Affairs of Week at Nation's Capital (Correspondence to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—John N. Garner, a Texas farmer, will be the next Speaker of the House of Representatives because of the success the Democratic had in the recent by-elections, which gives that party the right to organize the Lower House. By virtue of his office, Representative Garner will become one of the most powerful men in Washington, although the autocratic powers the speaker possessed in the days of Czar Reed and Uncle Joe Cannon have been abolished. In spite of the way his privileges have been curtailed, his office is one of tremendous power, particularly when the incumbent belongs to opposite political faith to that held by the President. It is many years since a dirt farmer has been Speaker of the House, in fact one has to go back of Civil War days to find a tilt of the soil in the position. Mr. Garner’s elevation to the post comes at an opportunity time for the agricultural party, as many of the problems now confronting Congress have to do with farm matters. While his constituency has more to do with cotton than with wheat and corn, yet the underlying problems are much the same, and he can be expected to throw the weight of his decision in favor of the farming bloc. Garner’s own farming specialty is pecans, one of the big crops of all Gulf States. Political observers here expect to see the export debenture and equalization fee issues raised early during the coming session of Congress. They claim that both measures will be defeated when they come before the House and that they will cease to become political questions of importance before another year has rolled around. It is said here that there is a marked tendency on the part of the farming blocs to drop their lobbying and rely more on the individual and collective efforts of farmers to better their condition. Legislation has not done much for agriculture, they claim, and they feel see the export debenture and equalization fee issues raised early during the coming session of Congress. They claim that both measures will be defeated when they come before the House and that they will cease to become political questions of importance before another year has rolled around. It is said here that there is a marked tendency on the part of the farming blocs to drop their lobbying and rely more on the individual and collective efforts of farmers to better their condition. Legislation has not done much for agriculture, they claim, and they feel they can get further along by long-time planning on crops and by interjecting the issues of higher tariff on competitive articles that affect the farmer. Bananas, cocoanut oil and other imports similar in character will come under fire, as they compete with American farm products. Another piece of legislation that will affect farming interests is the predicted probe of Fruit Industries, the California co-operative that has been pushing the sale of wine bricks with the knowledge of the Government. It is said an investigation will be had of the Farm Board's connection with the California grape producers and an effort made to bring the latter's activities more strictly in line with the spirit of the Eighteenth Amendment. The advancement of Representative Garner to the Speakership will cause his mantle as Democratic Floor Leader to descend on Joseph W. Byrns of Tennessee. Representative Byrns is little known to the general public, although from now on he will loom as an important figure in legislation. One of the echoes of the recent investigation of the Navy League's attack on President Hoover for his economy program on naval expenditures is expected to be an investigation of the committee which investigated Gardiner's charges. Friends of Gardiner claim the President's committee was filled with friends of Mr. Hoover and that such a committee was unable to arrive at an unblased report. One of the findings of the naval committee was the charge that the Navy League is supported by wealthy armament men, ship builders and others who are interested in seeing extensive new construction, and that they tried to force the President's hand in an effort to obtain a chance to bid on some fat contracts. Former Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York, who ran against Mr. Hoover for the Presidency in 1928, is felt to have eliminated his name as a candidate next year, by his action in ordering two organizations to stop selling stickers furthering his candidacy. The stickers were being offered at one cent each in quantities and were to be used on car windows and other public places where they would attract attention. In his letter ordering the two concerns to stop selling the stickers, Governor Smith threatened legal action if they failed to halt the sale. The feeling is growing here that the Roosevelt boom has passed its peek, and that Newton D. Baker is looming as the most logical standard bearer against Mr. Hoover, whose renomination is now certain. The former Secretary of War refuses to either affirm or deny that he will be a candidate, although his friends are urging him to come out in the open. In spite of his reticence, a boom for him is growing every day and he now appears to be the most popular of all the men in the running. Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland is the most active contender at present next to Governor Roosevelt of New York, although his chances for success are said here to be slim. It is more than probable that he will receive a heavy complimentary vote when the Democratic National Convention casts its first vote. Another early candidate will be Senator James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, but his supporters and those of Ritchie are not expected to make more than a pernitory fight for their candidates.

The Golden Text Jeremiah: "Thus saith the I hosts, the God of Israel: Let my prophets and your diviners, thou midst of you, deceive you; hearken to your dreams which thou be dreamed. For they prophecy unto you in my name. I sent them, saith the Lord." Citations from the Old Testament are presented in person-Sermon. One of these includes words of God as interpreted miah: "For my people is foolish have not known me; they do evil, but to do good they knowledge." Other Scriptural include various promises of God the Revelator makes "to have overcometh." A selection from "Science and Key to the Scriptures," Baker Eddy, states: "Mankill learn that evil is not power called despotism is but a nothingness." Former Governor Alfred E.

