ACTION HELD UP
Congress Marking Time on
Presidents Suggestion in
High Living Cost Problem.

Federal licenss control OF the
great corporations engaged in the
basic industries Of the country, rec
commended by President Wilson in his
address to Congress on the high cost
Of living, is matter that will not be
settled by Congress In the near fu-
ture
This suggestion was referred to
the House Judiciary Committee.
Chairman Volstead has had confer
enees on the subject with officials
OF the Department Of Justice, but
nothing concrete has resulted. The
excuse is given that with the great
est expedition possible there could
be no legislation to cover this i'm
portant subject in time to meet the
present emergency raised by high
costs.
In fact, Congressional leaders gem
orally are not predisposed to a Fed
eFal license system for industry.
Many Of them are critical Of the
present day tendencies TO extend
Government control and regulation.
They claim q far healthier condition
win be created IL the Government
cease many Of its wartime activities
in connection with business and let
industry and commerce go back to
private direction. subject only to the
control Of the general laws now on
the statute books.
Vigorous protests have been
voiced recently by such House lead
ers as Representatives Mondeli, Good,
and Campbell against an appropria-
ton for various Government depart-
ments under which special agents
could be employed to investigate in
dustries whose products enter into
Interstate commerce. They contend
the people want no army Of Federal
Investigators .nosfnSi into private
industry and business. With many
congressmen the Federal Trade Com
mission Is unpopular because Of its
restricted activities along these
lines.

Sbrinq Cleaning Over At White House
And Mrs. Wilson Isn't Tired

Housecleaning over at the White
House!
Some jobs. ladies'. But Mrs. Wilson
mistress of the White House, isn't
even tiredi .
All the White House servants-and
a lot of extra "ladies-by-the-day
fixed up a plan to surprise Mrs. Will
son-and the president, incidentally
when they came home from Eu-
rope. So they cleaned the White
House from basement to roof, inside
and out, and when the mistress walk
ed in all she had to do was to sigh
contentedly-"Myi How nice every
thing looks"
IT'S been a hard life at the White
House these past weeks. The rugs
have been beaten, h stone work
honed, the walls scraped. and the
hardwood floors planed and polished.
Mrs. Wilson can walk in, sit down
and let her fancy lightly turn TO
thoughts of spring millinery-any-
thing but spring housekeeping.
Fortunate woman!
To most women, spring does not
mean the twit-twit of birds and
~greening verdure, ETC.. but the an
nual spring offensive with brooms and
mops.
1T was those 10000 to 10000 war
workers." said Thomas BrahaDy oil
the While House stan, VINO came
in here to see how President Wilson
and Mrs. Wilson really lived that tore
things up so. They must of come in
! here with hob-nails in their shoes for
the hardwood floors were so dug into
and SCARED that we had to have a
force in here to plane them lever
again"
It's a good thing Mrs. Wilson
doesn't have to use her own unaided
broom and mop in housekeeping inc
presidential residence. Here's what
she'd have to tackle-among other
little jobs.
The east room is 40 feet wild and
80 feet long, with a ceiling y feet
high, from which hang three huge
| crystal chandeliers. White and gold
holdings and panels ornament the
walls. The windows-16 feet high
have old-gold silk and velvet hanS
| ings. There is a SIS. 900 piano, and a
| lot of costly marble busts and Sevres
J vases to dust.
