Will Vote at 4 O'Clock Today.

An agreement to vote at o'clock this
afternoon on the conference report was
reached late yesterday by the Senate
after another day of attack on fea-
lures alleged to limit freedom OF
speech and extending the Postmaster
Generals mail censorship powerA
Criticism OF the measure was con-
tinued by several senators, led by Sem
ator Sherman of Illinois, republican,
who again assailed administration offi-
cials. including Attorney General
Gregory and Secretary Baker. The
Illinois senator charged the Attorney
General with removing Tennessee dis
trict attorney who was proceeding un-
der the alien enemy law against Maj.
E. B. Stahlman. publisher Of the Nash
vile Banner.
Senator Norris of Nebraska also at
tackled the censorship clause and an
nounced that he would move for its
elimination. He said the power pro-
posed for the Postmaster General-to
withhold mail he believes would violate
tho espionage laws-is too great to
give any man..
The censorship provision was defend
ed by Senator King of Utah. one Of Its
authors. and Senator McCumber of
North Dakota, republican. The latter
declared that the legislation will not
harm loyal Americans, but Is needed to
curb dfsloyalists.

How,s Your Heart2

It is known that a perfectly sound heart is not necessary to successful athletics. 4 heart that is originally weak will, when properly trained, sometimes carry a man successfully through a severe athletic contest. Nev- ertheless, such a heart will not carry him very far on the Marathon course against the Grim Reaper.
 A careful study made by men who have been strenuously athletic in early life shows that the benefits derived scarcely compensate for the dangers incurred. It appears that athletes are quite as susceptible to infectious dis ease as others, and that they die from heart disease, tuberculosis, typhoid fe- yer or pneumonia, just as do their less strenuous brothers.
 Feats of strength and endurance are particularly harmful to young persons and should be carefully regulated and supervised in all schools. It should be made a fixed rule that no boy be al- lowed to compete in contests If his heart gives the least evidence of weak ness.-Exchange

The Broccoli Plant.

If the man who succeeds in grow ing two blades of grass where only one grew before is one of the greatest benefactOrs of mankind, what shall be said of him who is able to produce six or eight heads of the cabbagelike broc- coli where only one grew previously, and, what is more, has made the plant a perennial?
 That is what an English hOrticultur- ist recently achieved. A writer in Chambers Journal tells of one of these new plants from which the grower cut fifteen heads six or seven inches in diameter.
 The broccoli should be of inestimable value to the small gardener, especially if he happens to have an odd corner where he can let the plants grow undis- turbed. Once they become established they assume the proportions of young

MANY NEW PAPER PROCESSES
Process of De-Inking Old Newspapers So They May Be Used Again Has
 Been Evolved.

Two of the more recent develop ments in the crusade to bring down the high cost of paper have been the the tests for making newsprint from old papers and further consideration of the subject of producing fbrous pulp from cotton stalks, the Wall Street Journal states.
 A process of de-inking old newsprint has been evolved by Dr. Thomas Jes- person of Neenah, Wis. Doctor Jes- person has invented a solution which successfully removes the ink from old paper and bleaches it a pure white. The ink used in printing newspapers is largely constituted of lamp black and various oils.
 Although it has been generally known for years that chlorine would accomplish this de-inking process, no attempts, prior to Doctor Jesperson's experiment, are known to have been made to introduce this system as a commercial factor. About 5000 tons of newsprint are consumed daily in the United States in the printing of newspapers. The old papers are gen orally sold to paper manufacturers as old stock. Every paper mill has a number of girls in it's employ who assort the old papers received, and about three tons daily are thrown aside. This castoff material is now used in the manufacture of cheaper grades of paper, boxboard, etc.
 A mill at Neenah has made paper by reducing such castoff paper to pulp after it has been bleached. Paper made by this method, using the de- mixing substance, has been used by some small newspapers, who report that it is apparently not different from the brand-new material. The subject of manufacturing pulp for paper from cotton stalks has come up repeatedly in the past and has been under con sideration by chemists in Germany as well as the United States department of agriculture.
 A meeting was held recently in the office of the state commissioner of az riculture to consider the advisability of using stalks from Texas cotton fields for this purpose. Texas annual ly has about 12,O00,O00 acres sown to cotton, and stalks in this area have an estimated weight of 15,000y000 tons, which would be available for paper manufacturing.
