 There has been a lot of experi-
 menting. both in the army and the
 marine corps, since the war, with types of hand carts to carry part of
 the doughboy's load. They are still at 1t, but results thus far are not promising except where the march Is over good roads. Off the roads, the doughboys, after the trial. show a tendency to prefer taking the load on their own shoulders. Down at Fort Benning, the infan- were tried out scientifically. Student officers volunteered for the tests, trudging all day cross country haul ing carts after them. Each night they underwent minute physical ex- animation in comparison with com rades who had packed similar loads on their shoulders over the same route. In each case the doctors noted a distinctly greater degree of eX- haustion among the men who hauled the carts
 The possibilities of light motor wheel carts are still to be explored. Various types are to be used. par ticularly to take some of the machine gun load. But it is now the judg- ment of experienced officers that the brawny back of thes doughboy will continue to be the main reliance of armies for front line operations.

KANSAS CITY, April 1.-The bud ding aspirations of loyal Kansas City endurance dancers to bring the worlds nonstop record to the heart of America has been smothered by a disdainful board of public welfare.
 Members of the board are devotees of longevity, but rather of life than of dancing, and claim that life and perpetual dancing don't go hand in hand, or foot in foot, either.

 GOVERNOR, HE SAYS.
Judge Holmes After Seeing Prisoner Stands Firm On
 Sentence

OXFORD, Miss, April 17.-Refusal of Federal Judge Edwin R. Holmes to reduce the sentence of 30 days inn prisonment and $100 fine imposed upon Theo G. Bilbo, former governor of Mississippi, and rejection by the imprisoned political leader of a lucra tive offer from motion picture con- cern for 100 lectures throughout the country, featured the second day in jail of the former state executive, who is serving sentence here for con- tempt of court in failing to appear as d witness in the Russell -Birkhead suit last fall.
 MT. Bilbo, moreover intimated his intention of declaring tomorrow his candidacy for the governorship of Mississippi.
 Judge Holmes refusal to decrease the sentence followed his visit to the jail by request of MT. Bilbo, who sig nified by messenger his purpose in the desired visit. The judge and the prisoner held private conference for several minutes.
 MT. Bilbo declined to give the name of the theatrical syndicate which he

Throughout the day the prisoner received telegrams from political fol- lowers in every part of Mississippi urging him to announce his candi- dacy for the governorship. He con ferred with number of his sup porters who had come to Oxford to visit him. The only formal state ment he would make asserted: "l will state this much. after 12 years Of faithful service as senator, lieuten- ant governor and governor. 1t would hardly be fair to my friends to close my political career in jail"
 His first night in confinement, the former governor said today, was spent in comfort, except for the at tempt of rat which entered his room to carry off his socks.
 With the thfong of callers who crowded his room in the jail today, Mir. Bilbo ccnversed laughingly about his confinement. referring to it as "my enforced vacation"

Then there will be the long, -drawn-out run ming debate, the consideration of amendments and new reservations, the voting down of freak riders and motions, and the inevitable political haranguing which both sides will in dUlge in freely Also, there are the dozen or so regular appropriation bills which require several months under the most favorable conditions. sandwiching Debate.
 This heavy legislative schedule makes it necessary for the President to arrange a system by which every thing can be dovetailed and squeezed into the limited time available.

WASHINGTON, April r. Pres ident Harding has begun the delicate task of shaping that crucial section of his legislative program on which his campaign for reelection will be based. He is compelled to exercise great foresight and sureness of touch In this task for two reasons:
 First, his slender majority in the House and Senate makes it necessary for him to depend either on the in- dependent republican progressives or on casual democratic support in or der to carry his measures. Hence he must sound them out and ascertain
