SHIPPING BILL MAY GO
INTO DISCARD AGAIN
Congress Wants to Adjourn Au-
gust 10, and Long Debate
Won't Permit This
By a sto6 Correspondent

WASHINGTON. July s.--whether the
total appropriations for this session Of Con-
grsss, which are certain to be more than
$1,000, 900 900. will be increased by o,ooo,-
900 depends upon the ability Of the Demo
cratic Senator'S to agree on the provisions
Of the Administration shipping bill.
The sibcommittee Of the Commerce Com
mittee, having the bill in charge, has failed
to reach an agreement on several important
features, 80 has decided to report the meas
ure to the full committee Thursday with
out recommendation.
Some members of Congress are inclined
TO believe tho shipping bill will be thrown
out for the session to make possible an ad-
journment by August 10. In order to get
an adjournment on March for the last
session OF Congress. the shipping bill was
thrown Into the discard. II is realized that II
the shipping bill Is taken up in the Senate
now II will mean a long debate and delay
of adjournment at time when members
of Congress are anxious to get into their
campaigns for reelection.
Bills passed and favorably reported by
the various committees show that the APP
propriations for the present session Of Con-
gress will be at least a half-billion dollars
larger than any preceding Congress. The
appropriations, according to estalmates
made by Representative John j. Fitzgerald,
chairman OF the House Appropriations Com
mittee, will total approximately S1,65O,-
100000. At least S500,o00,0O0 OF this
amount will be for preparedness. The navy
bill, as amended by the Senate Committee,
now carries ss15,s2s,s43, and the army
bill approximately S2S2, 900. 900. 1t is con-
stdered certain the Senate will accept all
the increases and that, the House will
agree to most of them. A S25, 5,oO0, 900 forti-
fcations bill has passed both Houses.
While the House has Dagsed virtually all
the big annual appropriation bills. there is
still a desire on the part of tho Public
Buildings and Grounds Committee TO put
through an omnibus postofflce bill OF at least
$25 100000 before adjournment That meas
ure Is about to be reported to the House.

Importance than both of these Is the high

ton Association, in his address convening

subject was specifically the rural home
and the farm woman" and he urged that the

Vansant tried to get TO shore with the
Jaws Of the shark clutching his leg. In the
shallow water persons on shore saw the
man eaters fin and ran to help him. Led
by Alexander Ott a champion swimmer
and member Of the American Olympic
team they drove the shark of and carried
its victim to the beach. His leg had been
torn from the thigh to the knee Physi-
clans were called at once, but he died an
hour and half later.

PICNICS TO KEEP FOURTH
SANE IN NORTHWEST
Bible and Church Glasses Will Parade
at Start of Days Fun

The celebration of Independence Day
In Manayunk, Roxborough and Wissahickon
will follow out the traditions of 25 years
In being safe and sane.
Back In 1881 Samuel Lawson, OF York.
shire. England, who had settled in Mana
yunk three years before, thought It would
be fine thing to celebrate the Fourth by
holding picnic Of the Bible School of the
Fourth Reformed Church, with which he
was associated. That started II and since
then the picnic habit has grown so out in
the extreme northwest of Philadelphia that
now virtually all the Bible schools in the
district have contracted It. Tomorrow they
VIII take their members out into the open
country for quiet, outdoor celebration.
Other schools were not slow In following
this example and frequently held q parade
preceding the picnic. Seven years ago tho
Executive Committee of the Epiphany Luth-
eran Bible School conceived tho idea of
holding n combined parade of the Bible
schools of the district and q committee
was appointed to confer with the pastors
and superlntendents OF the several Bible
schools. AS a result an organization was
formed, the officers of which now are j.
Harry Stephan, president; William Eddie
man, vice president, and Horace MacFad-
yen, secretary. II. F. Wynne is chief mar
shall.
The churches which will participate In
the parade tomorrow are Lexington Pres
byterian, Gallllee Baptist (negro), Fourth
Reformed. RoIborough Baptist, Central NJ.
T., Grace Lutheran, Ebenezer NJ. E.. Epiph-
any Lutheran, Talmage Reformed and the
Bethany Lutheran.
The parade will form at Manayunk and
Eyceum avenues at 7:45 n. M, and move
east Lyceum avenue to Ridge avenue
The first eight Bible schools will move north
on Ridge avenue to various picnic grounds
and the other two will go south. Each
school will have band.
