'EARMARKING'
RELIEF FUND
IS UNDER fire
Pork Darrell Charge Made
for Influence in Next
Election
SILVER AND LOTTERIES
MAY BE FLOOR ISSUES

WASHINGTON, March ~. -
(UP)-A furious undercurrent of
political maneuvering today swirl
ed about controversial legislation
in both houses of congress.
Senator Huey p. Long intimi-
datedly conducted a senate fill
buster while he tried to muster
strength in the cloakrooms for
support of the prevailing wage
amendment to the work relief bill.
House silverites and national
lottery advocates schemed to tie
their plans to the soldiers bonus
in order to bring them to the
floor for consideration.
Administration leaders fought
vigorously last night to stop a de-
termined attempt to earmark the
$4,S80,000,000 works-relief bill
as Senator Huey P. Long, Demo-
crat, Louisiana, warned that part
of the money would be used for
political purposes in 1885.
Although he occupied the floor
fewer than 20 minutes yesterday,
the Louisiana Democrat effective
ly blocked any real action on the
measure which has been deadlock
ed in the senate for six weeks.
He cautioned the senate against
giving Mr.. Roosevelt give billion
dollars to. spend in getting re-
elected" and informed his col
leagues that cotton prices had
dropped 200 points yesterday. He
attributed this loss to confusing
statements of administration of
ficials concerning the possibilities
of monetary initiation.
The remainder of the time he
sat patiently at his desk listening
to the debate. But his colleagues
knew that the statesman from the
delta was determined that no vote
be taken on any important amend
ments in the bill until there mas
been a vote on his resolution call
ing for an investigation of Post
master General James A. Farley.
The senate postoffice commit
tee reported the resolution ad-
versely. Chairman Kenneth Nc
Kellar, D., Tenn, said he was
willing to call up the resolution at
any time. He and Majority Lead
err Joseph T. Robinson predicted
the senate would sustain the COM
mittee's action.
Meantime, with relief funds
dwindling rapidly and the admin
istration anxious to get the pro-
posed program underway, the
Jobs bill was placed before the
senate again and Immediately ran
into a storm Of debate.
The first section of the measure
which limits expenditure of the
money to "work and work relief"
was attacked by Senator Edward
P. Costigan, Democrat, of Colo
RADIO, Homer T. Bone, Democrat
of Washington, and other west

Priests Address Has Big Response
AMERICAN COTTON INDUSTRIES
EQUIPMENT BEING SHIPPED BY
THE SHIP LOAD INTO BRAZIL
Say Tariff and Govern.
ment Interference Are
Threatening Ruin

NEW ORLEONS, La, Mar. ~.
(UP).-Every ship leaving New
Orleans for Brazil now carries a
full cargo of cotton gins, presses,
cleaning machines and congresses,
while the passenger list is filled
with United States cotton men mi
grating to Brazil, Walter Parker,
economic counsel for the Ameri-
can Cotton Shippers association,
said last night.
Americas high tariff walls and
government interference in cotton
markets, he said, threatened 10
ruin the cotton industry here.
During the first six months of
the 1934-35 season, the world con-
sumed 1,217,000 fewer United
States bales, and $4,000 more
foreign grown bales of cotton
than in the same period last year,
meanwhile, Brazirs production
has increased in three or four
years from 100000 to 100000
bales, with the promise that its
annual production will soon be as
much as 100000.
"Advices from Brazil say that
coffee valorization having failed
Just as England's attempt to val
orize rubber, Japan's attempt tc
valorize silk, and Frances at

! and COTE now being slow sale
| coffee plants are being destroyed
to make room for cotton, which
has a ready sale for cash in the
world markets because of the han
dicaps on United States produced
cotton. ,
These handicaps, Parker said
were:
81. The high tariff on imports
maintained by the new worlt
creditor United States, which pre-
vents importers abroad from OBJ
tanning dollars with which to pay
for United States produced com
modities. Formerly United States
cotton was exported in payment
of debts due by the then world
debtor nation United States.
"2. Manipulation of the mar
kets by the government. and par
ticularly the 12-cent loans on un'
sold cotton, which are above the
world value and which result in
the holding and boarding of Uni
ted States grown cotton"

Origin of Visiting Card.

