To Seek Early Vote !
On Futures Measure

WASHINGTON, April g.
Southern members Of the house ia
voring passage Of an amendment
to the cotton futures act plan to
bring the measure to a vote at an
early date. Isl.
The amendment, provides for the
discontinuance of cotton acreage re-
ports by the department Of agricul-
ture based upon intention-to-plant
figures, and to have issued between
July 1 and December l, semi-month-
ly reports as to the condition, prog
ress and probable production of cot
ton. This would release simultan.

ment has passed the senate and is
now on the unanimous consent cal
endar of the house. 1t came up in
the house a few days ago, but went
over under objection. On the next
unanimous consent day the amend
ment will be brought up again, and
its supporters expect prompt &C

In the meantime, Representative
Rankin, Democrat, Mississippi, and
his associates who are sponsoring
the amendment, are making an ef-'

Familiar With Much of the

He Promises Investigators
Valuable Information
BY LAWRENCE MARTIN

WASHINGTON, April To-
Frank A. Vanderlip has opened here
a laundry with which he is going
to help ''dry clean the government"
Some of my friends have suggest
ed that / have gone crazy" Wander
lip said when he was asked to dis
pei a certain air of mystery with
which his operations since coming to
Washington recently have been
cloaked well, I'll tell you what
I'm doing and you can judge wheth'
err I'm crazy or not,
First, Vanderlip insisted, any ac-
count of his activities here must
make it plain that he is, for the time
being, under the direction Of Senator
Wheeler, the aggressive 'prosecu'
tor of the committee investigating
Attorney General Daugherty.
wheeler and I are working in
close cooperation, Vanderlip said.
understand, the credit belongs to
Wheeler for what is being done. l
am trying to help him"
Research Bureau Opened
Vanderlip leaned back in his chair
in the new office Of the Citizens
Federal Research bureau, which he
has just opened here.
II invenetd this research bureau"
said Vanderlip, ito get to the Amer
lean people the facts about condl-
tons in the government
my idea was to get the facts to-
eether and send them to 1000 news
papers. Out of the 1000, somebody
somewhere along the line, would be
sure to crack the story and then
the rest of them would have to fol
low it.
But the Wheeler investigation
gave me another channel and l am
therefore, giving everything to Sen
ator Wheeler.
1.-THE bureau here is being incor'
porated as a permanent agency.
When [ started it L planned to have
twenty-five of the most distinguish.

me. But 1 abandoned that idea, for
you can't get twenty-five such men
without finding some sore toes. So
am going to have twenty-five hard
boiled, cold-nosed young men instead
men with no pasts. I'm not going
to have no thoroughbred sigr
hung on any path 1 want to follow. y
What gave you this dry-cleaninG
idea-what made you think the gov
eminent needed dry cleaning?" Van
derlip was asked.

than that the boy occasionally goes
to a movie, or a school dance, and
presses his clothes to make then,
look neat. Ought not the father to
thank God for having children who
have never caused him a bit OF
worry or trouble, and who have
practically supported themselves
since they were fourteen, by work
ing in vacation. and doing odd jobs
i'll school time? ANXIOUS.
Answer:
1 think this man is not only a
cruel and unnatural father, but that
he is a fool as we'll. He has failed
to do a fathers part in cherishing
bis children, and he has deliberately
done all that he could to make fail.
ures of them by discoura ging them
and supplng their courage.
One of the greatest forces in the
world for good or evil is the power
of suggestion. With it you can al.
most make success or failure, and
these children must have had eXcep-
tionaEy strong minds and wills, or
else they would have succumbed to
their fathers tactics, and become the
nonentities he tried to make, them.
In former times, it was thought
good for a child's soul to keep before
its mind all of its defects, and to tell
It continually how dull and stupid it
was, and what an humble place it
was destined to take in the world, or
how homely and awkward it was,
and to make it generally feel that
1t was such hopelessly unprOmising
specimen of humanity that its par
ents should have taken it out and
drowned it as We Go the runt one Of
litter of uppies.
But intelligent people know better
than that now. They know that YOU
can set the fixed idea of it's stupid
lty SO firmly implanted in a child S
mind thai it will never make an eff
fort to exercise its intelligence at
all. We know that the more we
speak of a chiid's awkwardness the
clumsier it gets. The more you con-
vince a girl she is homely, the home.
ier she will be.
And, on the contrary, by praising
a child's intelligence you can fire it
with an ambition that will keep it
at the head of its class. You can
cure awkwardness, which is only
seif-consciousness, by flattering a
child into thinking better of itself.
And You can make almost any wom-
an pretty by dressing her up and
making her vain enough to carry
herself like a beauty.
We all unconsciously live UP to
our blue china and Try to be what
people expect us to be.
