6STH CONGRESS PASSES
NUMBER OF MAJOR LAWS

Washington, March 4.--R)-ln
writing its Legislative history, the
Goth congress placed upon the stat
ute books a number of major laws
but it will pass on to it's successor
many perplexing problems.
In its two years of office it cased
the nations tax burden By nearly
four hundred million dollars: APP
proved foreign debt settlements ag-
gregating three billions Of dollars,
and expanded the country's defense
forces both by air and by sea.
To the 10th congress it will leave
solutions of the long vexing ques-
tions of Muscle Shoals, farm relief
Boulder Canyon Dam, merchant ma
rine maintenance, coal control legis-
lation. alien property, and railroad
construction.

first and long session ending last
July, but disagreed with him upon
many questions in his last three
months reign.
At the outset a majority concur

against enactment of farm relief
legislation along lines Of the Nc
Nary Haugen plan. In less than
nine months, however. both the
house and senate reversed their po
sition, passing the bill and sending
it to the president, who promptly
vetoed it.

Washington, March 4.--R)-An-
other session Of congress passed IN
to history today to the accompani-
ment of senate storm that swept
into limbo some of the best laid
plans Of party leaders.
Chief among the administration
bills to fail of passage was the
$93,O00,0O0 deficiency measure, car
rying important money allotments
for the army, for veterans loans and
seed loans to farmers and for pen
sion increases.
Also consigned to the waste basket
were the alien property bill. the
postal rate revision bill, and tho
$l9,O0O,OOO appropriation to pay TO,
the first years work on the new pub
lie building program.
But the failure Of these projects
was not without its saving feature
for administration senators. The
favorites dragged down to defeat
with them the proposal which had
tied senate procedure in knot in
the closing hours of the session
the resolution of Reed Of Missouri
70 extend the life Of his campaigr
fund investigation.

Tuesday Evening.
This Is bridge club night again, and

Yesterday he showed me two bottles
he bought for the party, and with
him my guest and my brother -in.law,
he would not let me get past the corks.
While Joan was getting dinner this
evening said. "Bill, have bad
cold. Let me have one little drink,
will you? You're doctor and you
ought to know what I need" and he
said, Il sure do. Go out and buy your.

I said, II hope every drop you drink
out OF those two bottles burns a
square-inch hole in your neck, you
tightwad," and he said, II bought the
stuff for the poker party, I tell you.
I'm not going to waste it." I said,
And now you insult me on top of 1t.
1t never was waste to give me a
drink. 7 ought to tell Joan you have
those bottles stuck away in your
dresser. She'd darn we'll make you
throw them out" and he said, "Go
ahead and tell her, and you won't
get a drink even at the poker party"

the well travelled person perceives the
folly of even packing such a frock
and wisely chooses one equally cool,
but less inclined to muss.
Away From the Iron.
There are among the silks today
many that have the quality Of not
mussing easily and some that may be
said to do so not at all. Especially
is this true Of certain Of the sport
materials. In cotton. too, so refresh
ingly cool for days of heat, there are
some weaves of soft texture not easily
"mussable" in the sorts that incline
toward a crepe finish. The choice be-
tween a voile and organdy for travel
should be instantly made, for voile is
among the fabrics that do not need
frequent ironing to look fresh.
Knitted Materials.
No materials show so little sign of
hard wear in travel as those of the
knitted variety. Under this heading
come the many kinds of jerseys as
well as knitted silks, rayons. glove
silk, etc.
Never dependent upon an iron for
their good appearance, they make
splendid wardrobe companions for the
journey, emerging from the trunk or
suit case with the same air Of fresh
ness as when they were put in, pro-
vided they were not packed damp.
But even if this is the case and some
wrinkles have been induced to remain
in them, the beauty treatment for
them consists merely. of putting them
on hangers and letting them stay
where the air will circulate through
them. If it is sea air that Is to fan
them, the dampness in it makes short
work Of the mussed places, and If the
air is dry it takes little longer.
Broad Term.
BY the terms "knit" I mean also
the knit woven materials. not
merely those that would accord with
the literal use of the word. Such ma
terials come in very rich-looking
effects and are seen in sport coats.
dresses and other more sheer kinds
found in underwear.
Underwear.
1t is important in selecting under.
wear to use the same kind of dis
in regard to material and
it's freedom from the iron, but there
is also another factor to be consid-
cred. The washing and drying assets
are important. Select the materials

always responded before. Nothing
seemed to do any good this morning.
Tom turned sleepily on his side to
find Nan lying fully dressed beside
him. This was so unusual that it
shocked him into consciousness imme.
diately.
Man"
She stirred slightly.
Yes, dear"
Anything wrong?"
II can't seem to get going. I really
do feel rotten"
That little cameo face Of hers looked
like wax against the pillows. Tom
was suddenly terrified.
For the first time in their married
life he bounded out of bed. He brought
an ice pack improvised from a towel
and some cracked ice and put it on
her head. He pulled Off her patent
leather pumps and adjusted the fan.
Then, without stopping to shave, he
began to get breakfast himself.
But Nan didn't want any breakfast
when he brought it. She simply
turned her head to and fro on the
pillow.
Tom carried his to the table in the
window. 1t was really cooler this
morning. He looked ref1ectively out
Of the window and then back at Nan
lying SO lifelessly on the bed. The
inertness of her body terrified him.
Then he remembered that she was
posing for Malcolm Duncan. All his
life Tom had worshiped Malcolm Dun
can. The maze of line that meant
nothing il you stopped to look closely
and yet gave an effect that no other
artist could possibly manage. If ever
he could work like Malcolm Duncan!
What Tom didn't realize was that
Malcolm Duncan had worked like a
slave in the days before he had ar
rived. He had found his medium and
simply stuck at 1t. He had known
what he wanted and concentrated.
Dreary hour after dreary hour.
Tom simply wasn't built along those
lines. He would get an order and
would forget about it until few days
before the pictures were due. He was
always seeing a face he wanted to
paint or a medium in which he was
inexperienced, but would like to try.
Looking down into the back yards
that stretched before his eyes and
seeing nothing, he agonized over Nan.
Was anything serious the matter with
her, or was 1t just the heat and the
effect it had on her?
For the first time since their mar.
riage, Tom gathered the dishes to-
gether and carried them to the kitch-
enette. He carefully scraped them of
their contents, scraps, and left them.
Then he went back to Nan.
How beautiful she wasi But her
features seemed little sharpened.
Was 1t possible that she was really
Ill? Ought they to have a doctor?
He was suddenly panicky. II any,
thing happened to her 1t would kill
him. He simply couldn't live without
her.

