shows that his enthusiasm for the sub
ject with which he is so familiar is
just as great as ever.
In fact at present he is crusading
for review of AL legislation which
has to do with employing postal con-
tracts as an aid to this country's
merchant marine.
Bald, gray-mustached and ruddy-
faced, he is a familiar figure on the
Senate floor.
He does not speak very often. When
he does, it is with rather low voice
sometimes difficult to hear
His career in the Senate has been
distinguished. When the Democrats
controlled the Senate organization I'M
der Woodrow Wilson, Fletcher was
chairman of the important Committee
on Commerce. At present he is the
ranking Democrat on that committee.
as we'll as No. l minority member of
the Banking and Currency and Military
Affairs Committees.
Next to the merchant marine in his
interest are inland waterways. The
Gulf-to-Maine inland project was one
of his dreams, and he saw it become a
reality
He also proposes the building of a
canal from the mouth of the Mississippi
River to the Atlantic Ocean and has
worked untir.ngly for the project.
Senator Fletcher also interested him
self in rural credits and was the chair
man of the United States commission
on this subject appointed by President
Wilson.
1t was after the findings of this COM
mission that the farm loan act was
passed in September of 1916.

There were some very close and very, very exciting matches Wed- nesday night. Some Of the games were so close that the aiaChOemen decided them in the lost two boxes and on several occasions it was not until the very last ball was rolled
 that the winner was known. .lt might also be said that the point system of scoring sure is the s'ncrts," for some of the teaEns that were two down at the end of the second game went hayvwire i'm the third, cOpping enough pins to not only win the game to ease out with the total pinfa1l for the night.

costumes of the period, and Long
worth provided much Of the fun.
Persons who met him for the
first time often to their delight and
amazement were listening before
the end Of the evening to the
speakers classical piano repertoire
or, more amazing, perhaps, to his
vocal rendition of Down Where the
Wurzburger Flows"
Early in his congressional career
Longworth formed that unique
friendship with the man who now
is leader of the Democratic side in
the house and who will be speaker
if the Democrats take control, Rep
resentative John N. Garner of
Texas, an old-fashioned, blunt
spoken, rough-cornered plainsman,
as complete a contrast with Long
worth in his careless personal ap-
pearance and background as could
be found in the house.
Their joking about the automo-
bile furnished the Speaker has be-
come a classic. Garner, because OF
the even division of the house, has
called it our car" In fact, he
rode in it about as much as Long
worth because they were together
so much.
The pair often was together in
the hideway office in the Capitol
basement, where Longworth sought
seclusion from the countless visitors
who descended upon his Official and
far more pretentious offices just off
the house floor.

These bold, bad men who prowl

aren't nearly as tough as they're

His infantile "Boo!" scared two of

night, when they tried to steal the
auto in which he was sleeping.

North street, Apartment 8, the ba-

minute and ran inside. When she
emerged the car was gone. So was

and I looked up and found the car.
It was only in the next block. I

There was the coupe, nosed into
the curb. In the rear Marvin, his
mission. of frightening away the
bad men accomplished, had gone

DENY PAVING PLEA
Adverse Ruling Ends 3-Year
Widening Battle.

The three-year fight for widening
and improving North Pennsylvania
street from st. Clair to Sixteenth
streets was at an end today as re-
suit of action taken by the works
board Wednesday.
On recommendation of City
Engineer A. H. Moore, the board
denied a petition for the project
filed in February, 1923, basing the
rejection on the fact the cost would
be excessive and that the city has
insufficient funds at this time for
the work.
The board confirmed a resolution
for paving of Ogden street from
Sixteenth to Seventeenth streets. It
rescinded action on paving of
Twenty-third street from Montcalm
to Harding streets, suggesting that
property owners file a new petition
for paving Of the street between
Harding street and Sugar Grove
avenue.
