Major M. E. Knowles OF Helena, for
merly and for many years state vet
erinarian OF Montana and connected
with General Pershings headquarters
overseas, is a staunch champion Of the
horse in war. At the forefront Of the
fight, where the truck could not get
through and where the army's adj
vance depended so much on the for
warding OF munitions and supplies, the
horse and the mule were relied upon
exclusively. And so poorly equipped was
the veterinary department and so sew

LONDON R.-Every great power
in Europe has some type Of ''mys-
terry" plane in project or under de-
velopment. League of Nation ex-
perts at Geneva regard this as indi-
cative of the vast progress being
made in Europe for new and more
devastating air forces.
The general belief prevails In
Geneva that swifter progress is being
made in aviation technique than in
land or sea ornaments.
Experts here generally believe any
future war will be fought first, If not
finally decided, in the air. and that
lasting advantages will go to the ma
ton best prepared to strike hardest
upon the outbreak of hostilities.

Talk Of Keeping 1t Brief and Quiet

ers and administration aids at the
Capitol hastened to berate the pro-
posal of Senator Borah that Congress
remain here this Fall and dispose Of
the Frazier Lemke farm mortgage
refinancing bill and the bonus bill.
Of course, the Borah plan will not
be followed. Senator Borah, how
ever, emphasizes what is undoubtedly
true-that these two issues must be
met by Congress. They will be forced
to a vote next session If not now.
Hence, he maintains, they might bet
ter be dealt with now than shunted
over to the campaign period.
Advocates of the Frazier-Lemke bill
involving imitation, or at least refia-
tion, and the bonus bill, also involv-
ing imitation, have not the slightest
intention of -curbing their activities
They plan to make intensive drives
next session If they are baked this
session.
The hackers of the Frazier -Lemke
bill, an actual majority of the House,
stirred to wrath because the House
Democratic organization has induced
certain signers of the discharge petit
ton for the bill to withdraw their
names, are more than ever bent on
going forward with their program.
But other matters on the horizon
appear even more troublesome and
worrisome to the Democratic leaders
and the rank and file in the two
houses. Most serious are the swelling
expenditure of the Government and
the rapidly expanding public debt.
1t is now clear that the coming ses-
sion will be called on by the ad-
ministration for a large additional
appropriation to keep the expanded
machinery Of Government going and
meet further the costs of works and
relief. That appropriation, accord
ing to preliminary figures under con-
sideration BY officials, is likely to be

DEMAND of Senator William

DEMAND Ol OtHdIOI WluldHl
~ E. Borah, insurgent Republic
~ an of Idaho that Congress
4 a remain in Washington to No
vember 1, if need be, to finish its
work, has brought out more clearly
the difficulties ahead of the next
session of Congress.
Just at time when there was some
talk in administration quarters of
making next Winters session brief
and quiet, to avoid adding to the
troubles of the 1896 presidential cam
paign, Senator Borah's demand, with
other recent developments. has made
it plain that the next session will be
charged with all manner of political
dynamite.
Moreover, it may prove to be a
long session. It is sure to reek with
partisan discussion, and there are
growing indications that q series of
measures will be forced to the front
which will be embarrassing for the
administration with a presidential
campaign just ahead, and embarrass-
ing for members of Congress who seek
reelection, especially Democratic
members.
Smells Remarks indicative.
The intensity of partisan discus
sion which may be looked for next
Winter, or in the latter part of this
session If it should be much pro-
longed, is indicated by recent remarks
of Representative Bertrand H. Smell,
Republican leader of the House, in
which he suggested impeachment of
the President because of alleged vio-
lation of his oath to support the
Constitution.
OF course, the idea that Mr.. Roose-
welt is to be put through the expert
ence of Andrew Johnson in the tragic
era" of reconstruction times, with its
rancors and hatreds, is not taken
seriously, but Mr.. Smells remarks
show the increasing intensity Of the
direct criticism of the President.

which involve convenience and COM
fort, but he is oftentimes creating a
false impression with his customer
when he advertises the speed posi-
bility of the new car.
The other day 1 saw an advertise
ment for one of the new models
offering a guarantee that the car
would travel 100 miles an hour. This.
in my opinion, is the wrong kind of
advertising and if such advertising
continues believe that the time will
soon arrive when the Legislatures and
Congress will make it illegal to stress
the speed possibility of the various
models or any speed which is greater
than that which is legal in the par
ticular State in which the advertise
ment occurs.
Evening star., 1935-07-28

The Eastern Conference of Motor
Vehicle Administrators, which is COM
posed of all the motor vehicle COM
missioners in the Northeastern part
of the United States, became very
much exercised over this form of ad-
vertising. At their meeting in 1884
and again in 1885 they passed a
resolution condemning speed adver-
tising. This resolution is as follows:
Therefore be and it is hereby re-
solved: That this conference go on
record in recommending to their sew
eral Legislatures to pass laws making
it illegal to advertise auto speed
greater than the legal and safe speed
in that State"
One reason why the motor vehicle
administrators are so much concerned

have shown that the fears Of q timber
shortage which inspired the bill in
the first instance, were groundless.
Does not all this raise proper ques-
ton as to whether legislation de-
signed to regiment the coal industry
along governmental lines Is based
upon sound premises?
