A bill was introduced in congress to pay the womans husband $3,000 damages, and Amos W. Woodcock, director of prohibition enforcement, told a subcommittee of the house committee on claims that he recommended against payment of the claim because he did not consider the dry agent guilty of reckless driving.

PICKARD CONGRESSIONAL action was on the bill completed . by the house and senate Tuesduy night.

The major house changes In the furlough plan were reduction of the exes- and to 1,000 front $1,200 emption tablishing a . graduated scale of pay cuts for those employees whose serv- Ices were so needed they could not be given a months leave without pay, as will- - the employees who can be . . spared.

' Even the President is invited to.do-hi. part, the measure providing that . whatever portion Of his salary he wishes to turn, back is acceptable to the Treasury department. President Hoover had indicated liis willingness . to accept a smaller salary as part of ' the economy program. The same provision is applied- to. federal judges, who, like the President,-'arexempted by Constitution from salary changes during their terms.

Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, always a deep student of international affairs, is of this opinion, and in a speech in the senate he declared the replies of the countries named, even embody the cigar expectation of a war in which the United . States might' be embroiled. Therefore, said the senator, it is time for this country to take stock of its national defense policy, and he offered three suggestions. To Democratic senators he suggested that they applaud the President's effort to . bring about world concord through the reduction of armaments. To the Democratic 'convention in Chicago, he suggested that there be a full written into the platform declaration as to the army and navy that will assure defense, and adequate preparations against these peoples who are refusing to Join us in an effort for peace and are contemplating events which in their judgment will surely, involve us in war." To the President he suggested the Withdrawal of a proposition that forhad flouted.- in order eign .that the future course of the nation as to its foreign relations and its defense, might be made an open campaign issue-- , with the people given opportunity to speak in November. .Premier 'Herriot.s cabinet decided-othis line otf policy regarding' the disarmament plan and reparations: 1.

C. Stone a letter demanding a full explanation of the hoard's sale, last fall, of 15,000,000 bushels of wheat to China. The chief question In the minds of congressional Inquirers is why the farm board sold wheat to the Nanking government on long term credit when advices from China are that China has paid cash for Canadian and Australian grain and has been selling large amounts of wheat to Russia and getting payment In cash. The farm board's transaction with China was fulfilled last fall and winter on the Nanking governments plea that its own granaries were empty, that it had no funds 'to make cash payments and that millions .of Chinese faced starvation. In approximately the 1ist four months of 1931 and the fir-s-t four months of this year, the United States sent to China 14,800,000 bushels of the farm boards stabilization wheat. It a'ccepted Chinas notes, partially secured by customs receipts, calling for paynient In 1953, 1934 .and 1935. During this same period, China'.s wheat exports to Russia, JapitfF-an- d Korea showed . surprising upward . fluctuations. Whether or ndt the Nanking governments ability to buy American wheat- - on credit made .it possible for Chinese shippers to increase their exports so suddenly was a question the critics wanted answered by Chairman ' . . . Stone.

The question of officers receiving bribes came up when Sir. Woodcock praised Officer Sligh as a man who had been offered bribes as high as $10,000 and had replied by kicking the men off the jioreh who offered the bribe."

Captain Davis says that the pelicans got all the bass the first day. On the other hand, the pelicans have stocked the sea with mullet, a strange, greasy, unpalatable fish. Davis says that the mullets hibernate In mud and were brought In by pelicans incased In mud pellets.

Wood, Kegittrm By - Persons who like to trace their back to William the or, or to some other famous hero of history, were ridiculed in a recent address before the Society of Genealogists in London by the British genealogical expert, T. R. Thomson. The majority of such claims rest, Mr. Thomson explained, upon similarity of surnames, but this is of no value at all, since the general use of surnames or family names dates back only a little more than 200 yenrs: Another difficulty is the fact lished by all genealogical researches that families and family names Invariably tend to become extinct In a "relatively few generations. The family blood may survive, more or less diluted by Intermarriage, but this usually is extremely difficult to trace, since the necessary exact records are lacking. y ' kills; Flying Into a Temper Touchy . . . irritable I Everything upsets her.

The child was under the care of a foster mother, who stated that it was well until one .evening she heard It move and, on going to the child, found it lying on Its face and looking unnatural. When medical aid arrived the child was dead. The necropsy was performed by the government pathologist, Sir Bernard Spilsbury, who said the child was a fine one and appeared to have been well cared for. He found a feather in the child's larynx and attributed death to laryngeal shock, which he said was rare. Apparently the child got the feather in its mouth and then inhaled it. Death was not attributed to asphyxia. 2. from a biological survey of the bay conducted under the direction ef the bureau of fisheries.
