TWO SESSIONS MAKE
RECORDS FOR COSTS
IN STATE ANNALS
Total $4I7,o is Charged Against
Il. Hyde Administration in 7
Months.

Months.
Jefferson City, Aug. .3.-The spe-
cial session of the legislature, which
adjourned Wednesday, cost the tax
payers Of. the state $12I,ooo, which
| makes a total Of $4I7,ooo the 1egisla-
ture has cost since Governor Hyde
has been in office seven months. VIZ
The special session was extended
for several weeks because of the gov
ernor's, submitting large number OF
unimportant propositions to the legis-
lators.
The special session first appropri-
ated 100000 for the contingent ex-
penses and the salaries of members,
but because Of the large number OF
useless clerks carried on the payroll
it was necessary to increase this ap-
preparation to $I2I,ooo. This is the
largest amount ever spent by spe-
cial session of the legislature while
the regular session of the general
assembly was the most extravagant
in the history of Missouri. 1t was
necessary for the special session to
appropriate $4,000 to take care OF
the deficiency of the regular session
although $28o,ooo had been set aside
for the 7o-nay- session.
The extravaganza of both the regu-
lar and special sessions was caused
by more than 100 useless clerks being
on the payroll, including the wives,
sons, daughters and other relatives OF
Republican representatives and sena-
tors. More than 40 members succeed
ed in having either their wives or
other members of the family con-
nected with the payroll.
Mrs. Orpha Stockard, wife of Rep
resentative Stockard, of Greene
county, was placed on the senate
payroll by Senator Bennett of Dallas
county. ....
Senator Chambers, St. Clair colt1-
ty and Senator Collins, Pettis coun-
ty, seemed to fare the best in the up
per house. The former had Tom
Chambers and Mary Chambers OH
the payroll while the Pettis county
senator saw that his wife and son,
Harold Collins, drew their bi,month-
ly checks from the state auditor.
Senator LaFavor, Nodaway coun-
ty, and his daughter, Mildred La
Favor, on the payroll; Senator Pick
EFT, Grundy, Mrs. Nora Pickett; Sem
ator Tout of Cass, Anna NJ. Tout;
Senator Warner St. Louis, Mrs. Mar
garet Warner, Russell Pickett also
was messenger in the senate.
The Republican members of the
house established record during the
regular session for nepotism.

May Hike Parcel Post Rates.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Parcel post
rates must be increased if an irvssti-
CATION shows that this service is re-
sponsible for an expected deficit of
70 million dollars in the postal rev.
enue this year, Postmaster General
Will Hays said today.
Accountants and postoffice en-
gineers are now checking through
the entire country to learn if the
parcel post is, as believed, one Of the
two big losing ventures of the de-
-partment
Until 1920 postal revenues exceed
expenditures for several years, but
now deficits are showing, due to bus
mess depression, increased wages
and increased compen sation to rail
roads for carrying mails.
"The parcel post system is COM
mercial venture. pure and simple"
said Hays. There is every reason
therefore why it should be made at
least self-supporting. This does not
hold true of. some other services rem
dered by the postoffice which neces-
sarily must be accomplished at a
loss"
Hays explained why deficit is ex-
pected this year and gave an itemized
statement showing where and how
the department plans to reduce oper-
ating costs by. nearly IS million dol
lars.

HlMALAYAS IN SECOND PLACE
Explorations In Tibet Have Revealed
Existence of More Massive
Mountain Range.

Among the greatest results achieved
by the Hedin explorations in Tibet
was the discovery of a continuous
mountain chain, 1000 miles long,
stretching east and west, and which,
taken as whole, is the most massive
range on the crust of the earth It's
average height above sea level is
greater than that of the Hlmalayas,
and although its peaks are from 1000
to 5000 feet lower than Mount Ever
est, its passes average 5000 feet high
er than those Of the Himalayas.
The eastern and western parts of
this range were known before, but the
central and highest part, in Bongba,
was UNEMPLOYED previous to Doctor
Hedin's visit. He crossed ten passes
In the range.

FELT SOMETHING WAS WRONG
Youngsters Experience Made Him
Doubt Whether His Prayers Were
Really Acceptable.

In the smoking room of La France,
on a cool, rough, windy day, George
Gould said:
"These winter passages are I'M
pleasant, but they're never dangerous.
zone bleak December day 1 was sit
ting, wrapped up in furs and rugs, in
a sheltered corner of the promenade
deck of a Cunarder. The seas were
mountains high. The good old boat
seemed to stand on her head one min
ute, and the next she reared right up
on her hind legs.
"A tiny tot of boy made his way
cautiously to the young and pretty
matron seated next me. He steadied
himself against her deck chair and
said:
Mamma, is it wrong to pray that
we get home safer
"'Of course not, darling
"Well' he went on, I've been
kneeling on locker trying to pray
that we arrive safe in port, and each
time I begin the ship heaves up and
throws me on the deck"

Hoppe Demonstrating Masse Shot.

where the two object balls would rest
when he had finished making the point
Immediately before him. He knew,
too, whether he would then be in a
position to get the balls out of ballI
and still continue scoring.
TO accomplish these things as Hoppe
did, second ball play was a leading
factor 1t is simple enough to stroke
the first object ball so that the player
will know where it is going to come to
a stop, but 1t is quite another matter
to figure to, hit the second object ball,
whether 1t will be on the inside or the
outside and with what speed. Hopes
second ball playing was almost per-
feet, and had 1t not been for the ad-
verse atmospheric conditions that pre-
vailed throughout most of the matches,
there is little doubt that his runs and
his averages would have been greater.
These conditions initiated against the
best billiards being played and, Of
course, seriously affected the playing
Of Cochran and Schaefer as we'll.
The contrast in delicate work was
particularly marked IN the control the
players were able to exercise over the
balls when they were in the corners.
In the open Cochran and Schaefer
played just as brilliantly as did the
champion, but when 1t came to the ex-
tremely fine work required in govern
ing the action of the worries in close
manipulation there was no comparison.
Hoppe proved In this work that he is
In a class by himself.
Years ago Hoppe so far outclassed
all other players in this country at 1871
balkline that the game virtually be-
came dead one in the United States.
Few balkline players were willing to
match their skill against Hopes at
this style of play. They realized 1t
was a useless task. A similar condl-
tiOn is rapidly developing at the some
what easier game Of 1872.

are almost too small for any use.
The state official said that 81 ar

ty this year, and that the violations
still continue. However, he declar-
ed that with confiscation of fish and
fines being assessed the cost of
law breaking is such that few ever
repeat a violation. In the instance

estimated that the company lost
approximately $500.
