InanKS 10 the paLTlOClC lHl-
tiative and wise craftsmanship
of the able chairman of the Sen
ate Committee on Military AT
fairs, Senator Sheppard Of
Texas, the truth about the ur-
gent needs of the Regular Army
is no longer hidden in the files
of the House Committee on Mil
itary Affairs.
In the closing days Of the
Seventy-third Congress, the Sen
ate on motion of Senator Shep-
pard of Texas authorized it's
Committee on Military Affairs
ito make an inquiry into the
need for an increase in the pres
ent strength of the officer and
enlisted personnel of the Reg
ular Army of the United
States"
Competent Witnesses
This information has been
laid before the House Commit
tee on Military Affairs by COM
petent witnesses. But the hear.
ings at which this testimony was
given were never printed APP
parently no effort was made by
the chairman or members of the
House Committee on Military
Affairs to get them printed.
But the Senate committee, un-
der the Craftsmanship of Senator
Sheppard, supported by both
the Democratic and Republi-
can members Of the committee,
got this information printed be-
fore Congress adjourned.
Senator Sheppard began the
Senate inquiry by calling Con-
gresham Clark w. Thompson
Of Texas, who after a careful
study of the needs of the Army
introduced a bill in the House
at the last session calling for
an increase in the Army to the
peace strength authorized in the
national defense act. This
measure, which the House COM
mittee failed to report, was en-
Enthusiastically endorsed by the
American Legion, other veteran
organizations and patriotic So
cieties working for the upbuild-
ing of the national defense.
It has the support of the Re-
serve Officers Association. It
is endorsed by the Secretary of
War, the chief of staff, by
General Pershing, and by those
members of the House, who, al
though not members of The
Committee on Military Affairs,
have taken the time to study
and inform themselves concern
ing the reasons why the United
States has sunk to 18th place
in military rank among the ma
tions of the world.
Congressman Thompson gave
to the Senate committee the
same testimony that he gave to
the House committee. He showed
how the modest increase for
which the bill provided would
not only bring the Army to
the time strength author
lied by law but would provide
employment for many young
Americans at much less cost
than some relief agencies are
able to do.
Congressman Thompson found
that it cost last year to main
tain a young man in the Civil
ian Conservation Corps $1,400.
The cost for the second year
may be slightly less because no
new housing will be required.
The cost in the Army to main

the young couples up to three
hundred and fifty dollars to
furnish homes-on condition
that the bride give up her job
while her husband is employed
on a livable wage.
Here, in the United States,
the statement of birth control
advocates that the decline in
the birth rate means less babies
from the lower classes Is dis
puted by the findings Of Pro-
fessor Ellsworth Huntington of
Yale, who is president Of the
Eugenic Society.
DR.. Huntington says that the
birth rate among recipients of
charity is higher than among
the rest of the population. On
the other hand, he finds that
the middle class has the lowest
rate with the wealthy group
having more children and "con-
sidering four to be the desirable
number"
His conclusion is that eff
this tendency toward the
establishment of distinct class
lines should go far enough, 1t
holds that it might be followed
by the disappearance of democ-
racy, the creation of an arts.
tocracy and a proletariat."

Sounds Warning
DR.. kemmerer, whom Oswald
Garrison Willard calls the lead
ing monetary expert of the
world, has been q prophet with
out honor among the brain
truSters and the financial adj
visorS of the Washington adj
ministration.
A gold man, he has been a
voice crying in the wilderness
for an immediate return to the
gold standard as the way out for
the world. Although his views
do not prevail, they have sup
port because, while a conserva-
tive. Kemmerer is not hide
bound to the past, and is aloof
from politics.
He saw the necessity o. the
devaluation of the dollar.
Months before President Roose-
welt took action, he was advo-
eating that it be standardized
at 81 cents and that the billions
of profit be absorbed by the gov
eminent. AS we know, the
President devalued the dollar to
SO cents and did not return to
gold.
The gold forces, for the dura-
ton of DR.. Kemmerer's absence,
are without the services of one
of their best leaders, who, as he
leaves for Angora, sounds a last
warning that the inflationiSUs
better watch out for they have

