petitions to take this action. The
purpose of the extra session would be
mainly to pass a law giving the boys
who are absent in army duty along
the Mexican border a chance to vote
without coming home. In 1862 this
very thing was done by the state Of
Minnesota.
Commissioners Were Appointed.
Commissioners were appointed wnC

these commissioners went around
found the boys, and got them to cast
their votes. Each vote was handed
over to the judges of election of the
boys own home precinct.
Another purpose of such an extra
session would be to appropriate mon
ey for the relief of families dependent
on guardsmen, who are absent OF
military duty. 1t is believed that the
extra session, if it takes place at all
will be held in September.

Cambridge, Mass, May A-Harvard
seniors are wearing women's gowns on
the college campus during the month pre-
ceding graduation, according to an eek
pose" written by DR.. Frederick Schenck.
Of the Harvard faculty. He asserts that
the Mother Hubbard gowns of the seniors
were first worn in 1892, when the women's :
model was used. because no academic
robes were then manufactured for men.
The custom has been adhered to blindly
by all succeeding graduating classes, and
the gowns worn by the present senior
class only signify that some feminine
relatives of the men hold bachelors de-
grees. DR.. Schenck asserts.
