England and France to get
some of the smartest of
gayly colored fabrics for
upholstery and hangings in

that have not been seen

There are heavy cotton

astonishingly smart for sun

Oklahoma City, Feb. 2S.-The SEN
ate blocked against deficiency appro-
prations for state schools was pierced
yesterday. One deficiency bill ran the
blockade successfully; and another
scraped through, but was so badly
crippled that it will be practically
useless unless it can be repaired.
Most Of the Republican senator's
and few of the Democratic ones
have maintained the blockade. For
more than a week three bills car.
rying appropriations for state schools
have held the top of the calendar for
final roll call. They have been
passed over day after day, as the au-
thors felt the opposition was lay
ing for them"
Yesterday Senator Pughs bill to
appropriate $1,000 for the Panhandle
Agricultural College at Goodwell to
carry il through the remainder Of
this fiscal year was called up. 1t
slipped through the blockade by a
vote of 20 to 8. Several senators
who voted no then announced their
votes would be aye for the emer-
gency clause, which passed by u
vote Of 32 to 6. Sentiment against
this school apparently has weakened
considerably since the appropriation
measure failed to pass some time
ago.
Encouraged, doubtless, by the safe
passage Of the Pugh bill. friends of
Senator Dearmon's measure to ap-
propriate $4,000 for the Oklahoma
College for Women at Chickasha,
called up this bill The blockade i'm
medately strengthened, and it was
only by calling in absent senator's
that constitutional majority for the
bill was voted. The vote was "a to 16.
The emergency clause failed by 20 TO
| Il. The appropriation was the pur-
pose Of paying salaries OF teachers
and other employees AT the college for
part of the month of April and the
months Of May and June. Without
the emergency, the appropriation
would not be available until 80 days
after adjournment Of the legislature.
Senator Woods gave notice there
would be n motion TO reconsider the
vote by which the emergency failed.
Horace b. Durant Of Miami, Re-
publican, is the author OF the third
bill of this character. II would APP
proprate $500 to pay for heating
plant for the presidents home at
the Northeastern state normal. II
failed Of passage once, but the vote
was reconsidered, and the bill held
its place on the calendar. Durant
yesterday refused TO call up the mea-
sure for final action.
Among the reasons given by the
senator's maintaining the blockade
for their position are: economy; op-
position TO the principle OF more
money being spent than was APP
propriated; disapproval Of certain
state schools.
