would be revived in the senate I'm.
der the leadership of Senator Hay
den of Arizona, Democrat and a
member of the appropriation COM
mittee.
The house majority voted accord
ing to the wishes Of the admins
tration on the relief bill, which is
a $2,364 ,229,712 measure carrying
81 ,425 100000 to finance the Works
Progress administration after July l.
In addition to the relief apprO-
priation, the bill carries $45S,631 $50
for the social security program, $780,
100000 for the Tennessee Valley
Authority, 100000 for continuing
the communications commissions
telephone inquiry, and various new
and deficiency amounts for other
agencies.
The most important amendment
permitted to be added to the bill
by the house leaders was one sub
mitted by Representative William Z.
Connery providing that the prevail
ing wage in communities be paid
to WPA workers. The Hopkins or
ganization will pay out approXi-
mately the same sum per man per
year, it was explained, but will
work the men only one two, or three
days a week where they formerly
worked four, five and six days each
week.
Ickes signified his acceptance of
defeat in the battle for funds by
ordering an immediate cut Of %
per cent in PWA personnel in Wash
ington and throughout the country.
This affects 1000 persons.

majority of about 10000. Mr.. War
rem announced at once that he re-
leased them from their pledge to
vote as they see fit in the cOnven-
ton.
This looked like a blow to Gov
ernor LandOn, and to certain eX-
tent it was; but his managers claim
at least IS of the delegates will go
over to the Kansan on an early bal
lot. Moreover, many friends of
Landon deprecated the fact that
Hearst was supporting him, believ-
ing it would do him more harm than
good; and they were glad to see him
freed in part from what they con-
sidered an incubus.
Democrats voted almost sOlidly
for Mr.. Roosevelt. Upton C"Epic")
Sinclair's ticket received something
over 100000 votes, and that of John
S. McGroarty, Townsend plan sup
porter, about half as many.
In South Dakota a slate of unin-
structed delegates favOring Landon
won over a ticket pledged to Sena-
tor Borah, though the margin was
slender.

one of its members by another men,
Der. The league council met in
Geneva to deal with the question
and seemingly intended merely to
condemn Italy's action and then
adjourn until June, when Frances
new leftist government will be
in power. First, however, it
decided, over the protest of Baron
Pompeo Aloisi of Italy, to keep the
question on the agenda; and be-
cause Wolde Marian, representative
of Ethiopia, was permitted to take
his seat at a closed sitting of the
council, Aloisi Stalked out of the
room. This was his statement to
the delegates:
Il have the honor to declare that
the Italian delegation cannot ad-
nit of the presence at the council
table of the sO-called Ethiopian
delegate.
''There exists, indeed, no SEM
blance of organization of the ETH
Opian state.
THE only sovereignty existing in
Ethiopia is that of Italy.
"All discussion on the subject of
the Italo-Ethiopian difference would,
consequently, have no object.
Therefore l find myself obliged
to refrain from participating in the
discussion"
Marian told the council the great
er part of the country west of Adds
Ababa remains free and independ-
ent and continues to defend itself,
and the council still considers that
Emperor Halle Selassie's govern
ment is in existence. For the pres
ent, apparently, there will be no
move to lift the sanctions against
Italy.
Prime Minister Baldwin of Great
Britain refused to tell questioners
in parliament what attitude his gov
ernment would take now in the mat
ter of recognizing Italian sovereign
ty over Ethiopia.

LESS UNIFORMITY
SEEN IN NEW HATS

Less uniformity is noticed in the
new hats than was previously the
case. Besides the general tenden-
cies already in vogue, there are
new interpretations of Bretons by
Agnes in grOsgrain and rayon satin
ribbons with hand-work on the
crown. The crowns of her Abyssin.
ian Negus hats are shaped some
thing like a tiled roof and her Chi
nese caps are extremely pointed.
Talbot shows little Flemish bon
nets that are very cute. Among the
Catherine de Medici coiffures and
Refine Margot bonnets at Marie-Al-
phonsine'S are models in crocheted
rayon straw with open work, others
in laZe of slit cellulOse film and
bright straw of this weave.

