MONDAY, JULY IS, 1882
Much Is Accomplished

Despite the fact that the session of Con-
 aress just ended was one of the most hectic
 on record, great deal was accomplished ~ President Hoover and his advisers should i have no fault to find with the legislators
 They were slow in finishing up their busi- 2 ness. but they eventually agreed in whole or z in part with the Hoover program of relief. s We can recall last spring the doleful tones in which republicans were predicting pro-
 gram of obstruction by the democratic ma- < jority in the House As was stated then 7, there wasn't sufficient working majority s in either House to guarantee democrats or
 republicans of complete success.
 , Outside of the relief measures which con- < stituted the greatest achievement of the 72nd
 Congress, perhaps the fact that the Norris 4 amendment to the Constitution was passed
 by it will give it its greatest reputation. ], Tossed around in session after session the
 1ame-duek amendment, abolishing the short
 sessions of Congress and causing this body to
 convene in January instead of December, was
 approved by both houses last spring and signed by President Hoover. Already twelve
 of the thrity-six states needed for ratification
 have signed the bill It is sure of ratification
 by the end of 1933 when all state legislatures
 will have had chance to pass upon it.
 Of course legislation dealing with one
 phase or another of the 18th amendment
 featured the session. Senator Bingham of \ New Haven came into prominence as the leader of the wet cause in the Senate. How ever. it. remained for democratic senator. Carter Glass of Virginia, to propose measure . lacf If tho Conaf th1f cprufo1 more support than any of the Bingham bills. His measure substituted for the 18th Amendment state control of liquor with the <. saloon absolutely abolished In test vote it ' secured just two less than the necessary two V thirds vote for approval Despite bis 2 many attempts at record votes and the like Senator Bingham was never able to muster this support It looks as if next December might find the Glass bill receiving imme x diate attention as unfinished business
 The acceptance of the two billion dollar ugrelief bill by the Senate containing the pub ' licity clause for loans made by the Recon z struetion Finance Corporation was big feather in the hats of all concerned Presi- dent Hoover was foreed to. ooncede some thing to Speaker Garner. The latter had to make his concessions. too. That was the
 best. way to solve this vexing problem. Each side can now feel satisfied with the part played in the controversy. And relief on a big scale is assured. That is really the inn portant point Our representatives and sem ! stors can now devote the next few months to building up their political fences so that their chances of returning to Washington next year will be secure The last two weeks of the present session. or since the two na- tional conventions were held, have practie- ally been devoted to politics. It was high time the session ended. so that politics might be kept in their proper sphere.

Nepotism' Still Holds Sway

{. According to Raymond Clapper, United
 Press staff correspondent at Washington,
 nepotism still holds sway at the Capitol. i We did think that Mir Clapper's energetic !, dissection of the evils of the congressional < payroll might have a drastic effect upon l future actions of our representatives but !, when anybody starts to monkey with the !, rules of customs governing congress he or !. she generally runs against stone wall. It \ doesn't matter much to congress that this IS ! the time to economiZe. It has accepted a j 10 per cent cut, what more Gan be asked of :! 1t in the name of patriotism?
 {, It has been common knowledge for years i that the legislators at Washington are loath ito permit any money that might be allowed 1them for clerical help to get out of their sfamily. As result they built up system Of relativity such as even Mir Einstein might

 payroll it is apt to appear as secretary or hcletk. Sons. daughters. cousins, aunts, rel satives near and far, are remembered by
 kindly congressman whose belief in the U. S. Treasury must be legendary.
 " A serious attempt was made to rid the
 sfongressional payroll of these relatives at

Congress- Hostile Attitude


 Europe has been advised that this government would be ern- phatically opposed to any united front" debt settlement. although during the Hoover-Laval confer visions if she could get straight ened out on reparations.
 The ,extereme hostility Of con- gress and its refusal to revive the debt funding commission have made the situation tougher for the administration and 1t is certain that the debtor nations which want their debts sealed down will have to apply one by one and not in a group. The only apparent chance of general debt agreement would occur from Hoover's well known position that there should be sub- stantial armament reductions armament reductions whenever debt reductions are mAde.
 Reduction of the American tax burden corresponding to debt re- duction would be one way to make the latter more palatable.
 Little Talk of RepudiatiOn
 Any movement toward repudia- tion will come from united front" position such as the allies appear to have reached at Lau- same, since no nation would dare repudiate alone because of the dan- ger to its credit.
 But there is thus far little talk of repudiation and this country re- mains on record, as announced by former Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, to the effect that capacity to pay is still our basic debt poll icy and that whereas 1t would be an injustice for us to demand more from an individual nation than 1t could pay without Undue sacri- fice," 1t would be an injustice to the American people to demand any less.

To-day's Selected Poem

IDYL (Donald Page In the Christian Science Monitor. An avenue of trees, From where sit, Has branches interwoven, Loosely knit Forming a ceiling, canopied in blue, Where patterned folds Of sky Are shining through. Athwart the trunks Are moving hecks of gold Spun by the breeze, Reflected and nnr0lled Into q Rauss that blends The wandering light And gildD the shadows Like the moon at aight.

 A prosperous world without prosperous Latin America is an impossibiiity. The first great need of the situation is recovery in the demand for and value of commod- tiles. That would cure the greater part of Latin Americas ills.-- Robert H. Patchin of w. R. Grace & CO, New York.

CONCERNING A FINE
ARTIST IN IMPRESSIONS

There are very few people on the
vaudeville stage who can be graded
as being exceptional impersonation
artists.
Subylla Bowan is one of those
really fine and intelligent imper-
senators of other women on the
stage and screen.
I was simply knocked out of ny.
seat when Miss Bowan flashed her
impression of Marlene Dietrich and
Greta Carlo arguing with theater
manager who should be first on the
bill, at the Lyric Monday.
Miss Bowman catches the flesh APP
peal of Dietrich with cunning effect
as we'll as exposure. She suggests
actually in voice the Anna Christie
of Carlo.
Still more uncanny was the way
this woman caught the individuality
and sporting spirit of Helen Wills
on the tennis court. Here is great
artistry and even greater artistry
and Showmanship was revealed in
her smart impression of Beatrice
Lille. Here is art.
Another artist who goes in for the
well worthwhile product in song is
Madeline Patrice, who plays the
violin as we'll as she sings. She is
the concert type in manner as we'll
as in material and her success is
even the more deserving.
Lewis Mack is a good eccentric
funmaker and he is a wise show
man. From comedy standpoint,
he stops this show.
The bill includes Petett and
Douglas, tall sailor and a wee one;
the Three BredwinS in comedy aero
battles, and the Cadet Saxotette, Just
an acreage saXophone group.
The movie is Marian Marsh
Warren Williams and Charles But
terworth in Beauty and the Boss"
and this one is surprise because it
is an entertainment winner.
Here is spirited acting in comedy
and fantasy that we seldom get on
the screen. 1t is an audience
winner.
All is well at the Lyric this week.
