FIRST LADY CUTS
BIRTHDAY CAKE
Later Addresses 250,000
Camp Fire Girls Over
Radio Hook-up.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 2.-Mrs. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt stood before an elec-
tric camp fire yesterday and cut q
cake which 25O,O00 Camp Fire Girls
all over the country accepted es the
signal for q nationwide birthday
party.
IT baked it for you because I learned
angel food is your favorite cake" said
7-year-old Margery Hunt. ST hope
you will cut 1t for the Camp Fire
Girls"
Il certainly WILL" replied Mrs.
Roosevelt, land I'm glad to have q
cake baked by such little girl"
She handed Margery a match and
the little girl, unabashed by Kleig
lights, news reel cameras, mothers. or
the presence of the Presidents wife,
calmly lighted the % candles on an
other cake, symboliZing the 22d an
niversary Of the Camp Fire Girls.
Girls Listen to Talk.
Most of the 25o,000 Camp Fire Girls
OF the country were gathered at SIM
liar celebrations-at teas In the Mid
die West and lunches in the far West,
so they could hear the First Lady
talk over the radio.
An elderly woman who caused the
Camp Fire Girls much CONSERVATION
by holding on" to Mrs. Roosevelt in
the receiving line was discovered to
be Mrs. James Roosevelt, the Presi-
dents mother.
The Camp Fire celebration came in
the middle Of busy day for Mrs.
Roosevelt. In the morning she visited
the Buckley School, where her sons
used to go, and taught her last civics
class of the year at the Todhunter
School. She wound up her day by
sitting in on the formation of a. New
York Committee Of the Institute Of
Women's Professional Relations.
A pottery bowl, made by Stella
Park, IL, of Los Angeles was presented
to her. She carried this away with
her, but left behind Margery's cake.
Mrs. Roosevelt said over the radio
that hobbies, which have been the oc-
cupation Of Camp Fire Girls this year,
make people into useful citizens.
Develop Character.
Hobbies may be messy around the
house, but they do something to de-
velop a chld's personality and char
acter. These must be developed, be-
cause youth today Is entering life
under more difficulties than ever be-
fore. The more young people develop
hobbies through which to express
themselves and act creatively the
more confidence they will have Of
their own ability to make good at
something"
Afterward Mrs Roosevelt went to
tho home Of Mrs. Walter j. Salmon
to meet with some 20 women who
are interested in the problems Of pro-
fessional women. Mrs. Jouett Shouse
OF Washington, D. c., wife of the
former chairman Of the National Ex
ecutive Committee of the Democratic
party, is chairman of the board Of
directors of the Institute Of Women's
Professional Relations and was also
present.
Mrs. Shouse said the First Lady
is particularly interested in the prob
lem Of the older woman in business
who has been laid low by the depres-
sion. The institute, which is sup
ported by Carnegie funds, is trying
to meet the problem Of unemployed
college and professional women, she
said.

ably be passed, although no one will
cry if it is not.

He started out by feeding
the legislative lions one piece Of meat

That method led to too much

A contributing factor is the weak

ECONOMIC AIM STRESSED.

Vienna Spokesman Declares Sensa-
tional Reports Absurd.
VIENNA, March - (R.-A foreign
Office spokesman emphasized today
that the chief aim Of the Mussolini-
Dollfuss-Goemboes conference this
week-a meeting which is attracting
world attention-is economic CO.
operation.
All of the more sensational reports
concerning possible accomplishments
Of the leaders Of Italy, Austria and
Hungary are pure invention" the
spokesman said.
As Austria's tiny leader. Engelbert
Dollfuss, got ready to speed to Rome
for the meeting, every one watched
the situation with two-fold interest.
Vienna Situation Watched.
Everybody is waiting to see, not only
what will be done in Rome, but what
will happen in Vienna while Dollfuss
is away.
1t was during the little chancel-
lor's last absence from the country,
on a two-day trip to Budapest, that
Vice Chancellor Emil Fey started a
vigorous anti-Socialist action which
eliminated in the sanguinary civil
war
The same Vice Chancellor Fey will
again take charge of the government
while Dollfuss IS in Rome for talks
with Premier Benito Mussolini and
Premier julius Goemboes, beginning
Wednesday, There was speculation
as to whether a new Fascist drive of
some kind is just around the corner.
It was said Dollfuss might leave to-
night, although it was announced Of
f1cially that he would go Tuesday.
Expectations Great.
Dispatches here said Premier Goem-
boes. in Budapest. told reporters that
he was leaving with great expecta-
tions"
Goemboes said, "all Europe wants
real solutions; all yearn for genuine
peace and concrete achievements.
possibility Of results which may aid
them in furthering their aims. Even
the monarchists hint that the Rome
conference will further our plans"
With the possibility of the restora-
ton of a monarchy still discussed on
all sides, speeches by Dollfuss and
Cardinal Innitzer before an assembly
of Croatians aroused keenest interest
last night. The latter, formerly part
of the Austro- Hungarian empire, now
form a discontented element in Yugo-
slavia.
The assembled Creations, group
of students from Burgenland, cheered
Dollfuss after he declared:
"Our common fatherland, Austria,
shall be your paternal roof also. All
the more SO because now we can be-
gin to recreate Austria In the spirit
of Christendom."
Remain always good Catholics"
Cardinal Innitzer told the Croatians,
good Croats and good Austrians."

