This action, which will doubtless be followed by the club women of the rest of the state, was talten as the re suit of over crowded conditions at the federation’s school which are said tc be offering a serious handicap to its usefulness. Representatives of the Fifth District club, who recently spent a day at Tal lulah Falls, came back enthused by the work of the school and convinced of the Inadequacy of its equipment. A bigger, and better Tallulah Falls school has been largely the subpecl of discussion in club circles of late. The officers of the district in vot ing adherence to the enlarged pro gram were carrying out the instruc tions to that effect embodied in a strong set of resolutions passed at the full district meeting at the falls in May. The largest single item of the pro posed plan of extension is an admin istration building. This will supply all the school fa> cilities, with a library, an auditorium, a gymnasium and work shops, and leave the present school building free to be converted into an additional cot tage home. Miss Davis, principal of the Tallu lah school, who is en route to Chautau qua, where she will attend the bien nial as the guest of the Fifth District club, fjjpoke with great earnestness oi the need of the building program and much enthusiasm was aroused by the announcement that Miss Davis wished to contribute the first $500 to the $50,- 000 fund. Mrs. C. K. Ayer announced her own gift of a live scholarship at Tallulah and presented Miss Davis with some elaborate hanebwowen specimens ot South American work to be used aa samples in weaving.

Adoption of a motion to this effect caft* after an all day fight at the outset of which an effort to get the bonus before the senate failed. Sev eral senators gave formal notice'that they would continue to press for ac tion on the bonus ahead of tho tariff. A move to upset the program of the Republican majority calling for action first on the tariff was launched by Senator Walsh (Democrat) of Massa chusetts, who made a formal motion that the tariff bill be displaced by the bonus measure. Senator Watson (Re publican) of Indiana moved to lay this motion on the table, and his motion prevailed 51 to 22. Eight Democrats supported the Watson motion and two Republicans voted against it. The roll call follows; For the motion—Republicans: Borah, Bursum, Calder, Cameron, Capper, Cummins, Curtis, Dillingham, Du Pont, Edge, Ernst, Ferald, France, Frelinghuysen, Gooding, Harreld, Jones of Washington, Kellogg, Ladd, Len- root, Lodge, McCormick, McCumber, McKinley, McLean, McNary, Moses, Nelson, Newberry, Nicholson, Norbeck, Oddie, Phipps, Poindexter* Shortridge, Smoot, Spencer, Sterling, Sutherland, Townsend, Wadsworth, Watson of In diana and Willis—43.

Total against: 22. With the announcement of the re sult of this vote the bonus row began in earnest and waged for five hours. In the midst of it Senator Watson of Indiana offered a motion that the bo nus be made a special order of busi ness immediately after the final vote on the tariff, and thereafter it be held continuously before the senate unless two-thirds of the senate voted to dis place it. A point of order made by Senator Underwood of Alabama, Democratic leader and an opponents of the bonus, was sustained and the two-thirds vote provision was withdrawn. After a long discussion the motion was further modified so that a mo tion to proceed to the consideration of the bonus would be in order at any time. Some opponents of thejionus supported this motion, but eight of them cast their votes against it. They were Dial, King, Myers and Williams, Democrats, and Edge, Pepper and Wadsworth, Republicans. Several op ponents were absent. Charges flew thick and fast during the debate. They included assertions that the delay in acting on the bonus was for the purpose .of killing it; that those who made millions out of the war behind aa organized and exten sive propaganda to defeat the measure and that the Republican majority was planning to use the bonus as a club over the head3 of opponents of the tariff measure to shorten debate' on that bill.
