House Insists on Stand Against Three Senate Riders-Watson Pre- diets Quick Enact ment of Legislation In Two Fields.
B0rah Blocks Immediate Consideration of Farm Board Fund-Wants to Know What Money Is to Be Used for by Off, cials.

Washington, Dec. 19 CT9 - The $116,000,000 emergency relief bill was sent back to conference today when the house insisted upon it's stand against three senate amend ments.
 Nevertheless quick enactment of the emergency relief program was predicted by Senator Watson. the republican leader, as congress took up the compromise $45,0O0,O00 drought bill and moved to break the deadlock on the S116,00O,000 public works fund.
 Hopes to See Action Watson was hopeful that three bills involving a total of S311,00O,- 900 would get through the legisla- | tive grind even before night fall.
 The S150, 0,000,0OO appropriation for | the farm board was reported to the senate at the outset today, already approved by the house. Considera- tion in the senate was deferred temporarily.
 Awaiting formal vote by the [ senate leaders sought to iron out the | breach in their ranks over these amendments in the interests Of speeding the bill to the White House. | Senator Borah, republican, Idaho, blocked immediate consideration Of the farm board fund.
 | Wants to Know Facts Borah said ne wanted Ito know what the farm board intends to do with this appropria ton and what it has done with the other S250, 100000 for so far as I can see it has not benefited the farmer at all" He did not say he would oppose the appro- priation, which Chairman Legge ask ed as an emergency proposition.
 The senate amendments on the public works bill to which the house disagreed, returning the measure once more to conference, included those of Black of Alabama and George Of Georgia to make certain road funds available for immediate use in their states, and of Couzens of Michigan requiring local labor to be used on the projects to be built.
 The house group refused to agree to the senate relief bill amendment to turn over appropriated sums to Georgia and Alabama for improve ment of flood damaged roads on a deferred payment plan, and to the provision requiring employment Of local labor on public works projects.
 Chairman Jones. of the senate conferees, said he would report the disagreement to the senate today for instructions.

Farmer and Hunter, Believed Wealthy, Apparently Slain
 After Violent Struggle
BODY BULLET RIDDLED;
 THEFT THEORY ADVANCED
!. T. Howe, Said to be Prominent in New York and Elm City, Had Lived Life of Trapper for 12
 Years-Victim May Have Been
 Shot Through Whdow-Evidence Found That He Fired at Intruder

Norfolk, Va, Dec. 19 The bullet riddled body of J. T. Howe, 50-year- old farmer and hunter, was found today by friends visiting his home on the Norfolk Virginia Beach high way. The body was lying in a big pool of blood and the room showed evidences of a terrific struggle.
 Howe, a graduate of Harvard uni versity and said to be prominent in New York and New Haven, Conn, was to have left tomorrow to spend Christmas in New Haven with a sis ter, Mrs. J. NJ. Woods. Friends here visited the home today to bid him goodbye and discovered the body.
 Riddled With Bullets
 His abdomen had been riddled with bullets fired from a gun at close range.
 County authorities were immedi- ately informed. Officers expressed the opinion that robbery was the motive for the staying.
 After an investigation officers said Howe had been struck by buckshot fired from shotgun through a window. Although badly wounded, the officers believed Howe fired a pistol several times at his as- sailant, the bullets being found i'm bedded in the wall near the window. They also expressed the opinion that the assailant entered and clubbed the wounded man over the head.
 C. H. Fentress, in charge of the Investigation for the country, said he had a definite clue and expected an arrest during the day.
 Lived Quiet Life
 Howe came here about F years ago and began living the quiet life of a trapper and farmer. Although he bore the reputation Of possessing wealth, he spent his time either in tending his traps, working on his farm or studying in his home.
 Friends visited last night by Howe, said he left for his home about 10 o'clock. County officers expressed the opinion that an intruder had en- tered his home while Howe was away and was surprised when he returned.
 The Howe home was near the lit- tle station of Greenwich.

A Protest Against Fancy-WOrk
By Elsie Robinson

MRS. ED WILKINS has been
NA crying around here for the
last hour. She can't under.
stand why Ed treats her so
cold and doesn't seem to care
for his home any more.
If you didn't know Mrs. Ed
wilkins very well you might
not understand either. and
you'd probably say Ed was a
brute. She's thirty-five. pretty.
good natured such a nice
woman" tidy, saving. fine
cook and a good mother.
What more does the man
want?" you wonder. "I'll bet
there's another woman in H."
That's what poor Ella May
wilkins thinks, too but
she's wrong. Ed isn't unfaithful.
.. he's Just bored to tears.
And the reason isn't hard to
find.
Ella and her friends spend
all their time doing fancy work.
They get together in the after
moons and proudly compare
their latest luncheon sets, their
embroidered cushions and lin
gerie, their hook work rugs and
tapestry chair seats and beruf-
fled lamp shades. Their houses
are filled with such truck Even
the bath rugs are embroidered.
Never, by any chance, do
Ella and her friends discuss
anything but fancy work, neigh.
borhood gossip or their domes-
tic affairs although they've
all had high school educations
and several of them held posi-.
tions before marriage.
They rather look down on
women with interests" They
think it's an awful waste of
time to go to clubs and they
are sorry for men whose wives
are always gadding around at.
tending lectures or doing social
work. They feel that THEIR
husbands should be very CRATE.
1ul because they stay at home
and make Useful Things in
stead OF getting crazy ideas like
that.
When they have finished one
article, they hurry right down
TO the stores and get another.
All the stores are filled with
such material there's a
greater demand for it all the
time And that's rather strange
when you consider the op.
portunities and responsibilities
