Mr. Van Devanter also was quoted as saying that “the court in the last session did not reverse itself any more than it has at times in the past.” Long Considered Resigning. ‘The former justice said that his resignation and the action of the Sen- ate Judiciary Committee on the President’s Supreme Court bill was “only co-incidental.” “I had intended first to retire five years ago,” he said. “But I stayed on Increasingly 1 became convinced in my conclusion that I owed it to myself to quit. “It was no surprise that I did that The surprise lay only on the time that I did it.

A group of newly arrived Boy Scouts were bunched around the east side of Union Station the other morning, where their view of the city was lim- ited “Where's the Capitol?” one asked a local lad, who appeared, still dripping, from a plunge in Columbus Fountain. “Over there,” was the careless re- sponse, accompanied by a thumb-over- the-shoulder gesture. ‘What sort of a place is it?” “Oh, not much.

And he's careful now to see | |that none of his fingers project | through the mail slot. | | He's cleared up a muystery, too.! Seems one morning Miss Pierce found | the finger of a man's glove in the mid- | dle of the living room floor.

[ Few days later the postman re- lieved evervbody’'s mind by apparing !wearing a working glove minus one | finger. Seems Ted. the pet terrier | | i of the household, had been in an extra hurry to deliver the mail to| | his mistress one morning, took a finger of the glove along with the letters. Then Ted evidently decided the glove-finger didn't look like any mail he'd handled before and just dropped it on the floor and carried the letters as usual. * ok ¥ % LADIES' DAY.

She was riding out Massachusetts avenue the other evening on a Rockville bus, when the driver sud- denly slapped on the brakes, fran- tically flagged down an inbound bus. He leaped out, dashed across the street, returned in half a min- ute with a pair of white gloves, handing them to one of his pas- sengers. Seems the lady had left them on that bus on her way to town, asked this driver how to get them back. He asked what time she'd left Rockville—and the rest was simple. * ok k% GAG.

By the Associated Press. HYDE PARK, July 6.—President Roosevelt expressed full confidence in the future of America “as long as we | maintain the democracy of our man- ners and the democracy of our hearts” in an upstate New York Independence day speech yesterday. Ending a five-day stay at his| Dutchess County estate at Hyde Park, the President left Highland, on the eastern shore of the Hudson River, late last night to return to Washington.

Speaking of the growing “‘complexi- | i | ties” of government as economic con- ditions change, he said “I hope the new generation, just like the older generation, will realize that in meeting these new conditions we are not changing ‘he fundamentals of the American form of government “In my belief, we are always going ' to keep our feet on the ground as a Nation in the future, just as we have in the past.” It was a speech full of homilies to a village picnic crowd of several thou- sand who boasted of ancestors who made ““July Fourth possible.” “This has been a good Fourth of July for the country,” the President said. “We are so much better off in the United States than a whole lot of other nations of the world.” Cites Shirt-Sleeve Contrast. As an example of this “democracy,” he told the crowd assembled beside the little white-framed church of the picnic he gave at his Val-Kill cottage Sunday afternoon, where the host and guests sat around and chatted by a | swimming pool in shirt sleeves. He said one of his guests, Emil Lud- wig, German biographer who has been exiled into Switzerland, was “perfectly amazed” at the informality and lack of military protection for the President. He quoted Ludwig as | saying: “You know, if this happened any- where in Europe, whether it was a | | dictatorship or a monarchy or a re- | public, the head of the nation would | have been surrounded by men in uni- | | form. soldiers with bayonets, and the members of press would have ap- peared in frock coat and silk hats in- stead of shirt sleeves and bathing suits.” Asserting this example of the “dif- ference” between the American form of living and that in Europe could be multiplied a “thousand times,” the President added: 3 | “That is why I say I am confident of the future of this country as long as we maintain the democracy of our manners and the democracy of our hearts.” DIES IN REMORSE BLUEFIELD, W.

They de- clareq the alterations would make the bill “thoroughly democratic.” Jones Outlines Plans. g Describing the existing soil con- servation and domestic aliotment act as legislation that was “working well,” Jones outlined the following basis for new legislation: 1. Simplification of the present pro- gram. | 2. Larger local control over the exis! ing and new legislation 3. Selection of local farmer com- mittees by farmers themselves. 4. The program should apply to ail farm production rather than to a few basic commodities. = 3. Establishment of the ‘“ever- normal” granary for storage of sur- pluses in fat years for release in poor crop years. 6. Limitation of the benefits of the programs to farmers who comply with the farm program &s a whole. 7. Provisions for marketing control in times of oversupply. | Expects Roosevelt Support. Senator Pope said he expected ad- ministration support of the Pope-Mc- Gill measure, but Congress would act before next ses- sion. The original bill, drafted by a group of farm leaders. embodies both the ‘“ever-normal” granary idea of stabilizing production and features of the invalidated A. A. A, includ- ing contracts with farmers. Its anounced objective is to main- tain “parity” prices, based on 1909-14 yields, for cotton, wheat, corn, rice and tobacco. A system would be set up for storing surpluses in years of heavy yield and releasing them in times of shortage. The existing soil conservation pro- gram would be made a part of the proposal, through controlling produc- tion of any surpluses which might interfere with maintenance of the | prices sought. H ‘The complex measure provides for contracts between the Agriculture De- partment and ‘“co-operators” and crop control through diversion of acreage to offset surpluses Pope and McGill proposed a ref- erendum of producers in June of any year before any control measures could be undertaken. They struck out a flexible tariff provision to which Secretaries Wallace and Hull objected. | Under their plan, a third of thel producers of any commodity could block production control steps. 63 TUBERCULAR YOUNG SENT TO HEALTH CAMP Sixty-three children suffering from tuberculosis were given a new chance for life today when they entered the District Tuberculosis Association's health camp at Bald Eagle Hill, on Nichols avenue, beyond Anacostia.
