H. OI.COTT. HIS FATHER, AT ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. ST. PETERSBURG. Fla., Dec. 25. (Special.) Ben Olcott, governor of Oregon, had not seen his father or mother for five years, so when the convention of governors came to end at Harrisburg, Pa., several days ago. he made a quick jump to Philadelphia, then to Washington, in quick order, and skipped 1000 miles from the capi tal to St. Petersburg, where Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Olcott are spending their 11th winter season. Governor Olcott was besieged with invitations to banquets and luncheons by both civic and social organizations on his arrival, but he firmly and po litely turned them all down, prefer ring to be with his parents. They are from Mercer county. Illinois. The governor's father is an ardent devotee of the game of roque, played much like croquet. Father and son par tlcipated in several matches, in which the latter came out second best. While his stay in the "Sunshine City" was short, the Oregon . chief executive covered every point of in terest in the resort. He was taken on several flights over St. Petersburg and the peninsula in a high-powered hydroplane. When interviewed, Governor Olcott said he was sorry he could not make his stay longer in the city and take part in its many recreations.

CONGRESS MAKES RECORD (ConUnofd From First Page.) months ago, will approve the house resolution and the question will again go to the president for determination. He has vetoed this resolution once, consequently his attitude when the measure reaches him again will be observed with keen interest to ascer tain if he has taken cognizance at all of the verdict delivered by the peo pie at the polls on November 2. Other measures passed by the one or other house of congress in the short period of the session include the following: Bill to amend food and drugs act to protect public from misbranding of containers and packages, passed house. Bill to provide for award of medals of merit for personnel of merchant marine for heroism in war, passed . the house. Bill extending the time for 1920 as sessment work on 'mining claims to July 1, 1921, passed by both houses and sent to the president. Resolution providing for the ap pointment of committee of three each from senate and house to make ar rangements for the inauguration March 4, passed by both houses. Mem bers of committee are Senators Knox, Kelson and Overman and Representa tives Cannon, Reavis and Rucker. Appropriation Bills Studied. Meanwhile a multiplicity of import ant measures are under consideration in the committees of house and sen ate.

Road Funds Asked. As introduced, the bill asks $100, 000,000 a year for five years for pub lic roads and 110,000,000 a year for ten years for forest roads. A favora ble report on the bill in modified form will be made cn January 25, ac cording to Representative Summers of Washington, a member of the roads committee of the house. "The bill will probably carry an appropriation for only one year," said Representative Summers, "because this congress does not wish to com mit ' an incoming administration, friendly to the good-roads movement, to a fixed policy. "An appropriation can be made to keep the work going next year to give President Harding time to formulate a roads policy and send his recommen dations to congress. "The amount will not be $100,000, 000," Mr. Summers continued, "but will be an amount sufficient to carry the work along on the same scale as in the last year. There will be no curtailment of road work, but the committee does not believe that the same amount or anything like it will be required, because of the decreased prices of road materials."
