you was holding you back. And
you've longed to be free.
You're still longing to be free,
aren't you? In spite Of the
fact that many Of those earlier
handicaps have ended, you still
feel bound-still want out"
And you find the same long
ing in everyone you meet. Be-
meath their gay laughter or
their solemn silence, they. too,
are tortured by the same rest
lessness and resentment. Even
though they may be enjoying
all those things which seem to
you to be most desirable in
life-health, wealth, success,
power-they, too, want to be
free.
But once in a while you
chance on people who seem
to be really free, and it's al
ways a surprise. For, amaz-
ingly, their material condition
often seems worse than yours.
Seldom are they wealthy. Some
times they are extremely poor.
often very sick, with countless
troubles which surely should
worry them. Yet they seem to
have discovered some secret re-
lease.
You wonder what it is. How
can lives so afflicted be free?
Where can you find freedom
such as theirs? And once
again you scan your horizon,
hoping to find the secret OF
freedom there in some lucky,
outward circumstance.
YOU'LL NEVER FIND IT
THERE

Play Games Only to Relax

Play Games Only to Relax
Do you constantly fight your
self in some game in which you
wish to excel?
Instead of getting pleasure out
of it, you generally end the
game in a high-pitched state of
anger.
Games should produce relaXa-
tion and provide pleasurable
exercise.
Instead you are so fatigued,
and your nervous system so
wrought up that you are really
fighting mad at the end.

Then do you return home in
such a mood?
If so, you devour your meal
hastily-and woe unto any
members of the family who may
offer suggestions or complaints
about anything.
In consequence your digestive
machinery suffers, being unable
to meet the demands of prepar-
ing bolted food for the physical
system.
Then comes distress and gen.
eral discomfort.

MARRY-GO-ROUND
BY Helen Rowland

Because the cultured intona-
tions of her voice, as it comes
over the radio, ARE natural and
pleasing, and not too Park
Avenue. And because, in her
speeches, she never strikes at
titudes or deals in platitudeS.
Because she hates to bother
about clothes and refuses to
waste more than two working
brain-cells on shopping for glad
rags. because the most vital
problem of her life is NOT the
ever-changing length of skirts
and haircuts.
Because she has managed,
somehow, to infuSe an atmo-
sphere of "homeyness" into the
cold and formal White House,
that makes you feel welcome
there-and reminds you that,
after all, you DO help pay the
rent. And because she has had
the initiative to serve tea,
there. CWonder if you could
get beer and pretzels, in

Because her independence is
not the sort which expresses it
self in mannish clothes, poses
for publicity or a play to the
gallery, but the kind which
consists in doing what interests
her, what she likes to do, and
what she happens to think of
doing, regardless of whether it
has ever been done before or
not.

MAN KILLED IN
ROAD ACCIDENT
R. E. Durbin Meets Death On
Curve Near Heber When Auto
Hits Pole.

r. E. Durbin, 43 of 3l6 South
Reeves street, Beverly Hills, was
killed instantly shortly before
o'clock last night when his auto
mobile, driven by Don Northrup of
San Diego, struck a telephone pole
at the turn west of Heber on the
Calexico highway with such force
that the pole was snapped off.
Northrup suffered minor injur-
les, although he testified at an in
quest here this morning that he
did not remember anything from
the time of the crash until almost
half an hour later.
A coroner's jury, called together
by Coroner A. r. Underwood, re-
turned an open verdict this morn
ing, finding only that Durbin met
his death by an accident. The jury
did not even specify that an auto
mobile was involved in the acci-
dent.
B. E. Lemons, undertaken, said
this morning that Durbin's body
probably will be sent to his home
at Beverly Hills. He is survived
by wife and two children.
Durbin and Northrup, his en-
ployee, had driven to El Centro
from San Diego, and were on their
way to Mexicah last night. North
rup was driving Durbin's machine.
Northrup testified today that he
was blinded by the lights of an ap-
preaching machine, and did not see
the sharp turn in time to make
allowance for it. The binding
lights were followed by a crash
Northrup said, and he remember
ed nothing afterwards.
Undersheriff Rodney Clarke was
following almost Immediately be-
hind the large roadster in which
the two men were riding. He was
the first officer on the scene.
Shortly afterwards Bill Tackett
and Jimmy Holcomb, highway pa
trolmen, arrived.
According to the officers, tracks
showed that Northrup had applied
the brakes some distance before
striking the telephone pole. After
hitting the pole the machine left
the roadway and careened into a
field, where it came to rest.

