His Opposition to Loan
Measure.

REPASSAGE EXPECTED
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb 90
Speaker Nicholas Longworth of the
house signed the veterans loan bill
today almost Immediately after
congress convened.
The bill as passed by congress in
creases the loan value of all World
war veterans adjusted compensa-
ton certificates 70 so per cent of
their matured value.
Five minutes later Vice-President
Curtis affixed his signature to the
measure.
That was the last formality before
transmitting the bill to the White
House where an almost certain veto
awaits it.
The measure could not be signed
when it was approved by the senate
Thursday night, because the house
had adjourned for the day. The
law requires that bills be signed by
the speaker in the presence of the
house.
President Hoover conferred with
his cabinet about the measure to-
day, and all the secretaries were
understood to have agreed with his
opposition to it.
Mr.. Hoover is expected to send
the bill back to congress with
veto in four or five days after re-
ceiving formal reports from the
treasury and the veterans bureau.
Repassage of the bill over the
veto is believed to be assured by
wide margin, the house having
favored it by 1863 to 80 and the SEN
ate by 70 to IL. Only two-thirds
vote is needed to override a veto.

"A number of interesting points were
brought out when the results were

was great surprise at the number and
cost of guest meals what might be
termed the high cost Of hospitality.
The women also noted the higher cost
per meal in small family than in a
large one. All agreed that giving chill

was greatly emphasized. The meet
