PROSPECTS NOT BRIGHT Word Uiii. lleen Heat Froui lU-puhli can Headquarters for llotii Hmiwn of ?onKrr<Mi to Work for Early Ad journment ? Want to (jet Out In the Field. I Washington, April 22. ? Word has bee n sent down the line from Repub lican t headquarters In both branches of Congress to work for an early ad journment. The recent political re verses which the party has encoun tered in Massachusetts and New York convinces the leaden* that there is more Important labor to be perform ed for the party outside of Washing ton than at the capitol, and hence an early adjournment is to take preced ence over every other consideration. Thjs was made evident further yester day1 when the Senate voted to meet at 11 o'cfock instead of noon today, and by the night session r?r the House, both unusual In the middle of a long session of Congress. The fact that Insurgents generally oppos'ed both propositions also leads to the belief that they are not dis posed to lend themselves to an early adjournment, but will Insist that Con gress remain here nntll the work of the'seaslon Is properly done. 8enator Klklns, of West Virginia, who Is In charge of the administra tion's railroad bill, now says that he wishes to get a .vote on It by the last of next week. May 15. however, is the date when conservative members believe the final vote will be reached. The Senate has yet to consider the naval appropriation, the postofltce ap propriation. the sundry civil and the deficiency bill. While after the rail road measure is settled the New Mex Ico-Arizona statehood bill will have the right of way. If there is any at tempt on the -part of the reaction aries to prevent this bill from becom ing a law afasthe present session, as there may ue because of the fear of the growing power of the West in 4he^?finate, there will be plenty of trouble and the session may he Inde finite -prolonged.

The Insurants of the house have it 1u their power to jirolom; th^ ver sion indefinitely by starting trouble I I for "I'ncle Joe." As soon as they take their pro posed step to oust him from the I speakership they will be in a position to hold congress here all summer if I they see fit. by refusing to combine with the r<:i,^Hnrs on any on?* to suc ceed him. 1 Altogether the prospects for an j (early adjournment are not as bright las the Republican- leaders would like j to have It. nrcxor xrKs co-eihcatiox. I In a recent lecture at the Harvard i Medical school Prof. C. M. Green de I flared that co-education was one of the wickedest features of modern I schools. "It is bad from the moral point of view," he said. "I have known eonip most pitiable results. from It. I Tiave also known a great number of cases of women breaking down from the strain of competition with men. it is true that women usually heat the men. but too much for them. 1 Just the % "Thg^Amerlcan home is almost a thiiiK^r the past.

For years the army picket, the sheep herder and the railroad track inspec tor have debated the question of which led the'lonllest existence, but their life is gay compared with that of the pipe line walker. The pipe lines carry natural gas to the cities, and they radiate in all di rections from the pas Centers. It is absolutely necessary that the pros pure be maintained. The greatest menace of the maintenance of proper pressure is the possibility of leaks In the plpfis. and' to see that there are | no breaks several hundred men are employed. Their business in to get up at daylight and walk from, one end of the section to the othe^'und back again during the day. The lines are divided into sections of 12 to 1F? miles, and a man is detailed to watch each line. The jobs pay from $.10 to $100 a month, and there is nothing to do f>ut walk and listen.