Franks of Zioncheck.

THE papers seemed so barren
l. not a single front page story
about Representative Zioncheck,
Washington's No. Boy Scout. Life,
indeed, is empty on day whose
low descending sun sees no gay
deed done. no headline won by the
nations official problem child.
He may have started off at the
foot of the ladder, alphabetically
speaking, but his startled cOnstitu-
entS can't complain that the gallant
lad stayed there. Either he's get
ting pinched or getting Jailed or
getting married or getting his pen
in hand to tell the President how to
run the country, or getting ready to
polish off some fellOw-statesman of
tile house. or just getting about.
And hasn't he put the throbbing
pulse into the Congressional Rec
ord? 1t reads now sometimes as
the old Police Gazette used to.

His Next Movie.

NIERE starting a new picture,
w and am teamed up with Slim
Summerville, 6 feet 6 of pure COM
edy, and little Jane Withers-fOr
her age, the greatest scene-stealer
in the business. It's as though Lit
tie Boy Blue were sandwiched in
between Jesse James and Calamity
Jane. Well, as l go down for the
third time I'll still be gurgling fee
bly,, so give me credit, please, as an
earnest gurgler.
They call our picture "Public
Nuisance Number l." but a movie is
like an Indan-starts out with
name and winds up with anyone of
a half-dozen. l once knew a Black
foot who was first one thing, then
another, and the best he could do
for himself in his old age was to be
known as Chief Many Tail Feath
erS Going Over the Hill.

all the more fascinating. Either you
are more strictly tailored or you go
be2uilingly feminine with all sorts
of furbelows.
Your wardrobe for spring and
summer is made to play this dual
role in that you may choose be-
tween being that faultlessly and un-
compromisingly tailored the mascu-
line members of the smart set will
see themselves outrivaled in the
matter of meticulous detail or your
costume feminizes to the extreme
via gay prints, gay flowers and
lavishment Of adorably frivolous ac-
cessories that are utterly devastat-
ing in their coquetry of color and
tlutter and chic and charm.
Speaking from the smart tailored
viewpoint every fashiOn-wise Amer
lean woman is dashing out with joy
in her heart~t0 fit herself with a
feminine version of the latest in
mems swanky topcoats or trim busi-
ness suits. Always she has envied
the slim distinction of well-cut mas
culine attire, and from experience
with riding habits and active sports
costumes she knows that mannish
styles accent rather than detract
from femininity.
Broad shouldered and slender
hipped, the two models pictured are
man-tailored in the best tradition
with a custom-built look that makes
them eminently correct. The jacket
suit of mems wear wool has ar
rived at a highspot of perfection
which makes instant appeal with
best-dressed women. Its lines are
in the latest fashion with graceful
ly sweeping lapels, single-buttOn
jacket closing and braid bound
edges and pockets. One of the very
smart details in high-style tailor
ing this season Is the preference

Improvement in Influenza.

TN RESPONSE to large numbers
l. who wrote or wired, | would
state that either I'm getting over
my influenza, or maybe I'm just get
ting used to it. It's latest whimSi-
cal notion was to settle in both
ears, and now should it thunder, a
rare occurrence out there, in order
or me to get the benefit of the phe-
nomenOn, it'll have to thunder again
and louder. However, being tenn
pOrarily deaf has its advantages: l
don't hear the dull things the other
people say, but can still enjoy the
bright things | say myself.
AS will be noted, I'm back from
Palm Springs, where | cooked in
the desert sunshine until all | need
ed to do before being served was to
drape a Sprig of watercrOsS across
my brow and thicken the gravy
with a little brown flour. Driving
in, I kept tying up the traffic: so
many motorists mistook my face
for a stop signal.
Should l relapse I'm going to try
to throw myself into the epizOOtic.
That's a horse disease. but I've been
as sick as q horse and had to be as
strong as a horse to live through
it-and, anyhow, l know a good
horse doctor.

