binet member is tellin' us to lay
off plantin' so much-and solve the
over production farm problem. And
another cabinet member is goin'
pell-mell here and there, promotin'
dams for more water to give us
new acres and bigger crops.
So it is hard to savvy, how any
farmer can plant less and also
plant more, at the same time, and
it looks as if the fellers sponsorin'
these great plans, they maybe ne
yer meant for anybody to take 'em
too serious, in the first place. And
anybody doin' so, it is quite a good

Dog Keeps
LOngV Vigil
FOrBaby

"Virtue is its own reward" and
so it will have to be for Skippy, a
mongrel pup who offered UP a full
measure of devotion without know
ing that his sacrifice was needless.
It all came about through hte
attachment that Skippy has for his
eight-month-old mistress, Elsie
Montgomery, who lives at No. 7
First ST., Seat Pleasant, Md.
Yesterday the baby's mother,
Mrs. Alberta Montgomery, wheeled
the child from their home to the
street-car station, with Skippy
close behind the carriage. Skippy
knew that his little mistress was
sound asleep in the carriage, but
he did not see that Mrs. Mont
gomery had lifted the baby out
when she boarded the car to go to
Washington.
So began a 24-hour vigil which
Skippy ended today. He wouldn't
bulge from beside the carriage.
even with the lure of food offered
him by sympathetic bystanders.
Mrs. Montgomery did not return
to Seat Pleasant by street car, but
by bus, and so was unaware of the
dogs vigil. Her husband saw the
dog yesterday evening when he
came home from work, but Skippy
would not follow him home.
Today the family was told
Skippy was guarding the carriage,
and William McLaren, neigh
Dor, away IN his auto. After much
persuaccion Skippy jumped into
the car and soon was reunited with
his little mistress.

dents program be amended to in.
clude additional antitrust legisla-
ton was made on the Senate floor
by Senator Borah (R.) Of Idaho.
Borah said the antitrust pro-
gram could be accomplished in
other ways, but suggested 1t would
be simpler to include q short
amendment to the pending legisla-
ton.
Warns on Trusts
Borah warned that the trusts are
destroying the nations economic
stability, and asserted Congress
had the constitutional right to
pass legislation which would bring
them further under the control OF
the Federal Government.
Opposition to the proposed bill
was expressed by Senator Ellender
CD Of Louisiana, who asserted
the program could be accom-
pliShed under the National Labor
Relations Act with a separate bill
which would abolish child labor.
Child Labor Focal Point
Courtenay Dinwiddie, general.
secretary of the National Child
Labor Committee, gave general
support to the proposed bill and
it's child labor provisions.
Similar views were expressed by
Katharine F.. Lenroot, chief of the
Children's Bureau of the Depart
ment of Labor, and Mrs. Dorothy
Kirchwey Brown, of Boston, dl-
rector of the National League Of
Women Voters.
The bill also received the sup
port of the National Consumers
League.
Suggest Changes
It. appeared also the bill would
be amended to include suggestions
by leaders of organized labor who
endorsed the principle Of the pro-
gram. Both William Green, presi-
dent Of the American Federation
of Labor, and John L. Lewis, head
of the Committee for Industrial
Organization, proposed amend

BATTLES
LOOM ON HILL
CALENDAR
BY WILLIAM 8. NEAL


Five major legislative battles
confronted Congress during the
torrid summer months as Demo
cratic leaders pledged President
Roosevelt their best efforts to put
through an eight-point program.
With the White House urging
action on all major legislation now
pending in Congress before ad.
journment, the most optimistic
predictions OF leaders for the end
of the session ranged between
August IS and September /.
While the battle over the
Supreme Court enlargement plan
overshadowed all other legislative
difficulties, many serious problems
faced the leaders in an effort to
put through the command" pro-
gram. Action on other measures
admittedly may hinge to some ex-
ten upon the outcome Of the
Court fight and compromise pro
grams.
MAJOR baGCleS
The legislative battles, In ad-
dition to the Court fight, included:

Wages and hours: While speedy
agreement o. Senate and House
Labor Committees is foreseen, a
strong fight will be waged by
Southern members for wage diff
ferential and by original anti-NRA
group against delegating huge
power over Industry to a small
board.
Low-cost housing: With Treas
ury fighting to hold down immedi-
ate appropriation for low-cost
housing program, well organized
group in Congress, backed by Ia
Dor, is demanding a $1,000, 200. 900

He had come to bring a baby
into the world and spoke to the
father.to-be, another physician, but
q man Just as nervous as anyone
in like trying circumstances.
The visiting physician stopped
long enough to pat the nervous
doctor on the back, and then went
on into the house to supervise the
birth of Harlean Carpenter, a
tiny, tow-headed morsel Of femt-
ninity, who, as Jean Harlow, was
to skyrocket to fame in Hollywood
and capture the hearts Of a large
part Of the world.
Won Alteration
The cheerful physician was o
prophet, for as a breezy baby Har-
lean won the hearts Of her Kansas
City neighborhood, and as a breezy
girl she took the hearts Of her
school and playmates.
Then, as breezy young lady, she
captured the alteration Of men and
women whose paths she happened
to cross, and as a screen star the
bubbling breeziness Of her per.
petual good nature captured big
slice of the world.
HarIean Carpenter was born
in the home Of her grandparents.
Her mother and father were living
there at the time. Had she been
born a boy, she would have been
Christened Harlow Carpenter
to perpetuate the names Of both
families.
Name q Compromise
Long and anxious were the dis
cuSsions which finally produced
her name. Finally, when it ap-
peared she might be given a whole
half-dozen names, to placate all
her adoring relatives, a compro-
mise was reached.
The tiny mite was christened
Harlean. It was the nearest femi-
nine name the family could invent
to resemble her mothers name
Jean Harlow Bello.
The child's grandparents would
not hear Of any removal from
their home. So for two years
Harlean Carpenter, her mother
and father, remained in the old
graystone house.
Doting Grandparents
Years afterward Jean Harlow
used to say:
"My grandparents were about
the most dOting grandparents
that ever lived. / was q small
pampered tyrant during those
two years. Even during the
day when grandfather, a well
TODD real estate man, should
have been in his office, he
would sneak home to play
with me-and would give my
grandma the most absurd ex-
cuses for staying away from
his business.
"An through my childhood.
grandfather and / were boon
companions. I believe he had
more influence in moulding my
thoughts and ideas than any
other person"
Jeans parents began to worry.
Like any other young married
couple, they wanted q home Of
their own, and of course, Jean was
being pampered too much.
Home Of Own
Finally, it was agreed that the
young couple and little Jean were
to have a. home of their own. It
was pleasant place overlooking
a large park.
And grandfather and grand
mother? Well, they we're only a
few blocks away. Jean saw them
every day. Grandfather still took
her for long walks.
And in the summer time
grandfather and grandmother had
her to themselves. They took her
to the summer house, a huge
rambling structure with large, cool
rooms and seven gables. It was
built high on bluff overlooking
the Missouri River.
Often grandfather took Jean
on long, lazy rides up and down
the river.
