moral support of Judge Weeks and his

but between these trips, with their
clothes and shoes by their bedside, these
boys are at liberty to get up and leave
| the building at any time, restrained only
by their sense OF honor. The girls cot
tages are as open as those of the boys.
During 10 weeks OF the year 1916 the
sixth cottage was run wide open, al
though it is not intended that that
should be so. When two boys presumed
to leave that cottage it was closed again,
but OF the five cottages just spoken Of,
containing from 40 to 240 children at
different times during the year only two
helied their claim TO honor by leaving
the dormitory during the night.
The spirit of cooperation is present to
the extent that, during the year of con
structon succeeding the fire, when new
buildings were being built, the boys and
officers beside doing the ordinary school
work earned $4,000 from the contractors
and completed construction work, the la
Dor cost of which was estimated by con
tractors at over $1,000, Some of the
most competent judges in the United
States of institutions of this type visited
the school during the last year. Their
statements on leaving it were most fiat

policies and managed its affairs.

Remarkable Reptiles.

During the time of deposition of the
clays constituting the Morrison shale in
southern Colorado there existed a great
variety of remarkable reptiles of huge
size. Their bones, which are in places
abundant, are the remains of animals
that were mired in the soft clay of which
the Morrison formation largely consists.
Some of these creatures, such as the
Brontosaurus, were 60 feet long. Many
of them had remarkably small heads,
notably the Stegosaurus, which had so
tliminutive brain that it must have been
very stupid. This animal was undoubtedly
very clumsy also, but its huge size and
protective armor aided in its preserva-

Washington, Aug. administration
Senate leaders, confronted by the deter.
mination of Senator owen TO press his
corrupt practices bill at this session OF
Congress, made an agreement with the
Republicans which they believe will clear
way for passage of the shipping and
revenue bills, now temporarily blocked.
II was agreed that Senator owen might
move to take up his bill at any time,
and that enough Democrats would vote
with the Republicans TO defeat it.
For hours Thursday, while the ship
ping bill was being discussed in mono
tones to empty seats, Democratic and
Republican leaders consulted over the
legislative deadlock Ii was said that
enough Democratic promises to oppose
Senator Owens motion had been secured

" desire. postponement of action on
the Owen bill until the next session. A
vote on the shipping bill probably will
be permitted by the Republicans to-day
under this agreement.
The days developments had served to
renew hope for an early adjournment OF
Congress when advocates of the immi
grafton bill injected a new disturbing
feature. Senator Borah. in the course of
a speech on the shipping bill, referred to
the need for immediate immigration leg

revolt. Senator Hardwick announced
that it was the intention of Chairman
Smith of the immigration committee to
