The intensity of legislative work is
expected to be noticeable this week at
Names Capitol. when the seventh
week Of the 18th session Of the Legis-
lature will be in progress. When the
clock strikes 4 this Monday afternoon
the Hopper" will be closed to the In
PRODUCTION of private and special meas
ures and 1t is limited that bay win
dow at least will be necessary on the
hopper to accommodate all the docu-
ments which will be ready for depos-
it in that long-suffering and over
worked establishment.
Committee hearings are assigned for
the week in numbers that may cause
some hustling on the part Of commit
tee members to attend them all. The
matters to be considered include
measures Of real importance to all,
some Of real Importance to their back
ers but of less public importance and
others which bi-ennially appear, only
to be left for other persons to decide.
But. they all take time and every cit
zen who appears before committee
of the Maine Legislature is granted the
same rights as to time and attention
from the committee, be his request
great or small. That is why it will be
the busiest week to date of the ses-
sion.
Talk Of adjournment still holds TO
the idea of 4 12-weeks session, II pos
sible, though the general feeling Is
that it will go beyond that. The effort
will be made, however, to finish the
legislative work in that period ana II
was noted that at the hearing on Frl-
dav afternoon before the committees
which have in hand the matter OF the
coat of arms emblems for the House
and Senate. each of the artists submit
tinc. designs were closely questioned
as to their ability to have the emblems
placed in position within the Il
weeks period.
Both branches will convene at ~
o'clock Tuesday morning.

Paris, March l9.--The French cabinet
headed by Premier BRAND, has resigned
An official note given out after the
cabinet meeting, says:

cabinet decided that circumstances com
PEELED it TO leave to the president of the
republic complete liberty to interpret the
situation in the best interests of nation

president the resignation of the cabinet"
! The BRAND ministry succeeded the vi
viani cabinet in October. 1915, and was
reorganized last Dec ~, when the num-
Der of ministerial folios was decreased
and war council appointed. The war
council included Premier BRAND, NJ Ri

minister of war; Rear Admiral Lacaze,
minister of marine. and NJ. Thomas, min
ister of national manufactures.
Attacks by the opposition in Parlia-

ister OF war. The Chamber Of Deputies
had held a secret session Wednesday in
which the French aviation service was
discussed. No specific attack was made
on Gen. Lyautey and it was explained
that his resignation which he refused to
reconsider, resulted from his ignorance of

FEDERAL BOARD Or
DERS RETURN PRIV
ILEGE STOPPED
Insists Publishers Take This Action to
Relieve the Shortage in News
Print Paper.

Washington, March l9.--The federal
trade commission, in its effort to relieve
the shortage of news print paper and
prevent large number of publishers
being forced out of business, has de-
creed that the practice of allowing news
dealers to return unsold copies must be
stopped, as an inexcusable waste of print
paper under the circumstances. 1t is an
nounced that no newspaper that fails to
fulfil this condition and abolish returns"
can have the advantages OF its arbitra-
ton as to the prices OF news print Many
newspapers the country over have al
ready gone to the mo return" basis and
Others have restricted their acceptance
of unsold copies to small percentage
1t is felt by many publishers to be a
hardship, especially for the small news
dealers, to be deprived of any margin
upon his sales of newspapers; but, in
view of the serious condition that CON
fronts the newspaper press of the coun-
try, there seems to be no other course
to pursue. Readers of newspapers can
protect themselves, make sure OF getting
their newspapers and help the newsdeal-
ers and publishers at the same time by
ordering their newspaper regularly in

If you don't want to go to your work
"the morning after" whistling "Rackety
Coo" don't go to see 'Katinka," at the
opera house tonight. Nobody who has
seen the latest creation of Otto Hauer-
bach and Rudolf Friml has yet escaped
the magic of Mr.. FrimPs music, nor Mr..
Hauerbach's queer words to it. After
the show has hit town you will hear the
girl back of the ribbon counter humming
"Rackety Coo" You will 60 to your
Office and will find the bookkeeper soft
ly and unconsciously whistling it to him
self as he goes over the items. You will
hear the Photographs and the player
pianos grinding it out as you pass the
music stores. The street car conductor
will whistle a snatch of it as he collects
you fare, or your chauffeur will crank
your automobile TO the tune OF "Rackety
Coo" After a while you will begin TO
get aggravated, then you will become
decidedly exasperated until, in an UNI
guarded moment, you will find yourself
doing it too. Then you will get in good
humor again and join the gayety Of the
city and the nation. Not since "The
Merry Widow" waltz has there been any
thing so compelling as "Raekcty Coo"

ASKS FOR CON-
SERVATION OF PULP
WOOD RESOURCES
Secretary Houston Appeals to the Coun-
T try to Insure Print Paper
Supply.

Washington, March 19.-Secretary
Houston appealed to the country yester
day to conserve its pulp wood resources
rs means of insuring future supply
Of news print paper. In a statement on
The subject he pointed to the present
close balance between production and de-
nand in the news print industry and to
~asteful forestry methods, and urged
state forest departments to support re-
Horestation plans.
Some parts of the United States, the
secretary said, virtually have been de-
huded of forests, though portions of the
West and Alaska still offer an immense
supply of paper making material.
He suggested government cooperation
in supplying mills with pulp wood from
national forests and said new mills might
be erected under agreement with the gov
ernment for a long-term supply of wood.
ii necessary to build up production, the
government, he declared, might even EN-
bark in the manufacture OF paper.
