Latest information is that the new tax billl may come to the house for action around July 28. Members are told it may come in under an ironcall rule and amend ments may not be possible. When that is out of the way, members are told they may go home for a few weeks unless something unfore seen happens. Aconatituent writes that he is op posed to any provision in the new tax bill making mandator? joint in come tax return by Ivusnind and wife. He says that woii*l put a penalty on marriage and; promote divorce. He feeds exemptions per. ■onal and for dependerfts, sViould be the same for single alM married persons. This will be an item of much debate when the tax bill reaches the House. The bills to amend the market ing quota on wheat have come to the House. One is to allow farmers to feed their surplus wheat. The other ia to help farmers who through no fault of their own lost much of their wheat crop. The committee did aot introduce a bill to fix the quota on the basis of harvested acres instead of planted arces. The department no longer requires the fanner to put up a bond for this stored wheat on the farm. Many letters are received about prospects for jobs in Central and South America. There is and will be much activity in those countries. The best advise now is for those interested in those countries to learn Spanish. Several State De partement erapolyees who want to go to Central and South America have been told they could go if they knew Spanish. Inquiries about the health of the] President continue. When he came back from Hyde Park the other day, he looked in good health but those who ade close to him say there is a more wearied look on his face than there was a year ago. George Norris, Senior Senator from Nebraska, was in good health on his 80th birthday. At a dinner given by Sentor Butler the other night, Senator Norris told the Nebr aska delegation that he was feel ing well but would like to be back home in Nebraska. All other mem bers of the Nebraska delegation are enjoying good health. With war closed to the United States, rich people here in the East are looking for some place to in vest their money so they will have something when it is all over. One report is that a few of these rich folk are buying metals, preferably platinum bars. Something tang ible, they say. That' is one rea_ son for the sudden movement hede and elsewhere to buy farm land. Governor Griswold of Nebraska had two full days in Washington. He was the honor guest at a dinner given by Senator Butler. The Gov ernor told the Nebraska delegation that he expected to appoint a judge to fill the vacancy caused by thi death of Judge Dickson of O Neill upon his return to the state. The Governor discussed many problems with the Nebraska members espec ially the campaign to bring some defense activities to our state. Mayor John Ihxrelik of South Sioux City, Nebraska has been in town consulting with various feder al agency chiefs. He is especially interested in the development of Crystal Lake which once was the rendezous of fishing enthusiasts from all parts of the country. Thi mayor believes this natural attract ion will again become a magnet for people who seek outdoor re creation and he has discussed the matter with friendly officials in the various department here. He was accompanied by his family and drove to New York after finishing business here. The War Department not only wants the draftees and the Nation al Guard continued in service, but it seeks the conscription of an ad_ ditional number of young men suf ficient to bring the Army strength to 3,000 000 men. Doubling the size of army dequirements will carry with it many more canton meats and training I acuities and an immense increase in production capacity to furnish the arms and other equipment. The Department regadds a further appropriation of at least four billions of dollars are necessary for the ground work for such an increase of the Army. The cost of maintenance of such an army is not estimated at present. The average cost of such mainten ance now averages about $1,400 per enlisted man. The average for those in aviation is much great er. It is estimated that four million men are now employed in the nat ional defense program, and that as many more will be needed. The government is getting upon an ex tensive training program to fit many young men for the new war industries. Sixty million dollars has been set aside for such training under the direction of the N. Y. A. Flans are under way for other training facilities for suppling skil led labor for the industries, but training requires time. The Civil Service Commission and the feder al employment agencies are wide ly advertising for men skilled in various mechanical and construct ion trades, but the requirements as to skill and experience are barring mipty young, men who have hpd no opportunity to acquire either. Thede is a serious movement a mong members to do something a bout decentralizing non-defense government agencies. But the House the other day defeated a resolution which would set up a committee to do something about it. Defeat of this measure was largely due to the feeling of a stand, ing committee that it could do the work without the intervention of any special investigating committee. Members of the Public Buildings and Grounds Committee say they are studying the matter. To date, about 1100 HOLC employees are being transferred to New York. About 200 employees in the Graz ing section of the Interior Depart ment are being shifted to Utah. Washington Board of Trade of ficials are in an uproar. Among the recent visitors in the Third Congressional District Office were Rev. and Mrs. Isaac Cbstle of York, Nebraska; Mr. and Mrs. Max Janousky, who formerly liv ed at Norfolk, Nebraska, but now of Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Abe Shot well of Omaha Nebraska; Mr. and Mrs. H.

Condemned to death were 6 new coupes, alike throughout, except that in each crankcase—under lock—was a dif ferent big-name motor oil... one 5-quart fill... never any added in any car’s life time .. . 57-mile speed kept up under Death Valley’s all-consuming sun until each engine went to smash. A strictly impartial, strictly certified test of motor oil life, decided only by 6 cars’ death. Which 5-Quart fill lasted all of 1^398 miles?... Certified One oil outlasted the other test oils by 6,683 miles or more . .. Certified. And the whole lot of them—5 big-name oils —averaged not even half of the 13,398 wiiloa delivered by the new long-lasting oil. You can have it in your engine right now—at popular price—by asking for CONOCO N# MOTOR OIL Its mileage and economy come straight from Conoco oil’s new synthetic or man-made extra substance—Thialkene inhibitor.

Now the trouble aiming to start on motor oils lurks in the normal firing of every engine. Filth is formed that can spoil one drop-then two drops "catch it”—then four—then sixteen— faster, fatter, FASTER, till the whole fill weakens «nd the oil level sinks too fast ... but not when the start of this oil fouhng trouble is inhibited—held back— by life-giving Thialkene inhibitor in new Conoco N*h motor oil, on sale today for your car. You’ll never Death -Tfest your Conoco Nth oil nor rej>eat other proving-ground tortures. You'll still drain and refill at recommended intervals. But how you’ll expect to stretch the distance before you ever add a quart, judging by this big fact: 5 heavily advertised oils in the Cer tified Death Valley Test were outmile aged 74% to 161% by Conoco Nth oil.
