BYRNS CLAIMS
LEMKE BILL
DOOMED
House Speaker Says
ItHas No Chance,
As Test Nears

While conceding that the House
might adopt a motion to consider
the Frazier-Lemke 5000 million
dollar farm initiation bill. Speaker
Byrns today predicted its defeat
on final showdown. AS the first
test Of the bill neared, he said:
THAT bill hasn't any more
chance Of passing than-any-
thing in the world"
Declaring President Roosevelt
would veto the measure, Admin
istration leaders sought to strike
a death blow on the bill on the
first roll-call. The battle pre-
sented the first real threat of
the session to Mr.. Roosevelt's
leadership in the overwhelmingly
Democratic House. ]
Two Test Votes
Representative Lemke (R0 of
North Dakota, Scrappy former
leader of the Non-Partisan League
of that State, forced the issue by
obtaining signatures of 218 mem
bers to a petition to discharge
the House Rules Committee from
considering the bill. The first
vote slated was on this question.
# it carries the House then will
vote on adoption Of a rule for
consideration of the bill on
Tuesday.
Bombarded with criticism on
the ground passage of the DILL
would result in uncomfortable in
flation, the measure provides for
q sharp downward revision Of eX-
listing interest rates on farm IN
debtedneSs and for issuance Of
5000 million dollars in new cur

last night reiterated his criticism
Of the measure.
Labor Opposed
He declared:
"The Frazier Lemke bill Is
proposal that the Government
take over the mortgages on the
farms Of the country. 1t is eSti-
mated that they amount to
about eight and one half billion
dollars. The bill provides that
these mortgages be taken over
at their face value and at an
interest rate Of III per cent.
"OrganiZed labor is definitely
opposed to the bill as publicly
stated by william Green, presi-
dent of the American Federation
Of Labor, because Of its initiation
airy provisions which would in
evitably increase the cost Of liv-
ing and consequently decrease

O'Connor declared the chief OBJ
lection to the bill is that it Is an
"inflationary" rather than a
"farm-relief" measure. Printing of
5000 million dollars in new cur

feature of the bill, O'Connor said.

INCIDENTALLY, we are letting
L the quintuplets learn, just as
rapidly as possible, to feed them

their spoons, and it makes extra
work cleaning up. But they de-
velop self-reliance that way, and
parents make a mistake if they
continue to hand-feed babies too
long, just because they want to
avoid cleaning up the muss left by
unskilled little fingers.
The quintuplets have never been

1t hasn't been necessary.

he develop the ninth trick?
Declarer knew that one of the

looked like certain defeat. How

a militant follower Of the ex-
Socialist Upton Sinclair and the
candidate for Lieutenant Gov
ernor on the EPIC ticket in 1884.
Out of the conferences with Dow

Muehlbach Hotel in Kansas City
on March 9.
Present at this gathering were
Townsend, Downey, Conner Smith,
Oklahoma attorney, the third

Clements was not present in per-

work in making codliver oil
available. My advice is prevent
ing ricketts, in children is cod
liver oil and plenty of it.
We've never had any trouble in
getting these children to eat
spinach. But of course we have
an advantage in the fact that the
five are together. If one of them
doesn't want to eat her spinach,
we don't insist. Generally she
looks sideways and sees the 9TH
ers eating theirs, and, feeling she
is going to miss something, fol-
lows along.
If she doesn't eat it, we Just
take it away. Later, then, she
wishes she had, and the next
time there's no trouble.
incidentally, we've found it best
not to try to insist or coax child
to eat anything. 1t becomes a
game, a matching of wills. When
1t gets hungry enough, the child
will eat.
Very soon now we are going to
stop daily weighings. AS the chill

Portable clothing. Then, if there
was nothing, we just let the child
cry.
Like all children, they some
times try to pull job on us.
When they found that nothing
happened when they cried, they
soon stopped. There's nothing in
it, SO why do it?
One thing has been especially
borne out in caring for the quin-
tuplets. That is the matter of
slight temperature rises.
Many parents worry when the
take child's temperature and
find it abnormally high, say up to
102 degrees. But that is really
nothing at all to worry about
unless the condition persists.
Slight constipation, nervousness,
excitement, any one of a dozen
minor things can cause a baby's
temperature to rise markedly. The
parent notes this, and worries.
But unless the condition persists,
it probably doesn't mean thing.
Much needless worry is caused by
the too-ready use of the thermom-
eter in the nursery.

The secret, behind the-scene

Francis E. Townsend, originator
of the old-age pension formula,
was scheduled to make.
Townsend and his intimates
placed responsibility for this re-
buff at the doorstep of Mrs.
Thelma Clements, the 28-year-old,
red-haired ex-stenographer whom
Clements married in 1884. They
accused Mrs. Clements of having
secret designs to shelve Townsend,
and of high-handed meddling in
the affairs of the organization.
This rift between the two part
ners continued to widen as Glenn
ents and his wife pushed them
selves increasingly to the fore in
the control of the organization.
Townsend, finally, could stand
no more of this. He packed his
bags and flew back to California.
