Washington, D. C. — Money-raising legislation occupied the attention of congressiona! committees at each end of the capitol this week, with the senate finance committee holding hearings on the Fordney tariff bill, and the house ways and means com- mittee discussing the new tax bill. Although the tariff bill, passed by the house and designed to raise about | half a billion dollars in revenue an- nually, was going into its second stage, Interest was somewhat subord- inated to the tax measure which must produce more than seven times as much. The tariff bill, estimated by Chair- man Fordney to raise around $500,- 000,000 in revenue annually, was | passed by the house by a vote of 289 BRIDE SCOURGES HER MATE) Girls of Native Tribe of Portuguers | West Africa Enjoy Their Last | Hours of Freetiom. | The marriage market ig a recog-| Bized iustitution among the Konyama| people of southwestern Africa.

The marringe- | able girls duace before the whole tribe, | and the* men select their mates, but wait until the third stage before nam: | ing them, After the second stage, in which the dancing by the girls has | continued for two days and nights, | the prospective bride has a dried palin | leat tied around ber wrist by her pro- | spective husband. He then ‘hoists her | on bis shoulder, and carries her awsy \ about 20 yards. He puts her down, | and female attendants give her two | sticks with which to whip the man as | he runs away.

Seven republicans voted against the measure, while the same | number of democrats supported it. | Oll, hides, cotton and asphalt remain- ed on the free list. The Longworth dye embargo, backed by a republican majority on the ways dnd means com- mittee, was thrown out, 209 to 193. Aided by republicans not satisfied with all the bill's provisions, the dem- ocratic minority made the most of its | chances and the ways and meahs com- amendments laid before the house of amendments, goes to the senate in the usual way, to be referred to Chair tinkering. How long it will remain there nobody knows, Senator Penrose said, however, that would be held, but that they probably would be brief. It seemed to be pretty | well understood by house members | that when the bill comes back from the senate it will not be in the same form as passed. SENATE PASSES | | Washington, D. C.— The Sheppard bill, providing for co-operation be tween the federal government and | states in “protection of maternity and infancy,” was passed by the senate and sent to the house. The vote on passage after sharp clashes between advocates | and opponents. The former declared the legislation was a great humant tarian step, denying that it conteni | plated interference in the home; was 65 to 7 latter asserted that it was “socialistic, | paternalistic and bolshevistic.” | Three republicans, | and Warren of Wyoming, were joined | by foer democrats, Broussard of Louis- | {ana, King of Utah, Reed of Missouri ; and Watson of Georgia, in opposing | the bill's passage. The federal children’s bureau would | administer the act. The bill carries }an initial appropriation of $1,480,000 | which the states would be required to match. |HOUSE OF 460 PROPOSED | Census Committee Reapportions Mem- | bership for States.
