added:

At this point, a messenger hur

JOBLOAN GROUP
DEF|ES HOOVER
VETO HINT
Four Join Robinson in Drafting
$780, 900 Proposal for
Relief, Building Program

Serious differences between
President Hoover and congress
sional leaders over unemploy-
ment relief today threatened
to prevent an early agreement
upon a legislative program.
The most formidable OBJ
stacle was Mr.. Hoover's strong
objection to a public works
program to he financed by a
bond issue. The President was
said to hold that this would
delay balancing the budget.
With Congressional sentiment
crystallizing behind a prosperity
loan" plan, however, it appeared
that the President would have to
yield to the demand or exercise
his veto power.
The differences existing over
relief legislation were thrown
into clear relief after the Senate
Democratic subcommittee had
made public it's $4,000, 900, 900 pro-
gram.
Five Draft Plan
The Senate plan included $780,
100000 to be loaned to States for
relief purposes by the reconstruc.
ton Finance Corporation, with
loans to be repaid from State
allotments for Federal highway
aid; $500, 100000 additional for
the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration; and a $500,000, 900 pub
lie works bond issue.
Under the plan, devised by
Senators Wagner of New York,
Pittman of Nevada, Bulkley of
Ohio, Walsh Of Montana and
Robinson Of Arkansas, the Recon
Struction Corporation would be
permitted to loan to States and
municipalities for construction Of
revenue-producing projects, aid
housing and Slum clearance pro-
jects, grant loans to public or
private corporations for construc-
ton Of toll bridges, tunnels, via
ducts, or other works, and $40,-
100000 to finance export sales OF
farm products.
Watson Cites Differences
The proposal for loans to
States and expansion of the Re
construction Finance Corpora
ton were said to harmonic in
principle with Mr.. Hoover's ideas.
Said Senator Watson (R0 of
Indiana, after talking to the
the President:
"The greater part Of the
Democratic program is in har-
mony with the suggestion here
tOfOre made by the President.
"The other part, that in ref
erence to the issue of $5OO,OO0,-
900 in bonds, is not in harmony
because such a procedure would
not permit the balancing of the
budget with all that means to
the country at this time.
DEMOCRATIC VIEWS
In urging it's program, the
Democratic committee said:
"By providing for meeting
appropriations for capital ex-
penditureS from the emergency
construction fund, the plan will
contribute materially to bal
ancing the budget result it
is determined shall be accom-
pliShed.
"The entire program is ar
ranged with q view to tapping
various sources Of recuperative
energy and bringing into opera
tiOn the employment producing
and trade-reviving capacities Of
public and private industries
and agencies"

Transatlantic Call From Amelia
Ends Husband Nerve -RQcking Viqil

NEW YORK, May 81 UN.S).
Shortly after II O'Clock this
morning the jangle of a tele-
phone bell caused the grayfaced,
trembling George Palmer Putnam
to leap for the phone. A moment
later he cried:
"She's landed-she'S landed;
everything is all right"
Those in his room at the Hotel
Seymour knew that Amelia Ear
hart Putnam had now entered
the list of immortals-the first
Of her sex to make a solo flight
across the Atlantic.
Relieves Tension
The horrible suspense and the
agony of waiting through sleep
less night had left their mark
on her publisher husband, but
the transatlantic phone call from
q London newspaper telling him
Of his wife's safe arrival banished
the grim lines from his face and
the terrified light from his eyes.
A half hour before he had re-
ceiyed a false report that his
wife had crashed. There had
been no details and he had spent
thirty horrible minutes which
must have seemed an eternity
to the husband. He said:
81 did some talking to God
during those minutes"
He was quite proud of his
wife's achievement, once the eX-
citement that she had actually
landed had died down and further
details came via the transatlantic
phone.

he didn't forget, and he kept wondering
how it was that Johnny had known

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Sleep in Favorite Position.

- ONE of the situations which
arise during childhood are per-
petually haraSsing to the mother.
~ One of these is the baby's pro-
pensity for sleeping in one posi-
ton. 1t makes little difference wheth-
er that position is on his back, his
stomach, his right or his left side; it
always constitutes menace as far as
the mother is concerned. She has been
told that baby must sleep first on one
side and then the other, and she is
driven to pasting him in one of these
neglected positions with pillows if he
can't be made to stay that way vol
unfairly.
1t would seem, from the many ba-
bies I hear about, that all of them
have preferential positions. They are
pretty persistent about holding them,
too. If a baby likes to sleep on his
stomach, then on his stomach he will
sleep, two parents to the contrary. If
he has a yen for his flat-on-the-ba
position, then no amount of pillows ad-
justed to force him to right or left side
will prevent him from wriggling onto
his back
The mothers contention that he is
running the shape of his head, hatten-
ing either one side or the other or the
back, would seem to be valid excuse
for tearing her hair. But this con-
dition is not permanent. Left alone,
the baby's head rounds itself in ac-
cordance with his heredity and not his
sleeping position.
It seems wisest to start turning new
babies from side to side about every
hour when they are sleeping, merely
in the interest of greater comfort. If
they develop a liking for one side or
the other, or their backs or stomachs,
let them enjoy the favoTite positions.
A temporary f1attening of the soft skull
will not remain permanent.
There is another temporary condi-
ton that frightens motherS-the childs
tendency to crooked legs. Ricketts, is
indicated by soft bones which bend out
of position and cause knock-kneeS,
bow-legs and whatnot. The cure for
ricketS is the proper diet. sunshine in
Summer and cod liver oil in Winter.
None Of these points should be neg
lected.
1t does sometimes happen that de-
spite the best of diets, plenty of sun
shine and steady dosages of cod liver
oil, the child who walks early shows
some bending of the long bones of the
leg. In such a case it is sensible to
figure out whether one is fulfilling
every condition for good nourishment.
Nature will cure itself. Usually be-
fore the second year this moderate
crookedness of the legs is outgrown,
provided, Of course that the child is
still being given a good diet.

you can hope to have a smooth fore
head. The right sort of massage will
be helpful. At bedtime, after cleansing
your face, apply some massage cream
to your forehead and massage in the
following way for five minutes: Place
the middle finger of each hand at the
bridge of the nose and then draw them
upward and outward; repeat several
times. Now start with both middle
fingers at the right side of your fore
head and begin an up-and-doWn mas
sage across the forehead to the left.
The finger of the left hand leads in
the movement; while it goes up toward
the hairline, the finger of the right
hand goes down to the eyebrow line
Now place the fingers of both hands at
the center of your forehead and give
an outward stroking massage. All the
massage movements should be gentle
and light. After the treatment wipe
off the excess cream and pat on on
astringent skin tonic. Your skin will
be less sallow when you have built up
your weight. g The average weight
