 Four-Hour Fight
By Associated Press


 Washington, May 19.--HOuse re- puPlicans. in party caucus tonight, came out squarely for enactment of soldier relief Legislation as ad- vocated by the American Legion.
 Before deciding In favor of the legislation, the republicans re-
 fused, Al to 49. to postpone in- definitely all action relief leg isIation. several republican lead CTS. including a majority of mem-
 bers of the steering committee,
 were said to have supported the
 motion. but there was no record
 vote.
 The only record vote of the caucus was the defeat, 95 to 1S, of a motion by Representative Wood of Indiana to strike out the provision to carry out the Lane -Mondell plan for settlement and reclamation of western lands.
 The action of the republicans was taken after a four-hour fight in which opponents of relief Legislation de clared the country could not stand added taxes. as made necessary by the bill. Secretary Houstons letter, op- posing any bonus. sent today to Chair man Fordney of the ways and means committee. was not presented to the m ting although copies were circu lated among members.
 The relief plan of the American Le- zion contemplated four provisions:
 A cash bonus. home and farm and paid up insurance and vocational edu. cation. Each veteran would be given the choice of any one of these
 The vote on the motion presented by Mir. Fordney for approval of the re. lief bill was 16 to 39. the supporters of the measure comprising less thar one-half of the total republican mem bership of the House. Leaders ex. plained that the vote did not bind re- publicans individually to vote for tho bonus
 It is expected to get the bill before the House this week.

Sydney, about the size of Cleveland or Detroit, is the largest city In the eastern hemisphere south of the equator and is destined soon to reach a population of 100000. It has magnificent -harbOr, ranking with the harbOrs of New York city, Rio JuncirO and HOngkOng, among the finest In the world. More than 200 miles of water front are available, much of which Is occupied by public parks and private residences, though ultimately available for commerce If required. The founders of the city wisely provided for an abundance of open space, now utilized in parks and public grounds, with a multitude of eX- cellrnt rOadways and beautiful trees. Flower beds are everywhere. De tachrl houses are the rule. As In other cities of Australasia, very large share of the population is locat- ed ln suburbs, with abundant room.

Etiquette Of the Revolving Door.


 The etiquette of the revolving doOG has yet to be standardized. At pres ent there are two schools of opinion on the subject. One holds that when a man and a woman approach a re vOlying door it is the mans place to go first, pushing the door slowly so as to allow his partner to follow in the next compartment without any ef- fort on her part. The other contends that ladies first still holds sway. It Is good manners, these theorists say, for the man to step aside, let the woman start the door revolving, and then jump into the compartment behind her. In this way, 1t is cOntended, the man may assume control of the door and guide 1t until the woman ahead of him Is safely out.

 Sutherland Is man of the coun try and for the country. You can not scare the men who know him by calling him Wlcldte.
