VOLUNTEER ARMY BILL
SUPPORTERS IN SENATE
HURL BACK HOME CRY
Steering Committee, Aroused
Over Tangle, Considers Plan
1 to "Ditch" Measure for
+ Sugar Repeater
MAY TAKE ACTION TO-DAY
Military Affairs Members Oppose
Cummins' Plan for National Guard
Section of General Staff

WASHINGTON, April 5.-"Pork bar
rel' /, d large in todays fight in the
Senate : er the Chamberlain army bill.
Supporters of the Federal volunteer army
plan openly charged the opposition with
being influenced by considerations back
home"
The opposition to the Federal volunteer
army has come chiefly from the National
Guard supporters. The Guard has been
maintaining a committee in Washington to
fight the Federal volunteer army plan on
the ground that IL eventually will drive
the National Guard out of existence. The
motion to kill the volunteer army was
scheduled to come to n vote today and
the Military Affairs Committee met early
to devise plans to offer the strongest re-
sistance to the final assault against It. The
committee had hopes but not entire con-
fidence that the opposition would be de-
feated.
The debate over the army bill has de-
veloped unexpected opposition over the
National Guard issue. SO entangled has
become the question that 1t may be many
days before the bill can finally be voted
upon. In the meanwhile the Senate Steer
ing Committee is considering whether to
temporarily ditch" the army bill to make
way for the free sugar repeater, which
must be passed before May /. Unless there
is material progress on the army bill to-
day, the Steering Committee will act.
The Military Affairs Committee also was
trying today to frame plan of action to
knock out the Cummins amendment estab-
fishing national guard section of the
General Staff. This amendment Is ex-
tremely distasteful to the General Staff.

"HEIGH-HO! FOR A HUSBAND" LATEST
SONG HIT OF GIRLS AT BRYN MAWR
Tells of Lovelorn Lass Who Yearns for Mate and Will
Have One, "Yea, Even Though He Be
Young or Old"

The maiden of today, especially the
Bryn Mawr maid, is Just as fickle as in the
past. Mothers complain that the daughter
who has many pleasures often is at loss
to know just what she wants. In other
words, the worries because she has nothing
to worry about. She yearns for romance
because life is so matter of fact
II these were the days of chivalry when
men fought with swords for the smile of
fair maid all would perhaps be different.
But with the high cost of food and gaso-
line uppermost in his mind the average
mans brain Is too much taken up with
mathematics to bother about any other
kinds of figures. even though they be
feminine.
The lack of romance and the flckleress
of woman, therefore, was taken up as
timely theme by the fair students at Bryn
Mawr AS their latest addition to the new
college song book they have selected
the song" Heigh Ho for Husband"
1t tells the story of an 1s-year-old love-
Iorn girl, who sadly yearns for hus-
band. She will have one, yea, even though
he be old or young. It seems the best
gave him the ''once over" and decided
he wouldn't do, and finally asked her
mother to help her out. But it seems
the youths were an Indifferent lot and SO
her heart beat in vain.
Finally the love-sick girl figures out that
married life is not what its cracked up
to be and decided to stay an old maid.
STORY IN RHYME.
Here is the story as unfolded in rhyme:
HEIGH-Ho! FOR A HUSBAND.
There was a maid the other day
Sighed sore, God wot And she said'
But maidens they might not.
Full eighteen years have passed.
Since |. poor soul was born,
And II chance to die maid.
Apollo is forsworn.
CHORUS.
''Heigh-ho! for a husband.
HeIgh-ho! for a husband
Still this was her song,
II will have n husband, have husband,
BE he old or young"
An ancient suitor to her came,
His beard was almost gray;
Tho he was old and she was young,
She would no longer stay.
but to her mother went this maid,
And told her by and by,
That she husband needs must have
And still this was her cry;

househoiders will virtually be cents, with
an additional service charge of 1s cents n
month. In addition the minimum charge,
which formerly ranged from 81 to SO
month, Is reduced to as cents,
The agreed rate for street arcs fed
by overhead cables Is reduced from SS1
70 $71.50. This rate is a compromise that
followed long series Of conferences, the
company holding that the rate should be
SS5, while the complainants fixed $65 as
the proper figure.
These proposed rates are said to be
lower than in any large city in the East.
CONNOLLY TALKS FOR MAYOR.
One Of the first moves before the com
mission yesterday was the introduction Of
John p. Connolly. City Solicitor of Phila-
delphia. He said that the proposed rates
were acceptable to the city authorities and
that Mayor Smith had authorized him to
make the statement
All members of the board except for.
mer Governor Pennypacker were present.
Frederick W. Fleitz counsel for the cor
poration and Mr.. Lewis urged the com
mission to accept the rates agreed upon
by all parties.
Counsel for the company voluntarily
agreed before the commission to keep
the files Of the research work. so that for
the next four years they may be made the
basis for any examination work by any
complainant who protests against the
rates.

CHORUS.
'Heish-hol for a husband.
Hegh-ho! for husband"
Still this was her song,
II viii have husband have a husband,

II is hapless lot
Young maids may marry. be they gay,
- "A twclve-month is too long to bear

CHORUS.

