him was too much for a few bosses
to counterfeit.
However, Mr.. Coolidge failed to
use this advantage as a weapon
against the bosses when they threw
sand in his administrations bear
ingS later on. There are indica-
tions that Mr.. Hoover means to do
so.
He can do it most conveniently
through the house Of rn~~nennta-
tives.
Representatives mae
pendent as senators. 10 a senator,
his next election day looks a long
distance off. "A mere two-year rep
resentatiVe always can see electoral
breakers ahead. He is not SO ready
to defy an administration and a
good deal reader to appreciate its
help.
Many are the things an admins
tration can do to make a repre-
sentative solid in his district.
For instance, it can act on his
advice in the matter of appoint
ments. and enable him to build up
a strong machine-useful to hia7
and the administration, too. To be
sure, theoretically, the senate can
reject these appointments, but in
actual practice it can reject one
only in a long time, or it stirs up
a worse row than the senators
themselves can afford.
1t IS a new idea-a combination
between the administration and the
house of representatives against the
senate, all inside the same party;
and it may give the senators more
to worry about than ever they have
had to harass them under thu
Coolidge regime.
The thought is an unsetting one
to the senators who linger in Wash
ington, awaiting the extra session.
They hardly know whether to
fight or compromise.
incidentally, note the training OF
the mining engineer coming to the
surface in MI. Hoover. When yoJ
encounter a rock too big to handle

PRESIDENT MAY CULTIVATE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

En- lllqsg N
VW5EEay
By CHARLES P. STEWART

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Sen-
ators are g~reen-eyed with jealousy
at the hint that President Hoover's
relations with the representatives
chamber may be closer than with
the upper house Of congress.
Most presidents have regarded
the senators as the legislators whom
it best paid them to cultivate.
There are sound reasons for this
view.
The senate can make life harder
for the president than the house Of
representatives can.
Presidential appointments are not
valid until the senate says so.
Treaties made by The president re-
ouire the senate's o. K. The White
House has to ask no such favorS
Of the representatives.
That President Hoover considers
the representatives friendship
worth more to him than the SEN
ators' is by no mean explicitly an
nounced and it never will be.
Nevertheless, the impression pre-
walls on Capitol Hill that that is
the way Mr.. Hoover feels about 1t.
Maybe he has learned something
from Mr.. Coolidge's experience.
His own party leaders never
wanted MI. Coolidge for president
MI. Hoover also was far from be-
ing their choice.
The party's biggest leaders are
mainly in the senate. Mr.. Cool
idge could have placated them by
giving them their own way. but he
never did, and they fought him
covertly to the end. They were
still turning down his appointments
during his last week in office.
MI. Hoover probably foresees
trouble similar to Mr.. Coolidge's
but perhaps he is planning to COM
bat it more vigorously.
AS was true Of Mr.. Coolidge, Mr.
Hoover was nominated and elected
because the popular demand 10

Willowy Window Wheatcakes Wielder, as she tapped
twelve more. We'll, it's all the same with me. When
l toss one OF these things in the air it comes down
under the new crowd the same as it would come down
under Mr.. Childs.
i never met MI. Childs, personally, as far as 1
know, but I always figured I knew him, and it's tough
to think that he has no more to do with Chllds res
taurants now than Lydia Pinkham has to do with
vegetable compounds or the Smith brothers have to
do with the cough drop business After forty years
with the company he must have got pretty attached
to it. In that time he must have got to know more
about Soft-boiled eggs than any man in America.
The old boy was sure a big influence on the
eating habits Of the nation. He did more to put over
hot buttercakes in a big way than anybody in his
tory; you gotta hand it to him for that. Any man
that could get people to eat hot buttercakes in their
RICH minds was a big man. You gotta give him
credit, too, as an amusement man. He gave just as
many people entertainment as Barnum. Huh? If

an amusement what Is?
Il dunno this MI. Barber, who is head Of the new
bunch in control. All I know is that he is a lawyer
and 1 hope they don't let him monkey with the
kitchen. The one big bet of the Childs restaurants Is
simple dishes. Can you imagine what a lawyer would
do to EN-? I see where Mr.. Childs wants the name
dropped off the windows, but 7 hope they don't do it,
and put Mr.. BARRIERS name on, as a lot Of people
would be coming in for shaves and haircutS.
Anyhow, I'm just trusting to luck and not wor-
rying'. All I hope is that they don't go in for more
styles Of architecture. Whenever I get shifted from
one restaurant to another I find it is a jump from
an Italian villa to a Chinese pagoda or Spanish patio
or vice versa, and it's all very confusing. In the old
white tiled restaurants a girl knew whether she fitted

