AMENDMENT ON
 SECURITIES KILLED
Tax-Free Bonds Are Still in Order
 House Decides

Washington. Feb. Q. - The house yesterday defeated a resolution pro- posing constitutional amendment to prohibit issuance of tax exempt securities.
 The vote, which came after two days of debate, was PAT to 133 or 70 less than the required two thirds.
 Republicans with F exceptions. voted for the resolution, as did C9 democrats. Before the final vote the house rejected. POS to 167. motion by Representative Steagall, democrat, Alabama, to recommit the measure for an amendment which would have deprived states of the right to tax bonds issued by the federal farm loan board.
 The only amendment adopted was by Representative Moore, democrat, Virginia. to require ratieation by states within seven years.
 Although the amendment was asked by President Coolidge and Sec retary Mellon, it was not taken into consideration in the tax lewiston Fro gram recommended by the treasury and its defeat will have no effect on the tax bill already reported ny the ways and means committee. Mir. Mel icIr had estimated there Va: approxi- ,Iately s11.o00, ,0O0, 900 outstanding in toA-exempt securities.
 The measure was attacked in de- bate by many republican leaders and supported by some democrats. Rep resentative Bacarach, of New Jersey, q member of the ways and means committee and Representative Begg. of Ohio, and Graham, Pennsylvania, were among the republicans who spoke against the amendment. Rep resentatiye Crisp, of Georgia. led the democratic support for the resolution.
 Representative Longworth, of Ohio, republican floor leader. charged in the debate, however, that opposition to the amendment was political, point ing out it had passed the house fast year by substantial majority.
 The vote today in the opinion of leaders, effectually kills the amend ment so far as this session is con- cerned.

BERLIN LIKES OPERA
German Capitol City Supports Four Theaters That Are Devoted To Grand Opera.

Berlin. Feb. 9.--Four theaters in Berlin are today devoted to the pro- duction of grand opera. the Kroll opera house having recently joined the ranks with the production of Die Meistersinger."
 Doubt is expressed in the press as 10 whether tho Prussian state can af- ford to support both the State opera house and the kroI opera house, which run in competition with the privately supported Charottenburg opera and Nolks opera. But the Kroll opera house gets all it's musicians from the state opera, with the ex- ception of 30, and great effort ap- parently is being made to spare ex- pense. Furthermore, the prices in the opera houses have now risen to world standards, but in spite of that fact all four Of the houses in Berlin attract large crowds.
 In addition 10 the two opera houses the state also supports two theaters in Berlin, the State theater and the Schiller theater. Both Of these the- aters coniine their repertoire chiefly to standard plays.

Lillian Laid Further Plans e.
 For the Journey


 I looked at Lillian with the admira- ton which I always feel when some plan of hers reveals her resourceful- ness and her fertile imagination. lated to depreciate it even by sug- gesticn, yet something had occurred to me which I knew I must voice.
 Tt strikes me as a most wonder f,ll plan," I said, answering her query, "but-do you think it's going to be safe to take them to the apart ment?"
 .Why not?" she countered. No body knows the address save our selves and the post office, and, we've spiked that down.
 But we haven't made sure that no telephone calls will be traced be- tween here and the apartment"
 She sat down in the nearest chair with ar exaggerated gesture of hCaviIess, and stared at me.
 By the left horn of the COW that jumped over the moon," she ejacu- lated, you've hit it. There must be a perforation in the back of my skull where the gray matter is disappear ing. There's the vulnerable place and the one I should have thought of first. There's no sure way of protecting it either. My salute to you, Madame You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din '"
 Al flushed as I protested vigorously.
 "Nonsense, I just thought of it myself this minute. It was the obvi- ous thing, therefore we both over looked it. But what's to be done, now?"
 The Flushing Retreat
 Exactly the same thing as be- fore, with one change. You'll stop short of New York, in--lets sec Flushing. l know a woman there who keeps a small boarding house, clean and comfortable, with only members of her own family for help. She can be depended on to keep her mouth shut, also, which is very neces- sary business just now. I'll give you a letter to her, and you can stay there until the ship sails, and drive into New York fer whatever shopping you need"
 But l won't be permitted to drive in New York" l objected. "I never have taken the examination for an operators license"
 'Nobody's expecting you to-" she retorted a bit acidly. Unless you were very well used to driving there, it would be the acme of folly for you to attempt it, and risk the chance of even a motor accident making you conspicuous. But this woman to whom you are going will find you discreet chauffeur. She has worked for mo before"
 "Oh :" l said, chagrined that l had not guessed before the connection of the woman with Lillian's secret ser- vice work.
 She's not active now" Lillian ex- plained, but she's loyal soul to me. and your charges will be per- fectly safe with her, even if you have to leave them for q few hours"
 That's all right then" said. When do you want me to start, before you do?" No" she responded promptly. '1
