SOLONS FLY HOME FOR
FORHOLIDAYS-

Washington By railway, auto
mobile and airplane the senators
and congressman fled from the
capitol when Senate and House
recessed at midnight, Dec. 20, for
the holidays. They had accepted
the conference reports which fin
ally compromised their respective
party leaders disputes as to whe-
Their any loans for food for starv-
ing farmers should be authorized.
They had killed the Couzens a.
mendment on the emergency con-
struction bill which would have
given resident labor the first call
on the jobs to be provided by the
federal building program. They
had firmly repressed all murmur-
ings in favor of spending federal
money for relief of the hunger, de-
spair and cold of the families of
millions of unemployed workers.
NO FOOD FOR
! HUNGRY CHILDREN
Up to the moment when the fl
nal conference report was brought
into the Senate, late Saturday,
most of the members from the pro-
gressive middle west and from the
drought areas of the south assum-
ed that in agreeing to the $45,OOO,-
600 compromise between the adj
ministration's demand for $685.
| 100000 to be loaned to drought
victims for seed, fertilizer and live
stock feed, and the Senate's de-
mand that 35 million dollars be
added to feed the families of these
victims, the additional 20 million
dollars would be spent for food.
But the text of the report was so
worded as to leave to Secretary of
Agriculture Hyde the decision as
to whether any food could be pur-
chased for starving farmers and
their wives and children. It au-
thorized the Secretary of Agricul-
ture to make loans to the farmers
"for the purchase of seed for suit
able crops, fertilizer, feed for
work stock, or fuel and oil foI
tractors, used for crop production
an dwhen necessary to procure
such seed, fertilizer, feed and fuel
and oil, and for such other pur-
poses incident to crop production
as may be prescribed by the secre-
tary of agriculture, and sell the
same to such farmers. :"

BUT WILL FEED HOGS

McNary, chairman of the senate
conferees, claimed that in confer
ence it had been understood that
the words incident to crop produc-
ton authorized Hyde to provide
food for hungry farmers and their
families. Norris stated that he had
understood this to be the agree
ment, which he had accepted only
in order to avoid a holiday recess
with no relief legislation passed.
He agreed with Caraway, Barley,
COnnally and others that the adj
ministration's hostility to any
grant Of food relief to the farmers
had made it virtually impossible
to give food relief under this bill
without creating a dispute as to
the meaning of the law. A penalty
of $1,000 fine or six months i'm

REGATTA PRIZE
CUPS SOUGHT

A concerted drive for the con-
tribution of trophies for the
events which will take place dur
ing the Presidents Cup Regatta,
to be held on the Potomac on
September 1919, is being contem.
plated by the Chesapeake and
Potomac Power Boat Association
and the Corinthian Yacht Club.
sponsors of the regatta.
The former organization was
founded mainly for the purpose of
tnsuring the running of the
classic boat race on the Potomac
each year instead of on the bay
as happened last year.
A trophy committee of the two
clubs will shortly begin a canvas
of the groups of individuals ex-
pected to contribute trophies. The
array of cups and prizes to be
awarded winners of events this
year is expected to surpass that
of any previous year.

Committee Sitting Figures
Looking Towards Higher
Contribution for Upkeep

A mass of highly complicated
and technical figures is being
s1fted today by the special House
Committee on Fiscal Relations be-
tween the District and Federal
Governments as it moves forward
with the task of preparing recon-
mendationS to determine the
share which the national Govern
inent shall bear in the upkeep
Of its Capital.
Figures Gathered
Figures, showing the tax
burdens in every city of the
country, have been gathered by
George Lord, tax expert.
Reports that the committee,
which resumed its meeting yes
terday, was in disagreement were
laughed at today. Outside OBJ
servers likewise scoffed at the
idea that the members might be
fighting among themselves.
Revision Expected
Many believe that the COM
mittee is in complete accord and
Is pushing forward rapidly toward
sustaining the position which the
House has taken in fiscal rela-
tionS, namely, that the Federal
Government has been paying too
much and that the District citi-
Gems are paying too little.
Revision of the taxing system
in the District seems inevitable
If the recommendations which
the committee is expected to
make are to be put into effect.

