With General Approval.

Washington, March 16.-The inter
state trade commission bill, bearing
the approval Of President Wilson and
Attorney General M%cReynolds, was
made public today following many
conferences among the members Of
the house interstate committee. The
Democrats expect this to command
substantial Republican support and an
effort probably will be made soon to
bring about concerted action between
the senate and house on this phase
Of the administration program OF
commerce regulation and antitrust
legislation.
The new bill was unanimously
agreed upon by It's trainers, a sub
committee OF Democrats and Republi.

by practically the full committee.

sible to obtain the vote for women
by a constitutional amendment. He
predicted that after fifteen years OF

"You will never carry the required

Neither, said Miss Taft, should we

that the country should be place
spiritually beautiful to live in. In this
work of making country life attrac-

community, the farm woman can
make good use of the Ladies Aid So
ciety, both as help to church in its
mission work and as a home and
neighborhood improvement club,
where the individual needs of neigh
borhood and of its members them
selves could be discussed add plans
laid for meeting them. The country
woman can be a wonderful influence

upon the sure-footed, swift, enduring
and patient mule. The Cossacks did
not pursue Napoleon from Moscow on
the backs of mules, nor did the men
of Marion and Sumpter, Stuart or
Sheridan win their victories astride
the progeny of a jack. The Crusaders
panoplied in full armour, fought Sala-
din and his Emirs over the dry and
arid dusty deserts of Palestine mount
ed upon Norman and Arabian horses.
Armies trust live weight to horses,
dead weight to mules.
Endurance OF iIOrses.
1t is of record that horses without
food or water have been ridden from
Z a. m one morning until A a. m. the
next, showing no distress.
Abd-el-Kader reports that an Arab
ian can travel for months at a rate or
60 miles day and if hard pressed can
go 100 miles in day. That on one
occasion he rode his entire command
across the sands for 6 hours at gal
lop without stopping for breath. And
again, on an excursion lasting 25 days
the horses of his command had but s
feeds, no straw and very little grass
and were without water for three
days. These are hard recorded facts
which cannot be denied.
Horses Can Pull More Than Mules
Where speed and endurance or car
rying qualities are required, the mule
is never called upon in hot climates
Can he draw more? In New Orleans
a four-in-hand hitch of mules is at
tached to a load such as pair of coal
wagon horses draw from the Loop 70

used on load that two common Iiwa
