Honeymoon Over, Mccormick

To Be at Desk at 7::30 a. m.

strobe briskly out of his apart
rnent yesterday, hoped into
his car and at 7;30 was sitting
coatless and busily at work be-
hind his desk in the Interna:
tional Harvester Company Off.
ces. it signalized that the honey.
moon of the heir to the Inter

his bride, the former "Fiff'
Stillman, was at an end and the
serious business Of married life
begun.
Early to Work
Fowler, who is sales manager
for the Northwest district, was
one of the first to arrive at the
office. He was not talkative, in
timating that the work, from
which he had been absent since
his marriage, June 4. to the for
mer wife of James Stillman, was
considerably more important
than answering questions of
newspaper reporters.
At noon, however. Fowler was
cornered by reporters after he
had dashed from his office and
was sitting on a drug store
counter stool for his luncheon.
Will Stay in City
He denied reports that he and
his bride will take a place on
the North Shore for the sum-
mer, adding:
I'VE expect to remain in
Chicago during the summer at
the apartment where we are
now. / will be away a great
deal and my wife expects to
60 with me frequently"
He explained that he didn't
intend to get to work at 7:30
every morning. but that great
deal of correspondence had col
lected in his absence and that
this morning had to be answered.

 Special Christmas Song Seroice

tempo of the two new songs will prove interesting to the hearers. Much of the charm of the old French carols is due to the light hearted melodies which the peas ants used together with their som- Der devotions.
 And because we perhaps like most to hear the carols that we all know, the girls will also sing Good King Wenceslas" and"Three Kings of the Orient"
 The songs have been chosen with a variety that should appeal to every one. The public is generally invited, and indeed, urged to at tend this service Marcus Aurelius has we'll said that where two or more sing together, there can be no i'll feeling" Knowing this, it might be interesting to attend and then try to answer the old ques- tion which still puzzles psycholo- gists of behaviorism: Are you happy because you sing, or do you sing because you are happy?

BRUENING DEFEATS
 FOES IN REICHSTAG

BERLIN Chancellor Bruening, whose clash with A. Hitler, leader of the National Socialists, has aroused Germany, had an impor- tant victory in the Reichstag when the Council of Elders, by a vote of 321 to 256 defeated a mo- tion backed by Communists and Nationalists, proposing that the German Parliament be convoked.
 The move was direct challenge to the Chancellor's rule by decree during the current economic crisis. Meanwhile, Herr Hitler issued a 400-page letter charging the pres ent government with following a policy of illusion and called upon Chancellor Bruening to resign his post.
 Hitler again predicted that his party will ultimately be put in power legally by the vote of the people and harshly criticized what he said was Bruening's attempt to squelch all opposition by police power. Use of police power to sup press opposition, he said, is only tolerable when the governments successes warrant such a step. ''If we are not to talk" he said, "why not give us the power and we will cease talking and go to work"
