WAffllHtiTON
Washington, July 15.—How far
will the House of Representatives go
in its revolt against the President?
That is, by all odds, the most wide
ly-discussed question in Washington
these days. The lower House of
Congress, having overwhelming voted
down one of the President's "must"
orders, the "death-sentence" clause
in the Utilities Holding Company
bill, is feeling its oats. It may take
the bit in the teeth and run wild.
The boys have been taking or
ders without open protest, though
with a good deal of gambling, for
the sake, mainly of party harmony
and their own chances of re
election. Now they are beginning
to wonder whether it is good poli
tics to keep ori as they have been
going. A lot of them, particularly
from the South, are getting word
from back home that the folks are
getting tired of having new pro
jects sprung on them, 'and wish
Washington would slowdown for
a while.
There was pretty general resent
ment in Congress of the President's
effort to have his new "share the
wealth" tax program rushed
through on five days' notice, and
that resentment was not materially
cooled by his concession that they
might take all Summer to consider
it. Congress may or may not work
out a new tax bill that will' meet
the President's views. Talk of ad
journing and letting committees
study the tax matter, for report and
action at the next session, is heard
on many sides. What is more
likely is that the boys will stay
here until Fall and maybe try to
put over some things which the
President does want. •
It is more than likely that, in
stead of a bill to tax only huge
incomes, enormous estates and
wealth corporations, such as
President Roosevelt asked for,
Congress may give him a general
revision of income and inheritance
tax laws, running all the way down
the scale. Also a few greenback,
silver and bonus bills for good
measure.
Lobby Investigation
Another thing that has got the
boys on Capitol Hill all stirred up
is the open charge that the Admin
istration sought to buy votes for
the "death-sentence" measure, by
promise of patronage and threats of
withholding work-relief funds. Rep
resentative Ralph Brewster (R.) of
Maine made the flat statement that
one of the "brain-trusters" who
drew up the Holding Company bill,
Thomas G. Corcoran of the R. F. C.
staff, had warned him that if he
voted "wrong" the funds for the
Passamaquoddy power project
would be held up. The result is a
Congressional investigation of lob
bying by both outsiders and insid
ers.
The President's latest bombshell
is his letter to Representative Sam
B. Hill, of Washington, urging Con
gress to disregard the Constitu
tion in considering the Guffey
Bituminous Coal Miners' Regulation
bill. Mr. Hill is chaiman of the sub
committee having the bill in charge.
Mr. Roosevelt wrote:
"I hope your committee will not
permit doubts as to constitutional
ity, however reasonable, to block
the suggested legislation."
The President explained in his
letter that the only way to find out
whether coal-mining was subject
to Federal regulation, was to try
to regulate it and so bring the
question to the Supreme Court. "A
decision by the Supreme Court
relative to this measure would be
helpful,'l he said, "as indicating,
with increasing clarity, the consti
tutional limits within which this
government must operate."
The Constitution Issue
Now the boys are asking each
other whether that would be good
politics—for them individually and
for the Democratic Party. The
Opposition would like nothing bet
ter than to fight on the battle
ground of the Constitution. Indeed,
it more nearly a certainty,
from week to week, that the ques
tion of Constitutional amendment
to permit the Federal Government
to do a lot of things this Adminis
tration has been trying to do, but
which the Constitution, as inter
preted by the Supreme Court, says
it has no power to do, will be a
major issue between the two parties
next year. .

Nobody else has the complete con

body else docs he recognize politi
cal advice as uncolored by personal
ambition.

THE WEARERS OF SPECTACLES
Do your glasses fit? It would
seem, in these days of superabun
dant service Tight, at our elbows, that
ill-fitting spectacles could seldom be
found. Personal experience, how
ever leads me to write this letter
on this very important subject.
For years I struggled with "bi
focal lenses. Every time I descended
stairs, or, walked up and down ter
raced steps outdoors, I groped
through the reading segment of
these lenses, and I can assure you,
it was quite a cross to bear . . .
Looking at the steps through seg
ments of glass that were made for
a 17-inch reading distance, con
verted for me a fitted lens into a
most ill-fitting one.
111-fitting spectacles have a most
marked effect on the gait and gen
eral comfort of wearers of glasses.
I have seeri a chronic dizziness and
even severe headaches set up by bad
-ly-corrected eyes. These were in
patients who had neglected to visit
the optician, and who had resorted
to all sorts of medical means for re
lief.
I have seen many headaches and
much other nagging distress relieved
by simple correction of the lenses
worn by the sufferer. I often send
the dizzy patient to the optician, in
stead of giving him a packet of liver
pills to possibly sicken him more.
If you are a wearer of glasses, try
to see that they are perfectly adap
ted to your eyes. It will repay you
in comfort to do so. The eye is,
perhaps, your most delicately-poised
fixture—do not neglect it. And, to
older patients—do not hurry into a
pair of "bi-focal" lenses; a pair for
distance and one for reading are
better.

the phrase "Pequini Nino" which
meant little child. It sounded to
Americans like "pickaninny" and
this mispronunciation of the Spanish
