Pre-Season Practice

Only a few weeks ago, before colleges opened, football players went back for pre-season practice, to get a "flying start." With much similitude, the Appropriations Committee of the House assembled in the Capitol, last week, in advance of the reopening of Congress. With Martin B. Madden of Illinois in the Chair, the Committee settled down to work on a number of appropriation bills. The supply bills for the Post Office and the Interior Departments were taken up. With appropriate foresight, the Committee hopes to have several appropriation measures ready for the House as soon as it assembles.