Your Baby and Mine
by MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

There is so much talk of dieting
these days that even the prospective
mother gets the fever and wants to
keep down her weight. This is all
wrong. One should not overeat dur
ing pregnancy. as there Is no founda
ton to the old theory that one must
eat for two. but one needs a whole
some. ample diet containing all the
elements. and one needs a quart of
milk day to drink. in order to supply
the system with the lime that Is so
essential for the framework of the
growing child.
No dieting" still holds true after
the baby Is born, and while the mother
may have been philosophical before
the birth Of the baby about her loss Of
figure, she Is anything but that after.
ward. In fact. she expects the i'm
possible, and that is that her figure
will show no signs of what she has
gone through. Within year a
mother can very nearly regain her
former figure. 1t Is doubtful IL the
hips will ever be as narrow, and the
breasts will never be as firm, after
having nursed baby, as before. One
should not expect this. These are in.
evitable signs Of motherhood, a badge
which one should wear with pride and
not mournfully.
But there Is no real reason why q
woman should allow herself to settle
down and become fat and gross and
ill.shapen just because she has given
birth to a child. After she has weaned
the baby she may judiciously cut her
diet SO that she will slowly take off
any excessive fat she has gained dur.

had discovered a hole under the back
porch which Black Pussy was in the
habit of using. Little Miss. Curiosity
went under. She explored all around
underneath there. She was very well
pleased with it..
Here's where I'm going to dig n
home," said she. II have fairly ached
for a good place to dig. 1t Is no use
to try to dig through boards. Now
this looks like good digging around
here. believe I'll try it,
So just a little way back under the
back porch Little Miss Curiosity began
to dig. My, how the sand did fly! You
know, a woodchuck can make the sand
fly IL any one can. It was just after
Little Miss Curiosity had started this
hole that Black Pussy came across
from the barn, headed toward the
back porch. AS she drew near it she
heard strange noise underneath it.
Some one was under there. Could it
be that one of the children of Robber
the Rat had come over from the barn2
Black Pussy poked her head under
meath, her yellow eyes widening as she
sought to see what was going on in
the dark. Then she backed out so hast
lily that she bumped her head. She had

face. Yes. sir, she had received a lot
Of sand right in her face. Some one
had thrown it. The wonder was that
it had not gone into her eyes. No
wonder she backed out hastily! Her
tail swelled up to about three times
it's natural size. She growled. She
was upset. She was angry, yet she
didn't quite dare put her head in
there again. You see, she hadn't
found out who it was that was in
there.
Meanwhile Little Miss Curiosity
went on with her digging. She had
discovered that it was a fine place to
dig. 1t was sandy soil and that
meant easy digging. 1t also meant
that it was nice and dry. My, my,
how those little forepaws of that
young Chuck did fly, and how those
hindfeet did kick the sand out that
was showed back by her forefeet. In
less time than it takes to tell, there
was a good-sized hole there.
But Little Miss Curiosity was, after
all, only young Chuck. After bit
she grew tired. So she went up to
rest. She poked her head out from
under the porch and she poked it al.

she backed away. Little Miss Curl

poked her head out again and such a

plainly she was telling Black Pussy
to go away from there and stay away.
Now Black Pussy was very much
put out. AS long as she could re.
member she had regarded as her very
own that retreat under the back
porch. Once or twice she had had
visitors who had forced her to get out.
Jimmy Skunk was one. But these
visitors never had remained. Now
here was this young upstart of
Chuck digging hole under there. No
wonder Black Pussy was upset. But
being upset didn't help her any. The
truth is she really didn't dare go back
there and put the intruder out.

She stirred. How heavy her legs
were! She could hardly move them.
She felt as If she simply couldn't get
up. Was she really i'll? Or was it
the heat? She sat up. and the whole
room spun around in dizzy heat waves
1t wasn't any cooler. She was posing
for Malcolm Duncan. The story was
laid In Canada in the Winter. and she
wore chic little tobogganing suit
with wool tam o'shanter. There were
three pictures, and she had three
different poses. She wouldn't have
taken it in the first place if she hadn't
thought there would be a break in the
weather. Certainly the e heat had
never lasted like this. At least she
had never remembered such a spell.
She must pull herself together.
Tom. behind her, was slumbering
peacefully. Doing free-lance work as
he did, 1t wasn't necessary for him to
get up. But this morning the thought
of getting breakfast was impossible.
Perhaps a cold bath would help.
She ran cold water in the tub and
adjusted the spray. Over and over

didn't need the fan. She adjusted it
