RELIEF MEASURES
PASSED BY HOUSE
Two Get Through While One Barely
Fails. Another Chance Yet

Washington, Feb. S.-Two big re-
lief measures were put through the
house in a hurry today. and third
was beaten by slight margin.
Called up under suspension OF
rules "a proceeding which required
\ two-thirds vote on passage, the
s1s,oOO,OOO soldier hospital bill
was passed by rising vote and the
100000 road fund appropria-
Son won with votes to spare.
The big upset of the day was the
defeat Of the Winslow bill to permit
partial payments to railroads under
the guaranty section of the trans
portation act. Backed almost solidly
BY Republicans, it was killed be-
cause two members did not shout
answers when their names were
called. Democrats lined up almost as
a unit against the measure, and
criticised the Republicans for at
tempting to rush it through with de-
bate limited and no opportunity for
amendment.
The defeat of the Winslow bill to-
day, however was only temporary,
for after failing to receive the nee
essary two-thirds vote, the house
rules committee reported a rule
which provides for its consideration
tomorrow Immediately after the
house convenes. The vote today was
220 to III, which line up if main
tanned tomorrow easily will give the
measure the simple majority that
then only will be needed.
Passage by the house Of the bill
appropriating funds for the hospi-
talization of disabled service men,
was followed by the adoption of
similar legislation by the senate.
The latter went the house one
better, however, making a total ap-
preparation of s1s,60o,00O available
through an amendment tackled on
the sundry civil bill.

COTTON REDUCTION
MEASURE is KILLED

Columbia, Feb. 10.-By vote Of
II to % the South Carolina House
of Representatives today struck out
the enacting words of the resolution
which would have required the re-
duction of cotton acreage this year
to one-third Of the 1920 acreage.
The death blow followed speeches
by two farmer members, Bucking-
Orangeburg who warmly alleged
that the farmers did not want to
have this restriction thrown around
their operations.
The debate on the cotton acreage
reduction bill was warm at times.
Representative McInness, of Dar-
lington, spoke first, urging passage
of the resolution, to save the price
of cotton this year. Representative
Buckingham, of Aiken, a farmer,
opposed the resolution.
The resolution was introduced by
Mr.. Mower, of Newberry Cotton As
sociation. There was little sentiment
expressed in favor of it, however.
The house began this afternoon a
debate on Representative Sapp's s
resolution for a constitutional con-
vention, Mr.. Sapp speaking urgent
ly for it's enactment, pointing to de-
fects in the state tax machinery
which demand revision he said.

ENGLAND WRECkS AIR FLEET CAMOUFLAGING MOVEMENT TO

London, Oct. Curiosity which the American flying world reveals regard ing Britain's real reasons for her pro- posal to abandon her 1ighter-than- air flying program is sharpened into real concern in the Dominions, par ticularly in Australia

 To Develop Air Routes.

They proposed, further, to refer to their respective constituencies a plan for creating ting - and in .,rnsin msintaining aiming which shall draw the far frontiers of the Empire into closer contact with London.

 Program of Tactics.
 The Government of Lloyd George is a constant program of tactics, so man. ipu1ated as to swing public opinion Public opinion most emphatically demanded economy of the most rigid kind. Public oinion was encouraged in this by Lord Northcliffe and many other leaders.
 George, perhaps, wanted the air arm to continue effective. But a cut there would be a most spectacu- lar form of economy. AirShips cost impressive round figures, and upkeep is heavy.
 An announcement that all Britain's airshipS and airship bases would be handed over to private companies was a startling story It showed how far the Government would go in fulfill ing it's pledges. Statistics of money saved means little to the public mind; discarding a fleet of super Zeppelins made an impression.
 Further, perhaps, George figured that 1t would have a rebound. He

 Those who are in the habit of doping Worlds Series point to the fact that pitcilzng has decided the issue in most series of the past. But with this in mind it is well to re- member that two teams with such terrific batting ability are more than biaible to knock precedent into a cooked hat
 The Tanks, with Miller, Peck, Ruth, Bob Muesel.

Ruth's fine bat Yank percentage. Emil MeuserS .343 is high for the Giants In face of such figures the batting reputation of the Tanks loses some of its color.
 As a base running team the Giants have somewhat of an edge on the Tanks. They have pilfered 13S bases this season against S1 for the Yankees and speed on the paths means speed after all Ruth, king of batsmen, and Mays are the mains.ays of the Tanks.
 The Giants have no one to compare with Ruth but they have five 300 hit ters in the first seven niches in their batting order against three 300 swatsnen for the Tanks and they have SOuthDaw Nchf a real menace in the boS, for any team to face.

 It did have a rebound. The Do- minion Premiers wanted Empire air lines, possible only through lighter than-air craft. They wanted them badly enough to pay for them, or pay toward them.
 Great Vote Wanted.
 But the Air Ministry has its orders to dispose of the airships. It must The Premier declaration is as yet merely cue of principle and cannot take the guaranteed cash form until they have reached their capitals and succeeded in getting a vote of credit from their Legislatures.
 Thereupon arises a strong agita- tion for suspending the disposals pro- to reach home and report. The Times, at the forefront of most campaigns for air development, leads this agitation

 This is hypothetical. but well probability will be full agreement soon that the airship program is to continue.

 "Im having a terrible time" writes A L. w. 'I simply don't know what to talk about when I get out Tn company.

"So all that can be the matter with me is that Pm not a good talker: I'm not tongue-tied. Sometimes find can rattle along real well, and then at others when I think how little in terest folks seem to show in what I have to say I just go into my shell. But I'm always feeling awkward and wishing I could make myself inter esting.''
 Being interesting isn't a matter of ''rattling along" It isn't even a mat ter of talking. So much has been seems odd the idea of cultivatirg the art of listening we'll has not occurred to more folks who find that talking well is beyond them.
 Now, listening well is not a matter of sitting still and giving some one else the floor. It has just as much to do with drawing other folks out so they're willing to express themselves

 Don't strain and make an eager ef- fort to be charming when you meet folks. Just sit back and take it easy and hunt for something to like in them instead of wondering what you can make them like in you. Don't worry for fear folks will think you a bore and run along to pastures new

DEMOCRATS TO
 HAVE 2 TICKETS IN SECOND DISTRICT

Two tickets will be presented to the Democratic voters of the Second dis trict in the primaries, a second eau GUS having been held yesterday af- ternoon by the faction supporting William P. Corr. At the gathering of members of the Second District club last Thursday efforts were made at attaining harmony, but the only compromise ticket which Corr would agree to was one on which his sup porterS had equal representation. Be- cause Of the fact that an agreement could not be reached at that time the second caucus was held yester- day. In spite of the fact that the group nominated is an inSurgent one. support at the primaries, if named. was promised to Town Chairman John A. Cornell.
 The slate which is headed by Corr also contains the names of Thomas Whaley, Miss Margaret Lucey, James H. Wheldon and John Donahue. John J. Ford, former alderman, is the candidate for that ohce-
