HE senate passed the McNary farm relief bill, Including the ex- port debenture feature, by a vote of 04 to 33. Only two Democrats—Wag- ner of New York and Walsh of Mas. sachusetts—were recorded in the negative, Twenty-one Republicans voted for the bill and 81 against It. The action of many of the latter was In protest against the debenture provision which President Hoover op- posed. Leaders of the house at first ‘were disposed to refuse to accept the senate measure on the ground that the debenture clause was revenue leg- islation, which must originate In the lower house. Then it was decided to send the bill to conference and kill the objectionable feature there, A gpecial rule was adopted, however, setting forth that the house stood on its rights and that its action In this particular case should not be consid- ered a precedent. The rule carried a rebuke to the senate for invading the prerogatives of the house. All the house conferees and three of the five senate conferees were on record as opposed to the export debenture plan, EBATE on the tariff bill continued in the house and the expressions of dissatisfaction with its provisions were numerous, Many requests for fur- ther Increases In duties on farm prod- ucts were submitted to the ways and means committee, President Hoover showed his good will toward agricul ture by signing executive orders, un- der the operation of the flexible tariff, increasing the rates on milk, cream and flaxseed; he also approved an in- crease in the duties on window gines ns asked by Pennsylvania manufac turers.

In Washington It Is now understood that the place of ambassador to France will be given to Renator Walter Edge of New Jer. sey after the close of the special ses- sion of congress. HE Washington Post, having re- cently printed an article predict. ing the recall of the Belgian ambas- sador, Prince De Ligne, which brought an apology from the secretary of state, the Philadelphia Record came out with a story of the alleged con- duct of Edward McLean, publisher of the Post, during a fanection at the Beigiah embassy, stating he was asked to leave by Prince De Ligne, and implying that this supposed oc- currence was the real reason for the attack on the ambassador In the Post. Now Mr. McLean, who ls prom- inent in Washington society, has brought suit against the Record for £1,000,000 damages, denying that pa- per's story In toto and asserting that as a result of the story he “has been and is greatly injured In his said good name, fame, reputation and cred. it ... and Is brought into public scandal, scorn, infamy, shame, and disgrace, . . . has suffered and en- dured great mental pain and anguish and is subjected to great hu- millation and endured great injury in his feelings, and has otherwise been permanently damnified.” .

True names among the Indians define or indicate the social group inte which a man ia born. whatever honor they entail being due to the accomplishments of ancestors. Personal names mark what the individual! has done himself Ancient Masques A masque was a species of dra. matic entertainment which reached the highest popularity In England In the reign of James 1 but which also was a favorite diversion at the courts of Henry VIII and Elizabeth, The masque probably grew out of the “mummings” which are heard of in England as early as 1377. Masques were commonly played before royalty and the nobility. Rev. Ronald Bayne, writing of the masque, says, “Essen. tial masque was the appeal of the mo- ment to the eye, and the ear, the blaze of color and lght, the mist of per. fumes, the succession of rapidly changing scenes and tableaux crowd. ed with wonderful and beautiful fig ures.” . $ 1 50 Tires $450 Guaranieed, Lamps, , equipment.

Late last su tumn fifteen families of Indians from Nulato and other villages met together to fulfill the custom of erecting houses over the graves of those who died dur ing the year. The shelters of the old graves were given a fresh coat of bril- iiant paint, Many of the unique mausoleums have windows and floors and contain rugs and other articles that were used by the departed ones Every western Alaska Indian tribe has a different method of protecting the spirit of departed ones. Rhodes’ Prediction In “Rhodes’ All Red Route,” by Lewis R. Freeman, this statement is attrib uted to Rhodes upon his first visit to Victoria falls: “Deo you know that the natives claim that they can see far into the future by looking into the depths of that big rainbow? , .. 1 can see two lines of shining steel run. ning from one end of Africa to the other . . all the way from Cape Town to the Mediterranean, . . . Do son see that bar of red? (Then the rainbow glowed a dusky rose where the light of the setting sun struck there the smoke of smoldering veldt fires), "That meaus it's going to be an ‘All Red’ railway: that it will run in British territory all the way”
