OF flowers, bright colors and all that is beautiful, if

commonest phrase of conversation, and moreover
teaches them to rely on signs omens and tptearv
gods, both good and evil
IN this Romance" the quaint and spriphtlv stvlo
OF Japanese expressions is carried out as faitbfn
as possible.

CONGRESS IN
RECESS WITH
RECORD BLANK
Senate Fight on Interstate
Commerce G o m m ittee
Craftsmanship Unsettled
COMMITTEES
Some of Them Will Function
During Holidays, While
Some Are on Way Home

Washington, Dec. 20.-ConGress be-
gan n two weeks holiday recess to-
day with senate organization still in
complete and practically blank re-
cord Of legislative accomplishments
since it assembled on December 5.
With some of it's committees func-
tioning during the holidays the house
will be able to get down to the
serious business Of the session after
it reassembles on January 3. The
senate, however, will come back to
renew it's efforts on the deadlock of
the interstate committee unless ii
should prove possible for leaders to
effect some sort Of compromise in
the meantime.
With the senate having agreed
yesterday to defer further balloting
until after the recess only business
or a purely routine character faced
the two houses today. Many senators
and representatives already have de.
parted for their homes to spend
Christmas.
With the two ballots taken yester-
day the senate ran the consecutive
string to %, which sets precedent
for voting of this kind so far as
officials can find from their search
of the records.

ELEVATOR BURNS

Darlington. Dec. 4.-The Hammer
Harris elevator. here was completely
destroyed by fire together with g.
900 bushels Of grain. The loss is es-
timated at $4,000. The fire gained
such headway that most Of the ef-
forts of the fire fighters were turn
ed to saving adjoining property.
The Hammer-Harris company car
ried $4,000 insurance on the eleva-
tor and fixtures and blanket policy
covering whatever gfain was in the
house. The grain was largely being
stored for seed for next spring and
was valued above the regular mar
kct price. The home contained about
1900 bushels Of rye, 1000 Of oats
and the balance was wheat, much
of it Kota seed wheat.

BONUS GETS SETBACK

Soldiers bonus legislation re.
ceived setback yesterday with
the refusal of house ways anC
means committee to give it right
Of way over administrative pro.
visions of the treasury's tax bill
The committee declined, however
to side track it until decision is
reached as to what changes shOulC
be made in tax rates.
The bonus ,sos given another
Jolt by Secretary Mellon, who de.
claerd in a letter to Representa-
tive Andrew, Republican, Massa
chusetts, that if the compensation
measure vetoed by President Hard
ing were enacted the direct cost
would total SIS, ,526,444. ant
would average $225,0O0,000 for tht
first four years.
Mr.. Melons letter, in which HI
reiterated that passage Of bonu:
bill probably would prevent "any
reduction of federal taxes upon 9
comprehensive plan in this gener
ation," was in reply to an inquiry
from Mr.. Andrew as to whether
previous estimates of treasury ex
perts of the probable cost were ac
curate.
Andrew COntradicts Mellon
After receiving Mr.. Melons let
ter Mr.. Andrew who formerly was
assistant secretary Of the treas.
ury, declared in a statement that
"the secretary's estimates of tht
cost Of adjusted compensation are
greatly in excess of the previous
estimates of his own actuary
which were published by a sen.
ate committee year and hall
ago and which have not been ques.
toned heretofore"
''They remind me-" continued
Mr.. Andrew, "of the estimated
deficit of $65O,0OO,OOO which
motivated President Harding's
veto of the adjusted compensation
bill, and which proved after the
veto to be one million dollars ir
error, as the deficit was trans.
formed into an actual surplus OF
more than 100000, 1000.
According to the estimates OF
the actuary, the treasury official
who is charged with such calcula.
tions, the adjusted compensation
bill will not cost more than $751;
100000 yearly for the next three
years, or less than a quarter Of
the secretary's proposed reduc.
tion in taxes.
s'It will allow the whole propos.
ed reduction of 25 percent in the
tax on earned incomes, the whole
reduction in the normal income tax
the repeal of all admission taxes,
the repeal of all telegraph and
telephone taxes, and some re-
adjustment of surtax rates, al
though not all that the secretary
proposed"

WILL CELEBRATE HAPPY CONTRAST
CHRISTMAS
BY STEVE HANNAGAN
NEA Service Writer.

New York, Dec. 20.-Last Christ
mas, John Define was the lonesomes.
most miserable unfortunate in all
New York.
But this Yulctidc, he's one Of the
happiest men in town.
On Christmas Eve last year, he
carried the banner. While, trans
lated from the lingo of the "down-
and douters," means walking the
streets for want of flop"
On Christmas Day, he missed a
Turkey dinner solely because he
didn't have the lone nickel charitable
organizations were charging that the
hungry might retain their respect
ability.
Walked so Miles.
A champion boxer in the navy,
Define, now 26, breezed into town
with a nice little nest egg, bent on
becoming just as famous in the ring
as the fairy Prime of Fistiana, Viii
liam Harrison (Jack) Dempsey.
But his savings didn't last long in
New York. A few weeks and he was
ION his back"
An employment agency sent him
to construction camp miles ana
miles from here. After working thre e
days--just long enough to pay his
transportation and his board and
keep-he received discharge slip.
Penniless, he walked so miles to a
boat landing on the Hudson river.
There negro, the only man who
pitied him in his plight, paid his fare
back to New York.
Tramps B0wery.
He landed back the day before
Christmas amid the hustle and
hustle of Yuletide preparation.
His feet, protruding from the soles
of his shoes, beat painful dirge on
the cold sidewalks. A novice in the
role of down and outer" he was
cup against it" right.
All night long he walked his
Christmas vigil on the Bowery. Day
break found him still tramping in
and out the narrow streets.

is reported by General J. Domin-
guez over the railway from Santa
