To Acquire Greatness.

The best guarantee to greatness Is
an intense interest In a great program.
Then 1t is that the fellow becomes so
full of the job that he hasn't time to
think about whether he's great or not.
He sees the thing to be done and be-
comes so full of how to do 1t that he
rises without knowing that he's becom-
ing great in the eyes of the world. So
the best thing is to be filled with your
jol' and work it until it gets the fruits.

COMMISSION MAY
PLAN If 5O-5OFA|LS
Proposal Is Made to Con-
ferees Should Present
Deadlock Continue.
sIssoN HEADS oPPosERs

A proposal for the creation of com
mission to devise a plan for appropri-
ating for the District of Columbia, if
any change in the existing half-and-
half plan is deemed advisable, was
tasde TO the House eonferees on the
District bill. by the Senate conferees
today, it is understood.
! The proposal was made in an effort
to break the deadlock which has arisen
ever the haf-and-half plan, the House
confereea insisting that the half-and-
half plan be abandoned in accordance
with the provisions of the bill as it
Passed the House, and the Senate con-
ferees, on the other hand, declining to
yield to this proposal.
Senators Stand Firm.
The Senate conferees are determined
that they will not yield to the House and
allow the half and half plan, which has
operated successfully in the National
Capital for forty years, to be overthrown
by means of rider" on an appropria-
tion bill.
It was said today that unless the
half -and- half plan the District bill will
die, and provision for the capital will
have to be made at an extra session of
the new Congress. This is the old fight
which has been waged for four or five
years, and which has always resulted in
the retention of the half a nd half plan.
Hold Hours Session Today.
The conferees were in session for an
hour this morning and parted with the
understanding that the House con-
for the establishment Of commits
sion to look into the whole subject
and draft legisla ton, if such was deem
ed necessary. to deal with the method OF
appropriating for the District. and
later would meet again with the
Senate conferees
The conferees were in session for
several hours yesterday afternoon,
and it was said that the haIf-and-
half plan was the only item discussed.
Representative Sisson of Mississippi,
chairman of the House conferees, is
understood to be the head and fore
front OF the opposition to the con-
tinuance Of the half and-half plan.
! If the conferees continue to insist
upon the House provision, the sena- :
tors say. the blame of killing the Dis
trict bill will rest squarely upon
them.
Among the most important Senate
amendments to the bill is that in
creasing the salaries of the public
school teachers. The senators propose
to make vigorous fight for that, too.
Once the half-and-half plan item has
been settled, the conferees believe
they will not have much difficulty
reaching an agreement on the other
provisions of the bill.
