LOBBYISTS ARE ON SCENE

Although many legislators have
gone home for a few days to take care
OF their personal affairs pending the
appointment OF committees In the
house and senate, there was no lack
Of interest In the legislative situation
today.
With the governors message be-
fore them, members Of both political
factions were studying it closely with
a view to determining their own re-
actions.
Because Of the nature Of the docu-
ment 1t was expected that the recon-
mendations made by the governor
would go through without serious
difficulty. Members of the I. ". A.
saw considerable In the message to
praise and Nonpartisans generally
saw little to condemn pending furth-
er development Of the ideas ex-
pl essed. These held to the view that
the governor failed to mention some
items which might be expected to de-
velop controversy and hence the
things that might have drawn their
fire are not yet In issue.
Meanwhile, attention was turning
to potential legislation. Representa-
tives of various groups and organiza-
tions which usually are present at
legislative sessions have arrived In
the city, many Of them having been
here since before the opening day.
These were comforting with their
friends in the legislature. some with
q view to preventing possible u~nfavor-
able legislation and others With the
obje6e Of encouraging passage OF bills
which they feel will constitute sound
legislation, at least from their own
viewpoint. So far as could be learned
today, however, there were few per-
sons seeking the introduction Of bills

washington, Jan. 0.@PeProhibl-
ton Director Woodcock Is about to
resume his travels. inspecting first
hand the efforts Of his dry agents and
the conditions they are meeting.
Hurriedly recalled to the capital
some weeks ago by President Hoover
and Attorney General Mitchell, just
as he was about to sail for Homo
lulu, Woodcock has been helping
steer the prohibition appropriation
measures up to the floor of congress.
AS soon as money matters r set
tied, he said Friday, he plans to take
up just where he left off, first visit
ing the Minnesota district, and then
the West coast before sailing for
Hawaii.
The former Maryland attorney was
enthusiastic about the progress his
small army Of dry agents have made
since he became the federal prohibi-
ton chief last July 1.
"The prohibition bureau has made
great advances in efficiency, loyalty,
and esprit de corps" Woodcock as
serted. I'VE have q better bureau

Notwithstanding, Woodcock made
clear the bureau will continue publ
cation Of pamphlets and educational
monographs designed to disseminate
facts about prohibition. The house
Tuesday struck out a paragraph
granting q deficiency appropriation
Of $4,000 for education, but left an
appropriation Of approximately $685.

Some $4,000 still remains Of the
$4,000 prohibition education fund

Woodcock. said five new monographs
were planned, to be distributed
through q mailing list Of nearly $780,

Their subjects will be whether

compilation Of the laws Of various
states concerning the teaching at the
effects Of alcohol; the volume Of vio-

Rohbie Trout and Edna May

Mark at $50 A. M.

Los Angeles, Jan. 0.-(P)-Endur-
ance flying has proved no lark for
Bobbie Trout and Edna May Cooper.
Nevertheless the girls and their
plane. the Lady Rolph. named in
honor Of the first lady of California,
showed no signs of weakening Friday
as thep passed the 1l5-hour mark at
$3.50 a. m.
The perseverance of the filters,
who for more than 80 hours were
dogged by a rainstorm, apparently
was rewarded. for at midnight the
rain ceased and the clouds began to
dispense.
The storm was the second since
they took off at 2:20 p. m. Sunday.
They rode out the first Tuesday
night.
The weather and q series of mis-
haps, however. caused Bobbie and
Edna to lower their sights. When
they began the venture they had
them trained on the GAS hour flight
record set by Dale jackson and
Forest O'Brine.i at st. Louis. Thurs
day night, while the storm was at its
height, they dropped q note saying,
I'VE want to beat the Question
Mark"
The question Mark, a tri-motored
army plane manned by five Of the
army's best. set the first refueling

years ago. The promise Of clear
skies and q warm sun Friday may
revive the old ambition.

Rolph was patched Thursday night.
The rip was just one Of the. series Of
mishaps to the girls. The others in
cluded fouiing Of the tail controls by

The first stones were laid for It's foundation just 213 years ago. at that time to house Henri de la Tour d'Auvergne. Then Madame de Pompadour purchased it to satisfy a whim. When she tired of her palatial toy and went in search of other pleasures and palaces, 1t be- came a furniture store for Louis XIV, the famous and infamous king of France, who was indifferent to the ruin of his people, and to every thing but his own pleasures.
 Then the banker, Nicolas Beau jon, purchased the property and kept 1t until lean days encouraged him to sell at time when he could make a slight profit. From then on, for number of years, the now aristocratic dwelling became suc- cessively an embassy, national printing works and a pleasure gar den, where Paris danced to many gay tune.
 In 1873 it became the residence. of the presidents of the French republic, and has remained so until the present day.
