Eight Republicans, Instead of
Seven, viii Be on
Committee.
REPORTED LINEUP
TENTATIVE, HOWEVER
Definite Revision of Membership
Must Await Opening of Special
Session Next Month.

The ratio of membership on the
Senate District committee in the new
Congress probably will be changed from
seven Republicans and six Democrats to
eight Republicans and five Democrats,
it was learned at the Capitol today.
Three of the Democratic members of
the committee in the last Congress
Senators Bruce of Maryland. Edwards
of New Jersey and Nicely of West Vir-
gnia-left the Senate on March 4. II
the change in ratio is decided upon, it
Democratic vacancies would be filled
and one new member would be added
on the Republican side
Indications are that the size Of the
Republican and Democratic representa-
ton on other committees also will
undergo some change, as a result of
the fact that In the last election the
Democrats lost six Senate seats to the
Republicans.
This makes the lineup for the new
Senate stand at SIS Republicans and 80
Democrats, one Farmer Labor and one
vacancy. The vacancy is from Penn
sylvania, normally Republican seat.
The reported change. in the lineup
of the District committee is tentative
and will not be definitely settled until
near the opening Of the session next
month.
In the case of committees having a
membership of 10 the new ratio may
be IL to 8.
Senator McNary of Oregon, new
chairman of the Republican committee
on committees, is studying the problem
of committee assignments, but his COM
mittee has not completed its work.
This committee will assign the new Re
publican members to committee work.
Changes in the Democratic personnel
of Senate committees will await the re-
turn to Washington Of Minority Leader
Robinson of Arkansas.

Frau Won PrittwitZ nor did she care
for secretarial work, which so many
women were doing. One day she came
in to tell me she had found just what
she wanted. 1t was decorative tin work.
She would take sheets of tin, and with
a large pair of shears she would cut
out the prettiest little flowers, leaves
and conventional designs. These she
painted In lovely colorS and then SOL
dered them to wrought-iron lamps, can
delabra and lighting fixtures of all
sorts. Her work is very much like the
antique tin and iron work of France
and instantly met with great popularity
In Munich, where she first took orders.
Every bit of the designing, cutting
and coloring of the tin designs is done
by the countess herself. and the origi-
nal article is always finished by her to
serve as a sample to an assistant, she
has found it necessary to employ due
to the success Of her business. How
ever, he merely soldiers the decorative
work previously done by her to the va
rious fixtures, lanterns and other ar
ticles which may have been ordered"
Frau Won Prittwitz paused moment
and going to a nearby desk found a
card, on which were designs of odd,
quaint candelabra and lovely old Ian
tern. These are just a few of my
friends designs" she said. I'm addition
to the tin work, she has also made
drawings of her articles

7ARDY PUPILS Use
SAME OLD EXCUSES
Lack Of Originality Shown BY
H.S. Boys and Girls

You See. Miss McAuley. I was

time TO make it but a freight stopped

another Senior High school pupil
draws upon that time-worn excuse
for tardiness and Miss Mile G. Me-
Auley and every other teacher who
greets the boys and girls who ar
rive after the opening bell of school
listens to an excuse which was popu-
lar when the grandparents of the
pupils went to school,
Grandfather's clock, of which so
much is said and written, would
/ weep with shame if il knew what
its descendants are responsible
for. That is if the stories told

Every excuse imaginable ia called

cannot possibly &c, to class on time,
There are few pupils living north

used the railroad tieup as an ex.
cuse for being late. II is not known

ever 1t was certainly would feel
proud to See that it is one OF the
most frequently used OF them all.
late trolley, an overdue bus, a
broken down family automobile, a
punctured tire. are all used and re-
used and at times the pupils appear
TO be greatly shocked if the excuse
is not accepted.
Some let their imagination run
wild. A pupil found himself late
and when he approached Miss Fanny
Holmes who was then clerk Of the
academic building at the high
school. he said a man had a stroke
and he took him to a doctors Office.
While she was still In doubt AZ to
the truth Of the story she asked an
other Who was standing by why it
was he was late, to which he re.
piled:
Il helped him. Miss Holmes"
Every possible means has been
adopted to curb the practice. Some
schools make the tardy pupils come
Is. minutes eearly for week
Others require that the boy or girl
stay after school. Honor systems
were tried but satisfactory method
has not been found as yet, the school
authorities say.
Teachers and principals alike be-
lieVe that the parent is frequently
as much to blame as the child for
chronic lateness. An indolent
mother or a lie-abed father viii de.
lay the breakfast hour to such an
extent that the boy. eat-and-run a.
he may. cannot reach his classroom
before the bell rings.
One teacher said she had not
heard a new excuse In the Is years
she has been teaching in the New
Britain school system. Now ia the
opportunity for some young genius
to think Of one which future genera
tons will use for the next 100 years.
