Washington, July 15.—The administra- tion won its battle in congress today when the senate, responding to President Harding's recent request, recommitted the soldier’s benus bill indenitery to the finance commitice. The vote for re-committal was 47 to 29, and was interpreted by democrats to mean the “death” of uae bill but by 're- publican leaders to f~n postponemenc for eny a few monthe vith no substantial 188 to war veterans. Both parties divided on the roll call, nine republicans voting against it while eight democrats joined the bulk of repub- licans for re~committal.

It was announced that Senator Phipps républican, Colorado and Townsend, re- publican, Michigan, who were absent. were paired in favor of recommittal and ‘nat Senators Reed, of Missourf and Trammell, Florida, democrats, were aired against recomiaittal. T effort for an order directing early return of the bill to the senate was de- reated by a vote of 63 to 7. a motion ef senator Kenyon (Rep. Towa) to have the bill brought back early in January be- ing rejected. Semator Putmann (dem. Nev.) thereupon announced he would make a motion every week hereafter to sring the bill back from committee. voen Geomocratic op- ‘Wnenls and repubiican advocates of re- committal marked the closing debate. But they were mild as compared to the scenes which followed.the roll call. Senatorial dignity and rules were lost in the confusion. To add to the din, a mid-summer storm broke over the. cap- ital, pouring torrents of rain on the glass roof of vae senate while lightning flashes vied' with its lighfing system. The row broke Wwhen Senator McCum- ber was rq:ognized by the vice president to explain the effect of the bill's recom- mittal. Senators Robinson and Reed de- clared that there being no \‘nll or other business before the senate, Mr. Me- Cumber’s speec> was-not in order but the viee president rulcd in favor of Mr. ! McCumber. ! For two hours the parliamentary and personal wrangling continued. “There were many"tense moments, es- pecially when Senator McCumber and Reed walked toward each other on op- posite sides of the aise. Senator Robin- son and others, however, stepped between them. This occurred when Senator Reed referring to Mr. McCumber’s invitation l(or discussion of their differences “out- side,” declared: “I never saw a blackguard yet who did& not want to go outside to satle.” Both finally agreed to go over the re- cord and delete their remarks. The refunding operations at least as to the principal debtor nations, ought to be completed in a few months and the bonus bill then proceeded wit, Senator McCumber asserted. “1 can say with absolute assurance, to the American people and the American soldier, he added, “thatr this Dbill will be enacted into law and I am certain that its effective datq (July 1, 1922) of payments will not have to be extended. Delay will not deprive veterans of a single right under the bill” I-- During the disturbance, Senator Wat- Stormy clesies bel son of Georgia, several times, shouted to Senator McCumber to“sit down” and in- veighed against ‘“the cowardice with which the coldiers have been treated here today.” ~ This was received with applause trom the galleries. P “Those who wait at the sepulchre un- il this bonus bill is resurrected likely will become, I am afraid, old grey-haired men.” said Senator Reed. He inquired why it was “necessary” to have President Harding make his ad- dress before the senzte and Senator Wat- son, republican, Indiana, replied that re- publican senators had “insisted” upon it BEAUVAIS DINED WITH MRS, STILLMAN AND PARTY Poughkeepsie, N.

It has come to assume the proportions of a real business Advertising assists every department of any business that will take full advantage of it, every household that has need for it or can make use of it. Advertising is a building of public confidence, it is a guarantee of merchandise merit, it is a disseminator of information, and withal, advertising is one of the greatest builders of business morale that has ever been discovered. The_very strength of ‘advertising lies in the fact that both the advertiser and the consumer are gainers. Advertising to have its best effect should reach the greatest num- ber.
