TO HELP
WITH SPECIAL
HOUSE RULE

House leaders announced to-
day a plan of passing the LehE
bach retirement bill on Mon
day afternoon under suspeIi-
sion Of the rules.
Under this plan not more
than 40 minutes Of debate win
be followed by the passage Of
the measure, which then goes
to the Senate for consideration.
After series of delays and
threats of a legislative deadlock
which would endanger the entire
proposal, the Dale Civil Service
retirement bill, as amended by
the House Civil Service Com
mittee, today appeared to have
survived the storm of opposition
and will probably be considered
next week by the House.
This was the Interpretation
given to the latest move by Chair
man Lehlbach of the Civil Service
Committee, and Chairman Smell
of the House Rules Committee.
Await Special Rule
The Rules Committee is waiting
to receive requests for a special
rule giving the Dale measure .
privileged status. Meanwhile,
Lehlbach has announced on tha
House floor that he proposes to
expedite the bill and ask for
House action "just as soon as
possible"
AS a step toward this the
House acceded to the request Of
Representative Lehlbach that
members of his committee who
wish to file minority reports on
the Senate bill be required to
submit such reports not later
than noon Monday.
The vote in committee to re-
port out the Senate bill instead
Of the Lehlbach substitute was
said to have been 13 to and
the vote on another compromise
suggested was IL to s.
Speed Is Needed
This division in committee indi-
Gated that both majority and
minority reports would be filed.
The next thing will be to OBJ
tain special rule and bring the
Senate bill and amendments to
a vote, after which it viii be
sent to conference.

Junior High News
Oriental Costume Display

Friday afternoon the people in
the Junior High assembly were CIV
en- a chance to see certain costumes
which Miss Goodsell has brought
from foreign countries.
Nancy Wedge gave an explana-
ton of the costumes and introduce
ed the people who took part. Grace
Clark showed fifurines from an
Egyptian tomb, a beaded ornament
found on the breast of a mummy
in Egypt and figures which repre-
scented the gods found in the tombs.
Elsie Clark gave a description OF
the costumes worn by the women
of the Sudan region in Africa and
the Bedoin head-dress of the men.
Meryl Ethun wore the costumes.
Catherine Cliff described the
street-dress of the Egyptian wom-
en-. Mary Kennedy wore the cos
tune.
Alpha Henningsgard described
the distinctive dress of the Bethle-
hem women. The dresses are en-
broidered by hand and are very
beautiful. The pupils were especial
ly interested in the dowry which is
attacked to the cap the woman
wears. This is given as her dowry

way we play bear with blanket
thrown over u.s."
Lets take it home and ask
Uncle Hal about it," proposed Bur-
ton. "Put it in the box carefully
so it will not break"
The boys did no more collecting.
They talked only about the strange
stick that walked. That night they
showed it to Uncl Hal.
ooh, so you found a walking
stick, did you?" he said, when they
opened the box.
Then he told the boys how every
living thing, even the smallest, is
given some way of protecting itself
against others.
"The elephant has it's size, the
lion his strength and the cat has
claws. This tiny insect does not
have to fight. 1t wants only to hide
from birds and small animals. So
Nature has given it this very
strange form so that it can hide
even when it is in plain sight. You
see it stands with it's forelegs
stretched out straight in front and
it's brown, jeinted body looks so
much like a part of the oak twig
that you can scarcely tell that it
is not really a stick. 1t is common
ly called the walking stick" and
surely you were lucky to find it.
The boys thought so, too, and you
may be sure are still keeping their
eyes open for more of the strange
mimicking insects.
