SENATOR OWENS INSISTS Announces He Will Call Up Corrupt Practices Measure and Senate Dem- ocrats Are on Anxious Seat. Washington, Aug. 17.—Senate dem- ocrats were worried today lest their legislative program he disrupted anf ad¥ournment postponed indefinitely insistence of Senator Owen, dem- that his corrupt practices bill taken up this sesslon, and the sequent refusal of republicans to sent to an early vote on the ship- bill unless democrats promise manimously to postpone action on the Owen bill until the December ses- ston. The administration program did not include Senator Owen's measure and he announced he would call it up be- fore adjournment and demand a vote. The republicans are strongly opposed to action on it at this session. Ratification by the house of the conference report on the Phillppine bill was necessary today to complete the legislation. The bill, stripped of the Clarke amendment providing for indepen- dence of the islands within four years, as reported from conference, was adopted late yesterday by the senate by a vote of 37 to 22. As it goes to the house, however, the measure con- talns a promise of ultimate indepen- dence. by ocrat, PECULIAR SUIT BROUGHT.

CHEWING GUM KILLS LAZINESS. Factory Owners Install Vending Ma- chines for Their Employes. Chewing gum is one of the greatest things the to drive laziness. The mere act of chewing awakens a desire to be active. in world away Try it out for vourself in any one of a hundred wayvs and it it is not true. Select, for example, a card party which is dragging and where all the players have lapsed into & don't care sort of way of playing, Pass around a package of gum and see how the game will speed up. The mind of every plaver will immediate- ly be concentrated upon the game. The same results are shown in ath- letics. If a game of tennis is lag- ging and the players are lifeless hand out the chewing gum and at once the play is a hundred per cent bet- ter. Many gymnasium managers and athletic trainers have discovered that it is an excellent thing to keep gum handy to offer their pupils when they are inclined to slow down in their exercise.

It puts pep in the one who is exercising and keeps the throat moist and clear. There are also many lines of work where chewing gum assists the work- ers to concentrate and accomp more. This is thoroughly recognized now in hundreds of large factories, and gum chewing among employes is encouraged by employers. In New England and other parts of the country factory owners have gone so far as to install gum-vending ma- chines at the entrances and exits of their buildings and in wash rooms. They find that gum chewing not only checks idle conversation among em- ployes, but removes any desire to lag. For years it has been a common be- lief that gum chewing was a pastime for the idle, but as a matter of fact | gum has a higher mission in our daily life. It is a stimulant and help to the busy. This is plainly proven by observing one of the vending ma- chines in a large factory. The em- ployes will invariably pass the ma- chines by as they go out to dinner or as they leave at closing time.
