ANOTHER MOVE
TO CUT DOWN

New York Republican Urges
Size of Lower House Be
Halyed-Wants Action

BY WARREN w. WHEATON,

CorrcHnOndenI.


Washington, April 8.-Another
attempt to cut the unwieldy size OF
the Lower House of Congress is be-
fore the national lawmakers.
Representative John Clarke, New
York Republican, believes that the
1875 members in the House should
be reduced to approximately one
half of that number, and in bill
he has now before the House he
would have the reapportionment eff
fective after March 8 next, when
the fourteenth census will have been
taken.
But, with the cut in membership,
representative Clarke would give
those remaining boost in salary
contingent, however, on frequent re-
spcnses to roll calls. Any member
or delegate who neglects to sign
up would be penalized 500 for
each days absence except that pres
entation OF . sworn affidavit from
a physician, that he or member
of his immediate family was i'll,
would void the penalty.
The Clarke bill fixes the compen-
sation of the Sneaker of the House
at $4,000, Il raise of $4,000 over
present salary schedules. Under its
terms membres and delegates would
receive $4,000 year compared

RAINBOW OF HAPPINESS FOUND

Simple Philosophy of Love

Washington, April 5-The end OF
the rainbow trail TO happiness is
found in your own home town, ac-
cording to Miss Alice NJ. Robertson
gray-haired Congresswoman, from
| Oklahoma.
1t is the simple philosophy OF
Miss Alice" that Happiness is
contentment," and "contentment can
only be found by making the best
Of what you have"
These were her observations when
her attention was called to the re
cent scandals in the movie world on
the Pacific coast involving young
girls who sought happiness and
fame on the silver screen, far from
the protecting influences Of home
life. To these -da2zled girls,
she says: Stay home and be con
tent"
The CongreSsWoman is satisfied
that the movie-producing world will
be much cleaner after the present
scandals have died away.
Usually Clears Atmosphere.
"a thunderstorm usually clears
the atmosphere and rid it of disease
and germs she said in her quaint,
mild way ''Thia disruption in the
movie world Will only clean it of
the worst characters. think it
win bring higher standard of mo-
rality among the people who have
become idols and teachers of prac-
tically the whole human race"
Miss Alice declared that girls who
sought happiness in the movie world
failed to find it,
Newspapers say these stars are
drug addicts," she observed You
don't take drugs when you're happy
They are used only when the soul is
depressed, and you seek some short
road to happiness. 1t is pitiful too,
for the awakening only dissolves ali
the beautiful dreams that come
from drugs and makes their sur
roundings more sordid and unhappy

Miss Alice is admittedly old-fash-
Toned. She said it was the duty

from campaigning actively for
Brookhart it is considered not un-
likely that he will pass the word
among his Iowa friends to turn
in for Brookhart
Kenyon has no intention of sit
ting mum on the bench and letting
the world race past him. Before
he left the Senate he made this
plan. He is likely to be heard from
often in the future, and a speech
or two by him in support of Brook
hart would not surprise his good
friend, but political rival, Senator
Cummins.
Kenyon May Take Stump
Kenyon is one of the four judges
constituting the Eighth Circuit who
sit at different times in as many
as thirteen States extending through
the Middle West from the Cana
dian to the Mexican border. and his
voice will probably be heard in
most of those States before the com
| ing Congressional campaign is over,
according to the friends he left be
hind him at Washington.
In seeking to dampen Brookhart's

Word reaching Washington would
seem to indicate that even the
political resourcefulness of Cummins
and Rawson combined is not likely
to keep Brookhart out of the Senate.
Their main purpose just now is to
prevent him from getting more than
80 per cent of the Iowa primary
