That storage trick is not likely
to be pulled again. Senator Ger
aid P. Nye managed to get an
amendment to the tariff bill re-
ducing the time of storage of Can
adian wheat in United States from
three years to ten months. There
has been better than 20 million
bushels of Canadian grain in AM
erican terminals since the 1928
crop, which have helped to clog
transportation and compelled the
Northwest farmer to dump his
wheat on the ground or build a
granary out of trust controlled
lumber or cement. He might, il

farmer will have his money and
also hold his cotton until such time
as the prices goes to it's proper
height, about 20 cents. That being
done, in a burst of generosity, the
board announced it was ready to do
the same for the wheat grower.
But Senator Frazier mournfully re-
marked that it was too late. The
poorest and neediest farmers have
sold their wheat. They had to.
If money comes from the Farm
Board it may be in time to help
the better fixed farmer, he says.
But he did not say, and it might
as well be said here, that loans at
present market price of wheat will
help the grain gambler again and
permit him to hold the wheat un-
til he gets his price. This is the
second time the grain speculator
has been relieved by the Farm
Board. The first time it rushed
out and offered loans to farmers
who would keep their grain on the
farm and off the market and thus
permit the gambler who had stored
his wheat in the terminals to make
his profit without interference.

Reception for DlplOmQtJ

Now IL the time for all good

And so Washington Is. talking
today about the changes" made
by the new hosts at the White
House in the reception yesterday
afternoon to the Diplomatic Corps.
The chief change seems to
have been that the President and
Mrs. Hoover did the passing down
the line while the guests stood
still. n
The latter arrived about $50
O'Clock and were ushePed into the
East Room, where the weary ones
sat until o'clock when the
President and Mrs. Hoover came
in escorted by Col. osmun La.
trobe.
Just before the presidential
arrival. the diplomats had been
arranged in. groups according to
their rank--the dean of the corps,
Sir Esme Howard. British, ambas-
sador. and Lady Isabella Howard
being next to the Secretary of
State and Mrs. Kellogg.
Then the President and Mrs.
Hoover passed along the semi.
circle, pausing for a pleasant ex.
change of words with each group.
The custom heretofore had been
for the diplomats to pass before
the presidential party in the
Blue Room.
After the reception, the guests
went into the state Giining-room

for tea. The President and Mrs.
Hoover came in for few minutes.
Another change was the buffet
tea"-that Is, no ladies' were pre-.
siding over the tea and coffee
urns, but servants attended to
the wishes of the guests. This is
rather an European custom.
Not since the beginning OF the
Wilson Administration has
diplomatic reception similar to
that OF yesterday afternoon been
given. That is. one at which
both the men and ladies Of the
corps were welcomed by new
Chief Executive and First Lady.

the way In which the Diplomatic
Corps is received varies with the
wishes Of the incoming President.

DECENTLY, 305 of the finest
IN beauty salons in the United
States reported this interesting fact
with all our experience, these
experts said-"we cannot distinguish
between hands that never rash dishes
and hands that use Lax in the dishtaN.
-. Evidently, Lux gives real beauty
care. "
These experts observe thousands
of hands and they knowi In their
own words, Lux means beauty
care" right in your own dishpan!
Isn't this a startling idea? Yet
women instnctively know it is true.
Washing their fine things in the gor.
seously sparkling Lux suds,> women
themselves noticed how smooth and
white their, hands looked afterward.
Now they are washing dishes with
Lux to give their hands the same
gentle beauty care-three times day!
The secret is simple =.
Lux is so utterly pure, so delicately
refined by the special process used
in its making, that it protects the
precious beauty oils-the youth oils
-of the skin. Many soaps dry up
these oils, leave the skin parched-
red and drawn looking.
Best of all, this beauty care costs
almost nothing. Lux for all your
dishes costs less than IL day!

Today she is known to many jewellers
on Morningside Heights as the Cat
Lady"
Forty years ago the theater clientele
eagerly awaited her voice as she sang

tele of Morningside eagerly awaits her
voice to echo across the lot at 1920
street as she calls Kitty, kitty, kitty"
And she is just as happy with her cats
as she was with her audience.

Mrs. w. A. Fitzgerald loves cats. cts
q family trait" she explained. For %
years Mrs. Fitzgerald has lived in the
same apartment at 12lst street and
Amsterdam avenue, and for at least 20
of these she has walked up Amster-
dam avenue every afternoon or night
carrying bag filled with salmon and
liver or prepared animal rations to feed
the neighborhood tabbies. And the cats
know her. They wait for her.
The aristocracy of catdom approach
Mrs. Fitzgerald and greet her by rub
bing against her their fur, mayhap
dry-cleaned in the approved fashion of
cats by exclusive feline beauty parlors.

Apparently possessed of an uncanny
knowledge that the Cat Lady will catch
them and let the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals-it has
the city cat-killing concession-put
them out of their misery, they stay at
safe distance and practice their
nightly yowling to gain their benefac-
tors notice.
Feast Occurs Nightly.
Mrs. Fitzgerald opens her bag and
the feast begins. The cats, whether
bearing the marks of gentility or the
signs of a more questionable origin,
eagerly devour the salmon or liver, and
as the Cat Lady starts homeward her
feline admirers usually troop along in
the line of march.
"You should see them come to me"
she said. 'They know me. When 1 go

Kindness Her One Hobby.
Sometimes my friends tell me that
the people that see me with my cats
tap their heads and nod solemnly to
each other. They think my mind is
deranged They don't love cats as l
do, so they can't appreciate it." Mrs.
Fitzgerald thinks this amusing.
There was a time when cats of Morn
ingside had to shift for themselves, and
the poorer members of catdom found
the way to warmth and liver beset with
difficulties. But now some of the
building superintendent leave base
ment window open for the cats to have
access to a coy corner for sleep. On
cold night one can see as many as 10
cats lying on the radiator pipes in
Easements. Such consideration after
years Of passive indifference to cat
troubles required an explanation.
How did 1 get them to let the cats
imp" Mrs. Fitzgerald smiled. "A little
change will accomplish wonders"
The Cat Lady doesn't allow her strays
to eat raw liver. Every night she stirs
around in her kitchen cooking the meat
to feed her army the next day. Her
pantry shelves are lined with cans of
salmon and rations. The stores can
close and she will still feed her cats.
Nothing must interfere with that. AS
she moves about there is always stray
that watches the proceedings greedily.
Her apartment is haven of refuge for
homeless kittens.
Started Career i'm Choir.
Mrs Fitzgerald was born in York
shire, England. Her first experience as
a singer came in church choir in Chi
cago. Then she started in light opera
with Connelly-Barton Patience Co. 1t
was just a jump from the Ford Opera
Co. to w. T. Carlton, where she stayed

York at the old Casino under Heinrich
