WALLACE TEST
DUE IN HOUSE

The influence Of Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace with Con.
gress was to be tested today in a
vote in the House on the Simpson
farm price guarantee provision Of
the omnibus farm determination
bill.
With Wallace demanding that
this provision, inserted in the
Senate, be removed, Chairman
Jones CD of Texas, of the Agri-
culture Committee, was to ask the
House to instruct the conferees to
oppose it.
Under the Simpson amend
ment, the Secretary Of Agricul-
ture would be empowered to fix
prices of the domestically con-
sumed portion Of farm products
to yield cost of production.
Democratic leaders were conf

Crossed Eyes Strengthened
By observation-disclosures"

for the stimulation of eye syn
chronization.
Mason said the purpose Of the
device is to stimulate eye move
ments which will give the eyes
the direction which nature in
tended them to have. He ex
planned:
Briefly, the theory is that if
lights can be shown into the
eyes in such a direction that
they will fall on the same Point
Of the retina regardless of the
divergent or crossed direction,
in which the eyes point, de-
finite stimulus will be impaired
to the section of the brain
which fuses the double images
received by the eyes.
S'When the machine is so ad-
justed that the images seen by
the two eyes may be fused by
the person under treatment,
then the lights are automatic
ally swung back and forth in
a Semi-circle. The patient is
told to turn his eyes with
the lights so that he constantly
sees just one picture.
"Gradually the lights are
brought closer together, if the
patients eyes are divergent; or
moved farther apart, if the
patients eyes are crossed; and
thus by constant stimulation of
the eye. muscles and the brain
center, the abnormal condition
may be corrected"

SKY BILL
Up IN SENATE

The national "Blue-sky" bill, q
major item in the Roosevelt pro.
gram of emergency lawmaking,
was slated for Senate considera.
ton today.
Democratic leaders planned to
substitute the text approved by
the Senate Banking and Currency
Committee for the one passed by
the House. The differences are
for the most part of a minor
character.
Drafted in part from the noted
British companies act and in
part from the blue-sky laws Of
several States, the bill provides
strict Federal regulation Of all
new stock and bond issues in
America.
The Federal Trade Commission
is designated as the regulatory
body.

Cut the large quilt block in
half, leaving one-half intact,
and cutting out the separate
pieces of the other half to use
as patterns for the prints and
plain material. The half Sec

age contains eight quilt pat
terms in all; four for piece work
and four for patch work or ap-

These are the patterns that

nately in each "Goose Tracks"
