LET'S GO HOME
BY BRASwELL DRUE DEEM
g Ranrasanfativa from Georgia

U. S. Representative from Georgia.
THERE are many reasons why
i the house and senate should
quickly adjourn this session of
the Seventy-fourth congress. Chief
among the reasons is the fact that
more than 20 of our colleagues-to be
exact, 26-are now either in hospitals
or at their homes suffering from heart
trouble or nervous breakdown. This
congress has worked long, and faith
fully, and well, and, personally, l in
sist that the senate bring it's business
quickly to an end so that we may
agree on the matters that must be
agreed upon between the house and
the senate, and that all future hear
ings on house bills, many of which
am for, be extended until a session in
the fall or the next session beginning
in January. This share-the-wealth,
soak-the-rich and save-the-poor legis-
lation, some of which / am in favor
of, can wait six months longer, because
the rich will not get too rich in a few
more months, and the wealth can then
be shared and the poor are being taken
care of now, and I am personally ap-
pealing to the membership of the
house to let US adjourn this session
Immediately.

What Is Wealth?

A woman has said in court that
with 100000 to her name she would
not call herself rich. In another
court a bankrupt said that he did
not feel wealthy on $4,000 a year
and sometimes was very hard up.
An actress who had more than $780,
600 a year has told how she had to
spend $4,000. These people have
missed a lot of fun. A man who
feels rich because he has a dollar
in his pocket is fifty times as well
off as any of them. His is grand
and glorious feeling. = Manchester

PREPARING FOR WAR
By DAVID LLOYD GEORGE
Former British Prime Minister.

was in the business before 1914.
Then every one as now was talking
about peace, but every one just as
now was preparing feverishly for war.
The nations were maneuvering for war
positions. Watch-for it is going on
now. Each of them was as certain az
now that their conduct was actuated
by sincere desire for peace and that
their ornaments were intended exclu-
sively for defense.

Printer Guards
Opinion on Gold
Supreme Court Trust
of Secrecy Observed
by TradeSmdn.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The sphinx is a babbling gossip
compared to Charles E. Bright, Su-
preme Court printer, whose job it is
to make copies of the gold case deci-
sion.
Bright is one of the Capitals mystery
men. He lives in self-impoSed OBJ
scruity because Of his ethical rela-
tionship with the court.
Perhaps the only man in the coun-
try outside of the nine justices and
maybe their secretaries who will know
the outcome ahead of the Nation,
Bright can be counted on to guard
the secret Zealously.
Although he has been the courts
printer as far back as the memory
of present attaches goes. he transacts
his business with the justices or their
law clerks alone. They give him the
typewriter manuscripts, and he re-
turns the printed opinions to their
hands.
His method of guarding against
leaks is known only to him and the
court Popular supposition has 1t
that he cuts each opinion into short
takes" which are set up in type by
few trusted assistants No take"
would in itself reveal the decision. One
rumor says he sets the last important
paragraph or so himself Just before
the forms are locked.
So averse to all talking is he that
he won't even reveal his personal
history.
II he has already received the opin-
ion to print, he isn't working nights
at it. His office was dark, with no
sign Of activity, after business hours
yesterday.

VALLEE THREATENS.
TO PUNCH LAWYER.
Even Judge Wants to Fight
After Attorney Pleads
for Dismissal.

NEW YORK, February 9.-What
started out to be fireworks in the
Rudy Vallee court drama subsided to-
day while Justice Salvatore A. Cotillo
pondered a motion by Vallee's coun-
sci to dismiss his wife's suit for abro-
CATION of their separation agreement
The proceedings. which have been
marked by some cauStic verbal ex-
changes by oppohing counsel, threat
ened to blow up completely toward
the end of yesterdays session when
Rudy himself aimed blow at the
flushed face Of Benjamin A. Hart
sein, assistant counsel for Mrs. Fay
Webb vallee. Only the quick inter-
ference by bystanders prevented what
might have been free-for-all.
Rudy Cocks Fist.
Rudy's outburst came Just after
Justice Cotillo announced he would
reserve decision on the dismissal
motion until Wednesday morning. At
that court. attaches and others began
to file out of the court room and
Vallee crossed over to talk to news
paper men.
Hartsein stepped from the counsel
table and said to Vallee:
You're not in the films now"
Rudy turned, and with clenched
fists, drew back his left hand as If to
swing at Hartsein, who dodged as
several persons in the court room
came between them.
Then both turned to Justice Cotillo
and Hartstein said:
Il was just adjusting my papers
when this gentleman sneaked up on
me and"
"Oh, no he didn't" remarked the
judge. Il saw Mr.. Vallee and he
didn't sneak up on you"
Apologies to Judge.
Vallee explained he thought court
had adjourned. He apologized to JUS
tice Cotillo but not to Hartstein.
About that time Justice Cotillo
spotted Benjamin C. Cohn, Mrs. VAL
lees California lawyer, taking notes.
yes. Mr.. California" he said, 81
closely and you'll probably get enough
AIdICI ldl AOI GIL dlAQdNII.
Il resent the implication Of that
remark" Cohn shouted.
I'D like to meet you somewhere
after this trial Is over" said Justice
Cotillo. I'D like to meet you some
where in New Jersey: that's just across
the ferry"
Anywhere you say, your honor"
Cohp opeuarad "Nou, VorL Nau, Tar
sey or California"
Throw him out" the court told
attendants. He doesn't belong here"
Cohn left between two officers of
the court.
Reserves Decision on Motion.
The motion for dismissal was
argued by Samuel Gottlieb. associate
counsel for Vallee, after Thomas L.
Sheridan, counsel for Mrs Vallee. had
rested his case without calling her to
the stand.
Gottlieb argued that her failure to
take the stand was proof of her re-
alization that she could not support
her charges. Mrs. Vallee contends the
separation agreement giving her 500
week should be set aside on the
ground that Vallee concealed his
assets at the time the agreement was
signed.
Vallee's average income for the last
three years was placed at $4,000 a
year in testimony yesterday, and JUS
tice Cotillo remarked that "all things
being equal% an allowance of slO0 a
week out of $4,000 did not seem
fair.
The hearings will be resumed We'd
