llliteracy Is
 Growing In City

Washington, ID. C., Aug. 3-The Census Bureau reports that in the population of Bridgeport, Conn.,, as enumerated in January, 1920, there were 7,743 persons 10 years of age and over who were illiterate in the sense of being unable to write, in- cluding 11G native whites, 7,411 for eign-born whites, and TIP negroes The percentage of illiteracy in the to- tai population 10 years of age and over, is 6.9 which shows slight in crease since 1910 when it was 5.4. For the native white the percentage is 0.2, for the foreign-born white 16.2, and for the negro, 90.
 That the younger generation in this city is much less illiterate than the older, is indicated by the fact that while S.2 per cent. of the males and 90 per cent. of the females 21 years of age and over are illiterate, the percentage of illiteracy in the population 16 to 20 years of age, is but IA.

 Families have been broken up over the question of where our laundry machines come from, and hot words have been passed between friends in arguments as to who was emperor of Mexico when Cortes landed. No one has omitted to make funny combination crack about the inventor of the cotton gin and pro- hibition.
 And yet, after all, young man work ing for Mir. Edison who could answer all these questions would be a distinct addition to the personnel of the shop. Not only could he tell Mir Edison him. self, what the anwers are. but he would be invaluable to send out as a repre- sentative of theI company on repair jobs and the like.
 WHEN CALL COMES
 Supposing,' for instance, telephone call came, as they must often come, to the office of the Edison company in which the following service was asked for:
 Hello. Edison Scompany? We'll this is H. K. Rasher, of 1S45 Merrybell avenue Our dining room buzzer Is out of order.

SIX THOUSAND BILLS. ARE INTRODUCED.
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age-Herald
 500 Davidson Building

Washington, May (Special)-- Members of the House, in effort to apply remedies to the evil conditions cf the country, and. incidentally, to immortalize themselves as great law makers, introduced, Within the first month Of the current extraordinary session of Congress- 6,109 bills. SC House resolutions, i115 House joint resolutions, and 16 House concurrent resolutions.
 Initiation of Legislation, in other words has been undertaken by each of the 425 members of the House on an average of 15 times. The record Is Gardantuan. IL is without precedent.
 Thomas Jefferson by this House is made to appear ridiculous-Thomas Jefferson and others who stated the fact that the best governed people are the least governed. 1t is probable that the overwhe lningly republican ma iority has taken delight in thus prov ing the father of democracy greatly in error Tn this connection, however, it Is recalled that present republican member of the House. Manuel Herric'i cf Oklahoma, in writing of his i'm pressions to his constituents, included this line:
 "The Average Congressman is Joke"
 The unprecedented number of bills, it is regarded as entirely probable, is due to the unprecedented number of new members who took up duties as givers of the law. March 4. It is said that every new member of Congress, for at least three months, seriously entertains the idea that he has been divinely called to remedy conditions and make "this glorius union what destiny declares it must be-"
 Nevertheless, the bill and enrolling clerks are expressing themselves free ly The average congressman in their estimation stands no higher than he stands in the opinion of one of them, MT. Herricl1 of Oklahoma.
