LANBASTS
V|LL|F|ERS Of
WASHINGTON

Critics of George Washington
were assailed by Representative
James NJ. Beck Rl of Pennsyl'
vania. in delivering a Washington s
Birthday address to the House to-
day.
"A few sapient critics. not worthy
to unite the latchets of his shoes,
have belittIed Washington's intel
lectual powers" said Beck.
An American professor, speak.
ing at Oxford some years ago, said
that Washington was "a man of
few natural gifts, self-educated and
somewhat slow-witted.'
Such was not the Judgment of
those who worked with him. JEFF
ferson spoke of his intellect as
great and powerful, and Patrick
Henry said that of all the men,
bers of the First Continental Con.
gress. Washington was foremost
for solid information and sound
Judgment -
Beck pictured Washington as the
first great foe of bureaucracy. and
a believer in the soundness of the
judgment of the people.
20 wise old counsellor" he said
referring to Washington's fear OF
over-centralization in government
How time has verified his warn
ings in the incessant multiplication
of Federal bureaus to DESTROY the
rights of States" Beck continued.
He also pictured Washington as
the first great advocate of an in
land waterways system, and said
that he. more than any other. saw
that the Union would be preserved
through economic interest.

SENATE PLANS
IN WIND
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON

BY WILLIAM n. HUIChINSoN
Four baby filibusters were being
rursed along in the Senate today
to confuse the Administrations pro.
gram and threaten the orderly con-
duct of the closing sessions next
week.
The vote blocking activities. which
may result in death to all the
measures involved, were aimed
against the Houses rea portionment
bill, the Edge resolution for
Nicaraguan canal survey, the Dill
resolution extending the life of the
Federal Radio Commission for an
other year and the second deficiency
appropriation bill, much needed to
pay the Government overdue bills.
Fiscal Bill i'm JAIN
The second deficiency bill faced
the stiffest opposition, because 1t
failed to include the $4,000, 900 dry
appropriation previously added by the
Senate to the first deficiency bill.
The latter measure apparently has
been killed in conference because
the House conferees refused to
allow a direct vote in the House on
the dry fund.
Senator Carter Glass DD of Vir-
ginia, announced he would. lead a
filibuster against the second de-
ficiency bill unless the House first
voted on the $24, 900 900 dry fund.
If this bill should be defeated by
a filibuster, it probably would
cripple some of the Government de-
partments between the inaugura.
ton and the start of the next fiscal
year on July l.
Southern Senators meanwhile ap-
peared to be organizing a filibuseer
against the reapportionment bill
which would cut down the mem
| ber~hip in some of their States
while increasing it in Michigan, Cal
| ifornia, Ohio and few other States
| Senator Dill D.) of Washington
was fighting the Edge resolution
while Senator Copeland Cd of New
! York, threatened one-man tillbus
ter against extending the life ol
| the radio commission.
! A fifth filibuster against the naval
appropriation bill apparently ended
when the Senate adopted an agree
| ment limiting debate after p. M
today. Senator Blaine (R) of Wis
consin and Senator King CD OF
| Utah led opposition to this bill, be-
| cause they felt the $i2,S7O,O00 con.
struction appropriation was SO
worded it would allow for the build
ing of 10 cruis rs within the next 16
months.
| A minor amendment, changing the
language, partly relieved their OBJ
| 1ections and the agreement limiting
debate followed.
Senator King, however. warned
the Senate that enactment of the
naval appropria ton bill, totalins
about $500. 900, 900, would result in a
! Treasury deficit at the end of the
present fiscal year-June 30.
He predicted the Congress would
have to consider an increase in taxes
when 1t meets in special session next
| spring.
There were rumorS current in the
| Senate that some of the filibustering
| tactics, apparently aimed at legis-
| latiGn, were in reality directed
against the confirmation of ex-Sen-
ator Irvine L. Lenroot (R0 of Wis
consin as A member of the United
| States Court of Customs Appeals.
! The Lenroot nomination has been
considered for several days by a
judiciary subcommittee, and a report
| proba hlv will he made to the full
committee next Monday. That would
leave six DAYS in which to secure
his confirmation.

Dam Disasters Blamed
On Geological Faults

NEW YORK. Feb. y U.N.S.I-
Blame for dam disasters was laid to
geological conditions rather than to
faulty design at symposium of
geologfsts today at the annual meet
ing of the American Institute of
Mining and Metallurgical Engineers.
L. g. Glenn, professor of geology
at Vanderbilt University, held that
the failure of dams is usually due to
ignorance of the geological nature
of the materials at the dam site. He
urged State regulations requiring A
thorough geological examination pre-
liminary to any important dam con
struction.

A MAO RUSH FOR
Wiz GA Al-N

Of his wife's anxiety to prepare appetite
ing dishes and certainly growing chill
dren are too young to appreciate the
mothers efforts to give them the
nourishing food SO necessary to their
health.
Children are frequently "pickier"
than their elders. Not all small chill
dren are hardy eaters and it requires
argument sometimes to compel them
to properly eat the food set before them.
They are inclined to favor sweets rather
than more substantial foods.
Then, too, they have the MUNICH
ing habit, the desire to eat between
meals. There Is often q mad rush for
the pantry after school. Bread and
jam tempt them to eat too much.
Fruits, however, are always good for
them and wise mother viii have q
variety on hand. At present she will
md an abundance Of fruit in the
stores and shops.
Although the buying over Thanks
giving Is heavy there is always some
thing to be had the day after. The
prices in practically every line remain
about the same.
Strawberries may be had at a price
rather out of reach of the average con-
sumner. They are selling for SIPS a
quart. Apples of the cooking variety,

BY SALLY MONROE.

Some women seem to think that the
only thing to do with leftover fish is
to feed it to the cat or throw it away.
In reality, there are many delicious
dishes to be prepared with leftover
fish. It goes without saying that the
fish must be sweet and fresh, but 1t is
sure to be that the second day II it is
1T to eat the first day.
Here are some suggestions for pre-
pairing fish left-overs. The f1rst makes
use Of any sort Of good cooked fish.
Dreamed flSh-Look over cold nsh, re-
moving skin and bones and breaking
into small flakes. Season with salt and
pepper and turn into shallow baking
dish. Cover with white sauce and sprin-
kle with flne bread crumbs and butter
and put into the oven to brown.
The next Is combination Of left
over fish and macaroni.
Scalloped fish and macaroni-MiX to-
gether one cup cold cooked fish pulled
to small pieces, half a cup Of canned
tomato (Strained), one cup white sauce,
one cup cold cooked macaroni cut IN
small pieces, and salt and pepper 70
taste. Cover and bake for half an hour
and then brown without the cover.
Then comes a recipe combining pota-
toes with cooked fiSh.
Dreamed Goldfish and potatoes-F'or q
cup and a half Of faxed cooked fish you
will need q cup and half of diced cold
boiled potatoes. Sprinkle over f1Sh and
potatoes q tablespoon and a half Of -four
and put fish and potatoes In the top Of
double boiler with milk to cover. Sea-
son with salt and pepper and cook for
about half an hour.
The following fish pudding Is the
mainstay for luncheon and is really de-
licious served with good lettuce OF
endive salad.
Fish pudding-Shred any cold fish
add one ounce of butter and let it stand
over a low fire till the fish is warmed
through. Soak bread in milk until soft
then beat it up finely with two eggs
salt and cayenne. Mix, put in CREASED
baking dish and bake in the oven for 80
minutes.
Fish au gratin is equally nourishinl
and delicious.
Fish au gratin-Three pounds fish

crumbs. two tablespoons butter, one
