QUESTIONS OF
ETIQUETTE
MRS. Cornelius Beeckman-
Returning q Gift

SNA AAAAS - OAUH
nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
- Two of my very best
friends had an argument and l
told them knew one person
who could settle the matter.
The subject being discussed Is
gifts we received last Christmas.
< says one must refuse a gift
from friend If one is not re.
turned. Y says one should ac-
cept it with the heartiest thanks
even though none is returned.
am undecided. Will you
please act as peacemaker?
THE PEACE MEDIUM.
Blessed are the .peacemakers,
It's said, and SO you must be
blessed. dear friend, for your eff
fort to settle this "argument"l
7 is distinctly right, for certainly
we should never gauge the pres.
ent that. we give a friend by the
friends present or lack of pres.
ent. That would represent too
much, You give me a present
and I'll give you one."
Now. don't think that I don't
realize that many people do gauge
their presents this way. especially
Christmas presents, but that does
not make it right or gracious.
There are always people with
narrow, grasping spirits.
But the fact remains that we
should give our presents with no
String" to them. We should
give them because we wish to
give them, because our spirit
wishes that particular form of
expression. If we do this it would
be a spiritual calamity for a
friend to refuse our gift. And
our friends should receive our
gifts in the same way, because
we wish to give them.
Apropos of this the, test of our
appreciation of gift is not
whether we are able to return"
one or have given one, but
rather in the way we manifest
our appreciation; that is, in the
grace and articulateness of the
note of thanks that we write.
And that is what makes Y so
compellingly right--for she aid,
zone should accept it with the
heartiest thanks" That Il the
point.

Bill. HANGING
IN THE BALANCE
Committee Will Decid e
Next Wednesday On Fate
OF Measure.

WASHINGTON, Jan ,22. - LP - The
question of whether the house is to be
given an opportunity this session to
vote on the Swing Johnson Boulder
canyon dam bill was placed today in
the hands of it's rules committee for
determination.
Friends of the measure, headed by

gument before the committee today in
favor of such action. The bills OPP
ponents, under leadership of Repre-
sentatives Leatherwood, republican,
Utah. and Hayden, democrat, Arizona,
rested their case yesterday.
Chairman Smell said the committee
would meet next week, probably We'd
nesday, to decide whether it would re-
port a special rule to call the bill up
in the house for consideration before
an adjournment of the session Swing,
in his closing argument, appealed to
congress to take Immediate action to
remove what he declared was the flood
menace that hangs over the Imperial
valley in California. He said he had
lived there for 1S years, that it was
the home of 10000 people, and that
each day there was a lurking fear of
destruction by floo0 waters of the
Colorado river.
The Californian contended this dan
ger was recognized by the bills op-
ponents, and quoted from their testi-
mony given before the house irriga-
tion committee which reported the
measure.
Hayden, he said, had testified in
effect that floods had occurred in the
! past, would occur again if something
was not done, threatening not only the
Imperial valley, but also parts OF
Arizona.
Professor George Smith of the Uni
versity of Arizona, also was quoted by
Swing as having testified that the
valley had been waging losing tight

NO LIVES LOS T
Four Thousand u. S. Citi-
zens In Shanghai And
Many Refugees.

WASHINGTON, Jan. % (P.-Appre-
hension over the plight of Americans
in China increased perceptibly here
today due to an outbreak OF rioting
in the international settlement OF
Shanghai The situation was not
clear enough in the absence of COM
plete official reports to permit COM
tment at the state department, yet II
was obvious that the outbreak was
regarded in official quarters as hav-
ing ominous possibilities.
Reports previously received from
Admiral Williams at Shanghai, III
command of all American naval
forces in Chinese waters, told of an
increasing number of local strikes
among Chinese workers of the inter-
national settlement. Such disorders
as this may have caused has not
been sufficient to warrant official
reports.
The demonstration of Chinese
street railway employees on Nanking
road. in the heart of the important
shopping district of the international
community, and the resulting clash
with the international police indt-
Gates to observers here, however,
that the anti-foreign agitation az
shanghai may be getting out OF
hand as it did at Hankow and else
where.
No additional steps to supplement
naval forces now quickly available
for protection to American residents
Of Shanghai were disclosed today by
the Washington government. There
are aspects of developments in China
in. the last few months which inspire
the hope in Washington that no
eventuality will occur there making

force than the international police
For one thing, state and navy
department advices do not indicate
that a single foreign life has been
lost in the rioting in any of the
disturbed areas. Only at Foochow'

has there been any direct attack on
Americans. The chief apprehension
in Washington arises from the fear
that the campaign of harrassmens

TAKES Up
NICARAGUA Case
FOR DISCUSSION
Request Interpretation OF
Monroe Doctrine On
Intervention.

