changed at this session of the legis-
lature, some Republican members
are endeavoring to not only block
all moves toward new constitution,
but all remedial legislation offered
for this session
1t is known that Senator Spencer
has given it as bis opinion that the
state cannot be re.districted Aat this
time, but the Senator has advised
also that his opinion regarding the
matter should be kept quiet because
of the political effect that talk of a
bill of this character will have on
Republican members of the legis
lature
The effort to line all Republicans
against the wholesome recommends
tions of Governor Frederick D. Gard
ner is having but little effect, num-
Der of Republican members declare.
The constitution provides that the
Senatorial districts be formed at the,
first session of the legislature after
each census and if not then by the
governor, attorney general and Sec
retary of state within thirty days
after the adjournment of the ses-
sion."
One of the warm fights of the ses-
sion will come Up over a bill pro-
vidine for capital punishment in the
state. introduced by Senator Won
Mayes of Pemiscot county, This
form of punishment vas abolished
by a close vote TWO years ago. Sen
ator Msyes declare that some club
must be held over persons sentenced
to prison for life who kill for the re.
motest chance of escape.

Laughing Her Way Into
English House Of Conlmehs
American Beauty Says Woman
Can Only Skid by Putting
in a Deal of Work.

Plymouth. England. Nov. 6.-Vis-
countess Astor addresses a number of
election to the house of commons on
the conservative ticket is Laughing her
way to that point" her friends and po-
litical supporters claimed today. With
her keen sense of humor and witty
sallies the ,viscountesp usually keeps her
audiences In roar. But there is a
very serious side 70 her also. Wis
countess Astor addresses anumber of
political meetings every day and efforts
are being made to have Premier Lloyd
George come to Plymouth to speak in
her behalf. At a meeting today one
such interrupted her several times with
questions and finally the viscountess ex-
claimed, you had better take me now
while you have the chance"
In one of her speeches the famous
American beauty said: "A woman can
only skid by putting in deal of spade
work. 1t will be my ten years work
which will win for me. The people
who talk about snobs are the biggest
Snobs l have ever met"
Some one interrupted Viscountess
Astor to inquire about social reforms.
why, every woman in this hall knows
that 1T was the desire to do away with
the slums that brought both my hus-
band and rryself into politics." On an
other occasion Viscountess Astor asked
her audience II we had had a labor
government would we have won the
war? DO you really want to turn
Premier Lloyd George out ana put
Ramsey in his place?'

Next to, Watches Trousers
Are Soaked Most Often

What the psychology of the situation
may be has not been determined, but
nevertheless. reports OF Chattanooga
pawnbrokers show that during the past
year. with the exception OF watches
more trousers have been soaked" than
any other article.
Upon revelation of this fact. a plau-
sible reason was sought. LAS you
doubtless know" said one broker.
there is no sentiment to pair of
pants. Men wear them because Gus
tom demands 1t. but other than that
they possess no charm or attraction to
the individual. With other things It
is different. Behind every watch and
ring there is story; 1t is seldom 1t
comes to light in the transaction, but
its presence is known just the same.
Il have seen women weep over an
old tea kettle not worth more than so
cents at the limit, yet some assoca-
tion connected with its use brings
tears to the eyes. Occasionally men
hesitate at asking a loan on the most
insignificant article. but trousers-there
is never regret for them"
One solution offered Is that the ma
jority of men going to pawnshops in
clude two pair of trousers in their
wardrobes. and in case of necessity
can part even with the Sunday-go to-
meeting set.

CLOSE WATCH
ON COAL STRIKE
Railroad Administration and
Department Of Justice In
tereSted in Reports.
HINES REASSURES PEOPLE

Washington. Nov. 6.-Information
in the hands of government officials
in touch with the strike situation
today indicated an increase in btu
minous coal production, especially in
the West Virginia fields. A further
detection of union forces was noted
In the early morning reports al
though officials were not able to say
whether the break in the union ranks
was increasing to any great extent.
This phase of the situation is being
watched closely by the government
department particularly the railroad
administration and the department Of
justice.
Director General Hines reiterated
today that no community need fear
1t would be cut off entirely from fuel
supplies so long as the stocks under
supervision Of the railroad adminis-
tration last. He declared the primary
purpose of the machinery set up by
this office was to guard against con-
centration Of coal stocks In one sec
tion to the detriment of another. Rail-
road administration officials refused
to accept seriously published reports
of traffic congestion in some of the
larger terminals. Members of the di-
rector generals staff were in confer
ence last night and again today ex-
amining detailed reports of traffic
movements. These reports showed no
difficulties in car movements thus
far, they said. No official, however,
would venture a prediction as to the
trajc problem to be met In the next
two weeks should the strike continue
that long.
