cight-six projects, i'll more than
one-third Of the counties of the
state. The estimated cost of the

because Of the large amount of
road work planned contractors
came here from several surround
ing states, particularly from Kan
sas, Iowa and Illinois.
Before the bids were opened b.
W. Picpmcier, chief engineer,
told of the desire of the Missouri
commission to spend the state
bond money as economically as
possible, and rush the construc-

MOVE TO BAR LAME DUCK"
Defeated Members of Congress
Would be Forced to Step Out.

Washington, Dec. Move
ments are under way to make the
lame duck" an extinct species
in congress.
| Several proposed amendments
to the Constitution of the United
States and number Of bills, all
looking to the removal of the Off
cial heads of senator's and con-
gressmen us soon as they have
been condemned to private life
by their constituencies, are being
given serious consideration in con-
gress now because of the situa-
ton that has developed in the
two houses as a result Of the cleo
ton November 7.
Under existing conditions, a
"repudiated congress- to use the
characterization of the Demo-
Gratis, is cndeavoring to enact
legislation which could not ne
passed if the senators and repre-.
sentatives, with their fresh man
dates from the people, composed
the law-making body Of the coun-
try. Efforts are being made to
jam through the ship subsidy bill
and other administration policy
measures before the Republican
majority shrinks to the vanishing
point March 1 as a result Of the
last election.
Many Republicans as well as
Democratic members of congress
believe the provisions of the Con-
stitution, by which senators and
representatives continue in office
four months after they have been
defeated is wrong, and that a
congress that has failed to get the
Endorsement of the American peo-
pie should cease to exist almos:
Immediately after an election, as
is the ease with the British par
lament.
Unless President Harding calls
an extra session Of congress after
March / it will be a year and a
month from the time the old con
gresS was rejected by the voters
until the newly elected congress
meets. The regular session OF the
new congress will begin next De-
cember, although the terms of the
retiring members will expire
March t, next. 1t is contendcd by
the advocates Of a change that it
should be possible for the will OF
the people to be reflected in leg
islation in less than a year.
What business man., asked
Senator La Toilette of Wiscon-

of them without political futures,

WHEY WAS "WISE" TO HIM
Excellent Reason Why Reporter Need ed That Raise of Salary He Had
 Applied For.

Augustus Thomas, the veteran play wright, said at a wedding breakfast in New York:
 "When a marriage fails it is usu- ally because one or the other of the contracting parties starts out with the resolve to be false to his or her con tracts.
 "Years ago, when I was a reporter in St. Louis, a colleague of mine went to the city editor and said:
 "Td like raise. Pm married now, you know
 "'Yes, yes. know said the city editor, a kindly, genial soul. And, of course, you need the raise for your family, don't you?
 "'No, I don't said the reporter. I need 1t for myself My wife, you see, has found out what Pm getting now.'"

pubIIn Now called RaIIacIee.

Just why the provisional govern ment should have changed the name of the capital from Dublin, apparent ly Celtic in origin, if not in spelling. to the Baile Ath Cliath, which is the postmark on all letters which are received today from the recent war area of Sackville street, is somewhat puzzling. Dubhlinn, the black pool, a reference to the Liffey, is said to have been given as name twenty centu- ries ago, and was used by the Danes The new name is pronounced Bella clee, the town of the hurdle ford, de- rived from the somewhat marshy crossing paved with wooden hurlles at the point where the coast road from Wicklow to Tara, then the capI- tai of Ireland, passed over the River Liffey.

C0WBELLS SAVE THE GRAPES
Novel Alarm Devised by New Yorker to Discourage Expectations of
 Nocturnal Visitors.

Exasperated by nightly raids of small boys on his grape arbor, a Sheepshead Bay (N. Y.) resident has stopped their depredatlons by attach ing cowbells to the vines. The slight est pull at the tempting fruit jingles the alarm and puts the intruders to flight.
 The sandy soil near the bay is par ticularly adapted for grapes and most of the other houses have large arbors in the back yard. Boys from the new CT houses, which have no arbors, be- gan to call under the cover of dark ness even before the grapes were ripe. They not only took the fruit, but ruined the vines by crawling and stum- bling over the arbor.
 But the cowbell alarm brings the owner to the door and second scare is generally avoided by the boys. Sev- eral neighbors, noting the efficiency of the system, have also installed cow bells among their grape vines.

WAS WISER THAN HE LOOKED
5ucoIic-Appearing Individual Surprised the Scientific SharPs of Prom
 inent Washington Club.

You never can tell by appearances just who is the real wise individual. The other afternoon a number of men were discussing the latest scientific achievements in one corner of a room at a well-known club. There was a man who had all the earmarks of hay ing lately arrived from a seasons work on the farm. His head was thin ly covered with hair, astride his nose sat a pair of steel-rimmed spectacles, on his chin grew billygoat-like whis- kers, his clothing hung on rather than fitted him. Finally one of the party, who had been c0nversing on scientific matters, turned and in rather joking way asked the one of bucolic appear ance what he thought of the matter. Quick as a flash came back a 15-minute learned dissertation on the subject un- der discussion. I afterwards learned that the one of rubelike appearance was one of England's famous scien- tists.-Washington Star.

No Rest.

A certain man had been henpecked all his life. Finally his wife talked him to death, and he went to -eaven and St. Peter felt so sorry for him that he gave him little cloud all his own. He had just sat down and was enjoying the quiet when he heard his name being loudly paged by an angel.
 He called to the angel: Here am; what do you want?"
 The angel said: 'Your wife wants you on the Ouija boarI."
