A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBER' T is Interesting to watch the shifting values in the leadership of the House as the Congress moves steadily on with the Democrats at the helm. Almost every day brings to the sur- face a new figure on the Democratic side of the cham- ber—a figure pe haps gererally lit- tie known before or one who in the past has had little 40 do with House proceedings F On the other hand, on the Re- publican side voices Taised lcudly and frequently in other days now are being stilled. The one- time majority has now become the minority. Consider the case of William B. Bankhead of Alabama, for example. He has been in Congress for 14 years, faithful in attendance and regular in his utterances on the floor of the House Yet no one in the press gallery grabbed a pencil when he started to speak in the past. He was just another Demo- crat—one of the minority “The other day he rushed to the de- fense of his party wheh it was being attacked, and before he finished he had bowled 'em over—Democrats and Republicans alike. He accomplished in publicity in that one speech perhaps more than he had in vears One by one they stick their heads up T PLUMMER. every day. Huddleston of Alabama made front pages all over the country | when he spoke his piece about the Hoover administration, Formerly he | perhaps considered himself lucky if he “got” the inside pages. The short, wiry Rankin of Missis- | sippi is anotier. They're even pass- ing the word around in the press gal- lery now that “Rankin will speak at | | 2:30 this afternoon.” And that’s some- | hing ucually done only for men like | Borah. "Arnold of Tllinois, Oliver of Alabama, | Sumners of Texas and McKeown of Oklahoma are others who are getting a | kick these days out of feeling that words th utter on the floor are not quickly forgotten ! Even the freshman Democrats feel ! cocky enough to sound off now. Un- less they were members of the majority | doubtless they wouldn't dare open their mouths for months Since the Democrats are in control Freshman” Speeney of Ohio feels that he can get up and tell every one from President Hoover on down the line what he thinks of them. And he did just | that the other day The ladies of this House” said Sweeney, “bebave lik> perfect gentle- men. A lot of the gentlemen of the House conduct themselves like a bunch of old It's going to take us a long time to t you Republicans have done,” but we face the task with a courageous heart Precocious utterances for a man to e on his fourth day in Congress! then Sweeney is on the side that's in. BEDTIME ST By Thornton ORIES W. Burgess. | | Who s prepared should be pl Has naught to lose and much t Re Jumper the Hare, whose big, spread- ing, hair-covered feet were of quite as much use to him as snowshoes to othr people, was having a thoroughly good time. He was teasing Reddy Fox and enjoying every minute of it. It wasn’t & nice thing to do, but Jumper didn't think of that. He is such a timid fel- Jow and had been so often hunted by Reddy Fox and given so many sudden frights that now that he had the op- portunity to tease Reddy he just couldn't resist the temptation. For once all the advantage was with him and he knew it. He could travel over the snow with ease and comfort while Reddy had to wade. So for once Jumper Was un- afraid of Reddy and was having a lot of fun by moving about within less than two jumps of where Reddy crouched in the snow, all the time pre- tending that he didn't know Reddy was anywhere about Now Mrs. Reddy had first started out Handwriting What It May Reveal.

She would perhaps find the dance s fascinating and profitable way to combine these seeming abilities. It is altogether possible she could derive considerable pleasure and favorable pub- licity by lecturing to women's clubs on related subjects, such as the history of the dance, etc. In such a manner she could mingle social and business interests to her advantage. She probably has a_tendency to feel depressed at times. This is hardly due to an inferiority complex, but is most lkely & normal physical reaction to high emotional tension which charac- terizes the artistic temperament. She probably would be benefited by sys- tematic body-building _exercises. A carefully planned diet might also help to make these despondent moods less frequent and depressing We should expect to find her a good social companion. She, seemingly, would enjoy the comradeship of others and probably is sought after in turn Gay parties would effectually frame her personality. Not at & quiet fire- side group, but in the brilliant and sophisticated salon, would she be most attractive.

Reddy's trail | was easy to follow. She knew that | Reddy having been along here so short | | a time before there was small chance that there would be an: | to even try to catch, but Mrs. Reddy learned long ago that taking matters | for granted and so being unprepared | for the unexpected may be the cause | of losing a good dinner, and she was | too hungry to take any such chance. ! So with ears, eyes and nose all work- | ing she moved along as carefully as if | no one had been ahead of her. So it | came about that she saw Jumper be- | fore he saw her. The instant she saw him Mrs. Reddy froze—that is, she stood perfectly still. Then when Jumper was not look- | | ing her way she flattened down in the | snow and little by little worked her way until she was hidden by a snow- | covered hemlock bough. Of course, | she had seen Reddy at once. She knew | | that Reddy was prepared to spring the | instant Jumper should come within | | reach. and wait ! It was a long wait. It was a very| | long wait. Jumper went all around | Reddy, yet never quite within jumping distance. He set down just out of | | reach and there he continued to sit | | for the longest time. Mrs. Reddy made | up her mind that if she could get a | little nearer there would be a chance that Jumper would come near enough | to her. Anyway there would be two chances to catch him where there was now only one. Very, very carefully she began to work her way around, keeping out of sight behind snow-covered trees, crawl- | ing through the snow and taking care never to move when Jumper was 1ook- ing in her direction. At last she]| reached just the place she wanted. ! She was nicely hidden and by the She settled herself to watch | | tracks in the snow she knew shat| | | THE INSTANT SHE SAW HIM MRS. REDDY FROZE. Jumper had been right there several times. Very likely he would come again. If he did, will Mrs. Reddy grinned at the thought. Now Reddy didn’t know that Jumper was teasing him. He still thought he had not been seen. And Jumper didn’t know that Mrs. Reddy was anywhere about. And Mrs. Reddy didn't know that Jumper was just amusing himself. So, you see, almost anything ml%ht happen Mrs. Reddy licked her lips. “I can- not think of anything that would taste better or be more filling than that fel- low,” thought she. “A little more patience and we will have him. It is well I followed Reddy over here. Jumper is headed this y. I do be- lieve he is coming straight to me.” (Copyright, 1931.) D. C, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 2 one for hcr; I SCREEN ODDITIES BY CAPT.
