Il don't propose to appropriate much
money for flood control My bill will
provide for few more levees, but it
will also provide for fish nets strung
across the broad expanse of that great
river, so that all the fish may be sold
to make the repairs and improvements
pay for themselves.
"As for farm relief everybody knows
that all the farmer wants, down in the
bottom of his heart, is promises.
Promises have always taken care of
the farmer in the past and they're
good enough now The only trouble is
that we haven't promised him enough
My farm relief bill will demand num-
ber of new promises for the farmer
which have never been made before.
The other party won't dare oppose
them.
eff my colleagues listen to me, we'll
dispose of Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Ware
with neatness and dispatch All that's
necessary is a resolution which will
keep them off the floor and in their
Offices with provision that we will send
for their votes by messenger whenever
they are needed They will not be per-
mitted to vote except when necessary"
Other McWhorter proposals include
laws providing toothpicks for desks in
the senate punishment for pages who
laugh at senators behind their backs,
bigger and better cuspidors, larger
hunks of pie in the senate restaurants
and dollar bills printed on pink paper.
Senator McWhorter's colleagues were
slow to comment on his program, but
some admitted that he showed splen-
did grasp of political and economic
principles.

More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
A MATTER OF PREFERENCE

There's a wonderful thrill when the
wind blows chill
In the lash and the bite of the gale
And the swing and shift of the feath-
cry drift
When the dawn breaks grayly pale
There's a charm in the roar on the
wintry shore
Where the spin drift blows alec
But I'd rather spend my next week
end
On the beach at WAIKIKI. .
The pulses thud with the leaping blood
When the blizzard sweeps the plain
And the gray wolf creeps through the
snowy deeps
With an echoing yelp of pain.
First high then soft groans the wind
aloft
Like the voice of giant tuba;
But at times like these I'd prefer my
ease
On the Malecon in Cuba.
If man is a man he will boldly scan
The meadows of moulded white,
Filled with buoyant hope as he fares to
cope
With an arctic winters night.
He shouts, "Hooray" as he fights his
way
In the teeth of the icy Squall,
But as for me would rather be.
On the porch of the Tai Mahal
When the night comes down on the
little town
That is pitched on the lone prairie,
The massive piles by the snowy aisles
Are wonderful thing to see.
It is good to hear, shrill, high, and
clear
The terrible tempest whine,
But I'd rather stay till the first of
May
On an atoll, down on the line

Menus for the Family
BY SISTER MARY

4, BREAKFAST - Stewed dried
peaches, cereal, cream, scrambled
eggs with dried beef, bran muf-
fms, milk, coffee.
LUNCHEON = Creamed oyster
plant on toast, carrot sticks,
orange bavarian cream, milk, tea.
DINNER - Mutton with rice,
creamed turnips, endive with
Roquefort cheese dressing, canned
pears, plain cake, milk, coffee.
If you use a freless cooker the
dinner dish is excellent for it.
However, casserole and slow
oven is quite as good. The entire
dinner is ideal to serve IL the
housekeeper has spent an after
noon "out." The meat is prepared
and put into a slow oven to cook
while the cooks away, the tur-
'nips are boiled and diced ready
to be reheated in white sauce, the
endive is washed and put on ice
to crisp and the cake is baked in
the morning. So the last minute
work, after the cook returns, re-
solves itself into setting the table,
making the sauce and salad dress
ing and serving the meal, the
whole a matter of twenty minutes
at most.
- Mutton With Rice
Three pounds foreleg of NUT

canned tomatoes.

WASHINGTON.-S j. Boom
boom McWhorter, who is now regarded
as presidential candidate despite the
fact that he has not announced him
self and despite the fact that nobody
wants him, has just outlined his legis-
lative program for the 10th congress.
Some of his proposals are somewhat
advanced and his platform doesn't
sound very much like the presidents
message, but the McWhorter measures
are certain to get the senator plenty
of publicity
All wise cracks to the effect that
Senator McWhorter is a pusSyfooter
who lodges vital issues or straddles
them to get votes are demolished by
his ringing declaration of principle on
prohibition The senator's friends such
as they are, strongly advised him to
avoid this subject because it was full of
dynamite and because the senator's
statements concerning it had often been
misconStrued in the past, but he re-
piled in crushing accents that he owed
a duty to his people and his party.
"WhaJ we must strive for in handling

satisfy everybody, but to make every
body happy" says the McWhorter
statement. "That means that we must
pass legislation which will meet the
enthusiastic approval of both vets and
drys.
''The solution is extremely simple,
when you come to think of it, and I
shall soon introduce a bill to embody
it. Briefly, my plan is first to remove
the restrictions on rum-running upon
our coasts and our frontiers. This will
make better hooch easier to obtain
and will surely placate all vets.

 ClTY'S CHURCHES AGAIN IN FULL SWING

Sunday evening will begin the sixth season of the use Of motion pictures at the South church. The film selected for the opening night IS the screen version of David Be- lasco's stage play, The Music Mas ter"
 The story is laid in the New York of 1900, and is chiefly con- cerned with Anton Won Barwig, a lovable old musician who gave up a brilliant career in Vienna to come to America in search of his wife who ran away with a man who had been his friend, and taken with her his baby daughter,
 For l9 years he continued the search, selling, in the meantime. all his precious mementos of happier days 10 pay detectives. At the time the story opens, he is living in cheap boarding house near the Bow cry, teaching music to the children Of the neighborhood and playing evenings in a medicine show or chestra.
 The climax Is reached In that dramatic scene made famous on the stage by David Warfleld, when the real father and the foster father meet and clash with all the accu- mulated bitterness of the years be- tween them.

Louvre Museum Conscryator De- clares Bones and Implements
 Were Planted" 20 Years Ago,

Paris, Oct. tP-Controversy over the authenticity of the supposedly neollthic remains found in the exca- vatlons at Glozel, near Nichy, three years ago is likely to be settled by appointment of an international committee 10 continue the excava- tlons and formulate a conclusive re- port.
 White Rene Dussaud, conservator of the Louvre Museum, charges that the implements and bones were planted there less than twenty years ago at most and probably as a hoax, other eminent experts, among them Prof. Solomon \Reinach French archaelogist, and Dr. George Grant MacCurdy of the Peabody Museum, Yale University, insist that the finds are genuine.
 The whole sliair was threshed over at the anthropological congress held in Amsterdam last week, when NJ. Dussaud's charges were aired. The congress favored appointment Of an International committee to settle the controversy, which prob ably will be done within the next fortnight.
