HOPE OF CONGRESS

Suffrage Measures Are
Among Those SheIved.

and the adjournment OF Congress by
August 20 was decided upon by the

nue.. workmen's compensation. corrupt
practices. Philippine self-government,
and reorganization of the Interstate
Commerce Commission bills

tons are to be voted upon next De-
cember. IL the Steering Committee finds
II probable that they cannot be COM

ment. falls on Sunday. A rush of bust
ness might develop which would make
necessary a Sunday session.

ures.

To Expedite Handling
OF Mail for Guardsmen

To facilitate the handling of mail
sent to members Of the national guard
on duty at the border. employees OF the
Postoffice Department have been ad-
vised to tie letters into bundles intended
for regiments. battalions and companies.
whenever the number of letters or
bundles warrant this.
II is believed that the number Of let
ters sent to the soldiers on the border
will necessitate some action of this kind,
and the separation from civilian mail
will make the handling OF the mail not
only easier but quicker.

About Fishes.

Fish are nearly the same weight as
the water In which they live. so that
they can move in 1t with great ease.
The majority OF them also have an air
bladder inside Of the body. which en-
ables them to go up or down In the
water at will. When IA fish desires to
go down deep it can press the air out
Of this bladder by means of certain
muscles and thus increase the weight
Of Its body, and when 1t wishes TO rise
again It takes off the pressure, the
bladder fills with air again, aud Its
body becomes light enough to rise.
