WASHING TON
FROM OUR CONGRESSMAN
WILLIAM r. ALLEN

WILLIAM . ALLEN
WAS ABLE DURING THE past
week to secure large number Of
Agricultural Yearbooks Of previous
years. Rather than have these de
stroyed I was glad to send them to
my former friends in Delaware
hoping they would be of some in
terest and assistance to them.
REAL UPTURN IN BUSINESS
The signs of an upturn in the
present economic situation are be-
coming more real every day. Steel,
shoe, textile, and automobile pro
duction are showing an encourag-
ing increase. Trade is definitely
improving. Not only are commod-
ity prices higher, but the Depart
ment of Labor states that raw ma
terial prices have advanced. Con
sumner income is higher with an
end brought to low wages.
MONOPOLY INQUIRY IVY Much
comment is heard on the nation
coming investigation of business
and finance by the National Eco
nomic Committee. Generally it is
believed the inquiry will result in
much value to the country While
it is alright for a bushes to be-
come big unit, it is bad business
for the country to allow destruc-
ton of competition in trade A re
striction by the government on I'M
lawful combinations that would de-
stroy this privilege is the goal
which the investigating committee
is striving for.
ASTHMA For those with near
chronic asthma there is now hope
in helium. An approximate four
to-one mixture Of helium and oxy-
gen gases, administered in a spec
tally devised hood tent, has given
patients very favorable relief, ac-
cording to the u. S. Public Health
Service. Sudden or gradual relief
from dyspnea difficult or labored
breathing) which accompanies GER
tain asthmatic cases, was obtained
in 90 per cent Of 81 cases treated
in New York Similar results are
reported at the Mayo clinic, and
from hospitals in San Francisco,
Cincinnati, and Washington, D. c.
The therapeutic use of helium mix
ed with oxygen was first reported
in 1884. Because of its lightness
about one-seventh as heavy as
nitrogen-the gas mixture may be
moved through constructed throat
and nasal passages at a pressure
about half that required for air or
nitrogen-oxygen mixtures. 1t is
not proposed as a cure for asthma,
but helium is now prescribed where
an effective ventilation of the
lungs is necessary to end severe
asthma which no longer responds
to adrenalin treatment.
POULTRY RESEARCH LAB
ORATORY- Construction of the
regional poultry research labora-
tory is expected to be under way
by August /. The contract calls
for the construction of a central
laboratory building, two large
brooder houses, and two smaller
buildings for special disease stud
les. The buildings should be COM
pleted by January 1, 1889. Twen-
ty-five North Central and North
eastern States will cooperate in the
laboratory work. AS soon as the
buildings are completed work will
begin on the development of effec-
tive control methods for fowl par
alysis, a disease that is prevalent
on both commercial poultry farms
and diversified farms. Losses from
poultry diseases cost poultry pro
ducers nearly one hundred million
dollars annually in the States CO.

Mr.. Roosevelt doesn't have any

Smiths appointment. If majority
of the Senate refuses to confirm, he
must offer somebody else for the
post and then there must be con-

If, on the other hand, the President

amendments to the law to be made
and indicates he will approve them,
some of the opposition to Mr.. Smiths

So far as sabotaging the act Is
concerned, the opponents Of the law
might as well forget it, because Mr.
Roosevelt still holds the veto power
and there is In existence in this
Congress nowhere near the two
thirds necessary to repeal the Wag-
ner Act or any Of its cardinal pro-
visions. The most that opponents
can hope for is the introduction OF

