social history last week and each
large event was filled with interest.
The White House reception. the cabi-
net dinner for the President and Mrs.
Hoover, the various brilliant embassy
dinners and especially the ball at the

live in the minds of society folk. AS
Ash Wednesday, February 10, rings the
curtain down on very large dancing
events, and the polo ball opens the
Spring dancing season for the gay
world, April hosts are rushing madly
on with schedule Of dinner parties
luncheons, teas and dances that will
round out one of the fullest Winter
seasons the Capital has known in
years.

Midol means freedom from these

You have probably tried other
things for periodic pains, but so had
thousands Of women who today
bless Midol Try these wonderful
tablets and be convinced that the
normal monthly process need not be
one bit painful. Midol is non-nar-

complete ease in five to seven min

BANKER CHIEF
HITS PAY CUTS
President of Association
Wants Level Kept Up.

BIZ United Press
SOUTH BEND, Ind, April A.
Rome C.. Stephenson, president OF
the. American Bankers Association,
denies emphatically that the bank
ers are tying to cut wages to
the 1918 level, in replying to such
charges made in Washington.
Members of our association, .
said Stephenson, wholly are in
favor Of maintaining the high
standard of living among wage
earners and are. as DESTROYS as any
that there should be no wage re-
auctions.
I'm order that wage earners in
our industries shall be happy, con-
tented and prosperous, it absolutely
is essential that wages be paid COM
mensurate with Ethe value of the
labor.
Every intelligent banker and
citizen" Stephenson added, knows
that to preserve the present status
of living our wage earners should
receive all the compensation the in
dustry can bear"

STATE WORKERS
SALARY BOOSTS
MADE SECRETLY
Budget Committee Orders
Pay Increases for Bank
Department.

Sessn salary increases for en-
ployes of the state banking depart
ment were approved secretlS by the
state budget committee last week,
it was learned today.
This information, which was not
made public in the committee re-
port given the press, became avail
able with the filing of the new SAL
airy schedule with Floyd E. william
son, state auditor.
Increases were voted upon recon-
mendation of Luther F. Symons.
state banking commissioner. In
letter to the committee, Symons
stated that he had funds available
in a surplus under the item of
personal service"
Get New Titles
Under the plan, as. outlined bv
the banking commissioner, five field
examiners we're given the title of
senior examiners and their nav
was raised from S216.67 a month to
$3.50, or from $4,000 to $4,000 a wear.
But the $500 year raise was
small, compared with the two 9TH
ers granted. These increased the
salaries of both the building and
loan clerk and the loan and credit
clerk to $4,000 a year.
AS building and loan clerk, H. J.
Hanes has been receiving 81, 500 and
as loan and credit clerk, G. r. Par
ker, $4,000 a year. The new sched-
ule increased Hanes' salary by 81, 100
year and Parker's, $1,000.

Parker is night school law stu
dent and prominent in younger Re
publican oratorical circles.
Report of salary raises in other
departments were made public by
the budget committeeman following
the meeting last week. Lawrence F.
Orr, chief examiner Of the state
board of accounts and ex-officio
member of the budget committee.
was at loss to explain the failure
of the committeeman to report the
banking department raises.
Secrecy surrounds all budget COM
nlittee meetings, he admitted.

PLAN RULING APPEAL
East Side Residents to Sue
on Rem0nStranCe Denial.

RemonStrance of East New York
street property owners to prevent
widening of the thoroughfare from
Gale street to Emerson avenue was
overTuled today by the works board
and will be appealed to circuit court.
Saturday, officials declined to ac-
cept the remonstrance, but today
the board permitted it to be filed.
The board also adopted resolu-
ton for 100000 bond issue for the
improvement. Ordinance probably
will be introduced at city council
session tonight.
The remembrance refusal, officials
said, was based on 1929 law under
which property owners do not have
the right to demonstrate against a
resurfacing project.
Merle N. A. Walker, attorney, who
presented the remonStrance, said IL
was signed by 40 per cent of the
affected property owners.

The First Shot
IA Years AGO Today
u. S. Declared War
on Germany.

