"Diamond Lil," typifying
Democracy in Wall Street, is
amused by the Claudius II. Hus
wn situation. . .
Mr. Huston is chairman of
the National Republican com
mittee. Some high-minded Republic
ans, including President Hoo
ver, don't want Mr. Huston as
chairman. '
But, apparently, the high-up
Republicans don't dare accept
Mr. Hutou's challenge to "come
and put me out." ;
On the way out, Mr. Huston
might talk.
Democrats wonder what Re
publicans fear in the way of
possible conversation in the
"compulsory exit" process.
Almost anybody can do a

The distinguished Robert T.
Jones of Atlanta, Ga., docs a
thing better than anybody else
ALL OF THE TIME.
. Yesterday , with the ther
mometer at 100, and 5000 super
heated enthusiasts following
him, Hobby Jones made his
first nine holes in 34, two
strokes under par, in the na
tional golf championship, and

everything in Europe and con

dinners.
When one of his officers an

could answer : " I went out and
beat them again."
Dr. Frankel, learned Metro

Between the ages of 3 and

each child goes through all the
various stages through which
tha human race as a whole has
jmssed, from the stone age to
the present day.
"The philosophic'' mind,"
knowing that a young child is
a young barbarian, and cannot
be anything else, does not fool
ishly expect . too much, and
force the child to be a hypo

important in the bringing up

that is AFFECTION, and cspe-

SECRETS OF

ARE
DENIED
Hoover Refuses to Submit
Documents for Senate
Perusal Johnson in Bit
ter Denunciation of Presi
dentAction Urged.
WASHINGTON. July 11. (P)
President Hoover's refusal to ub
mlt to the senate the secret docu
ments exchanged prior to nego
tiation of the London naval treaty
prompted Senator Norrls. Repub
lican, Nebraska, to offer the first
reservation to the pact today and
led to a vigorous attuck upon the
executive message by Senator
Johnson, Republican, California.
The Norrls reservation provides
that ratifying the treaty the sen
ate would do so with the distinct
understanding that "no agreement,
secret or otherwise" existed out
side the treaty and that no secret
papers exist that would modify the
terms of the pact.
The reservation was offered Im
mediately after the president's
message had been reaU to the sen
ate. Juluison Bitter
Senator Johnson then took the
floor and said:
"Upon what time has this re
public fallen. Upon what series
of incidents has this senate devel
oped such a futility that it. can
not be permitted to Jiave the
documents that we must have in
order to act with wisdom and In
telligence." Senator Johnson demanded the
senate take action ugalnst the
Hoover message denying the pa
pers. "This message calls for more
than denunciation," ho shouted
"It calls for action. It calls tor
the assertion of a manhood that
rulses Its head high. ... W ought
not supinely permit such a mes
suge to go by without uctlon.
"It may be tho glory that was
once that of a United States sen
ator has faded Into insignificance
and we will submit to the lash
ing just administered. But If there
are men in the body with the spirit
of those old patriots who wrote
this country's history in the ever
lasting sky of fame, they wilt not
take lying down the lashing that
has been handed to them In ask
ing for the documents which they
have the right to see."
The Californlan did not propose
what action should be taken.