Secretary Of the Treasury
Henry Morgenthau, jr., is in
search Of a couple Of flannel
shirts.
He has his old trousers, a
new fishing rod, lines and some
colorful flies.
Before long, he and Mrs.
M0rgenthau and the two chill
dren will head for a ranch near
Bozeman, Mont. The Secretary
has a fond hope that on the
ranch will be found peace and
quiet.
All he needs is the flannel
shirts.
At the ranch there will be
no phone to carry frantic mes
sages from washington or else
where. None can call and de-
mand to know how silver and
gold are doing.
Not having had a vacation
for some time, young Henry
hopes to get some rest while
fishing and riding in the Mon
tana hills.
If only he can get those flan-
mel shirts he will be all set.
He wants no visitors while he
is in Montana, has horror of
delegations calling and all that
sort of thing. All he wants is
two flannel shirts.
Everyone hopes that Henry
will get the shirts and have a
good time.
But there is one report that
is interesting.
Although MOrgenthau said he
didn't know it, that marvel Of
finance, Ogden L. Mills, former
Secretary of Treasury under
Hoover, is reported as planning
to vacation in Montana also.
He probably has his flannel
shirts and might lend Henry
one.
One of the greatest boons to
congressman is the privilege al
lowed by the House of Repre-
sentatives to it's members who
may issue all sorts of speeches
and campaign talk in post
session copies of the Congress
sional Record.
The fact that Congress has
passed into what has been
called history makes no differ
ence. The Record is published
just the same for several days
SO that Congressman may have
the privilege of having their
speeches printed in order that
they may be franked home to
constituents.
Pages are filled with glowing
praises and scathing denuncia-
tions.
Particularly evident are copi-
Gus addresses about the farmer.
Those gentlemen of the land
are lauded, praised, extolled.
They are told of all the benefits
they have received under the
New Deal.
They are reminded that their
position is excellent and that
they must hold out great hopes
for the future. All the talk is
merely the work of Congress
men trying to secure the farm
erS' vote.
Were one-half of the state
ments true, the farmer would be
the privileged class.
Judging from all the OppOsi-
ton to the AAA now in evidence
it probably would be a difficult
job even for one so convincing
as a Congressman to convince .
farmer that he belongs in that
group.

What has become Of the
gypsies?
Possibly it is because I have
lost my trousers-clips and don't
get to bicycling in the outlying
districts as much as I used to-
but I seldom hear Of the
gypsies now
In one way. however, I am
sorry that the gypsies, are no
longer a common sight, for I
have always wanted to write
an operetta, on the order OF
"The Bohemian Girl" in which
a band of gypsies, far from be-
ing nomads and kidnapers,
had absolutely refused to gypse
and had stayed in one place for
eleven or twelve years, much
to the disgust of the neighbor-
ing townsfolk. One of the
gypSies could even have run for
mayor.
AS there is no chance for an
operetta along these lines on
such an out-of date subject, I
might as well work up a movie
scenario on the subject, just

it for practically nothing to the

missing. Ard they were laughing
at her, all of them - all but
Hardy who was not, for the n:o-
ment, visible.
She felt a light touch on her
arm. A lazy. confident voice said
easily: "Wcll. this is a break. I've
been looking for YOU"
She felt her heart pound, her
pulses quicken. The Young man
in flannels, with the dark blue
double breasted jacket. the crest
of waving hair angrilv ironed
down, was Hardy WhitmOre.
She managed to say idly. ooh.
have you. honestly?'
Then they were dancing, swing
ing along together lightly and
gracefully to the tune Of that
sweetest and oldest Of waltzes.
"The Blue Danube" Boots had
not known dancing could be like
this. She, herself. danced as nat
urallv Is she walked. 1t was in
her blood. But she had never
danced, before, with anyone
whose step fitted her own SO per-
fectlv. Neither spoke. 1t was
perfect this way.
Almost before she realized what
was happening Hardy had danced
her out Of one of the long French
windows and onto the veranda.
1t was cool here. A light wind
bellied the sails that swung at
anchor Just around the point.
One or two yellow stars pricked
the blue darkness.
Hardy held her arm very tight
ly in his. lets grab ourselves
a boat" he said mickly. Lets
go for a buzz. It's too hot in
there"
Boots was tempted. To carry
Hardy away from the crowd, to
which she did not, tonight, be-
long, would be a grim triumph.
Mrs. Waterman's stern facade
rose up before her and she wav-
cred.
"Ah, come along! Be sport"
His face. flushed and hand
some, was close to her own. The
thrum Of the music came to her
dimly, the breeze cooled her hot
cheeks.
w-I think I'd better not"
"Ah, don't be silly" He had
her arm now and, almost without
knowing what it was she did, she
followed him down the broad
flight of shallow steps toward the
boat landing.

