|||njmnt^ consne/jmnn j p richphdj i Washington, Jan 20.?It wan only on last Monday that the assignment of now mouthers to committees was completed, so It can bo seen why Congressional machinery la ho hIow in getting In motion. I'nder Houho Rules mpmlmm of the Way* and MoantJ commit too are elected by tho Marjority Party caucus. This committee then soiwrs Miijorrty menihoi-a ror the oth~ or standing Houho committees. The minority party aeloctH its committee momborH in tho natiio way. Under sonlorlty rules, thore is no way for a member to become chairman of a committee unless those ahead of him In service are defeated, resign or die. Since the assignments of new members, all committees are holding their first tneqtlngs this week, where bills having priority are being taken up. It can bo seen In a body, numbering 35 members, that most of the actual study and work insist bo done in the committee to which a particular hill is referred. Proper committee consideration includes studying the record from every angle, consideration of reports and recommendations of the Kx-j ecuiive Department concerned, round-! tahlc discussions of the merits and 1 demerits of the proposed legislation and finally a vote of approval or disapproval of tho hill It is very hard for any hill to become law. unless sponsored by the Administration in power. The majority report of a committee < always foreshadows a respectful hearing on the part of the House. It is unusual tor minority reports to be adopted, but. has happened of course at times Heretofore, it has been hard for a member to be distinctly heard on the floor of (he House on account of incessant noise and confusion. This year a member should be heard and] given better attention on account of tile addition of an atnplyfylng system for (tie House chamber. Our forefathers would have shuddered at this, but time moves on At first the bill has to tie Introduced, then referred to a committee, next referred -by the whole committee to a sub-committee for exhaustive; study, then reported back to the whole i ( oinnilttee, then a rule for consideration must be approved for the Rules committee (or otherwise it must be. considered by the House under suspen-| sion of the rules requiring a two-thirds majority for passage ) la the Senate moving pictures have LrtVn taken of tile proceedings for the tir-t time, in our historv This iiuio-' i whin has been approved on the !heor> that detailed recordings of the 1. i>*117* of the people's representatives .7 .iji, i,!' tho ln-.st investment* to po?--| j'o'ua'o lMlI- representative form of go, ramotit Our best insurance is roo joui of >pee< It and Ifoi'd 'tn Sotret.iry of Slate Cordell Hull, is bavin.t to fight to secure ratification h.s Ro? iprotal Trade Treaties v\ith 'l,. ;- , outlines Hull's ( Olltelltioll is tbi' if we .ire going to -ell foreign count rie> we have to let t belli Sell to us Hull is right. It is ono of tho fundamental laws of barter and sale that to "sell" we must "buy." For example, many people object to sale of Japanese products in this country, but it is not often mentioned that Japan is one of our best customers and the trade balance is in our favor Naturally, lobbyists are camping in Washington in effort to defeat many of these trad'1 treaties In other words, t he\ want to excludt. bv means of a high tariff, certain foreign products coining to this country, because these products <?re sold in competition with products of the manufacturing enterprises wllich the individual lobbyist i represents. It is the old problem of | free trade on the one hand of high tariff on the other. I J " !

"People think of Hollywood only 'in connection with the movies," writes Pantages. ' "They forget that the most congested oil fields in the world are enriching the natives; that the orange groves spreading In all directions supply half the world; that the harbor Is the fourth largest shipping port in the nation. Hollywood is prodigiously rich; It is young and prodigal, and It has suddenly gone social in a big way." "This is something quite new," the famous columnist says. "Of course, the movie colony has been trying to be social for years, but J it had got nowhere. There have always been two society columns; in the local papers. One for the nabob descendants of the old settlers, and one for the movie colony. Socialites and clnemalites didn't Intermingle. Santa Barbara, New York, Newport, Europe, remained aloof from Hollywood." Pantages says that when Dorothy, Countess di Frasso first appeared on the scene, Plckfalr was in Its heyday. Why she came to Hollywood In the first place, only she can tell. For her villa in Rome was world-famous find her parties in New York the rage. She had plenty to do, and lots of money. Probably she was Intrigued by all the wild tales of the goings on of the movie people. riera sne couia perceive uwreij ana scores of the nicest-looking poople ] she had ever seen, stunning glrU and strikingly handsome men. hating a good time In their own way, but not being admitted, and she didn't care for that at all.

By calmly discarding: the phony Hollywood caste system, she made her parties succeaeful beyond anything the town had ever seen. The fame of these festivals spread rapidly and invitations were sought everywhere. Hollywood woke up, and every hostess in the town began to girt? tho countess' sort of parties.
