Rural Housewives of World in Convention RURAL housewives from many coun tries began their third triennial conference In Washington with Mrs. Alfred Watt of Canada presiding. Their first meeting was held In 1930 In Vienna, and the second in Stockholm three years later. Secre taries Hull and Wal lace and Mrs. Frank lin D. Roosevelt, wife of the President, ex tended greetings to the visitors, but be yond that there were no set speeches and little formality. In stead, the farm wives Mrs. Alfred Watt tJt'iu excnange 01 espeneute b?j slons, viewed elaborate exhibits of rural needlework and crafts of organ ized countrywomen of the participat ing nations, and attended "open houses" held by all branches of the federal government In which coun trywomen are particularly Interested. In exchanging experiences the women learned, among other things, that: English groups have stimulated a remunerative revival of quilting to iupplement the family income. Australian countrywomen maintain seaside homes for convalescents. Canada's Federated Women's insti tute promotes clubs for rural youth and combats maternal and infant mortality. By conducting evening classes for young girls Danish countrywomen have helped to check their migration to town to seek factory work. The East Africa Women's league visits native women in prisons and hospitals and provides information to prospective white settlers. Huge Deficiency Bill , Passed by Senate 'T'HE senate by a vote of 62 to 14 passed the deficiency bill carrying <2,375.000,000, of which sum $1,425,000, 000 Is handed to the President tospend as he pleases for "relief and work relief." As passed by the house, the measure turned the entire amount of relief money over to WPA Administrator Harry Hopkins. Three Democratic senators voted against the bill ? Tydlngs of Maryland, Bulkley of Ohio and Byrd of Virginia. By a senate amendment, the bill authorizes the President to order a re study of reports on the $200,000,000 Florida ship canal and allocate an other $10,000,000 to carry on work upon it during the coming fiscal year. Efforts to do anything for the Pas samaquoddy tidal project in Maine had proved unavailing. New York's Wage Law Is Held Invalid NEW XORK state's law providing minimum wages for women and minors was declared unconstitutional by the United States Supreme court on the ground that it conflicts with the fourteenth amendment by violat ing freedom of contract. The decision, written by Justice Butler, was con curred In by Justices Tan Devanter, McReynolds, Sutherland and Roberts. Chief Justice Hughes and Justice* Stone, Brandels and Cardozo dissented. A number of other states have statutes similar to the one thus held invalid. Zioncheck Nabbed for Test of His Sanity Marion zioncheck, the peculiar representative from Seattle. Wash., outdid all bis .previous per formances In one day of wild deeds and landed In the Washington mu nicipal hospital where his sanity was to be tested. He had mMe two at tempts to see the President, saying be ? wsnlwl trtit for machine gnns and tanks to blow up a hotel where he sus pected bis bride was hiding; sought a warrant for the arrest of Vice Presi dent Garner on the belief that be new where Mrs. Zioncheck was concealed, and In various other ways persuaded the authorities that bis mental condition should be investigated. Civil War in A. F. of L. Expected Soon NINE of tbe richest onlcns In the American Federation of Labor, having more than a million members, probably will be suspended soon by tbe federation's executive council, and at tbe next convention they will be expelled If tbe council can coa mand the necessary two-thirds ma jority. Thus will com* to a crisis tbe Internecine contest between tbe craft anionlsts led by President WU Ham Green and tbe Industrial union ists wbo follow John L. Lewis, bead of tbe United Mine Workers. Tbe craft unionists, It was learned. Intend to suspend tbe charters of tbe nine Industrial unions at tbe Jul; executive council session, a power granted tbe council under tbe A. 7. of L. constitution. Lewis' group of unions Include* 400,000 miners, Sidney BUlman's Amalgamated Clothing Workers, David Dnbinsky's International La dles' Garment union, the oil work ers, typographers, flat glass workers, hat, cap, and millinery workers, mine, mill, and smelter workers, and textile workers. Liner Queen Mary Fails to Equal the Record BRITAIN'S magnificent new liner Queen Mary was given an uproari ous welcome at New York as she com pleted the first leg of her maiden trans atlantic passage. Tbe giant steamship behaved well In every way but fell short by 42 minutes of equaling the record set a year ago by the French liner Normandle. The Queen Mary's officers offered no apology for this, but it was public knowledge that ber speed had been cut down by a fog off the American coast The Queen Mary averaged 29.13 knots on a measured course of 3,158 nautical miles, between Cherbourg breakwater and Ambrose light, com pleting the journey between those two points In 4 days 12 hours 24 minutes. Business Men Oppose New Guffey Coal Bill BOTH the United States Chamber of Commerce and the National Asso ciation of Manufacturers U firmly op posed to the new Guffey-Tlnson coal control bill designed to replace the act declared Invalid by tbe United States Supreme court. Harper Sibley, president of tbe cham