 Claire Pendell's one idea was to have peace from those screams. She jerked Georgie up sharply by one arm and spanked him as he stood catching his breath for a fresh start.
 Why, you're terrible, Georgie! l never SAW him act so"
 And over Marbeth's protests she snatciled the baby up and carried him across to the nursery, closing the door with fnality.
 The screams and choking gasps did not diminish in the slightest, nor Georgie's sobbing "No-no-no-no- mama "
  It was 3 a. m. and Marbeth by the dressing table lamp was just finishing JumJums fringed tail. Distressed at the futile clash of wills across the hall she had at last pasted Jum-Jum's ear back in place and at the risk of Mrs. Pen dell's disapproval carried the ele- plant in to Georgie.
 As she expected, the baby stopped crying at once and received Jum-Jum with open arms.
 But Mrs. Pendell demurred.

 still, it was relief to have him quiet.
 Hes just baby Marbeth said. Its really better to work around them when they're so little."
 After his dinner Georgie had gone to sleep with Jum-Jum still in his arms.
 But Marbeth's going to make him that new coat tomorrow his mother warned him, "and you mustn't cry"
 Marbeth had seen Georgie's hold on the elephant tighten but that was all right. She knew there would be no more scenes tomorrow. For at midnight when the house was quiet and Georgie in a sound sleep, Marbeth stole into the nurs- cry and cautiously drew the ele- phant out of the baby'S relaxed arms.

 But Jum-Jum was done at last and a smart, swank beast he was. Still benign, still benevolent, but with a well tailored elephant-gray hide, firm legs (Marbeth had rein forced them with skewerS) and a gorgeous, ornate, red ana orange howdah blanket where ladies might ride.
 She crept down the hall back into the nursery and seated JumJum on his launches atop a fold of blanket with the tip of his new trunk touching Georgies outspread palm.

Extraordinary tribute to Mr.. Haiti

clerk IN the House of Representatives.

gross indifference to the long, faithful
and efficient service Of a devoted pub
NC servant were we not to take notice
OF the departure Of Patrick Haltiean.
For rs years he stood at his post
on the Speakers rostrum and in a
most capable and satisfactory fashion
performed the delicate and vet most
exacting responsibilities OF one of our
Official reading clerks. During that
period every man and woman who
has served in this House was familiar
with the sturdy figure, the noble voice
and the circumspect actions of this
man.
In response to his voice during
that period at least one-half OF every
piece Of legislation in our congress
sional annals has been recorded.
Always at his post, always vigilant in
the discharge Of his duties, always
personally interested in preserving the
high and noble traditions of this body,

Another faint spark OF hope for
Amelia Earhart and her navigator
Fred Noonan, was seen today in the
fact that the islands about Howland
are natural habitats for birds. whose
eggs would furnish the missing flyers
with food indefinitely.
DR.. Irvine Gardner OF the optical
division OF the Bureau of Standards,
who recently returned from an eclipse
expedition which was housed on one
OF the islands in this vicinity, made
the point. Some observers have ex-
pressed the opinion the Earhart plane
would have gone down" In the
Phoenix Islands group. just south
east Of Rowland Island.
The flyers carried vaporizing de-
vice for making drinking water from

providing the aviators were enabled
to save such paraphernalia-or them

Even so, DR.. Gardner was dubious
as to whether any of the islands

defend the foes of the New Deal and
added that he personally favored the
outlawing of personal holding COM
panies and the banning OF issuance
OF tax-eXempt securities.
Mrs. Roosevelt's Contract.
Fish's first allegation centered
around the contract entered into be-
tween Mrs. Roosevelt and the Shelby
Arch Preserver Shoe Co. of Phila-
delphia. whereby Mrs Roosevelt re-
ceived 81 for series OF 10 broad
casts in 1885, with $4,000 to be paid
to the American Friends Service
Committee of Philadelphia for each
broadcast.
He added that he understood Myles
F. Lasker, agent in the contract, re-
ceived $1,000 for each program, with
s4O0 OF this going to Miss Nancy
Cook.
That contract was money Mrs.
Roosevelt earned" Fish said, las much
as anybody ever earned money and
she directed where it should 60.
If she can avail herself of special
loophole, then everybody else in Amer
ica may do the same thing: John D.
Rockefeller may do it, and anybody
else may do it,
1T matters little to the Government
that she fails to pay $25 900 tax, but
it matters greatly if others accept this
principle and reduce their rightful
obligations. If such practice becomes
widespread, it would cost the Gov
ernment hundreds of millions of dol
lars"
AS Secretary Morgenthau leaned
forward, Fish turned his testimony
to the cabinet officer.
Asks Morgenthau's Returns.
Asking that the Morgenthau returns
before he became Secretary be ex-
amined, Fish declared he had reason
to believe that devices of family trusts
and interchange of stocks within the
family would be found.
Il would like the committee to call
also for the returns of Mr.. Moreen-
thau's father, large Democratic con-
tributor, and see if he hasn't used the
devices of foreign holding companies
and family trusts.
L think we ought to ask for the
income tax returns of Harry l.. Hop
klns TO see If there is any income
noted from sale of books to W.PA
workers. I'm not sure that it's proper
for Government official to sell book
to w. P A. workers"
L think you should call also for
the returns of Mr.. James Roosevelt,
son OF the President" Fish continued.
TO see if he has any personal holding
company in Nassau. Also, you might
inquire If other Roosevelt's are doing
the same as Mrs. Roosevelt"
AS he completed his half-hour of
uninterrupted testimony, Fish said he
would like to present his case against
the President in writing.
Calls Others Named,
AS Morgenthau ended his brief ap-
pearance, Chairman Doughton asked
II any other persons named in the
open hearings desired to appear.
AT this invita- ton, A. Harding Paul
local tax attorney representing the
New York Sun Publishing Co., stepped
forward to say that his client had not
oy any means questionable or other
wise" avoided the payment of taxes
legally or morally due.
onoer questioning by Vinson, Paul
aomitted the existence Of the C. VIII.
Holding Co.. which owns a controlling
interest of the Sun stock and the filin9
OF tax returns under the holding COM
pany section.

