how much per gallon, and after
receiving an affirmative reply to
the former question, was in
formed that the price was ten

drove his team back to the house,

jugs were found according to
promise. loaded into the Ford and

GOTH CONGRESS
PASSES OUT
With 1t Goes Repeal of
Virtually All War
Laws
HOUSE SUSTAINS
TARIFF LAW VETO

WASHINGTON. March 4 Omitted
Press)-The Sixty-sixth Congress.
after two OF the busiest peace time
years on record, checked out today.
Working at top speed for the last
weeks, II came within one notch OF
reaching the goal set by President
Harding-the passage OF all appro-
priation bills. The naval bill was
the only one failing.
The dying hours" OF the Congress
brought death to the F'ordney emer-
gency tariff. President Wilson's
veto of the measure stood when the
House early today failed to override.
The vote was POI to 1872 or 21 less
than the necessary two-thirds.
The legislative work of the Con-
gress was completed shortly after 2
o'clock this morning. Both Houses
reassembled shortly before noon so
that tho presiding officers could sign
engrossed copies OF the bills jammed
in the closing hours but no legis-
lation was considered. The closing
work of the Senate was the passage
or the sundry civil appropriation
with s1O.OOO.O0O to complete the
Muscle Shoals. Ala. nitrate plant
eliminated after the House had
twice refused to agree TO II.
Several important measures were
abandoned during the last week.
These were: The soldiers bonus bill,

the federal budget bill. legislation
regulating the packers. legislation
limiting and regulating cold stor-
age, the S10O.OOO.OOO appropriation
for federal aid to States in road
building, reapportionment OF the
House because OF the 1920 census.
federal aid for education and ma
ternity, reorganization of the patent
Office.
Although nearly $4,000 bills and
resolutions were introduced in the
present Congress only about 1000
were written into law.
The last legislative work OF the
House was to pass the bill providing
for the return of an unknown sol
der for burial in Arlington ceme-
teryB
The retiring President refused to
sign the bill restricting immigration
during the period from April /. 1921
to July 1, 1922, TO 3 percent OF the
aliens here IN 1910.
The pocket veto also caught the
army appropriation bill which pro-
lvided for an army OF 1856 during
the next fiscal year.
When President Wilson about
midnight gave his approval 70 the
resolution repeating virtually all the
war laws. he had acted upon nearly
all the important legislation 20 be sub
mitted to him, with the exception Of
the measure restricting immigration,
the army appropriation bill. which
fixes the size OF the army during the
next fiscal year. and tho measure au-
thorizing appropriations Of $1S6, 500,
600 for the immediate construction
Of more hospitals for wounded ser
vice men.
Numerous minor bills. however
were submitted TO the President IN
his room at the Capitol today. Ap-
preparation bills TO be signed are the
