init it, it is generally believed the vote
will be obtained within a few days.
This belief is strengthened by dis
aVowals from the opposition of any
intention to filibuster, a proceeding
Which could prevent legislation in this
last lap of the session.
FiIibuster Denied.
A fflibuster would mean talking the
bill to DEATH" or holding the floor to
prevent vote upon it. But Senator
Howell, who still wants to discourse
on what he considers the big inter
est leanings in the measure, dis
claims any such purpose. Senator
Pittman appears to have surrendered
TO the viii of the majority, for he
offered no objection to an immediate
vote or to setting a time for vote. The
objection Monday was raised by Sena-
tor Howell.
The arguments on the motions were
essentially those previously advanced.
The first motion would have recon-
mitted the bill with instructions to the
Senate conferees to insist on broad
casters waiver to any vested rights IN
the ether, and to insist also on a limit
to the life of the act to the length of
the first session of the next Congress;
in other words, to about one year.
Compromise Defended.
The first provision was designed as
q protection of absolute public owner
ship of the ether, and the second was
TO open the way for new legislation
along with new developments in the
infant radio. Senator Robinson. Dem
ocratic floor leader; Senator Borah and
Senator Shipstead concurred in this,
indicating the force of the arguments
of the opposition in causing division
of party and bloc lines. This division
was apparent on both sides of the
vote Monday.
But the motion was defeated, 48 to
20, upon Senator Dills insistence that
the bill as now written was the best
conlpr )mise obtainable from the House
and upon his statement that to recon-
nit the bill would mean an impasSe in
conference that would prevent any leg
tslation at all this session. The sec
ond motion left out the waiver clause,
but included the limitation provision,
vet it also was defeated, 43 to 81.
The votes were noteworthy by the
failure of large number of Senators
TO vote and the apparent reluctance
of many who did vote. 1t is evident
the opposition's arguments have regis
tered, but the danger of falling to get
any legislation at all this session while
chaos prevailed in the ether plainly
was feared. The radio public's de-
mand upon Congress has been too
ansistent to be disregarded.

When He Would Forget National
Perplexities He Turns to Brush
and Palette.

LONDON, February 9.-When Win
ton Churchill wants to forget budgets
and everything else connected with
his lob as chancellor of the exchequer
he picks UP a brush and palette and
begins to paint. To ease his mind
of affairs of state as President, Wood
row Wilson used to read detective
stories night after night in the White
House, and Mr.. Churchill tried this,
but the system did not work So he
went back to his paint brush as an
cid to ease his mind when troubled by
figures and finance.
Mr.. Churchill is very skillful with
palette and brush, having studied ert
as boy, and his friends declare he
could have easily become a painter
of the front rank had he been able
TO shake off the family tradition of
politics.

Woman Accorded High
Rank in Intelligence

That Anatole France had high re-
gard for women may be gathered from
the conversation which took place be-
tween himself and his secretary,
Sander Kemeri, and which is reported
in her book, "Rambles With Anatole
France"
"'The intelligence Of the woman is
very high and she is ready to go to
all extremes in asserting herself he
says. More than the man she Is
aware of the age in which she lives,
because she carries it within herself.
In our search for the history of the
past it is the woman who shows us
the way. 1t is she who makes us fore
see the future, it is the woman, heroic,
sentimental romantic, emancipated
independent. She was taken from
Adams breast, near his heart, brought
to life by his ardent desire. How
could she be anything else but his
image? Therefore the woman's des-
tiny depends on the man."
