The Democratic Ultimatum.


The Democratic leadership in the
Senate has gone and done it." 1t has
formally notified the House, the Presi-
dent and the country that unless II
can have the kind Of relief legisla-
ton which 1t wants special session
Of the new Congress will be forced, even
II the Democrats have to f1libuster the
appropriation bills to death in order
70 bring about such a session. The
ultsmatum issued by these Democratic
Senators leaves them in the position, II
their wishes are not complied with, Of
forcing upon the country something fol
which it has no liking, a special session
Of the next Congress. Try as they may
the Senate Democrats will be unable
having issued such an ultimatum, te
convince the country that they are
not the responsible parties. The onui
will be pinned on them, and justly so
That 1t will react against the party Il
the special session becomes reality Is
the view of some of the Democrats
themselves. Particularly is this true IN
the House. These House Democrats dc
not wish a special session of the next
Congress and they take the position
that the Senate Democratic leadership
Is forcing something on them which
they do not want.
In its effort to put something over
On the Republican administration, 70
obtain some immediate supposed al
vantage, it looks as though the Senate
Democratic leadership had simply
Numbered again. 1t has put the party
50 far as the Senate is concerned, in
position where 1t must either go through
with the threat to force o special ses-
sion Of the Congress, which will be an
unpopular move no matter what q
handful of these Senators may contend,
or 1t must back down.
The immediate response Of the House
Of Representatives to the Senate Demo-
cratic ultimatum that the proposed
2S,0o0,Oo0 Federal fund for food for
distressed persons throughout the Coun-
try must pass or there would be spe-
ciaI session Of Congress was to vote by
q large majority to reject the Senate
proposal. The vote came on a Demo
cratic motion IN the House to concur
In the Senate amendment 10 the In
terror Department appropriation bill for
the fund. While it is true that score
Of Republicans supported this proposal
IL was also true that half dozen
Democrats voted against 1t. And it is
reported that some Of the Democrats
who voted yesterday for the motion
really did not have their hearts in the
matter. They do not wish either to
force a special session of Congress on
the country nor do they like the idea
Of making a Government dole" an
issue In the coming campaign between
their party and the G. o. P.
Having issued It's ultimatum, the
Democratic leadership of the Senate
must ind some way out Of the situation,
II it can. Doubtless many statements
viii be made 10 the effect that the
House by It's position is forcing the
SPECIAL session. But the country knows
that It Is only in the Senate, because
Of its rule Of unlimited debate, that APP
preparation bills can be hlibustered 10
death. And the country will hold the
Senators responsible If that happens.

THE MARRY-GO-
ROUND OF
YOUTH
BY HELEN ROWLAND
Blowing Out the LOvelight

Marriage is an expe nS1Ve
luxury-expenSive for a man to
get into and for q woman to
get out Of.
Love kills time quickly and
pleaSantly-and then Time re-
turns the compliment by put
ting love to death by slow tor
ture.
Sometimes a woman's reason
for holding a job is to make
enough money to get a divorce,
because her husband objects to
her holding a job.
When a girl says that she
can't decide which of two men
to marry, she usually means
that she can't decide which of
them is going to give her the
chance.
Every man is at heart a bit
Of a romanticist; and when a
girl becomes too obvious or too
accessible to stir his imagina-
tion, she soon discovers that
she can't even stir his pulse
or his senses-beyond a kiss or
two.
There are some things in this
life which simply won't mix:
an artistic career and matri-
mony; work and alcohol;
whoopee and domesticity; busi-
ness and woman-chaSing; and
love and common sense.
The Eighteenth Amendment
is the father of the Nineteenth
Mole.
remember, I remember
The house where I was born
The little gilded rolling-pin.
The mounted huntingdon:
The notices hanging on the
walls,
The newell by the stairs,
The quaint hand-painted water
falls,
The tides on the chairs;
The "what-not" with its load
Of junk
Sweet memories, and sad!
But, II I saw that house, again,
I'd turn and run like mad!
A man is "old" when he has
lost his last illusion about wo-
men, even though he may never
have lost a tooth.

an amusing mixture Of the So
cratic and Rabelaislan about
GerkeS. He loved the private
and impolite jokes that had to
be told behind the barrier of
a hand, and the curbstone and
the platform were alike his ros-
trums. He had never married,
due principally to chronic lack
of income and what he re-
garded as the popular fallscy
that two could live as cheaply
as one. His eye for a pretty
woman was a quick, discerning
one. It lit on Jennifer, who was
standing in one of the pools of
light, glittering in her armor,
her dress a blaze of winging
metallic disks, and her eyes as
if they had come off the gown.
Rarick's pride in his friend
was pretentious and clumsy.

daughter that story about the

BY DR.. Logan Clendening-

Some of the new discoveries
concerning the activities Of the
ductleSs glands have been dis
cuSsed this week. Particularly
the effectiveness of the extract
Of the parthyroid gland and
the very recently announced
isolation of the extract Of the
cortex Of the adrenal gland are
indications Of solid progress in
this field.
Nothing of late has arisen to
subStantiate any Of the wild
theories that were rife ten or
fifteen years ago about the
glands-that overbalance Of one
glands secretion produced one
kind of individual, that altered
function of some Of these
glands produced criminals or
geniuses, as the case might be.
Napoleon was simply due to de-
creased pituitary secretion, and
Lincoln to increased pituitary
secretion, according to these
ideas.
A Strange Defense
Those ideas still belong to
the region of airy speculation.
It was not so long ago that two
youthful murderers were de-
Tended on the grounds that
they were the victims Of glands,
and the jury solemnly heard
testimony about the effects of
thymicopituitary imbalance.
Doubtless the ductless glands
do affect the personality in a
secondary way. If your bodily
functions are deviated along
certain channels, your mind
and personality are likely to be
warped also. But the way the
character is warped depends
more on what it was to begin
with than what the glands do
to it. If the pituitary gland
makes a boy fat and ungainly,
of feminine type Of body with
sissy ways, he will naturally be
different in personality and
