Labor Committee, However,
to Incorporate in Senate
Bill Amendments
Approved
DRIVE FOR CLOSE
is PUSHED ONWARD
Wage, Sugar, Tax Loop
hole and District of Column
bit Tax Measure Are All
Progressed Toward Con-
clusion; Southern Con-
gressmen Ask Control

washington, Aug. (AP)-The
House Labor Committee voted today
to substitute the Senate wage and
hour bill for the House measure.
1t agreed, however, to incorporate
in the Senate legislation amendments
previously approved. Committee men,
bers said the action was designed to
expedite the recommendation of the
bill to the House. Only three members
representatives said, voted against
substitution of the bill They were
Representatives Griswold, Democrat,
Indiana; Lambertson, Republican,
Kansas; and Haltley, Republican,
New Jersey.
Developments on four bills, the
wage-hour, sugar, tax loophole and
the District of Columbia tax meas
ure substantially advanced the con-
gressional drive for adjournment to-
day.
The District of Colubmia tax bill,
carrying a price maintenance rider,
was cleared out of the way entirely
when the Senate completed action on
it and sent it to the White House.
The price maintenance provision
would relax antitrust laws to allow
manufacturers and wholesalers to fix
retail prices on their goods in states
having price maintenance laws.
The committee on tax evasion, joint
ly composed of senators and repreSen-
tatives, completed its investigation of
income tax avoidance and evasion de-
vices today and prepared to report to
the House and Senate tomorrow re-
Communications for closing tax loop
holes.
Much discussed sugar legislation
won favorable action from the House
Rules Committee, despite opposition
of the Agriculture, State and Interior
Departments.
Senate Debates Housing Bill
The Senate resumed consideration
of the Wagner housing bill, working
under a debate limitation designed to
expedite final action on the measure.
Several minor amendments were dis
posed of in rapid fire order and the
administration worked to get prompt
vote.
Other Washington developments of
the day included:
A decision by 35 southern congress-
men to send a committee to talk with
President Roosevelt on a general farm
program, and especially loans on cot
ton
Nomination Expected
The belief that the President will
nominate successor to Justice Van
Devanter before Congress adjourns
increased, meanwhile, among high adj
administration supporters.

Brain TwizzIers By Prof. J. D. Flint

"Bowlegs" Brown was straight up horse wrangler. He probably was the best in the west. As a sideline "Bowlegs" prided himself on his arr tiStic technique with lariat. How ever, one day he faced a problem new in his experience. Another wrangler was standing in the cor- ral at point shown by X on the diagram which "Bowlegs" holds ir. his hand as the picture above shows. He was thirty yards from the gate and Bullet, his horse, was twenty yards from the gate. Both start for the gate at the same time and Bul- let travels four yards while the wrangler travels three yards. Of course Bullet gets to the gate first. "Bowlegs", standing nearby, became curious as to. how long a lariat would have to be to catch the horse. He finally figured it out, can you?

It swung crazily on its cord, then crashed, books and all, to the floor. As she stopped to pick them up, Coral noticed a slip of blue paper protruding from the bent leaves of a dictoniary. She caught it up with cry triumph. She looked at Donna squarely. You did very poor job of hiding 1t. Now, let's have the whole story. I'm going to Professor Maxwell and you're coming with me-"
