LONG SESSION
OF LEGISLATURE
Political Wiseacres Predict The State
Solons Will Still Be In Session
April FOOLS Day.

JACKSON, Miss, Feb. 17-And
now the political wiseacres are offer
ing the prediction that the legisla-
ture will still be in session April Fools
Day with deadlocks existing between
the two houses. This prediction is
based upon the rather unexpected de-
velopment of a low pressure sentiment
in the Senate which may mean confer
ences with House committees to set
tie differences on many salary ques-
tions.
Then there are the questions of the
state bond issue for good roads and
the common school appropriation. The
Senate has passed the Roberts bill pro-
viding for the $25 100000 bond issue
for roads, while the House has defeat
ed the Pate bill providing for a SINH
lar amount, but drawn rather differ
emily. The House is rather reluctant,
too, to accept the measure of the
higher body.
The Senate has made the common
school appropriation 81 per capita,
while a House committee recommends
SIS and their recommendation may
pass the bill. Educational leaders
..ope to force through the compulsory
education bill, being dissatisfied with
| referring that matter to the people, as
| the House has done. The Pardon
Board fight and the proposed remov-
al of the University to Jackson are
| other interesting matters sure to
cause much smoke. There's the dope;

NEW COAT OF ARMS
GERMANY ADOPTS
Consists OF One Headed Eagle, On
Yellow Gold Shield, And With
out the Old-Time Crown.
Associated Press

BERLIN, Feb. 1.-THE new Ger
man coat Of arms adopted by the Nat
ional Assembly consists of one
headed eagle, on a yellow-gold shield,
and without the old-time crown. The
eagle will be displayed in simple her
aldic form, without any accessories.
The Hohenzollern coat of arms, and
the chain of the order of the Silver
Eagle, all parts of the old Prussian
coat of arms have been omitted. The
bill Of the eagle, the tongue and the
talons are in red. Servants of the
government are to wear the device
without the shield so it can be pinned
to their uniforms.
Some of the Pan-German papers ri
dicule it, saying the skinny, homely
eagle with extended tongue" violates
all rules of good taste.

SALVATION ARMY
In The New Countries Like CZecho'
SlOvakia In a Remarkable Manner,
Says General Booth.
Associated Press

LONDON, Feb 1.-THE people of
the new countries like Czecha Slova-
kia are turning to the Salvation Army
in a remarkable manner, says General
Bramwell Booth, head of the Army.
The Army never has had an organi-
zation in Czecho Slovakia, and SO
anxious is the government of that
country to get the Army installed that
that all the necessary buildings for
the work have been offered free.
Bulgaria and Poland probably will
be Invaded" shortly by this friendly
army. Both of these countries are
new territory for the Salvationists.
The Vienna government has reques-
ted the Salvation Army to assist in
the relief work in Austria, and 4Gener-
al Booth has sent a Mission to
Vienna to investigate the feasibility
of embarking on this labor. The Ger
man government has asked him to CO.
operate with it in supplying milk IN
Germany, and he expressed the hope
that the Army might be aDle TO &c
this.
General Booth disclosed the fact
hat the Salvation Army never has
ceased work in Bolshevist Russia, de-
spite conditions there. The Army ha:
six or seven establishments in Pc
trograd and twice as many in 9th
er sections of the country. Appar
emily the Reds have not been troubi
ing the Army workers, all of whom
it was pointed out, are Russians o.
Firms, the British workers having
been withdrawn. The Army among
other things is looking after war or
phans and doing such rescue work a
it can.

Reading from the Psalms is the lit
eracy test for admission to this coun
try, which went into effect in May
1917, and is now receiving its frs
trial because immigration during tht
war was small. The law provide:
that an immigrant with few excep
tions must be able to read from 80 t.
40 words in any language he or sh'
desires. The department OF labor de
