SENATE, HOUSE
FACE CLASH

The growing Jeaicusy between
Senate and House sometimes causes
amusement ana at other times
alarm. but It IL generally agreed
that the Swo branches Of Congress
are swinging further apart.
One veteran legislator declares
that the primary reason is that
the House ia emerging from an
inferiority complex.
InfariOrity Complex
untiI the last session the House
apparently had steadily been losing
power and Influence in the shaping
Of the nations laws. The popular
branch of the Congress- rekained
some OF it's prestige when II stood
with President Hoover and won q
victory in the farm bill fight.
The rise IN the power Of the SEN
ate has been attributed largely to
the prominence given that body in
the League oe Nations, fight and
other disputes over treaties and
nominations. -.
Reassert Claims
Speaker Nicholas Longworth and
the House leaders have tread rather
cautiously. their first concern 4
parently being TO keep the House
. harmonious body and let the SEN
ate alone. Within the last year,
however. Speaker LongWorth and
other leaders have become more out.
spoken in their differences with the
Senate.
some Of the House members have
begun TO reassart ali old claim that
the House Is the higher legislative
body, because It - supposedly the
direct representative Of the people,
and the Senate IN forbidden to origi.
nate bills levying taxes or appropri.
,ating money.

k"Another Woman"
But the man hates dancing and
thetheater bores him to death. He
can't bear parties and he likes to
read aloud from the books he Is
reading, and the books he reads
weigh a ton apiece more or less,
and they are all about Ancient
Man or Whittier Are We Drifting.
The woman has to dance-she iusJ
has to dance or die. And she loves
to tie her head in a scarlet hand
kerchief and put curtain rings III
her ears and snatch the silver tray
off the dining room sideboard and
do a Salome-just like that!
And she loves the theatre and IS
a perfect fiend for parties-beach
parties with mussels steaming in a
big pot and somebody singing:
"Oh, amt you lovin' that sweet
abalone.'
That sweet salt abalone- w-e-el-lf
But the man and the woman cam
not endure each other n hour
longer, so she is going n way and
he's going the other-she with her
black hair and her black eyes ard
ner batik smocks and he with griz-
zled hair and his tired blue eyes
and his cynical smile.
You can't blame them very much
for that, can you?
But why on earth do they spend
week-endS together-right afte.
their divorce?
Can You figure it out? I can't.
