mittee, however, and the house will be
kept busy right UP to the last min
ute of the fftieth day in disposing OF
it's work. .
In the senate. the situation is some
what better. Being a smaller body, it
is able to handle its work much more
rapidly, and there is little doubt that
the senate will be cleared Of business
within the constitutional time limit.
The house will have long sessions
today. Monday and Tuesday, in an
effort to wind up it's work.
Requirement Bill Killed.
The bill by which it was proposed
to raise the standard Of requirements
for admission to a state normal school,
was killed by the committee on edu-
cations report yesterday. af>
This measure would have required
graduates to teach. two years after
they quit school, or suffer the cancel
lation of their diplomas and be COM
PEELED to pay their tuition.
Languages In Public Schools.
Two bills affecting the question of
schools of the state, were reported out
yesterday, both with divided reports.
One prohibits the instruction Of any
language but English, and the other
permits the use OF an hour daily in
instruction in a modern language.
Reinstate Provisions.
The house yesterday reinstated in
II. B. No. lat, the requirement that a
candidate for superintendent of pub
lie instruction must have received
his first grade certificate subsequent
to July /, 1911, and that he shall have
had seven years experience in adj
ministering school affairs.
Likewise, the clause that makes the
superintendent of public instruction a
member of the board OF regents, was
reinstated.
Both these provisos had been
knocked out previously by the house.
by superintendent or Public Instruc-
ton Macdonald.
The house yesterday passed the bill
creating the Office Of president emeri-
tus of the North Dakota Agricultural
college. 1t is generally expected in
legislative circles that the bill will
find opposition in the senate.
and name John Worst, former presi-
dent. to the position.
Same Requirements Prevail.
The attempt in the house to lower
the requirements for admission to the
bar, failed yesterday when the judi
ciary committees report for the in
definite postponement OF the measure
that carried such proposal, was adopt
ed.
Juvenile Bill In Again.
Fl. b. No. rs. which provides for the
appointment Of two juvenile courS
commissioners, and which requires
that one be a woman, and which also
requires that In districts where only
one commissioner is appointed it shall
be a woman, Is before the house again.

SWALLOWS SOON TIRE.
Familiar Bird One Of swiftest But
Lacks Endurance.

There is something truly marvellous
in the mechanism which controls the
scythelike sweep Of wings peculiar to
most birds of prey. Yet even natural-
lists Of the first order have had little
or nothing to say about the power of
flight in birds.
The mechanism Of flight in the swal-
low, which 1t is claimed dashes at
the rate OF 240 miles an hour, is car
ried through an ascending scale, until
in the swift 1t reaches its highest de-
gree, both in endurance and facility of
evolution. Although there are birds
which may, and probably do, attain to
the speed of $50 miles an hour, this
remarkable rate is not to be looked
for in any Of the birds OF the swallow
kind.
In their migrations swallows stick
close to land. and never leave 1t unless
compelled They cross straits at the
narrowest part, and are the most
easily fatigued Of all birds. Apparent
ly though they may possess consider
able speed, they have no power of
sustained flight.

subject to attack by the Nonpartisar
leaders on the theory that it was
simply a frame-up, still there are many
league members of the assembly who
are unwilling to brand the plan I'M
worthy of consideration.
AS now outlines by the senate state
affairs committee the various termin-
al elevator bills that have been intro
duced into that body, would combine
in single measure. That bill will
create a commission Of fifteen mem
bers-three of them ex off1cio, being
the governor, the attorney general and
the state treasurer. Three others
would be appointed by the governor
as representatives of the Society of
Equity, and nine others would be ap-
pointed at large. The Equity society
members and the nine other members
would be appointed on basis Of one
from each judicial district.
An appropriation of $4,000 is con-
templated. OF that sum, $4,000 is
for the expenses Of the commission,
the balance to be used in the con-
struction of terminal elevator, eth
err within or without the state. The
question Of location would be left en-
tirely to the commission.
1t will require about 100000 by d.
rect taxation to handle this project,
it being proposed to use approximately
100000 that is now in the terminal
elevator fund
When Senator McGrey introduced a
series of bills proposing the construc-
ton of a terminal elevator by the
state. and its sale to the Society of
Equity on contract basis, the Nom
partisan league opened an attack on
the plan, maintaining that it was an
attempt to create differences between
the Society of Equity and the Nom
partisan league.
Since the McGrey bills were intro
duced, the senate state affairs COM
mittee has been devoting itself to a
thorough study of the terminal ele-
vator situation, and has practically
determined upon the plan outlined.
The plan that has been worked out
by the senators interested in the
terminal elevator project, it is main
tanned, would open the way to the
establishment of a state owned ter
minal at st. Paul, to be operated
there in conjunction with the Equity
Cooperative Exchange plant.
With the prospect of securing adj
ditional storage facilities as a $3.50, :
600 appropriation would offer, it is
hardly to be believed that the Society
of Equity forces will sit idly by and
permit the bill to fail Of passage.
