the mountain peaks between the Mex

not seen at the oil port. nor was she
reported by radio. Observers knew,
however, that she expected to be above
10000 feet as she crossed the shore
line out over the gulf for her $50 mile
hop over the water to New Orleans.
Passing over New Orleans, she COM
municated by radio with the Depart

then flew swiftly along the airways OF
American Air Lines and Eastern Air
Lines. AS she swooped over Hoover
airport, Washington, Eugene Vidal, d.
rector O. the air commerce bureau, ra-
dioed: "You have done splendid job,
so come down." But Amelia replied,
with thanks for the invitation, that she
was going on through. And that is
what she did.

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT strongly
l resented the criticism Of his New
Deal policies by the Chamber of Com,
merce of the United States, and re-
torted by calling to the White House
Secretary Roper's business planning
and advisory council for an endorse
ment of MIRA extension and the social
securities program. Then to the news
paper correspondents Mr.. Roosevelt
scored the action of the chamber, as
sorting that in too many cases so-called
business organizations misrepresent
the business men for whom they claim
to speak, and that he did not believe
a single speech made at the chambers
meeting contained any mention Of the
human side of the picture. He de-
clared the business organizations were
not Indicative of the mass belief and
that he would go along with the great
bulk of the people.
Several members of the business adj
visory council were also members of
the Chamber of Commerce, and it Is
said they resented the Presidents ac-
ton in seemingly using them to offset
the attack by the chamber.

One of Longs favorite ways Of
launching his diatribes is to rise to
question of personal privilege, and
Clark proposes that in this respect the
senate rules be changed to conform
with those of the house. In that body

Stating that whether or not this
country still owes less to other nations
than they owe to it appears to depend
on the true value of defaulted war
debts, Mr.. Peek recommends these i'm
mediate steps:

study of our direct investments abroad
and foreigners direct investments in
the United States, to supplement the
studies now in progress Of capital
movements.
so. A review of all national policies
based in whole or in part upon our In
ternational creditor status"
The proposal seems to lead toward
high tariffs and policy of allocating
our foreign trade among other nations,
as is done by many Of the European
countries.
Figures compiled by Mr.. Peek indl-
cate that the United States is a net
international creditor by $16,S97, 0OO,-
600, but this includes $1,000, 000,0 600,
principal amount of war debts owed
by foreign governments, and also for
eign bonds held by private investors
in the United States invoiced at their
face value, and pre-depression esti-
mate of the value of American branch
factories abroad and other direct in
vestments in foreign countries. Mr..
Peek strongly infers that re-estima-
ton of these assets" will result in
such a scaling down that this country
will no longer be creditor nation and
need not act as such.
FOLLOWING a lively debate the
L house passed the omnibus banking
bill, which rewrites the federal reserve
act so as to make virtual central bank
out of the reserve system, with power
to manipulate monetary policies for the
purpose of promoting business stabil-
ity. The final vote, after various
amendments had been rejected, was 271
to 40.
In the senate the measure will be
strongly combatted, with Senator Car
ter Glass leading the opposition. Glass
wrote the banking bill during the Will
son administration, and he objects to
having the system tempered with by

taken as a certainty and it was be-
lieved the infationists could not gather
enough votes to override the veto in
the senate, though they had enough in

Rather surprisingly, Senator William
G. Meade of California, a former sec

JENNY-A SCHIZOPHRENIC IALE
vENNY was a charWoman. Her
dress was plain, perhaps palmer
and baggier than most. Her
~ coat was shabby, her shoes
cracked and run down at sides
and heels. But Jenny was different
she never wore hat.
Thus one saw her hair first. 1t was
not beautiful, you would say at once
then, looking again, say, "but there is
so much Of it, and it is so black. And
see how it mounts, higgledy-piggledy
upon her head!"
It certainly followed no mode OF
coiffure. Beginning at the neck. 1t
wiSped out here and there and at the
high part of the nape 1t rolled aloft
in buns and whorls. Finally, gather
ing momentum, it broke into an
hirsute tower and rushed to a quick
finish in a few loose tufts at the top.
For a month Jenny startled the
head charwoman with the speed of
her mop welding and dust-rag fiaunt-
ing. Jenny always finished her part
of the work 80 or IS minutes before
the other charwomen.
Then came the night when she
asked appealingly: "Mayn't go home
when I finish my work? It's only a
half hour early" Why not, thought
the head charwoman, and permission
was granted.
But why? Jenny herself revealed
the answer.
She wanted that extra time for
sleep. For. during the day. Jenny
needed poise, clear eyes and the
beauty that only rest can give. Jenny
spends her days combing her blue
black hair in any fashion that style
