secretary Hull was all of these
things at the dinner given on Pan
American day in commemoration
OF the anniversary of the Spanish
republic.
Near the end, Spanish Ambassa-
dor Cardenas, the host, proposed
a toast. Lifting a glass of dark
Spanish sherry, he said:
I'VE drink to the President of
the United States and the Presi-
dents Of all Spanish American
republics, and I propose that we
drink it in this wine, called La
Raza' CThe RaceD in token of the
race which unites us"
Although Cordeu Hull could
not understand the ambassador 5
Spanish, he knew that it was his
duty as secretary Of state to re-
ply. And he did-most eloquently
except for one thing.
He picked up the wrong wine.
The def hand Of a woman is the
cause of considerable presidential
trouble in the house of repre-
sentatives.
Mrs. Isabella Greenway of Ari-
iona has been a member of the
chamber for only four months.
Prior to her election she never
had held elective office. Yet to-
day she is one Of the most dan
gerous foes the administration has
in the chamber.
The reason for this power is her
long intimacy with the President
and Mrs. Roosevelt.
Mrs Greenway was a brides
maid at the Roosevelt's Wedding.
On their honeymoon, they visited
the Scottish estate Of Mrs. Green
ways first husband. Mrs. Roose-
welt made a special trip to the
Capitol to witness her friends in
duction into Office. The two won-
en- are constant companions.
As a result. house members con-
slider Mrs. Greenway a member of
the Presidents family So when
she bolts, they feel free to do
likewise.
HOUSE leaders say privately
L L that her vote to override the
veterans bill veto was a big fac
tor in turning the tide against
the President. It is cloakroom
gossip that many members wait
until after she has voted to de-
eide how they will ballot.
Nominally. Mrs. Greenway is a
Democrat. She never fails to pay
lip service to the new deal. But
basically she is as standpattish as
Budget Director Lewis Douglas,
whose congressional seat she is
filing.

THE basement theater in

TINE basement theater in In
Il dianapolis has come into its
own, just Is the community, civic
playhouses and player groups in
local churches have reached
places of real Importance.
With few road shows coming
into the city, the basement thea
ter movement has been success
fully introduced by E. Pierre De
Miller, who has launched a move
ment to place acting" play going
into the hands of all people
Some months ago, Mr. De
Miller erected a very small stage
in the basement of his home.
There even three-act plays have
been produced with Mr.. De Miller
and his acting and producing
group handling all details from
cast to scenery.
Mr. De Miller then pictured a
number of these neighborhoOd
theaters all over the city. Mrs.
Eugene Fife, for years associated
with Butler university and now
conducting her own classes,
joined the movement by recently
erecting a small stage in one of
the halls of her home
In the summer, out-of door
plays will be given in natural set
tings in her back yard. Her first
acting group membership was
practically filled after the first
meeting.
Her experience in directing and
teaching argues well for the sue
cess of the venture. She states it
may be necessary to form another
group at once to take care Of APP
pliCantS.
Recently Mr.. De Miller has
been working on his pet idea Of
organizing a Theater Guild with
the basement or home theaters
feeding into the various church
groups (and there are many fine
organizations of this type here)
and then including the conlmu-
nifty centers and parks.
This may result in the park
community houses presenting
number of attractions this sum-
mer, drawn from the guild.
Never before has there been so
much interest in amateur theater
in this city. The acting groups in
the various churches of the city
have made tremendous strides.
Many pastors are turning over
several Sunday nights year to
these groups to produce Biblical
plays.
The Irvington Players were
most successful with tbSen during
their first season in Irvington. An
old church property was used by
this group.
The basement theater is a
splendid idea and Mr.. De Miller
is to be congratulated upon start
ing this movement and working
out his idea Of Theater Guild.
THE complete cast for the
l. play, so This Is London"
which will be presented at Eng
lish's, May 6, by the Cathedral
Dramatic Club. has been selected
by Brother Jarlath, c. S. b.. and

These Experts, HO-Hum

I OBJECT to the influence of these expert trouts-
Il men. Because where formerly, when a party
wished to go out and remove litter of fish he Just
took his pole and can of bait and went, nowadays
a mans first thought is Of his costume and bait is
considered unethcal Sure know the pole fisher
man very often caught no fish, but your complete.
fashionable troutSman will catch fish at least
twice as often.
This I well know from having watched great
bodies of them dressed and accoutered to the frac
ton OF a second, Tipping bits of lint, fuZz and
feathers into the waters of Westminster county New
York. In five years at least 900 of these full dress
fishermen have come under my eye and have yet to
see one OF them catch even modest fish, or to
hear credible rumors of such results
But they are posted thoroughly their gray
nackeS, royal coaChmen, silver doctors and all such
department store styles of fish lure and they would
fetch you evil sneers and possibly have you ar
rested If you were to come along with bamboo pole
and fat worm and accumulate a two-pound trout
for yourself.
Why do people want to be making such a fancy
mystery of the old sports of chdhoods happy hours
anyway?
If wish to cultivate relations with trout these
days I at liberty to fish according to the natural
instincts of an oId-time worm fisherman? I am not
If did word would get around that Pegler was seen
going along the brook with a can of worms one day
last week and the family would have to change their
name and move to Guatemala to start life over
But tell you, I can't do anything with their
damn gray hackes and coachmen and buffers and
their No. tapered line. try to fling that little
business out into the stream and it fouls in some
shrub. Then, when I get it free and float it down
the water by hand like sissy it Just washes around
IN the stream and nothing happens. I don't blame
the trout. It's the system.
Dangerous Sport
A FEW years ago, at Lake Placid they we're talk
"A ing of bobbing down hill over the crystal snow
and this seemed very attractive just ohand because
we used to do some doWnhill bobbing around our
neighborhOOd when 1 was just a gay loVable boy.
But science had put its chilling hand on this sport
too, and now they were careening along frozen
trough six feet deep, which wound down the side
OF mountain, and people sailing off into space
every day and Strewing the scene with hunks Of
themselves
An ambulance stood at the bottom with the
chains on the wheels and the engine snoring gently
and bobbing down hill plainly had ceased to be
the sport that I remembered from childhoods
happy hour
don't know what going to do for sport
1 can't cast the gray hackle, I can't hit lick

the one time that tried tennis figuring that here
was one game I should be able to beat the ball
seemed to go right through the banjo. I wonder if
they now require special csotume and some equva-
lent Of the No. tapered line if a fellow feels like

THESE two and their allies are

resolution for an investigation Of
the munitions industry in the
hope that such a probe may dis
close much to aid their cause.
They have also been doing their
best against the billion dollar Vim
son naval building bill which has
been signed by the President but
is so far merely an authorization,
not an appropriation. Meantime,
women Of the opposite camp, such
as the Daughters Of the American
Revolution, who believe that the

upheld by preparedness, also have
their day every so often in con-

with providing machinery for con-

that of missionary captured by cannibals. He is
being fattened for slaughter.
