FoEy-two important recommendations were made by

the senate rejected 81 and the house not one of the re-

chamber dying in the other Both houses also displayed
partisan eaton in overriding the president veto of the
Daylight Saving law and Prohibition Enforcement meas
ure and in ignoring the repeal of wartime prohibition
The only recommendation made by the president and
favoraby considered by congress, the Woman's Suf
