BILL FOR
HOUSE
Congressman Elliott Will Pre-
sent Measure Early in New
Congress Session

The $3.50, 100000 public buildings
bill will be reintroduced in Con.
gress December z in the form ii
which it was passed by the House
last year, it was announced today
by Congressman Richard N. Eli
oft of Indiana, chairman of the
Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds.
In case the bill does not pass
Senator Reed Smoot of Utah, chair
man of the Senate Finance Com
mittee, probably will introduce a
bill providing for a Federe1 bond
issue to finance the building pro-
gram, it was indicated today.
A Last Resort.
Senator Smoot. however, will re-
sort to the bond issue measure
only in case all other means fail.
Failure of President Coolidge to
endorse the Underwood bill pro.
viding SIS ,OOO, 900 for the purchase
of Federal Government building
sites, between Pennsylvania avenue
and the Mall will not delay the
building program, it was stated py
Congressman Elliott.
The new Elliott bill will author
lie the Secretary of Trasury TO
purchase such sites in the District
as may be needed for the erection
of departmental buildings author
lied
The bill, however. will not author
lie purchase of all of the area
covered by the Underhill measure,
much of which Is to be turned
into park land.
1t is not probable that any exten'
sive land purchases will be made in
the District under the terms oe the
act, Congressman Elliot said.
Owns Needed Sites
The Government already Owns
the sites upon which will be con-
structed the most badly needed Of
the proposed buildings.
1t is probable that the first four
buildings to be erected in the dis
trict will be the new quarters for
the Department of Justice, the De-
partment of Agriculture and the
Internal Revenue Bureau and a
Federal archive building.
The Federal building program
will take care of the needs of the
District and the remainder of the
country at the same time. Con
gresham Elliott today advocated
the completion Of Government build
ings throughout the country which
already had been authorized or for
which sites have been purchased.
There are now now about 100 such
sites, he stated. 1t will cost ap-
proximately $25. 5000, 900 to construct
the buildings on these sites, he
said.

Last War Fraud Case
Alexander Phillips. jointly indicted
with Morse and Davis, has died since
the Indictment was returned in
1922. This Is the last Of the war
fraud indictments. and Is now wiped
off the criminal records of the Dis
trict Supreme Court.
This was the first Of the cele-
brated war-fraud indictments to be
returned and the last to be disposed.
All the others resulted in favor Of
the persons indicted.
Plant Sold Cheap
The powder plant cost the Gov
eminent $50 1000 900. and the sale to
Davis and Phillips, representing the
Nashville Industrial Corporation, in
which were interested prominent
merchants Of Nashville. Tenn. was
for $4,000, OO0.,
The theory Of the indictment
was that Morse conspired with
Davis and Phillips to shut off COM
petition on the sale and prevent
the Government from realizing the
full value.
Counsel for the defense pointed
out that the sale came after COM
petitiye bidding, and there was no
ground for the charge of con-
spiracy. A civil proceeding brought
by the Government in, Tennessee TO
set aside the contract Of sale re-
suited, according to counsel for the
defense, in the upholding of the con-
tract.

THANKSGIVING THOUGHTS

Amid November days,
While Nature brOOds In secret soil

And croOns the fancy I'm a musinK

That lends a thoughtful gaze.
Though sky and landscape weave a
dFeaFy pail,
There are some cheerful CLEANS
Which cast a holy halo over all.
While sacred voices waken and recall.
Happy Thanksgiving dreams.
The soul of gratitude endeaFs the will,
And kindIes friendly thought
In hopeful human hearts with CLOVIS

Serene pursuit Of Iife's exalted Thrill,
The love of God has taught.

Europe, poorer and less efficient
than the United States, suffers
for lack of cars. Some of the
millions we spent for trucks, to
be used carrying freight. That
was educational. Enough trucks
competing with railroads and
cutting railroad freight prices
will make some of the old-fash-
toned railroad men think. Mere
ly relying on the Interstate Com
merce Commission to raise your
rates, when you need more money,
is not scientific railroading.
"Tom" Lawson, author Of "Fren-
zied Finance" and an active figure
In much frenzied finance of his
own, was buried last week close to
the magnificent estate that he
once owned. Wall Street gave 1t
to him. And Wall Street took 1t
away from him.
When he was sixteen he made
$4,000 in Wall Street. In twenty
years of Wall Street life he made
forty millions of dollars, and Wall
Street took it all back.
The old crouper at Monte Car
los gambling house said to this
writer long ago: 1--WE don't have
to worry about profits. While
they have money, the strangers
stay and gamble or spend it In
our hotels. When they haven't

So with Wall Street, If you

Mrs. Tennal, lady editor Of the
Sabetha Herald, in Kansas, tells
Kansas editors at Topeka that
every woman needs three hus-
bands one for society, one to
make money, one to look after
the housekeeping. "Present-day
husbands are satisfactory, as far.
as they go" she says, but they
do not go far enough.
The learned Mrs. Tennal knows
that polyandry, meaning several
husbands, was once the rule
among many nations. 1t still pre-
walls among certain semi-barbar-
Gus peoples.
And the husbands manage to get
along fairly well.
Polyandry, however, will not
solve the problem, The husband
must multiply his accomplish
ments, while increasing his ten
dency to fidelity. The American
husband makes money, but does
not know how to pay compliments.
Many European men pay mar
velous compliments, bnt can't
make money.
The combination, or "thIee-ln-
one," husband will appear In tho
course of evolution.
