SOMETHING FOR THE SENATE TO

Not so many days ago there was ad- vocacy of the changing of the seniority rules in the senate. It would mean do- Ing away with a practice that has it's good points and one of long standing Even though it has it's advocates it is probable that there is a greater number h opposition.
 But when it comes to the minority of The senate telling the majority of the body what it can do and what it uan.,s- So as has been the case in connection with the anti-lynching bill, it would ap- pear to be time for the upper house of congress to give serious consideration to The ending Of such situation. It is of course all due to the senate. The DOS. abilities of such a thing happening are Rlways good, and will continue until the senate reconsiders an old practice.
 Nothing is more ridiculous than sec Ing the tail wag the dog. and yet that Is just what has happened in thh instance. Whether or not there is 2 majority in favor of the measure, . majority is willing that there should D, disposition of the matter in the sen ate. They are agreeable to the bill be Glg brought to test vote, quite tht same as any other. but through the tac tics that have, been followed by thr democrats of the solid south this ha, been blocked, and blocked effectively and all because the rules of the senat, permit it.
 Confronted with the impossibility o upsetting the filibuster, and of prevent Ing the enactment of any business a all through the insistence upon the en Rctment of the Dyer bill, the republi cans have yielded. It would be a vast of effort to do nothing but fight the fiji buster and at the end of the sessiol lind nothing had been accomplished ex cept the blocking of the Dyer bill.
 IL is therefore not with good grae that the republicans yield. They rec Usnize the impossible, but 1t is a situa ton that calls for such treatment C senate rules that It cannot be repeate In the future, and this is to apply, c course, not to one but to all partisa efforts. It is an enlightening irstanc, however. of what the democrats ar willing to do for. and at the order O The solid south.

CONGRESSMAN MANN.

When it is said that Representative James +. Mann of Illinois is going to be missed in the lower branch of con Gress it means more than that his seat will be vacant and his manner of greet ing and characteristics will be notice able by their absence, for he was one of the. most active members of congress and one who gave close scrutiny to all legislation.
 Much dependence was placed upon Congressman Mann for the discovery of weak or undesirable features in legisla. tlye measures, as parliamentarian and as one who knew what to do when puzzling situations arose. He was 3 well posted man. a ready speaker upon q wide range of subjects, showing the result of his work as student and his concentration upon his legislative actiy- ities. He was closely identified wiEh much legislation, took a deep interest in the promotion of pure food legisla- tion and was the author of the bill which has come into nationwide reputa- tton for the prevention of white slave traffic, better known as the Mann act,
 After spending as many years as he has in congress. where only three oI those still in the service have served longer, it can be appreciated what tht removal of such an important member is certain to mean. His qualification. justified his selection as floor leader O the republicans and in that position ht rendered signal service. In close toucl with legislative detail, influential in tn, entire body, at the head of the comm,t tee on committees it can be appreciated that the district he represented will b. ! obliged to send his successor for man, terms before he will be able to give i the representation that it has been re ceiVing from Congressman Maun, if h ever does.

NEW IDEA IN LIGHTING


 In modern houses the ceiling chan deIer, with it's numerous lights, is used only in the large reception room or drawing room, where there is a constant stream of guests and much formal entertaining.
 For the living room, which needs to be lighted for reading purposes, the center table light takes the place of the d-time candles or oil lamps that, level with the human eye, could throw the light over the Shoulder in the cor rect way. If one light does not seem to be enough, other lights can be placed on smaller tables in corners of the room.
 When there is a fireplace these lights give room peaceful quality that is entirely lacking with only a glaring ceiling light And to the home is deprived of an open fire by the steam or hot water heating systems, they are the bast kind of substitute for the cheering gloW of burning logs

American Education
Glre Every Boy and Ersry Girl 2

 Chance.
 The most noticeable defect in trs classes of the primary departments n American schools is the apparent dis crepancy In the ages of the pupils in the same grade. Fhe range of ages in many first grades runs from 6 years ta Ii, in the second from s to 13, and in the third from to 13. This makes a difference in ages between individual pupils ct 5 years in the first grade, n the second, and in the third for chil- dren who sit side by side and attempt to do the same work in the same length of time and in the same way.
 The two extremes, the retarded pupil and the very bright pupil, have received a major share of consideration during the last two years from educators Bho are working on problems in primary ed- ucation in psychological clinics and de- paHments of research in city school systems.
 Attempts have been made to measure these children by a new standard. Heretofore the child's accomplishment in reading for the first year of his school life has been the unit of meas | uremept ip most schools in the Uniia9i States If he could not read page in l uESl ESdhSI 11tbl0nb lS eda accounted a failure and was required to take the work over. He reentered school where he began the year before I and dragged his weary spirit through 3 repetition of the successes and failures ' of his first years experience
 The appalling percentage of retarda- | tion in the first grade, about one pupil \ in four being counted at the end o6 the year as a failure, has aroused th, l thinking educator to the lack of eficien l cy in this method of early education. 1 Attention has at last been turneI from methods of teaching to the chilt himself, to ascertain why he fails ant l in what way he differs from his class l mates who have passed on to a highe l grade and have left him stranded. It i 1 proposed to take a simple measurs mept of his mental ability. usually D. some modification of the Binet scale 1 and then to adapt the course of stud and the methods of teaching to his par ticular type of coupetency.
 F The child with unusually good endoB ment has suffered fully as much in ou gnblie7sehool system as the chih who retarded. The very bright ehild wi learn to read and write, wily-nillJ given the least opporpnity, and ther is no boyer that can stop him. Fl
 measure of epqnpetepSy should be as certained. and he should be given th appropyiate stimuli in his public schos course to train his superior abil.ty.

CARE OF NELVETs

Since there is in this season such a decided vogue for yelvets a seriouk part of good grooming lies in frequent use of the dust brush. Velvet clothes should never be put away after wear ing without giving them a most care- full ddstfng, and when they are put away they should be carefully covered. A piece of silk crepe is an excellent duster for velvet costumes when they are not too dusty. Nothing gives a woman shabby look so effectively as dust on her clothes and velvet is a dust catcher par excellence. Unless woman iB willing to take the pains she would do better to banish the regal material from her wardrobe in favor of materials that do not catch the dust so or suffer So from g dusty anpearance.

NEW LIsLE BANK

The long skirt is bringing back the lisle bank in all it's old usefulness. It's trailing lengths provide safety and the neegssary seclusion. The heavier hose that snuggle in under cover of the new obscurity are an added help. Cotton, lisle and heather mixtures hold the hoards of gold more securely than did silk.
 knitting are an added factor in the comeback of the lisle bank. There can be no rips in the back of these to inn peril the savings. And the narrow hem med hose that are proof against the depredations of the garter gpard the bank against runs. Everybody knows the. tragedy and disaster wrqught by runs on banks and runs in stockings

If no crib is available, a cl9thels bas- ket or a bow of sufficient size is a good substitute. An expensive mat
 tress is not necessary. A simple mat tress made of excelsior and covered with a heavy blanket will answer very we'll A sufficient quantity of clean bed clothing should be provided.

KITCHEN GAS BRACKETS

Gas brackets look very unsightly when they get dingy and tarnished, and this happens more usually in the kitchen and bathroom, where the damp atmosphere acts upon the met al.
 Clean the brass with emery cloth and finally wash with strong soda and water. When quite dry apply a coat of aluminium paint or white enamel. This is easily kept clean and gives the bracket a much better appearance In- candescent burners should always be used in preference to inc "fish tail' variety.
