H o s fo rd Washington. — Congressional plans contemplate adjournment early in Oc tober. Speed In the senate alone la essen tial to carrying this plan Into effect. The house has almost completed Its work and conferees are making all possible haste to reach agreements on measures that have passed both houses. Indications are that the senate will co-operate, as It rushed through the trading with the enemy and the war bond bills last week in record time and has taken hold of the soldiers' and sailors’ Insurance bill, one of the two remaining big measures it has to pass, with an apparent determination to ex pedite consideration of It. Cloture may be resorted to if necessary. Aside from the Insurance measure and the $7,000,000,000 war deficiency bill, most of the big legislation of the session will be In conference this week. They Include the war tax, war bond and trading with the enemy bills. With unanimous passage by the sen ate of the Ill.BM.OOO.OOO bond bill, congress ended a $14,000.000,000 week Saturday. This Is a record for legis lative action Involving revenues. The senate opened the week by passing the $2,416,000,000 war revenue VU1; the house passed the $176,000,000 war in surance bill, and the senate put the bond bill through, making a total of $14.127.000.000.

The foreign minister has as yet been unable to explain the exact circum stances under which the practice of transmitting dispatches in code for Germany had come into belnfc, as it was an Inheritance from the adminis tration of his predecessor. He had or dered a rigid investigation within his department as to the origin of the sys- tem, he «aid. The famous academy of l’lato was In a suburb of Athens, about n mile north of (he DypUum gate. It is said to have belonged to the hero Academus; hence the name. It was surrounded with a wall and adorned with walks, groves and fountains. Plato possessed a small estate in the neighborhood and for some fifty years taught his "divine phi losophy" to young and old assembled in the academy to listen to his wise words. After Plato’s death in 348 B. C. the academy lost much of its fame, but the beauty remained for centuries aft er the great teacher was no more.— New York American. T he M argin of L eisure.
