 CUT BY PASSAGE OF
 CONSERVATION BILL
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU |
 THE AGE-HERALD {, Montgomery. Ala. Jan. 25 1

Legislation intended to reduce the open season on the killing of game birds in Alabama received the appro- val of the house yesterday. Without opposition the house passed three of the four bills offered by Represen- tative Champ Pickens of Sumter county at the request of the state department of conservation.
 One of the bills prohibits the kill ing of more than 15 quail in any one day, one buck deer. one turkey gobbler, or a greater number of mi- gratory birds than Is permitted by federal regulation. This bill also pro- hibits the killing Of more than five deer or ten turkey gobblers during any Ione season.
 Another of the bills is intended to make the standard of the game pro- tective laws of Alabama conform to the standards established by federal regulation under the migratory bird treaty act.
 A third bill reduces the open sea- son on game birds. If it becomes a law turkey gobblers can be killed only between December 1 and April 1 and quail between November 20 and February 20.

Custom commissioners, regarding calcium arsenate as compound of arsenic acid. have concluded to de- mand payment of an advalorem duty of 25 per cent on it's importation, the Senate was informed today.
 Senator smith of South Carolina. on the floor, explained that he and others
 were convinced that when they mt through an amendment to the tariff act eliminating from the dutiable list arsCnious acid white arsenic and sul-
 phate Of arsenic. calcium arserate was cared for. He contended that custom commissioners are running contrary to tho sense Of She Senate action, if not to the letter.
 He will offer d more specific amendment to the tariff act. At the same time Senator Smith spoke. Sen ator Harris of Georgia was introduce ing a bill relieving calcium arsenate Of all duty. He explained that this posion, of which the south, fighting
 the boil weeviI. is so badly in need
 would be imported in great quantities from Geemany were it relieved of duty
 When the agricultural department formally declared some mohths ago that calcium arsenate was effective in fighting the weevil, 1t was learned that thele was an acute shortage in the United States Senator Smith and ScHa''r If1rr:s put through a reso> lutien providing for the creation of a revolving fund for the purchase of ritrates and arsenate.

 Senator Fletcher of Florida it inn mediaiely developed that producers had increased the price of arsenats from 5G to 10e per cent. He sscured

LITTLE PROBABILITY
 OF SENATE ADOPTING H EFLI=N RESOLUTION
WASHINGTON BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD Washington. D. C.. Jan. p ]

An investigation indicates that
 there is no probability Of the Senate
 adopting a resolution by Senator lGefin Of Alabama, empowering the
 Secretary of Agriculture to suspend
 an operator of the New York cotton exchange on complaint of two South ern governors who think that he has violated some law.
 Senator Hefln, while opposing tho proposed amendment of Senator Dial devised to make future contracts more definite as to the grade Of cot ton to be delivered, offered his res olution.
 Senator Dial, who declares it neees- sary for the southern farmer that the exchanges be curbed and forced to deliver approximately in the grade
 they contract tG deliver, states that he would not support the Heflin res olution.
 The indications are that the Sen ate will yet be forced to adopt something approximating the Dial amendment. Senator Dial today de- clared that he would renew the fight in the near future in belief that a
 majority of the Senate will support 1 his amendment when offered as a separate and distinct proposition.
 As if aware of the purpose of Sen ator Dial. it is reported that repre- sentatives of the cotton exchanges. who departed so happily some days ago, have already returned. The Dial amendment is an out growth of a similar amendment pro- posed some years ago by former Sen
 ator B. B. Conner of Alabama.

 With nod he went on into his office
 As he put up powders for rheu- matic patient his thoughts were busy with the woman he had left stand ing in the passage.
 If God gave her that complexion she ought to thank Him for perfect health. If, on the other hand, that coloring is the work of art, it is a darned good job; I wonder what kind of wife she made to Kenneth Lang, Sr.? Somehow,I do not quite fancy her as mother. It is too bad, but
 He checked his ruminations along these lines to count the powders he was preparing.
 The object of Samuel Grants spec uiations remained in the little pas sage after he had closed his office door. Then, very softly, she went into the room opening out upon the side veranda. There was no light in this room, and, as she entered it, she drew together the portieres behind her.. This made the room she had just entered very dark.
 A Sudden Interruption
 Noislessly she crept forward then she stood still.
 The pair seated on the veranda were not speaking at this instant. She wondered if they had been silent ever since she and the physician had left them. If so, it was not good sign. For two people to sit together without speaking indicates that they have nothing in common or are on such good terms that speech ,s un- necessary. She strained her eyes to peer at the dim exterior. A light spot showed her that Ruth Grant was just where she had been ever since sup per. It was evident that the couple had not changed their positions.
 But even as the mother reached this conviction, her son rose to his feet and moved towards the girl

