Senate Passes Patman Bonus Bill in Face of Presidential
yeto?Amelia Earhart Makes Another
Fine Record Flight.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
?, Western Newspaper Union. I
VC* A TTOH! I '
bonus bill would be easier for the
President to veto than the Vinson
measure, some of the administration
ecuaiuia juiueu ?> 1111
the Patraan followers
to put the former bill
through the senate by
a vote of 55 to 33.
Previously, for some
devious reason, the
senators put aside the
compromise measure
offered by Pat Harri
son's committee with
the assurance that Mr.
I? nncocplf trnnld
Rep. Patman s,gn ,L That the Pres.
ident would veto the Patman bill was
taken as a certainty and It was be
lieved the Inflationists could not gather
enough votes to override the veto In
the senate, though they had enough in
the house.
Rather surprisingly, Senator William
G. McAdo < of California, a former sec
retary of the treasury, advocated the
Patman bill, asserting that it was "a
mere conjecture" that the issue of
$2,200,000,000 In noninterest bearing
notes, or greenbacks, would be infla
tionary.
"We have nothing In the United
States today but greenbacks," he said.
"Is your money redeemable In gold?
Is It redeemable In silver? No. It Is
redeemable in nothing but the honor >
and good faith of the American people, i
"What constitutes inflation is a ,
matter of conjecture. It is also a
mere conjecture that we must have
a so-called specie basis. The best proof
of that is that, since going oft gold,
the dollar is as sound as it ever was.
"The Issuance of $2,000,000,000 in
new currency would affect the credit of j
the United States about as much as If
I threw a shovelful of sand into the I
ocean and tried to stop the incoming
tide." j
TWO billion dollars of the works *
relief fund were segregated for i
Immediate distribution by the works
allotment division at Its first session. <
The sum was divided into works t
classifications as provided by the works i
relief act, these Including road con- <
struction, grade crossing elimination, i
rural rehabilitation, rural electrifica
tion, low cost housing and general con- s
struction. Allotments for specific ?
projects were to be made later, a list (
of these contemplating expenditure of s
$100,000,000 being submitted by Mr. ?
Ickes as approved by the PWA and
referred to Frank Walker's division of t
applications and information. {
UM'.OM Mexico City to the Metropoli- I
" tan airport at Newark, N. J., non- r
stop, 2,100 miles in 14 hours and 22 a
minutes. That is the new record set c
up uy Amelia i^aruari
in her red monoplane.
Her husband, George
Palmer Putnam, and
more than 3,000 other
enthusiastic persons
were at the airport to
welcome her, and she
was almost mobbed by
the throng.
After her start from
Mexico City, Mrs. Put
nam It'dO n At hnni-il
AmC|ja Earhart
from nor reported seen t>
for more than six hours. Her course y
took her straight east at first, high over s
the mountain peaks between the Mex- ji
ican capital and Tampico. She was p
not seen at the oil port, nor was she p
reported by radio. Observers knew,
however, that she expected to be above 1
10,000 feet as she crossed the shore- J
line out over the gulf for her GOO mile a
hop over the water to New Orleans. ti
Passing over New Orleans, she com- p
municnted by radio with the Depart- d
nient of Commerce station there, and i
then flew swiftly along the airways of i<
American Air Lines and Eastern Air o
Lines. As she swooped over Hoover f
airport, Washington, Eugene Yldal, di- h
rector o* the air commerce bureau, ra- e
dioed: "You have done a splendid job, fi
so come down." But Amelia replied, p
with thanks for the invitation, that she tl
was going on through. And that is j J?
what she did. K

