APPROPRIATION
BILL IS PASSED
JUNKETlNe COMMITTEES DURING
THE RECESS COSTS STATE
MORE THAN $4,000.
REGULATE HUNTING IN STATE
Bill Passes Prohibiting Use Of Dyna-
mite, Poison and Other Devices
BY Fishermen In Reefoot
Lake-2O Ducks a Day.

Nashville.-The senate, in approx.
ing the miscellaneous appropriation
bill, voted an increase in legislative
expense of approximately $4,000 over
the expense of two years ago, One Of
the reasons is that there was an enor-
nous junketing committee expense
this year. This item alone amounts
to more than $4,000.
Before the recess a joint resolution
was adopted that the expense should
not be more than $3.50 day-that is,
the per diem Of 81 and $3.50 for ex-
penses. However, the senate voted to
allow SO a day. This meant an in.
crease Of more than $4,000.
The per diem and mileage of the SO
representatives amounts to $4,000,
and OF the senators $4,000. Each
speaker is given an extra $500. The
senate spent $4,000 for engrossing
clerks and the house about the same,
total of more than $4,000 for this
item. For clerks and doorkeepers and
sergeant-at-arms the expense is 49,.
600, since the chief clerks are allowed
$4,000 extra for handing the journal
over to the printer, as Gov. Rye says.
An interesting item is that the house
pays out $1,000 for porters, while the
senate pays $1,000. There are about
% engrossing clerks in each house.
Each of the junketing committees
sat Is days, and there we're IL of the
committees. Some Of them did valu-
able work for the state. For instance,
Senator Rocks education committee
and the finance committee.
Regulating of hunting and fishing
on Reelfoot lake, which is now the
property of the state, is fixed in the
act which passed the senate.
Among It's provisions we find that
hunters and fishermen may not dyna-
mite, poison or catch fish in the lake
except by pole and line, trotline or in
certain kinds Of baskets; that April
/ to June / shall be a closed season;
that all hunting and fishing must be
done between 8 o'clock in the morning
and 4 o'clock in the afternoon; that
game fish may be caught only with a
hook and line, and that hunters may
not kill more than 20 ducks in one
day. The bill also fixes the tax for
hunters and amateur and professional
fishermen.

New Neckwear.

On ultra-fashionable gowns, collars
do not stand up or turn over; they
simply do not exist. While every
woman may not accept this verdict, it
is well that she should know about it.
If she wears collars she must re-
member that the neck line is always
fiat. The square cape collar is GU! Of
fashion. Whenever a collar is bored
at the back today it must be pulled
down snugly to the front, so that the
material never leaves the neck.

Honolulu.-The United States flag
has been hoisted for the first time
over the residence of former Queen
Liliuokalani. BY this sign the ex-

United States since the annexation OF
the islands territory has been gradual
ly mellowing, expressed her sympathy
with America in its martial stand
against Germany.

IN shapes They prove how much we

} simplest and humblest headwear by
interpretations of their own into hats
of irresistible charm.
AT the right the summary and flow
cry hat is made of fine black hair

is covered with tiny forget-me-nots in
several colors and the brim edge is
softened by little black silk balls, set

no particular reason for joining forces
with the hat, except that the designer
chose to put them where they are.
AT the left fascinating coolie shape
is made Of silk in deep orange color

satin. Silk cords and twin tassels, orig

find themselves very much at home as
a decorations for this model. About
the edge small orange-colored sticks,
make a finish that is unique.
The little turban is of black llsere

Saturday, Earliest Day Possible for
 Selection of National Army is Pres-
 ent Indication from Washington.
 Washington, July 16.-On the basis uf advices today from various states where the organization work of the exemption boards has not been com pleted, war department officials said the drawing for the army selective conscription hardly could be held be- fore Saturday at the earliest.
 The burden of responsibility for hastening the first drawing of men for the new national army today rests entirely on state and local authorities. The government has completed it's work, but the failure in some sec tions \to complete organization of exemption boards and finish the se- rial numbering of the registration cards is causing delay.
 Many precincts reported to Provost Marshal General Crowder that local exemption machinery is complete, but there are still many isolated districts to be heard from. War department officials were hopeful that the work would be finished within the next few days so that the draft lottery may be presented before the week end.

NITRATE PLANTS WILL.
 BE CONSTRUCTED SOON
Government to Obtain Pro- duet from Atmosphere
 Four Million the Cost.

Washington, July 16.--Secretary Baker announced today plans for pro- auction of nitrate from atmospheric nitrogen would be constructed inc mediately at a cost of about $4,OOO.- 900 and that water power would not be used. Sites have not been select ed.
 Further discussion by localities de- slrlng to be considered as possible sites is closed temporarily, the an- nouncement says, while the site com mlttee is making further engineering studies.
 E 1t has been assumed ever ince the great nitrate project was proposed that vast supply of water power would be needed. Consequently sites with water power would be needed. Consequently sites with water power have been supposed to be the only ones likely to get consideration. Mus sel shoals of the Tennessee river was one of the places most prominently urged during the debates in congress.
 Congress appropriated $20,00O,00 for the project. Apparently the entire expenditure contem plated by the war department is one-f1fth of sum.
 Secretary Bakers statement fol- lows:
 By direction of the president, cer- tain plants will be immediately con- structed for the production of nitrate from atmospheric nitrogen. The plants to be constructed do not in volve the use of water power, but use a process which is a modification of processes previously known, and the total expenditure involved in these projects is about $4,00O,000.
 Nothing further can be said at this time about the process or the loca- tion of the works which are to be constructed. Of the total amount ap priatedf. by congress, namely S2O.. OOO,0oO. substantially SIG, 100000 re- mains undesignated as to its expendi- ture by the president"
