PRESIDENT'S VIEWS ON RADIO PRAISED Senator Dill Sees in Moésaq'e_ Real Aid in Solution of Problems. " Benator Dill of Washington sees in President Coolidge's message to Con- gress a real impetus toward solution of the radio problem. The author of the Senate bill for the regulation and control of broadcasting, does mot agree with the presidential viewpoint, but he thinks that President Cool- idge's recommendation on radlo “em- phasizes the need for decision on this big problem and opens the door to con- ferences that ought to lead to perma- nent legislation.” The PreSident's proposals to Con- gress, Tuesdav would return regula- tion and promotion of radio to the De- partment of Commerce, with a board sjtting periodically in Washington to determine who shall broadcast, under what conditions, and when. ‘The mes- rage opposed in principle “further in- dependent agencies in the Govern- ment” such as the permanent com- mission proposed for handling radio matters. Senator Dill's own bill, which pass- ed the Senate at the last session, would leave radio in the hands of a permanent commission like the Inter- state Commerce Commission. On the other hand, the White bill, which passed the House last session, would leave regulation in the hands of the Secretary of Commerce, with a com- mission meeting at intervals to review appeals from his decisions. Senator’s Bill Quoted. While neither the Dill nor the ‘White bill conforms with the White House desire, the one framed by Rep- resentative White of Maine is nearest the presidential suggestion. Yet Sena- tor Dill does not believe there will be a deadlock in the conference com- mittee of the two houses when they get together to thrash out the matter, despite the apparent standpat attitude evident on both sides up to now. Since his return to Washington for the session Senator Dill's attitude, like that of Representative White, has been distinctly conciliatory. They take seriously, it is plain, the urgent need of clearing the atmosphere of the chaos that has resuited from broken- down control. Each, as a member of the conference committee of both houses, serts his intention of striv- ing for agreement. States President’s Position. “The President,” Senator Dill said today, “sees the head of a body sep- srate from the Department of Com- merce. 1 think it is possible to give a commission rather large powers and at the same time leave part to the Department of Commerce. This re- mark indicates that compatibility be- tween the divergent houses is far from fmpossible, for Senator Dill previously wanted Secretary Hoover entirely out of the picture. The question of the amount of control to be divided will doubtless be the main issue at the conferences, the first of which was to be called today by Senator Watson of Indiana, chairman. Senator Watson's fliness may cause a postponement for a few days, however. COLLECTION COSTS CUT. Reduction of 14.6 Per Cent Re- ported in Gathering of Taxes.

JUDD was wont to say frequently between & smile and a sigh: “The Streeters are ‘my neighbors and Sally is the ‘sweetest thing imaginable, but heaven: defend me if she ever gets into my geometry class and I have to -teach her the difference between an ispsceles; triangle and a rhomboid.” ) Meanwhile the teachers of the fower grades were having their trials trying to fill Saily Streeter’s lovely head with less stern fa®ts. Sally was willing, but she had no aptitude. Miss Steel called it capacity. “Sally has no_ capacity,” she sald over dnd over. If Sally had heard her she would - no doubt innocently have argued that papa would buy her one of the necessary things, what- ever they were. . For in Sally’s youth- ful opinion papa ‘could supply the lack of that which nature had simply over- looked. 5 Bright girls like Mary Johnson and Harriet Heath caifled her Silly Sally. They swallowed knowledge as if it were plum cake, they won 'honors, they forged ahead. Sally hung back, troubled and uncertain. How could Harriet remember the capitals of States, how could she reel off the multiplication table like that? To Sally, Harriet’s receptivity was un- canily. She looked aghast at the thick books whose contents she was ex- pected - to transfer, neatly labeled, to the pigeonholes of. their brain. At home Papa and Mamma Streeter suffered anguish of - spirit because Sally could, not keep up with her classes. In vain papa bought and scolded; in vain mamma wheedled and prayed. Sally could not do what she could not. “She will never be able to earn her own living,” old Mrs. Kelly said. “And the Streeters can't afford to support her. Jim Streeter is more in- dulgent than he can afford now.” Mrs. Streeter - pitied herself. She