 Samuel Grant, like most physi- clans, was used to women of all types. So he was not as much moved by Beatrice Langs maternal anxiety as less sophisticated man might have been. Still he spoke kindly in answer to her query.
 'I do not see that the lad is bit the worse for his wetting.1 he as- sured her. "I wish he could stay for twenty-four hours more, so that might be certain that he has taken no cold. Yet l watched him at sup per and noticed that his color was good. Had he gotten chilled his lips and cheeks would not have been red -as they were"
 You would advise him remaining here longer than he suggested dolng?" the mother asked now. In her fertile brain scheme had been forming, and her withdrawal from the side veranda had been a part of it. T mean-you think he would best stay here until day after to- morrow"
 T had expected that he-and you would stay longer than that" the man said quietly. However, 1 do not NdHl lO lHieIIeEe WllH nlS-Of your plans or wishes. Yet-I do think that every day the lad stays here gives him more strength for his journey and for the work awaiting him at home"
 And the pleasure there, too, per haps,' she supplemented. (Her arch smile puzzled her companion. What under the sun was she driving at?) T agree with you that he should not be too rash in his movements. So, If perfectly convenient to you and Miss Grant-and if Kenneth feels he can spare that much more time here we may take advantage of your hos pitality for another twenty-four hours"
 She was rather handsome, Samuel Grant reflected as he looked down into the dark eyes raised so appeal ingly to him. One would hardly be- lieve her the mother of grown son. She must have remarkable health to keep her complexion like that-and she had probably taken excellent care of herself.
 That's a good idea" he declared in answer to her suggestion. See what the boy thinks about it. Ex-

 q wish" the girl said as she obeyed her guests bidding, that you would please call me Ruth Nobody calls me Miss Grant-at least nobody 1 like"
 Then if I call you Ruth that will be an implication that you like me?' the widow asked.
 The girl laughed, note of relief in her voice.
 Yes, indeed, if such proof is need- ed" she replied.
 The ice was broken and the elderly woman and the young one chatted pleasantly for the next half hour. Kenneth said little. His mothers attitude puzzled him. He knew that she did not approve of his intimacy with this country girl; that she want cd him to marry Victoria Walsh.
 What had seemed like gentle rail- lery on her part had been reminder to him that the girl he must marry was waiting for him in SaXville. Why, then, should his parent seem to wish to know Ruth Grant better? s7 his stay here for another 24 hours?
 You must have a wonderfully happy disposition, my dear" Beatrice Lang was saying when her son with drew from his musings to listen to her. You say that you stay here all the year round and are never bored or lonely? Do you never go away anywhere?"
 ''I have been to New York with father twice" Ruth replied. And I was at boarding school for several years"
 "Where?"
 At Miss Prices, in Middletown."
 An? I never happen to have heard of 1t. But, then, I fancy there are a number of these small schools that one seldom hears of. Yet, even if they are small, some very sweet girls attend them. You yourself, for in- stance, my dear"

Thc Mother of Thomas B. MprCnulay

l The Mother of Thomas E. MpcCaulay 'The child of his mother" writes commentator of Thomas B. Mac 1 Caulay, famous English writer, whose life of Samuel Johnson has found fits way into most of the pub I lie high schools of America. Here again, the temperament of the mother, inherited by the son, devel- oped into great art. The mother was brilliant woman, highly imagina- unparalleled sense of honor. She had, too, find understanding, and a grasp of the artistic and beautiful things in life. Yet there was lacking that spark which would set alight all these qualities into blaze ot talent.
 The son inherited the mothers characteristics but not her disabili- ties. Partly through his natural gift but largely through his mothers eff forts, he was able to turn these gifts to account.
 Stories of MacCaulay's childhood are. delightful. He and his mother had the perfect relationship between mother and son. They were able to forget what they owed each other and simply be friends. The olcer MacCauley was stern humeriess man, so the bond between these two fun-loving, witty. gay people was forged all the stronger. They used to play thrilling games for the edifi- cation of the sisters, who adored their brother only as they did thelr mother
 This early happiness and encour- agement is considered by many to be one of the ruling factors in Mac Cauley's future briliiance.
