The measure now goes to conference con-ference with the house, which has passed a similar measure. The important differences, affecting the choice of an administrative body to supervise exchange operations oper-ations and establishing the method meth-od of controlling margin speculation, specula-tion, will be ironed out. Opposition Crumples As passed, the bill carried with it several amendments to the securities se-curities act of 1933 liberalizing the often criticized law. The house bill had no such amendments amend-ments and the exact form of these also will be settled in conference. The slight opposition which had prevailed against the bill crumpled crum-pled in the closing hours of debate de-bate when Republican Floor Leader Lead-er .Charles L. McNary, Ore., announced an-nounced he would support the bill and oppose any move to delay action on it. Outright attacks were made on the measure in debate. Attention was directed chiefly at amendments amend-ments seeking to meet criticism, particularly that leveled at requirements re-quirements forcing listed corporations cor-porations to make periodic public disclosure of their financial condition, con-dition, and the status of their business affairs. Lobby Fights Bill Inspired by disclosures of the senate banking committee investigation investi-gation which started as a hunt for stock exchange "bears" and extended into a thorough probe pf practices and malpractices Wall Street and the banking world, the issue of stock exchange regulation came to a, -climax at the present session of congress. Against it was directed what was described as one of the most powerful lobbies in the capital in recent years. Public feeling was apparently so insistent on passage, however, that these lobbying ac-tivties ac-tivties were scarcely reflected I on the floors of congress.

UTAH COUNTY, UTAH, SUNDAY, WEST HOPES FOR RAIN TO SAVE CROPS : Drought In Midwest -Taking Heavy Toll; 3 States Report Rains CHICAGO, May 12 (U.R) Skies fled with rain liung over the inland states today, with a promise of relief for parched farms and dusty cities suffering from the worst drought of a generation. gener-ation.

What a soaking rain would mean to the world's richest farm territory was indicated dramatically dramatic-ally as grain speculators scrambled scram-bled to cover yesterday at the first intimation that an end of the drought was in sight. May wheat futures, which sold at 93 cents in the morning after an 18-cent advance in two weeks, tobogganed in an hour to 88 3-8 cents.

By unblemished 1 don't mean there was a total absence of wrinkles. Worry had left those, plenty of them. And the wrinkled wrin-kled hands told of countless hours of toil. But she had the clear skin of excellent health, and her eyes were sparkling. "Sure, I'm having a good time now," she said. "But I almost waited too Iqng. For over '() years my husband and I worked desperately -hard to give the children chil-dren a good home and all that goes with it. We sent them to college. They're married now." She sighed just the least bit wistfully. Then she brightened. "And now my husband and I are doing the things we've waited all these years to do. We have a good car and go when we feel like it. We stay at good hotels, we see good shows, take in the night clubs occasionally." She's probably getting more fun out of life than a young person. She has the wisdom of age, the judgment that comes with long experience and the appreciatitm that follows long years of worry and hardship. She's fortunate. She's been a successful success-ful mother and wife, and she's getting her reward. Others are not so lucky.

Year after weary year they economized that the children might have the best. They managed to accumulate a meager savings for the day when the last ehild would be able to take, care of him--self.' Then, worn out with years of toil, the mother died three months after th last child married. The father died aM'ew months later. They had spent their life economizing, struggling toward that day when they could enjoy the things that were meant for them. They are like the hundreds, thejthpu-sands, thejthpu-sands, who pass up pleasures, who'econ-omize, who'econ-omize, who deny themselves in anticipation anticipa-tion of the great day when they shall be financially free. v Few mothers indeed emerge from the years of toiand care to spend the afternoon after-noon of life in the sunshine. Motherhood is glorious. It is the supreme su-preme conception of love to give that children chil-dren may get the best things from life. But it is rather pitiful that women must forfeit all pleasure, must economize and toil to the point that health fails and old age becomes only a bitter sojourn. Every year a mother should have a vacation from home and children. Less economizing and a little more spending on mothers for good clothes, entertainment, travel, will make them better women and better mothers. Here's a toast to that white-haired mother who is out having a good time. She's earned it. - But then, so have all mothers, since the first month of motherhood.
