Legislative News NEW CONSTITUTION BEFORE THE HOUSE Roney Bill Comes Out With Amendments Reducing Size of the Convention The Roney bill, providing for a con stitutional convention, the delegates to he elected this Fall, was reported affirmatively to the House at the night .session. The committee on judiciary general amended the bill to make the number of delegates to be elected 16 5, of which IB are to be appointed by the Governor and three to be elected in each senatorial district. The com pensation of the delegates is to be 1750. The bill Is No. 1 on the list of the present House and was presented on January 25. It has caused much discussion. The anthracite coal tax hill was re ported to the House by Mr. Elirhardt, Lackawanna, soon after the opening of the night session. It was amended by the House ways and means com mittee after a lively debate to provide that there should be an equal division of the tax between the commonwealth and the municipalities producing the' coal. The bill as presented as an administration measure provided for thd State to retain fiO per cent. The tax rate remains unchanged. The series of bills presented by Mr. Forster, Philadelphia, to provide for state supervision of recreation and empowering second and third class cities to name boards also came out of committee. Over forty bills were reported to the House, among them betng those providing four-year terms for county commissioners, for salaries for officials in small counties and for election of viewers in Allegheny county. Senate bills reported out included prohibiting use of coloring matter in macaroni, etc., empowering the Governor to close portions of counties to hunting, au thorizing county commissioners to make appropriations to hospitals, con tinuing the engineers commission, ex empting charitable bequests from col lateral inheritance taxes, regulating employes of the General Assembly, au thorizing first class .townships to tax dogs and providing for duties of city solicitors in first class cities in regard to improvement loans. Funmaking Clowns Galore With Big Circus Among the fifty clowns with the Barnum and Ralley Greatest Show on Earth are the representatives of ten different countries, besides America. The clown speaks a universal lan guage. In this respect he has an ad vantage over the stage comedian. Nn matter if he does not know a word of English, he ca make ah American boy or man, or woman laugh. He tells his stories with motions, antics and grotesque paraphernalia. It would be useless to bring a for eign stage comedian to this country If he could not speak English. He would have to return home on his trunk.. But a Persian clown who has not enough English at command to order a plate of ham and eggs can go out on the sawdust of a circus arena and make the biggest kind of a hit. "With the Barnum and Bailey circus are the greatest clowns in the world. Several have for many years been court comedians In the palace of the sultan or Turkey. These fellows are the children of Old King Jolly. They Invented sun shine and taught the children of men how to laugh. One of the things that has made the Barnum and Bailey circus famous is its clowns. The clowns of other circuses have looked to them for ideas and have copied them, but not with any success, for the imitator is like an Alaskan diamond that merely re minds one of the genuine article and disappoints rather than satisfies. When the big show comes to Har risburg on Thursday. May 6, the man who has no mirth in his make-up had better lock his door and climb under the bed.* If he gets within a rod of this nrmv of care-killers he will have to surrender. A stone man could not resist them. The performance has so many thrills it needs a great deal of comedy for ballast. The versatility of ttiMe madcaps is pronounced. Their work is carefully thought out and dovetailed into the performance in a most unexpected way. There are tall clowns and short ones. There are fat fellows who radiate humor and lean chaps that compel laughter. They seem to mistreat each other shame fully at times, but that Is merely part of their art. for they are good friends They get tangled up with tricky air ships, blow up In funny automobiles, fall out of "rubber-neck" wagons, and now and then are so unruly that the clown policeman has to take them off ip the blue wagon. Among their various specialties are an African hunting expedition, a voy age to the North Pole, a trip to the moon in a crazy aeroplane, a burlesque bull fight and a hilarious barn dance. —Advertisement.

COLD STORAGE iCT SUB INSTITUTES House Refuses to Pass the Re pealer After a Prolonged De bate Led by Wilson The Clark Senate bill to repeal Pennsylvania's cold storage act was lost in a flood of oratory in the House last night. It took over an hour for all the speeches to bo made and the act of 1918 was sharply attacked for Its alleged drastic features and on the ground that it gave unfair advantages to people living in other states. W. H. Wilson, Philadelphia, who led the fight on the repealer, declared It to be the most unfair bill of the session and charged that there had been trickery because the day the Senate "canned" the proposed uniform cold storage act the repealer started on its way. He called attention to the fact that the cold storage men had all said at hearings that they favored regulation and that now it was sought to abolish all safeguards. Mr. Reynolds. Philadelphia, urged the repeal, as did Mr. Hey burn, Dela ware, on the ground that it was un fair to the people of the state, while Mr. Steedle, Allegheny, declared it brought no benefit. Mr. McNichol, Philadelphia, a member of the cold storage commissioYi, said at no time was repeal asked of that body. Mr. Walter, Franklin, also opposed repeal. The House passed the bill author izing street railway companies to op erate lines of jitneys or motor cars in connection with their systems. The bill to require jitney lines to pay per centages of gross receipts to public treasuries and to give bonds for dam ages due to accidents was dropped from the calendar. Must Hear Both Sides The House passed the bill requiring magistrates upon preliminary hearing of all cases, except those involving heinous crimes, to hear the accused and persons in behalf of accused. The birt requiring registers and call records on telephones on limited service was recommitted. Bills passed finally: Establishing salaries in Department of Public instruction. Prohibiting Sunday fishing. Fixing pay of register assessors in boroughs and townships at $2.60 per day at primary elections. Requiring all state officials and at taches handling public money to give bonds, to be paid for by the State. The House refused to reconsider the hill to exempt agricultural companies from state tax. Three bills were defeated, as fol lows: Allowing hotels and cafes to dilute cream served to the public. Regulating costs in appeals to the Supreme and Superior Courts. Regulating poor districts compris ing a second class city. The bill placing a one-mil! tax on capital of manufacturing and laun dering companies was recommitted. The House passed the Vare reso lution for a constitutional amendment regulating recording of deeds. The Senate bill for "bird day" was negatively reported. The bill regulating deposit of county funds was reconsidered. The House adjourned at 10.55. $20,000 BEQUEATHED TO CHARITY Heail of Stc»n>iaier Brewing Company Leaves $500,000 EMatc Wilkes-Barre, Pa., April 28.—Twenty thousand dollars was bequeathed to charitable institutions In Luzerne and Lackawanna counties by Fred J, Stegr maier, late president of the Stegmaier Brewing Company, of this city, whose will was filed for probate here to-day.

For this rtason women who work too hard or dance too much and who do not get sufficient rest, sleep and fresh air, are the most frequent suf ferers from neuralgia and sciatica, which is neuralgia of the sciatic nerve.
