Horseshoes Long in Use.

1t is impossible to state definitely
when horsesh0es were first used. A
coin in the British museum, from Tar
entum, made about 300 b. c. is sup
posed to represent a horse being shod.
1t is not likely, however, that shoeing
with iron was at all common in the
early part Of the Middle ages. Will
liam the Conqueror is believed to have
introduced the art into Britain. For
centuries the art Of the shoeSmith
ranked with that of the scholar and

SENATE ID START WEEK BY RAFTING
 PRESIDENTS VETO
Congressional Jam Threatens Extinction of Much Impor- tant Legislation-Emerg-
 ency Tariff Is Key-Log
By Associated Press

Washington. February 6.-ConEress will start another busy week tomorrow by completing adoption over the Presidents veto of the joint resoyutfon directing the
 cessation of enlistments until the army
 is reduced to 1z5.0o0 men, according to all
 indications tonight.
 The resolution, which was readopted by
 the House yesterday 27l to 16 within six
 hours after the Presidents ye,o had been
 announced, will come up tomorrow in the Senate. There appeared little doubt to> night but that the Senate would dupli-
 cate the action of the House.
 Only 2l working days remain for this session of Congress. and both the House
 and Senate this week will begin early morning and night sessions. The Ford ney emergency tariff bill before the Sen
 ate Is the key log of the congressional
 jam which threatens extinction not only oS much important legislation, but of sew
 eral regular appropriation bills. Passage
 of the tariff bill this week was the aim Iof republican Senate leaders, who then
 plan to put their shoulders behind a
 c,ean-up programme of appropriation
 measures.
 Among important Legislation caught in
 the jam with predictions of extinction
 are the packer regulation bills, the sol- diers bonus measure the Calder coal regulation bill, the measure for reappor-
 tionment of the House and proposals foS disarmament agreements. Sixteen bills have passed the Senate, six are awaiting consideration and others are in Senats committees or awaiting action in tho House. The latter expects this week td
 pass the last four appropriations meas- ures, the huge army and navy budget and the fertilization bills.
 The legislative work is to be interrupt- ed temporarily Wednesday, for the joint congressional session to canvass the eiec- torial vote and for formal declaration ot the election of Warren G. Harding as President and Calvin Coolidge as Vice President.
 r Facing the certainty that much mpor- tant legislation and probably several ap- preparations bills will have to go over until the extra session of Congress, the republican steering committee plans fre- e'shist nleaiiass to decide on nroceNrre. { The House calendar of general leglsla- ton by s3ecial order for tomorrow, with leaders hoping to effect passage of several bills, including that authorizing five new service mems hospitals. the good roads measure and that authorizing partial payments of railroads. accounts with the government.

STOLEN BONDS ARE TAKEN ID MEMPHIS Officers Believe That Large Part of Half Million Dollar
 Steal Is Traced
By Associated Press

Memphis. February 6.--That all or . large part of the $466.000 of Liberty Bonds stolen in Brooklyn hold-up in November were brought to Memphis for sale by way of Clarksdale, Miss. is the conclusion of police here, following an- other day of investigation of the case. Officers intimate that a number of Clarksdale business men, whose names have been mentioned in connection with the sale of the bonds, will be ques- tioned tomorrow.
 Two local lawyers. who have besn connected with Diggs Nolen. one of the men held in the sale of tMe stolen bonds, were questioned by the police today, and Inspector w. T. Griffin aft- erward stated that they had explained their connection with the case in a sat- isfactory manner, and had helped clear up a number. of points on which the police were in doubt. He said that the two lawyers had evidently acted in good faith in the case.
 Local police, New York detectives and government officials will all re- sufne their investigation of the case to- morrow, when, police say. the state- ments of a number of Memphis men whose homes have been mentioned in the case will be heard. No other arr rests are probable until the investiga- tion has been completed, police say. Checking up of the serial numbers of the bonds disposed of here has con- vinced the New York police working on the case that practically all of the stolen bonds were brought to Memphis, they say.
