Adjournment Taken in Both
Branches li'ast Night After
Very Short Sessions
Both branches of the Legislature
adjourned last evening until 9 o'clock
on Monday night. The decision to
hold up the Sproul resolution caused
a change in plans and as the commit
tees had not yet gotten fairly started
the leaders decided to quit.
Neither branch was in session very
long yesterday. The House held very
brief meetings and the Senate was in
session a little time.
In the House the Daix resolution
which practically establishes h budget
was passed as it came from the Sen
ate. This resolution does not have to
go to the government, but if there is
anything that cannot be found out
about expenditures of the State gov
ernment under it the item must be
elusive. In effect it gives the House
the information on how every dollar
was spent and what every dollar is
wanted for in the next two years.
During the llnal meeting Speaker
Baldwin referred about thirty bills.
Mr. Siggins, Warren, introduced
bills to lix salaries of county commis
sioners in all counties of the State
and to pay county audttors $lO per
day employed. He also presented a
bill to appropriate $327,500 to Warren
State hospital.
Over 20 appropriation bills were
also presented.
Other bills submitted were:
Mr. Strauss, Berks—Authorizing
supervisors of second-class townships
to levy taxes on residents of districts
benefited for lighting of highway.
Mr. Gans. Philadelphia—Fixing sal
aries of clerks in State departments of
Philadelphia treasurer's office.
Mr. Hough, Allegheny—Appropriat
ing $437,833.44 to the western peni
tentiary.
The first bill to be reported from
committee was one relative to the
York county poor board's right to is
sue bonds. Mr. Whitaker, Chester, re
ported it.

Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair, Dark

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray. Years ago the only way
to get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some.
Nowadays we simply ask at any [
drug store for "Weyth's Sage and I
Sulphur Compound." You will get;
a large bottle of this old time recipe
improved by addition of other ingred
ients for about 50 cents. Everybody
uses this preparation now. because j
no one can possibly tell that you'
darkened your hair, as it does It so ]
naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and '

.WEDNESDAY EVENING,
BALDWIN TALKS
SESSION PLANS
Speaker Says That Distant
Members Will Have a Chance
to Get to Their Houies
Members of the House of Represen
tatives who have either gone or about
to go to their homes for the week-end
and with them are carrying two
thoughts imparted by Speaker Rich--
ard J. Baldwin, both of which are
likely to be adopted next wee* and are
considered forward steps in legislative
procedure. In one he asked the mem
bers to consider the advisability of en
forcing House Rule No. 39, which de
fines those who may walk upon the
floor of the House of Representatives
while it is in session and the other
has to do with sessions lasting five
days a week lor two weeks to be fol
lowed by a nine-dav recess.
The lobbyists will feel the force of
the rule which was one of the (hob
bies of Speaker George E. Alter in the
1913 session. It has long been on the
House list of "don'ts," but has seldom
been enforced. It definitely limits the
privilege of the floor of the House to
members, accredited newspaper cor
respondents, former members of the
House when first presented by a sit
ting member and heads of the various
State departments. It is from the
standpoint of the interference with the
business of the House and the incon
venience to the members that the
lobby- may be banished to the outer
walls and not so much from the al
leged harm, that lobbyists are sup
posed to do.
The recess proposition was men
tioned in the Telegraph a few days
ago. It has been a matter to which
the Speaker has been giving consid
erable attention.
In a few words late yesterday after
noon Speaker Baldwin outlined his
views on the recess question in this
way: 'iAt the present time we are
meeting one and one-half days a week.
That makes it impossible for the
members from the rural sections who
must travel a long distance to get
home for any number of days. The
expense feature is also important.
What I would ask the House to do is
to consider the proposition of meeting
four or five days a week for two weeks
in the early months of the session and
then recessing for nine days or until
the following Monday a week. This
will not delay legislation—on the con
trary it will expedite the bills'. When
we would leave Harrisburg for the
recess everything would be cleaned up
and we would be at home waiting for
the grist of bills to come from the
Senate. In addition, the far-traveling
country member could get home for a
considerable stay and would feel that
his incidental expense was well spent.
As it is the nearby members can get
home at any time, but the farmer
boys must stay over here indefinitely.
This could not be done in the later
weeks of the session but in the next
two months it might be found both an
efficient and convenient thing to do."
In his remarks on the question of
enforcing Rule 39 the Speaker asked
that the members be ready to decide
their attitude on it next when
they return, and if they are agreeable
to it he would be pleased to carry
out their thoughts. He said when
asked about the rule that it was not
aimed at lobbyists entirely and did
not want the term "lobbyist" to be
misunderstood because he said there
were many measures in which thou
sands in the State are interested that
are lobbied for by reputable persons.
What he does want to prevent is the
indiscriminate use of the aisles of the
House by persons and all lobbyists
while the House is in session.
i'lt Is disconcerting to the members
to have their constituents constantly
running to their seats to speak to
them about legislation and often times
matters that have no connection with
the Legislature." said he. There
should be seats reserved in the beauti
ful House gallery for the families of
members and other seats for their
friends. I would favor taking the
chairs out of the side aisles and give
the members some privacy where they
would be free from interruption. This
Is an important matter as it will save
time to the members and expenses to
the State."

SUNDAY FISHING
EAGERLY SOUGHT
Maurer Bill Outlines Some of
the Arguments in Favor of f
the Proposition
A new reason for permitting fish- j
ing on Sunday was given by James H. j
Maurer, the Reading Socialist and i
labor in a measure which he
introduced in the House. Fishing on
Sunday, as everyone knows, nowadays
reduces the high cost of living—pro
viding the fisherman catches any fish.
But*here's Maurer's reason:
"Whereas the day of rest commonly
called Sunday was made for man and
not man for Sunday; and
"Whereas innocent recreation on
the day of rest Injures none, but on
the contrary conduces to better phys
ical and moral well' being; and
"Whereas to man tired by six days
of labor the art of fishing affords an
opportunity of rest and relaxation and
an acquaintance with nature denied
during the days of toil; and
''Whereas the span of human life is
short enough without making it
shorter by absurd laws that accom
plish no material good, but simply
tend to arouse resentment in those not
limited by selfish creeds and beliefs:
"Therefore be it enacted by the
Senate and House of Representatives
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylva
nia, in General Assembly met, and it
Is hereby enacted by the authority of
the same. That it shall be lawful to
fish on the day commonly called Sun
day.''
