his trip through the Middle West
making series Of speech in answer

on February 20 to attend birthday
dinner.
Mr.. Bryan said he wauld make a

his references to preparedness would
be along the line of the address he
delivered last fall The dates for his
speeches, Mr.. Bryan said. were ar
ranged before it was announced that
Mr.. Wilson would make his speak

TO SPEED UP LEGIs


Washington, Jan. 25.--Agitation
for greater congressional activity on
the administration legislative pro-
gram received new impetus today
when President Wilson asked Major

tol, and made arrangements for dis
cussing the subject with other lead
ers of both houses tomor row. The
President is anxious that Congress
flash It's work and adjourn in June
before the political conventions.
The out standing features Of the
Legislative program for the next few
months, as Mr.. Kitchin forese IS them
are:
A tariff commission bill will be re-
ported by the ways and means COM
rnittee.
No revenue measure is likely to be
reported until after the military and
naval committees bring in their bills
This may be weeks or months.
No new waterways projects. and
no public building bills will be con-
:, sidered.
An nti-dumping clause for The
tariff law may be reported later.
In addition the shipping bill and
the Philippine bill are expected by
other congressional leaders to attract
much attention.
Senate committees contrib buted tc

skirts did some seasons back. From
belt to hem in back, the skirt was
stiffened with haircloth, causing the
fullness to fall in several outstaning
folds. At the involuntary upward
and downward glance she induced,
one expected to see a pair of ex-
tremely nigh French heels on silver
buckled slippers, or a high-crowned
f1ower-trimmed chapeau.
AS the small person continued on

the skirt swung in true, hcop-skirt

has not the time to indulge in, the
