"TWILlGHT SLEEP" VIEWS
To Be Shown 10 Women Only a
Opera House on Friday.

Motion pictures bringing the con
trast between Twilight Cleep'
(Dammerschlaf) and natural birth are
to be exhibited to women only at the
opera house on Friday, Jan. -.
Accompanying and explaining the
pictures will be a lecture originally
delivered by DR. Kurt r. Schlossingk
of Freiburg, Germany, at which place
the use of Twilight Sleep" was first
attempted. This lecture will be de-
livered by Marguerite Rand. The
lecture describes the subject in terms
which are easily grasped by the lay
mind. The pictures show the
mothers going about their daily tasks
few hours after the birth and also
show Closeup" views of children
born under the influence of Twilight
Sleep"
II is announced that the pictures
are in no way calculated to establish
a propaganda in favor of the system
but merely to show the effects pro
duced and to treat the subject educa.

A Rule Against Invisible Government

The state constitution provides that
the enacting clause of all bills shall
be THE People of the state of New
York, represented in senate and
Assembly" In legislative practice
it rests with committees and prac-
tically with the chairmen of those
committees, not with the representa-
tves of the people. to prevent enact
ments. No matter how desirable or
wise a bill may be, the chairman of
the committee to which it is referred
can, for political or other reasons,
have it killed, secretly in committee.
1t is true, motion may be made
to discharge committee from the
consideration of an unreported bill,
but in legislative practice it is usual
ly hard Shedding to extract bill from
the committee where it is hidden. A
motion to discharge is considered a
sort OF affront to the chairman,
The chairmen of other committees
stand by him in defense of their
common privilege, 1t seems to be a
superstition or tradition to uphold the
chairman. So members of the leg
islature will often vote against mo-
ton to discharge, even if they favor
the bill Be. a bill good or bad,
praiseworthy or foolish--and of the
number of superhuous. unnecessary
bills there is no end--its fate should
be decided by the senate, in the light
of day, not in hugger-mugger. by a
committee.
Senator Wellington of Rensselaer,
county proposes an addition to the
rules of the state senate, the adoption
of which by that body, and of SINH
lar rule by the assembly, he believes
will choke off certain opportunities of
invisible government" at Albany, and
which by its eXcision of the practical
ly absolute and arbitrary power of
committee chairman would in so far
restore representative government.
The objects which he seeks are so inn
portant that The Times reprints his
resolution in full for the study of par
liamentarians and for public consid.

GRAFTON:
Resolved, that there be adopted the
following rule of the senate to wit:
Every bill. except one relating tc

shall be reported by the committee tc
which it shall have been referred
either favorably or unfavorably or
without recommendation, within TWEEN
ty legislative days after it's reference;
and in default of such report such bill
shall be deemed to have been reported
adversely on the twentieth Legislative
day after its reference. Every bill re
ported adversely or deemed to be re
ported adversely shall go upon cal
endar TO be designed" Adverse Re

read or considered except as herein
provided Any bill may be taken from
the adverse report calendar and placed
upon the general orders by vote OF
at least twenty-SiX senators upon mo-
ton of any senator who shall have
given at least twenty-four hours no
tice in writing of such motion, proyid-
ed that such motion be made within
seven legislative days after such bill
shall have been placed upon the ad-
verse report calendar. Extension of
time within which to report bill may
be granted for cause by a vote of at
least twenty-six senators. A bill re-
ported adversely may be recommitted
by n vote of at least twenty-six sena-
tors.
The great merit Of the proposed
rule is that a bill reported adversely

Boston's Historic Hill.

Cops hill was the most northerly OF
the three hills which were the distln.
gushing feature Of Boston at the time
of its settlement. At one time 1t was
known as Windmill hill, from the fact
that at one time a big mill stood on the
summit. Later 1t was known as Snow
hill. The name Copps hill is supposed
to have come from William Copp. a
cobbler, who lived on his own home
stead near the hill. Copps hill was the
second burying ground which WAS es-
tabllshed In the town on the summit OF
the hill where the old mill had stood.
1t was first used for interments In 1860,
and for long time was known as the
"Old North burying ground" The old.
est inscription 1t contains, dated Au-
gust Is, 1862 purporting to commemor-
ate the deaths of John Thwing in 1920
and Grace Berry, in 1926, both some
years before the founding of the col
ony, are thought to have been altered
by some mischievous boy with his
knife. 1t is related that the British SOL
diers. while occupying the buryine
ground as military station, used the
grayestones for targets and marks of
the bullets were visible for years after
the revolution.

Weather and Crops

The rains have ceased (for d
few days. and the roads are drying
rapidly, altho rough and bad in
spots they are passable. The
weather is fine for corn. 1t has
been hot and sultry with OCCASION
al winds the past week. The
ground is in excellent condition for
growing wheat and there are good
prospects for bumper crop this
fall. Wheat will undoubtedly start
at over $500 per bushel and while
flour is high SO is the wheat.
There are good deal of beans out
this year, and beans are the same
as money as Uncle Sam will pro-
badly take most Of the beans off Of
the farmers hands.
