COMMITTEE New National Governing Body Will Be Divided Fifty-Fifty Between Sexes. MUST SELECT D. C. MEMBER Three Ways of Naming Her Out- lined at Cleveland Session. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN., Staft Correspondeat of The Star. CLEVELAND, June 11.—The wom- have a fifty-fifty on the new Repub- committee. It was foregone conclusion that they would win. The Democrats have already given them such a privilege. The Republicans, however, held off until yesterday, though they had pro- vided for an associate membership on the national committee. Former Senator du Pont of Delaware went into the meeting yesterday of the rules committee with blood in his s opposing the women's proposi- tion. The committee gave only four votes against the women, however. Now comes the selection of the woman members of the national com- mittee. The rule adopted provides that they shall be elected or selected in the same manner that the male members are chosen. The District of Columbia has already chosen its national committeeman, Edward F. Colladay, picking him in the state convention of the District last May That convention is a thing of the past, however. Either a new conven- tion’ will have to be called or some provision must be made authorizing the appointment of the woman mem- bers of the national committee as a temporary measure, or the state del- -gation for the District should be allowed to make the choice, it was said today.

Senator Fess of Ohio, member of the drafting committee of the con- vention's platform committee, got himself into a jam at a meeting of the subcommitied last night. He arose and proposed a taxation plank, which he has had seriously at heart of Tax Revision Proposal. His proposal called for a commis- sion on tax revision, to be composed of a member of the Senate finance committee, members of the House ways and means committee and minority group made up of outsiders appointed by the President. Before he discussed his plank, Mr. Fess can- didly admitted that while he himself | out further issue of tax-exempt se- curitics, either by the federal gov. ernment or the siates. he had found that this was not finding as much | favor among the people as it might, and that he thought the convention “ought not to o too strong on iL" 1t seems that Senator Fess thought | meeting of the committee was | executive.

By Radio to The Star and the Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1924, PARIS, Jun> 17 —An enigma of demccracy which has caused trouble in republics throughout the ages is settled in so far as France is con- cerned by the triumph of the legisla- tive over the executive branch of the government, contingent on the resig- nation of President Millerand today. In Switzerland, the oldest republic of our day, the problem was solved in somewhat the same manner. In the United States, on the contrary, it is still much of a riddle as to who'is the stronger, President or Congress. M. Millerand's resignation proves several things. First, that no strong man should attempt to serve as Pres- ident of France; second, that no ‘rench president can have'a decisive voice in directing the affairs of the nation; third, that the office of presi- dent will now become more of a si- necure than ever; that the very princi- ple of “division of powers” of repub- lican constitutions is threatened. As intelligent observers point out, nobody should be surprised at the struggle which has just taken place, because its shadow has been looming up on the horizon for months. M. Millerand never made a secret of his tenets. ‘When he as- sumed office in_September, 1920, he made it clear that he would try to exercise more power than any presi- dent before him. He indicated that he would try to metamorphose the office of president into something more than it had been before. Indeed, even before his ad- vent Georges Clemenceau had been defeated for the same office because it was known that he held similar views. Furthermore, the present case, al- though decisive, is not the first one of its kind. Four other French prés- idents have resigned before the end of their terms— in 1873: Mac- Mahon, in 1579; in 1887, and Casimir Perler, 5. Everything tended to show that the final en- counter would have to be fought out some time on the basis of constitu- tional law. So far as Alexander Millerand is personally concerned, it can be as- sumed with certainty that this is ot the end of his political carcer. He will be back soon as a deputy in the Chamber and by the side of Poincare and Maginot as leader of the opposi- tion. There is already talk of making a| vacancy for him in the department Meurthe et Moselle. YOUR BONUS Questions That Bother You Will Be Answered in This Column.

There is no actual expenditure of money author- ized under the bonus act until March 1, 1925.

Before January 1, 1925, un- doubtedly Congress will have met and vassed an act to cover the actual sums expended for the necessary de- tail work. William R. Bailey Dies. William R.

Don’t Be A Whisker Farm! if you're in business to grow whiskers, don’t use with Gem for a minute every morning. Marvelous New The Fun Shop ieted by Maxson Foxhall Judell Dr. Traprock’s Clever Cat. “The expression, ‘the cat's whisk- ers, has always amused me,” said my good friend Dr. Walter E. Traprock, “but few people know of its origin. “The first cat to be referred to in this way belonged to me. The whiskers belonged to the cat. “This cat, whose name was Carrie Chapman, used to spend hours on the bank of the Housatonic River peering at the stream. The tragedy of a cat's life is that her favorite food lives in an element of which she is in mortal terror—water. “Then, one day, my cat acted so cheerful like that my curiosity was aroused and I followed her {o the river, There 1 saw an amazing sight. “She had taught herself to fish with her whiskers, which were long and very strong. Her first care was to curl them about her tafl, forming a hook at the end which she actually baited with a cricket, caught in the grass. Then, Iying on the upper side of a willow branch, she let her whiskers float on the surface. It was fascinating to see the lightning flash of her paws when she had lured a fish_within reach. “Gluttony, however, was her end Full of fish'and pride, she fell asleep one day, forgetting to unbait herself. A big pickerel yanked her into the water and she was drowned. The fish doubtless ate her, for they are as fond of cat as cats are of fish, though they get much less of it,” Sayings of Little Socrates as Re- ] ported BY SAMUEL HOFFENSTEIN, The lips that touch liquor should worry about mine.