Advances Projects Several Months to Aid Unemployment The Southern California Telephone Company is advancing major construction projects, totaling $2,500,000, ahead of the normal schedules from 12 to 18 months for the purpose of providing more employment in the territory it serves. The Southern California projects will pay $690,000 to labor and will provide more than 58,500 man-days of work to telephone company men and to labor employed by contractors. Work Load Spread Out The company by cooperation of its employees, has been able to keep 700 of its personnel who otherwise would have been without employment by the spreading of the work load among the employees. In announcing that plans are being completed to start actual construction at once, A. L. Bartlett, manager of the company, said: "The new buildings and equipment are a part of the many telephone construction projects which are being advanced on the Pacific coast by telephone companies who are all working with the same objective in mind. This advancement of construction work, which includes new and replacement projects, is dedicated to sound economic considerations and to the obviously desirable purpose of playing a full part in the general movement to aid in this time of slackened employment." Construction Gap Filled In "To do this, we have filled in the construction gap caused by retardation of telephone growth by judiciously proceeding with the extensions predicated on sound engineering and economic considerations supported by forecasts of future business trends." As a result of material reduction in the volume of business, the telephone Los Angeles to Van Nuys where of a total of $165,000, $50,000 will go to labor. A $1,100,000 project is to be carried forward in east Los Angeles, where a new building and additional equipment is to be provided to serve 11,300 telephone central office lines. This project, advanced nearly two years, provides 18,500 days of work, of which 15,700 will be on a contract basis benefiting labor other than telephone company employees. Garage to Cost $40,000 Dial central office equipment, involving $495,000, is to be installed in Hollywood. This is another project which has been advanced nearly two years and which will provide 6,500 days of work and $70,000 of labor. San Diego will also feel the benefits of the telephone company plan through the erection there of a $40,000 garage to house telephone company vehicles. The garage will be constructed in the near future and will provide 4000 days of contract labor.

Christian Science Lesson-Sermon Christian Science Lesson-Sermon sunday denounces ancient and necromancy, otherwise called crism and hypnotism. The same Sermon is presented in all cases of The Mother Church, The Church of Christ, Scientist, In Mass. The Golden Text is from Jain; "Thus saith the Lord of the God of Israel: Let not your ets and your diviners, that be in dist of you, deceive you, neither to your dreams which ye cause dreamed. For they prophesy falseto you in my name. I have not them, ealth the Lord." Tensions from the Old and New ments are presented in the Lesmon. One of these includes the God as interpreted by Jere- "For my people is foolish, they not known me; they are wise evil, but to do good they have no edge." Other Scriptural citations are various promises of good that evelator makes "to him that ometh." Selection from "Science and Health Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Eddy, states: "Mankind must that evil is not power. Its sodespoison is but a phase of angness." Construction Gap Filled In "To do this, we have filled in the construction gap caused by retardation of telephone growth by judiciously proceeding with the extensions predicated on sound engineering and economic considera­tions supported by forecasts of future business trends. "As a result of material reduction in the volume of business, the telephone company found itself with a large force surplus and our employees have met the situation largely by the spreading of work under reduced time schedules to keep the maximum number on the pay roll." Long Distance Cables Four long distance cable projects are included in the advanced work in Southern California. The items are as follows: A new long distance cable between San Bernardino and Los Angeles, costing $485,000, of which labor totals $145,-000. This job, advanced one year, involves 13,200 men days of work for telephone employees. From San Bernardino to Las Vegas, Nevada, additional long distance tele­phone wires will cost $145,000. Of this amount, $105,000 is labor and the remainder is materials. This job, also advan­ced a year, provides 9,600 days of work. Other Lines Projected Other lines will extend between Indio and Blythe at an expenditure of $90,000, of which $70,000 goes to labor; and from Here is an idea that you can make use of in reviving an old dress or in making a new one from light weight wool or silk crepe. The dress may be of any plain tone you choose and the scarf Gone Is The DAY of GRAB-BAG Selection and cuff trimmings may be of plain tone or figured material. On the original from which our sketch was made the scarf and cuffs were made from silk showing a fairly large polka dot. It is so simple that only a few words of explanation will be necessary. The scarf and collar drapery consist of one long strip of material. The length will depend on your own height so the best way to get the measurements is to measure yourself from the point of the V-neckline in front, around one side, across the back and down over the other shoulder to the hem of the skirt, allowing an inch or so for the drawing in of the scarf at the belt. It is best to make the scarf double, so that if you want it a little less than five inches wide finished you should make a strip ten inches wide. Fold over, stitch along the edge and draw inside out and finish at the ends. The cuff decorations are made from the same sort of silk in the form of undersleeves slipped under the ends of a slightly flaring sleeve. To make these simply make a double fold of material and slant in the side seam so as to make it flare slightly. Each cuff should be four or five inches deep. Only an inch or so extends below the dress sleeve. In applying the scarf collar sew in position along only one side—the right neckline. Leave unattached at the back so that the scarf may simply be draped across the back and allowed to hang free at the left side. Kentucky politicians have the right idea. They hold their election returns back for a day or two so they can be sure of plenty of first page headlines.
