The economy drive reduced over

1t will be there next year, says
Curtis, when the economies will be
fully felt. All this the Kansas SEN
ator has done in his spare moments
and entirely aside from his numer-
Gus legislative duties as Republican
whip of the Senate. 1t is his pet
hobby, he explains.
The Senator's theatrical expert
ences are confined principally TO
films and plays dealing with the
Old West. This is due chiefly to
the Indian strain given him by
his forebears and the fact that his
boyhood was spent on the plains
of Kansas, where he watched
westward ho'' bands of pioneers
struggling toward the land OF the
setting sun.

about legislation. To get an inter.

Too Young for Golf.
The Senator does not golf either.
m not old enough to golf is
the way he explains it.
The radio, however. has captured
his fancy. He maintains one Of
the largest radio sets in Washing
ton, and his friends call him a
radio bug.
Curtis also spends many hours in
reading. His knowledge of Senate.
rial procedure and legislative rules
is second to that of no other man
IN the nation. At his fingertips
are precedents by the score to bear
out the construction he will place
upon a rule. 1t is thetuse of prece-
dents, so far as the Senate is con
cerned, that really makes the rules
what they are today.
