VOTE DELAYED UNTIL MONDAY tfashville, Tenn., Aug. 13.?Although it was considered probable that the Tennessee senate would vote today on ratification of the Federal Woman Suffrage Amendment, the ' V house was expected to delay action ' j;v until next week. < Party leaders had planned to bring i the joint suffrage resolution to a vote < today in both houses, but the house t committee to which the resolution had | been referred announced late last night that it would not report until Monday. -The senate committee, how- 1 ever, after a joint hearing on the rati fication pi posal, said a favorable report would be returned today, thus i clearing the way for immediate action | on the resolution in the senate. Suffrage advocates today were con- | fident of success. They reported additional accessions to their strength in both houses and said they would have seven votes to spare in the senate and 1 ten in the house. They were encour?aged by a prediction last night of | Governor Roberts, who called the special session of the legislature and has been active in the fight for rati- , fication, that the suffrage resolution would be adopted by both houses "un1 ? 4-l.i - iwi) Huiueimng miraculous occurred." Opponents of ratification, however, i continued today to predict defeat of the resolution. They declared their rankg were holding firm, and expressed confidence especially in the , outcome in the house, where, they declared a majority are hostile to fed- ( eral suffrage. If the suffrage, resolution is adopted by the senate, it will go to the house 1 to lay over one day before a vote can be taken. Suffragists said an effort 1 might be made to suspend the rules in the house, bringing the resolution up for immediate consideration. Reports were persistent that opponents of ratification would attempt a filibuster. Speakers of both houses, however, declared they would not permit unnecessary delay. SUFFRAGE QUESTION COMES UP TUESDAY t .. < Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 14.?Leaders 1 in the North Carolina legislature 1 were of the opinion today that neith- f er the senate nor the house would i vote before Tuesday on ratification of i the Federal Suffrage amendment. ( It was predicted that action would be taken first in the senate probably < Tuesday, and that if the ratification resolution introduced yesterday were 1 nHnntcH fkora if urnul/i 1? 1 r w *v tvvuau tucll UC t'uilsidered by the house where, it was -expected, a bitter, close battle would < occur. i Suffrage advocates, encouraged by | Governor Bickett's message urging , ratification and the favorable report ( by a sacrifice of the resolution, were confident today of success in the sen ? ate. Some of them were a bit dubious 1 about house. Sixty-three of the 120 members of the house signed the tele- 1 gram sent to the Tennessee legisla- ! ture urging it to defeat the suffrage . 1 resolution. ( Anti-suffragists said they felt certain all those who signed the telegram would vote against ratification, ' thus assuring defeat of the resolution. Suffrage opponents also claim-. 1 ed they would be able to break into I the suffrage strength in the senate, and predictions were made that the suffrage resolution never would reach the house. Ratification resolution were intro- i duced yesterday in both houses, Sena- i tor Scales, .Democrat, called on the { senate to ratify, while the house resolution was introduced by Represents tivP W i 11 i o rr\ c RonnKII... 1? J? .. icouci The house resolution was still in committee today, and leaders of the op- ' position said it probably would be left there. The house, they predicted, will await action in the senate, I and if it is favorable, will act on the i senate resolution instead of its own. Suffragists declared today that an : effort was being made to delay action here with a view of waiting to see what action is taken on suffrage by the Tennessee legislature.

( I / r SURE THAT ANIMALS DREAM Eminent Authorities HaVe Gone on Record, Though It Ha* Been Subject of Dispute. Aristotle's history of animals doblares that horses, oxen, sheep, goats, logs and all viviparous quadrupeds 1ream. Pliny, In his natural history specifies the same animals.'' Buffon describes the dreams of animals. Macnlsh calls attention to the fact that horses neigh and rear in their sleep* and affirms that cows and sheep, especially at the period of rearing their young, dream. Darwin, In the "Descent of Man," says that "dogs, cuts, horses and probably all the higher animals, even birds, as is stated on good authority, have vivid dreams, and this is shown by their movements and voice." George John Romanes, in his "Mental Evolution In Animals," says that (lie fact that dogB dream is proverbial, and quotes Seneca and Lucretius, and furnishes proof from Dr. Lauder Lindsay, an eminent authority, that horses dream. Bechsteln holds that the bullfinch dreams, and gives a case where the dream took on the character of a nightmare, and the bird fell from Its perch, and four great authorities say that dreumlng becomes so vivid as to lead to soinnaufoullsm. Guer gives a case of somnambulistic watch dog which prowled In search of Imaginary strangers or fowls, and exhibited toward them a whole serlesf pantomimic actions, including barking. Dryden says: ITlie little birds In dreams the songs repeat." N SHREWD IDEA IN POLITICS Picture* of Presidential Candidates! on Letter Heada Was a Popular Thing In 1840. Back In the early days of the republic It was considered a fine Idea to decorate paper with the portraits of presidential candidates. In this way the letter writer showed not only his preference, but tried to Influence his correspondents for his candidate, remarks the New York Sun. A fine example of this sort of political propaganda was unearthed recently In New Fork. It dates back to 1840, when William Henry Harrison was running for president on the Whig ticket against Martin Van Buren, Democrat. The letterhead shows the two sldesv of the gold medal awarded by congress to General Harrison for his services In the War of 1812. The picture to the left shows a medallion portrait of General Harrison, while the one at the right depicts the Goddess of Liberty, armed with a spear, placing a wreath of laurel on an ^Indian tepee. This latter was Intended as a compliment to the general for his success In fighting against the British and Indians. , Under the pictures of the two sides of the medal is a copy of the resolution of congress conferring the medals ea General Harrison and Isaac Shelby, "late governor of Kentucky." Improvised Gun Hat Kick. The Burma government forbids the natives to. have guns In their possession, and prohibits trading In arrows and ammunition. But the native's ingenuity enables him to get around this.

He cuts off the heads of about two vi uuaiA^iica auu puis mem lnio the improvised barrel. He then rams his shot home and is ready for business.
