i ; -p i . X, The. Aa;- IJ. ' J i WASHINGTON, June 1. President1 Wilson's flock of sheep is doing nicely. He began three years ago with seven.! The next year the flock, by natural increases, in-creases, had grown to 21. This year 20 lambs have como into being, making mak-ing a total of -IS. First class in men-: tal arithmetic stand up! If soven sheep in three years becomes -18 oheep, what would happen to tho White House gTasa if it did not go into wool 3acks? And how much is wool worth with spring lambs at SO cents a pound? In the Birmingham, Alabama, district dis-trict a Democratic congressman hasi been re-elected. More important, he has been re-elected by a greatly increased in-creased majority. In these days increased in-creased Democratic majorities are rare, so it interests us to inquire who is this congressman and what kind of policies has he stood for? It was Georgo Huddloston. Ho is o'ne of tho few congressmen who had the courage cour-age to appear before the judiciary cominiUeo against the Davey bill, which was aimed at free speech. This' congressman has honestly opposed conscription, and has stood for the; right of labor to organize. There arej jother things of llko nature Huddloston ihas championed and the "Increased majority" is quite interesting In any effort to diagnose what tho voters are likely to do the next time they vote. The bare knee style among the young women of Washington has bo-como bo-como so popular that the department stores have been unable to keep 'stocked up with the below-the-knee hoso, and they have started a raid on tho gents' furnishing establishments, which increases the price of gents' hoso and adds another complication to the problem of the H. C. L. Oscar Underwood, senator from Alabama, Ala-bama, has had a close call to defeat. Ho has nosed under the wlro with 1600 votes to the good. In his last campaign he "beat his opponent, IUch-1 mond P. Hobson, by 39,000. Why is Oscar less popular?
