AN ENTERTAINER

Up from the South comes the
word that former Senator Tom
Helm is continuing to round up
business for the FILA.
After months of search, Heflin
found job as a special represen-
tative of the Housing Administra.
ton.
1t is his task to travel through
the South and convince skeptics
of the advantages of the FHA.
Those who knew Tom when he
represented Alabama at the Capt.
tol, contend he is well-fitted for
his present job.
They say, and their conten-
ton is apparently we'll justified.
that he was the best story teller
the Senate has heard in many
years and that he is missed from
the cloakrooms, for none Of his
successors can compare with
him at a raconteur.
FIXES FENCES
Political observers in MissiS.
sippi are of the opinion that
Senator Pat Harrison, wheel.
horse of the Administration, has
been rapidly repairing his po-
litical fences by personal con.
facts with his constituents.
When Congress adjourned last
summer. it was reported that the
time Harrison was forced to ex-
pend assisting in the enactment
of Raw Deal" legislation had
not benefited him in the minds
of the voters.
The theory was that Harrison,
like many others who rise to posi-
tionS of national Importance, had
lost much Of his prestige in the
State which gave hin an oppor-
tunity to come to Washington.
Latest reports, however, indicate
that he has recovered consider
able of the lost ground and that
his chances of reelection have in
creased materially.
They say that if he can hold
the regained ground in the neX1
session, he will be returned to the
Senate in 1885 without serious
trouble.
l. B. T. U.
Probably one of the least mem
toned and yet most unusual ar
rangements made by the United
States is it's agreement with tho
Swiss Government concerning the
International Bureau of the Tele
graph Union.
Because of the widespread us
of radio and telegraph commun
cations in the United States, off
cials consider it most importan
that representatives of this Gov
ernment should attend the Unioi
and secure the benefits of informa
ton which it accumulateS.
Under the present arrangement
the Swiss Government advance
funds needed by the bureau an
then apportions the expenses.

doors and send members home to
permit the majority to root for
themselves and for Coach Roose-
Yelt.
With both conventions in the
offing the legislators are sure to
be in a hurry to end the legiSla-
tive program.
According to expectations, al
though the plan for legislation is
extremely uncertain, the White
House and its spokesmen in House
and Senate will seek to avoid all
possible controversial bills and dis
pense with the routine matters as
rapidly as possible.
The question arises, however, as
to what the Republican minority
will consider the best strategy.
If Minority Leader Charles l..
McNary of the Senate and Repre-
sentative Bertrand H. Smell, House
Minority Leader, determine that
the voice of the Republican party
is best heard through the Capitol
sounding board. they can find
means to delay adjournment.
Quiet requests for postponement
of action on bills go as far IN
causing delays as do outright fill
busters as none knows so well as
Charlie" McNary. He has the
ability to ease his colleagues along
in ways that may cause action
or inactivity.
Consequently the Republican
minority may be the real blockade
in the way of early adjournment
if they deem blockading expedient.
ASK AND!
When an inconsequential men,
Der of Congress determines that
he is a man Of power, nothing
could be quite as mighty as ne
considers himself.
Shortly before the recent Army
and Navy football game when
tickets we're as rare as Roosevelt
Republicans, the Navy Depart
ment received a call from a
mighty member.
He demanded 100 tickets i'm.
mediately.
The Navy Department pointed
out that tickets were scarce and
that it would be impossible to full
kfill the request.
The member protested, threat

NEAR CENTRAL
HIGH SCHOOL:

Now for the family who has
children entering Central High
School in February and who
would like to be close enough
for the children to walk back
and forth to school. 1t is a
row house, of brick and is two
stories high. The rooms are spa
ciouS and all have parquet
floors. Having a back yard
opening onto an alley is always
such a distinctive advantage, as
the delivery boy can use this
entrance. This home has six
rooms, a front porch and a hot
water heating plant and rents
for $4,000.
A FURNISHED HOME IN
CHEVY CHASE:
Out on 32nd Street in Chevy
Chase I inspected this very at
tractive detached home from
the outside of the house you
would get the impression of a
regular bungalow but there
really is two floors, the second
floor consisting of two sleeping
rooms, both outside. The living
room had a very unusual and
attractive arrangement of win
doWS, which, along with a wood
burning fireplace, gave the room
a CHEEKY air; next came din
ing room with six windows
through which you have a view
of the surrounding grounds; a
kitchen gay in colorS of yellow
and orange was completely
equipped and has as an added
attraction, a breakfast porch
screened in, which, weather per-
mitting, could also be used as a
play room for the children; two
nice size bedrooms with a bath
completes the ground floor. This
home is entirely furnished even
to some dishes and linens and
as the owner is deSirous of leav-
ing around the 18th, she will
Sublet for term of six months
or longer. This would make a
real comfortable home for a
family with children as there is
plenty of ground where the
youngsters could play in safety.

QUE STREET HOTEL:
I visited a hotel yesterday
that offers the incest rooms you
could want for an unusually
small rental. The ceilings were
high and the windows placed to
the best advantage so you could
get plenty of air and light. The
hotel has a ballroom, which is
very popular and is. frequented
by many of the younger set of
Washington. You can get Splen-
did meals in the dining room
for the chef is we'll known for
his culinary art. This is a real
home-like hotel and 1 am sure
you would like it as we'll as 1
did. The location is very con-
venient.
1900 BLOCK OF
NEW HAMPSHIRE AVE:
A most charming place to live
-. that's what so many of the
guests tell me and after my visit
I am sure they are quite right.
The house vas built by a we'll
known Washington family and
later lived in by an Army officer
who entertained quite laviShly.
I could we'll imagine the beau
tiful gowned ladies and their
handsome escorts being received
in the spacious drawing room.
There are fireplaces in most
of the rooms; three and
four baths to a floor; a large
recreation room, with immense
log burning fireplace, where
there are always congenial
young ladies to play bridge or
chat with on long winter eve
ningS. Really 1 think this
would be an ideal place for a
girl away from home, as I am
sure she would not spend any
lonely hours. Catering strictly
to young women, the house
keeper has provided a pressing
room, where the girls can keep
their clothes tidy, and many spe-
cial features that would add to
the happiness and comfort of
the girls. Rates are quite NOM
inal for room and meals and as
it is located so centrally, So
licit your inspection.

when The critics gave the Red Birds

George, who was Dutch Rektorik's
right hand man, left for Tulsa re

Broad had the faculty OF gearing

Vest and Bean were members Of
Bob RobinsOn's Mercedes Robins
which came very near winning the
state championship at Galveston
two years ago. Long John" Bar
mum, Dog Ramsey and Bob Car

Mercedes quint.
Although the Valley champion

an indoor gymnasium, WI would
not be greatly surprised to see DON

spirit Of late which will be hard to
