The latest addition is the Senator

Y. He is one of the ~ery few Amer
lean members of the Royal Academy
of Rome. He probably knows how to
bring marble block to life as well as
yielding stone and then loved her so
hard the marble turned into real girl.
However. he seemed to have failed
to live up to the realistic when it came
to creasing Senator Rice's trousers.
The latest criticism comes from Maj.
James A. Abbott of Crovidence, r. l.,
a special employe of the United States
Senate. who was gazing upon the mar
BILE trousers a few days ago:
THE artist has given the senator
when. in fact in the days that the sem
ator lived. no one was ever seen in
creases. If you had been found with
your trousers creased like that, the nat
ural supposition would have been that
you had just picked up pair of hand
me-downs in a readynade shop (Which
was disgrace in those days. and that
you had not had tim. 20 iron out the
creases made by pil;ng the breeches
one on top of the other on the shelf"
All Of which is probably very true.

thing to worry about.

for merchant ships is not unjustif1ed.

Inkwells and Paperweights Used as
Arguments in Election
Bill Debate.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, February
19.-Tumultuous scenes occurred in the
Oklahoma house of representatives late
yesterday while the members were vot-.
ting on a section of an election law de-
signed to take the place of the famous
grandfather law" which recently was
declared unconstitutional by the United
States Supreme Court because in effect
it disenfranchised the negro population
of the state.
Partisan feeling over the new meas
ure finally eliminated in Il near riot,
precipitated by charges of corruption
and the passing of the lie betw cen
members, during which ink bottles and
paperweights were used as weapons.
A serious ARRAY seemed inevitable as
democrats massed and advanced toward
the republicans and socialists. Arthur
H. Geissler, chairman of the republican
state central committee, was knock ed
down and rendered unconscious by Rep
resentativc Lors E. Bryant of Big
Heart, Usage county.

The lecturer displayed a number Of
photographs which showed the violent
activity of matter on the surface of the
sun. The internal temperature of this
body he gave as 100000 degrees
Fahrenheit, and the surface tempera-
ture as only 5000 degrees.
ct is marvellous what people can SEQ
when they only look hard enough"
Mr.. Baumgardt said. touching upon the
controversy to whether Mars eX-
hibits lace-work of canals. and
whether these canals prove that the
neighboring planet is inhabited, and
whether these inhabitants are humans
like ourselves.
The lecturer maintained that there
is nothing that shows on photographs
made by the highest-powered modern
telescopes of Mars that bears a COM
vincing resemblance to canals. Tit
people who wish. he went on, first see
the canals on Mars, then decide that
they were built to carry water from
the Marian poles to irrigate land in
the central belts, and, finally, deduce
from all this that the planet must be
inha bited by race of human engi-
