HOBSON LAUDS THE
“PLAIN PRIVATE”
4 -
Washington, April 22.—Representative
Richmond Pearson Hobson of Alabama
told the House today that the average
age of the men off the Mexican coast
today is 21 years. Mr. Hobson was paying
a tribute to the valor of “the plain pri
vate.” He said that in the Spanish war,
when lie called for seven volunteers for
the sinking of the Merrimac in the mouth
of Suntiago harbor, 1000 young men re
sponded.
“The greatest difficulty I had.” he said,
“was in turning down appeals of thest*
boys who sought chances to go on perilous
missions in defense of their country. We
have taken a great responsibility here,
but confidence you have placed in the
plain private is not a misplaced confi
dence. It was my privilege to serve with
the plain private for 16 years and they
never shirked a duty.”
TO CORRECTABUSE OF
FRANKING PRIVILEGE
Washington, April 22.—Correction of
the abuse of the congressional frank
ing privilege was proposed in identical
hills introduced in the Senate and
House today by the chairman of the
committees on printing. The legisla
j tion proposes changes in the printing
* laws designed to save about $860,000
annually, and the restriction of the
Congressional Record to a transcript of
Speeches made in Congress only.

her rush home to get her corset off.
Undue pressure upon the stomach region is one
of the most common corset faults; also one of
