TO SHEL I've BONUS AND
HURRY UP ON TARIFF
Majorities in Both Houses Recog-
nize Wisdom of President
Harding's Demand.

Washington.-Th soldiers bonus
bill will be recommitted to the Sen
ate Finance Committee and held there
until the financial condition of the gov
ernment and the country warrant ac-
tion upon it, according to all indica-
tiOns.
The appeal Of President Harding to
his former colleagues, coupled with
the solemn warning of Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon that passage now of
bonus bill would be disastrous to all
concerned seems to have had the de-
sired effect. House leaders also ex-
pressed a willingness to cooperate
with the President
Leaders In the senate have canvass
ed the situation and now believe that
whenever President Harding asks for
| further delay In action on the bonus
bill it will be granted by substantial
| majority.
1t is said that of the So senator's now
present in Washington at least 43, and
possibly more, have agreed to accede
to the Presidents request on the boz
nus bill. Action will not be taken,
however, until the receipt of the mes
sage. The senate adjourned in expec-
tation that matters will be forced to a
head soon after 1t meets again.
Republican leaders Of the house stat
ed they approved Mr.. Harding's pro-
gram for deferment of the bonus bill
and speeding the tariff and revenue
measures. They have determined to
devote all energy to prompt enactment
of the tax and tariff bills from now on
and believe this alone Will prevent ac-
hon on the bonus bill at this session.

Chicago Man Reports Success in Novel
Plan for Keeping Pete From

Another western idea was adapted
to city uses the other day when a
south-sider, who once rode the range
on the Colorado plateaus, staked out
his cats to keep them at home. The
plan worked fine and now the feline
animals get the air every day at the
ends Of tether ropes.

time he opened the cellar door the
pets made break for the open, fire.
quently staying away for days and
returning with blackened eyes and
scratched hides. He thought Of the
tether plan, but the first trial was not
a success, as the cats slipped the
nooses from their necks. He then
evolved semi-hobble plan and tied
the heavy string to one Of the cats
hind legs, attaching the other end OF
the string to a stake driven In the
back yard.
This system proved effective and
now every day three of the cats take
their exercise around their tether
stakes.-C Chicago Journal.
