4 NEWS OF THE LEGISLATURE LONG SESSION BUT MUCH DONE Important Legislation Placed on Statute Books by Legislature Pennsylvania's Legislature, which adjourns today after having been in session with two Intermissions since January 7, is the third in the present decade to extend into the last week of June and is notable because it ratified two amendments to the constitution of the United States, enacted a new charter for Philadelphia and passed more bills " for changes in the State government than any General Assembly since the adoption of the present consti tution of the Commonwealth. It has also voted larger appropriations than ever known in the history of the State, the aggregate of tne grants being more than $100,000,000 and enacted laws necessary to put into effect improvement of the high ways system under $50,000,000 loan voted by the people of the State last November. Because of its bearing upon the State's metropolis, the charter and accompanying legislation occupied much time. The last bicameral system of legislative government in] Pennsylvania municipalities is abolished and in its place a single council of twenty-one elected by dis tricts. a new budget system created, drastic legislations made to take policemen and firemen out of politics, the city solicitor made an officer appointed by the mayor and a welfare department established. Changes in the registration commis sioners were also authorized. For the second class cities of Pittsburgh and Scranton bills were passed changing building regula tions, creating the office of deputy mayor and making other changes while for the more than thirty third class cities there were provided nu merous changes in details of gov ernment and a bill repealing the non-partisan feature sent to the j Governor.

But Hires j Instant Soluble Coffee is made at a low temperature: hence all the strength and aromatic flavor are re tained. Hires Instant Soluble Coffee is the dried pure juice of the most careful ly selected coffee beans of Java and Mocha blend. By adding hot water it Instantly dissolves, and you have cof fee as originally made, and if you prefer your coffee iced you can have it for "Hires Instant Soluble Coffee dissolves instantly in ice water. Think of the convenience of mak ing coffee by merely putting a part of a teaspoonful of coffee in a cup, and adding water! It means no bother, no coffee pot to scald, no grounds to empty, no throwing away of two or three cups that are generally left over. You don't throw away more cof fee than you drink! Serving Hires Instant Soluble Cof fee means having coffee whenever you want —at any hour of the day or night. And you make it strong or weak, according to your own indi vidual taste. A small can of Hire's Instant Soluble Coffee is equivalent to a pound of the best Mocha and Java coffee. The low price is due to the fact that with our exclusive process we extract 100 per cent, more juice from the bean than you can in making coffee in the old way. Get it at all stores. A SHAMPOO WORTH TRYING It is not necessary to shampoo your hair so frequently if it is en tirely and properly cleansed each time by the use of a really good shampoo. The easiest to use and quickest drying shampoo that we can recommend to our readers is one that brings out all the natural beauty of the hair and may be en joyed at very little expense, by dis solving a teaspoonful of canthrox, which can be obtained from any druggist, in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair instead of just to the top of the head. This, when rubbed into the scalp and onto every strand \>f hair, chemically dis solves all impurities. It is very soothing and cooling in its action, as well as beneficial to both scalp and hair. After rinsing out the lather so created, you will find the scalp is fresh, clean and free from dandruff, while the hair dries quickly and evenly, developing a bright luster and a soft flufflness that makes It seem very heavy. EYE GLASSES FOR YOUR VACATION It's a good idea to have an ex tra pair of eye glasses along on your vacation trip. In case you break or lose a pair, the pleasure of your trip is not spoiled by the mishap.

COMPENSATION GOES THROUGH Bill Has Some Adventures During the Final Business Day of Session The Senate bill amending the workmen's compensation code by In creasing the rate to 60 per cent., making a new basis of computation and various other changes to thei act of H916, was finally declared passed by the Legislature and started to the Governor's desk last night after having stirred up both branches of the Legislature. The measure was passed in virtually the same shape that It was Introduced Into the Senate at the request of Attorney General William L Schaf-i fer and in accordance with the de-' sires of Governor William C. Sproul the House receded from changes made in committee and restored the bill to its original form. This oc curred on Tuesday night and the bill was ordered sent to the Senate with information that the House had amended it. During the early afternoon House members discovered that there was a move on foot to ask for a confer ence committee on the part of the Senate and John R. K. Scott. Phila- Idelphia, made a speech criticising the sending of the bill to the Senate as amended, contending that it was in fact unamended. He declared the bill improperly before the Sen ate and in the course of remarks in controversy with Messrs. Hess, Lancaster, and Dithrich, Allegheny, was called to order by Speaker Spangler. A resolution recalling the bill from the Senate was presented, but at 3.30 laid over until 5. Meanwhile in the Senate a com mittee consisting of Senators Vare, Eyre and Graff compared the hill with the measure as it passed the Senate and found no changes. Labor leaders also held comparison ses sions with legislators and House officers consulted about it. ■ It was then discovered that the bill had been sent to the Senate for concur rence in amendments instead of with information that the House had passed it and much time was spent solving the problem of getting the bill back. ( Finally just before 6 o'clock the House passed the recalling resolu tion, the Senate concurred and the bill was returned to the House. In less than a minute after it was re ceived it was ordered sent back with the information that it had passed without amendment. That ended the travels of the bill.

It was wound up between 2 and 3 o'clock this morning, when both houees ad journed until the middle of this morning. The teachers' salary bill was practically the closing business. Both houses had very little to do during the night. There were a few conference reports, but the bulk of the time was spent in recessing. Several conference reports were cleaned up by 11 o'clock and soon after recesses were taken for sup per. The Senators had their sup per in the Senate caucus room and the members -of the House wore guests of Chief Clerk Thomas H. Garvin at a supper and dance at the Penn-Harris.

The bill then went to the House, which concurred, thus avoiding a confer ence committee. The teachers' salary bill and the Scott dirt road bill, designed to af ford horsepaths on improved State highways, were the final items and were adopted. The pages then held a mock session and in the midst of the excitement it was found that someone had taken Senator Crow's hat. A committee on hat was named forthwith, but searched high and low without success. A number of other Senators and Members also lost hats during the excitement of the night. The House adopted the Senate amendments to the Scott bill right after the teachers' salary bill and adjourned until 10.30 this morning. By that time the aisles were ankle deep in paper and the files had dis appeared from the desks. Only the clerks' desks had any semblance of order.
