But here's a gem (thlS is prOSe)
that Congress actually was asked to
enact legislatively.
It's paragraph in bill sponsor
ed by Representative Joe Hendricks
of Florida, undertaking to make the
Townsend old age pension effective
not up to 5000 monthly, but other
wise as per DR.. Francis E. Town
sends original suggestion. The
docs" taxation plan for raising the
money is incorporated bodily. To get
the record all straight, the PROPOSE
ton officially is known as "H. r.
1885,"
Here's the paragraph referred to-:
"Throughout the act the present
tense includes the past and future
lenses. The masculine gender in
cludes the feminine and the neuter.
The singular number includes the
plural and the plural the singular.
Shall means must and is manda-
tory May is permissive"
It's paragraph which already
has been given to the public because
Congressman Hamilton Fish, Jr., a
member Of the representatives ways
and means committee, which was
considering the measure, explained
that he didn't fully understand it
and asked for a Qualification. Con-
gresham Hendricks, the things
sponsor, agreed that he didn't un-
derstand it, either. Thus it obtained
considerable advertising. / suspect
that the discussion queered the bill
All the same, 1 haven't heard it COM
pared with the imam upon the stair"
or the "hippopotamus."
Doc EOWnsend'S Version.
In the early days of the Townsend
PENSIONS agitation the 'doc" made a
speech before the National Press
Club in Washington.
Upon its conclusion several of the
boys buttonholed him for bit of ad-
ditional information.
"Doc," said one of them, "it seems
to me that your scheme is very in
flationary."
"Sure it is" replied the doctor.
"Inflation is what we need In this
country"
"But," reasoned another question
er, limitation is bad business for folks
on fixed incomes, like us newspaper
men. Our living costs will sky-hoot,
and it will be long time before
we'll get any pay increases"
"True,' agreed the doctor, seeing
the point Immediately, but my
plans deflationary likewise.
Ever since this conversation, which
I listened in on, I've wondered
whether or not the Townsend pro-
gram was calculated very sc1enti-
fically
I'll take a 5000 pension quite
readily and won't have any trouble
in spending it before the montns end
as prescribed by the doctor: But can
| make it masculine, feminine, COM
mon and neuter, singular ana pleur- !
al, mandatory and voluntary snnul-
taneously?

Hayes Includes
African Songs in
Latest Concerts

Melodic, but little-known African
and American Negro airs win be
included in the program which Ro-
land Hayes, foremost Negro tenor,
will present at the Lyceum theatre
Sunday afternoon, January z.
He will open with Bach and
Handel, sing the African and
American Negro folksongs, do a
group of Germanleder and con-
clude with traditional spirituals.
Reports on Hayes recent New
York Town Hall and Boston ap-
pearanees declare that he is doing
his finest work.
Born In Georgia
Hayes was born in the back
woods settlement of Curryville, Ga.
While he was still a lad, his
widowed, slave-born mother moved
her family to Chattanooga, Tenn.
There Hayes worked in a factory
that made window weights. He re-
lieved the monotony of the work
for himself and others by singing.
CarusO's Records Spurred Him
Arthur Calhoun, a Negro teach
err, heard Hayes one Sunday, sing
ing in the choir of little church.
With Calhoun, Hayes later visited
the home of a white man where
they listened to photograph rec
ords of Calve and CarusO. This
proved the decisive spur to Hayes
ambition.
Worked Way Through College
While working his way through
Fisk university, Hayes sang with
the renowned Jubilee singers. The
organization gave a concert in
Boston, where Hayes decided to re-
main. He furnished fat sparsely,
sent for his old mother and buckled
down to study with Arthur Hub
bard.
Eight years later he Melted
$4,000 from a recital and sailed
for England. There he gave a
command performance" before the
late King George v. Flattering in
vitations to France, where he has
become known as ale rage de
Paris" and to Austria and Ger
many followed. After an absence
of several years, Hayes was rap
turously welcomed back to London
and Paris last spring.
