Babe Ruth, batting his eyelashes
before Hollywood movie cameras,
says he prefers blonds. We thought
it was bonds. The Babe is

honors. He plays right field at a

Holds his fork as though he were
intending to bunt, and tries every
thing that comes before the bottles
start flying. Must be nice

he likes blondes in blue. But he was

readily be seen that it might be
worse, but some folks will insist
that if none of them passed, it
might be even better
The famous 59th congress, with
it's 6940 laws, was not such a
hopelessly idiotic group as it seems
to have been on first glance. Only
692 of these were public laws and
most of the rest were pension bills.
President Roosevelt nearly broke his
arm signing those 6,24S private laws.
Pension and public building bills
are now handled in omibus bills.
The war congress of 1919 offers
an example of commendable restraint.
At this most critical period of history
only sos laws We're passed, the
lowest number in any congress for
80 years back. But the biennial
figure has been jumping ever since.

in 1888 rather more than 81 900 federal
laws have been passed. And these,
be it remembered. are only a fraction
of the laws this country has on it's
statute books. There are 4S state
legislatures working constantly on
newer and better laws; there are
city councils, county boards and boards
of selectmen, taking themselves very
seriously and piling up the total
constantly
One figuring brother has estimated
that more than 10,0O0,OO0 laws have
been passed in this country, count
ing in all these sources.
Senator George H. Moses on oc-
casion roars at the ever-rising wave
of state and federal legislation.
He knows that more than $4,000
bills were introduced in congress and
the state legislatures during the
two-year biennial period ending in the
spring of 1925 and he is certain
that the last two years have seen
no decrease, so that it would appear
that about $4,000 had been intro
duced since 1928 1t is too early
to say how many have been passed

ing her home with him.
"The crisis could have been avoided. "
said Mrs. Kennedy, when attempted
to hold a conference with Mrs. NC
Pherson."
She said she had called her daugh-
ter on the telephone yesterday only 10
have the receiver hung up before she
could say word.
Language Too Forceful.
The evangelist had a different ver-
sion of the affair.
Mother used language that
couldn't bear others to hear If they
were listening in on onr party line,
Mrs Mcpherson said. II tried to tell
her that it would be 'ruination for us
If her language to her daughter was
heard by others. I hung up, waited
for five minutes until she had cooled
off and then called her again"
Mrs Kennedy denied her daughter
had called her the second time.
''That statement is untrue" she de-
clared. II did not use any but the
hest language at my command and my
daughter did not call me again."
The row between mother and daugh.
ter threatened to involve questions
surrounding Mrs. McPherson's story
of kidnapping. Mrs. Kennedy told
reporters how she had defended her
daughter when the evangelist was un.
der fire in that case, declared she had
taken blame for the Temple pastor
and stood shoulder to shoulder with
her daughter. She denied vehemently
published report that she had
doubted the evangelist's story.
Mrs. Mcpherson struck at her
mother with the statement that five
persons had been told by the Temple
business manager that she intended to
break and crush her Mrs. McPher-
SOM and drive her from every pulpit
in America and abroad" She gave
the names of three of the five.
Mrs. Kennedy denied her daughters
charges and predicted that both her
self and the evangelist would be ousted
from the Temple il their row continued.

LOS ANGELES, July 2S.-The walls
Of Angelus Temple echoed anew with
tliscord today as Mrs. Minnie Ken
iledy. mother of Aimee Semple Nc
Pherson, the pastor, warned that "a
crisis is near" in the dispute between
the two women over the management
and funds Of the large religious enter
prise.
Mrs. Kennedy, who was ousted as
business manager of the temple upon
the return of the evangelist from an
unfinished revival campaign at Alton,
Ill.,, prefaced her warning of an ap-
preaching crisis" by Indignantly re-
fusing the offer last night of peace
committee appointed by Mrs. Nc
Pherson to settle the differences be-
tween the two woman leaders.
Four Alternatives Open.
Four alternative futures of Mother"
Kennedy were held out by the com.
mittee appointed by her daughter.
They offered to permit Mrs. Kennedy
to remain at the temple "as the evan
gelists mother" or to permit her to
tour the world or visit the Holy Land
at the church's expense. They sug-
gested that she might carry on reli-
gious work in other fields if she liked.
In conclusion, the committee sug-
gested that Mrs. Kennedy return to
her wealthy husband, w. White
beck, who is well-to-do engineer on
a big Hudson River liner"
This last, like the three other pro.
posals. struck no favorable note with
Mrs. Kennedy. Although there have
been reports from time to time thai
Mrs. Kennedy had married since her
first husband died, the statement by
her daughters committee was the first
announcement that had been made
regarding it. Mrs. Kennedy said she
