Pennsylvania Democrats stole

There was a time when the
world had moral fiber and wore
heavy underwear. Then girls
with homing instincts tied on
frilly Swiss aprons when they
stirred up rabbit in a chat

mothers kitchen.
Now, the newest aid for
women who strive to. please the
opposite sex is again an apron
"a cocktail apron, in gay col
ors. It is made of rubber, is
ruffled, and has provocative
manner. Mrs. Ralph Sabin gave
cocktail aprons at card party
the other day to the players
who did not win prizes.

Madame Simopoulos. wife of

Mrs. James F. Curtis has a.
stunning black costume with
velvet revers of sapphire blue,
the precise shade of her eyes.
Mrs. Tracy DowS, guardian
angel of concert and symphony
artists, has a coat that would
make any fine woman Ill with
envy. It is of rust color, worsted,
cut rather like redingote, and
Is worn with a small black hat.
At 7:15 Monday night we
parked our new tan roadster
before our own front door. The
key was in the lock, we regret
to say.
At 7:3O the new tan roadster

Immediately we phoned De-
tective Sergeant Alligood.
Yesterday morning a gentle
man named Payne, with a
perfectly beautiful voice, 'phon-

Phyllis says she can't decide
which would give her greater

But then Phyllis is feeling

BYRNS WARNS HOUSE
OF !PORK BARREL CRY
Majority Leader Defends Public
Works Program After Re-
publican Attack. ~
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The House was warned yesterday by
Majority Leader Byrns not to give the
people opportunity to cry ''pork-barrel. ="
He spoke in defense Of the public works
program as an effective means OF
relieving unemployment.
The leaders admonition came after
Representative Christianson, Republi-
can. Of Minnesota, during debate on the
naval appropriations bill, called atten-
ton to earlier estimates of what 1t
costs to employ man year on a
public building project and said. 1T
seems to me the time has come for
Congress to consider whether the money
Is going as far as it ought to in rellev-
ing unemployment
Christianson said he was inclined to
believe too large a proportion of the
S3,300,000, 900 public works fund was
going ito enrich contractors and
materials men and not enough for
fuel, food and clothing for the needy"
He advocated having the Appropria-
tions Committee make definite allo-
cations to assure carrying on the civil
works program.

WNSON NAVY BILL
GIVEN APPROVAL
House Committee Will Try to
Attach It to Appropria.
tiOnS Measure.
Dy the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BY unanimous vote the House Naval
Committee today approved the Vinson
treaty Navy bill and decided to try to
attach it to the annual Navy appro-
priation bill now being considered In the
House proper with passage q certainty
by tomorrow at least.
1t had become plain q short time
earlier that once this bill was enacted,
prediction Of which was made by
Speaker Rainey, then the administration
would ask up to $25,000.000 to be
actually appropriated at this session for
q start on 20 new warShips
Eighteen of the IS Naval Committee
members were present when the bill was
reported.
On the motion of Representative
Britten. Republican of Illinois, Chair
man VinSon was directed to use every
means to get the bill through the
House.
Asks s76.Ooe. 900 Yearly.
The Vinson bill would call for the
expenditure Of around $76,O0O,OOO a
year for five years to bring the fleet up
to treaty limits in all categories and
replace present obsolete or obsolesent
vessels
All OF the modern ships. however,
could not join the fleet for six to seven
years. the committee was told by Ad-
miral William H. Standley, chief Of
naval operations.
There Is no question but that by not
building up to treaty strength we are
endangertng this country" Standley
testified.
He added that II the Vinson bill were
passed soon by Congress, the Navy
would seek deficiency appropriation OF
SIS. .000, ,006 to $25 ,000, 900 more to start
work before June.
That sum, he said, would permit In
ltial expenditures on IL deStroyers OF
1,500 tons. two destroyer leaders of
1900 tons and six submarines.
1o2 More Ships Required.
To have . fleet with all modern up
to-date vessels upon completion of the
program in 1899, STANDBY testified
would require the construction of l02
more ships.
That number, he asserted, would be
required in addition to the ships being
constructed with $238, 1000, 600 of public
works funds already allocated.
Standley said he regarded the Vinson
bill as being, perhaps. the most i'm
portant naval legislation since the
World War"

CINCINNATI, Ohio. January 23.-
Norman Thomas told a gathering here
last night that the N. r. A. obviously

failed to maintain its momentum; its

While peSSimistic in his views as to
what the Government can accomplish
by it's present methods, the Socialist
leader added: 1T has been proved
that courage. decision and action still
have their place in American life"
He gave the N. R. A. codes credit
for some re-employment-"not much
and hours and wages were helped
little"
"One Of the N. r. AS best results"
he said at the Wise -Rockdale Forum.
was In ending child labor in the cot

WyNEK0OP Staying
MAY CO UNSOLvED
Many Believe Woman PhySl'

Face Trial. :
~ the Associated Press.

~ Inc hSSOClhteQ FIcoS.
CHICAGO, January 23.-There was
d growing belief in some quarters today
that the death of Rheta Wynekoop will
forever remain an unsolved mystery.
The possibility of a quick legal de-
cision on the question of the guilt or
innocence of Rheta'S motherin-l
Dr. Alice Wynekoop having been disSi-
pated for the time being. there were
many persons. both in an out of the
CRIMINAL Court who believed the elder
ly defendant would never again face
the ordeal of a trial.
ITS just like freeing her" Burdine
Gardner of Indianapolis, father of the
dead Rheta. said in commenting on
yesterdays decision by Judge Joseph B.
David to declare a mistrial because of
the possibility that Dr. Wynekoop would
fall dead before the eyes Of the jury
Il don't believe" Gardner said. that
she will ever be tried now. for if her
condition is as bad as they say it is she
won't be any better next month than
she is today. In the interest Of JUS
tice I feel that she should have been
tried now"
The case was continued, meanwhile
10 the February term Of court, Judge
David having held that the danger of
death of DR.. Wynekoop was of greater
Importance than the States demand
that the trial be finished.
A hint from the prosecution, voiced
By Assistant States Attorney Charles
S. Dougherty, served to strengthen the
belief that DR.. Wynekoop may never
again face jury.
we agree" he said. with the de-
fenSe that the Summoning of the de-
fendant to her maker in the presence
Of this court would be a sorry spectacle.
But we maintain it would be a Sorrler
spectacle if the murder for which she
was indicted should go unpunished.
For if this woman is not tried now,
she may never be tried"
But for DR.. Wynekoop. who is Suf-
fering from a heart ailment. with COM
plications, the respite apparently was
more than welcome.
Thank God" she said as she lay on
her bed in the county Jail infirmary.
This will give me chance to rest"

gested that the power to fiex the gold

also, would be the recipient Of too
much power and responsibility" for one
man unless . change was made in the
section giving the Treasury Secretary
sole control over the proposed $4,000

At the same time Capper spoke ap-
