Consideration of
Flood Control Bill
Is Deferred TODAY

Washington, April 20-R)-With.
out a vote and with but little de-
bate the House today temporarily
deferred consideration of the senate
flood control bill after Representa-
tive T'ilson of Connecticut, the Re-
publican floor leader, had explained
that this was desired to enable a
Study" Of the measure.
This unusual procedure - the
shunting aside of major piece Of
legislation--was resorted to SO that
time could be had to adjust diff
ferences between advocates of the
bill as it passed the senate and
President Coolidge. Tilson did not
tell the house when consideration of
the flood bill was to be resumed but
it was thought likely that the post
ponement will continue until COM
promise conversations have been
completed.

year in the form of a dinner, which
was attended by over so people. Ev.

banquet hall where they crossed a
cieverly constructed drawbridge in
to the castle. The room was light.
ed entirely by candles, and Spanisl,
shawls and tapestries decorated the
walls and furniture. The place,

the center of each of the tables was
another castle. Instead of individ.

the high school girls under the di-
reetion of Miss Gladys Teeple, home

with songs, led by Norma Young, as
sisted by Evelyn Pope, in which
both the mothers and girls took
part.
