EARTH * * GASH PAYWENT FOR VETERANS CAUSES STIR Renewed Agitation Arises Both Houses of CO:IE-CSS COMMITTEES ARE HEARING 2 SIDES m QUAKE Administrator Hines Gives Explanation—Rela- tive Values WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. 3.— Agitation over the veterans' bonus legislati » whirled with renewed fury today before BSenate and House ommittees. Admigistrator Hines warned that “we have reached the point of con- nection in veterans' relief when we must give serious consideration as to where we are going.” He made this statement before the Senate committee. In the House, Representativel Garner of Texas, called attention to “unusual developments” in Szc- retary of Treasury Mellon’s econ- omic views. A House committee heard E. D. TCuffield, President of the Pruden- tial Life, give testimony. Administrator Hines saild he did not believe the veterans would advocate o total cash honus pey- ment of certificates as proposed, ano which would disrupt the coun- try The Administrator contended there is a misunderstanding among veterans as to what the certificates represent. He said many believed! the face value is the value of the certificates now and said if they knew of their present value in cash there would “be a less serious demand for cash payment.” ——————— WELCH BILL IS GIVEN APPROVAL BY HOUSE COM. Requires Floating Canner-! ies to Designate Spec- ific Dstricts WASHINGTON, D. C.,, Feb. 3— The Welch Bill to require floating canneries in Alaska to file notice of operating districts, has been approved by the House Fisheries Committee.

Oper- ators will be required to file with the Secretary of Commerce on or not later than December 1 of the preceding year, a statement of pro- posed operation place for the next salmon season. Oklahoma Farmers Adopt New Methods CHICKASHA, Okla, Feb. 3—| Like the threshing outfits that har- vest wheat in other communities, farmers of this neighborhood are using an ensilage cutter to fill their silos. Trading work, members of the, crew travel from farm to farm storing the winter feed. The system evolved as a result! of the success of W. E. Daniels and his two sons with trench silos cn the three farms they manage. Pocasset farmers build their silos eight feet deep, eight feet wide at the bottom, and 12 feet wide at the| top. ! | BISHOP 2 MRs. JaMEs CANNON, IR ; 1LN. MRs.MorGaN F LaiRsoN. NEW YORK, Feb. 3—When Dr. Edward Lyman Cornell issued his now famous exhortation, “Marry your secretary” to the student body of Northwestern University, he imagined, as did most of the lis- teners, that he was expounding a new idea. He wasn't. Marriages between secretariesand their bosses, have been taking place for a long, long time and— there’s this to say for Dr. Cornell's theory—they turn out in most cases eminently successful. For instance, Miss Ada Schmidt landed here from Denmark a short five years ago. For three years she worked as secretary and compan- ion torthe aged mother of Gover- nor Morgan F. Larson, of New Jer- sey. Then, to the surprise of his| family and friends, Governor Lar- son and Miss Schmidt went and got married. And happily married at that. La Follette Romance Old “Fighting Bob” La Follette was another luminary in the politi- cal sky who married the lady whose duty it was to record his words in black and white.

Of course, one must not assume from the foregoing instances that the paths of secretarial romance— (as we'll call it—is always bestrewn | with primroses.

C, Feb. 3.— Fresident “Hoover has backed the entrenched Republicans in their ‘and against Federal appropria- ons to the Red Cross. The President was given all de- ails by Senator Watson, Floor eader, at a breakfast at the White Touse this morning. The Democrats and Republican ndependents are attem pting to orce an extra session. Senator Watson said the Presi- lent agrees that the Republicans re perfectly right in their stand. Despite the bold front of both ides it is believed possible some compromise will come within a day or two to break the tension cegarding the six-point relief pro- gram insisted®upon by the Demo- :rats. ——————— REVOLTERS ARE STRUNG UP IN PUBLIC PLAGES Turkish Reactionaries Swing from Gibbets in Early Morning Hours MENEMEN, Turkey, Feb. 3.—The bodies of twenty-elght Turkish Moslem reactionaries swung from eibbets today. The men were con- demned for an attempt to start a Holy War against Western customs and for a return to the days of the Calophate. The men were led from their cells at daybreak today and hang- ed. Gibbets were erected all over the town where it was possible and in places where the victims had Miss Rachel Wilson, while she was| A notable example of the latter was harangued the Menemen populace still attending high school and | when he took over his father’s busi- |ness he made her his secretary.

W. Post, who founded the Postum Company. E. M. Statler, the late | millionaire hotel-owner, married his secretary. She continued to be his chief assistant while he lived. After his death she was appointed man- |ager of the enormous’ string of | Statler hotels. Bishop James Cannon, Jr., of the Methodist Episcopal Church, mar- |ried his secretary last year in Lon- the case of Mrs. Lilllan Altwater Heckscher. Heckscher’s first wife, who had won her divorce from him only three weeks before he married his secretary, brought suit for $250,~ 1000 for alienation of affections against her successor. There were few primroses on that path. There are many angles to be considered in this secretary-boss marriage idea which Dr. Cornell has failed to take into account. | Chief among them is the problem of recreation and relaxation from | business thoughts and worries. When a man marries his secre- tary and she continues to help him in his business, there ceases to be |any such thing as “aftdr office” hours. The couple are in each on December 23 to arise in behalf of Islam and destroy Western in- novations.