l OLD medals of the National Insti- L
tute of Social Science were award- ?'
ed to four American humanitarians at b<
the institute's annual dinner in New w
York, and no one will say they were
not deserved. a
One was given Senator Carter Glass P
of Virginia "in recognition of distin- ii
guished services rendered to humanity P
as one of the leaders in the planning U
and creation of the federal reserve el
banking system, as secretary of the ei
treasury, as united States senator, and
as one who, through a long life, con
sistently and unsparingly devoted his
abilities and energies to public service."
Dr. Harvey Cushing of Boston re
ceived a medal for his "distinguished
services rendered to humanity as a
leader in surgery and social medicine."
Dr. George E. Vincent was honored
for services "as professor of sociology,
as president of the University of Min
nesota, as president of the Rockefeller
foundation, as president of the Chau
tauqua institution, as one of the lead
ers in the development of community
chests in the United States, and as an
educator whose life and addresses have
been an inspiration toward unselfish
public service."
To Cornelius N. Bliss, former presi
dent of the institute, was presented a
medal for his work "as a director of
the Julliard School of Music, as a di
rector of the Metropolitan Opera as
sociation, Inc., as a member of the cen
tral committee of the American Red
Cross, as a governor of the New York
hospital, as a director of the Milbank
Memorial fund, as a trustee of the Met
ropolitan Museum of Art, and as a
member of the board of managers of
the Association for Improving the Con
dition of the Poor."
GEORGE N. PEEK, in his capacity
of advisor to the President on for
eign trade, has just made public sta
tistics that tend to show the United
Stntoc Ic lnein? {to rw?. I
jo to J'"
sition as the world's
chief creditor nation,
and makes reconnnen
dations that are in ac
cord with the growing
trend against interna
tionalism in *the ad
ministration and in
conflict with Secretary
Hull's program of re
moving barriers to in
ternational trade by
acuryc 11. r?n , , ,
reciprocal trade agree
uents.
Stating that whether or not this
yountry still owes less to other nations
:han they owe to it appears to depend
>n the true value of defaulted war
lebts, Mr. Peek recommends these im
riediate steps:
"1. The inauguration of a detailed
itudy of our direct investments"*abroad
tnd foreigners' direct investments in
he United States, to supplement the
itudies now in progress of capital
uovements.
**2. A review of all national policies
>ased in whole or in part upon our in
ernational creditor status."
The proposal seems to lead toward
ligk tariffs and a policy of allocating
>ur foreign trade among other nations,
is is done by many of the European
ountries.
FOLLOWING a lively debate the
P house passed the omnibus banking
>ill, which rewrites the federal reserve
ct so as to make a virtual central bank
ut of the reserve system, with power
o manipulate monetary policies for the
mrpose of promoting business stabil
ty. The final vote, after various
mendments had been rejected, was 271
o 110.
In the senate the measure will be
trongly combatted, with .Senator Car
er Glass leading the opposition. Glass
prote the banking bill during the Wil
on administration, and he objects to
laving the system tampered with by
'ederal Reserve Gov. Marriner S.
Iceles.

