Support Of bank relief legis-

amended Mcleod bill is grow

strong likelihood it will pass
this session of Congress,
Speaker Henry T. Rainey (D.)
of Illinois today predicted.
Taking a definite stand on bank
relief for the first time, he sad:

At the same time he introduced
a resolution calling upon the
House Rules Committee to investi-
gate what members or employees Of
the House gave out information
and revealed signatures on the
Mcleod bank bill petition. He
reiterated a declaration made last
week that William Randolph
Hearst should be sent to jail for
80 days.
Later, Mr.. Blanton withdrew his
resolution at the request Of Rep
resentative William B. Bankhead

the Rules Committee.
Mcleod forces meantime laid
plans for a White House confer

bank relief with the President.
Rep. Mcleod Confident
Explaining his position, Mr.. NC
Leod says:
"The President thus far has
heard only the opposition. There
is no man in the country more
open minded than Franklin d.
Roosevelt.
'T am convinced he will re-
ceive this delegation at my re-
quest and when he as heard

cease"
Public sentiment throughout the
country meantime is mounting by
leaps and bounds, if a deluge of
kilograms and letters is indicative.
Governor Pinchot of Pennsyl-
vania urged members of his

fall in line behind the bill Satur-

sadness that has come into
your life.
Don't linger over it unneces-
sarily. Don't make a wallow OF
regret, nor a racket Of Self-pity;
but take a good, honest look.

Turtles Make

I If you have a garden by all

Is almost a necessity if you are
! planning to keep one as a pet.
! They can, of course, be kept in
the house but as they are great
travellers and like to be con-
! 9tantly on the move they are
rather inconvenient indoors.
! Properly cared for they make
pets. Not especially demonstra-
tive but friendly enough for all
, that.
! See that the garden is not
: all shade although they like q
! shady spot in which to hide
, during the heat of the day.
Provide them with some dry
; earth in which to dig and a
shallow pan of clean water.
! The last is especially import
ant. Tortoise should not be al

age must be young and tender.
| Their jaws are not oversharp
! and are not adapted to cut
tough stalks or leaves.
The ordinary black and vel
low tortoise found along the
roadside or in the fields is large
ly vegetarian but his cousin, the
hox tortoise, is not. The latter,
the prettier of the two, needs
meat. worms. insects, in addi-
I tion to green stuff.
! It will pay you to give your
tortoise an occasional bath.
| Sponge him off with water and
then rub in q little oil on q soft
| rag. The improvement in his
appearance will surprise you.
! Remember that the tortoise
hibernates in the winter. Be
sure to turn yours loose in the