had been a teacher before her mar- riage and her great ambition was to send Sally to college, to equip her for intellectual life and service. Her dis- appointment was heartrending. As for Mr. Streeter, he was not a showy man and he was doing, as he said, “tevery lick that was in him,"” without earning all the money they needed. He had hoped vainly that Sally would help out the family exchequer. . In spite of all this, Sally contifiued to grow prettier and prettier. She was exquisitely small and golden and pink, ke a bunch of dainty flowers. She could sing a wee bit, make a cake, dust a room, but there her accomplish- ments ended. Prof. Judd, who had divided all mankind into three types, designated = Sally’s as social. The mechanical and abstract types did the earning, the social merely decorated. But Sally was a very charming dec: oration for a large area of dreary world. And she was the most com- fortable-dispositioned thing alive. Nothing, not even her own short. comings, ever disturbed her. The Summer she was 16 the prince came to Westmere for a visit to his THE EVENING STORY THE EVENING grandfather, who lived in the old stone house on the hill. The prince’s real name was, Albert Linden, and he was old Joe Linden's grandson. His mother, old Joe's daughter, had married a man who had made some millions of dollars and then died leaving everything to his son via his miother. Albert Linden was & vig- orous, brilliant young fellow of 19 and the world was at his feet. He was learning to administer the great business which should presently be his. A tutor attended him closely. His mother, whose health' was lan- guid and who could not get on with her father, was Summering at an Eastern Coast resort. Albert liked the mountains. He was coaching for some stiff exams, but he found time to meet a few of the younger Westmere people. He met Sally at a party and danced with her three times. Then he went away and apparently forgot her. But Sally did not forget him. He had made the deepest of all the im- pressions her little brain had received. His money meant nothing to her. She had not a calculating spirit, but his face, his voice, his smile, meant everything. Shetreasured herthoughts of him, since she had nothing else to treasure. Three vears passed. Sally’s mother became ill and Sally assumed the re- sponsibility of the housekeeping. She displayed genuine skill, but still, as Mrs. Heath said, it needed no special perspicacity to keep a small houne like the Streeters’. Even here Sally 8ot no credit, you see, but she did not mind. Sally never let things trouble her. She could'lay them aside until called for. And she kept on growing more and more lovely every day, for her love for the prince lent a dreami- ::fls to hei:‘ b;lue eyes, a tenderness tc r mouth that were we ey e wellnigh irre- Prof. Judd's son John wooed her ardently, but she only shrugged her gt 124, et At 0 grew weary - possible and engaged to Har- riet Heath. - Mary Johnson's older brother tried hard to make Sally love him, but she only pouted a negative. Mrs. Streeter wept. o “Darling: You are throwing good chances away. And you know daddy is terribly in debt and—and Horace Johnson's father is one whom he owes' the most to.” This saddened Sally. “All right, mother,” she replied. “Horaee is away on business for his father. I can't write letters, but the minute Horace gets back I'l tell him I'll have him.” That was the way matters stood when suddenly the prince came. He picked Sally up on the street and brought her home in his car, he called that evening, he called the following morning, he took her to drive that afternoon, he invited everybody in her crowd to dinner at the Fern in her honor. The third day he proposed-and Sally accepted him. “I've loved you for three years, Sally,” he said. Sally smiled. She did not tell him she had loved him for three years and in_that she was wise. Harriet Heath looked coldly at the great black opal surrounded with dia- monds which had been a family hefr- loom and which Albert gave Sally for her bethrothal ring. They were jed within six weeks and -Sally had the simplest of wed- dings. But she went with Albert yachting on the Mediterranean and when she came back she was placed in a house with four servants to wait on her. ., Nobody in Westmere ever married so well or so happily as Silly Sally. Maybe her head was not so empty after all. If she could not learn mathematics she could keep her hus- band's love, and when the Judds and Heaths and Johnsons see her name mentioned in the paper it is always as the “charming and beautiful Mrs. Linden, everybody's favorite.” » The End. * (Covyright. 1036.) 11th .See 1519 L St. WM.
