My husband is a dentist, successful
after years of hard work. He has
built up a fine practice, always with
the thought of handing it on to our
son. From the day of his gradu-
alton the boy would find himself in
position of security with his IA

enviable position, in this day.
when he used to say he did not
want to be a dentist, we laughed.

ously.

drew the following reply:
Il say to you, my dear reader,
that you are fortunate the boy
knows so definitely what he wants
to do. If he is not interested in
dentistry, his fathers practice would
hardly assure him Of success or Sc
curity. If, in that case, he had no
interest in its stead, you might be
justified to be concerned. But there
is something the boy wants to do
And that is half Of success, and as
much security as anyone anywhere
can be certain of.
Did you know that the fame of
Napoleon was preceded by dismal
failure in another career? 1t seems
the young Corsican's original idea OF
an occupation was one that might
bring him success and distinction in
the shortest possible time. Some
one suggested this TO be writing, so
apply himself to authorship he did.
He dashed off History of Corsica
after its rejection spent two and a
half years revising ii, and wrote
short stories, essays, and entered a
contest for a prize offered by the
Academy Of Lyons. His work ranked
next to last, and he dropped the idea
of winning wealth and fame through
writing. Commentators have said
that if his critics had been less dis
couraging, if his work had had only
little merit, the world might have
had in Napoleon a second-rate writ
er instead Of just a Caesar!

GAG VOTED
TO ASSURE
PASSAGE
Compromise Provides
6-Months Embargo
on Munitions

In an effort to crush all opposi.
ton, the House Rules Committee
today approved a gag rule" for
consideration of the compromise
neutrality resolution.
Under the scheme adopted the
House will vote on the rule to pro-
hibit amendments and permit the
resolution to be called up under
suspension of rules.
The chief issue the leaders
sought to avoid was whether a
permanent mandatory embargo on
shipments of arms to foreign ma.
tions should be adopted.
Loan Ban Issue
Republican members of the
House Foreign Affairs Committee
served notice they would fight for
a mandatory permanent embargo
if given an opportunity.
Another issue which leaders
sought to submerge was whether
erican financial interests
should be prohibited from making
loans to warning nations.
Chairman McReynolds told the
Rules Committee he would like TO
have provision cutting off credit
to warning nations, but had been
advised Eastern Senators would
fili'ouster against it.
President Accepts
AS the result of action of the
Senate in voting the Pittman reso-
luton, with a permanent manda,
tory embargo on shipment of
arms to warning nations, Presi-
dent Roosevelt agreed to a com.
promise.
Under the compromise the reso-
luton would:
Prevent shipment of NUM-
tions to warning nations under
penalty of $4,000 fine and five
years imprisonment, until Feb.
ruary 20, 1886.
Require the president to issue
a proclamation in the event of
war between Italy and Ethiopia.
Impose licenses on all NUM-
tons makers, and require a
close check on their activities.
Prohibit shipments of arms
in American vessels to warning
nations.
Permit ban on submarines Of
warning countries entering
American ports.
Permit President to prohibit
Americans travelling in war
zones, except at own risk.

FIVE BILLS

ACTION
Alcohol Control and
Gold Suit Measures
May Be Strapped

LNV"6 WV
A weary Senate today carefully
watched the actions of the House
while its leaders hoped for ad'
journment tonight.
Republican leaders discounted
the hopes of the Democratic chief
tain, Senator Joseph Robinson of
Arkansas, but would not say def
nitely that the tired Congress
would still be in session tomorrow
Five Bills in Way
Five measures held the key to
adjournment or further delay.
They we're;
The utility holding company
bill which the House has &C
cepted in a compromise form
only slightly less drastic than
the original death clause"
Neutrality legislation pending
in the House, while the Senate
waits, ready to approve any
modified form in order to speed
adjournment.
The alcohol control bill,
knotted tightly in conference.
The gold resolution allowing
suits against the Government
for the coming six months.
The tax bill which has been
agreed upon by representatives
Of both Houses who are waiting
until other controversial matters
are cleared out of the way to
seek final approval.
Rail Pension Bill Awaited
Meanwhile, the Senate worked
on minor matters and was on the
alert fer report from it's Finance
Committee on the railroad pen
sion tax bill already passed by
the House. A report and final
action on this were expected to-
day.
Senator Robinson said:
1--WE are ready and anxious
to adjourn. 1t all depends
upon the House."
The calendar was the subject
of Senate debate yesterday, and
today was expected to prove a
stop-gap to the important legisla.
ton. Literally, there was moth
ing the Senate could do. It was
all up to the House. This pro-
vided a situation the reverse of
the usual circumstances of ad-
journment.
There we're rumors that the
Alcohol Control legislation and
the gold clause contract bill
would be scrapped to bring speed.
Senator Robinson would not con-
firm these reports, but he did say
that the rush toward adjourn
ment would not be stopped by
anything other than Legislation
of a major character"

POWER STOCKS
IN DECLINE

NEW YORK, Aug. % G.N.S0.
Financial markets zig-zagged
erratically today as speculative
interests made desperate efforts
to restore stability following
initial sharp declines.
Stocks staged a selective ad-
vance under the lead of Silvers,
rails, and steels, after an open
ing collapse in utilities, on the
approval of the compromise
death sentence measure, had un-
settled the entire market.
Power stocks, however, con-
tinued to rule lower on the day.
Cotton futures rallied partially,
following their early tumble Of
more than 81 bale on the
change in the 12-cent loan basis,
but losses of from So to SO a
bale ruled in the afternoon.
Some support came into the
staple on indications that South

mand reinstatement of the r.
cent level before congressional
adjournment.
Grain rallied after early soft
ness, with corn fractionally
higher and wheat about un-
changed,

With them was Carl Helm. Mrs.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Marital
troubles piled sky-high today for
Clifford Warren Smith, New York
socialite and heir to millions,
with the revelation he is being
sued by a French artist for a
portrait of his second wife, the
former Claire Luce, blonde dancer.
Mr.. Smith was served with a
summons while honeymooning
with his third wife, Charlotte Fan
toni, in France several months
ago, it became known today. The
former Miss Fantoni was a model.
Suit was filed by the celebrated
French artist, Gilbert White, for
1852, 500 francs.
Mr.. Smith divorced his second
wife in Reno this year. He agreed
to pay her $4,000 a year, but
later sued her for the money he
had paid. When he married the
former dancer in 1928 his mother
was so displeased she cut him off
with legacy of only $500.
