She has played lung motor to bal

Mother Runs Business
From the time Ellen quit inhaling
a nursing bottle she began exhaling
balloon air. Her balloon career be-
gan when her mother, Mrs Visa
Ross, took charge of a balloon bust
ness.
There's no one can beat Ellen
blowing balloons" says Mrs. Ross as
she explains how it takes three per-
sons working double-t time tying the
balloon to keep up with Ellen on a
good day
On one occasion, Ellen went to a
picnic at Ft. Wayne and entered a
balloon blowing contest. Adults
were entered. She blew herself to
winning tickets on all the rides in
the park and free meals.
At School 2 she is known as the

planned the procedure thus: ITO
be a good balloon blower, you must
never, never, hold the balloon with
your teeth. Just use your lips and
tongue-and blow evenly. And don't
get scared of 'em when they pop
and break-there's no sense in that,
she admonished.
Ellen's mother says that like all
artists, she is temperamental
Just let someone go to bother
ing her while she's blowing up an
order for some club-and she blows
up. The balloons she turns out Will
be all shapes, sizes, and lengths,

nurse, a typist, or to manage the

SUMMER REST
FOR CONGRESS
IS IN DOUBT
Democrats Refuse to Agree
on Definite Fall Date for
Tariff Vote.
B YPAUL Il. MALLON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, June 10.-Hopes
for a congressional recess during
the hot summer months grew dim
mer today when senate Democrats
in party conference decided not to
follow the program of legislation
outlined by administration leaders.
While they agreed to cooperate
for early votes on farm relief, ma
tional origins repeal and tariff re-
vision, they declined to agree to fix
ing time in the fall for Lassage of
a tariff bill.
This action disrupts the entire
program for a recess next Saturday
and may keep congress in session
indefinitely unless some compromise
is arranged. Full cooperation of
Democrats was necessary for the
proposed agreement.
Change of Front
The decision of the minority rep
resentS a change of front from the
attitude previously taken by its
leaders, who privately agreed to the
proposed summer recess and the fix
ing of definite date for a final
vote.
Administration leaders in con-
greSS first worked out the agreement
with the minority leaders and took
it to President Herbert Hoover. Hoo
yer said he was agreeable to the re-
cess is congress would first pass the
farm relief bill and then set a date
in the fall for a final tariff vote.
Otherwise, he would oppose the re-
cess. 1t was then decided Nov. l
would be fixed as the date for the
final tariff vote.
