As many times before during this
session, the administration was
handicapped by the failure of its
members to remain in the chamber
to oppose a coalition of Republicans
and conservative Democrats.
On the final roll call 83 Demo-
Gratis and two Progressives joined
with all the Republicans present
i57-to vote for passage. 1t was op-
posed by 1872 Democrats and one
American Laborite. ED v. lac,
California, was among the bills OPP

If Mr.. Roosevelt signs the bill
and makes it a law, an early court
test was assured. Rep. Frank Hook,
D. Mich, promised to be "the first
man to violate it" so as to test its
constitutionality in the courts.
1T is violation of the first
amendment to the constitution, >
he said.
Major controversy in the house
debate last night centered over the
provision barring United States
district attorenys, postmasters, in
ternal revenue collectors and other
vote-getting officials whose jobs
are considered of the patronage
variety, from participating in poll
tice. That provision was stricken
in committee on the ground II
was too broadly drawn and might
be interpreted to include the presi-
dent and other elected officials OF
cabinet officers. But the house re-
stored it,. Dempsew introduced an
amendment specifically exempting
those officials and it was adopted
House passage was especially sig
nificant in repect to the forthcom-
ing 1910 presidential campaign. II
was considered in many quarters
as potential aid to those seeking
to obtain the presidential nomina-
ton for Vice President John N
Garner, since Farley's national po-
litical machine may be weakened
Garner's chances were not believed
to depend so much on the job-hold-
ers of such machine as on gener.
al popularity.

Britain Works Up
Peace Proposals

1t was indicated. however. that
not only were such proposals being
considered but that much more
would be heard of them in succeed
ing weeks because the sponsors in-
tended to make every effort to let
the German public know abou,
them, in order to make it known
that Britain. at least, was not try
ing to "encircle' Germany but was
seeking way out of the present
diplomatic deadlock.
A rumor has been circulating IN
London for several days that Sir
Horace Wilson, perhaps the closest
adviser of Prime Minister Neville
Chamberlain, had mentioned tile
idea to Hellmuth Wohlthat, German
economic expert who has been here,
ostensibly to attend an interna-
tional whaling conference.

The 80-year-old chief executive

tangible evidence of the rightneSs
of his own methods. He had over
300 kilograms from persons wh0-
listened to his bout with sin Weo-
nesday night. Some were not laud-
atory. but these were in proportion
of one to 20, he said
Many people seemed to think
Michigan would become dry sud-
denly on the day I became gover-
nor. he said. Il can't see that
the public mind is shaped up along
that line now. I expect to give
some plain talking to drys about
working for changes in public
opinion"
Leaders of Dickinson's party
quickly agreed with his estimate OF
Michigan public opinion on the
liquor question, by disavowing his
views.
Perhaps he is in position to
speak for the state administration,
James F. Thomson, chairman Of
the Republican state committee
said, "but the party is greater than
one individual and the governor
doesn't speak for the party"

Bustle Dress Now
Fashion Interest
Inspiration Is Taken From
Modes of the '8O's.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

The versatility and resourceful-
ness with which designers are han
ding the hustle theme calls for adj
miration. While the hustle mode,
20 important this season, gets its
inspiration from the modes of the
way-back-when eighties, the inter-
probation given it by contemporary
style creators modernizes the theme
to the liking and acceptance of the
most exacting and conservative fol-
lowers of fashion.
To enumerate the endless ways
In which designers are handling the
situation is scarcely possible. The
story is best covered in stating that
the new styling calls for back full
ness achieved by clever manipula-
ton in the way of gathering at the
waistline, inserting fan-shaped
pleats, adding peplum flares and
perhaps the most popular and SIM
plest method is the sash bow at the
back. And here's good news in re-
gard to the hustle bow, you can
buy dresses with detachable hustle
bows. Also, hustle bows are sell
ing at the ribbon counters.
The smartest dress at the moment
is the black gown that is styled with
a hustle silhouette which may be as
restrained as most discriminating
taste demands, rendering it perfect
ly practical for general wear.

Piratical Emblem

The marine research society OF
Salem, Mass, says that it has no
exact information as to how the
name Jolly Roger originated, but
it was in use as early as 1720, when
it was employed by Captain Rob-
erts. In early times Roger was q
canting term for rogue, and jolly
Roger, therefore, would have its
meaning as jolly rogue.
