 GeoIf was Miamrs piece do re- sistance this week. as the season gained speedy momentum and the colorful program scheduled for the Year-Round clubs got under way.
 Meantime Miami enlisted the aid of Metropolitan New York this wek in carrying out the current part of it's program. While q sec- ond golf tournament, the, Florida Year.Round Club .Amateur-Pro best ball event is being held Tn Miami, New York will be gather ing at the Biitmore Hotel, in New York city, to view the latest smart creations for women's resort wear in Miama this winter.

 on the same day Miami society will observe its second important / opening this winter with the formal inauguration of the Roney Plaza Hotel at Miami Beach. Long an event of social prestige In greater Miami, 1t will carry on the holi- day air that has prevailed Miami snce November 23.
 The diversified schedule of events, designed to provide Miami with the greatest range of enter tainment ever planned for any tn- dividual resort, brought out today the first of a winter-1ong series of water carnivals in the picturesque pool of the Miami Biltmore Hotel.
 Suppiementing the sports calen- dar, however. were many social affairs, including the introduction into the resort life at the Miami Biltmore Hotel of many interesting bridge affairs, under the direction of Shepard Barclay. Mrs Mildred Applegate Archer and Mrs Edna Weeks, of New York. Last week contract enthusiasts turned out for the first of winter-long series or weekly bridge tcurnaments with weekly cups and an end-of-the-sea- son trophy as the awards.
 Informal social affairs marked the opening of the hotel and were carried on this week by members of local and visiting society.
 An amusing innovation, which oc- cupied many members of the Flor ida Year-Round, clubs and guests of the Miami Biltmore hotel, was the aerial beach taxi service which was introduced last week at the Miami Biltmore hotel. Members and guests were whisked from !, the terrace of the hotel 14 miles distant to the beach in an auto gyro plane which operates on hour ly. service from both points: '.
 This week two important Flori- da Year Round .club eveTAs are scheduled to begin. On Monday Miami will observe the opening of the National Anglers tournament at the Key Largo Anglers club, one of three Year-Round club units, and the beginning of the Florida Year Round Club Invitation BACK gammon tournament.

PORK PRICES
AT LOW LEVEL
Costs Less Than at Any
Time Since 1897.
By Tinted Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, May 1.-The squeal
of pigs in the pen is not the music
to farmers it was three years ago,
but the bell on the butchers cash
register rings a merrier tune for the
housewife buying bacon, or pork
chops or lard.
Prices of hogs on the hoof-the
key TO what the farmer gets for his
labor, his corn and skim milk and
the broods from his sows-are at the
lowest figures since Spanish-Amer-
lean war days.
When the average price paid for
live hogs at the Chicago stockyards
dropped to $3.50 the other day. that
was the lowest price since 1897, and
almost exactly one-third Of the 1888
average for the year 1929.
A survey of meat markets in ten
representative cities over the coun-
try today indicated that this saving
has been handed on TO the consumer
only in part.
The housewife now pays for pork
products about one-half what she
did in 1929, the survey showed.
The man who raises the hogs gets
one-third what he got three years
ago.

Senator David A. Reed, the latest

Swedish Bratt system of liquor con-
troll.
Reeds activities in behalf of the
Bratt plan-originally recommended
for the United States more than
four years ago by Scripps- Howard

quarters here as forecasting an off,
cial recommendation along this line
from the resolutions committee at
the Chicago convention.
Reed is said to be President
Hoover's choice for chairman of the
resolutions committee, although he
denied that he conferred with the
President on the subject of prohibi-
ton before leaving Washington.

Senator James J. Davis, renomi-
mated with a 100000 majority on

such resolution may influence

Treasury Loses $50 for
Every Word.
BIZ Tinted Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, May 14.-Senate
debate on the tax bill is costing the
treasury more than $50 a word to-
day. The argument is one of the
most expensive on record.
Chairman Reed Smoot of the
senate finance committee estimates
that every day of delay in passing
the bill represents a loss to the
treasury of s2,O00,OO0 in taxes
which would be collected under the
new. high rates.
Senators talk at an average rate
of about 100 words a minute or
5000 words an hour. The average
session is about five hours daily.
If those figures were exact, every
word uttered from the beginning to
the end of the senate tax debate
would cost s66.66. Only members of
congress are able to talk so ex-
pensively so long.

N. j., on April 81 with the baby
aboard. On April 20, according to
Curtis, he had visited the boat off
Cape May and no baby was aboard
at that time.
