EXTEND BENEFIT OF PAROLE TO
 FEDERAL LIFE PRISONERS
BY WALTER HENRY

Washington, March 21.-(Special. )-Mr Clayton, chairman of the committee on the judiciary, called up in the House to- day the bill extending the benefit of the federal parole law to prisoners under life sentence, and 1t was passed by the House. Under the bill, if the facts in the case of many life prisoners warrant it, the pris- oners may be paroled just as is done in most of the states of the union now. Un- less this bill is enacted into law, United States prisoners under life sentence can- not be paroled, however desirable it might be to do so. If the case is a meritorious one, no relief can be had without this bill except through the medium of the par doning power of the President.
 MT Clayton said that he thought that there were some cases where parole ought to be had but the full pardon ought not to be issued. There are 200 such federal life prisoners in the whole United States.
 Mir Clayton also called up the bill au thorizing the President to remove clerks of the United States courts from office in the case of misappropriation, withholding or embedding of the public funds. There are about 20 such cases where the clerks have not been removed. The President called attention to this in his message of December 21 last, and suggested that he ought to have the power of removal.
 The latter legislation was suggested by the President in a message transmitted to Congress, in which he said:
 "The report of the Attorney General shows that he has subjected to close ex- animation the account of the clerks of the federal courts; that he has found good many which disclosed Irregularities or dishonesty, but that he has had con- siderable difficulty in securing an effective prosecution or removal of the clerks thus derelict l am certainly not unduly preju-. diced against the federal courts, but the fact is that the long and confidential re- lations which grow out of the tenure for life on the part of the judge and the practical tenure for life on the part of the clerk are not calculated to secure the strictness of dealing by the judge with the clerk in respect to his fees and ac-

M'CREARY VETOES
 ANTI-TIPPING BILL

Frankfort. Ky, March Ex-Governor McCreary today vetoed the bill which pro hibted the giving or receiving of tips by servants, walters, porters, barbers and all others who profit by such gratuities. Tt does not seem to me- said the gov ernor ito be in accord with the intelli- gence and freedom of the present time to arrest men or women and fine them for the so-called offense of rewarding or giving to an obliging helper, polite at tendant or an obliging waiter

If a prize were offered today for the two busiest women in the city of Birming- ham the honors would easily be carried Walker Percy, the two lovely hostesyes for the forthcoming Charity Ball, which will take place at the Country club on Easter Monday, as it annually does.
 For weeks these two clever women have been at work formulating plans, arrang- ing details and sending out invitations for the ball, which has come to be regarded as the most elegent and distinctive affair in which Birmingham participates during the season,
 It means great deal when two women who are as popular socially as are Mrs Barrett and Mrs. Percy give up their time to an enterprise which, unless one hap pens to know the inside workings. appears to be merely a society event, but when thoroughly understood means the giving of energy, time, mind, heart, and one might almost say. soul. to the perfectlng of. and at the same time carry on, their usual duties as if nothing were happening within their separate regimes
 Gifted as are Mrs Barrett and Mrs. Percy with remarkable amount of ex- ecutive ability, beautiful taste and con summate tact, it was a happy selection when they were asked to act as hostesses for the Charity Ball, their acceptance giv- ing a prestige to the event which is far reaching in it's scope and an incentive foa' great activity among following Of friends and admirers whose name is legion
