DOMINICK GOOD SHOWING
FOR WAYS AND MEANS
Washington Correspondent Says New
berry Man Slated for Appoint
ment-Distinct Honor.

Congressman Fred H. Dominick is
being prominently mentioned for
membership on the ways and means
committee of congress, and news re-
ports from Washington indicate that
! The South Carolina member has an
excellent chance of appointment. If
the democrats are allowed to name
ten members of the committee, as in
| the past, there will be four vacancies
to be filled. Congressman Claude
Kitchin, democratic leader, has let it
be known, it is said, that no congress
nan who voted for the emergency
tariff measure Will be appointed. Of
those prominently mentioned for
membership on this committee, Con-
gressman Dominick, of South Caro-
lima, Garrett, of Tennessee, and Har-
rison, of Virginia, voted against the
tariff measure.
The Washington correspondent of
the News and Courier, in discussing
this matter in The Sunday News, has
The following to say:
Names which have been frequently
mentioned as possibilities in connec-
ton with the democratic vacancies on
the ways and means committee after
March 4, include those Of Congress-
men R. Walton Moore and Thomas
". Harrison of Virginia; Fred H.
Domonick of South Carolina; Finis j..
Garrett of Tennessee; Clarence F.
Lea, of California; and Carl Hayden
of Arizona. Representative Garrett
has been nominated for a federal
judgeship,s and if he should be con-
irmed, he would not, figure in the
ways and means problem. If he should
not be confirmed he would be hard to
defeat for the committee, and there
would be no fight on him by the
friends of Representative Dominick
in any event. 1t is understood that
the South Carolinian would refuse to
be considered if the choice should
narrow down between himself and
Garrett.
Of those named. Messrs. Moore,
steagall, Lea and Hayden voted for
the emergency tariff bill; Messrs.
Dominick and Garrett voted against
It; and Mr.. Harrison was paired with
a republican. If Garrett should be
confirmed as judge, the division
among the names remaining would be
exactly even on the tariff matter. I'm
less. the Kitch;n leadership is over
thrown, which does not look likely,
there would appear to be little chance
for both Congressman Moore and
Steagall, who voted for the emergen-
cy tariff, to be designated for ways
and means, and some democrats on
the committee who so voted might be
ousted. It would then look like Doml-
nick or Harrison, who voted against
! the bill, or both, with Westerner
added. If the ,Garner-Crlsp school
should show the greater strength IN
the caucus, the chances would favor
Moore or Steagall, or both and wes-
tern member also.

ming" said Daddy, "of the adventure:
of the boy and girl who were looking
for the House Of Secrets. You know
they were in search of adventures so IS
to find out how they could become
great, and they thought riches, too,
might help them!
"They found road at the end Of the
woods, but it seemed unendins as they
trudged along. They could see it wind
ing this way and that for miles ana
miles and miles, but they could see no
house of any sort at the end. For they
could see no end to the road.
Neither could they see any house
along the road which by any chance
might be the House Of Secrets.
az don't believe there is such a
thing said the boy.
"'Still,' said the girl, we must find
something or some one who will tell us
what we are to do if we are to have
our wishes granted. Some one will
have to tell us how we must start out
in order to command and lead and be
successful. And we must keep on go
ing If we. want adventures
"Look,' said the boy, I see tiny
cabin along the road. It can't be the
House Of Secrets, but perhaps some
one there will tell us if we're going the
right way

voices. and suddenly from one side Of
the cabin they could see head peering
out over the vines. And in another
moment they saw another head from
the other side.
"'Do you want to see me?' asked the
first head.
"'You'd better see me- said the Sec

boy.
