Spokesman Says

Warrington, July 20.-R-An ad-

that q new compromise court bill
possibly would be offered to win the
support Of opponents Of the measure
now before the senate.
This official, who would not be
quoted by name, said there was very

He expressed these opinions after
Vice President Garner had spent more
than an hour at the White House with
President Roosevelt.
Meanwhile on Capitol Hill senate
court bill opponents abandoned their
plan for IN immediate showdown on

At the capitol Senator Barley said
leaders on both sides had agreed to
postpone resumption Of the fight In
the senate until Thursday.
The delay In the fight until Thurs
day gives the new majority leader
chance to work out floor procedure
for q test vote on the court measure.
II q motion to send 1t back to the
committee should carry, the bill would
be sidetracked at least for this session.
The leadership battle was inter-
twined with the court dispute because
Harrison drew his principal support
from foes Of the bill.
Both candidates were committed
personally to the bill.
Vice President Garner, who came
back to the capitol after . Texas
vacation, said he would not express .
preference for either candidate "by .
sIuale nod Of the head or bat Of the
eye"
Showdown Probable
There were unconfirmed reports the
president would insist on . showdown
on the present bill, and conflicting
word that further compromise Was
being discussed.
Senator Lewis Of Illinois, Democratic
whip who conferred with the president
Monday, was one Of those forecastiug

Lewis, one Of the Is senator's hither-

although he did not like the court bill
he would vote for It rather than have
all judiciary reorganization defeated.

Insurance Money Will
 Be Paid

Mrs N. L. M. My Aunt had an insurance policy made out to me al her death. l haven't as yet receiv- ed any money from this company What is holding up payment?
 Ans. Astrological indications shows that there is some controversy over the beneficiafies of this particular policy. When the policy was first made it had your sister as benefi- ciary, but later your Aunt changed this. Your sister is now entering into this affair, and her claim is holding up settlement. .. ....
 Mrs. A. C., Middlebury, Conn. Will we sell our property soon?
 Ans. The disposal of your prop c7ty is not advisable at the present time. My suggestion is to wait for another few months before cOmplet- ing any transactions of this nature. By doing so I am confident that you would be fortunate in obtaining a much better price for said prop erty.
 Miss T. N. c. Should I carry out my present plans, or just forget this entire affair?
 Ans. My suggestion is that you carry out your plans. You are worthy of 8 long vacation as you have not had one for approxi- mately four years. Take a four months leave of absence from this organization, and go on a cruise as you are now contemplating. More happiness, enjoyment and pleasure will be derived through this chan mel than anything else you could do TOW

Suggest Selling Business

Mrs. F. R. s. I have been con- sidering selling by business, and take life more easier in the future. Do you think I would be happy not working?
 Ans. Your services in this busi- ness has been well rewarded in 2 financial manner. Sell this to the party who has been wanting to buy it. Take some of the money you have saved and purchase yourself small home. Do some travelling as you have longed to do. You will be more happier in the future through this arrangement.
 MT. H. R. G. Will my sister and l. be able. to make the trip we are now contemplating?.
 Ans. "Yes," you two people will have the finances to go back to your native country which Is Italy. This will take place in the summer of this year.,
 U. s. T. How much longer will 1t be necessary for our family to live under such disagreeable cir- cumstances?
 Ans. Sir; no happiness win come to your family until you have your oldest son leave home. He is always in some kind of trouble and you have to pay hard earned money to get him out of it, trying to protect your family name. Discontinue to give him 2 home where he doesn't have to support himself. A person 26-years old Is very capable of cram ing their own living If 1t Is neces- sary to do So. My friend. your trou- ble can cease immediately, however, by only making your son leave

Fl Haren Gives More Uncanny Solutions To Problems

Mr. Geo. J. D. will my present plans materialize for a business of my own?
 Ans. It seems that everything surrounding you will permit your establishing 8 business of your own in the near future. I do not advise you taking a partner into this en- terprise with you. First try it alone, then if you see that assistance is necessary make plans to form a partnership.
 Mrs. s. T. c. My husband has a terrible habit of drink. What can I do to keep him from this? Ans. My chart shows that as long as you remain with your husband you will have to endure his over indulgence in drink. He can be stopped, however, only through will-p0wer on his part. | would suggest that you leave your hus- bring him back to his senses, and band soon. am sure that this will he will realize why you left. Action of this serious nature will be the only means of making him realize what a life you are now leading.
 MT. w. L. My daughter has re- quested that buy her an automo- bile. Do you believe should do this?
 Ans. I see your daughter re- gently having secured 8 position, which means that she travels the entire state of Connecticut, as we'll as Massachusetts. Your granting this request would not be for pleasure purpose, but one step high CT to help your very ambitious daughter be successful in her work. I suggest that you purchase a small car for her soon.