u. S. FROZEN GOLD
MAY REDUCE DEBT
Question of Whether Treas
ury May Use Part of
Hoard Debated.
BY the Associated Press.

u.AS I
Fiscal authorities speculated today
on the question OF whether the Treas
ury may use part Of its frozen" ST.
143 3,000, 900 gold hoard to pare down
Federal debt.
The big supply Of metal has accu-
mulated since last December, when the
Treasury instituted its gold steriliza-
ton program.
The program was designed to keep
the supply of credit stable through
Treasury borrowing in amounts equal
to gold inflows.
In this way. the Government re-
moved from the money market funds
equivalent to those added by gold inn
ports, thus maintaining steady sup
ply Of lendable funds.
Informed authorities said there are
indications the gold now to this coun-
try will drop sharply under the S.
600 ,000-a-day rate of the last few
months.
Gold May Be Utilized.
If this occurs. they said, the Treas
ury may consider utilizing some Of the
gold already bought with borrowed
money.
This could be done by issuing gold
certificates against the metal to Fed
eral Reserve Banks. The certificates
would be used to retire Treasury obli-
cations held by the banks.
Officials sold fht. orocot;o ,,,a,,,J
not tend toward credit initiation un-
less the Reserve institutions exer-
cised their authority to issue notes
against the gold certificates and re-
invested the money. Any reinvest-
ment would send the funds into COM
mercial banking channels, increasing
their supply of lendable funds.
George L. Harrison, president of
the New York Federal Reserve Bank.
called on Secretary Morgenthau yes
terday. Ofiicials said they discussed
the possibility Of retiring part Of the
Reserve banks s2,526 900 900 holdings
OF Federal securities through the is
suance OF gold certificates.
Immediate Action Unlikely.
1t was emphasized. however, that
no such action was likely in the next
few weeks.
Treasury officials expressed hope the
Federal budget can be brought into
approximate balance during this fiscal
year by impounding 10 per cent of
all except irreducible appropriations.
President Roosevelt received as
surances yesterday from the heads
OF 70 Independent Federal agencies
That they would make every effort
to save the 10 per cent.

CARRIER SIGNALS
HELD EARHART'S
Coast Guard Officer Credits
Only Messages Last
Saturday, Sunday.
By the Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, July 9.-Lieut.
Frank johnson, San Francisco Coast
Guard communications officer, said
today while most purported "Earhart'
messages had been discarded, he was
confident carrier wave signals heard
Saturday and Sunday nights came
from the lost plane.
johnson asserted code" messages
had been discarded because neither
Amelia nor her navigator, Fred Moo
nan, could send accurately in code.
Many Messages False.
Purported voice messages could
have been sent by Miss Earhart, John
son declared. Many have been false
supposed carrier wave signals have
often been shown to be carrier waves
from commercial planes.
We know the carrier wave signals
received Saturday and Sunday night
originated great distances from San
Francisco" johnson said. Had they
been faxed by transmitter on the
coast, we could have easily localized
them and Honolulu could have done
the same through triangulation.
Waves From Crystal Set.
1T is not likely any amateur would
operate on the Earhart frequency
which is assigned mostly to aircraft.
1t is possible, but not probable. We
know the carrier waves heard in re-
sponse to broadcasts by KGMB in
Honolulu came from crystal con-
trolled type set such as carried by
Amelia Earhart"
johnson pointed out crystal con-
trolled sets are costly and only radio
engineer can take an unfinished crys-
tai and process it for set use.
Trlangulation of Sundays carrier
waves by the Coast Guard and Pan
American Airways in Honolulu
switched the search from north of
Howland Island to the Phoenix group.

 One face cream, powder, rouge and lipstick, mascara for special parties, hand cream, manicure &C., cessories and a protective founda- ton lotion are the absolute essen tials that a college girl should take back to school with her. Extras, like cologne, special evening makeup and such, are nice to have, but lack of them won't make the average co-ed miserable. She probably would rather spend her spare cash on fine brushes for hair, nails and teeth, an extra bottle of nail polish and the like.
 The little case of manicure im- plements ought to include cuticle cream, polish and oily remover, emery boards, orange sticks, nail whitener and a small bottle of olive oil in case the urge to have hot oil manicure becomes too great to resist, one fine rainy afternoon. The girl who uses hand cream frequent ly, keeps cuticle soft and pushed back is likely to have lovely hands when she is older.
 Makeup kits are partlcularly sat- isfactory for one who has to share a room with another. Equipped with all the necessities, one of these takes up little space on a dresser and makes keeping a room in or der definitely easier. Besides If you store 1t in the top drawer, there's less chance of all and sundry using your makeup. This isn't a plan for less generosity. It simply is a bad idea, for reasons of health, to loan or borrow cosmetics.
 Girls at the majority of the so- called Eastern colleges eschew foundation, rouge and power during class periods and wear only lip- stick. A box of powder lasts a long time, but lipsticks always are in demand.
 Her hairbrush is the fastidious co.eds best friends as far as the subject of beauty is concerned. If she uses 1t every night and sham. DOGS once a week, there's no doubt that she will have shiny, healthy, attractive tresses.
