Funny. but most Of the money

The thought Of a man going to
a beauty parlor has the sanne sort
-of nauseating effect on me as

difference between the sexes, or
God would not have bothered to
make two OF them!

a rolling.pin contest for wives, with
a mans head as the target. "But
what IS a rolling pin?" asks the

Those were the. REAL thrills,

PRESIDENT AT DESK
AFTER CAMP REST
Rain Prevents Walks Over
Picturesque Mountain
Trails in Virginia.

President Hoover was back at his
desk this morning, apparently will rest
ed after his brief outing at his camp
in the Virginia Mountains. The steady
downpour of rain yesterday somewhat
detracted from the pleasure of the
President. and his guests, making 1t i'm
possible for them to enjoy walks over
the picturesque mountain trails and
along the banks of the streams. but
Mr.. Hoover was afforded a splendid and
much needed rest.
The President made no business en-
gagements today. He occupied himself
with an accumulation OF business and
the drafting Of the speech he is to de-
liver here ArmiStice day. Despite the
drizzle early this morning, the President
and the members OF his So-called medi-
cine ball cabinet INDUCED in their
customary Commute workout in the
rear grounds of the White House.
1t was the Presidents intention when
he left Washington Saturday afternoon
for his mountain retreat not to return
to the White House until some time
during the forenoon today. The stormy
weather however, prompted him to re-
turn last night. The caravan of auto
mobiles left the camp at o'clock YES
terday afternoon. The rains made
travelling down the mountain trail lead
ing to the main highway a trife pre-
carious. At least it was necessary to
move slowly and exercise great caution.
Because of detour it was necessary for
the party to return by the way of Fred
ericksburg, arriving at the White House
shortly after 8 o'clock.

TARIFF COALITION
GETS FREE HAND
Regulars Hope Move Will
Bring Final Vote Within
Special Session.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Senates Democratic-In depend-
ent Republican coalition today was
given a free hand with the tariff bill
by administration leaders as last hope
of reaching a final vote on the meas
ure without encroaching materially
upon the time of the regular session, to
convene four weeks hence.
Facing a task of admitted difficulty,
coalition leaders we've, nevertheless,
confident that this objective would be
attained and that the result of the new
arrangement would be. in the words of
Harrison of Mississippi Democrat, "a
better bill" than that passed by the
House and "a far better bill" than that
recommended by the Senate finance
committee"
Pin Hopes on Conference.
The leaders of the administration
group, which has been defeated re-
peatedly by the coalition, reached a
decision to let the alliance have its
way with the bill after many efforts
to expedite action had failed and Presi-
dent Hoover had called for enactment
OF the measure before the close of the
special session. They are hopeful not
only OF obtaining an early result, but
also that provisions which they might
consider Objectionable may be elimi-
mated in the necessary conferences with
Representatives of the House.
In commenting upon the new ar
rangement, Harrison said that with
those who framed the bill having run
up the white flag, 1t ought to be easier
for those OF us who are opposed to
many features of the bill to present
and press to early completion our sug-
geStions for revision"
The Democrats, he said. are attempt
ing to work out in conferences among
themselves plans which will avoid UNI
necessary debate and hasten a final
vote.
BOrah Expects Action.
Borah of Idaho, a spokesman for the
independent Republicans. again ex-
pressed his confidence that the bill
can be disposed of before the close of
the extraordinary session. He said that
there was evident in the Senate "a
manifest disposition" to get it out of the
way.

FINANCE COMPANY
WINS COURT FIGHT
Is Entitled to Return of Car
Seized With Driver on Rum
Charge.

The General Motors Acceptance
Corporation is entitled to the surrender
to it of an automobile on which it had
a conditional sale contract and which
was seized following the arrest of John
M. Byroad on q liquor charge. The
District Court OF Appeals so held to-
day in an opinion by Chief Justice
Martin reversing the action of Police
Court where it was held that the
corporation had been negligent in its
investigation of the proposed purchaser
The court reviews the course pursued
by the local agent making the sale in
having the applicant fill out a state
ment describing himself and giving
references. This statement was turned
over to mercantile agency for in
veStigation and report, and nothing on
that report showed that Byroad had
any intention of using the car for IL
legal purposes. Prohibition agents
found conviction of liquor violation in
Cumberland, Md, about seven years
ago, and a conviction of one of the
references four years later, but the con-
viction of Byroad had escaped the
mercantile agency in its inquiry and no
lack of diligence is chargeable to the
automobile company holding the lien,
the court concludes.