Visiting cards are of Chinese origin.
The story runs that more than thou

use in China. From very ancient times
to the present day the Chinese have
observed the strictest ceremony in pay

for the purpose are very large, and
usually Of bright red color. When

considers fitting bride for the young

woman, armed with the bridegroom's
card, on which are inscribed his an

If the answer is an acceptance of his
suit, the brides card is sent in return.

Cormorants Trained to
Fish for Their Masters

Cormorants are able to retain four
or five river trout-about six inches In
length-in their elastic, pouchlike
necks at the same time. To keep the
birds from swallowing their catch
tight-ftting collar is attached to the
base Of their necks. The cormorants
keep on diving for food to appease'
their voracious hunger, and, because
they are practically brainless, appar-
emily do not mind having their catch
taken away from them as soon as their
Threats filled with trout.
In China and Japan, notes a writer
in the Chicago Tribune, cormorants
have been trained to fish for their mas
tiers from time immemorial, and early
In the Seventeenth century this prac-
tice was introduced into Europe as q
sport. In the East the cormorants are
taught to fish either from the bank or
from a raft or boat. Invariably they
wear tight-ftting collar to which
a cord is attached, to prevent them
swallowing their prey.
AS the birds come to the surface
after long dive. their threats filled
with river trout, the fishermen pull
them into their boats or to the shore
and force them to disgorge their catch.
This is very simple, for all the fisher
man has to do is to grasp the base of
the birds neck and squeeze it's catch
out.

Royal Whitehall Palace
Where Henry VIII Married

Until the Eighteenth century the
royal palace Of Whitehall occupied
most of the land between Charing
Cross and Westminster, London.
Whitehall was known as York place
when Cardinal Wolsey possessed 1t,
and not until it passed into the hands
of Henry VIII was 1t known as White
hall. It was when Wolsey fell from
his greatness in 1929 that Henry VIII
seized his property and converted it
into a palace. For more than $50 years
Whitehall was the chief residence Of
the court in London. 1t was there that
Henry VIII married Anne Boleyn in
1888.
! In later years Queen Elizabeth
maintained the grandeur established
by her father. In front Of this palace
Charles I was executed in 1649.
Charles II made it a scene Of revelry
and intrigue. James II fed from
Whitehall in 1888. The only part
saved from the fire of 1898 was the
banqueting hall, which is now the
museum Of the United Service institu-
tion. After the destruction of White
hall the court moved to st. James pal
ace. The British court is still known
as "the Court of st. James,"

Teeth Are Not White

! Novelists talk of heroines with
'pearly white" teeth, but no human
being ever had teeth that were white,
or anything like white, says the Mil
waukee Journal. Examine your own
against a sheet of white paper and
you will see how true this Is. More
than that you will make the odd dis
covery that your teeth are not all the
same color. The first artificial teeth
were made white. and dentists were
obliged to stain them; nowadays they
have no trouble of that kind, for they
have no fewer than 80 different shades
from which to choose, and there is no
tooth in the world that cannot be per-
fectly matched. The variety in shape
Is equally wide. In all, the dentist has
a choice of something like 1000 diff
ferent shapes. Artificial teeth are made
OF special porcelain. Before this was
discovered they were sometimes carved
out of solid ivory,

Discoverer of Dvnar


In 1866 the Swedish chemist, Nobe,
discovered that when nitroglycerin was
mixed with a white mineral powder
known as fuller's earth a cheesy solid
was formed which was as powerful an
explosive as nitroglycerin but much
less sensitive to shock. He named this
product dynamite, name now gener.
ally applied to a number of mixtures
Of nitroglycerin with inert solids.
A few years later, states a writer in
the Chicago Tribune, it was found that
guncotton, unlike cotton, dissolves in
certain solvents. On evaporation of the
solvent the guncotton first sets to
jelly and finally to hard solid like
celluloid. When mixed with certain
modifying materials the jelly can be
nodded into grains of any desired size.
Knowing that nitroglycerin was i'm
proved by soaking it up in solid, and
that guncotton was improved by soften
ing it with liquid, 1t occurred to Nobel,
during the 1SS0s to use nitroglycerin
as solvent for gelatlnizing guncot-
ton. The resulting material, blasting
gelatin, is one of the most powerful
explosives used in peace-time activities.
By treating carbolic acid or toluene
with the nitrating acid mixture there
are obtained respectively picric acid
and INT.
