The senate joins the house In
overruiing President Hoover's veto
and our friends In the Philippines
will decide about separating from
their Uncle Sam, with certain re

to the separation.
The Filipinos Will vote. and II

Olympias. daughter OF King Neo-
ptolemus, was a Mrs. Snipes on q
big scale. There Is little doubt that

mar or better.
