SENATE TO SPEED
WORK ON CALENDAR
Meetings at II Am. Instead
of Noon Agreed on as
End NearS.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Earlier sessions of the Senate were
agreed upon yesterday to speed work on
the rapidly congesting legislative ca
lendar as final adjournment on March
nears.
The Senate consented to a proposal
by Senator Curtis of Kansas, the Re-
publican leader, to meet at II O'Clock
hereafter instead of at noon.
Several night sessions also are in
prospect for this week. The Senate al
ready has agreed to have a night ses-
sion Monday to take up the bill for the
reapportionment of the House of Rep
resentatives. Senator Curtis has indi-
Gated he desires another night meeting
soon for consideration of minor bills.
Market Measure Next.
After the Senate disposes of the
Nicaraguan Canal resolution, now pend
ing, it will turn to measure for pub
lie market in the District of Columbia.
After that the Republican steering COM
mittee has slated the eapportionment
bill and proposal for taking of the
1880 census.
The report against the seating of
Senator-elect Ware of Pennsylvania will
not contribute to smoothing the pro-
gram. 1t will be brought up tomor-
row by Senator Reed, Democrat, Mis-
souri,. but there are indications that the
Senate is in mood TO defer the case
and give Ware an opportunity to re-
cover and take advantage of the offer
extended to him by the Senate to pre-
sent his argument personally.
Controversial Bills Feared.
In view of the likelihood of last
minute crowding, leaders are skeptical
as to the possibility of passing any con-
troversial legislation other than the bill
to continue the Federal Radio Commits
sion as an administrative body for an
other year and appropriation bills. A
cloture petition to stop a filibuster
against the radio bill has been cir
culated.
Six of the nine regular appropriations
bills have been completed and sent to
the President.
Those for the Navy and Interior De-
partments are in conference between
members of both branches, and the
only one remaining to be considered is
the second deficiency measure, which
incorporates virtually all the provisions
of the first deficiency. The latter Is
tied up in legislative tangle because
of the provision of $24 100000 add
tional for prohibition enforcement.
Senate supporters of this increase
have displayed little Willingness to
abandon their efforts to obtain more
money for prohibition and a rather
gloomy spectre hovers over the two de-
ficiency supply measures.

North American Newspaper Alliance
(Copyright, 1929. by the North American
Newspaper Allance)
The story of the Prince of Wales
early days is the story of the part his
mother played in his life in those years.
She was the big factor in it. His father,
then Duke of York, counted for little SO
far as his upbringing was concerned.
Briefly, the point of view the then
Duchess of York took in regard to her
position as a mother was this: A
mother must be everything in the life
of her child-from her he must learn
his duty toward God, his parents, his
neighbors and himself. The princes
father accepted this view and left the
upbringing of hsi son entirely in the
hands of the mother.
From her, the prince from his early
days began to learn the immense i'm
portance and dignity of the high posi-
ton to which he had been born. This
she constantly impressed upon his
mind. It is an immensely important
fact in the life of the prince for this
reason; he learned in those early days
a good deal that later he had to un-
learn. and how this affected him will
be told later.
From the princes starting years
everybody about him was made to show
him the greatest Difference and respect.
An old park-keeper in Richmond Park
(where White Lodge, the birthplace of
the prince was situated) one day en-
countered the prince when the lad, at
the age Of 3, was out walking with a
nursery footman.
The park-keeper raised his cap and
passed on. That nearly lost the man
his job. He should have stopped when
he saluted and this was impressed on
the little boy prince as strongly as 1t
was on the keeper.
Rebuke for Mr.. Asquith.
York House was then the London
residence of the Duke and Duchess of
York, and from time to time distin-
guished people were invited there to
meet the prince, who was one day
destined, if he lived, to be King of Eng
land.
Prince Edward (called David in his
own family would stand in the center
of the drawing room at York House
and extend his hand to statesmen, gen.
erals, admirals and others who came to
be presented to him, and who would
bow low over the small hand held out to
them.
A somewhat democratically minded
bishop whose bow was not quite deep
enough to please the princes mother,
suffered a mild reproof. and so also did
the late Lord oxford (then, of course,
Mr.. Asquith) for similar offense.
When the princes brothers and his
sister came into the world it was en-
phasized to them as they grew up that
David, as the eldest born and future
heir to the throne, must be treated by
them with proper Difference.
