Il was considering the election bill

Sfall OF Hugo had made fiery

the bill. the republicans refused to

purely partisan basis, all republicans

democrats present voting nay.
one Of the points for hothouse
DAYS came up when the bill by Leslie

state board Of control for the adult

OF the whole house. Robertson OF

proposed series of bills to abolish
boards Of control and regents and
Saltcr made peppery Response.

the minority side. Harp of Fair

The measure was amended and is
not yet out OF the legislative woods.

To certainty there are sufficient
votes to accomplish some OF this in
the two houses defeat being only
possible because Of inability to draw
the line where the retrenchment in
appropriation and number should

Should the house send over nine
or 10 bills that would require abol-
ishment OF the several boards and
one or two state offices, and the sem
ate should be able to muster suffi-
cient votes TO have an institutional
adjustment act forwarded to the
house, a conference and little ex-
change OF amnesties might work re-
suits that could not have been sur

present weeks session OF either

some OF the tall legislative fights OF

HEROIC FRENCH WAR BIRDS
Many Pigeons Received Decoration for
Their Services, One Obtaining
the Legion d'Honneur.

II remained for the French to con.
fer in their own charming way the
honors they felt were due their pigeon
heroes. Birds which performed dis
tinguished service or showed unusual
courage in the line OF duty were
awarded the Croix de Guerre or the
Croix Milltaire.
Diplomas with the citations were
issued and kept at the headquarters
of the French Pigeon Service, and be-
cause pigeons cannot wear medals on
their breasts special bands, with the
colors Of the decorations, were made
for their legs.
A bird which will go down in
French history just as surely as Field
Marshal Foch himself is the one which
carried from vaux to yerdun the last
message for help sent by Commandant
Raynal before the Germans captured
the fort. This pigeon flew through
hail of fire and a gas barrage, and
wounded and gassed, dropped dead as
1t delivered its message. 1t was award

NOT MANY MINDED
Authority Shows That Only Two Per

So Classed.

is all wrong, We have illiterales and
feeble-minded in our midst, but they
are relatively negligible. force numer-
ically The reverse idea, or idea in the
reverse, that We are short on genius,
also Is wrong, according to DR.. George
q. Chambers, director of admissions at
the University Of Pennsylvania, ana
the educators who cooperate with
him. Doctor Chambers says genius as
national crop is statlstically as
strong as the more discussed feeble
minded and that each represents
mere per cent of the population.
But genius, says Dr. Chambers, is
not the mere possession Of talent

so hypertrophied tlat il is useless. He
denies genius to the man, however

Among the deer hunters in the new
Jersey woods are more women than
ever before. In fact, 1t was Il very
uncommon thing a few years ago to
see a woman with gun in the woods,
but there were few, generally ma
lives, who hunted the deer for food
more than for fun, but this season
there are a great many women in
suitable hunting togs and equipped
with good guns who are following the
deer with the men. These women Sc
cured their preliminary experience in
