banking situation. From then on he
pursued a policy designed to help I
everybody In the Republic. It rescued
the farmers from despair; it put mtly !,
lions Of men back to work; IL lighted
the furnaces of thousands of mills,
and factories that had been cold for !
years; 1t brought the income of our
people up by billions Of dollars an

ports made by our citizens Themselves =
Sufficient time Is not available to
permit fuller review of the subjects
which have engaged the attention Of
the Congress during the session that
is closing. There have been enacted
many laws which there is no oppor-
tunity now to outline and discuss and
some Of them are Of notable conse-
quence. We have labored diligently
and earnestly with the single purpose
Of advancing the public welfare. Ia.
I do not say that mistakes have not
been made. In q program Of such
magnitude errors are inevitable, bat
how small and trif1ing these seem IN
comparison with the result. This ad-
miniStration Is being subjected to m
tense criticism, which is understand
able considering the approach Of next
years election. Our President has
been charged with everything from
communism to despotisn1, and yet you
cannot pick up daily paper that does
not reflect q rise in the stock market,
an increase in profits. a resumption OF
dividends; in fact, every manifestation
that tells of country bound back to
prosperity. Criticism is often made,
but it is usually without one word Of
constructive suggestion, one idea Of
a substitute program. I am proud of
the record made by the Congress,
proud of the part 1t has played in the
accomplishment that has brought us
so far toward contentment. 1t is my
belief that when history writes its
review Of the legislation Of this Con-
gress it will be made clear that the
laws enacted at this session were for
the greatest good to the greatest
number.

confidently believed will stand the
test of Supreme Court decision, that
win give employees who are 65 years of
age and who have completed 80 years
OF service the opportunity TO retire.
While legislation was passed at the
past session singing out benefits TO
the cotton producers. we have also
enacted legislation benefiting tobacco
growers along with other agricultural
products. The bill amending the
agricultural adjustment act Is among
the most important passed. In short,
the session Just closing has performed
an enormous amount Of necessary
work.
There was little excitement, there
was little publicity to most of these
bills, though each Of them represents
necessary improvements In our statute
books.
$4,000 Bills Presented.
1t may perhaps give you an idea Of
how Congress kept busy seven months
when I tell you that there was pre-
scented In the House of Representatives
10000 bills and resolutions and in the
Senate nearly 1000. During the same
period there were considered nearly
$4,000 nominations.
Much Of the legislation, Of course, is
supplementary to the laws passed in
the session last year. As experience
developed weaknesses in the structure
Of these laws the errors were corrected.
The rulings Of the Supreme Court, of
course, compelled more legislation
aimed to bring the ordinances in con-
formity with that tribunals decisions.
It Is now possible 10 take q COM
prehensive view Of the New Deal, to
estimate what the advent Of President
Roosevelt has meant to our country.

in March, 1888, when he arrived in
Washington. Promptly on his in
auguration Congress plunged into the

ROBBERS
|. EVADE CHASE

Two youthful holdup men who
robbed two liquor stores and q
customer in one Of the stores
last night, escaped a policeman
who gave chase for two miles.
The holdup men first entered
the liquor store Of Daniel Gudorf,
in the 5000 block Georgia Ave.
N. W., and robbed him Of $50.
A short while later they entered
the store Of Harry Dovkin, in the
1900 block Pennsylvania Ave.
S. E., where they forced the
proprietor to hand over $1S5.
John M. Bolton, of the 1900
block Twenty-fifth Pl. s. E., a
customer in the store, was robbed
of $50 in cash and check, but
Clarence w. Hayes, Of Chevy
Chase, Md, another customer,
threw his wallet under an ice
chest.
The holdup men escaped in an
automobile, which they abandoned
at North Capitol and H Streets,
after it had crashed into the curb.
Two youths who are believed to
be responsible for a series Of
auto thefts were arrested by
Tenth Precinct Policeman D. ].
Murphy, who was off duty, when
he saw them in an automobile he
recognized as having been re-
ported stolen.
At the Fifth precinct, the
youths gave their names as John

What puzzled him most of all was
the so-called accident. Perhaps it
was an accident. after all. And the
one thing that he could not get over
was Molly's sneaking out down the
fire-escape. That indicated guilt
Why had she been back there?

that you would, but I never expected
that you would believe them"

them. Let's not discuss it, Molly-it

you get into the idle hands class for

Molly Marston. happily engaged to
Tom Austin, is frightened when he
finds her at Mrs. Parker's home at an
afternoon party and loses his temper
because she is dancing with Duane
Winfield, who is rotter. Hearing
that Winfield threatens to kill Tom
she goes to his studio to warn him to
let Tom alone. Mrs. Lang, another
acquaintance, is hiding there at the
time. After Molly departs heavy
ornamental club falls on Winfield.
Mrs Lang thinks he is dead and flees
by the fire-escape. Tom is tipped
off about MOlly's visit and goes to the
studio. He is accused of numbering
Winfield and he hides, on advice of
his lawyer. When cornered, Mrs.
Lang lies and says it was Molly who
left by the fire-escape. -. ........

"Why-why-that's so-you have at
least that much right, Molly. I will
come over at once"
He detected sounds of sobbing and
finally, quite brokenly, Molly said,
"You need not trouble-it is too late
you already believe things against me
without giving me chance to defend
myself-even a murderer gets that
chance-I@"
A sob choked her. She hung up.
Tom tried to get her again but the
report came that the party did not
! answer.
He tried to get Molly by telephone
the next day and was told by her sis
ter-in-law that Miss Marston would
not talk with him. Then he called,
and was told the same thing.
Several days passed and he finally
wrote to Molly. He stated frankly
that he had been wrong in not letting
her tell her story and he finished with
this line:
81 can see now that despite all the
seeming proof against you, it is wrong
You wouldn't have wanted to see me
and have me hear your side if your
skirts weren't clean. Now, regardless
of the whole matter, want to forget

he got back to his office Mr.. Lang
was there. He was decidedly grim.

He wouldn't explain anything, so
Tom went with him.

Lang said. "Now neither you nor
I could reach it. How do you sup
pose Miss Marston could reach it,"
"She couldn't. Probably it was an
