Observation-Disclosures TO Open
Debate Tomorrow

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22-Senate Re
publican leaders continued negotiations
yesterday for unanimous-consent
agreement for a final senate vote on the
soldiers bonus bill. but apparently with
little prospect of immediate success.
Some progress was reported, but it was
understood that four or five senators OBJ
iecfed to an agreement at this time.
The bonus measure is the senate's un-
finished business and will be taken up
after the senate reconyenes Wednesday.

some majority leaders said that unless
there was an agreement meantime Tor
a time for the final vote the legislation
would have to be fought out TO hnlsh

Estimates as to the time which would
be required to pass the measure in the
absence of any agreement varied, but II
appeared that it might require several
weeks. Several substitute measures
have been proposed and. in addition,
MANY amendments to the committee
draft are promised. All of these are ex-

Error concernno Peanuts.

The erroneous idea that eating pea
nuts will affect the growth Of hair
may have arisen from the fact that
hair, wool, feathers, and similar an
lmal tissues, when analysed, show q
relatively large amount of cystine,
which is one of the amino acids pres
ent in protein. Even were the as
sumption true that by eating foods
containing cystine the growth of hair