duct of hearings and the procedure

Grace Moore Stirs Controversy
By Public Curtsy to Wallis

OF Pembroke, an expert on court
etiquette, definitely is opposed to
curtsying before her.
IF the Duchess is made a royal
highness,' she was quoted in Lon
don's Sunday Dispatch as saying
recently, then shall be pleased to
drop her a curtsy."
After her marriage to the Duke of
Windsor. the former King Edward
VIII of Britain, the Duchess was
listed officially as the twenty-nintl,
Duchess, whereas her husband was
the third Duke of the realm. Con-
trary to the reported hopes of the
Duke, she was not given royal
status.
Lady Pembroke was quoted in the
Sunday Dispatch as saying she had
scolded Lady Diana Cooper, wife OF
the former first lord of the ad-
miralty, and Mrs. Euan Wallace
wife of the parliamentary secre-
tary for the Board Of Trade, for
curtsying to the Duchess in Paris.
Persons close to the Windsors in
sist, however, that the Duchess of
Westminster, Lady Brownlow, and
Lady Mendl, as well as dozens of
other prominent Enelishwomen
always bend their knees to the
Duchess.

The Political Mill
Report Of Senote Campaign Fund Committee
Is Expected to Be Full of Dynamite

stop, look and listen when the re-
port Is laid before them.
Little Was Done.
Nor are some members of Con-
gress convinced that the question
OF politics in w. P. A. can be solved
by the expedient of covering" into
the civil service all the working
staff of the relief organization. They,
1t is true, become amenable forth
with to the law which declares that
civil service employees shall not en-
gage in political activities. But
members of the Sheppard commit
tee found last summer that even
when they called attention to spe-
ciflc cases of officials of the Treas
ury and Post Office Departments
engaging in very active politics,
nothing was done about it. Indeed,
the Secretary of the Treasury came
to the defense of the official who
was trying to line up votes for
"Davey" Lewis to defeat Senator
Tydings for denomination in Mary
land. And Postmaster General Far
ley paid no attention to the activi-
ties of a postmistress along the
same line.
1t is expected that the Sheppard
committee will touch up these de-
partments and their heads, in their
report on the conduct of the last
campaign. Furthermore, the COM
mittee in its report will recommend
the enactment of legislation de-
signed to put an end to such politi-
cal activity by men and women on
the Government pay roll.
May Start Investigation.
The committees report may be
made the basis OF a. thorough in
vestigation Of the whole relief ad-
ministration; certainly it will lead
to an extensive debate of that sub
ject. While it can be said authori-
tatively that the report will not
name Mr.. Hopkins, it will deal with
the administration of the w. P. A.
in such a way as to make 1t an issue
and Mr.. Hopkins was the head
and forefront of the w. F. A.
With Mr.. Hopkins nomination to
be Secretary of Commerce due to
come before the Senate in a short
time, the Sheppard committees re-
port may be made the basis of at
tacks upon that nomination. The
committees findings will be given
attention by the Senate Commerce
Committee, to which the Hopkins
nomination will be referred. Sena-
tor Sheppard is member of the
Commerce Committee. He would
not hazard guess regarding a fight
on Hopkins. Senator Bailey of
North Carolina will be chairman of
the Commerce Committee and while
he has not been in Washington, it
is understood he will demand hear
ings on the Hopkins nomination be-
fore the committee.
While Senator after Senator, both
pro-administration and anti-admin-
istration, are saying they do not be-
lieve there will be much of a fight
against Mr.. Hopkins, no one knows
Just where the discussion will lead.
The whole affair is still in the
making.

BY the Associated Press,

CANNES, France. Dec. 29.-Grace
Moore sailed for New York aboard
the liner Conte di Ssvoia today
amid a controversy she stimulated
by giving the Duchess of Windsor
a deep curtsy in public.
The curtsy is reserved for royalty
and the American opera singer and
movie actress had come face to face
with an increasingly puzzling ques-
ton. whether the American-born
Duchess who married an abdicated
King is or is not royalty.
The Duchess had a private box
at concert given by Miss Moore
yesterday. During the concert the
singer stopped before the Duchess
box and curtsied. The controversy
was on.
The Riviera winter colony was di-
vided on the issue, with the Amer
leans and French insisting the
Duchess might just as we'll be given
royal prerogatives, since they be-
lieved she is certain to be given
them soon anyway.
On the other hand, some of the
English say the Duchess never will
have these honors. The Countess
