TARIFF BILL
CERTAIN
T0k|LL
TIME

The extraordinary session
of the new Seventy-first Con.
gress, which President Hoover
summoned to meet on April
Is, will last all summer long,
it was predicted today by
Senator James E. Watson (R)
of Indiana, Republican leader
of the Senate.
Watson declared the session would
be limited, il Administration leaders
had their way, to farm relief, tariff
reform and the House reapportions
ment. Despite this limited program,
he said, Congress probably will be
In session throughout July and
August, with adjournment about
September 1. The tariff, he ex.
planned, would prevent earlier ad-
jourhment.
Tariff to Take Time
Watson predicted the new tariff
law, which will be submitted to the
House April 20, will reach the
Senate between May / and May S.
It will require six to seven weeks,
he added, for Senate hearings and
committee action on the bill,
IF the tariff bill is reported to
the Senate by June TO-" he con
tinued, 1--WE viii be lucky If it is
enacted by August 1.
THE time Of adjournment will
depend on how active the Senate
becomes"
Watson declared the Administra.
ton leaders would try to arrange an
adjournment by July 1 but he
thought the outlook impossible.
Farm Relief Easier
Watson said there would be no
such trouble with farm relief. He
said he anticipated considerable de-
bate but that most of the members
OF the House and Senate have made
up their minds on farm relief and
that the bill would be sped through
to enactment,

TAX REDUCTION
FOSTERED BY
ARTS CLUB

Endorsement Of the nationwide
movement to reduce the Federal
tax on earned incomes will be
considered at the April meeting Of
the board OF governors Of the
Washington Arts Club.
Full information concerning this
movement, which will reach its
climax at the next regular session
Of Congress, was placed in the
hands of Mrs. M. Aubrey Childrey,
executive secretary OF the club,
today.
The board Of governors IL com.
posed principally of Washington ar
fists, who would be materially bene-
fitted by a slash in the income tax
rate. Artists in all sections OF the
country now are supporting the
movement, and it is felt the indorSe-
ment of the campaign by the Arts
Club will carry considerable weight
with Congress.
A New Angle
A new angle on the conditions
created by the present unjust income
tax rate was revealed today by w.
s. Van Dyke, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
motion picture director, who is stop.
ping in Washington on his way to
Africa, where he is to film Trader
Horn"
IAN unbearable condition has been
caused by the income tax laws,
among the motion picture people in
Hollywood" he declared. During
the past year a force Of 80 investiga.
tors of the Internal Revenue Bureau
was assigned to examine the income
tax returns of those engaged in the
motion picture industry, and the
drastic decisions given In some cases
have been ruinouS to many ind1-
viduals.
Works Hardship
"The Government seems to forget
that the salaries of motion picture
workers may be wiped out over
night by a sudden cessation OF
public interest in any individual.
"a man may earn $4,000 a week
but for only two weeks. The rest
of the year may be full of pres
poets. but financially unproductive.
But the income tax collectors say
they have no choice but to carry
out the letter of the law. Conse-
quently, a great deal of suffering
is inflicted upon the people Of the
motion picture industry"

Hundreds OF girls have been%
nominated for the honor Of being
the Typical American Girl. Will
the Typical Washington Girl, who
is to be selected at the end of
the local quest, be the Typical
American Girl? That has been
left entirely up to the national
judges.
A committee of local judges will
select the Typical Washington
Girl. That lucky girl will receive
trip to New York, at the call of
Smart Set. She may be chosen
as the Typical American Girl from
among the other regional winners.
She may also be among the girls
whose portraits are to be painted
by the most famous American
artists.
All girls whose names are en-
tered in the quest have the same
chance. Beauty is not all the
Typical Amedican Girl possesses by
any means. She is endowed with
character, brains, love of life, and
other characteristics that set the
American girl apart from her sisters
all over the world.
Milton Fairchild. of the Character
Education Institution of the U. 8
A said that the American girl
should be judged on character. A
list of attributes was submitted by
Fairchild to back up his contention
Among the characteristics that he
set forth for the Typical American
Girl are honesty, sincerity, truthful
ness, cooperation, kindness, affec-
ton, will-power, poise and self-con.
troll.
Other characteristics that should
also be incorporated in the Typical
American Girl, Fairchild said are
muscular control, skill, executive
ability, inventive, constructive, dis.
cernment, thinking, purpose. deter
mination and justice. The Typical
American Girl, he said, should have
high percentage in these and sew.
eral other characteristics.
The whereabouts of the Typical
American Girl at the. present time
is not known. Perhaps she is out
in the garden picking the first
spring flowers to decorate her little
bungalow; perhaps on the links
getting in low score for an early
morning round; perhaps she is at
her office typing away at the
monthly accounts. Until the close
of the Quest no one will known
where the Typical American Girl
is. Then she will emerge from her
hiding place and be presented to
the world of admirers who have
been waiting for her so long.
A list Of the rules of the Quest
are printed below. Follow these
and send in the name of the Typ
ical American Girl candidate to the
Quest Editor of The Washington
Times. Perhaps your candidate will
be the one selected. Whether you
think so or not, If you believe she
possesses the characteristics that
make up the American girl of to-
day. it ought to be your pleasure
to nominate her for the honor.
Send in her nomination now.
