fans by the very tournament designed

staged by Dan Suttenfield at 2435
Massachusetts, avenue. although it was
the young promoters original intention
to reveal only tennis players hitherto
kept in the background.
Probably had not Bennett pulled one
of the major upsets Of the local net

Junior champion, Nathan Ritzenberg,

known.

Strong Appeal in
Braided Rag Rug
BY GRANDMOTHER CLARK

Braided rugs appeal to many rug
makers because the work is simple
and requires no tools. They. how
ever, are not as durable as the GRO
cheted rug. owing to the fact that the
braided strands are sewed together,
and for this reason we advise to sew
with a strong waxed thread.
The above PIN Wheel rug meas
ures 81 inches and requires about 4
pounds of cotton rag rug material.
The center section has a black back
ground and the 8 section design is
white. The outer circle and inner
center are of hit-and-miss mixed
colors.
Cut strips 11a inches wide. Fold
edges under and then fold again TO
make a strip about onc-half inch
wide. Use three strips in braidinr
Start in the center and sew 8 rows
of braid around, keeping work fiat
Start next row on opposite side OF
where the previous row ended. Work
around, changing colors for 9 rows,
as illustrated. To change color sew
strips of new color desired to the
ones in use. Start again at different
place for s outside rows, then sew on
the last row separately. This rug
has &c rows.
If you are interested in making
rag rugs, send 15c TO our Rug De-
partment for book No. %, which on
tains 20 rugs In braiding and crochet.
Instructions are given with each rug,
also directions for braiding and cro-
cheting rugs and how to prepare your
rags into strips to get the best results.

end of his second year In Office faces
a predicate In his relations to congress
similar TO that which confronted Mr..
Hoover In 1891.
Unless he reGains control his entire
program Is likely to bog down. The
fight hinges on the S4,SS0 ,0O0.O00 work
relief program. the first item in the
Presidents budget message and the
principal mainstay of his program. Sc
cret conferences at which slices of
pork were reported to have been dan
gled before the avid eyes of revolving
senators were said to have been held.
A few supporters of the McCarran
prevailing wage amendment which
mission to the appropri rs commit
tee were said to be wavering under
the pressure. Senator Robert F.. Wag-
ner, who voted for the amendment. act
ed as peacemaker. He intimated the
possibility of a compromise by paying
more than the so-called security wage
of $50 a month, but still lower than
the prevailing rates. Other leaders de
clared they would not bulge from their
positions.
Secretary Ickes has been no help
to the President In quelling the re-
volt. In his recent testimony, Ickes was
reluctant TO tell a senate committee
about ALLEGATION of 1898, 900, 1000 for a
naval shipbuilding program. The sen
ators finally pried out information
which would indicate that the navy
and the spectators knew all about the
appropriation, but none of the men,
bers of congress knew about 1t. The
money was to be spent at executive
discretion, and senators feel this does
not auger well for the proposal to
hand to Mr.. Roosevelt unlimited power
in spending the proposed five billion
dollar appropriation.
Since next year will bring another
Presidential election, a third of the
senators will be up for reelection, and
all of the house members. They are
watching closely the present situation
because, If the President is slipping.
they want their own records back home
in good order.

sharp rap that threatens the great

CONSTIPATION
Can be Helped!
(Use What Doctors do)

Why do the bowels usually move
regularly and thoroughly, long after
q physician has given you treatment
for constipation?
Because the doctor gives a liquid
laxative that can always be taken in
the right amount. You can gradually
reduce the dose. Reduced dosage is
the secret Of real and safe relief from
constipation.
Ask your doctor about this. Ask
your druggist how popular liquid
laxatives have become. The right
liquid laxative gives the right kind
of help, and the right amount of help.
When the dose is repeated. instead Of
more each time, you take less. Until
the bowels are moving regularly and
thoroughly without any help at all.
The liquid laxative generally used
is DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. 1t
contains SIENNA and cascara, and
these are natural laxatives that form
no habit - even in children. Your

Francois wrote against time. An unpleasant

Expecting no visitors. he had permitted
himself certain carelessness of attire. His
thin body was barely covered with tight

neck and both garments mud-stained, as
though Master Francois had recently rolled
in the street. His long face was likewise un-
washed, and his hair tousled; yet even thus
reduced, he was something to look at. He had
an air. His elbows, as he spread them on the
table, were witty.
Now and then he glanced up at the barred
windows to mark the speed of the western
sun. After each glance he wrote faster. When
at last he heard the clank of the jailer's keys
in the corridor outside, his speed became
frantic.
