tngton.-Congress is preparing
to complete It's program OF financial
preparedness with every indication
ehat appropriations this session will
aggregate considerably more than a
billion and half dollars, at last half
billion of which will be for national
defense.
According to estimates based on
figures compiled by Chairman Fltz-
gerald, Of the House Appropriations
Committee, and increases put into
pending measures by senate commit
dees, the grand appropriation total
may reach $1,650, 100000 exceeding by
more than $5OO,OOO,OOO the record Of
any previous congress.
Last week Representative Fitzger.
aid submitted statement to the
House showing that the grand total
for the present Congress based on bills
passed and pending, would reach near
ly $1,500,0O0000 Since then the Sen.
ate Naval Committee has added near.
ly $50.000,000 to the naval bill, and
the military committee has increased
the $182.000.000 army appropriation
measure by approximately 100000.

defense more than $622,0OO,0O0. There
Is every indication that the senate
will accept the major part OF the pro
posed army and navy increases but
conferences probably will pare some
OF them down.
The senate plans to take up the
naval bill as soon as the agricultural
bill Is out Of the way probably within
a few days. The big building pro
gram for 1917 and the provision for g
three-year construction policy plbb

weeks. Meantime the army bill will
come from committee and an effort
may be made to pass it as soon as il
is ready, setting aside the naval bill
temporarily.

EXPLAINS THE
AGREEMENT ON
PAYMENTS
CARTER SPEAKS ON STIPULA-
TIoNS OF INDIAN TREATY-SA-
LENT POINTS REGARDING THE
MONEY.

Washington, Feb. "a complete eX-
planation of the treaty stipulations up
on which the ChOctaw and Chickasaw
per capita payments in the Indian ap-
preparation bill are based was made
TO the house of representatives by rep
resentatiye Carter during the general
debate on that measure, which ended
today. There were two salient pro
visions in the Atoka agreement of 1898
and the supplemental agreement OF
1902, he said, which were adopted both
by the government and the Indians.
one of the agreements was pledge
to close the rolls and that no person
should participate in the tribal estate
unless he was enrolled. The other
was that the tribal moneys should be
distributed by March 1907, and a sale
made of all the property not allotted.
"Unless the provision had been in
serted for a payment of the tribal
moneys, neither the Atoka agreement
nor the supplemental agreement would
have been approved by the indians" "
said Mr.. Carter. Not one vote would
have been cast by the Indians in IA
vor of the compacts. They were sol
emn agreements on the part of the
federal government with those Indian
tribes"
lie also showed that there were
eleven benefits in the agreement, nine
of which were for the white settlers
and two for the Indians, they being the
ones mentioned The government had
closed the rolls, he said, but congress
was being importuned every session
to reopen them. The agreement to dis.
tribute the tribal money, however, had
been ruthlessly disregarded.
Representative Hastings made a
speech on the Mississippi Choctaws
who are claimants for tribal participa
tion, and told how the question OF
their rights had been five times adjudi
Gated, one time being by the supreme
court of the United States. In every
| instance, he said, the decision haC
been against the Mississippi claimants

A cold is really a fever, not always
caused by the weather but often dueto

WHEN THINGS WERE NOT
WHAT THEY SEEMED

About the best piece of vaudeville"
ever Witnessed in any of the Ard
more theatres was pulled off on a
number of the sports of the younger
set who, somehow, have learned (not
at school, that 10 be a stage-door
Johnnie was about the most fascina-
ting thing that ever entered the lives
of those whose daddies are able to
own a bank account, and a flock of
automobiles.
One afternoon last week, when a
local theatre advertised that the most
fascinating thing ever in skirts would
appear at the house in a series of
historic Egyptian dances and Oriental
poses. When the photos of the "Great
Unoido," or whatever cognomen the
act was billed under, were placed on
exhibition, it was found that she pos
sessed all the charms with which
generous press had endowed her,
and then some. In addition, she was
made to look very, very young. There
fore, before the hour for the doors
to open arrived the word had gone
forth that there was something "real
classy" at the - theatre that
would bear investigation.
This thought, no doubt, was prompt
ed by the memory of a "peachy
blonde" who had gone before, and
who left several heartaches behind,
and those who possessed the afore-
said aches figured that if they could
no longer love the one who was dear,
they must accept the inevitable and
love the one who was near, and took
a chance on giving her the once
over" from the very front seats of
this popular playhouse.
While laying their plans, it Glanced
they were overheard by one who has
little patience with "stagedoOr John
nies" in general, and especially the
species that infest "tank towns" in
particular, and, being wise" to this
great dancing artist, framed it to
give the rhinestone sports the time
of their lives.
When the hour for her appearance
arrived, they were all there. An ordi-
nary human being could not have
obtained a front seat for any amount
of money. Her appearance was the
signal for an outburst of applause
that would make an Egyptian mummy
warm to its work.
The act progressed swimmingly, the
artist being showered with applause,
to which she expressed her acknow-
ledgment in gracious smiles to the
Village Cut-Ups in the front row and
to on one else. She was preparing
to receive bouquets, and several notes
from the front row were in prepara-
ton, when the act came to a sudden
ending, in a blaze of vari-colored
lights. "Unoido" had made hit and
especially with that exclusive circle
of young Ardmore sports who were
trying to make a hit with her.
In acknowledging thanks for the
