TIMELY WORDS
ON PROPER
ETIQUETTE
DEAR MRS. BEEcKMAN:

OEAkS Mfb0. 6EG(EAh1fANs
Now that the Christmas sea-
son is, rolling around I would
like to ask you some questions
In regard to Christmas cards.
4. This IS my third season
at health resort. and I have
received many gifts each
Christmas. Many Of these gifts
come from people whom I have
never met, and many I do not
even know by sight. Many
other people. Just acquaint-
anceS, remember me, too. OF
course, / always acknowledge
receipts Of the gifts. However,
this Is what puzzles me. Should
I send them cards this year?
I would not want To do 50 IL It
would make people think ! am
expecting gifts again this year.
Last Christmas I sent them
al cards regardless Of whether
] knew them or not. It seems
to me that It would only be
proper In view Of. the fact that
they remembered me. What
have you 10 say In regard to
this matter? M. .. wv.
Unless it would tire you too
much or be IN any way 3 de-
terrent to your health and recu-
peration, / suggest that you
write notes to every one Of
these kind friends, whether or
not you know them. Very
short notes, IL you wish. But
very real ones, sincere and
0vegflowing with the Spirit that
is 30 much 4 part of your fine
letter to me. The notes need
be only q sentence or two or
three in length, but they can
capture so much mere Soul
than can q Christmas card. II
you write q few each day, even
making them all the same
wording, perhaps the effort
would not be so tiring.

FARLEY ON SHIP
SINKING SOON
u. S., Canada Also to Settle
Issues On 1924 Anti-Rum
Smuggling Treaty

WASHINGTON, April S.-tP)-
Formal representations on the sink
ing of the rum-runner I'm Alone
by a patrol boat in the Gulf OF
Mexico have been received by the
Canadian legation for presentation
to the state department. Except for
announcement by the Canadian
prime minister, Mckenzie King,
that the sinking of the vessel. OF
Canadian registry, would be the
subject Of formal discussions be-
tween the American and Canadian
governments, both Ottawa and the
legation have been reticent regard
ing the note.
Unofficial views of the matter,
however, are to the effect that the
Canadians are more interested in
the points at issue between the two
governments over the anti-rum
smuggling treaty of 1924 between
the United States and Great Brit
ain-which binds Canada as a do
minion of the British common
wealth-than they are over the
actual sinking.
On two previous occasions when
Canadian vessels were seized by
coast guard vessels for rum-run-
ming, the Canadian government in
formally made known it was not in
sympathy with certain interpreta-
tons placed by the Americans on
points in the 1924 treaty under
which the ships were seized.

MOODY FEARS
LEGISLATORS
Opposition to Governors
Program Looms z Weeks
From Session Opening
BY r.. w. BARR
Associated Press Staff Writer

AUSTIN, April 8.-(P-There is
considerable speculation around the
capitol among legislators here as
members Of the house appropria-
tons committee and others who
drop in on business as to what the
special session will accomplish in
addition to passing money bills.
That Gov. Moody has misgivings
as to the attitude of the law
makers toward his program, when
they return two weeks from today,
is indicated by his disposition to
withhold the appropriation bills
until after action has been taken
on his civil service, penitentiary
concentration and other proposals.
The appropriation bills will be
ready for submission Immediately
upon converting Of the legislature.
The senate bills have been ready
since early in the regular session,
and the house committee is now
working on its measures. The
senate is inclined to adopt the
board of control budget. while the
house is whiting the boards
recommendations. The differences
probably will necessitate a free
conference committee.
The governor is anxious to sub
NIT a civil service bill that will
meet with the approval of the law
makers as well as a penitentiary
concentration plan. The civil SER
vice bill was defeated by the house
during the regular session and the
pen1tentiary reorganization mea-
sure was lost in free conference.
Prevalent opinion is the civil
service bill will never pass the SEN
ate, even though it should get
through the house. Gov. Moody is
especially anxious to place state
employees under the merit system
and expressed keen disappointment
when the regular session killed his
bill.
Regulation of public utilities and
fixing priority rights Of takers of
water from the public streams are
two important subjects which are
reasonably certain to be presented.
There seems to be a feeling the
special session will not be in the
mood to do much legislating, other
than financing the highway con-
structlon program by levying a
gasoline tax and fixing the regula-
ton fees, and providing for the
support Of the judiciary, eleemosy-
nary institutions and departments
Of government.