ber, and James A. Emery, general coun sel for tbe manufacturers' association, recalled. In almost Identical language, that the most widely discredited phase of tbe defunct NRA was price fixing through codes. Tbe new Guffey-Vln son bill, tbey said, like the old bill. Is designed to establish price fixing by levying a prohibitory tax on products of mines which do not submit to Its provisions. Pope, on His Birthday, Denounces Communism CATHOLICS the world over cele brated the seventy-ninth birth day of Pope Plus XI, and the pontiff himself marked the day by attend lng a solemn mass In St. Peter's In the presence of 40,000 pilgrims who went to Rome especially for the occasion. These were mainly members of the Catholic Ac tion organization which Plat XI found ed, and to them he spoke for nearly an hour. He denounced communism, aa he Pop* Plus XI Clara! the Catholic press was one of the best forces lo combating the com munists. It was evident to all observers tbe pope's age Is beginning to tell on blm and that he fonnd tbe long ceremonj very much of a strain. That tbe pope's health la causing some concern also In Vatican circles waa shown by tbe fact that tbe plans that were originally made for the pope to bless the crowd gsthered In St Peter's square from the outer bal cony of tbe Basilica were abandoned at tbe last minute. Japanese Find Excuse for Action in China HERE was every reason to believe that Japan bad found, or manuiac lured, excuses for further encroach ments in northern China, and that se rious conflict between tbe two nstlons would ensue unless China were sub missive. Tbe Japanese slleged that a bridge on the railway line between Tangkn and Tientsin waa destroyed and thst there was an attempt to wreck a troop train. The highest Jap anese officers In North China were summoned to a conference Id Tientsin. faklchlro Suma. Japanese consul general In Nanking, declared publicly that China must chooae either "mutual Interdependence with Japan or war with Japan," and be aald ha bad la formed Generalissimo Kai-shek, Chi nese dictator, of thia viewpoint, Garden Homes Planned by Housing Administrator STEWART McDONALD, federal housing administrator, outlined to newspaper men a new program which provides for the construction of "gar den homes" outside of large cities that will aid In the gradual move ment of Industrial workers from ur ban and suburban areas to small plots several miles out la the coun try. He said President Roosevelt was enthusiastic over the plan. Emphasizing that "this Is not any thing in the way of a benevolent proposition'' and that no grants of federal funds were Involved, Mr. Mc Donald said it would be accomplished through a broadening of FHA regu lations to permit government Insur ance of mortgages on such property. This will enable bankers and other leaders to advance funds for the de velopment of these "In between" areas for residential purposes, he said. "The President believes that when ever possible people ahould be on an acre to two acres of ground with trees, gardens and shrubbery," he said. "This plan has been made pos sible b.v Inventions and improvements In the last ten years. Now we have good roads, electricity, water facili ties, and other conveniences for those areas in between the city and the country. Such a program was not possible during the last building boom." Raymond Moley's Warning to the Administration Raymond moley, who used to be considered the chief of the "bralo trust," fears that his friend President Roosevelt may be destroyed politically by the radicals within tbe Democratic party wbo at tbe same time would "destroy moder ation and destroy tbe very system whlcb be attempted to Improve." In a speech before tbe National Economy league In New York, Doctor Moley said be saw confronting tbe Roosevelt administra tion these dangers: 1. That federal re Raymond ? Moley lief agencies will be turned Into politi cal machines to perpetnate the rule of state and local politicians. 2. The tendency, "all too prevalent In this congress, to engage In mack raking, marauding expeditions which destroy the liberty of all of the peo ple while they seek to restrain the abuses of a few. These orgies of pub lic castlgatlon . . . may be means of furthering Individual political ambi tions, tbey may be build-ups for those with Presidential hankerings, but so far as the public Interest Is concerned they are simply sound and fury." 3. The tendency "of those In charge of the New Deal to over-emphasize ad herence to the belief In the philosophy of the movement and to minimize the Importance of competent technical ad ministration." Germany Celebrates Her Revived Navy WITH three days of maneuvers, re views and ceremonies, Oermany celebrated the revival of her navy, and closed the big event by dedicating at Kiel the huge monument to the men and ships that went down In the Battle of Jutland, Relcbsfuehrer Hitler was aboard the dispatch boat GrIHe and from Its topmast flew the old flag of the kaisers.

Instantly he was alert and watchful. There was a rustling of leaves, and then out on an old log full In the moonlight crept a plump form, and sat down. One glance was enough for Billy. Without a sound he slipped up behind the plump form. "Booh !" said Billy, and when he laid that. Booby Coon almost fell into the Laughing Brook, he was so startled. You see.
