END Of SESSION
NOT YET IN SIGHT
Adjournment Far From AS
sured as Rivers Bill Agree
ment Is Delayed.

An Adjournment date for the pres
snt session of Congress, much desired
by members of the Senate and House
was still elusive today.
Supporters and opponents of the
rivers and harbors bill so far have
been unable to agree as 10 what shall
he done with that bill The view
was expressed by several Senators
favorinS the bill that Congress could
not now adjourn on saturday, as had
been planned. Indeed. they said they
expected the session To run until the
middle or the end of next week.
Many conferences are in progress
in the hope of winding up the session
AT the earliest possible date. Sup
purters of the rivers and harbors bill
insist they will not permit an ad-
iournment until that bill has been
passed or until an agreement has
been entered into by the Senate which
will set date for considering the bill
next December, under such limitation
of debate as will insure "a final vote
ON the measure. Such an agreement
they have not yet been able 10 pro
cure.
A proposed agreement was being
circulated this afternoon under which
the Senate would take UP the rivers
and harbors hill soon after Congress
meets in December and debate would
I've limited so that each Senator could
speak not more than one hour on
the bill and not more than one hour
on each amendment. While such
an agreement was reported tn I've sat
isfactory to opponents of the bill. 1t
was by no means satisfactory to many
of the supporters of the bill. The
latter feared that il each Senator was
allowed to speak for one hour on all
amendments that might he offered the
opponents would he able to filbuster
the bill to death i'm the short session
of Congress next Winter.
Prediction was made by some Of the
supporters of the bill that II would
vet he necessary to take up the rivers
and hal.bors bill in the Senate at the
present session and run along for ii
day or two, with perhaps IL night SEES
sion. in order to convince the oppO-
nents of the bill that an agreement
satisfactory to the bills supporters
must be reached. or Congress will he
kept here this Summer until the bill
pa sSes. A ma iority of the Senate
favors the passage of the bill, which
already has passed the House.
The House ways and means COM
mittee met today to consider the ad-
by the House. The committee took
meet again later in the afternoon.

.B[EASE AND REED
HALT TRAFFIC BILL
District Measure Delayed by
Demand for Security of
Trial by Jury.

The conference REPORT on the Dis
trict traffic bin was taken up by the
Senate again today on the motion of
Chairman Capper. hut up to ~ late
hour this afternoon had not been act
ed upon because Of opposition which
developed from Senators Blease OF
South Carolina and Senator Reed of
Missouri.
When the conference report was
called UP yesterday Minority Leader
Robinson Of Arkansas objected to its
consideration until he had time TO
study il. He withdrew his objection
today after having read letter he
received this morning from Traffic Di-
rector Eldridge, explaining the urgent
importance of enacting the measure
before adjournment.
The reading of the letter. now
ever led Senator Blease and Senator
Reed of Missouri to launch into
discussion as to whether the pending
bin would interfere with the right of
trial by Jury. They gained this i'm
preston from that section of the bill
which would empower the traffic di-
rector to suspend operators permits
pending trial.
Senator Harreld OF Oklahoma sup
ported Chairman Capper in defending
the bill, pointing out that under exist
ing conditions in Washington cases
have been brought to the attention
of the District committee in which
individuals charged with driving
while under the influence Of liquor
and other serious offenses continued
to drive their cars because the pres
ent law does not permit reVoca-
ton of operators permits except fol-
lowing conviction on certain charges.
After the debate had gone on for
some time Senator La Toilette OF WIS
consin stated that since 1t seemed un-
likely the traffic report would be
agreed to at that time. he desired to
nJdra.s the Senate on another matter.

DO MEN LIKE FREAKISHLY MADE,UP GIRLS?

Dear Miss Flo:-Why do girls per-
sist in being such fools-where men
are concerned? Why do they make
up their faces like circus performers
and dress like freaks obviously to
allure the male-and then wonder
why those men whom they do sue
ceed in attracting get the wrong inn
preston of them. My sister is al
ways complaining that there are no
nice boys left. Then she gets her
self up in such a way that really
nice fellows would not be the least
bit interested in her. AS a matter
of fact she just gave a nice boy who
likes her the air, and is virtually
throwing herself at the head of a
poor sap who doesn't give darn for
her. Girls don't show any judgment
at all. Buddy.
M-m-m-m well, Buddy, perhaps
girls don't always show the best of
Judgment, but it seems to me that
if men displayed a little more judg-
ment in selecting sweethearts and
wives, girls wouldn't go to such ex-
tremes as making up their faces

like freaks to allure the male" You
