second date with the reading clerk.
The definitions section of the
measure was not completed in the

Party lines have been disregarded

views found themselves on the same
side for some provisions as the fight
opened. Senator Lenroot, Wiscon-

World Court fight, is attacking the
inheritance tax repeal eprovisions,
which is so dear and necessary to
Senator Smoot, Utah, chairman Of

this fight.
Lenroot thus aligns himself with
Senators La Toilette, Shipstead, Fra
zier and other insurgents on this
vital item.
In the fight over the repeal of
publicity of income taxes voted by
the House upon an Administration
mandate, Senators Harrison, Mis-

The second last picture on this
years program, to be shown in
D. B. S. hall Friday evening is
entitled THE Goose Hangs
High the great American family
picture, a story of a father who
lost his money but found his
children's hearts, answers the
question Young America is ask
ing: Are parents our best
friends or just our severest cri-
tics?" On Christmas eve the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Ingals has
assumed the holiday garb in an
ticipation of the Homecoming of
the three: children and of the
family reunion. Ingal and his
wife, Eunice, have sacrificed and
denied themselves and now Hugh,
Lois and Bradley have grown up,
pleasure-loving, extravagant and
self-centered. On his meager
salary the father is trying hero
ically to give the younger chill
dren advantages. Unmindful of
the parents struggle, the chill
dren tumultously arrive, babbling
about their future plans. On this
Christmas eve, the children with
characteristic thoughtlessness
run off just before dinner. Gran
ny, Eunice's strong-minded mo-
Their, takes matters into her own
hands after Ingals resigns his
position, summons the children
summarily and outlines to them
the situation. For the first time
Lois, Hugh and Bradley realize
their selfishness; their eyes are
opened and they decide to help
their parents with all the energy
they had hitherto expended
upon their own amusement. In
the end, each willing and anxious
to share the family burden, they
realize that Everything is lovely
and the goose hangs high"

Horemans, who is rather unique
in topnotch billiards in that he's a
southpaw, is a great masse player.
He's deadly at that difficult shot,
probably as good as the game has
produced. But you cannot play
the masse all evening. He's like
wise a splendid fancy and trick
shot artist. But the fancy stuff
doesn't have much place in reg
ular match, either.
It's not taking anything away
from Horemans to say he was a
bit lucky in usurping Schaefer's
laurels. The Belgian got the
breaks, pushed out to an early
lead and barely managed to hold 1t
to the end. Schaefer, il anything,
played below his usual form. He
showed but one real flash of cham
pionship stuff. 1t came near the
end of the match, when he clicked
off 432 caroms for new world
record. only to lose out by five
points. 1t was one Of the greatest
uphill rallies in all billiard
history.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-Prominent
tennis officials here were surprised
today at the cabled dispatch from
Nice that Mile. Suzanne Lenglen,
women's tennis champion OF the
world, had broken down again and
would not be able to play for two
months.
Helen Wills, American champion.
arrived here today from California
and sails Wednesday for France,
where she intends to play in several
important winter tournaments.
1t appears now that the long
awaited Lenglen-Wills match, one
Of the greatest treats tennis has had
in prospect, must be deferred indefi-
nitely. r-
Mile. Lenglen is extremely unfor-
tunate in that she usually breaks
down on the eve of big match ard
that such circumstances place her
in a position where she might be
misunderstood.
From the time her pluns were an.
nounced for a trip to Europe, Helen
Wills, American champion. made it
clear she was not in pursuit OF the
worlds championship and that tennis
was to be only a diversion with her.
She did express the hope, however,
that Mile. Lenglen might play in
some Of the tournaments that she
planned to enter.
This is the third time the French
star has been forced TO withdraw
from tournaments in which an Amer
lean champion has been an entry.
