u
Despite the adverse House
vote on a June 80 adjourn
ment, high hopes were held by
Administration leaders today
that Congress would be home
ward bound either by the end
Of June or in the first few
days in July.
The combination which sue
ceeded in sending to commit
tee the adjournment resolution
is held together by the loosest
ties and early Senate action
on farm relief would cause
wholesale defections, accord
ing to leaders of both parties.
IF the House had passed the
resolution" said one prominent
Democrat, at would have placed
in the hands Of every Senator the
power to defeat important legisla-
ton. The House merely issued q
warning to the Senate to clear
up farm relief debate and other
important measures, after which
there will be q wholesale scram-
bling to vote for prompt adjourn
Ynent."
Farm Bill IL Issue
Farm bloc leaders who supported
Representative Madden RI, Of
Illinois, in setting aside the resoIu-
ton declared today that they were
primarily interested in giving Con-
gress ample opportunity to settle
the agriculture problem.
If the Senate passed the Nc
Nary BILL said Representative
Dickinson R.). of Iowa, I'VE want
to be able to bring it before the
House without having to worry
about q definite date. IL. on the
other hand, the Senate defeats 1t,
there would be no reason for Us
to stay hefe. :
want Coal Legislation
Another faction, led by the New
York Democratic contingent, op.
posed the resolution in the belief
they might be able to force action
on some sort OF coal legislation to
prevent the wholesale suffering
caused by the recent anthracite
strike.
Because the Interstate and For
eign Commerce Committee was still
ba dly split today over the type of
co / legislation it would report, there
apl cared slight hope that Repre-
sentative Parker R). New York.
chairman, would call another meet
ing. The committee has already
tabled all the bills until the next
session.
The second deficiency bill is
scheduled to be laid before the
House Thursday and probably sent
to the Senate by the end Of the
week.
Madden, chairman of the Appro-
priations Committee, has been &C.
cused of delaying a report on the
bill to force the Senate to pass the
rivers and harbors legislation, which
carries a 81 ,350,0 item for the Inn

WOMEN AND RELIGION
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

In spite of the fact that the majority of women
have stronger faith than men, they the ones who
give up their creeds in marriage. FH NEE
For women think little of the forms of religion
They believe in God and future state and are will
ing to leave the rest Heaven jus as they have al
been in the habit of leaving their temporal prob
lens to the men.
In marriages contracted by persons of different
faiths it is the girl who is expected to give up her
church and go into that of her husband. Men when
they do have opinions about religion cling to them
like grim death, Women, the contrary have long
learned from life to be amenable. They have acclfs
toned themselves to guidance from their men, re-
igion dosed out by husbands has been Swallowed
contentediy by wives for long ages
OF the two woman has by far the most sublime
faith Somehow, being mother she realizes that God
will not hold her to blame and she that after
all, creed is but the husk of religion
Love is womans faith and she gives her all for it.
Contentious about form mean nothing to her
This is the reason why great many people insist
that women are less religious than Because they
able to beauty of reality behind the bulwar
of clumsy creed with which man has surrounded his
church. they are often accused of being irrelgious
What is not always understood is their greater
depth of faith For they the ones who have kent
the love of God alive the of the world While
have kept the altar burning before the shrine Of
love because they know that leVe, after ALL is God
Without this service of women, church could
have survived For woman, strangely is both the
Martha and the Mary of present-day religion. She
tolls that the stair carpet may be paid for she
somehow keeps sublime living forever in the
midst of turmoil and sin
Hers is the religion of love and service the same
religion asst that practiced by Jesus Christ

Florida Has a Chance

Now comes Miami, suffering her
affection like the rest-an affection
which is common to that Quarter of
the world, and Which is Just as apt
to strike Florida as TAmpico.
The surprise OF Che thing is what
really hurts. and that is due far
more, to a hopeful kind of advertis-
ing than to the facts of the case.
Everybody should have realized
that Florida would suffer from one
of those storms sooner or latter, es-
pecially the promoters. They have
seen storms pass east, west and
south Of them. They should have
known that one would hit some time,
and should have built with that
possibility in mind.
There is generally a way to meet
and beat nature if you take account
Of her whims and vagaries. But
there is no way if you do not.
Cities and ports that study these
storms and prepare for them are Ii
able damage, but not to morta
| injury.
Miami will now take account o.
her exposed position, something sh,
has not done hitherto, and be a bet
ter town for it, just as Galveston
and Corpus Christi are.
These storms are violent and las
a long while. but they include n,
such a concentrated devilment a
|
They make development of tn
gulf coast a little harder, but repre-
sent no insurmountable difficulty.

Ground Gained

In 1900 Galveston was struck.
with 5000 dead, ships high and dry

went through the tragic experience.
Rich Spillane, among the rest, who
was first to get out with the grim
news, and DR.. Young who grabbed
the Intel of a second story outside
door as he fell, his house collapsfng.
and Heated away into the darkness.
They picked up bodies for a month
along the Texas coast and it took
nearly as long to find all the dead
amid the wreckage, but $4,000 folks
and more went through that night

When the worst storm hit in 1915.
1t found Galveston raised ten feet
and buttressed by a four.n1ile con-
crete wall. There was damage. of
course, and loss Of life to the extent
Of 200 or So but the fact that Gal.
weston stood shows what modern
engineering can do even against
measureless wind and tidal waves.

