NEW YORK.-On account of

pennant this summer, congress has
decided to stay in session. They

congress basks in an avalanche of

laws for the electorate to fracture,
and chases around for the elusive
quorum. A quorum, under summer
rules, consists of three congressman
and a deck of cards.

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y.-One
woman was overcome by heat this
week and fell into the Niagara river

falls, and another, fainting from ex-
element, followed her. Both were
saved.
Mrs. Joseph Raines, Of this city,
was seated on ledge near the wa
ter's edge, with woman compan-
Ion. Persons near the Goat Island
bridge saw Mrs. Ra1nes and then
the other woman slip into the river
and sounded the alarm.
Several men responded and snatch
ed Mrs. Raines companion from the
water. Mrs. Raines was being swept
toward the falls, when a man, who
later refused to give his name, res
cued her with the aid of a rope,
Edward Hager, of WrightGville,
N. j., had obtained the rope from
his automobile. The unidentified
hero, taking one end, ran along the
shore, passing the woman al she
was being swept down stream.
Then he moved directly out from
the shore and seized Mrs. Raines.
The couple were towed to shore.

men of the department of agriculture
are at work en- means for controlling
the pest. A reported outlying infesta-

Only small sums are at present

will be made to restrict the further
spread of the beetle from these out

DAWES ECONOMIES
TO REDUCE TAXES.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Hope
for a substantial reduction in the
amount of federal taxes depends al
Charles G. Dawes, new budget Of
ficer, 1t was shown today with the
final enactment of the last appropria-
ton meaSure-the naval bill.
Congress, a summary shows, has
authorized the expenditure of approx
imately !$S,6S5,ooO,ooo during the
July 1. Last year for the same pur-
pose. a total of $3,717, 271, 1920 was
appropriated, the reduction thus be-
ing only about $132,000,00O. This
represents a reduction of only thlf-
teen days governmental spending, as
the expenditures have been aver
aging $10,000,000 a day.
Mr.. Dawes has stated that he pro-
poses to reduce the appropriation by
25 per cent during the coming year
which would effect a reduction of
approximately $900,OO0,o0O.
The total appropriations do not in
railroads which last year received
100000, 900.
SO far no appropriation has been
made for the current year, but 1T is
expected that probably $400,O00,O00
will be necessary.
The major part of the reduction
made by congress is accounted for
by the. fact that the appropriations
for good roads were reduced from
$104, 100000 last year to $1,000, 900
for the current year, or a saving OF
$103, 100000 out Of the 1882, 900.
A bill is pending in congress, how
ever, to make another appropriation
of $100,000,00 for this purpose.
The figures indicate that congress
failed to use the ak in reducing gov
ernmental employees and bureaus
here. The regular supply bills for
the last year totalled S2,254, 100000,
as compared with $2,248,0OO, 900 for
the current year, a saving of only
$6,O0O,O00. The balance is accounted
for the permanent appropriations,
such as the interest and sinking
fund on the war debt, these two
items totalling about $3.50, 100000.