Washington Fashions
BY WILMA LAvILLE-

Let's make the most of lower
prices on shoes this year. Not
only can we get better shoes
for our money, but the prices
are so low on them that we can
have a complete shoe wardrobe
at small cost, or perhaps we
can even have shoes for every
costume.
A Complete Wardrobe
Every person with a we'll
rounded schedule of activities
needs at least four pairs of
shoes. You will need a pair of
sport shoes for golf or whatever
other active sport you indulge
in. You will need a pair of
street shoes for travelling or to
wear with dark dresses on
rainy days. Then you will need
summer shoes to wear with your
wash frocks and simple silk
dress. And If you go anywhere
in the afternoon and evening,
you will need a pair of high
heeled pumps or strap shoes
with your chiffon, organdies or
whatever you prefer for after
noon and informal evening
Four Shoe Stars
Of course, these shoes must
be selected to harmonize with
your own particular wardrobe,
but we have made a selection
that we think will see almost
anyone through the summer,
And we have selected shoes at
such a low price that we can
all afford them. They do not
sacrifice line or good fit, how
ever even at their low prices.
The street shoe Sketched is
of blue kid and has an inter
esting perforated design. You
could choose this in patent
leather, black or brown kid ac-
cording to your needs. The golf
shoe is of white and brown
calf and is the most popular
type. The one-strap shoe is
of tosco cloth in natural color
with beige kid trimming so
that it will harmonic with any
color. The plain pump for

NEW YORK.-The great metro
polls that meekly pays millions to
ruthless racketeers every year, has
suddenly been shamed by the ex-
ample Of a little brown-eyed boot
black.
When a petty racketeer demand
ed tribute from Ysauro Anduagua
he didn't pay. He fought. fought
with a f~ierceneSs and indomitable
spirit that would not be denied,
swung his clenched fists against the
jaw Of a grown man and shouted
for his fellows TO help. Ysauro won.
And now blase New York which
has yawned dis~interestedly at gang
dom's guns murder and heartleSs
violence has found r-w courage be-
cause Of the inspiring deed OF 4
humble sinner OF shoes.
Indignant at Gangsters.
Until the hour when he met face
to-face a racketeer Ysauro was like
many boys who try TO earn honest
pennies by shining shoes. He work
ed in the Bowling Green section Of
downtown Manhattan. Although Is,
he is small for his age. But his ex-
periences on the streets Of the city
have made him keen-witted and
wary,
He has read Of gangsters and
racketeers. And unlike some boys
who admire gunner he detests them
with a vigor that finds expression
in fiery comment. Here Is what he
says about them:
Its a shame TO let buns like
Al Capone and Legs Diamond run
loose. They oughta be hung-both

His eyes light up with wrath.
His whole body trembles with an
ger.
IF I was running a store. or
something and one Of these gang
sters came in and told me I'd have
TO pay or mebbe get shot or bomb
ed, well. / wouldn't pay, that's all.
I'd smash him in the jaw. and
then Id call the cops. And If some
dirty gunner said he'd shoot me
l wouldn't pay anyway
lie stood Firm.
That was how Ysauro felt about ii.
And this is what happened the first
time he actually came face TO face
with the racket:
Ysauro was working al his trade,
laboriously earning the nickels ne
takes home to help support the
family, when Nicholas Zampani, 20
years old, approached him.
Come on you kids, pay me is
cents apiece" demanded Rampant.
Il got a concesh from the federal
government for shining shoes here
and II you want TO stay pay me.
See7 Mebbe you'll get beaten up Il
you don't"
Other boys had paid, paid the
hard-earned nickels that are not so
plentiful these days as they once
we're. Rampant had collected in other
parts OF the city. But when Ysauro
heard the demand all the resent
ment against racketeers that had
been damned up in him burst out
Il won't pay. you bum!" he cried,
Rampant clutched at the lad. AS
he did. all the pent-up fury OF the
bootblack's 100 pounds surged into
action. He ~pummelled Rampant n
the face. He fought as II his life
were at stake. His pal. William
Nachtrieb, Is. and other boys leaped
in TO help him.
And all the ghosts OF the stubborn
old Dutch burghers who psraded
and bowled on, that same green 20C
years ago, crowded about, applaud
ing.

Prices Higher
The flow OF production stilled in
the east Texas field, prices for

Reports from the field were that
storage supplies were being held at

Hard on the heels OF the price