WASHINGTON, Jan. % P-Ac-
tivity here today with regard to the
Nicaraguan situation was confined
to the house of representatives,
where two resolutions dealing with
The administrators policy toward
that country We're introduced by Rep
resentative Moore, democrat, vfr-
ginia on the floor Representative
I1uddleston, democrat, Alabama, re-
newed his criticisms of the adminis-
tration and demanded the Secretary
K ellogg take congress into his com
fidence. AS for the controversy with
Mexico over application OF the new
oil and land regulations, there were
mo Developments here.
In one of the resolutions offerec
by Mr.. Moore, who has been OUT
spoken in his criticism o1 the Wash,
ington governments policy toward
Nicaragua, the house was asked to
SO on record in interpreting the Mon
roe doctrine as opposed to interven-
tion by the United States in Latin
American republics except when
their independence was threatened.
The other would call for informa-
tion from Secretary Kellogg on varI-
Gus aspects of the Nicaraguan Sit
uation and asked whether the Wash
ington government was responsible
for designation of Adolfo Diaz as
president of the republic.
Both of the Moore resolutions were
referred to the foreign affairs COM
mittee, of which the Virginian is a
member. The one pointed to an
Interpretation of the Monroe doctrine
by Secretary Hughes, who declared
it opposed .encroachment upon the
political independence of American
state under any guise.
To extend it's application to collec-
ton of debts or other similar ends
was declared in the resolution to be
unwarranted and to place the United
States in an imperialistic attitude
toward other nations.

claring public opinion was. for peace,
said he was opposed to this dirty
war Members of congress, he as

FARM RELIEF
BNLAPPROVED
by COMMITTEE.
Action Clears Way For
Perennial Battle Over
Farm Relief Law.
REVOLVING FUND
Measure Would Appropri-
ate $25O,OOO,OOO To Ex-
port Surplus.

WASHINGTON, jan. % R.-The
new McNary- Haugen bill was. ap-
proved today by the senate agrt-
culture committee, the action clear,
ing the way for a renewal in botn
houses of congress of the perennial
battle over farm relief legislation
The measure, which would levy an
equalization fee on basic crops with
q view to controlling surpluses, was
reported recently by the house agrI-
culture committee, three of whose
members, opposed to it, filed min
ority report today setting forth
their views.
The proposal, sponsored jointly by
Chairmen McNary and Haugen, or
the two committees, is now on botn
the senate and house calendars, with
proponents determined to force vote
on it before March 4 adjournment
and opponents resorting mainly to
the Curtis-Crisp bill as weapon to
defeat the equalization fee provision
Managers of each bill plan to press
them forward next week, with spor-
sors of the McNary-H -Haugen measure
predicting that notifications made
in the bill will overcome the oppo-
sition that resulted in it's defeat in
both the senate and house at the
last session.
Chairman MeNary declared in a
statement that his bill provides Il
way for producers of the, basic agri-
cultural crops to adjust supply to
demand in their most profitable mar
kets to their best interests" while
the minority report of the house
committee members-R Representatives
1incher, of Kansas; Pratt of New
York, and Fort, cf New Jersey, re-
publicans-branded the measure as
'more Objectionable and certainly
more unconstitutional that the orig
inal proposal presented at the last
session." The action of the senate
committee with two absentees was
/ unanimous and without amendment.
ing fund of $3.50, 100000 would be
appropriated to be administered by a
federal farm board for the export OF
surplus of cotton, wheat, corn, swine
and rice, which would be repaid by
&n equalization fee collected against
the crops at the processing point.
Limitation of outstanding loans for
any one commodity at one time
would be fixed at $25,OO0,00U.
(, While the senate committee was
acting, the house agriculture COM
mittee approved the Tincher bill to