orted Mr. iiooseveit for President In
13'A but when be came up for re
lection last fall he was not given the
idorsement of the administration.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT strongly
resented the criticism of his New
Deal policies by the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States, and re
torted by calling to the White House
Secretary Roper's business planning
and advisory council for an endorse
ment of NRA extension and the social
securities program. Then to the news
paper correspondents Mr. Roosevelt
scored the action of the chamber, as
serting that in too many cases so-called
business organizations misrepresent
the business men for whom they claim
to speak, and that he did not believe
a single speech made at the chamber's
meeting contained any mention of the
human side of the picture. He de
clared the business organizations were
I not Indicative of the mass belief and
that he would go along with the great
bulk of the people.
Several members of the business ad
visory council were also members of
the Chamber of Commerce, and it is
said they resented the President's ac
tion In seemingly using them to offset
the attack by the chamber.
ALL the vast British empire cele
brated the silver Jubilee of King
George V and Queen Mary?the twen
ty-fifth anniversary of their accession
I ?w n nrl fni* throa mnn?ho
there will be a contin
uous series of fetes In
the United Kingdom
and all the dominions
and dependencies, Lon
don, of course, was the
scene of the chief cele
bration on the open
ing day, and the me
tropolis was thronged
with visitors. Hotels
and rooming houses
a were overcrowded and
George the kins ordered that
Hyde Park be kept open so some of
the overflow thousands could sleep
there.
There were seven state processions
the first day. The first was that of the
speaker of the house of commons, Capt.
Edward A. Fitz Roy, with five ancient
gilded coaches; the second, that of
Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald,
with six coaches In which rode the do
minion prime ministers. Then came a
two-coach * procession of Lord High
Chancellor Sankey, and one of the lord
mayor of London, Sir Stephen Killik.
The fifth procession was that of the
duke of York, from Buckingham pal
ace, two carriages with a captain's
escort of the magnificently appareled
royal horse guards.
The prince of Wales, as heir to the
throne, came sixth. He had with him
a captain's escort of the Life Guards
and two carriages, in the first of which
he rode with Queen Maud of Norway
and his brother, the duke of Glouces- :
ter, like bim, a bachelor.
Finally, in the most gorgeous parade
of all, came George and Mary, and as
their ornate coach, drawn by the fa
mous grays, passed, the voices of all
loyal Britishers rose in a roar of
"God bless the king and queen." The
rulers, accompanied by all the other
notables, went to St. Paul's cathedral
to give public thanks to God.
THE senate committee named to de
vise a means of curbing such at
tacks on the President as are fre
quently made by ILiey Long on the
noor ui me scuaie uas
not yet reported, but
it is said Senator Ben
nett Champ Clark o!
Missouri has figured
out how it can be
done. Clark is the
upper chamber's chief
expert on parllamen
tary procedure and
for four years be was
parliamentarian of the
lower house. Ills
plan la to rewrite rule '3""''or
19 of the senate rules * Clark
to include the President and so pro
tect him from unwarranted attacks
and slanders. That rule reads at
present:
"No senator In debate shall, direct
ly or Indirectly, by any form of words
impute to another senator or to other
senators any conduct or motive un
worthy or unbecoming a senator."
One of Long's favorite ways of
launching his diatribes Is to rise to a
question of personal privilege, and
Clark proposes that in this respect the
senate rules be changed to conform
with those of the house. In that body
when a member feels he has been ag
grieved he must explain exactly bow
he has been injured before he is per
mitted to speak. The shaker decides
whether or not his injury is Justified.
AFFIRMING a decision of the Su
preme court of the District of Co
lumbia. the United States Supreme
court held unconstitutional the railroad
retirement act, ruling that many of
Its provisions are Invalid. The act pro
vided for a system of old age pensions
for all railroad workers. The decision
was read by Justice Owen J. Roberts.
It condemned many provisions of the
law as "arbitrary." placing an undue
burden on the railroads and having no
relation to safety and efficiency In the
operation of the railways.
The act was passed by the Seventy
fourth congress Just before It closed,
and had the tacit approval of the new
administration.

