to bother about name for their an
gel child. Day Book readers have
rushed to their assistance with a va
Tiety of suggestions, and if Tom

Judgment in selecting a name he will
have no one to blame but himself if
in after years the kid gets peeved
and beats up Pa because of his chris
tening.
Here are some of the names Day
Book readers suggested:
I think Leon Duff will fit him very

Constitution Allows lt? Urn
In seeking to get committee reference
for his measure, Senator Lodge reads
the constitutional provision governing
the actions Of congress The constitu-
ton provides that congress or either
house Of congress can be called into
special session by the president. Sena-
tor Lodge made the point that mas
much as the only business which tbs
house can handle exclusively IL legisla-
tive business, the fact that the consti-
tuition provides that it can be called in-A
to special session for that purpose in
dependently of the senate indicates
clearly that the constitutional intent is
that the senate while in special session
also may transact legislative as well as
executive business. In this position he
was sustained by Senator Walsh, OF
Montana, regarded as one of the ablest
lawyers in the senate.
Senators who participated In the La
Toilette filibuster against the armed
ship bill admitted they could not pre-
vent it's passage in the near future II
the administration gets behind the
Lodge bill and insists on vote.

Lodge of Massachusetts, ranking re-

relations committee, in his move yes

Wilson to fish or cut bait on the armed
ship issue.
ministration, Senator Lodge. when the
new senate convened at noon, intro
duced the armed ship bill which failed
to pass in the late session because OF
the LaFollette filibuster.
Senator Lodge asserted his belief
that il could be passed within week
and that the president. by calling the
house into special session. could obtain
its approval there and get all the au-
thority he sought from the last con-
grcss.
Loses on Technieality.
Democratic senator's. caught off
guard, objected to the consideration of
the armed ship bill at the present spe-
cial session of the senate. Senator
Thomas of Colorado made point OF
order against the reception of the
armed ship bill. He was sustained by
Vice President Marshall on the ground
that congress is not in session.
Senator Lodge served notice he would
bring up the bill again and that he
would continue TO call it up until the
senate formally decides whether or not
il can be considered at this session.
The Lodge coup was made not only
to bring about the immediate passage
of the armed ship bill by the senate,
but to force President Wilson into call
ing an extra session OF congress.
Against Special Session.
1t is an open secret that the president
does not want congress in session at
the present time. In the first place, he
does not wish to be bothered by 1t dur
ing his handling OF the acute Internal
tional situation. In the second place.
the democratic leaders fear that II con-
eress We're convened now the republic
cans would organize the new house and
control legislation there. Also, they be-
iieve congress would exercise Its own
discretion about adjourning.

Chicago, March Hogs rose to the
unprecedented quotation of 1900 in
some cases today. but the advance
was not followed by the majority oil
traders and a reaction took place,
prices dropping a half dollar.
Eleven markets received 1850 hogs

$500 less than two years ago. Total
thus far this week 1Ss, 600, or $4,000 less

than like time last year and 5000 more
than CORES spending two days two years

937, 600 less than same period 1916 and
279,0OO more than corresponding time

Cattle.
Cattle were not over plentiful.
In most feeding sections steers now
fattening are held in numbers far
shorter than normal according to trace
surveyors who have been over the
country recently. In many sections
corn is about exhausted and habitat
cattle have come freely in recent weeks,
the owners refusing to go into the mar
ket and pay 81 bushel for corn, or
right at that price. Corn was sold at
Peoria for local consumption at ~
cents Monday, whereas eastern ship
pers bid cents premium for corn that
was in oars belonging to eastern roads,
which are the only ones that can be
moved east now under the commerce
commission order.
Shortening up of supplies not only
affecting Chicago, but other points, and
in the western markets fat beef has
long been scarce. Seven markets have
had only 5000 cattle thus far in the
week. against $4,000 a week ago and
1000 a year ago.
The seq sational advance in hogs.
which has effected an average for them
around 81 per cwt higher than cattle,
has occasioned no little wonderment on
part of the trade as TO just what is re-
straining sharp rise in steers in keep
ing with hogs. The explanation seems
10 lie in the public distrust Of beef at
current prices, even tho pork is cost
ing relatively much more. Pork lofns
sold today at 2l1zc wholesale in the
local market, while beef at New York
and Boston is wholesaling IN the car
cass at $3.50 to s14.75. and only the
choicest grades upwards Of s14.25.
Killers claim their carcass sales last
week showed a strong minus result and
until the beef market gets a rise no
very generous supplies are going to be
wanted at current costs. while should
the trade some day wake up to find
generous run Of cattle at hand. siumps
a-plenty, buyers say Will come in spite
Of whatever action is shown in hog

Omaha and Kansas City. The former,
according to private reports, were OF

Of cash wheat who, on account Of the
shortage Of cars, have been unable to
get cars and are probably hoping to
buy back their wheat at a profit. Tech
