dicted.
On the other side of the capt.
tol, Sen. Key Pittman, d., New,
chairman of the senate foreign
relations committee, said he might
offer a resolution authorizing the
president to ban sale or shipments
of ornaments to Spain.
Senate Majority Leader Robin
son predicted that early and
prompt action would be required
on legislation dealing with neu-
trality, extension of the RFC, con-
tinuation of the reciprocal trade
agreement act and extension of
the act creating the $2,000,000,-
900 sterilization fund.
Leaders expect the administra-
ton to seek a three-year extern
: sion of the reciprocal trade law,
Secretary of Treasury Henry Nor
genthau Jr. said a request for ex-
tension of the sterilization fund
and the authority given the presi-
dent to devalue the dollar prob
ably would be sent to Capitol Hill
on Monday.
Speculation that a constitution
al amendment giving the federal
government specific powers to
legislate on maximum hours, mini
mum wages, unfair trade practices
and other social problems might
be placed before the coming con-
greSs was revived by Bankhead.
He endorsed Robinson's position
that q constitutional change would
be needed if the U. S. supreme
court continued to invalidate New
Deal social LEGISLATION. Declaring
that it was entirely probable"
that an amendment would be
placed before the 18th congress,
Bankhead said:
"This is long, tortuous pro-
cess but if we are to meet this
issue, and we must meet it, then
it should be done head-on and not
by trying to curb the powers of
the court"

Farmers Should
Use Care In The
Wiring OF Homes
Wiring Should Be Adequate
and Put in by Capable
Electrician
BY D. E. JONES
Agricultural Engineer North
Carolina State College

Every farmer who expects to
wire his horne and farm buildings
for electric service should give
much thought to getting an ade-
quate installation. properly put. in
by capable wireman.
The satisfaction derived from
the electric service depends upon
having a liberal number Of out
lets for plugging in various appli-
anceS at convenient places, and
being able to control lights from
convenient points.
There is u natural tendency for
the farmer 10 put in the wiring
just as chcapiy rs he can possibly
get it: but 70 do so, will usually
result in unsatisfactory conditions,
making it necessary to add 10 or
tear out and rcwirc--a costly m-
dertaking. Comments from per
sons who have recently wired and
are now using current are that II
they were TO DO the job over there
would be several more outlets put
in. | have not yet found a person
who thought he had too many.
The wiring should be adequate
to take care of increased uses Of
appliances for number OF years.
PLAN THE WIRING
To provide adequately for pres
ent and future needs, the wiring
should be planned just as the
family would plan q new home.
The building of new home
would not be left entirely to the
building contractor to construct
as he thought best for the needs
Of the family. Then why should
the wiring be put entirely in the
hands of the wiring contractor?
The proper placement of an ade-
quatc number of outlets, lights,
and switches means as much to
the comfort ard satisfaction of
the family as do the proper ar
rangement of rooms, doors and
windows in the home.
This more complete wiring will
cost / litolt more, but this cost,
at the most, will be Il very small
percentage as compared 10 the
cost e the house. Yet there are
some who consider $25 to $50 cN-
ceSSive for wiring q $4,000 or
$4,000 home. Two or three per
cent of the total cost of the house
would be Il fair consideration for
the wiring. The satisfaction de-
rived from lot of convenience
outlets is of a value equal not on
~ to the cost of installation, but
that cost multiplied many times.
1t is important that the owner
employ a capable and reliable
wireman because much depends
upon the workmanship and the
materials used Do not rely upon
amateurs and persons who arc no.

In the early days of Hollywood's

highly paid penmen who were under
contract to movie studios. The nom

ever, however, and now the movie
wordmen are lending their ears to
juicy offers.
The Hollywood jump into the radio
fold Is reversed in the case Of Eddie

Eddie Cantor for five years. Davis
has left radio and he and his part
ner, Matt Brooks, now are writing a

script, and the occasional custom Of
assigning s35-a-week scripters to put
words in the mouths of Sl,000-a-
week performers appears to be headed
for the doghouse. The word -wielders
of the kilocycle world, even if ap-
preciated by brother crafts men, have
not had much chance to bathe in the
spotlight of public adulation, for they
seldom are given "bylines" when the
roll of program participants is called.
In the movies at least one or two of
the writers who have worked on show
have the thrill of seeing their names
on the screen for a few seconds,
buried among the costume designers
and camera grinders. Sometimes
they draw lots for screen credit. since
the first minute of most photoplays is
overcrowded with credits.
The grinder-outers of verbal grist
for the radio mill usually are not so
lucky. for they do not even get their
names sandwiched in between the
last commercial and the announcers'
credit. Now, however. movement is
getting under way to give these un-
sung heroes of the ether an air credit,
and soon they may find themselves
basking in the limelight.

A THOUGH many radio stars en-
trust the hard-boiled business as
poets of their careers to regular busi-

are managed by their own mothers,
fathers, sisters and brothers.

is her younger sister Juliet, who takes

Bob" Mr.. Kerr finds enough time
not only to manage Doris, but to keep
up his 27-year-old jewelry manufac-
turing business on Maiden lane.
Without any experience in the the
atrical world, Monte Niesen gave up
his real estate business to manage
his singing daughter Gertrude, soon
after she showed that her voice could
take her places. Guy Lombardo,
since the bands beginning, has man

Tito Guizar is managed officially by

timable aid to her husband when he
first came to New York, for Tito could
not speak English very we'll. Nanette
began going along as interpreter to
business appointments and gradually
took over the reins completely.
One of the most conscientious rela-
tive-managers in the profession is the
father of the young baritone, Edward
