lit is rumorcd and you know
how Washington is-it is rumored,
/ say. that the Republicans are
counting on Representative Clare
Luce of Connecticut 10 supply the
charm. the IRE. the impudencc. etc,
for their Chicago Whom Shall VIC

II is rumored Washington talk
ing again-that Mrs. Luce would
have been the keynoter of the
aforementioned Chicago meeting
had not Herbert Hoover said no!
And NO again II prefer Gov
ernor Warren OF California
DO you really mean thater-sir?'
said Mrs. Luce prettily over the
long distance phone TO Hoover Il
do indeed said Hoover without
ipology. Il prefer Warren. ma

ing up the phone.
HoweNer-l repeat the word
rhowever. the other Republicans
are still keen on Mrs. Luce. And
why not 1T is rumored - that the
speech which they since have re-
quested her TO make in Chicago is
now being written. Leading lights
in the party are. engaged in put
ting in words and phrases and leav-
ing them out. Let Clare say this"
some urge. NO, Wrong, Clare
should say this" others declare.
Poor dears Clare VIII say what
she wants TO say. Why won't tn
boys ever grow up
THE CONGRESS OF THE UNIT
I'D STATES is about TO spring
ahead to that important Adjourn
ment Day which has got to come
before the hours OF the national
Republican and Democratic con-
ventions strike upon the ears OF the
innocent populace.
When will that adjournment day
be-. Well. it depends on how
much spring there is in the law
makers on Capitol Hill Some big,
hot rows must be got over first.
one Of the rows-or Debates II
you like two syllable words is
bound 10 he stirred up over those
appropriation bills. Said bills are
far from streamlined yet And it
is going 10 be an oratorical as well
as a financial job TO streamine any
bill that directs how much more
money should, may. can and shall
be spent by the government OF the
United States during the next few
violent years.
Another bright bit that must be
ironed out by Congress is tax simp'
LITIGATION Think that over in
terms OF how you, a possible con-
stituent of the members of Con-
gress who must do the ironing out,
feel about taxes; plus the national
demand for the money that must
be raised il We are TO win the
war and keep the peace for our
selves our Allies and supernumer-
aries.
Other important bills, too num-
erous 10 mention, are still in con
ference in both Houses. This means
that when the bills come out OF
conference and pass separately. OF
course, in each House, they may
emerge very different from the
original bill on which the particu-
lar branch OF Congress went to
work.
For example, the veterans bill
called the 'GT Bill of Rights just
passed the House with a score OF
amendments tackled on 10 the orig.
inal Senate bill The Senate now
has TO consider and talk about
these amendments. Such goiuga
on take time. Every member Of
Congress knows. nevertheless. that
he has 10 clean the legislative
state before he runs Of TO month";

ICAME UPON \ GROUP OF busy
ladies NOT in uniform the other
day at a meeting Of the Garden
Club Of America | DO believe IN

so TO speak.
Garden clubs are likewise tx.
tremely good for the ladies who
belong TO the clubs.
But honestly couldn't share the
excitement some OF the members
felt in a discussion OF the future
Of our wild flowers II doesn' Z
seem the moment to worry too
much about wild flowers. So many
