CINCINNATI, Ohio, April 13 —Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth, widow of the late Speaker of the House, Nicholas Longworth, has no plans for the im- mediate future other than to remain in mourning at Rockwood, the Longworth home here. Mrs. Longworth spent yesterday in se- clusion at the Longworth home with only members of her family and rela- tives of Mr. Longworth present. Miss Mildren E. Reeves, secretary to Mr. Longworth, planned to remain at Rockwood a few days with Mrs. Long- worth and Paulina, 6-year-old daughter and only child of Mr. and Mrs. Long- worth, before returning to Washington. Mrs. Theodore Rcosevelt, sr.; Mr. and Mrs. Kermit Roosevelt, Mr. and Mrs. Archie Roosevelt and Mrs. Richard Derby, the former Ethel Roosevelt, left .[for their homes yesterday after spend- ing the dly at the lonswor(h hume. OIL PRICES CONTROL BY GOVERNMENT URGED Borah Hits Curtailment of Pro- duction Without Right to Gov- ern Cost to Public. By the Assoclated Press, If anybody is going to control ofl and gasoline prices, Semator Willlam E. Borah wants the Government to do it. In a statement yesterday, the ldaho Republican indicated he would approve legislation to make the petroleum in- dustry subject to Government regula- tions similar to those now applied to public utilities. He did not say what steps he contemplated in that direction, but asserted: “We certainly will not consent to pro- duction .being controlled without con- trolling the price the public must pay.” Senator Burah took this position to- ward administration moves seeking limitation of production and imports as a means of relieving the oil industry’s depression. He challenged a plan evolved recently by the Oil States Ad- visory Committee to restrict domestic production as well as efforts to obtain an agreement from big companies to re- duce lmporu lm'or Belts in Europe. In the craze for belts which have been encircling nearly all femirfine fol- lowers of fashion in Europe, has ap- peared the mirrar belt. It is for eve- ning wear and is composed of tiny mirrors studded over a flexible foun- dation. When the wear dances it glit- ters like a chain of diamonds. Sign of “Mumps Nailed on Church Keeps 200 Away Family Moves in, Then Puts Up Warning to Re- buff Pastor and People. By the Associated Press. . ANTIOCH, I1ll, April l'—m hun- dred parishioners, fid by Rev, Philip Bohi and his church trustees, * walked right up to the door of the Hickory Corners Methodist Church yesterday and then walked right back again without trying to hold any services. One little word, spelled “mumps,” was the reason. It was written on big sign that was nalled across !.ha front door of the church, inside of which Clarence Spierling, his wife and two children watched the proceedings with interest. Near Splerling was his wife, who is alleged to have shooed away one of the elders the other day, using the family shotgun to enforce her demand that he go away. Announcing to the assembled throng that “services would be postponed for another week,” Rev. Mr. Bohl, who is pastor of the affiliated Antioch Metho- dist Church, remarked that it would appear , unseemly to open & church service with & fight and that, besides, there was no question but that mumps could be caught. The Splerlings claimed the trustees lost their right of ownership by failure to hold regular services, and moved in with their dog to make themselves at home more than & month ago, when the house they occupied across the street was destroyed by nre CERMAK ON WAY SOUTH Chicago Mayor to Be Welcomed by Miami Beach Late Today.

Still there is some cause for rejoicing. Today there is far less ““charging it" than there was a few years ago. Today there are far fewer conjugal scenes, with Papa tearing his . hair and Mama weeping silently, over the monthly bill from the grocer's or butcher's. The reason for this salutdry state of affairs is this: fashions in ladies have changed. It used to be smart to be stupid. Now it's smart to be intelligent.

NEW IMPEACHMENT court of evolution as the source the afl%um final of AMENDMENT ASKED s Bingham Proposes Giving| Senate and House Both= Right to Start Action. Seeking for the Senate the right to institute impeachment proceedings against Federal officeholders, Senator Hiram Bingham yesterday proposed a Constitutional lmendmcm for “consid- eration and criticism” by the people. The Connecticut Republican held the present system, under which the House impeaches and the Senate tries an of- fender, has not worked, because a m: jority 'of the House usually is elected by the same party electing the Presi- dent and is “for many reasons loyal to him and unlikely to impeach any of his appointees.” Senate “More Willing.” ‘The Senate, on the other hand, is “much more willing to criticize mem- bers of the administration than is the pointed out that_only one-third is House,” Senator Bingham said. He clected at the time o President is chosen wnslder themselves under ligations to the President for their suc- cess at the polls.” Under Senator Bingham's plan, if the Senate impeached a Government official the House would be the trial body and vice versa if the House impeached. The trial court would be composed of 10 senior members of each party, four senior members of the Supreme Court, with the Chief Justice or Vice President as presiding officer. “It is obvious,” Senator Bingham said. “that in the last analysis the safest protection which the people can have Islln‘t arbitrary, Lyrmmul or dishon. iblic officials is through impeach. ment proceedings of some sort or other.. The fact that during the past l«! yun the House has only once the Senate an administrative or execu tive officer appointed by the President uhmku the present system does not work.” Effectiveness Held Destroyed. ‘The tendency of the Senate in recent years to investigate cabinet officers, bu- reau and commission chiefs, he argued, has lestroped its effectiveness as a Phallip- Smith of the Power tor Bingham said the impeach Mr. Smith, tfld could not constitutionally do “Accordingly, undér the rules, 1t iy utu-ny peachment, and_therefore tional; second, beenl.le I Smith.
