Washington. Feb. 6-AP-Eyes
on 20 or 80 doubtful votes, the
Democratic pilots OF the British aid
bill weighed last-minute changes in
the legislation today to meet objec-
tions TO its naval convoy and time
limit provisions.
Because OF the knotty problems
involved, the Democratic members
OF the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee had a special meeting before
the House convened TO discuss the
,ong list OF amendment proposals
which stand in the way OF a final
vote.
On the Senate front, meanwhile,
the Foreign Relations Committee
started another day OF hearings,
with Col. Robert R. Mccormick,
Chicago publisher; Col. Charles 4.
Lindbergh, and Hanford W. Mac.
Nider. assistant Secretary OF War
under President Coolidge, down for
testimony.
The two amendments reported re-
ceivirg serious Democratic ccusid.
Grafton in the House were:
IA definite statement that the
President shall have no authority
to approve the use OF naval conveys
for supplies to Britain.
PA provision that no contract
made by the President during the
two-year life of the bill could run
for more than three years.
On the convoy question, the bill
now contains a clause tsating that
nothing in the legislation author
ICES or permits the use OF American
vessels as conveys. However the
question has arisen whether the
President, as commander in chief
OF the nations armed forces, might
not have the authority under the
Constitution.
Influential Democrats said the OBJ
1ect OF a flat no-convoy statement
would be TO spike opposition argu-
ments that another section OF the
bill might permit such action.

Olympia, Wash. Feb. GAP
Piqued because of a state SEN

the resolution said the house

Dance Around Corpse

Typical of certain dances in
Celebes Is the so-called ma 'badong
mbating, meaning literally to sing
mourning songs for the dead. In
this dance men form a circle and,
while chanting in solemn chorus
words of lament or praise for the
deceased, slowly stretch and bend
the knees, occasionally making .
step sidewise. One hand Is laid on
the shoulder of the next dancer and
the other arm, bent at the elbow,
Is slowly brought forward and then
extending sidewise to the rhythm Of
the song.
This dance is usually executed in
front Of the house where the corpse
is lying and, later, also at the place
where the sacrificial bulls are being
slaughtered, writes Claire Holt In
Asia magazine. for slaughtering Of
bulls Is one Of the most important
features Of all big Toradja celebra-
tons. The higher the rank of the
person who died, the greater the
number Of slaughtered bulls.

Species Roses Growing
Wild in Some Countries

Species roses are members Of the
rose family found growing wild in
various countries. Hybrid teas. as
their name states, are mixed in an
cestry. Most of them are far re-
moved from the original rose spe-
cies after many generations Of plant
breeding.
Species roses are exceptionally in
teresting. Many Of them are beau
tiful, fragrant and decorative. They
have far more landscape value than
the hybrid teas, which are magnifi-
cent in coloring but add little to the
garden picture, as whole. Wild
roses, too, are vigorous and hardy,
having had to make their own way
in the world with no coddling. They
are seldom bothered with insects or
diseases and are better off without
rich food.
Wild roses found in the Midwest,
including Rosa Setigera, Of Michi-
gan, are now being used by DR.. M.
H. Hovarth Of Mentor, Ohio, in his
efforts to create a new strain Of
roses that will be proof against cold
and drouth. He Is trying to mingle
with the simple colors Of the small
wild blooms the lovely hues Of the
hybrids and their finer quality Of
texture and size.
The species roses have other gifts
besides hardness and romantic in
terest. They are beautiful all year,
with their mass Of flowers in early
summer, their foliage. form and
fruits. They grow among other
shrubs or perennials where the aris-
tocratic hybrids will not thrive.
They make big. luxuriant bushes,
distinctive and striking, suitable to
the formal or informal garden. Ev-
cry garden, in fact. should have one.
at least, Of the species roses. Among
the most pleasing are the Rugosa
rose. the Prairie, Korean. Damask,
Scotch. Virginia, Moyes. Cabbage
and Father Hugo's rose.