capably. This was one of her
good days" her daughters OBJ
served. with quiet satisfaction.
Mrs. Raeburn, she often said,
with a certain melancholy air OF
quiet pride, "was subject to bad
headaches" She was, further,
"nervous" and "delicate," and
her good days were, therefore,
things to be thankful for.
The two women spoke little
threading their way through
streets shaded by the rays Of the
late sun. Everywhere lawn
sprinklers played and small ch'l,,
dren, kept up beyond their usual
bedtime hour because of the heat
and daylight saving" played de-
liriously in side yards. 1t was all
very pleasant, very domestic and
peaceful. =.
"Have a good time, dear. "
Boots clutched her brief wrap of
brown chiffon velvet around her
and went swiftly up the Tagged
walk to the club. The doOrman
smiled at her.
"Evening, Miss Boots"
Mrs. Waterman, dOwager
with crisply marcelled silver haI
and a dynamic air of being equal
to any situation, trailed her
mauve chiffons toward the young
girl.
$50 nice you could come, my
dear. Ours is the table in The
west window. | always like to be
in the west window one sees
the sunset"
Boots, who knew the younger
set always chose the east room
because the long vernada gave
onto the sound, MAKING it pos
sible for endless flirtations to be
carried on under cover of star
light and the tapping waves, smil-
ed brightly in return. She ought
to be thankful, she reminded her
self sternly, that she was here at
all instead of being stuck at
home, curled up with a magazine.
Two OF three people waved to
her as she made her way through
the dining room, brave with Ian
terms and the club colors. She
saw Isabel in pale green, smiling
up at a tall young man in a white
mess packet, a scarlet GUNNER
bund around his slim waist. His
back was turned to her. but she
thought there was sometime:
vaguely familiar in the set of his
sleek, dark head. The moment
passed she could not recall
who he was, and in an instant
she was at Mrs. Waterman's to-
BILE, in the embrasure, and two
elderly, rubicund and smiling
gentlemen were vying for the
honor of drawing out her chair.
It was even as she had expect

gray looped and oily hair, sat be-
side Mr.. Waterman-old William
Francis himself. Vincent Paul
Hallihan, who taught English at
the high school and coached the
amateur PLAYERS in Shakespeare
in his spare time, was at her
right. For the rest, there were
a few vague persons whom Bocts
described in her own mind as
"wet understanding. well pre-
served ladies and gentlemen of
uncertain years and enthusiastic
aspect.
The dinner began. There was
fruit cup. There was soup. There
was fish in aspic. There was the
inevitable Joint Of chicken. with
discouraged spoonful Of peas.
There was limp salad. At long
last. to the tune of Marching
Along Together" during the
playing of which the owner of
the winning boat rose and bowed
tremendously to the assembled
company, there was an ice, gid
Oily pink and green formed in
the shane Of the club flag.
Boots lifted her demi-tasse and
languidly drank. Across the table
Miss Florida was cooling: Isn't
it a delightful party? Isn't it
too wonderful"
Mr.. Hallihan asked Boots TO
dance. One could do no less than
accept. She danced with him,
hating the slow, old-fashiOned
steps, feeling her cheeks hot rs
the intrepid Shakespcarcan scho-
lar steered her in the direction
of the East Room. She had hop
ed to avoid this-passing Sylvia
Rivers table-but now that the
moment was at hand she met it
with head up and eyes flashing.
Sylvia, in sheerest white with a
knot Of brown orchids on one
shoulder, looked cody past her.
but Isabel smiled and Patty nod
ded coolly and the boys said,
"Hello. Boots" as she danced Sc
dately past them. She could feel
the sting Of Sylvia's calm, dis
dainful,, unseeirg smile as she
passed.
Someone-it was the elder Ad-
rian bow who fancied himself as
bit of a master of ceremonies
at these affairs-silenced the or
chestra for a moment and an
nounced a "change partners in

Boots slipped out Of Mr.. Halli-
hans arms as the music stopped
and the drums "ta-ra-ra-ra" fill
ed the air. She still held her
head gallantly but with all her
soul she was wishing to be out of
this warm, crowded room with
its trailing. bunting, its confetti,
its tables in a confusion Of melt
ing ice and cooling coffee cups.
