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 iii 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. N T11E crash of a transport plane of ?

He sup 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.

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. T. W. Burgess.?WNU Serrlc*. "You'll Have to Come Out Some Time j and I'm Going to Stay Right Here , and Wait for You," Declared Billy ! Mink.

MOTHER'S * 1 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. ? WMit?rn Union.
