Husbands and Home

Husbands and Home
Mr.. Husband. isn't it true
that during the months when
it was possible for you to en-
joy some sort of outdoor sport
you spent considerable time in
pursuing it.
Wife and family had less of
your society than they had a
right to expect.
If you spend most of your
leisure elsewhere you are not
giving your family q square

The Mystery
Deepens

OSSSAS
And now the mystery
deepens. The Finance Com
mittee meets Tuesday morn
ings. The members have all
agreed upon the passage of
the tax bill for the balanc-
ing of the budget that day.
But Senators Smoot and
Reed, Administration men,
bers, retire for consulta-
tion. Solemnly they return
to announce that the Presi-
dent will appear in the
Senate at noon. Of course
they were surprised-or
were they?
The President appears,
knowing full well that the
budget was balanced by the
Senate bill which had been
agreed upon and which he
knew would be passed that
day. Then the usual fan
fare of such occasions. The
usual solemnity and pomp.
Then the speech-the amaze
ment among Senators-and
the Senate proceeds as has
been planned before the
speech was made to pass the
tax bill.
And then the whoop-la Of
the hawkeys of the Admin
istration-"See how the cour-
age. and leadership and stern
determination of Mr.. Hoover
has forced the Senate to
act!"
1t was a hoax-a cam
paign hoax-the old story of
giving a thrill to the ground
lings.

The Double-Track Marriage

Divorcing for love is the lat

Oh we'll, we are divorcing,

not for love?
Many a woman has taken
her trusty little revolver and
sent her husband into Kingdom
Come because she loved him

Mississippian Who Quit
Senate in Disgust Dies

With crowded memories of his
brilliant career in Congress, and
his wit, satire and eloquence, old
timers on Capitol Hill unused and
lamented today because of the
passing yesterday at his Missis-
sippi plantation home, near Yazoo
City, of former Senator John
Sharp Williams. He was 78 and
IAN old-fashioned Southern gentle
man"
He had been in retirement there
since 1923, when he voluntarily left
the Senate, although reelection
was assured. He departed from
Washington, not even waiting for
Congress to adjourn, and made
this characteristic whimsical COM
ment:
I'D rather be a yellow dog
and bark at the moon than to
stay longer as member of the
United States Senate. I'm tired
of the hypocrisy of public life"
Opposed to Dry Act
Williams was opposed to the
Eighteenth Amendment and the
Volstead act. Personally he was a
wet; but he told the Senate:
Il don't think prohibition is
going to work, but my folks
down in Mississippi are dry and
I'm going to go along with them.
1 am one of their representa-
tiveS up here in Washington"
The late Senator Williams, born
in Memphis, was a member of
the House for 10 years and it's
minority leader and Democratic
candidate for Speaker, in the
days of the Republican regime,
for three terms. His Senate
terms. ran from 1911 to 1917, and
1917 to 1923. He was temporary
chairman of the Democratic ma
tional convention in 1904.

SUPPLY
Campaign in Climax Today as
Speakers Urge Virginians'
Aid to BaIk Price War

The campaign by the Mary
land Virginia Milk Producers
Association to obtain a 5 per
cent reduction in the supply
of milk to Washington will
end today with addresses by
officials in Ashburn and Pur-
cellville, Va.
Already the flow Of milk has
neared level where supply and
demand are equal, giving further
assurance that a milk price war
will be averted.
500 Join Pact
Nearly 500 producers are re-
ported to have agreed to cut their
supply per cent that the price
may be kept at the present level.
This curtailment, ordered by
the association, which controls "a
per cent of Washington's milk
supply, was hailed today as a
step toward saving farmers and
herd owners of the two States
from financial chaos.
Farmers Face Loss
Julius Marcy, one of the own
ers of Arlington County Dairy,
Clarendon, Va, said the farmers
in the dairy business are facing
financial loss and the 5 per
cent cut in production will go
far to alleviate conditions.
Frank S. Walker, president of
the association, and John McGill,
jr., secretary-treasurer, will speak
to farmers today.

zoo FOLK FEAR
BAD WINTER

1t is going to be hard winter,
according to Frank Lowe, veteran
animal trainer and assistant head
keeper at the Zoo.
Lowe based his prediction upon
the condition of the various hiber-
mating animals at the Zoo, in
cluding the woodchucks and
prairie dogs.
Both animals are putting on
thick layers of fat and storing up
an unusually large amount of
food. The prairie dogs, who usu-
ally begin digging their winter
quarters late in october, are al
ready busy at the job. Before the
onset of mild winter they have
been known to delay operations
as late as December.
Says Keeper Lowe:
"The woodchuckS and prairie
dogs are the best barOmeterS.
Animals from more frigid zones,
such as polar bears, can't be
trusted. No matter how cold it
became here it would still be
comparatively mild for them"
The majority of the animals
from southern climates at the
Zoo are now in their winter quar-
terS,

The report of GlaSsford'S

comments to make in reference

me by the Washington Post

tentiOn on my part to retract
any statements 1 have made
heretofore in reference to the

Although refusing to comment
on the rumored shake-up in the

follow the transfer of Davis,
Glassford and Inspector L. I. Ed

Changes that may be necessary