WHEN NATURE STRIKES

Today the Nation stands aghast and appalled, by
he extent of disaster and death which has come to
one of the favored spots of earth
Where but yesterday there were happy people,
hopeful and optimistic great buildings to delight the
sye and magnificent homes to content the soul there
s Wilderness and waste. N
And death, too, has come to many
Almost as if to mock the puny efforts of man,
Mother Nature in an unkindly mood, has struck
And when she unlooses her terrific and terrible
orces the works of man dwndle and disappear
The great heart of this city is peculiarly touched
" the misfortune which has come to the sunny lands
If FLORIDA.
For this city, built by the of pioneers, sent
many of her pioneering and daughters to that
and which had a new discovery only so brief time
go.
They went as their fathers and mothers went
,efore them to new places, whenr opportunity
seemed to beckon just las the sons Of Indiana will
llways be found wherever and whenever adventure
lends its challenge
Today they are in that stricken zone and hearts
ire heavy with miBglvings and great is the
or friends and relatives.
Here is a situation which ever and always unites
human hearts in one great bond of sympathy and
leep concern.
There is need there, and there will be need for
many days to come
1t is the same need which other cities have felt
when Nature inexplicabe and inscrutible grows
ngry. r.
1t is the same need which sent sympathetic
world to San Francisco when the earth trembed and
thousands felt the weight OF woe and loss.
1t is the same need which stirred the hearts for
TOXIC when the seas rose and blotted out life.
1t is the same need which years ago sent trains
f aid and comfort to stricken Dayton lf
And let us not forget that even Indiana, favored
it is has felt the shock of such disasters and its
eople gladly and gratefully have received the sym
athy and aid in such an hour
There was Newcastle and New Albany and
Princeton all stricken by similar fate, and in that
lour the people Of more fortunate communities sent
heir succor and AID to stricken cities.
Today that call comes from Florida and there
men stand appalled, at the extent of the blow which
has been received and the heart is numbed by the
sudden taking of human life.
Men do not understand why these things happen.
Man has been able-to change the current of events
many respects, Man has not yet learned how to
control the winds and the waves
Some day. perhaps when we learn more about
life we may understand how to guard against these
disasters which stir souls and make us kin
But today the mind and the heart-t not to
the loss of property not to the leveled cities
the magnificent homes that are no more, but to the
men and women who may be in dire need, of aid.
To them goes the sympathy and to them must
90 the aid.
Before such calamites men only marshall a
united front of kindly care
The anger OF Nature is call to the deepest emo
tons of the human soul J

A Terrible Fight

I was in Houston during the 1915
storm. Houston is fifty miles in
land from Galveston and twenty
five miles from the shore of Calves
ton Bay.
1t began to blow hard about IN
the afternoon and kept It up for
more than twelve hours. The cars
stopped running at 6 and the lights
went off at s.
We occupied a two-story frame
house at the corner of Baker and
Morgan SITS, and felt reasonably se-
cure until the windows began to
blow out, which was about mid
night, when took Mrs Tracy un-
der one arm and my little daughter
under the other and made for bun
galow next door.
Both houses stood all right. as did
practically all those in the city, but
out on the prairie, where the wind
had a clear sweep many were de-
molished.

AID FOR FLORIDA

Florida calls to Indianapolis for
help and Indianapolis should be quick
to respond.
The Indianapolis chapter Of the
Red Gross has received word from ma
tional headquarters that tremendous
funds are needed to meet the emer-
gency in the southern city Contribu-
tions of money should not be delayed.
The effectiveness ofrelief work already
begun by this great national organlza-
ton will depend on the swiftness with
which sympathetic citizens in this and
4d<fer cities come forward with finan-
cial aid. Sender take your money to the
Red Cross at the American Legion
Bldg +.
In this hour Of distress the, coun-
try has cause for gratitude in the very
existence Of a nationwide organization
equipped for rescue work on the scale
called for. Those who otherwise
would be forced to SIT helpless are en-
abled to help.
If you fear for the safety of loved
ones in the stricken region or if you are
moved only by pity for any who may
suffer anywhere you can move most
directly to the Red Cross through the
agency of the Red Cross. All supplies
that are needed and all facilities for get
ting them to the devastated districts
are being made available to the Red
Cross. It's resources are limited only by
the generosity Of the American people
and on that, 50 far as Indianapolis is
concerned, let there be no limit while
( 5he present tragic emergency lasts. =

The gulf storms make up the
Yucatan Channel. They obey infiu-
ences that are not well understood
as yet, however, and it is practically
impossible to tell where they will
strike even after they appear to
have taken a definite course.
In 1919 the weather bureau traced
a storm to within 800 miles Of Texas
and then lost it. At that time it
seemed to- be moving in such direc-
-tion as would take it up the mouth
Of the Mississippi. The next any
body knew it had hit Corpus Christi,
500 miles to the southwest.

A HARP ENSEMBLE AND
A CORKING GOOD COMEDY

Have been told that it is danger
GUS to tell the world that anything
on the stage or screen Is education
al.
Am going to take the chance and
focus attention upon the Marie Me-
Quarrie harp ensemble. Here is a
musical organization that is both
educational and at the same time an
example of highly artistic musical
entertainment
This harp ensemble has the serv-
ices of seven women harpists and a
vocalist, Mary Moore. and a violin
