WASHINGTON. Srpt. ll.-Emcrsency
revenue legislation wilt liolil chief In
tereat In tho House this week, despite
the dolay in tho Introduction of the Ad
ministration bill to provido HOO.WO.OOO a
enr, which tho Treasury will lieeil bc
causo of the falling oft of customs duties
on account of tho European wnr. In
dications are now that tho bill may not
Jcach tho floor of the Houso until
Wednesday or Thursday, but tho wrang
ling over tho proposed ta on ficlKlit
shipments has reached such n stage that
a Democratic caucus Is planned v.irly thl
week when several Democrats will seels
to overthrow tho freight tax pnnlslon
of the bill.
The original program was that the
rftvcnuo bill, agreed upon by a majorltv
of tho Democrats of tho Vas and
Means Committee, would bo Intiodticcd
last Saturday and would bo formally re
ported by that committer" today. Con
sideration of tho bill under n special rule
was scheduled for tomonow. However, at
the eleventh hour on Saturday, Majority
leader Undorwood announced he would
not Introduce tho bill until It had ic
celvcd tho unqualified approval of the
President, the Inference bclns that Mr.
Underwood realized the seriousness of
tho revolt against the freight tax cIhusc
and intended to put lesponslbllltj
squarely up to Mr. WlNon
Accordingly, the bill Is held In abey
ance until the President gets back from
Cornish, X. H., tomorrow.
Sulllclont signatures have been ob
tained to call a Democratic caucus,
which Is scheduled for tonight or to
morrow night, unless tho President
brings pressure to bear to have It post
poned. It probably will require a letter
from him to put the freight tax through
tho caucus, although tlicro Is little or
no opposition to the proposed tax on
beer and wines.
When tho caucus Is convened Repre
sentatives Kitchen and Garner, Demo
cratic members of tho Ways and Means
Committee, who have consistently op
posed a freight tax, will offer a substi
tute bill proposing to tax beer, wines.
whisky, cigarettes. Inheritances and nu
tomoblles and to Increase the Income tax
-rate.
Tho entire revenue legislation Is "mix
ed" and presages a further dplay In the
final adjournment of Congress.
Senator Robinson, of Arkansas said
today that he would offer as a substitute
for tho House war tax bill a measure tax
ing all automobiles In the United States
from 50 .cents to $1: taxing coca cola 10
'cents per gallon; retaining House tax on
beer, and placing a considerable tu on
cigarettes.
Outside of consideration of the Im
portant revenue measure, the House will
conclude during the week Its debUe on
the bill authorizing the leasing of coal.
oil and phosphate lands on the public
domain. This measure probably will pass
without serious opposition. On Wednes
day the Barnhart printing bill Is to again
take tho right of way and a vote may be
reached on this measure designed to re
vise and codify the printing laws and
' 'ck waste at the goernment printing
.ice.
They would also limit the publication
of government documents to the actual J
needs of public officials, and seek to
-cheat the "Junk pile," to which thousands
of useless, uncalled for documents ara
consigned each year.
Routine bills on the private claims
calendars are scheduled to take up the
epare time of the House In fact, there
s no prospect of a legislative let-up at
any time this week.
CHILLY BREEZES BLOW
AND SCRAPPLE ARRIVES
Sausages and Hot Cakes Also Make
Debut With Prices s You Will.
The frost Is on the pumpkin sings the
poet, and his warblcn about the golden
rod, Ignoring tho rumor that It dissemi
nates an aroma or a pollen or some other
attribute tho bano of hay fever victims.
The poet, us far ns can be learned, has
never, at tho fall of the jear, sung the
praters of scrapple. He has never made a
rhyme suitable for a sausage. In n, round
about way he may hae touched upon the
buelnvhe.it cake and maple syrup. The
sjrup Is a clinging, sticky thing, and lends
ltelf well to the general atmosphere of
portly nnd poet.
Scrapple made Us debut In the to-nnd-15-ceiit
lcstnurnnta a week ng. it an
be had In the better kinds of restnuinnts
nil the year. Its consumption M generally
frowned ilpon In summer, but It Is kept on
hand for tli lsltors whn have heard of
Philadelphia sei apple and wish lo sample
the same as thev wish to take a huirlcd
trip through Independence Hall.
Sausage, hot rakes and steaming cof

during the summer months, Is again In

Restaurant keepers slate that tlie
scrapple and snuage from up the Stnto
Is exceptionally flno this winter. It
v.nles In price where one eats It. Some
reitaurnnts are charging SO or 40 cents
for a typical Philadelphia scrupple break
fast. In other restaurants, where the
police are generally near the doorway, a
brand of scrapple with a side dish of
potatoes, coffee gently llavored with
chicory but all you want to drink, only
costs 10 cents. The prices of sausage nl"o
varies according to Its Ingredients and
hew It Is served, but there aio plentiful
rops of them In tho maikct.
The pumokln and mince plo crop wilt
be fair. Ovsters are plentiful, nnd there
seems to be no reason why the war
should affect the prices of wheat cakes,
waffles or other of the delicacies which
arrive at about the same time as foot
ball players and the press ngents of
musical comedv companies.

Co-Operation
Wherever a common want can be
localised, the want can be met at a less
ened price.
To insure one man's life for $1000 would
cost $1000 to insure a hundred thousand
lives for $1000 each wouldn't cost $40
apiece, and there'd be a profit to the in
surer. To sell a few pianos "costs more than
they come to" to concentrate a big
business on one make at a time, lets us sell
pianos on as close margin as we sell dress
Roods and still the big business pays,
where the little business with high prices
eats itself up.
Suppose we sell four thousand pianos in
a year the demand coming just as it
happens we have to handle driblet lots
of each one make, and it's costly.
This club centers the attention of three
million people on pianos and players of
the Hardman make the "Harrington"
line. We are justified in buying and re
ceiving and handling in the big way that
lessens costs.
The saving is divided among those who
join the club that's the economy we offer.
And we can even afford to insure each
member's life as to this debt.
Usually three or four days
after you join the club we
can get your chosen instru
