NEW LIMIT SEEN
FOR RELIEF SUM
Conferees May Put Spending
Figure at 7 Months to
Provide 'LeeWay.'
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

Conferees on the $3,723 .000. 900
relief and pump-priming bill may limit
the $l.425 ,000, 900 w. p A. fund to
seven, instead of eight. months, as a
means Of giving the President more
leeway to meet any unforeseen increase
in the relief load during the congress
sional recess.
Although the conferees have put
off final agreement on Senate and
House differences until Monday to en-
able the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee to work on the last deficiency
bill today reliable indications are that
tentative bases of settlement have been
formulated on most important ques-
tionS.
Compromise Considered.
Limiting the w. P. A. fund to
seven months, If agreed to. would give
the President approximately $175,-
000,0 the Senate intended for use
during the eighth month as a reserve
in case the relief situation becomes
more acute during the summer and
fall. This is understood 10 be under
consideration as compromise on the
difference between the two houses
over the Senates action in striking
out the Woodrum amendment to re-
quire apportionment of relief funds
to last through the period covered by
the DILL
1t appears virtually certain House
conferees will take back to the House
for instructions both the $2l2 900 900
item for parity payments TO farmers
and the Wagner amendment increas-
ing the lending power of the United
States Housing Authority by $780,
100000.
Housing Objections.
1t is understood the conferees are
not basing their objection to the
housing amendment on the increase
in the lending authorization. but to
other phases of the amendment which
revise the terms of the original slum-
clearance housing program. Their
position is said to be that changes in
the basic law should be considered
separately by the proper committee.
One possibility is that they may
take both the farm and housing
amendments back to the House with
certain recommendations There is
believed to be little doubt the House
will accept the farm parity payments
authorized by the new crop control
law.

TOR many centuries the pinks
- have gone about their way
covering the earth with their
bright, beautiful colors in the
spring and summer. There are more
than 1000 species and today they are
represented over the Northern Hem
isphere. They love high places as
well as lowly ones. and they prefer
cold to warm exposures.
There are many cousins in this
family with which you are at least
on speaking terms. Think OF the
carnation and the Glove, sweet Will
liam and the double pinks. The
dianthus is a wild rover, though many
Of her descendants have been cult
waited and educated into staying in
the same place year in and year out.
In the fields and along the road
sides in early June you will find some
Of the lovely pink flowers, and until
September there will be blossoms.
The flowers have whitish dots on
them and they are borne in small
clusters at the tip Of the stem. The
stem is from 6 to 18 inches high.
There are but a few branches and
they are erect and stiff. This leaves
grow opposite and are bladelike, the
lower ones rounded at the top.
Dianthus is supposed to have been
Jove's choice. This pink does not
have any fragrance, but it has charm
and has won for itself many friends.
