The to teach the Coral school near Mar- | girls are completing a three-year+ front a two-year teachers' course at Washington, May 22 - It is now apparent that the Congress is preparing to close up the shop and call it a <iay. The speedy disposition of highly controversial measures which would ordinarily precipitate Weeks of wi'angling is an unmistakable sympton of the feeling at Capitol Hill. Farty leaders say that the President is willing to second their wish for early leave-taking provided they , enact pending legislative measures he considers essential at this time./ Thfe break between the Senate and the White Hoiise %ws, no sigii of healing. Only the ironclad rules which govern the House keep the lid down on the simmering rebellion against Roosevelt, domination in that body. The House leaders and major commit • tees are playing along With the Chief Executive, which givps him an effective counter-weight in the Administration's uncertain relations with the Senate. An obedient Hpuse ^lak^s >he. President «"fMeji with the Senate1. * ". The Nation's capital is-always seething with speculatron and surmise. The dopesters are stumped as to ttye real motives and the consequences of HerBtert Hoover's denunciation of NRA. Republican Senators do not take kindly to the former President's intervention at this time. This reaction is not "unusual as Mr. Hoover never rated high with these solons during his occupancy of the Executive Mansion. Critics insist that Hoover committed ^pother blunder because his untimely attack provided his successor with a much-needed weapon to whip the unruly Senate into line. It is argued, with some degree of plausibility, that the tirade from the shades of Palo Alto will inevitably strengthen the(Democratic morale and bring about solidarity for partisan purposes only. Another week or two of silence and Mr. Hoover would probably have seen his wish fulfilled in havipg the Blue Eagle -plucked of its bright feathers through legislative action. Now the Democratic law-makers will be obliged to accede to Roosevelt ideas tp save their political hides. The seven-point program for the re • vision of NRA now recommended by the Administration stands a better chance than ever of finding favor. The Democratic Senators who boldly proclaimed their opposition to the con* tinuance of the foremost alphabetical agency are displaying a change of front. From a strictly political viewpoint, they have little or no alternative than to eat crow rather than swallowing the Blue Eagle as they hoped for at one time. Business groups occupy a "similar position owing to the passage of the Wagner Labor Disputes bill by the Senate last week. Acceptance Of the Roosevelt revision of NRA^is the only choice they have against domination by labor unions as authorized in the Wagner biH. Labor lobbies, too, find themselves in a bad way though they gained a distinct victory in the Senate with the labor disputes bill. This outfit must either join the parade for the extension of NRA as proposed by the Administration or watch the interment of their pet measure in the House. If the President says "no" to the House leaders, the Wagner bill will be pigeon-holed. Employers are in the same dilemna as failure to support the Blue Eagle program means Presidential approval of the Wagner bill which will revolutionize relations between capital and labor. The growing popularity of new forms of lobbying will probably check the demand of a. few Senators ,for a bill requiring the registration and control of legislative agents. The much-mooted march of the farmers to Washington to demand the enactment of AAA amendments put the finishing touch on this anti-lobby proposal. The mass movements of citizens interested in certain legislative measures show that fair and equitable control is impossible. The controversial AAA amendments will pass. What legislator or group could stand out against the persistent demands of groups of voters from their areas? If it is true that the Administration sponsored and indirectly financed the recent pilgrimage from the rural districts then they can be credited with a smart, if deplorable ^trick. Lawmakers form 34 states were invited r.nd attended dinners here a!t which time the farmers talked about their mission and obtained the necessary pledges. Veteran observers have warned similar groups"' of business men from adopting this policy as the reaction may not be so favorable. m-i engo next year.

Inasmuch as seasonal conditions in northern Illinois ar* somewhat behind those in section $ farther south accounts for the delay in the movement of the bugs. According to word which Brock re* ceived from Professor W. P. Flint, chief entomologist of the Illinois Stati Natural History Survey and of the Illinois college, there are still plenty of chinch bugs left here to cause serious damage to crops in spite of the recent rains and the white fungoua disease. . A careful watch is befog kept on the situation throughout the state,, and more detailed reports probably . will be made within the next few day.-jr" ProfL FIL.t said. The real threat to the corn crop will not come until the small glrainst eithed dry up or are cut., By thaf time all the old bugs that'earried ovef; from winter hibernation will be dead£? and the first-hatched bugs, still withy ! out wings, will move out of the smalfK grain fields into the corn. ,, If continued rains and the spread'? of the white fungous disease do nof; wipe out the bugs by that time, theT* only .hope for farmers to save their* corn will he to surround it with bar»*3 riers to stop and trapi the young; hugs as they march from the fields ©if! barley* ry«, voats wheat corn. •. : • 0-v M Mysterious Etruscans The mysterious Etruscans of Italy are traditionally said to have come from' Asia Minor.
