What's What
Behind News
In Capital
Lindbergh-Dern Love
Scene Planned for
Publicity.
BY PAUL MALLON.

The secret of the Lindbergh story
is publicity
War Secretary Dern brought the
colonel down here to get him to
enact a big love scene with the War
Department for the movie news
reels. The colonel went back to New
York and sent two scorching tele-
grams to Mr.. Dern and the colonel
took care to give them to the news
papers for publication before they
reached the Secretary. That left
them just about even. Mr.. Dern
got better play for his side in the
movies, but the colonel got few
more paragraphs in the newspapers.
Earned All His Pay.
Col. Lindbergh has long been the
publicity front for the aviation in
dustry. Anything he says or does
attracts immediate countrywide at
tention. All the other officials in the
industry could shout themselves
hoarse for a week and no one out
side the sound of their voices would
know they were speaking.

The law says that the party caucus
controls a mans vote. A caucus is
a secret meeting of party members.
If the caucus majority decides on a
certain course Of action, all members
are bound to support that action.

party leader a letter and say he is

The oldest members of the House

but the present House leaders are in

The situation shows a new underly-
ing sentiment in the House. The boys
there are reverting to type, after year
of good behavior. They are thinking
more about getting themselves re-
elected than anything else.
The administration is not inclined
to make an issue of the matter, any
more than it did with the revolters on

Some day, however, voting will have
to be made test of loyalty, or Con-

Feared "Serbonian Bog"
Supreme Court Justice CORDOBA said
in the sunstroke case that if the court
tried to decide whether a sunstroke
was an accident Jurisprudence would
be in a Serbonian bog.
The experts knew that was no place
to be, but they did not know exactly
where it was. They had heard about
all kinds of bogs. There we're the
Everglades, also the House of Repre-
sentatives, but the Serbonian was
something new.
The New York Law Journal set its
bog department to work and came
forth with footnote to the text Of
the decision, stating that the Ser
bonian bog was probably the worlds
outstanding bog, that it was in Egypt
or somewhere near there. and caused
many travellers to lose their way.

Finally some one got the bright idea
of wiring the Parliamentary Library
