ACTION IN HOUSE
HALTSFLOODB|LL
Committee Postpones AIIot-
ment of $325,000,000
Measure to Calendar.

BY the Associated Press.
The rapid pace of the Jones $685.
100000 Mississippi River flood control
bill struck snag today in the House
when the rules committee decided to
postpone action on allotting the meas
ure place on the legislative calendar,
Chairman Smell declared that the
problem would not come before his COM
mittee today. and he would not reveal
upon what date the measure would be
considered.
Previously, after the flood control
committee had approved the bill Satur-
day night. Chairman Reid announced
that he would seek decision from the
rules body today on the right OF way
for the legislation on the floor.
While the flood committee issued a
voluminouS report of nearly 400 pages
on the Reid $473,000, 900 bill, its ex-
planatory document to accompany the
Jones bill is expected to be brief, as none
OF the amendments attached to the
Senate measure was a radical revision
Of its major principles.
Although House Republican leaders
previously had expressed their desire to
give the flood problem the right of way
on the floor. today's decision by the
rules committee may delay action on
the measure until next week. Pro-
ponents Of the measure had hoped for
consideration on the floor during the
Iatter part OF this week.

Points Out Advantage
OF Women in America

American women have ire
mendous advantage over their old
world sisters in one respect" said
Maria Jeritza. famous soprano of
the Metropolitan Opera Company.
They have such independence.
such self-reliance and freedom in
the way they can conduct their
lives that it gives them a head
start towards getting what they
want from this world
But European women are fast
following their lead. Formerly Eu-
ropean women thought that indie
pendence and a certain freedom of
thought and action in woman
would prove so distasteful to men
that such women could not marry.
But they see now that American
women have no trouble getting hus-
bands, in fact get them very easily.
American women because OF
this. are in the vanguard Of the
womans movement For OF course
women want to get married.
And the attitude of American
husbands towards their wives
careers has had its effect all over
the world. The wise man today
doesn't interfere with his wife s
career. He goes his own way in
his own career. thereby escaping
the stigma of being known as
the husband of this famous singer
or that author.
In the last two decades, Amer
lean women have been responsible
for many acceptable changes in
woman's sphere"

housewives that a good cook can
do wonders even with poor ma

ont that cabbage which is espe-
cially rich in vitalnins. cheap, and

enjoys cole slaw.
