Wrangel gained his greatest
fame when he commanded the IA
nous Horse Guards Regiment in
the Russian advance on East Prus-

fact that his command captured
two German guns and two enemy

BILL TOCURB
FLOODS IS UP
TO PRESIDENT
Senate and House to Open
Farley on Differences
at Once.
CONCESSIONS EXPECTED
Coolidge Firmly Opposed
to Many Features in
Present Draft.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, April 25-The
Mississippi flood control issue was
directly before President Coolidge
today.
While the 1925, 100000 measure
the House passed Tuesday contain
ing some features Objectionable to
the President, will not go to the
White House for several days, it
probably will go in almost the same
form as approved by the House.
Senate and House conferees will
take the bill over today or Thurs
day to adjust differences between it
and the Jones bill, passed by the
Senate.
Bills Draw Coolidge Fire
Conferees apparently can not
make the measure any more &C
ceptable to the President.
The Jones bill, passed by the
Senate, provoked even more criti-
cism from the White House than
the combination bill passed by the
House. If Senate conferees insist
upon their measure, the final form
of the bill as it goes to the White
House, will be more Objectionable to
Mr. Coolidge than the House bill.
1t is believed. however, the Sen
ate will give way to most Of the
changes made in the House meas
ure at the Presidents insistence.
One Section Modified
The adjusted bill is expected to
receive the signature.
In passing the Bill. 254 to 81, the
House modified one section the
President objected to particularly.
that requiring Federal purchase of
land for foodways. AS the bill
stands, the Government must pur-
chase only flOWape rights.

CHICAGO, April 2. - Paint
~ your cheeks from the inside!"
This is the slogan, with its sub
tie appeal to vanity, of a cam
paign now under way in Chicago's
high schools to save the fappers
from themselves.
Some of the most prominent
teachers in the city heading the
program. Early to bed and early
to rise, they say, makes a girl
healthy, wealthy-and beautiful.
These five rules are being i'm
pressed on girl students who
dance until the wee sma' hours
of the morning and then yawn
over their books in the classrooms
next day with resultant detriment
to mental efficiency and beauty:
l. Early to bed and eight
hours sleep.
2. No late dances or joy rides.
3. Proper dress.
f. No smoking or drinking.
5. Little or no petting.
One Of the most active teachers
in the campaign is Miss Alma S.
Flick, dean Of girls at Roosevelt
high school.
TIME first and foremost thing
n we are demanding of our
girls is eight hours sleep at night,
Miss Flick said. eve have found
innumerable cases Of girls being
run down in health and deficient
in their studies as the result of
five, and some times four, hours
of sleep.
The girls themselves admit
they can not stand up to dancing
every night and school every day
and yet look at the number
who do not get enough rest"
To prove it, Miss Flick showed
a number of problem cards" each
reading lack of proper Sleep"
Il
OF course, says Miss Flick, the
~ teachers can't actually put
the girls in bed at night and make
them stay there, but the cam
paign is winning cooperation. In
cases where it fails, teachers are
calling in the parents.
1--WE don't want to deny the
girls their dancing and their fun
not at ALL" said Miss Flick. But
we must do something to stop
wild life and late hours or our
girls will be old long before their
time"
Another item in this physical
welfare program is compulsory
gymnasium attendance. Every
high school girl must attend gym
classes unless excused by a ply
sician's certificate.

Pilot Won Greatest Fame
as Member of North
Pole Expedition.

