asked by Secretary Houston. for
acquiring and diffusing information on
subjects connected with the marketing
and distribution of farm products, a
project initiated by Chairman Lever. For
farm demonstration Secretary Houston
asked $37S,000 and for farm management
$4,000. For eradication of hog cholera
$4,000 is sought.

Il can only reply to these questions by
asking that you consult by record. You
can obtain any information you want by
writing to your representative in Con-

''These statements are UNANIMOUSLY false,

friends, I am satisfied to stand on my

in the campaign--a question of record
and | ask that you judge me on that
basis
The democratic leader will find himself
engaged with much important legislation
during the present session of Congress-
Chief among the bills to come before
Congress is a measure looking to agri-
cultural extension This measure will
affect the entire country and will be
of great advantage to the farmer.
Another bill is proposed looking to the
establishment of a system of rural credits
-one of the greatest measures ever pro-
posed for the protection and aid of the
farming class.
Good roads-rather government aid
roads-will also come up for considera ton
at this session of Congress. and Mr.. Tn
derwood will champion the party in its
efforts TO secure the passage of that bill.
Other bills to come before Congress are
measures to provide additional antitrust
legislation and the workman's compensa-
ton bill.
Most of these bills look to the protection
OF the agricultural and laboring interests
of the country. and Mr.. Underwood. as
the party leader, will lind himself busily
engaged during the next few months.
Th3 consideration of these important
measures will demand Mr.. Underwood S
entire time, and it will prevent him from
returning to Alabama during the re-
mainder of the campaign for senator
1t is all a question of record, of past
service, according TO the democratic lead
er, and, in carrying out his pledges to the
big party he represents, will remain on
his job in Washington.

Question of Mule Tracks

When the case was reversed after hav-

before the supreme court it was rversed
ana sent back for another trial solely be-
cause a witness, after describing certain
Pee uliarities of tracks made by defend
ants mule had testified before the trial
court that the tracks found in the road
near the scene of the tragedy were SIM
liar to those made by the defenrant' s
mule.
In the opinion of the supreme court this
was sufficient to authorize the setting
aside of the verdict of the jury and the
ordering of new trial of the case, after
it had been twice tried at great expense
to the people.
II is estimated that this case has cost
the taxpayers of the state over $5000
1t is cases like this that make the people

ealities of the law and the consequent
large expense to the taxpayers.
