Mouse bind the stems of the daisies
together with strong strings Of
grass. Soon the chain began to
take shape and form.
"Why, it really looks like a
chain" said Uncle Wiggily. "'Of
course it hasn't links, as iron
chains and tire chains have, but it
is long, like chain, and it is
round like a chain.'

"It isn't as strong as an iron

"Daisies are tender flowers and
while many Of them, tied together,

"No, suppose not" said Uncle
Wiggily. So he kept on picking
daisies with the smaller children

JANE ADDAMS OF HULL HOUSE

Americas Foremost Woman Citizen
title which she never claimed but which
was given to her by thousands of admir-
ers here and abroad, and to which her
long life of service to humanity rightly
entitled her, died yesterday.
She was Jane Addams, but that name
is not quite complete As Jane Addams
of Hull House she achieved international
fame. and yet there are millions of her
own countrymen to whom her name
means nothing. so self-effacing was this
remarkable woman.
Nearly half a century ago she was a
young woman with social background
and education which fitted her for what,
for want of a better term, we call 80
ciety." She might have done what thou
sands of young women of her time did
make the most of the advantages which
her station in life had brought her. In
stead she heard the call Of suffering and
miserable humanity and answered it.
Hull House was the answer she gave
and Hull House and the work which it
and hundreds of institutions patterned
after it did, are her monument
What is Hull House? Nothing more
than what we know as a settlement GEN.
ter or social center 1t represents
the pioneer effort in this country to
bring something of happiness, some
thing of peace, something of help into the
drab lives and the squalor of the teem-
ing masses of a large city.
1t is on Halsted street in the midst of
Chicagos west side For nearly so
years it has been bringing a bit of bright
ness comfort and assistance to thousands
of poor, ignorant and afflicted. Only
heaven knows the thousands and thou
sands of social problems solved in the
smoke-stained old building; the encOur-
agement which thousands of the frequent
ly-despised foreigners received to be
come good Americans; the counsel and
example which more thousands Of boys
were given possibly changing their
course from that which developed the
gangster and the racketeer, to become
good citizens; the countless girls who
were prevented from making a mistake,
or, having made it, were given a fresh
start through Hull House.
The inspiration back of it all was Jane
Adams, the suffering, "a year old wom-
an whose labors were ended only by
death. No wonder Hull House was
known to the poor women of the district
as 'the house where the ladies OF God
live
1t was only natural that a woman
who could so serve the poor and the dis
tressed Of big city should want to help
all humanity. Jane Adams work also
included a lifetime of devotion to the
cause of world peace, her work eventual
ly bringing her the Nobel peace prize
and worldwide distinction.
There may have been more brilliant
women during her life time, there GER
tainly were many who made the head
lines more often, but there was none who
excelled her in the amount of good she
did. Women of the nation, yesterday, to-
day and tomorrow, may we'll be proud OF
Jane Addams-Jane Adams of Hull
House.

PRESIDENT IGNORES SENATE

. by the time this appears in print Mr..
Roosevelt will have vetoed the soldiers
bonus bill, and the much disputed meas
ure will be out of the way. in all prob
ability, as far as the present congress is
concerned. 1t is hardly likely the SEN
ate can override the veto. so that even
should the house do so. the veto will
still stand.
1t Is possible, however, that the cir
cumstances surrounding the Presidents
veto will not be quickly forgotten.
In appearing before a Joint session of
congress In person to give his veto, Mr..
Roosevelt not only shattered presidential
and congressional precedent. but has
raised the question of the constitutions
ality of his act
In case of a veto the constitution re-
quires that the executive shall give his
veto and the reasons for such action to
that branch of congress in which the
legislation originated. In this instance
that branch of congress is the house of
representatives. The senate, says the
constitution, as concerns the present
instance, must receive the veto from the
house, and not from the President.
In speaking to the joint session today
Mr.. Roosevelt definitely addressed Mr..
Speaker, members of the house of rep
was conforming with the constitution
however he was actually NOT address
ing the house but joint session of the
house and the senate by virtue Of reso-
lutions adopted by both branches of con-
gress authorizing such Joint session.
None will question the right or propri-
ETY. Of the President addressing joint
session of congress in person on. any
topic which he may desire. But the ma
ton may we'll question the desirablllty
of the executive even appearing to show
a disregard for the strict Interpretation
of the constitution. Even granting that
it might not be serious in the present
instance it does establish a dangerous
precedent If the executive places his
own Interpretation on the constitution
what is there to prevent the congress or
the private citizen from following his
example?
If the makeup of the senate were more
evenly balanced as to party lines, 1t
might show its disapproval of this ap-
parent usurpation of authority by the eX-
ecutive to override his veto, the senate be-
ing particularly Jealous Of its preroga-
tives and not inclined, under ordinary
circumstances, to submit to such lgnor-
ing of its presence as the President did
today. However, the Democratic ma

taliatory action. That must come. from

WASHINGTON, May %. - Con-

bonus fight is all over for this year.
That is the word of John Alferi,
the one-man bonus army.
Alferi has started his long jour
ney back home to Los Angeles with
out even waiting to hear President
Roosevelt s veto message.
He wrote a letter to Washington
newspapers, announcing his depar-
ture.
Imperial Valley press., 1935-05-22

Alferi ought to know about the
bonus. He has made five trips TO
Washington in behalf of his one
man lobby He was arrested last
January as President Roosevelt
journeyed to the capitol for his an
nual message to congress.
Alferi tlouted "giye us the bon
us" as the President passed him.
Police arrested the army and
rushed him across the District line.
They told him to get out and stay
out.
Alferi stayed out long enough to
thumb a ride back to town and
went back to work for the bonus.
It looks now as though ne would
have to return again next year.
