Miss Younger.

With Senator r. H. Caraway of

page boys of the United States Sen
ate were today feted at their annual
Christmas dinner and party in the
home of Miss Maud Younger, Con-
gressional chairman of the Ma

Capitol street.
It has been the time-honored Gus
tom for the Vice-President to act
as host to the Senate pages at a
party held between Christmas and
New Year Day, but inasmuch as
there is no Vice-President this wear.
Miss Younger has taken over the
task rather than see the boys dis.
appointed.
Dressed as Santa Claus, Senator
Caraway appeared at the dinner to-
day at an opportune moment and
distributed remembrances. Senator
Charles E. Curtis of Kansas dropped
in to give a word of greeting to
the pages. 1t was a novel expert.

speeches of the pages who spend so
much time listening to speeches

It is probable that during the
coming year the pages will carry
more cards to the officials from the
members of the Woman's PARTY
than from any other organization,
and for this reason decision was
made to entertain the boys.

He was a former vice president
of the Washington Advertising
Club and resigned about three years
ago from that organization as an
active officer because Of recurring
illnesses.

effort than he could devote to it in
advertising Washington, and for
this reason he refused the nomina.

ton.
He is survived by his wife Grace,
and one son, Dom V. Symthe, jr.,
a Cornell student, who was home

By international News Service.

AS~PPSAO oAAOAAA cav 11OAS
That was the announcement
today of the United States
Bureau of Fisheries after an
exhaustive study which deter
mined the iodine content of
marine and fresh water fish.
Lack of iodine in foods and
water has been recognized as
one of the causes of goiter and
other thyroid troubles, small
amounts of iodine in foods are
necessary to cause the thyroid
gland to function properly, it
was stated.
Oysters, clans, and Holsters
contain 200 times as much
iodine as beefsteak, the Bureau
of Fisheries found. All marine
fish are rich in iodine, but
fresh water fish lack this
property.
ocean fish should not be
omitted from the diet of young
girls, who are particularly sus-
ceptible to thyroid disorders"

cluded.

Secretary's Measure Will Be
ReWritten-SoIdier Aid to
Pass Over Veto, Is View.
BY GEORGE r.. HOLMES,
international News Service.

The Mellon tax bill, proposing a
horizontal reduction in taxes on In
comes and far-reaching changes and
simplification in the general admin
istration Of the tax law, will be SO
revamped and rewritten during itg
long and tortuous course through
the ,Sixty-eighth Congress that
neither Republicans or Democrats
were willing to hazard a prediction
today as to an approximate date
when Congress will finally pass
upon the reduction features.
About All Have Bills.
It is safe to say that nearly every
member Of Congress has his own
ideas of what should go into a. tax
reduction bill, and the various fea-
lures of the Mellon bill will be sub
jected to individual attack from Re.
publican members, as well as par.
tisan attack by the Democrats an q
whole.
The Democrats are planning to
introduce their own measure, adopt
ing some features of the Mellon bill.
but differing radically in other Tea
tures-particularly as regards sur
taxes, excess profits taxes, taxes ON
stock dividends, inheritance taxes:
etc.
Plans of Democrats.
The Democrats, too, according to
present plans, will go further than
has the Secretary of the Treasury
in reducing taxes on incomes be-
low $4,000. Work on this bill
already has been begun by Con.
gresham Garner Dem.) of Texas.
who will command the Democrats
In their campaign in both houses.
Republican leaders, worried and
harrassed by evidences OF Demo
cratic solidarity and by the factional
differences that can at any time
wipe out the narrow Republican
majority in either House, had agreed
today to split the Mellon bill into
two distinct parts-one dealing with
the reduction features of the bill.
and the other with the purely adj
ministrative features Of the meas
ure.
Leaders Are Hopeful.
There is not so much contro-
versy over the administrative end
OF the bill, and the Republicans
were hopeful today that this matter
could be quickly cleaned up after
Congress returns and gets going
again.
1t is the tentative plan to uass
the administrative bill as soon as
possible, and then take up the sol.
diers' bonus-on the theory that no
reduction estimates are possible
until the fate of the bonus is de-
termined.
If there is to be a bonus. taxes
can be reduced so much, but if
there is no bonus, then taxes can
be reduced so much more.
Hence the general agreement
among the leaders that the bonus
must first be disposed of before
tackling the complicated tables of
reduction.
Bonus Bill Certain.
That the bonus will ne passed
through both Senate and House in
jig time is conceded by everyone.
That it will be re-passed in the
House over President Coolidge's
veto is likewise considered certain.

SHIPS, FATE WITH CONGRESS

alton and 964 idle Some of that idleness may be
charged to surplus the theory that in the
state foreign there IS enough
cargo to I'LL them. But by far the larger number OF
those vessels tied up because of the failure of Con-
gress to provide legislation that will enable them TO
operate in competition with their foreign rivals
In years past Congress has put the statute books
restrictions covering the operation american vessels
that make st utterly impossible for them to compete
with ships of other nations where such restrictions
exist These limitations largely for the welfare or
the crew. and nobody wants to see them removed out
