‘LAME DUCKS’ PREPARING SAD SWAN SONGS Capitol’s Big Flock Ready to Leave Interests of Public. By United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.—A VicePresident, six senators and fortyone representatives who took their places at the opening of the final session of congress are lame ducks” a term applied to public officials who hold office after defeat in an election. They will continue in office until the new congress elected in November with Herbert Hoover comes into power next March. Vice-President Dawes will hand over his senate office next March to Senator Charles G. Curtis, the Vice-President-elect. All six of the senators are Democrats: \ Thomas F. Bayard, member of an historic Delaware family. William Cabell Bruce, ardent leader of the wets from Maryland. Edward I. Edwards, another wet leader from New Jersey. Peter G. Gerry of the Rhode Island Gerrys, a millionaire and social leader, friend of Governor Alfred E. Smith and a philanthropist. Earle R. Mayfield of Texas, the only one of the Democratic “lame ducks” who failed to receive his party’s renomination for his post M. M. Neely of West Virginia sartorial leader of the younger senators who started the congressional vogue of green neckties. Every Republican senator who was up for re-election was re-elected and Republican seats left vacant by deaths were filled with Republicans. Two other senators who will not come back after March 4, but who are not pedigreed ‘‘lame ducks” because they did not run for re-elec-tion, are Senators James A. Reed, Democrat of Missouri, one of the most famed orators of the congress, and George P. McLean, Republican of Connecticut, a former banker , and expert on financial legislation. “Lame ducks,” according to the : strange slang parlance of congress, i are expected to sing “swan songs. ’ , The song of Reed is being awaited with the expectation, which met ' that of John Sharpe Williams of Mississippi, who told the senate on 1 his retirement he preferred to be < “a dog baying at the moon” than a 1 United States senator. Many famous figures have been i removed from the roster of the - house by death, retirement or de- j feat. Victor Berger of Milwaukee, ( who had the distinction of being 1 the only socialist member of the > present congress, was defeated for ■ re-election. The retirement list ir- < eludes John Garrett of Tennessee, , the Democratic floor leader Blanton, the stormy petrel from Texas: Thomas Connolly of Texas, who now is to come to the senate; Theodore Burton of Ohio, now a senatorelect, and Begg and Davy of Ohio Charles I removed one of the pearls from his earrings as he was being led to the gallows and gave it to a friend.

Would You Let Your Boss Make Love?

With words that burned, Hollis Hart told Ashtoreth Ashe of his love. He said he wanted her for his very own. He wanted to know if she loved him. But Hollis was the employer of Ashtoreth, She was only his stenographer. Was it right for her to accept his declarations of love? Should a stenographer allow her boss to “make love” to ner? Ashtoreth didn't think much about that. Hart was a millionaire, and he was the most soughtafter man of three continents. What she did is part of the plot of “Orchid,” the story of a modern moon goddess,” which starts Friday in The Indianapolis Times. But The Times wants to know what you think of stenographers and their love-making bosses. And The Times is willing to pay for your ideas.

CURTIS JOB ISSUE Successor to Senate Is Moot Point. By Times Special WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.—Behind the scenes, Washington just now is engrossed in speculation about a quiet but apparently deadly battle going on in the Kansas branch of the Hoover organization. It revolves about when Charles Curtis, Vice-President-elect, will resign as senator and Republican floor leader, and whether Henry J. Allen, Hoover’s publicity director during the campaign will succeed him. Allen and Curtis have not been friends in the past. Curtis, it is said, would not like to see Allen in the Senate. And if Curtis should resign before the first of the year, the present Governor of Kansas would in all probability respect Curtis’ wishes in the matter. On the other hand, if Curtis retains his position until the newly elected Governor takes office, Allen stands an excellent chance of appointment. ASKS SAFETY MOVE National Auto Body Advocates Grade Crossing Abolition. E,y Times Special WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.—Abolition of grade crossing before railroads spent further money on train control devices was advocated here today by the American Automobile Association. The association was pleased by the recent interstate commerce commission decision which made this recommendation. Between 1923 and 1927, the automobile association points out; there were 11,485 people killed and 32,998 injured in 27,326 grade crossing accidents, “During the same time there were 885 people killed and 8,971 injured in derailments on railroads, while 579 were killed and 9,817 injured in rail collisions,” it says. Hoosier Buys Circus By Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Dec. 4. The Eldridge & Bentum circus will be moved to winter quarters here from Circleville, 0., following its purchase by Frank S.