Bedtime Story for Children
By THORNTON W. BURGESS
DANNY SHAKES MORE
THAN EVER
r\ANNY MEADOW MOUSE was
trapped. He was trapped, but not
caught, which sounds rather mixed and
; Isn't at all. You see he was trapped
because Billy Mink was waiting for
him Just outside the only doorway to
that hollow log in which he was hid
ing. But he wasn't caught because the
| doorway was too small for Billy Mink
j to get through and Billy couldn't reach
him, despite all his efforts.
"You'll have to come out some time
and I'm going to stay right here and
wait for you," declared Hilly Mink.
?'You may Just as well come out now
as to keep me waiting, because you are
going to be caught anyway and I am
going to catch you."
Danny didn't say a word, fie held
his tongue, which was the wisest thing
he could do. It usually is wise to hold
one's tongue. Hut I suspect that it
was fear more than wisdom which
caused Danny to hold his tongue. You
see, poor Danny was shaking all over
with fear. He knew that for the time
being he was safe, but he also felt
sure that if Hilly Mink kept his word
?and watched Just outside that doorway
he would either starve to death in
side that hollow log or furnish Billy
Mink a good meal.
Danny couldn't decide which end
would be the worst and the more he
thought it over the more he shivered
and shook. Either end was dreadful.
The fact is Danny Meadow Mouse was
so frightened thai he wasn't using his
usually lively wits at all. It never once
entered his head that if Billy Mink
waited long enough for him to starve,
Billy would himself be likely to starve,
and that is something Billy would be
the very last person in the Great
World to do. Billy is altogether too
active to be patient.
But Danny was too frightened to
think of this and so he crouched shiv
ering and shaking, as miserable a
Meadow Mouse as ever lived. "I ought
to have remembered Billy Mink's won
derful nose and that if he onee found
my trail he would follow me straight
here," thought Danny. **I ought to have
waded in the water after crossing the
Laughing Brook and so broken my
traiL I ought to have found a hiding I
place with more than one entrance. !
I ought?but what's the use of think- j
ing the things I ought to have done
and didn't do? There isn't any. There
isn't any at all."
That was quite true. When it Is too
late there seldom is any use in think- !
ing of what should or should not have
been done, But because there seemed
to him nothing else to think about,
Danny Meadow Mouse continued to |
think about his mistakes and to shiver |
and shake with fear. And outside
Billy Mink grinned and licked his lips
and tried to think of some way to
make D?nny Meadow Mouse come out
of that hollow log.

COOK BOOK
KITCHEN SHORT CUTS
TilEIIE arp so many culinary oper
ations needlessly repeated day after
day in nuini>erless homes, making
gravies, mixing pastry for pies, cheese
sticks and tarts, all at different time*,
when one process would make ail
three.
One of the dally tasks in most homes
at the dinner hour is the making of
gravies. The French word roux cov
ers the base or thickening of gravies
There is white roux and brown which
is simply white flour browned.
A hurriedly made sauce or gravy is
apt to be served undercooked. By pre
paring the roux beforehand and keep
ing a surplus on hand, time is saved.
For the white roux melt one-half
cup of shortening in a heavy frying
pan, add three-fourths of a cup of flour
and cook slowly, stirring constantly
until lr is thoroughly blended and well
cooked. Remove from the fire and
store In a cool place until needed.
For thickening soups, white sauce,
creamed chicken or vegetables, nse one
to two tablespoons of the roux to each
cup of liquid, according to the thick
ness desired.
To make brown roux, use the same ]
proportions of fat and Hour, hut stir !
and cook until thick, smooth and i
brown, using care not to scorch. This, J
too, may be stored and used as thick-1
ening for meat gravies, mushroom
sauce, stews and highly seasoned '
dishes.
A french dressing much liked and
one which will keep two weeks In the i
lee chest Is prepared as follows: Chop)
one small southern onion, two table-1
spoons each of red and green pepper,
one tablespoon each of celery and
parsley, a teaspoon of sugar and salt
and cayenne to taste, with the vine- j
gar and oil In proportion of one to
three or four. Add two tablespoons of I
the piquant french dressing to the
mayonnaise when serving. Hard- j
cooked eggs may be added, but should j
not be put Into the dressing until
ready to use.

By ANNE CAMPBELL
Vff V LOVE that burned with just a
single flame,
A chaste white taper lit for you
alone,
[n twenty years ha:. spread Itself to

A dozen conflagrations for Its own.
[t warms itself upon our children's

And sends op signal fires our friends

rhey come to us with glowing finger
tips.
Warmed 'neath the roof that shelters
yon and me.
Sometimes I think of those dear selfish
days
When you were all my world, my
own blue sky;
But now our children bless me with
your gaze;
A dozen lovely lamps are flaring
high. '4
But like the constant star above the
MIL
My love for you is burning orlghtly
