 Conway at the expense of the Con.
 way Commercial Club on next Fri | day, the invitation being extended by Secretary A. L. Barber, through | President Davenport of the senate
 and Speaker Cazort of the house. Secretary Barber stated that if 3
 sufficient number of members woulC
 accept the Conway Commercial Clut
 would provide a special train to leave Little Rock early Friday afternoon The visitors would be shown over the city and an informal dinner woulC
 be served in the evening, the special
 train returning to Little Rock about l 9 o'clock.
 The invitation was also extended personally to many of the members | by Representative H. B. Hardy of Faulkner county. Secretary Barber stated this afternoon, however, that on account of the fact that both houses will adjourn tomorrow until Monday and many of the members will be required to visit other insti- tutions, while others will return tC their homes for short stay, it is improbable that a sufficient number will accept Conway's invitation to justify the securing of a special train About 30 members of the house, he said, had accepted the invitation, however, and would come up on the regular train Friday morning, re- turning in the afternon If the train is not secured the visitors will be served with noon luncheon, instead of a dinner here and the other fea- lures of entertainment will be the same.
 The committees to visit the State Normal School were announced today. They are as follows:
 Senate-Senators Harry l.. Ponder of Walnut Ridge and J. s. Utley of Benton.
 House - Representative Bonnie Davis of Magnolia, M. F. Collier of Prairie Grove and Ben F. Allen of Heber Springs.
 Senator Ponder is a former mem Der of the Normal board of trustees land Senator Utley was born, reared and educated in Fapulkner county.
 Little Rock, Jan. 23.-The state senate Monday afternoon sat back and listened for an hour or so to dry figures on the Emory bill to create a uniform text book commission and erect state printing plant to sup ply them and at , o'clock voted to adjourn, 21 to 12 in order to keep down another executive session which threatened.
 The senate did not convene until Is o'clock in the afternoon, due to an adjournment at for lunch. The lengthy noon session, in which F.. w. Chancey and A. W. Hall were reject ed as members of the board of di- rectors for the First district agricul. tural school, did not leave the senate in much of working mood when it reconvened, so the text book bill was as good a way to pass the time as any.
 The afternoon session opened with a bill by Senator Sims to require the appointment of county registrars to gather vital statistics under the state board of health. This being com mittee measure, coming from the public health committee, it was left on the calendar.
 Senator Ponder introduced a bill to make more eXacting the laws gov erning the formation of improvement districts, and Senator Smith proposed three amendments to his constltu- tional convention bill, all of which were adopted
 The first amendment changes the representation in the convention, in creasing it from 110 to IA. This leaves 100 to be elected as the mem bers of the house of representatives, are now, and 14 delegates at large, two from each congressional district. Senator Smith explained that under the original bill, all 10 could have been selected from one district. The
 
 second amendment reduces the age limit from 30 to 25 years, and the third merely specifics how the secre- tary of state shall certify the names of the candidates at large to the county election commissioners.
 Senator Ward introduced bill prohibiting cottonseed oil manufac turers owning or controlling gins, or selling bagging or ties. This was re- ferred to the corporations committee.
