Meanwhile, they grilled Angelo

Lazzia had broken through a

Officials emphasized they bear

could learn, have never been on

Bits of News Gathered From
Washinqton's Night Way
By THE NIGHT CLUB EDITORtn many Of the smart nj

, in many of the smart night
spots this week. They say that
night clubbing is their favorite di-
version. Helen Knott and Ches-
ter Towne owe a lot of their sue
cess to the originality of their
routines. This duo is now at Club
Habana. DO not forget that
there is no cover or minimum at
the Hi Hat Tuesday night, but also
no dancing. Just entertainment
One of the most entertaining
musicians in this town today is
Dmitri Matniatnikoff. Dmitri is
a drummer by profession but his
real ability lies in playing the
xylophone. He works in the Club
Volga Boatman. They are dane
ing until 8 in the Rainbow Room
of the Hamilton Hotel Tuesday
night.
AS usual, favors will play very
important part in the New Year
Eve celebration of Maryland Clun
Gardens. Dick Koons, the Lotus
pianist took a night off, so to
speak, the other night to play an
engagement at the fashionable
1925 F. Street Club and he has had
his nose high in the air ever
since. Lucille and Lindon who will
dance in the Continental Hotel
New Year Eve, arrive with quite
a reputation. Marusia Sava is
getting more popular every night
at the Russian Troika. Her voice

An increase of more than 20
per cent in inquiries received by
the Better Business Bureau this
year is another significant proof
Of the upswing Of business condi-

The bureau has extended the in

in close cooperation with the Sc.

AS a result of this work, Direc-

PLAN FOR MORE
VOCATIONAL
SCHOOLS

Plans for enlarging the scope
of vocational education among
students of junior and senior high
school age are under considera.
tion by a special committee Of
the Board Of Education, it was
learned today.
Headed by Henry ]. Gilligan,
vice president of the board. the
committee will Immediately take
under advisement suggestions sub
mitted by Mrs. Ma n Wade
Doyle, board president and the
District Vocational ASS> iation.
Mrs. Doyle, who appoi lted the
committee, explained the reason
for the move as follows:
81 feel strongly that we
ought to give opportunity to
all the children. While some
can go to college, many cannot,
and they should have the
chance to learn to use their
hands,"
Vocational training does not
imply that children are back
ward, she said, but instead gives
them a chance to become skilled
workers, of whom there is q lack
in the District.
The District Vocational ASso-
citation has recommended that q
long-range building program for
more vocational schools be
adopted.
Meanwhile, a committee ap-
pointed by the Federation Of
Citizens Associations to investi-
gate reports that communistic
propaganda is to be found in pub
lie school textbooks charged that
direct responsibility for further
use of public funds in purchasing
allegedly Red" periodicals is in

BY WILLIAM S. NEAL
International News Service

The possibility of framing
compromise $2,000,000, 900 soldiers
bonus bill was canvaSsed today at
a conference between Speaker
Byrns of the House and Repre-
sentative Wright Patman CD OF
Texas, author of the Patman Gin
flation" bill.
The conference marked the first
step in ByrnS' campaign to pre-
vent passage Of a bonus bill which
would be vetoed by President
Roosevelt.
Discussion Thursday
No agreement was reached be
tween ByrnS and Patman on the
question of delaying action on the
Patman bill, which the Texan Can
call up in the House on January
13 as a result of a petition signed
in the last session. Byrns said:
"The entire matter of the
bonus will be discussed by Mr..
Patman's steering committee on
Thursday"
While ByrnS would not admit
that he made any proposal to
Patman, the House chieftain
previously had indicated a desire
to head off another test on an in
flation type of bonus. President
Roosevelt vetoed the Patman bill
in the last session, and it failed
to pass over his veto.
The Patman forces thus far
have refused to consider the
Byrnes-Steiwer compromise bill
which many leaders believe would
receive White House approval
This bill calls for payment in
bonds and advancing the matur'
ity Of bonus certificates from 1945
to 1888.
Avoid Bank Profit
Patman characterized the pro
posed revision of his bill by SeHa
tor Thomas CD of Oklahoma. as
being little different from ou1
proposal"
Thomas proposes, if Congress
decides to use the bond-iSSue
method of paying the bonus, to
sell bonds to the Federal reserve
banks and thus, he says, avoid
bankers profit" in the bad issue
With the presidential campaign
looming, the House leaderS-and
many Democratic wheelhorses in
the Senate-are eager to see a
bonus bill become law with White
House apprval.
Speaker Byrns was expected to
call a meeting of recognized
House leaders this week to map
out a course. Tentative plans
call for the House Ways and
Means Committee to report out a
cash payment bill next week,
with no initiation in it.
Inflationists Firm
BY this method, the House
could vote on the Vinson bill ap.
proved by the American Legion
or compromise bonus bill before
Representative Patman CD of
Texas can call up his measure
Januar..' 13.
The Western Imitation bloc,
however, is expected to resist the
movement. Many members who
favor currency expansion hold
that there is ample gold in the
Treasury to permit issuance of
"greenbackS" to pay the bonus.