Missouri Takes Honor Of Pass

Short Session OF Congress Is

OhitCu AICsS oLdlI OOTTcSpOnueEt
WASHINGTON, Jan. %. = The
death sentence for '1ame duck"
sessions of congress was sealed to-
day.
The 36th state was Missouri win
ner OF race between several state
legislatures for the honor of max
ing the amendment effective.
The famous Norris Tame duck"
amendment has been ratified by
SO state legislatures and now be-
comes part of the constitution.
1t is designed to end forever such
sions of congress as the one now
raging tumultuously as a hangover
from the elections of 1882 while
new members elected last Novem-
ber wait at their homes, powerless
to act upon their mandate from
the voters.
The new lame duck" amend
ment will:
l. Convene newly elected con-
crosses on January following elec-
tion instead of 13 months later.
2. Abolish the holdover short ses-
sions which bring back a previous
congress for three months work af-
ter new congress has been elect
ed.
8. Change the date OF presiden-
tial inaugurations from March to
January 20.
These provisions come into force
October Is under the terms of the
amendment. This means that Mr..
Roosevelt's term will end January
20, 1887, instead of March of that
year. His term will be 43 days
shorter, meaning loss of $10,954
from his salary.
Terms of senators and congress-
men serving in the next congress
will be cut from March 4 back to
January 8. This will mean a re-
duction of SO days, a loss of ST.
617.60 for each senator and con-
gresham. One congressman used
this argument in defending the
carrying of his wife on his pay
roll when his constituents began
asking questions during his cam
paign last year.
InlS arrangement VIII make the
73rd congress just coming in unique
in history. 1t will have only one
regular session. Mr.. Roosevelt is ex-
pected to call it into extra session
in April but its first regular ses-
sion will begin Jan. 8, 1884. In the
following November q new con-
gress will be elected which will
start to work two months later.
Victory For Norris
Thus in the age of the airplane,
when a man in a real hurry can
get from one coast to the other in
day, the United States finally
abandons the leisurely schedule of
stage coach days.
This change represents a victory
in 10-year struggle by Senator
George w. Norris, Repn., Neb. He
first proposed it and it first passed
the senate six times more before
the house finally acted. Each time
Republican leaders in the house
smothered it. When Democrats
took control of the house they put
it through and it was submitted to
the states last March. Only two

LEGISLATURE ASSEMBLESFOR
FINAL WEEK Of FIRST HALF
Nothing Done AS Yet Regarding Major Ques-
tions Of Government Economy And Taxa
ton.

make a thorough study of all the
facts the legislature might use in
its consideration of the budget.
This committee was expected to
introduce approximately 400 bills
during the week, which may go far
beyond the sweeping slashes pro-
posed by Governor Rolph. If this
is done, there is small chance of
favorable action on the governors
plans to divert money from the
gasoline tax revenue in order to
balance the biennial budget.
Two of the measures supported
by the administration to economize
through reduction in state school
support, were slapped down in the
senate. These were the Breed bills,
one wiping out all fixed guarantees
for school support in the constitu-
tion, and the other cutting the $50
guarantee per pupils to $24.
Two. Bills Favored
On the other hand, two other
measures calling for reductions in
county and district school taxes re-
ceived favorable consideration.
A proposal by Senator R. R. In
gales, Mendicino county, setting a
maximum. for county school taxa
ton and giving board of supervis-
ors budgetary control was passed
out favorably by committee.
Senator Herbert C. Jones, San
Jose, won support of his plan to
nttf liCty.inf towns hy fnirI
through downward revision of max
imum tax rates which school trus-
tees can levy for educational pur-
poses, in addition to those offered
by state-county support.
Failure of the legislature in the
next few days to take steps toward
bridging a $60000,000 revenue gap
for the state was seen in some cir
cles as a certain indication of an
ad valorem tax on all property of
the state.
Under the law, should a legisla-
ture fail to provide enough revenue
to meet state expenditures, it falls
the duty of the state board of
equalization to levy an ad valorem
tax and collect it.
To some, an ad valorem tax ap-
peared the most reasonable way out
Of the states financial crisis, rather
than prolonged wrangle over in
creasing the gross receipts tax for
public utilities, which is sure to
extend the legislature far beyond
a reasonable time, they said.
