None But the Brave

He looked down at her compelling
ly, but she seemed totally unaware
of his presence.
He realized she was preoccupied,
but he refused to excuse her on that
score.
He started to speak and then hesi-
tated. 1t was delicate matter.
Yet there was need for holiness. He
approached her.
His words cut the silence like a
sword: Madame, you did not pay
your fare"

Mr. Kimmel in his lecture stressed
the fact that classic music is replete
with beautiful melodies and that So

is based on melodies lifted from the
classics. He demonstrated, with the
aid of Miss HenHeman, how these
melodies were used with slight
changes. sometimes in the beat only,
and became best sellers"
AS example. he chose I'm Always

Have No Bananas" and traced the
source of these songs to works of
Chopin. La Tosca." THE Messiah

TREASURY P. 0. BILL
PASSEDBy HOUSE
SIPS, 900, GOO Grant Largest
Ever in Peacetime-Air
Mail Fund Is Cut.

The Treasury-Post Office appropria-
ton bill, which carries the reclassi-
fed salaries for the employees of these
two departments in Washington, the
second of the big annual appropria-
ton measures, was passed by the
House late yesterday.
This was the largest peace-time APP
preparation bill ever before Congress
and carried approximately $T25, 000,-
900. 1t now goes to the Senate, prac-
tically as drafted by the House ap
propriaticns committee under the
leadership of Representative Martin
3. Madden. Only u few important
amendments We're made by the House.
Rural Delivery Increase.
One amendment, adopted at the last
minute, increased the amount for
maintenance of rural delivery Serv-
ice during the coming fiscal year from
SSS,250,0O0 to sS9,25O.00o.
Previously the House had increased
the SS7,000.000 for pay of city letter
carriers by 100000. and had raised
the amount for transmission of mail
by pneumatic tubes in New York city
approximately $4,000 or to a total of
$526.372.
The chief change in the bill was the
elimination of a section allotting
Si.50O.000 for maintenance of the New
York San Francisco airplane mail
service. This provision was thrown
out on a point of order by Repre-
sentative Cramton, republican. Mich
igan, who contended the service was
unauthorized by law. and the House
was without power to grant it funds
in an appropriation bill.
Effort for Increase.
The point raised by Mr.. Cramton
cut short an effort. led by Represent
atives La Guardia, republican, New
York, and Clancy, democrat. Michigan.
to increase the appropriation for air.
plane mail to 100000. During de-
bate Mr.. Clancy charged that the
railroads were seeking to have the
appropriations knocked out altogether.
OF the total carried in the bill,
S610,0O0,000 is for the Post Office De-
partment and S11S,000,000 for the
Treasury. Included in the Treasury
allotment is s1O.629,770 for prohibit
ton enforcement, $10,652, 900 for the
coast guard and $13,874,0 900 for the
customs service.
Disposal of the bill cleared the way
for House consideration of the tax
bill, which will be. taken up Thursday.