WASHINGTON, April. 6. =
w Fourteen years ago today
congress declared a state of war
existed between the United States
and Germany.
1t was mild spring evening.
An atmosphere of half-eager,
half-fearful expectancy overhung
the nations capital. Down under
the great dome of the Capitol
building the tension was null
piled tenfold.
Members of the house of repre-
Sentatives sat waiting in unnat-
ural silence, grouped on one side
of the chamber.
Presently man appeared in
the door, heralding the arrival of
the senate. Senators filed in, two
and two.
Many, of them, famous figures,
picturesque figures, are no longer
troubled with declarations of war
and peace. Henry Cabot Lodge
John Sharp, Williams-Robert M.
La Follette-.Vardaman, Stone.
A small, but impressive row of
seats in front remained vacant.
1.-THE supreme court of the
United StateSl"
The burly figure of Chief jus
tice White strobe down the aisle.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Louis d.
Brandeis, John H. Clark and the
rest followed.
ATOW the seats are filled, the
IN galleries packed to overflow
ing, the members of the govern
ment to a man, but the diplomats
in state attire, brilliant in old
world uniforms.
One is lacking. A hush falls
over the assemblage. Then the
doors opens and a voice cries:
1.-THE President of the United
States Of America!"
President Wilson, erect, schol-
arly, exuding nervous energy,
ascends the stand amid profound
silence. He adjusts his eye
glasses, takes a sip of water.
Gentlemen Of the congress"
A roar bursts from a thousand
Threats. Senator Lodge, i'm
placable foe of the President,
leads the cheering.
That tremendous wave of cheer
ing, led by the Presidents bitter
political enemy, can mean but
one thing:
War is declared, as surely as if
the Presidents message already
has been read and a vote taken.

BONUSES BOOST
TOTAL EXPENSE
OF LEGISLATURE
1881 Assembly viii Cost
State Approximately
$4,000.

Leland K. Fisl1back, clerk Of the
senate in the 1881 legislative ses-
sion, finished checking the senate
journal today and now wonders
whether or not he will get the $3.50
pay voted to him for this work.
Fishback pointed out that, al
though the senate journal shows
that this was duly voted, together
with bonus payments for both cleo
tive and appointive senate employees,
Lieutenant Governor Edgar D. Bush
dep, Salem), never has signed the
vouchers as president of the senate.
Originally the clerk and two or
three other senate officials were
voted $244 each for the sixty-one
days of service. This would in
crease their salaries from the regu-
lar Sc a day. to $40 day.
Sum Cut in Two
However, this was cut in two and
other employees let in on the bonuses.
At the last minute of the last night,
another amendment was offered and
included bonuses for janitors, ele-
vator operators and every one else
that sleepy senators could think of
at the time.
So Bush took all the records of
these motions and gave them what
he termed pocket Veto" He put
them in his pocket and announced
they would not be paid, nor have
they ever been.
Democrats in the house, however,
paid out about $4,000 in bonuses to
employees. Dick Heller, house clerk,
received a 1914 bonus and $500 for
checking the journal, which took
with him to his home in Decatur.
F'ishback and Miss Marie Back
meier, Richmond, checked the SEN
ate journal at the statehouse. They
are to receive $3.50 each, if Bush
signs the vouchers.
SCI Each for Clerks
Sixteen house clerks and book
keepers got SCI each; assistant
cloakroom clustodians SO day
bonus and janitors 81 a day The
three elective house positions, clerk,
assistant clerk and chief door,
keeper, got the 1914 bonuses. A tel
ephone operator received $50.
Total cost of the session, accord
ing to Floyd E. Williamson, state
auditor, will be around $160,0o0,
which is about $4,000 (amount of the
house bonus payments) more than
in 1929.
Cost of the 1929 session was
.$156666.7
Bush this year received $15115
for what he termed conference
rooms" at the English hotel.

HOME BREW IS GIVEN
BLAME FOR SUICIDE

Upon a bottle of home brew to-
day rested blame for suicide of Eli
Hugh Day, 10, Of 1884 North Arsenal
avenue.
When he drank it Sunday after
noon, Mrs. Day is said to have
warned him if he opened another
bottle she would break all there was
in the house.
I'LL end it ALL" he muttered. A
few minutes later she heard a shot,
and, afraid to investigate, ran to the
home of William Kremiller, l441

police.
Days body was found in his home,
He had placed the muzzle of 49,