The greatest achievement of Floyd
Bennett, famed flier who died in a
Quebec hospital today, was with
Commander Richard Byrd in their
epochal flight from Spitzbergen,
Norway, to the North Pole and re-
turn. The flight was made in Is
hours, 81 minutes, on May 6, 1926.
For his daring and resouceful-
ness in undertaking the flight, Ben
nett received a gold medal from
the National Geographical Society.
1t was presented by President
Coolidge.
When he and Byrd returned from
their conquest of the North Pole,
Byrd asserted that Bennett should
be given the major share of the
credit, and, more recently, when
Commander Byrd selected his staff
for the South Pole expedition, he
said:
Floyd Bennett, who flew to the
North Pole with me, will be my
first lieutenant. I couldn't go with
out him. I'll always regret that he
couldn't make the transatlantic
trip with me, because of injuries
received from a crash that spring"
Held in High Regard
These expressions Of esteem by
Commander Byrd epitomize the
high regard in which American
aviators held the man who rose
from mechanic in the Navy to one
Of the most daring and successful
pilots in the world.
Bennett first became associated
with Commander Byrd in 1925,
when the latter was placed in
charge of the naval section of Com
mander Donald B. McMillan's Arc
tic expedition.
The two men became firm friends,
despite the gulf that usually sepa-
rates a commissioned officer from
a noncommmissioned It was Byrd'S
admiration for Benefits flying abil-
ity that prompted him to choose
Bennett as his pilot for the North
Pole expedition.
In the fall of 1926, with Lieut..
Bernt Balchan as his navigator,
Bennett made 8,800-mile lecture
tour of the United States under
auspices of the Guggenheim Foun-
dalton for the promotion of aero
nauticS.
Injured; Misses Sea Hop
Commander Byrd selected Ben
nett as his chief pilot for the trans
Atlantic trip last spring, but the
injuries he had received in an &C
cident on test flight, on April 16,
1927, forced him to a hospital. He
still remained there while the flight
was made.
One Of his friends, in telling of
BENEFITS exploits, said of the IA
nous f1ier: "He works steadily
when engaged in any undertaking.
not only steadily, but religiously.
He seldom talked; he just worked"
Bennett was born in 1890 in the
Virgin Hollow section of Lake
George, New York. When Z years
of age, he went to Warrensburg to
live with an uncle. He remained
there until IS, removing to Schenec-
tady, N. Y, to take up motor me-
chanical work. He later operated
a garage at Ticonderoga.
He enlisted in the navy in 1917
after this country had entered the
war.

Senator Niffed by Plans of
Under Secretary Mills
to Speak in State.
STAY OUf,' is DEMAND
But Treasury Chief Fails to
Obey UItimatum After
Heated Interview.
BL RAY TUCKER

WASHINGTON, April IS. $500
Threatening political retaliation
against the administration, Senator
Watson of Indiana has lodged a Wig
orous protest with Secretary Mellon
against plans of the Hoover forces
to send Under Secretary Ogden L.
Mills into Indiana during the pres
ent primary.
This marks the first open clash
between rival candidates and the
group of administration members
openly working for Hoover. The out
come may have a definite effect on
many other members of the official
household known to favor Hoover.
Before leaving Monday for Indi-
ana for a whirlwind campaign last
ing through May 8, Watson is said
to have told friends his protest was
needed. He said he has been as
sured that Mills contemplated
speeches would be cancelled at
Melons order.
Recall Other Differences
But it is understood Mellon did
not even suggest a change of pro-
gram, even though Watson is re-
ported to have used heated lang
uage in the interview.
No definite speaking date for Mills
has been set because of previous en-
gagements, but if he finds it con-
venient he will urge Hoosiers to vote
for Hoover over Watson.
Recently Mills spoke for Hoover
in Ohio.
Watson's anger at the proposed
invasion by men close to the adj
ministration is attributed to the
growing conviction that Hoover will
be the administration favored cam
didate.
The Senator's several differences
with Coolidge and Mellon have been
recalled, including his part in the
1924 investigation into the Internal
Revenue Department, and this line
of attack is hurting him.
Has Fiery Interview
Recent reports from Indiana say
that if the contest develops into a
choice between supporting Coolidge
as against the Watson candidacy,
Watson will lose thousands Vt votes.
The Watson Mellon inter view is
described as fiery by those who
talked with the Senator before he
left for Indiana.
"Mr. Secretary" began Watson,
according to this report, ARE you
straight shooter?"
eyes" answered Mellon in some
surprise, ct am a straight shooter"
"Then what's the idea of letting
Ogden Mills speak against me in
this primary" snapped Watson. do
you call that straight shootingP"
When Mellon professed some dis
agreement with Watson's definition
of straight shooting" the latter is
said to have declared:
Warning Is Hurled
"Well, I want to warn you that
if you are going to fight me on this
basis, I will make my fight along
the same line from now until con-
vention time"
Representative Newton of Mime
sofa, who is arranging speaking
dates, said he had not been in
formed of any change. He said
the original program of calling on
Mills would be carried out, and
that he was only awaiting word
when the under secretary could
leave Washington before making a
definite date.
