the adventures of everyday boys

Boys and girls do not follow

hot off the press the association
said. Few books published af-
ter 1913 have yet reached peaks
of popularity. because demand
for them has not yet been built
up.
while the reading choice OF
adults is influenced by book re-
views and advertising, juvenile
demand is built on personal rec
concentration. Once popularity
is established, il lasts for long
time, and some authors develop
such devoted followings that any
book of theirs immediately be-

WASHINGTON, Oct 2 R)
More trouble for Elliott Roos-
evelt popped up in Congress to-
day.
A 4OO,0O0-word record of the
investigation into his financial
troubles was filed with the
House yesterday.
But Ways and Means commit
tee members. both Republicans
and Democrats, told a reporter
it left unanswered this question:
SHOULD Elliott be required to
pay income tax on the $196, 900
he didn't repay on $500, 900
loan from John A. Hartford?"
The committeeman said the
question should be settled be-
cause otherwise the government
stands to lose between $35, 900
and $4,000.
This condition exists, they
said, because the Bureau of In
ternal revenue ruled-,and the
Hartford was not liable for a
committee concurred - tn
tax on the $4,000.
The Republicans said they
thought Elliott should be forced
to pay. The Democrats said they
weren't sure.
Representatives of the Bu-
reau have been asked for a re-
port on this phase of the in
quiry and it will be considered
by the committee after it be-
comes available" Rep. Eberhar-
ire (D-Pa) said in an interview.
The Republicans also urged
that further inquiry be made
into other loans reported to
have been made to Elliott. Dem
ocrats had no comment on this.
In his testimony made public
yesterday Elliott took issue with
Republican contentious that the
late President played an i'm
portant part" in arranging the
100000 loan and initiated" its
$4,000 settlement by Jesse Jones
then Secretary of Commerce.
Elliott said his father knew OF
and approved the transactions,
but did not instigate them. He
added that he, himself, asked
Jones to settle the debt.

Her greatest worry was that
the natives would break into

were among the first places the
natives searched. No place she
thought of seemed safe. Finally
her womanly intuition gave her
the perfect answer.
