WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The House tie-up for the speakership blocked bus mess in the senate today, as by long established precedents the Senate is obligated not to transact any business until the House has been organized.
 This prevented the Senate from in- troducing bills and resolutions, and will compel the adjournment of the Senate until tomorrow without other procedure than calling the roll. Un- less the deadlock is ended tomorrow, it will be impossible for President Coolidge's annual message to be de- livered Wednesday.
 By throwing their seventeen votes steadily for Representative Henry Cooper, republican, of Wisconsin, in- surgents prevented republican regu- lars from mastering majority of the House necessary to elect speaker. At the same time Democrats could not muster majority for Representative F. A. Garrett, democrat, of Tennessee for minority leader.

If the ancient Greeks could revisit

niZe their beautiful country, IL the
statements made by II authority
can be sustained. Attica has lost the
greater part of its forests, the rain
fall has decreased and the tempera-
ture has increased. The heat in the
open air now, it is commended, is so
great that the Olympian games of an
tiquity would he virtually impossible
today. Many other parts of the earth
show similar changes. The once
beautiful oasis in the Syrian desert,
where Zenobia reigned over Palmyra,
is now a desOlatc waste. In upper
Egypt. where only ii hundred years
ago rain was abundant. drought now
usually prevails.