opportunity to vote II he chose The
drys should take lesson from this.
Recent experiences show that
where prohibition is adequately sup
ported by public sentiment it fur
nishes the best solution of the liquor
problem; that where it is not ade-
quately supported by public sentiment.
the mere fact that it exists as a law
although enacted by strictly legal
processes, will not cause its accept
ance. and the opposition under our
system Of representative government
will both defeat its enforcement and
accomplish its repeal. These consid-
erations raise the question whether
future extension Of the prohibition
policy should be made only after op-
portunity for popular expression Of
the will Of the people and not through
representative action. although that
may be legally possible. The maxi
mum Of benefit under prohibition can
come only when 1t is national pol
icy. but should national prohibition
be again adopted. should it not come
only when it is adequately supported
by public sentiment. and any future
constitutional amendment dealing
with the subject provide elasticity and
recognize the distinction with respect
to its enforcement between what are
properly State and what are naturally
Federal functions?"

to recovery, M. L. Seidman of the New
York Board Of Trade, asserted the
present law obstructed revival of cap
ital goods industries by restricting de-
ductions for capital losses on short
term paper.
The bill would further delay busi-
ness improvement, he added, by pro-
hibiting deductions for losses on long
term obligations.
Seidman pointed out the bill would
allow losses only to the extent of gains
in sale Of property and urged tax
payers be allowed to deduct excess
losses by Subtracting it from other
income.
David M. Gaskill Of the Cleveland
Chamber of Commerce described these
provisions as unfair and asSailed the
proposed income tax revision, the tax
on personal holding companies and
exchange and reorganization pro-
visions.
Gaskill said the proposed fiat per
cent normal tax on all net income,
including dividends, would discrimi-
nate against corporations which al
ready pay a tax of 1924 per cent.
Senator Connally DemocraD OF
Texas found fault with the witness
for not taking position on the in
heritance tax, while Couzens (Repub-

Two administration measures, ex-

insurance law and guaranteeing the
principal of home loan bonds, were
approved today by the Senate Bank
ing Committee.
The first measure would extend for
a year, or until July /, 1885, the tenn

ment guarantee back of the $2,000,-
100000 issue of home loan bonds au-
thorized by the last Congress to re-
finance small home mortgages.
The committee also approved q bill
by Chairman Fletcher to limit State
taxation of national bank shares.
The bill would prohibit a taxing
district from imposing a greater bur-
den on such shares than 'the aver
age burden imposed in that district
on otner taxable intangible personal
property"
It also would prohibit taxation of
State banks or trust companies that
are members Of the Federal Reserve

FATE OF PAY BILL
Leaders Expect Supply
Measure to Be Sent to
Conference.

House Leader Byrns. Speaker Raj
ney. Chairman Woodrum of the SUBJ
committee in charge of the indepen-
dent Offices appropriation bill, and
other Democratic leaders predicted
today that the Democratic caucus Of
the House, meeting at 4 o'clock this
afternoon, will adopt a rule binding
the members to send this bill to con-
ference without a separate vote on
either the Federal pay restoration or
veterans benefits amendments.
They counted on support from the
l04 Democratic members listed as be-
ing absent from the previous confer
ence last Thursday. Many House
Democrats, however, insisted the
Democratic membership will not
adopt this rule.
Although Chairman Buchanan Of
the House Appropriations Committee
has not sent out notices for full
committee meeting, both House Leader
Byrns and Chairman Woodrum Of the
subcommittee in charge Of the bill said
this measure will be reported to the
House tomorrow noon without any
committee recommendations in exactly
the same form as 1t came from the
Senate.
Although no meeting Of the Re-
publican Steering Committee has yet
been called, Minority Leader Smell,
Representative Martin, member Of
the Rules Committee, and other prom
inent Republicans said the Democratic
majority can expect no help from the
Republican side Of the House either in
adoption of the rule or in defeating
the Senate amendments covering Fed
eral pay restoration and veterans
benefits.