as you probably know, liquor IS
now being served at this popular
suburban rendezvous.
Big Program
It is amazing to note the rapid
ity with which the cocktail
lounges in this city have taken
their place right along with the
night clubs. And one of the rea-
sons for this sudden popularity Of
the lounges is Dick Butler, who
manages the affairs of the Rain
bow Room in the Hamilton Hotel.
Always on the job, Mr.. Butler is,
of course, taking tonight very Sc
riousIy, and he promises one Of
the most brilliant affairs this
town has ever seen. And If the
past means anything, his promise
can be taken as Sure-fire threat.
Pete Moss and his Ambassadors
really expect to swing out tonight
at the Cotton Club as they never
have swung before. If you think
the band has been hot all week,
wait until you hear them tonight.
And. of course, there will be a big
floor show that has been brought
down especially from New York
for the occasion. But the best
thing about the whole evening is
that you only have to buy tur-
key dinner-which, by the way, is
priced so low that if the turkey
knew about it he would feel highly
inSulted.
Maryland Club Gardens is, Of
course, no exception to the rule,
so they have planned a bigger and
better death to 1885. De Angelo
and Porter, a smart dance team,
will head the floor show, which
also includes the pretty Virginia
Sims, vocalist, and Frau Trappe,
the accordion player. Jimmy Har.
riS and his orchestra will supply
the dance music that everyone will
enjoy. And do not forget the Crys-
tai Bar, with Fred at the helm.
And there is no 2 a. m. curfew law.

tables are concerned, at this re-

BY SENATOR DUNCAN U.
FLETCHER
The American people can face
the new year Of 1886 with conf
dence in their banks.
The banking act of 1885 placed
deposit insurance on a permanent
basis, thereby establishing it as
the basic principle in our banking
policy. The public is pleased with
it, and in my estimation the insur.
ance Of deposits is the most i'm
portant feature of our recent
banking legislation.
Deposits and Earnings Soar
The effect has been to draw
from boarding funds which were
withheld from the banks. Bank
deposits have increased all over
the country; confidence in banks
has been restored to the extent
that the increase in deposits
amounts to over 6 billions of dol
lars. Some banks have enjoyed
al increase in deposits of Is per
cent. The total bank earnings in
% leading States are IS per cent
higher than year ago.
18 Billion Dollars Insured
On June %, 1885 Oatest survey
there were 81 million depositors
in insured banks. Of this number
so million were insured for entire
deposits.
On the same date there were
Al 900 million dollars in deposits,
of which $4,000 million dollars
were insured.
There is no longer any question
but what this insurance of de-
posits has been a vast benefit to
the banks and certainly to the
general public.
There is, no longer any heSita-
ton about using the banks. Bank
credits are built up and no one
would seriously consider the eli
mination of this feature in our
banking laws.