NEW YORK, March 19.-You
might have observed the report re-
Gently that R. r. Reilly created
the new paper milk bottle now
used by a big firm. Mr.. Reilly, so
the story goes, worked on the idea
for many years, threatening to do
away with the regular milk bot
ties because at one time his SUM
bers were disturbed by irritable
neighborS who hurled them at
meowing cats in the yard.
1t appears that MI. Reilly once
had the toothache for a week. Va
riouS pain reliefs failed him, and
just when he fell into unconscious
ness from sheer exhaustion some
one would arouse him by crashing
a milk bottle to shoe the cats. 1t
was then that he determined some
day there would be nothing but
paper milk bottles. He was a poor
man when he started working on
the plan and today he is rich.
He is plotting another revela-
ton, and the company he heads is
taking little chance Of losing his
valuable cooperation, having in
sured him a week ago for a paltry
$500, 1000.

BILL BEING DRAFTED TO R-EORGANIZE
DEPARTMENTS
BY WILLIAM WILLIAMSON, Jr.

Congressman From South Dakota.
civilian williamson, Jr, was born in Mahas-
ka county, Iowa, October 7, 1875. He is a gradu-
ate of South Dakota. With his brother he found
ed two weekly newspapers In 1903 and 1904 and
a hardware company in 1906. From 1905 to 1911
he was states attorney in South Dakota, then
circuit judge of the Eleventh judicial district
until 1921. He was a delegate to the republican
national convention in 1912. He has been a men,
Der Of congress from the Third South Dakota
district since 1920.
The first step in the proposed reorganization OF
the departments and bureaus of the federal govern
ment may be taken az the extra session Of the Sev-
e~nty-first congress, to be convened April Is.
I expect to spend my entire time on reorganiza-
ton problems, and if there is to be an early r~eorgani-
cation of the executive departments it will be neces-
Sary to set up the committee for functioning during
the coming extra session. The committee has par
ticularly in mind for the extra session the bill to con-
solidate the activities relating to veterans under one
jurisdiction, including the veterans bureau, the bu-
reau of pensions and the branch national homes for
disabled volunteer soldiers.
I personally think that the prohibition service
ought to be transferred to the department of justice
The department Of justice is charged with the en-
forcement Of law and I do not think-speaking for
myself alone and not for the committee-that prohi-
bltlon enforcement should be treated any different
than any other enforcement of law.
If there is to be early reorganization of the execu-
tive departments of the g%overnmnt, it will be neces-
sary to organize this committee in the committee
set-up Of the extra session. I am expecting to have
a bill regarding the consolidation of the veterans ac-
tivitieS ready for consideration at the extra session
My present plan is to consolidate all these activities
in the veterans bureau.
Other matters, to be taken up at the regular ses-
sion of congress next December, will be the further
consideration of the ACCESSIBILITY of consolidating the
engineering activities of the executive branch of the
government.

CITY PERSONNEL
BOARD TALKED
Hint Slack omits Civil
Service Provision.

Rules for the establishment of
personnel department to aid city
officials in selecting new employees
we're considered today by the city
cabinet.
Mayor L. l1rt Slack personally
worked over" the regulations for
civil service in all departments
which was submitted by a commit
tee appointed several months ago
when city council unanimously
demanded establishment of a
merit system for all city depart
mentS.
Stacks plan for a personnel de-
partment differs from the original
proposal of council in that Slack is
understood to have omitted pro-
vision for civil service supervision
of promotions and demotions. The
The examinations will be given to
applicants by a board of three to
be named by the mayor and an
eligibility list established for the
various departments.
"Such a plan will be great deal
of help to the city boards in choos-
ing new employees. But I would not
have any more confidence in a per-
sonnet board than I have in the
safety board for instance" Slack
said.
The mayor plans to give boards
and department heads free
hand in recommending appoint
mentS and promotions.
Fathered by John F, White,
councilman, who formerly served as
a police civil service commissioner
under the Duvall administration,
council adopted a resolution de-
manding that the mayor establish
a civil service system, particularly in
the police and fire departments.
The Chamber of Commerce and
civic organizations have Endorsed
the merit plan.
