"Scavengers" After Huey

Members of a "savenger party" sprinkled with congressman and debutantes, the other night were called upon to produce "one Of Huey Longs calling cards"
 Huey was out of town, but Earle Christenberry, his secretary, was pcstered for hours with visits and telephone calls at his apartment.
 It turned out that the King fish possessed no such thing as a calling card. Most of the boys and girls wcr cwlIling to take envelopes and other Da- pcrs with the senator's name thereon.
 But some cOuplc-it isn't clear just which - bcthought nameplatc off Hucy's door at the Senate office building.
 From the same place someone else took the typwritten notice, since replaced, which says:
 We are sorry. but until we dis pose of extremely heavy mail our office will be open for visitors from 1 to o'clock only"
 Parenthesis No. 1 Huey is the only senator who limits his office hours 50 narrowly. The others let you see their secretaries for from two to ten hours a day.
 Parenthesis No. 2: Secretary Ickcs has his own private "scaven- ger party" the quarry being noth- ing less than Huey's scalp. His wisecracks at the Kingflsh improve the Ickes standing with the White House, which is happy to have him exercising his gifts for invective on an enemy instead of on some one else within New Deal ranks.
 Some of the choicest ones he has hurled at Huey recently como not from the brain of Ickes, but as contributions from his subordi- mates, who are all busy thinking up new ones for him. Even so, Harold is still the best snoth-caster in town. -s

Americans Listed On
 France's Honor Roll
General Pershing Among Wearers of Grand Cross
 Awards-Seven Queens Also Recognized

Among the Americans distin- guIshed by tho Grand Cross arc General John J. Pershing, Frank E. Kellogg, w. $. Benson and Gem eral Tasker IT. Bliss, Edward Tuck, prominent benefactor of France, and Ambassadors, Wallace, Sharp and Myron T. Herrick also wear Grand Crosses.
 Women come in for their share of honors in the present total. Seven, ali of them queens and for- mer queens, are decorated with the Grand Cross, three are Com manders, 50 are officers and 956 are Chevaliers.
 In 1874, 12 years after the or- der was instituted, the total was 3O,747. In September, 1870 the number increased to 7S,145 but the number was reduced to 43,760 in June, 1903. May, 1914 showed a total of 50,067, and was almost doubled by May, 1921 with 94,635. The highest increase was shown at the end of December, 1893 with 175,182. Since then the order has been increased by only 6,705.
 World War Caused Increase
 The major reason for the pres- ent huge total Is the World War. Any person who received a military medal, was given a higher mili- tary ranking, was severely wound ed or awarded a pension was eligi- ble for decoration in the Legion of Honor. Only recently, women were admitted to the order.
 Napoleon instituted 1t as an order of merit for rewards for military and civil services. It was ostensibly founded for the protec- tion of republican principles with every social grade equally ,eligi. ble. Various changes were made by successive executive powers, the most notable in 1852 when a fifth grade was added.

BY PAUL MAY

Washington, D. G. April 26- Using as weapons two bills he has introduced, Representative J. Jo- seph Smith has declared war on bootleggers and those who refill liquor bottles for sale again.
 One of the bills would authorize the secretary of the treasury to regulate the size, design, type, con- struction Gncluding methods Of opening and clpsing), branding, marking, sale, resale, possession, release, use and reuse of containers designed or intended for use for the sale at retail of distilled spir- it's. This would apply to containers of a capacity of less than five wine gallons, and for other than\ \indus- trial use.
 Purpose of Bill
 The bill would also authorize the secretary to require of persons manufacturing, dealing in or using any such containers to submit their records and to file q bond or other security and such reports as he might deem advisable.
 The purpose of this bill along with the other he introduced is to bring about the use of a cap or top on the battles, he said, that would render the bottle unfit for use again once it had been opened. He stated that this device would not affect the keeping of the contents in the bottle would render it in such shape that 1t could not be used again without it being noticeable and obvious that the seal had been

 Washington - Our little brown brothers learn the processes or civilization--when they want to.
 For instance, the technique of trying to get relief money into the hands of the local politicians. The administration has been having trouble with that in Louisiana and Georgia, where by some singular coincidence the regnant political machines happen to be violently against MT Roosevelt.
 The administration also had trouble down in Puerto Rico, where 1t may be spending 40 to 50 mil lion dollars before it finishes is prposed rehabilitation program.
 The Puerto Rican legislature passed an act which would have put the money under control of a corporation officered by island poli- ticians, Fortunately the governor down there Is q presidential ap- pointee and listens to reason.
 Assistant Secretary of the h. terior oscar l.. Chapman wired Governor Winship, urging him to veto the bill. Winship did. Loud cries of dictatorship arose from the Puerto Rican politicians. The legislature went Ion strike"
 Now Resident Commissioner Francisco A. Delgado of the Philip pines, where no such program is contemplated, has written to Chap man.
 You do not look like dictator to me-" he says. "rhe Philippines will be delighted to receive any money whatever to be spent under any conditions you suggest"

0. K. As Is, Farley View

Anyone here who has a trace of cynicism or suspicion in his sys- tenn will tell you that MT Farley's Postoffice Department administra- ton isn't interested in passage Of any bill to take the postoffice out of politics." such as Roosevelt di- rected Farley to prepare Q year or more ago.
 Least ol all Is 1t interested, from any friendly point of view, in the drastic bill to that end
 fathered by Senator George Nor-
 ris of Nebraska.
 Norris finally dragged out of Farleys department report on the various bills purporting to end the postal services career as a huge patronage pie counter.
 Usually, in such cases, the bills are analysed and objections or ap- provals registered. But Farley didn't bother about that. He just said he favored the O'Mahoney bill, which has been attacked on the ground that 1t would load the potsal service up entirely with democrats and freeze them into their Jobs.

 The second bill would prohibit the use of tho bottles or containers unless the device Is attached and would provide for a fine not to ex- ceed $1,0O0 or Imprisonment not to exceed five years or both for violating the act.

FALLS CHURCH. Va, August 81
The old, tumbled-down cabin Of Tru-
man Brush, the last male member OF
an old Virginia family, who was muir
dered Friday for the money he was
known to have hidden, gave up part
of its hoard late yesterday when q
searching party, making third effort
to unearth the cache, found "a large
sum" in currency stuffed in two tin
cans and a cardboard box.
What was not found, however. was
the two-quart can Of pennies with
which the aged recluse was recently
seen.
Mr.. BruSh'S will was also found yes
terday in an old chest Of drawers.
Mayor L. P. Daniel of Falls Church,
a kinsman Of the slain man, would not
reveal the contents Of the document
or the amount of the currency I'M
earthed. One can was secreted in
the planking between the second and
first floors; a second can buried in
the floor of q small closet, and the box
covered over with large pile Of old
cans in the room where Brush cooked
