Foreign Representative Carper ter & Company, U 3 Michigan Avenue, Chicago, A lot of people will probably wait until after February 7th to pay their income taxes on the theory that if the world comes to an end on the night of the 6th as predicted, it won't be necessary. • ’ An old fashioned rock pile was after ail the best remedy ever inaugurated for getting rid of tramps. In these days of road building there ought to be some way that these fellows who can't find a job or don't want to could easily earn their board and keep. If we are having such a wonderful wave of prosperity it is not shown in some of the tests. There are more tramps on the road than in ten years, the records show less profits, the only gain in the recorder's office is our mortgages and liens. Good times are still around the corner but ind; cations are that we will catch up with Dame Fortune this year and every thing will be lovely. Any way thats what we re all a hopin'. One hundred years on the sea is beyond reasonable doubt a record. Antonio Solitanu. said to liave been born in the Philippines in 1791 and now living in New Orleans, claims to have spent 10b of his 134 years us a cook on numerous ships. Not only has he survived, but he had retained enough of his youth to be anticipating marriage when a stroke overtook him. A medical student at John Hop kins is thought Io have the shortest name in the world, at least it can only be equalled, but not excelled in brevity. His name is I. It is pronounced “E.” Mr. is home is in Haughow. China. His name is not only composed of but one letter, but of the letter occupying the least space and using the least ink, and requiring the least energy in its making. Several mouths alter a roundup of 1 tile native children of the Philippines to oldige them to attend school, it i was discovered that one three-fool pupil was a 50-year-old chieftain of one of Hie islands. But he had be- ’ come so enamored of the educational advantages offered the natives under Hie rule of the. United Slates that be * refused to be discharged, and is a proud member of the second grade.

IMPORTANT BILLS ' TO COME UP SOON State Legislature To Face Much Work During Next Week By Raymond A. Bruner (U. P. Staff Correnpondent) indianapolia, Jan. 31. — With one-, third of the session finished the t seveuty-fourth general assembly will I begin another week Monday with many important measures up tor final passage in both houses. I Among the- most important measures on which preparations for passage have been completed are the "bone dry" and the co-optyative marketing bills in the bouse and the eugenic sterilization bill in the senate. The passage of the Harlan senate bill by authorizing the garnisheeinent of all incomes will come up as the special order of business in the senate Monday afternoon. Tlie bill is expected to meet eon siderable opposition. Tlie "bone dry" which was sponsored by Representative Wright, of Lynn, was scheduled to have been brought down in the house for passage Saturday, but in the anxiety of the legislators to wind up the week-end work and get home as soon as possible the measure was not brought up. The co-operative marketing bill which passed second reading in tlie house last week after several unsuccessful attempts to amend it is being prepared for third reading ami is expected dpwu sometime during the week. The bill is expected to meet considerable opposition but is expected to pass with a greater majority than a similar measure did two years ago. Immediately upon its passage in the house a committee report for its ?assage is expected to be made in the senate in order that it receive final action as rapidly as possible. The senate committee has given the bill its consideration and is prepared to make a recommendation. The eugenical sterilization bill introduced in the senate by Senator Holmes, of Gary, which would pro hibit the procreation of socially inadequate persons is ready for passage. It will carry several amendments added to it by the senate sitling as a committee of the whole last Thursday. The quesion of investigation of the affairs of the state highway comrnis■ion is expected to be brought up atain in the house. Representative Dehaven, of Indianapolis, has announced that he will introduce another resolution calling for more drastic and workable means in making the investigation.
