DUAL LIFE GETS
LAMP OUT
CONTINUED From Page y

IL OnCIuue0 from rage
Lamp visiting here from Wash
ington thought that she'd like to
look up her old school chum and
naturally began to consult the
telephone directory. Sure enough
there it was-Mrs. Adrian H.
Lamp, 835 Eighth Ave.
Voice Is Unfamiliar
A soft, unfamiliar voice came
over the wire:
Hello, yes this is Mrs. Lamp
Mrs. Adrian H. Lamp"
The friend stammered:
81 guess you're not the same
Mrs. Adrian HI. Lamp"
The friend, being a determined
and practical young woman, i'm
mediately called Mr.. O'Brien in
Washington. He assured her that
his daughter lived at the May
flower.
Naturally when the two friends
finally met each other the dis
cussion Immediately began to
light up on lamps. And when
it was all over, Mrs. Lamp
picked up. the telephone and
called the other Mrs. Lamp.
Talk Is Short
Hello, Mrs. Adrian H.
Lamp, this is Mrs. Adrian H.
Lamp"
But the conversation was not
prolonged. It seemed that Mr..
Adrian H. was then with Mrs.
Lamp number two.
Mr.. Lamp rushed up to the
Mayflower to protest that 1t was
all wrong and he still loved Mrs.
Lamp the first; but Ruth Cady
Lamp packed up and went back
to papa.
And now, the despondent Lamp
is suing his wealthy father-in-law
for $4,000 charging false arrest
and alienation of his wife's affec-
tions.

BONE DRY BILL
PUT ON SHELF
FOR RPRESENT
Fight on Howell Measure
Suspended As Vets and
Drys Prepare for Battle

With the Howell bone dry bill"
as the unfinished business" the
Senate today prepared to shelve
the measure temporarily in order
to work on other legislation.
Routine bills on the calendar
and the War Department Appro-
priation Bill are displacing the
contentious local measure before
the Senate today while wet and
dry leaders are preparing for the
finish fight on the Howell bill.
Glad to See Pause
A temporary respite in the de-
bate on the bill was welcomed by
both proponents and opponents
Of the measure as giving them q
chance to map out definitely the
course which future argument is
to take.
Senate leaders seemed to vel
come a chance to displace the
Howell Bill in order to work on
other legislation. Debate on the
measure has been acrimonious
and has led to an opening Of fire
on President Hoover and his some
what ambiguous stand on the
Wickersham report, and leaders
would Just as soon let this
matter rest for day or two un-
til the situation has been clar-
flied.
For the first two hours Of its
session today the Senate is TAX
ing up morning business" This
includes introduction Of routine
measures and action on minor
bills on the calendar.
War Bill Studied
Immediately after the morn
ing hour" Senator David A. Reed,
of Pennsylvania, plans to call up
the War Department supply bill,
which will probably occupy the
rest Of the day.
Wet forces throughout the
country have started a drive on
Congress to prevent passage of
the Howell bill. The Crusaders,
militant anti-dry organization, is
taking the lead in this, and
scores Of kilograms have been re-
ceived by Senators from back
home" urging them to fight the
bone dry" bill.
Scores of amendments to the
Howell bill are ready for intro
duction in the Senate when de-
bate is resumed, probably tomor-
row or late this afternoon.
Blaine Change Fought
An amendment by Senator
John ]. Blaine of Wisconsin,
which would rob the measure of
the section extending the search
power, is the pending business
and will be the first acted upon.
This amendment would strike
from the bill the language de-
signed to increase search warrant
provisions beyond the provisions
Of the National Prohibition Act.
Senator Howell regards the search
section as the most important in
his bill and he and other drys
are fighting hard against the
Blaine proposal.
Senator Burton K. Wheeler of
Montana is insistent on trying
to clarity the Presidents attitude
toward prohibition, and is using
debate on the Howell bill as his
vehicle.

What Gold
Standard Is
CBy The Associated Press)

t6y 1ne ASSOClhleu freSSD
The gold standard Of ex-
change Is normally in use by
virtually every civilized nation
Of the world. 1t is predicated on
the fact that paper money Of
a country's bank Of issue Is
redeemable in gold on demand.
The suspension Of gold pay
ments in Great Britain means
that the Bank OF England is
not bound now under an act of
parliament Of 1925 70 buy gold
bullion Of stipulated standards
for three POUNDS. IL billings,
10 IL pence per troy ounce.
The act OF parliament in effect
resulted in the British pound
sterling being equivalent nor
mally TO S4.86 SIS.
In the British foreign ex-
change market. recently with
the pound sterling available
below its gold parity. in relation
TO other currencies. 1t ha been
profitable for banks to acquire
sterling pounds in the market,
convert them into gold at par
ity, and then convert the gold
into other currencies by ex-
porting the gold.
The pound sterling was peg
ged in New York during the
war at s4.76. II reached this
artificial height by means or
securities sale OF dollars held
by British citizens.
In 1919. 1t was decided to re-
move the support. and the
sterling dropped. until finally
in 1919 It hit a new low Of 1919.
The gold standard has been
adopted by most every country
since the war.