Rules for Olympics.

4 S I understand it-and some
L n body correct me, please. if I'm
wrong-the rules for the fOrthcOm-
ing Olympic Games in Berlin have
been so revised that it will be quite
all right for any of our Jewish ath-
letes to take part-just so they
don't win.
I'm wondering, thought, about
what may happen when the Amer
lean team turns up over there with
whole batch of negro fOOt-racers
in the outfit. It's going to be aw-
fully hard to convince a PruSSian
crowd that they're merely medium
tO-well-done Nordic-C Caucasian stock
Drowned in the pan, so to speak.
1t so happens that our fastest
runners are all colored boys. Per-
haps it's just as well. They may
have to keep right on running.

Polka Dots

You can't down polka dots in thc
spring. Even so great designer
as Mainbocher uses them in new
dinner ensemble. The material is
navy crepe de chine dotted with
white, the same fabric in red and
white marking the underarm and
making a wide waistband. A finger
tip mandarin jacket accompanies
the dress.

New Colors and Materials
for Women's Spring Shoes

New cOlors, contours and mate
rials are making the spring shoe
styles as exciting as the costumes
they complement. Mannish pumps,
strap sandals, ghillies anG peasant
type shoes with heels Of all heights
are only a few of the modes that
will be represented in fashions
march. Graceful variations of the
Cuban, continental and boulevard
heel. in both built-up and covered
models, will direct new attention t.
the back view of shoes.

 ONE OF OUP PET PEEVES
 This thing of being continually asked: "."7i Il the l1atanuska Pro ject be a success?" is getting to be something of a pain in the neck.
 This question is no doubt promD- ted by the black eye given the Val- ley by returned colonists, but any thinking person can answer it for himself. The success or failure of the project does not depend upon whether these co olonists stay or re- turn to their former homes.
 All the buildings necessary to a community have been built. Alno st 900 homes and their outbuildings have been constructed upon tracts of land that proved their agricul- tural worth under the hands of old settlers long before the colony was thought of.
 These fine homes will never re- main untenanted. These tracts will not lay idle. Whether the present group of occupants remain or leave will have little effect upon the ultimate standing of this valley as a farming community. Someone will continue with the work already started, and, as far as we can see, it doesn't make much difference Whos The fact remains that a farm ing 5ett lement will have been es- tablished in this district, and af- ter all, that was the idea underly- ing the establishing of the pro ject in the first place.
 Tn a conversation the other day wi tn Pat O'Cotter we were imDres sed with the pertinence of a comnaris son he made between co lonists and stam- peders.
 Pat has taken in all the st am- pedes to the established gold camps of the interior, Fairbanks, Ruby, Iditorod and the rest. "And I nev- CT mushed into camp yet," he said "But what I met men coming cut with the grumbling comment that the strike was a fake. History tells you just how wrong they Were."

 Orders from Colonel Westbrook make complete fire inspection of the pro ject necessity. A cleanup campaign will begin with the publishing of this notice.
 Also there is to be complete reorgani ization of the Volunteer Fire Department. Father Merrill Sulzman is now the Fire Marshal witt authority covering the whole valley, including the towns of Natanuska and Wasilla. His posi- tion as Chief will be filled by Bill Taylor who had a simi lar duty at Boulder Dan when he was resDOn- sible for the fire safety of 800 tents.
 Jack Allman has been appointed Fire Inspector for the valley and Elmer Maugh replaces i'm as Assis- tant Chief.
 New Deputy N1ardens to control the hazardous brush burning in the various districts will be appo int ed to replace vacancies created by returning colonists.
 Don't take any chances with fire reaching your home. Back fire before setting those big piles of brush to flame. This is the windy season and the grass is even now so dry that fire will run through it at incredible speed.
