Radio Inferrieu'.s' Resting between appearances in XVagnerian opera. songbirds Gladys Foster and Claire Cronin charm radio audiences daily over station XVAAC with their appealing interpretations of the pitiable housewife bereft of indispensable Drooper Sudsn and the sobbing honeymooner with red. ronghened hands. The first pI'6fOl'II12ll1CP of the i'Rautenburg Revelsn. presented by the Corinack and Dunn Sleeping Powder Company, was heard over the network last night. Miss Rantenburg favored her listeners with choice selections from her repertoire of original sob poetry. She was accompanied by doleful wails from the violins of Alice Lichwell and Rose and Mary Kelly. The dual effect of this presen- tation was to cause both sponsors and audience to burst into tears. Nevertheless. the latter stoutly maintained that the tears were caused by onion juice liberally sprinkled on chairs and platforms before the show. SPORTS Olympic lVinner.s' Arrive Returning from the Olympic Games held at Athens were Jean Cummings and Ann McGrath. Both girls bore gold and bronze testimonials to their prowess in the field of sports. Of Miss Cummings the Syndicated Press wrote: HNever had fans beheld such superb skill.

EIHSS PHIIPHIEY THE XVE.-XKLY BLAST IMPORTANT BILL DEBATED IN CONGRESS An all-women congress convened on Tuesday, to decide upon several measures of paramount importance to the men of the country. Before the house lies a bill presented by Representative Anne Richards providing for the limiting of the working day of the men at home to eight hours. Severe opposition in the person of Representative Burch confronted her. Miss Burch contended that when women did the housework, not even Sundown saw the finish of their toil. Representative Farrant accused Miss Richards of wishing to return to the old status when men controlled congress and women, the home. Debate waxed furious, and it was only at the order of Czar Holleran that the deadlock was broken. Interviews after the House had adjourned found Representatives Pauline Novak, Madeline O'Brien. Hazel Hamilton, and Barbara Schultz in favor of the bill. All four energetic and ambitious Congresswomen declared that the more lenient measure was in keeping with their policies.
