chairman of the appropriation commit
tee asked unanimous consent to in
troduce the bill calling for the appro-
preparations for state institutions. The
Democrats did not object. Representa-

ty who had made him a present of n
monkey wrench, which he found on
his desk.
IDAHO ONLY STATE LACKING.
The house listened to an interesting
lecture and witnessed moving pictures
dealing with the important. topic OF
venereal disease, which the govern
ment is now seeking to carry on a
campaign against in civilian life. Both
lecture and pictures were very instruc-
tive The statement was made by the
government representa- tive that Idaho
is the only state which has failed to
pass legislation TO cooperate with the
government in its fight The bill in
dorsed by the government passed the

not well founded.
