residence of her daughter, Mrs. Her-

she made her home. She had been
in failing health for many months,

“This is in turn one factor in a
deeper confusion. In our absorption
in the pursuit of material values, we
appear to have forgotten that the
real values which make life
living are spiritual values.
"For example, one of the
monest confusions in the mind of
man today is that between pleasure
^nd happiness. .ZhjL mostJrcqqent
source of error in our present con-
duct is the delusion that’* an in-
crease in pleasurable physical sen-
sations means an increase in happi
ness.
"In fact the two have practically
no relation to one^another at all.
This elementary confusion is symp-
tomatic of the widespread and deep-
rooted eror”.

Washington, D, C., June 24.—The
house today sent to conference with
the senate the $2,3OO,OW,0OO Garner
relief bill.
The gigantic unemployment relief
bill, designed to provide food and
work for the jobless and give new im-
petus to industry, was passed Thurs-
day by the Senate.
The Democratic relief program wa4
approved and sent to conference with
the House by a chorus of ayes with-
out even the formality of a record
vote, despite strong indication that it
faces a veto from President Hoover.
It carrie* with it to conference the
$2,300,000,000 bill sponsored by
Speaker Garner, which the House
passed several weeks ago.
The final form of the bill will
pend entirely on the nature of
compromise worked out between
House 'and Senate.
The bill which goes- to the White
House is certain, however, to contain
the bond i.tstie feature to which Presi-
dent Hoover has indicated unyielding"
opposition, as both measures contain
it in one form or another.
The Senate bill contains provision
for a $500,090,000 bond issue to fi-
nance a huge public works program.
The Garner bill would authorize a
$1^00,000,000 program.
