SENATE PASSES
SOLDIER BONDS
MEASURE BECOMES LAW DES ITE
^RESIDENT’S EFFORT TO S JS
TAIN VETO.
Washington.—The soldier’s bonus
bill finally has become law.
The measure, which has b en the
subject of a fight between C ongress
and two successive Preside1 .ts, was
repassed by the senate over President
Coolidge's veto by a vote of 59 to 26.
This was a margin of t co votes
more than the necessary wo-thirds
majority, as compared wi h the 52
votes there were to spare when the
veto was overridden in the house.
President Coolidge made i futile last
minute effort to have hi i veto sus
tained in the senate, ca'ling to the
White House for a breakfast confer
ence with seven republican senators.
Four of these who previously had
voted for the bill cast their ballots
In support of the executive. .
They were Colt, Rhode island;
Keyes, New Hampshire; McKinley,
Illinois; Phipps, Colorado and Ster
ling, South Dakota. All except Sena
tor Colt were at the White House con
ference. The others attening the con
ference were Cameron, Arizona; Har
reld, Oklahoma, and Dale, Vermont.
The last move of the administra
tion was to seek delay in the vote
until Saturday, Senator Reed, repub
lican, Pennsylvania, asking unanimous
consent to defer action #until that
time. The senate was in no mood for
delay, however, and as Senator As
hurst, democrat, Arizona, objected,
there were immediate cries of "vote,”
from both sides of the chamber.
Senator Curtis, of Kansas, assistant
republican leader, who had charge of
the bill, moved for a vote and was
joined by Senator Robinson, of Arkan
sas, the democratic leader, in sug
gesting that debate was unnecessary.
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,
and other administration leaders, join
ed with Senator Curtis in voting
against the President.
White House afficials in discussing
the senate fiction emphasized that
the Mellon tax reduction program was
predicted upon the assumption that
there would be no bonus legislation.
While they refused to say so directly,
they left the impression that Congress
having decided on a bonus, hope of
material tax* reduction must be aban
doned.
Secretary Mellon was not prepared
to discuss the effect of the bonus
upon the treasury’s financial program,
but he said that “sooner or later
there must be provision for payment
and it can be met only by new taxes.”
Must Probe War Records.
Washington.—Eractment of the war
veteran bonus bill into law has laid
upon the shoulders of the government
department an administrative task so
huge that the figures involved stagger
the imagination.
They must explore a ceritable moun
tain of w&r records. From that mass
of musty documents they must pick
out the individual war histories of
more than 6,893,000 men to provide
the data upon which alone bonus pay
ments of any kind can be made. .
Jhe daily service of every soldier,
sailor, or marine who served under
the flag in the great war at home or
abroad, is subject now to minute ex
amination. Through his days of sick
ness and health, of training at home
or battle abroad, the searchers must
follow each man through the wilder
ness of official records. And the bulk
of the task must be done in the close
packed filing cases of the war depart
ment where the intimate official story
of America at war alone is told.
In those records alone are more
than 167,000,000 separate documents,
each of which it may be necessary to
handle many times before the veter
ans can all be assured of bonus pay
ments. It will require 27 separate
checking operations to make the ex
animation fthe files.
Atlanta Painter Shoots Up House.
Atlanta.—Andrew S. Kline, 55, a
painter, shot and killed his wife in
their home here and then shot him
self To death after an unsuccessful
attempt to slay his mother-in-law.
Matrimonial difficulties between the
couple, which led to an estrangement
sdme time ago, were said to have caus
ed the affair.
Drown in Attempted Riscue.
Derby, Conn.—Harlan Franklin and
Hagin Douillon of Torrington, juiors
at Yale, were drowned when they
jumped into the Houatonic river in an
attempt to rescue two boys whose
canoe had overturned.
The boys managed to reach the
shore safely, but Franklin and Douil
lon sank before two other Yale mer.
paddling nearby could reach them.
Baptist Discuss Church and State.
Atlanta.—Declaring that anythin?
that savored of a union of church and
state is “spiritual adultery" Dr. George
W. Truett, pastor of the First Baptist
church, of Dallas, Texas, said that
the Baptist doctrinal belief in relig
ious liberty has caused such growth ol
the denomination in recent years that
it is non%the largest non-Catholic re.
ligious denomination in the world.
Dr. Truett’s address was made at an
inspirational mass meeting of dele
gates to the Southern Baptist conven
tion.
STYLES IN WEDDING GOWNS;
TUXEDO KNITTED OF PURE SILK
LJ APPY Is this year’s hride In the
choosing of her wedding gown!
The mode is in a tolerant mood and
there are almost no ‘‘Thou shalt not”
edicts from the throne of fashion, but
Instead the widest latitude is allowed
in the choice of styles. The bride
may choose h long, sheathlike uribelt
ed model, a draped affair, a period
gown or a straightline dress flaring
toward the hemline by means of
godets. She may select time-honored
satin or today's supple crepes or airy
lace and chiffons—in any case the
mode smiles approvingly. And in the
matter of the veil—she may wear a
lace veil, a tulle veil or both If she
chooses, for tulle veils posed over
white rosea continue to contribute
ttieir exquisite beauty to the bridal
bouquet.
How fickle is fashion 1 .Tnst because
novelty sweaters have been court
ing favor these past several sea
sons, we have apparently somewhat
ignored our tried and true friend, the
tuxedo. However, we have swung
around the circle, and true to our first
love we pay homage to the tuxedo
along with its present-day contem
poraries, the slipover and the juc
quette.
To a patrician clientele the tuxedo
knitted of pure silk ever appeals as an
aristocrat among sweaters. The smart

way of necklines except the very high
or the very low.
Brides and bridesmaids will do well
to choose pretty dresses of crepe and
lace in the seuson’s fashionable colors,
which will measure up to the standurd
set for dinner and evening wear. For
the maids, nile green, sunshine yellow,
peach, orchid and poudre blue suggest
themselves. Pretty and wearable hats
