By International News Service

BY international news service
House Democratic leaders today
considered two plans to combat
the movement for passage Of the
Patman bill for cash payment Of
the 1000 million dollar soldiers
bonus. The first plan called for
a report on the bill by the Ways
and Means Committee, which
would rullify the effect Of the
signing of the petition to recall
the bill from committee.
The second is to rally the Dem
ocratic members on the ground q
vote for cash payment is con-
trary to the wishes Of President
Roosevelt.
Chairman Doughton CD of
North Carolina, of the Ways and
Means Committee, said the ques-
ton of action by the committee
may be considered in tho next
few days.

lay a wreath on the tomb Of
Washington.

ton of the city no parade would

association and a special commit
tee placed a wreath on the tomb
of Washington.

URRAY. Scotland, March 20
Isolated in the wilds Of a great
mountain deer forest. blind Helen
Keller is teaching the Braille method
TO Mrs. Anne Sullivan Macy, who
took charge Of Miss Keller in girl
hood and taught the blind. deaf and
mute girl how TO read and speak.
Mrs. Macy is threatened with
complete blindness. But the
patient instruction given by Miss
Keller has given her eyes such COM
plete rest that there is hope her
sight may be saved.
Miss Keller's little farm seemed
the most inaccessible spot in all
rugged Caledonia. Her only neigh
bors in 100 square miles are the
families Of six deer stalkers.
Maintains Large Correspondence
The lights Of Miss Keller's farm
house cleaned a welcome as the
correspondent trudged over the
moOrland. where red deer were
gathering in hundreds, terrified by
the fury Of the gale.
Two shaggy collies barked. Inside
were Miss Keller, Mrs. Macy and a
third inseparable companion, Mrs.
Polly Thomson. They gave the cor
respondent a real highland welcome
as they Ushered him into the kitch-
en-. where a fire roared in the
hearth.
Mrs Thomson told me that Miss
Keller herself fed the chickens and
cattle, holding out to them unsee-
ingly carrots and turnips.
The farmhouse has five rooms.
Miss Kellers time is fully occupied
with housekeeping and writing. She
maintains a large correspondence.
Spends Busy Days
She wrote a statement of her life
with Mrs. Macy.
It is true" the statement said,
MY teacher is now practically
blind. read to her every day and
make notes for her in Braille. She
knew Braille when she was at
school. When she taught me she
wrote out many letters. punching
them on Braille tablets.
But since then dot writing has
undergone changes. About half the
letters are different. 1t was not
difficult to teach Mrs. Macy the
new letters and we have fun when
she makes mistakes, using the old
letters. She never will read Braille
rapidly. She never did. But it
passes the time for her to puzzle
out words while she waits in the
dark for the day to dawn and the
shadows to go away"
Miss Keller rises at a. m, and
has a breakfast of porridge before
she starts a days work that would
tax the energies of many people.

THE block I am sewing you today

by Mrs. Saylor of Akron, Ohio. She
says she pieced one like this when
she was 10 years old. She Is now
over so. She says that when she was
child mail was carried by a driver
on a blackboard. The blackboard was
drawn by a horse and the conveyance
itself consisted of two wheels and a
seat just large enough for the driver.
He had an old quilt on the seat to
pad 1t, as he was an old man of IS
or TO- The quilt was pieced in this
pattern and had been made by his
mother. 1t seems that the quilt
began to go to pieces and a large
fragment Of one block was lost as he
drove past the house Mrs. Saylor,
then the girl of 10, picked it up and
copied it. She calls her pattern
'Twinkling Stars"
The design is exceedingly effective.
1t may be made in old-fashioned
calico. Use two shades, strong and
bold, for the diamond blocks. Use un-
bleached muslin or sprigged black and
white for the squares and triangles.
The Nancy Page Quilt Club members
sent for the direction leaflet with its
working pattern. The seams are not
allowed in the pattern. so be sure
when you make your quilt to allow
one-quarter inch on all sides.

Now listen, Mary" he said softly,
Il have Mr.. Sims book here and !
want you to read the article on re-
sponses to original bids Of three no.
trumps while I'm playing this hand.
You haven't even got primary trick,
let alone a five-card suit, and you bid.
I've got three no trumps-four no
trumps-all over the lot and what am
I playing the hand at? Five clubs!"
Are you going TO make it,"
queried Mrs. Aggressive.
II don't know. All I can say is
that it's lucky thing that you've got
a magnificent player for a partner"
Mrs. Conservative interrupted by
leading a diamond. Mr.. Aggressive
took the second round and at this
point realized that he could easily lose
two spades. He led the ace and king
Of hearts, and then the ace of clubs.
OF course, If the king of spades lies
behind the queen, he can make five
clubs; or II the clubs break, he can
get into dummy. and make six clubs.
But Mr.. Aggressive, since he was only
playing the hand to make five, made
very fine safety play. He led the
eight OF clubs, and overlook it with
the nine In dummy. Since 1t did him
no good to hold off, North took the
trick with the ten of clubs. This gave
Mr.. Conservative a club trick, but
next lead, he laid down the four of
clubs-played the seven of clubs from
dummy and got two spade discards
on the queen and jack of hearts.
IT thought you'd make it," said
Mrs. Aggressive, who had been obe-
diently reading the chapter on re-
sponses to three on trumps.

notice the way I played the hand?"
demanded Mr.. Aggressive. mot one
person in a thousand would make it."

so many crappieS are caught, 1t Is
often spoken of as the fish for the
millions
Some day people who are land poor
are going to find out how short-sight-
ed they have been. Poor ground can
be turned into artificial ponds. 1t
will not take long to grow water
plants and have a very fiourishing
pond of fish. A new body of water
can be created and the fish turned
into that one. The old fishing pond
will now be rich, fertile soil, and will
grow flowers or vegetables. In the
meantime the new body of water. with
its many inhabitants, is making an
other rich spot that can be used.
Even If you do not want to fish,
sized pond, well stocked, is a good
investment. At least it will give you
a far greater return than many crops
you would try to raise on soil that is
poor. If nothing more than chance
to go "fishen" and get enough to have
a fine fish dinner. the whole expert
ment is worth while.

Just what to do to get your pond

AS game fish the crappie is highly
esteemed in the South The fishes are
caught as far north as Washington.
Minnows are the most tempting bait
to offer them
The crappie is not much of a fight
er. His mouth is too tender for him
to put up much Of a scrap. 1t takes
experience to land the gamey fish
without tearing his mouth. Many al
most LANDED crappies enjoyed sudden
freedom because the angler did not
know how to handle the fish expertly.
However. this is one of the things
that make the angling game such an
interesting one.
There are some who claim that the
flavor of the crappie is tainted with
the taste of muddy water. The num-
Der of crappies caught and fried in a

confused. The calico bass is more

In lagoons, sluggish waters, ponds

These places at times seem to be