STARS LOSE LUSTRE
This pessimstic tendency, as far as
romance is concerned is also shown by
the selection of another new number for
the college song book. 1t is called "The
Pallid Stars Are Blurring." The very
title shows what might be expected: that
even the stars have lost their lustre they
don't glitter as they used to, but look hazy
and tired.
This feeling of ennul among the girls
is due. many of them think, to the rather
disappointing spring weather It's difficult
to think of things that are bright and
CHEEKY when one sees gloomy skies and
dead leaves, and even n hesitancy about
the sprouting grass.
Some rather original stunts were in
dulged in the other night at the annual
"cut-up" of the college seniors. The hit
of the affair was frog-dance by Miss
Larie Mae Klein. Miss Emile Therese
Strauss also made quite hit In n run
ming backward stunt.

QUEER USE FOR LOCOMOTIVES

A locomotive with a S5-foot smoke
stack is being used in this city for the
compression of hay for the Allied armies
of Europe. This plant the first of its
kind, is at 9fst and Walnut streets, be-
side the Schuylkill River bridge. II went
into operation about a week ago and has
been working constantly since. orders
for $4,000 tons of hay to feed the horses
of the Allied armies have been received
by the owner of the plant, John II. Irwin,
of New York. When the site was first Sc
lected, five 50-horsepower engines were
purchased at $1,000 a piece. The Phla-
delphia Electric Company agreed to fur
nish the necessary current. When the
machinery had been adjusted and the
plant was ready for operation, the cleo
trio company informed Mr.. Irwin that, be-
cause of engineering difficulties, it could
not furnish the power. Mr.. Irwin faced
an emergency. He could install Seam
apparatus but no boilers were available.

Railroad and bought a 27.year-old loco.

EXPECT NEW ELECTRIC
SCHEDULE IN THIS CITY
TO BE APPROVED TODAY
Public Service Commission Re-
fused to Take Action on
Proposed Rates Last
Night
SECRECY MAINTAINED
No Statement as to Just What Re-
ductions Will Be Made-Cooke
Through With Case

HARRISBURG, April s. - The Public
Service Commission last night declined to
take action on the proposed new electric
light and power rating schedule for Phila-
delpha. Announcement that the commits
sloners would sit in executive session to-
day to dispose of the matter was made
after the commission heard long argu-
ments urging the adoption of the rates
agreed upon by counsel for the Philadel-
phia Electric Company and ex-Director
Cooke.
That the proposed rates, which are an
is per cent. reduction over the 1915 sched-
ules, will be approved finally was the gem
eral opinion here late yesterday, although
one or two commissioners are said to be
not exactly satisfied over the means by
which the agreement was reached.
Mayor Smiths approval Of the rates
may have some influence with the COM
mission 1t Is believed.
COOKE WILL NOT CONTEST
william Draper Lewis, counsel for
Director Cooke for the Is months the con-
troversy has been dragging announced
that whatever the decision of the board
might be the matter, so far as he and his
client were concerned, was settled.
Just as much secrecy concerning what
the new rates are has been maintained
as formerly While the saving of $780, 900
year to the city is considerable, the
larger reduction is in the rates to private
subscribers. The saving to this class
amounts, under the schedule proposed, to
between % and 40 per cent.
The general rate of 10 and 12 cents to
the small consumer is to be reduced to Q
cents for the first kilowat hours used per
month. All current used above that
amount is to be charged for 7-cent
rate until 75 ltilowat hours are consumed,
yuh ia lowered to Il cents,

Sundry Adventures.
On that night when Rowe had struck
Old Nita and she had fallen senseless
into the arms of Samuel Hill, peace
and order were long In coming to the
little Summer Garden.
When a light had been lit to dis
close the disorder of the bar. Hills
first thought was to get Nita and
himself away before the matter went
any further. A swift examination SUI

gained consciousness by the time that
Mickey had begun telephoning for the
police.
With an effort he gathered the old
woman into his arms. and after q mo-
ment or two. found himself in the
street. He extracted the old-fashioned
key from the lock, and, closing the
storm-door. fastened 1t on the outside.
But what to do next? Anxiously he
gazed up and down the deserted. snow
bound avenue. At q glance it was
plain that he could not carry Nita to
the car line. and he began, too late.
to curse the lack Of sense that had
led them SO far aneld at such an hour.
At the moment Of his despair there
emerged from the basement of one Of
the houses q little down the line the
cabby to whom the solitary remaining
vehicle before the saloon belonged.

After Q few moments he realized
that they were bound In the direction

nor once look around. And all the
time Pedro puzzled his head - to
where he had seen the fellows back
before. He became SO much absorbs4
in trying to place this person that He
could scarcely believe his eyes when
he saw the man vanish before them.
A swift glance about showed that he
was on his home block. There was
only one place into which the man
could have gone-Muldoon place!
Breaking into . run, Pedro gained the
entrance just in time to see the man
he was pursuing gain admittance to

he suddenly remembered. It was the

Then q, noise inside the room startled
him. They were coming to the door.
Evidently the woman was leaving.
