 The controversy between MT. Bryan and Leader Underwood. which devel- oped over the woolen schedule, the se- cret caucus and other party affairs at the special session of Congress last year, was recently renewed when MT.

 T feel like 2-year-old." declared Os- car Underwood as he appeared smiling on the floor of the House of Representa- tiyes today and was greeted warmly by his associates on both sides of the House. Republican Leader James Mann was one of the first to reach him and extend con grstulations on his quick recovery from the severe attack he had suffered.
 During the 15 minutes that the House was in session MT. Underwood was the center of crowd of admiring associates.
 MT. Underwood s office has been almost sv vamped with letters and telegrams, first of solicitude and then of congratulation, since he was taken III q few days ago These letters and telegrams have come from every state in. ahe union. and at test the wide popularity of the democratic leader.

 Some Interesting Facts

Indianapolis. January 3.-Detective Will liam J. Burns before leaving late today for Philadelphia, openly charged former Mayor Charles A. Bookwalter of this city with negligence in not having prosecuted John J. McNamara two years ago on evil dence in his possession indicating that of- ficials of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron orkers had caused dynamite explosions here.
 Burns declared that the former mayor dropped the investigation and not long afterwards was invited to become a mem- Der of a printing firm doing much work for national labor unions and In which already Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation, is reported to him to have been interested.
 Bookwalter, in an interview today de- nied that Gompers at any time had been concerned in the printing firm or that he knew him intimately, but said that part ners in the firm were Leo NJ. Rappaport. counsel for the international Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, and Hugo Thorsch, long time friend of Gonpers
 Bookwalter admitted that two years ago he had told a score of prominent na- tional labor leaders that he was convinced of the guilt of John J. McNamara and the Iron Workers union in connection with the four explosions on property of Albert Von Snrecllesen.

BEST TRICK NOT IN THE AIR
Remarkably Sound Advice for the
Woman Who Has Some Years
Of Life to Her Credit.

The way to ward off old age Is not
to fear 1t, not to allow ones self to
be oppressed by the dread of advan.
cling years. Use only legitimate pre-
veRtives and avoid trying experiments
with preparations not Endorsed by
physicians. Do not wear toilettes in
tended for young girls. they only add
years to the appearance. Keep up
your interest in the young, but do not
envy them. Retire with dignity from
the struggle, do not pose as your
daughters rival. Above all, surround
your life with sweet, true affections
which prevent the heart from growing
bitter. Do not lose interest in the
growing events Of the day; do not fall
behind the times and do not harp on
other and better days. To those who
come to you for advice be always kind
and sympathetic. AS you advance in
years preserve carefully your personal
appearance. for once lost it may not
be regained save by strenuous effort.
Your costumes should be simple and
unpretentious. yet graceful. These
rules, carefully and sensibly followed.
