Hot Debate Anticipated.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August e.
Final enactment of the administration
food control bill is the principal task
ahead of congress this week. When
this long contested measure is out of
the way the senate will begin debate on
the 50 ,006, 100000 war tax bill with the
leaders hoping for a vacation recess
in September.
The entire war legislative program
is again contested in the senate where
the debate on the conference report on
the food control bill was resumed to-
day.
Administration leaders expressed
confidence today that the food legisla-
tion will be sent to the president be-
fore the weekend, though not until
after another bitter fight in the SEN
ate.
Upon passage of the keyenue meas
ure, and other minor legislation re-
cess of six weeks may be granted.
Among the less important measures
schedule for early senate consider
alton are the conference report on the
bills increasing the interstate COM
nerce commissions personnel and au-
tborizing the president to fix priority
ia railroad shipments
The administration trading with the
enemy bill, passed by the house, will
be considered today by the senate
commerce committee, but senate action
may be postponed until after Decem-
ber. The commerce committee will
seek confirmation of cambridge Colby,
cf New York, as a member of the
shipping board. The bill proposed by
Secretary McAdoo for government in
urance of American troops sent abroad
may also be presented this week.
Peace Discussion Coming.
Further senate discussion of peace
is promised. Senator Stone, chairman
Of the foreign relations committee, has
declared that he expected to deliver
speech on the peace situation, but
probably not offer any concrete pro-
posals in the form of a resolution. His
address promises to lead to considera-
bic discussion Of peace in foreign cap
itals as we'll as of Americas war
aims.
|. Woman suffrage is another subject
scheduled for continued agitation
Senator Weeks and others advocating
a congressional committee to supervise
war expenditures. expect to continue
their fight, Senator Weeks will offer
his resolution as an amendment to the
war tax bill.
Senator Chamberlain hopes to obtain
consideration of his resolution to draft
all aliens, except Asiatics and enemies
who live in this country. The military
committee also is scheduled to soon
report war department bill to create
board of aircraft production. The
senate audit committee will meet today
ard probably will report Senator
Sherman's resolution for congression-
al investigation of the East st. Louis
riots. Attention in some form also is
expected to be given by congress to
the anti-draft disturbances

ONLY NINE DAYS
LEFT For SOLONS
To Do BUSINESS

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 6.-With only
nine more days left for the 1917 session
of the general assembly and with no
bills of general nature yet in the
hands of the governor. it seems pretty
certain that only legislation for which
there is an immediate pressing need
will stand any chance Of getting
through this year.
Of course, the most pressing matters,
concerns which, if neglected, will nee
essitate an extraordinary session, are
the general tax bill and the general
appropriation bill The house has al
ready been working on the first OF
these two since last Wednesday and
its completion will probably consume
at least one-half Of this week..
The appropriation bill will be ready
to take up just as soon as the tax
bill has been passed. There are some
features of the tax bill, particularly
section IA, which requires county
cltrks to file with the tax collectors
each year a complete list of mortgages
and judgments of record in their Of
fees, which will very likely meet with
stubborn opposition.
Committee is Winning.
Although a numDer of the items of
tie bill have already been bitterly con-
tested, the ways and means committee
has won its point substantially in every
case so far.
A number Of war measures, two by
Senator Andrews, Of the Thirty-tfth
district, have passed the senate, and
every effort will be made to get them
through the house before adjournment.
One provides for state council OF
defense and the other for an investi-
cation into the high cost of living
Another war measure which has
been favorably reported by the house
committee on military affairs would
give a legal status to the home guard
companies which have been organized
in various communities to take the
place Of the national guard which has
been mustered into the United States
service.
A measure of timely interest is the
bill by Representative Fowler, of Bibb'
to amend the law passed last year pro-
viding for special registration for
county bond elections so as to make 1t
effective,
The Barfeld bill, adopting in Geor-
gia form of the Torrens system OF
land title registration, and the Neill
primary bill, which have already pass
ed the house. are expected to pass the
senate this week.

Presidential Candidates.

Both political parties have a habit
of selecting comparatively poor men
for president. In this generation there
has not been a rich presidential candi
date-at least not rich as defined by
the American lexicon.
Roosevelt is the richest Republican
who was ever president or Republican
nominee for sojourn In the White
House. Wilson, Taft, Mckinley, Cleve
land, Harrison, Garfield, Grant, Arthur
Hayes, Johnson and Lincoln were not
rich.
Nor were the nominees, including
Bryan, Blaine and Hancock, possessed
of great fortunes.
Samuel J. Tilden, however, was al
exception to the general rule. He
was a millionaire and was much the
wealthiest nominee Of either party
since before the civil war. In fact. he
was the richest man who ever ran fol
president with any hope Of getting the
Office.
Washington was a rich man for hla
day, but his wealth was far loss thai,

Dents In Furniture

J When wood is badly dented OF
scratched it is often problem to know
how to get rid Of the marks. This is
quite easy, according to writer in
one Of the scientific publications, II the
following plan is adopted: First Of all
fold piece of blotting paper at least
four times, then sAturate with water,
finally allowing the superfuous mois'
ture to drip away. Now heat flatiron
until it is about the warmth required
for laundry work. Place the damp blot
ting paper over the. dent and press
firmly with the iron. AS soon as the
paper dries examine the mark. 1t will
then be found that the cavity has filled
up to surprising extent. When the
dent is very deep second or even a
third application on the lines indicated
might be tried. Sooner or later even
serious depressions can be drawn up,
and most people who have not tried
this plan will be surprised at the result
of the treatment. Repolishing will
clear away even the slight marks that
might finally remain.

Chopin and the Children.

A chronicler of the life of Chopin,
the great pianist, tells the following
anecdote: On one occasion the pupils
in his fathers school, freed temporari-
ly from the restraint of the elder
Chopin, arranged to have some fun
with their tutor. When the commotion
was at its height Chopin entered and
set himself to quell it. He told the
boys that If they would remain quiet
he would play for them. He darkened
the room and started his improvisation,
telling the skylarkers a roCantic story
Of Il band Of robbers who approached a
house, mounted by ladders to the win
dows, bit We're frightened away by a
noise within. They fed into dark
wood, where they fell asleep under a
starry sky. Chopin by this time was
playing more and more softly, as If
seeking to lull the robbers in the wood
and incidentally the children in the
schoolroom to rest. When he had sat
isied himself that his hearers had &C.
tually fallen asleep Chopin crept from
the room and brought his parents to
look at them. He turned up the lights,
and the boys slept on until he reseated
himself at the piano and struck thrill
ling chord, at which they all awakened
with start.

Stairs Waste Effort.

Elevators and Other ""lveyances Uti-
lized ordinarily for handling materials
may be used also in conserving the
strength and increasing the efficiency
of the workpeople. 1t is nothing less
than stupid to make tired employees
climb down several flights Of stairs at
the end Of long days work when
there are elevators available and even
more stupid to make these people
climb up the stairs in the morning,
using unnecessarily a large amount o!
energy which might otherwise help to
tide them over the critical fatigue point
during the day: would bs part q
wisdom to install elevators merely for
use Of the workers, even II they were
Of no use for handling materials.

mills have installed escalators for this
purpose.-Engineering Magazine.
